The Shufei has been in the emperor's good graces these years and lives in the beautiful Zihua Palace in the palace.
The Zihua Palace was decorated in a luxurious and grand manner. Zhou Suihuan had been here once before, and it was not so exquisite and luxurious at that time. Now it seemed that Concubine Shu was living in a better situation in the palace.
Seeing Jiang Mingzhi, Concubine Shu looked at her calmly. Although she was surprised, she did not show any astonishment.
"Sit down."
Concubine Shu smiled, her voice gentle and beautiful. If Jiang Mingzhi didn't know that she was nearly forty years old now, he would probably mistake her for a girl in her teens, just looking at her face.
The Wang family members all have good looks, and Concubine Shu has undoubtedly inherited the good looks of the Wang family. She has almond eyes and rosy cheeks, making her a standard beauty. What's even more rare is that she has a set of neat teeth.
Jiang Mingzhi knew from the past that there was another reason why the emperor loved Concubine Shu, which was that she had a set of neat and beautiful millet teeth. When she smiled, she showed eight standard teeth, which made her lively and playful. Even in her age, she could still vaguely see some of her youthful and beautiful beauty.
The palace maid brought a soft stool over, and Jiang Mingzhi thanked Concubine Shu and sat down.
When the tea was served, Concubine Shu raised her hand and said with a smile, "This tea was your mother's favorite when she was alive. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Her mother's favorite tea when she was alive... Jiang Mingzhi's heart moved slightly, wondering if Concubine Shu had any ulterior motives in bringing this up. She lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and replied with a smile, "Of course Concubine Shu's tea is good."
This sentence is naturally good and makes sense to me.
It seemed that if this tea did not come from Zihua Palace, it would be a different matter. Concubine Shu listened, pursed her lips, and gently put down the tea bowl.
"Child, although you haven't met your aunt since you were born, your mother and I were very affectionate when we were still young. It's a pity that the palace is so crowded that even if your aunt wanted to, she couldn't bring you to her side to take care of you all the time."
But this is not the first time I see you.
Jiang Mingzhi said to herself that the appearance of Concubine Shu was different from her impression, and she seemed to be putting on a show.
She is a noble lady in the palace and the most favored concubine in the six palaces. Is there anything else that requires her to put on a show with a mere servant like her?
Jiang Mingzhi had an idea in his mind, but he held back and just waited to see what Concubine Shu wanted to do.
"Do you blame me for not taking care of you all these years?"
Concubine Shu suddenly changed the subject and asked directly.
Jiang Mingzhi was stunned, feeling that this was really out of the question. Not to mention that she was an aunt from another family, even if she was a biological aunt, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. She has a father and grandmother above her, so how could she blame an aunt?
Jiang Mingzhi quickly stood up and apologized in a panic, "Aunt, what did Mingzhi say wrong?"
She looked as anxious as a deer, and Concubine Shu didn't know what to do next for a moment.
There were many occasions for drama in the palace, but she had never acted like this with Jiang Mingzhi, an unmarried girl, and she was a little unable to continue.
But thinking of her intention today, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and asked, "Tell your aunt the truth. She will definitely not blame you."
Jiang Mingzhi lowered her head and said respectfully, "This humble servant has absolutely no intention of blaming Her Majesty Shufei. If this humble servant has said or done anything inappropriate, Her Majesty Shufei will punish her."
She kept calling Concubine Shu and her servant "you", which made Concubine Shu feel unhappy.
I have even condescended to ask her to call me aunt, but you still deliberately keep her at a distance. It is really ungrateful of me.
Thinking of Jiang Mingzhi's life experience, she felt relieved again, so she sneered and changed the subject.
