The prince didn't have much contact with Jiang Qingyao, and his impression of her was that she was an extraordinary beauty.
And now, he paid special attention to why she was called "the most beautiful woman in Shangjing".
There is no shortage of beauties in the palace. Even though the prince had seen concubines with different styles and temperaments, Jiang Qingyao was still stunned at first sight.
Her skin is whiter than snow and her appearance is radiant.
The prince fluttered his long eyelashes and signaled the two young eunuchs beside him to go and pick up Jiang Qingyao.
The young eunuch stretched out his hand and asked Jiang Qingyao to step on it.
Are they going to carry her down? How much effort is that?
But come to think of it, it would be impossible for her to jump down by herself and let the eunuch catch her. I guess no one could catch her.
It’s not that Jiang Qingyao feels that she is too heavy, but the little eunuch is just too thin.
"Use a handkerchief to cushion it." Jiang Qingyao said.
When these words were spoken, the two young eunuchs were both shocked. They were both insignificant figures in the imperial city, with shoulders as high as kites and knees as bent as lambs, but this man was thinking for them.
Afraid that the shoes would dirty their hands.
No one in the imperial city thought like her.
Jiang Qingyao didn't notice anything strange about them, nor did she think there was anything special about what they said just now.
The young eunuch immediately put a handkerchief under him. Jiang Qingyao grabbed the wall with both hands and, with the help of their support, she jumped down lightly when she was about the same height from the ground.
"Madam Hou, be careful."
The prince reminded him, and was surprised for a moment.
Jiang Qingyao's style of doing things was completely different from that of the women he had come into contact with before.
"Nothing." After Jiang Qingyao stood firm, she immediately said, "Your Highness, please send someone to Qingfeng Pavilion to stop them. Don't let them escape."
"If that person runs away, we'll have to go back and identify and catch him, which is a bit troublesome."
The prince ordered the eunuch to go to Qingfeng Pavilion and then asked, "What happened?"
"This is a long story, let's talk as we walk." Jiang Qingyao chose her words and briefly described her experience.
From her few words, the prince also sensed the turbulent situation.
If she were careless and listened to the words of one of the palace maids, she would fall into an unimaginable situation.
But Jiang Qingyao herself had a calm and composed attitude.
The Crown Prince: "Who does Madam Hou think is behind this?"
Jiang Qingyao's mind flashed through many faces, and finally she said, "I guess it's Concubine Qiao."
Someone who intends to do something bad will not reveal the master behind the scenes. But the palace maid said that Concubine Li wanted to harm her, so I think she was trying to shift the blame.
Concubine Li has returned to the position of concubine and will not take any action for the time being. Even the unruly and domineering Princess Yongjia has calmed down. This shows their attitude - to keep a low profile and be patient.
Since it wasn't Concubine Li, then among the people she offended, the one who could place people in the palace was probably Concubine Qiao.
The two arrived at Qingfeng Pavilion. Jiang Qingyao stood outside the door and did not go in. "It is not convenient for me to get involved in this matter right now. I will leave it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The Queen's birthday party is such a happy occasion, how can we allow those petty people to spoil the fun?
Let the people in the palace investigate the matters in the palace.
The prince knew her intention, and felt sorry for her for being wronged, and had to consider her mother's birthday, so he did not make a big fuss.
He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Madam Hou. I will give you an explanation after the banquet."
Jiang Qingyao nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was no danger and she escaped safely.
After a while, one of the eunuchs hurried out and reported, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is in the room, and the door is locked."
The prince entered the attic and stopped outside the room, only to hear an ambiguous voice coming from inside.
You can imagine what the people in there are doing.
A frost covered the prince's handsome face.
At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, someone actually plotted to murder the Marquis' wife and committed such obscene things in the palace. How could this be possible!
He raised his hand, and the young eunuch broke in and held down the person inside.
…
On this side, Jiang Qingyao hurried back to the banquet, and suddenly a round-faced palace maid jumped out from the corner.
"Madam, I am the person assigned by Marquis Anguo to protect you."
Coming again?
Jiang Qingyao was speechless.
This person's kung fu is really amazing, but she had never noticed it.
After the round-faced palace maid finished speaking, she immediately took out a pink sachet and handed it over.
"A token of gratitude."
His speaking style is a bit like that of Marquis Anguo, concise and to the point.
Jiang Qingyao hesitated for a moment before taking the sachet and muttering, "I can't imitate it this time."
When Concubine Qiao sent "bandits" to kill her, Marquis Anguo showed up "along the way" and escorted her. At that time, she gave this sachet to Marquis Anguo.
It is not only embroidered with peach blossom patterns, but also has a faint scent of cold pine, like the scent of Marquis Anguo.
After confirming the other party's identity, Jiang Qingyao relaxed.
The round-faced palace maid had a childish face with rosy cheeks, and looked very blessed.
However, his temperament is cold.
The round-faced maid said, "I sensed someone was about to harm Madam, so I followed them silently. Before I could take action, Madam averted the danger on her own."
"After Madam kicked the bad guy, I locked the door. I saw Madam climbing over the wall and wanted to help her down, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince showed up, so it was inconvenient for me to show up."
Jiang Qingyao: "What's your name?"
The round-faced maid paused, "Nan Dong."
Jiang Qingyao lowered her head, rummaged through her purse, and took out a few gold beans for her.
"Nan Dong, you did a good job."
It’s a good idea to close the door. The person will not be able to escape and will be caught by the prince.
Is there a reward for this? But protecting the lady is her duty...
Madam, what a generous gesture.
Nan Dong took the golden bean in a daze and said, "Madam, please follow me to change your clothes."
Jiang Qingyao finally changed her clothes and felt much fresher.
Nan Dong is a person stationed in the palace and does not show up easily.
Before leaving, Jiang Qingyao gave her a tiny pill and said, "This thing dissolves in wine and water. It is colorless and tasteless. If you find a chance, put it in Concubine Qiao's cup."
"Okay." Nan Dong responded calmly, "Madam, do you want to poison Concubine Qiao?"
“…”
Jiang Qingyao:?
Poisoning Concubine Qiao? She's not that crazy!
Jiang Qingyao: "No... just teaching her a lesson."
Nan Dong retreated.
She thought that if the lady wanted to poison Concubine Qiao directly, it would be a bit risky.
There is no need to take risks. When you know what Concubine Qiao did, you can just let her die quietly. It will not be difficult for you.
It all depends on what the adults think.
"Aunt San, you took a long time to change your clothes." He Siyu said hurriedly when she saw Jiang Qingyao coming back.
Jiang Qingyao looked calm and composed. "But the scenery in the palace is very beautiful, so I walked around for a while and helped digest my food."
The wine glasses clinked and the music of stringed instruments pleased the ears.
The banquet gradually came to an end and everyone slowly dispersed.
Qin Yurong just came back at this time and felt Jiang Qingyao's gaze sweeping over her.
She couldn't help but tighten her hands at her sides.
Jiang Qingyao didn't say much. When she passed by Qin Yurong, she smelled a faint smell of alcohol.
Really restless.
