Perhaps because he caught a cold yesterday, Jiang Jiang got up a little late.
She vaguely remembered someone leaning against her in her sleep, and when she turned around, she was not surprised to find that there was no one there.
There wasn't even a wrinkle on the bed.
It must have been taken care of by someone in advance. Jiang Jiang knew her sleeping posture. Under normal circumstances, the entire bed should have been rolled over by her. How could it be so flat?
She looked at the palace maid waiting beside her and asked, "Did His Majesty come here last night?"
Upon hearing this, the palace maid immediately bowed and saluted, "I have just been transferred to serve the master, and I am not aware of what happened last night. Your Majesty left the main hall this morning."
10086: [It’s better to ask me than to ask her. ]
Jiang Jiang ignored it and started washing up.
10086: [?]
10086: [Hello? Didn't you hear me? Ask me.]
Jiang Jiang: [...As soon as I saw her unnatural reaction, I knew she must have been in bed last night. If a stranger was lying next to me and you didn't warn me and got me up, I would really beat you up today.]
10086: [QAQ]
The maids in front of the emperor must have been carefully selected. They were not outstanding in appearance, but they were very pleasing to the eye and even spoke in a soft voice.
Perhaps because Fu Yao had threatened her with death, several pretty palace maids surrounded Jiang Jiang and told her interesting stories in the palace.
Of course, there is nothing much to say about the current emperor's palace, and the concubines in the harem are almost all decorations.
Chi Chun, the leader of these palace maids, looked at Jiang Jiang and couldn't help but say, "In fact, His Majesty's harem is almost entirely filled with beauties shoved in by various factions. When they first entered the harem, they all wanted to stand out and gain His Majesty's favor. In the past two years, the harem has been like a stage, with a new drama being staged every few days."
Chi Chun lowered his voice, but his hands did not stop moving, skillfully tying Jiang Jiang's hair into a bun.
"It's like raising poisonous insects. The Emperor has never set foot in anyone's palace. It's only become quiet these days. There's no scrambling for favors, and the masters have learned to meet up and play cards."
"It is not the scarcity of wealth that worries us, but the inequality of wealth."
The last sentence sounded like a whisper. Jiang Jiang raised her eyes and saw that the other palace maids seemed not to have heard it clearly.
Jiang Jiang: “…”
Through the bronze mirror, Jiang Jiang could see Chi Chun's face, which had a rare freshness in the deep palace.
How could a little palace maid talk about the emperor in front of an unfamiliar palace concubine without anyone telling her to?
Jiang Jiang felt a little suspicious.
When Sun Jinlu came in with a few young eunuchs carrying a box of Western treasures, Jiang Jiang took a look at the tense expression on his face and suddenly asked, "Did your majesty say when I can return to Chuxiu Palace?"
Sun Jinlu signaled the eunuchs beside him to lift and put the body gently. The moment he met Jiang Jiang's gaze, a smile appeared on his face: "Master, you are joking. It has never been reasonable for a concubine to live in Chuxiu Palace."
Jiang Jiang put down the spoon and said, "Palace Concubine...? Your Majesty has stated my rank and which palace I will live in. I will make preparations in advance."
Sun Jinlu cried out, "Ouch!" "This servant didn't know that His Majesty might be preparing a surprise for you. Please wait."
The smile on his face remained unchanged, but he quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead as he raised his hand. "His Majesty has ordered that you stay here with peace of mind. Chuxiu Palace... has already sent someone to retrieve your belongings."
What kind of sin is this? He has to tie someone to his side. The emperor is now reviewing memorials in the main hall, but he has to make this face.
Jiang Jiang took a look at the various strange items in the box, as well as the several talkative palace maids beside him.
I gradually understood what Fu Yao wanted to do.
She wasn't surprised at all. Instead, she picked up the spoon and took another sip of porridge. It was so delicious that she couldn't help but squint her eyes. Then she asked, "Did His Majesty tell me if I can go out?"
For a moment, Sun Jinlu almost thought that Jiang Jiang already knew that she was being kept under house arrest in the side hall, but seeing her calm and composed appearance, it seemed that she didn't. "I can't..."
He felt guilty even when he said this. He thought he would have to spend more time talking, and even have to ask the emperor to explain if necessary. However, he didn't expect that the other party would just nod in understanding and continue to eat.
It was as if things like this were not as important as the snack in front of her.
Sun Jinlu: “......?” He is so bold.
...never mind, it's okay to be careless.
