Jiang Zhili: "..."
It can be seen that the queen really put a lot of thought into it.
"You will soon be my daughter-in-law. I will call you Xiaoli, okay?" The queen put a piece of beef into Jiang Zhili's bowl.
Jiang Zhili nodded, smiling brightly: "Of course, I can. When I saw the queen, I felt very friendly."
When the queen saw her smiling so beautifully, her heart melted. She unconsciously picked up the chopsticks and put a lot of dishes into her bowl.
"Xiao Li, can you eat this raw beef? I just heard that people on the grassland eat it like this," the queen looked at the bowl of bloody raw beef, her expression a little hesitant.
They say people on the grasslands eat raw meat and drink blood, but I don't know if that's true. But looking at Xiao Li's beautiful and slender appearance, it must be fake...
Jiang Zhili shook her head repeatedly: "Your Majesty, we people on the grassland don't eat raw beef."
At least in her original body's memory, she had never seen it.
The queen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly waved her hand to have the plate of raw beef removed.
Jiang Zhili had almost finished eating.
At this time, a eunuch carrying tea walked in from outside the hall. The eunuch lowered his head and walked with a limp, as if he had just been injured.
This is the old eunuch who was just taught a lesson by Jiang Zhili.
When the old eunuch who had been beaten saw the queen coming, he became active.
The Queen Mother hurried over, probably wanting to see the princess. If she saw that she was being lynched, she would definitely think that the princess had a bad temper.
If the Queen doesn't like this grassland princess, then the princess's life in the harem will probably not be easy!
When Jiang Zhili saw the old eunuch limping towards her carrying tea, a sneer gradually appeared on the corner of her lips.
The queen naturally saw it as well, and she frowned.
Where did this lame eunuch come from? He actually ran in at this moment. He was so disabled that if one didn't know, one would think that all the palace maids in Mingyuan were so disabled!
Just as the old eunuch came to the table with tea, he tilted his body and fell to the ground, revealing the bruises on his face.
At this time, Achan also ran in from outside the hall. When she saw the old eunuch had fallen in front of the table, she stopped and there was a trace of anxiety and anger on her face.
They had just taught this damn eunuch a lesson and then threw him into the servants' courtyard. But when this damn eunuch saw the Queen coming, he had some inappropriate thoughts and actually ran to the Queen while they were not paying attention!
If I had known this would happen, I would not have shown mercy and would have killed this eunuch directly.
The old eunuch fell to the ground, his face full of panic, and the next moment he knelt down in a hurry.
He kowtowed frantically on the ground, begging for mercy as he kowtowed: "Princess, spare my life, princess, spare my life, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, please don't kill me, I have just realized my mistake!"
The Queen looked at the wound on the old eunuch's face. She glanced at Jiang Zhili and hesitated, "Aren't you the eunuch guarding the Eastern Palace? How did you become like this?"
Some time ago, after Mo'er drove out all the palace maids from the Eastern Palace, only this old eunuch was left to guard the Eastern Palace.
That's why she had some impression of this old eunuch.
"Yes, the princess said that I was deliberately negligent, so she ordered people to punish me," the old eunuch said hurriedly, fearing that Jiang Zhili would answer first.
Ah Chan, who was standing by, became anxious. She quickly walked to the Queen and knelt down, saying angrily, "Your Majesty, this palace maid treated the Princess very disrespectfully.
The princess was tired from the journey, and he hadn't prepared food or water, but he couldn't even light two more candles in the palace. He also asked us to get used to the palace rules, and spoke to us like a noble lady!
After saying that, Achan kowtowed to the queen several times!
The old eunuch was dissatisfied and said: "When the princess marries into the Eastern Palace, she must abide by the rules of the Eastern Palace, no matter who she is. But the princess was furious after hearing this. Not only did she order people to punish the servants, she also let her followers take over the Eastern Palace.
I hope Her Majesty the Queen will understand!"
He didn't think he had done anything wrong, but rather that he had done the right thing. He believed that the Queen felt the same way.
How can we allow a woman from a foreign race to run wild in the palace and even place our own forces in the East Palace? This is really too much!
When the Queen finds out, she will surely severely punish this foreign princess.
Jiang Zhili looked at the old eunuch, and his smiling eyes turned cold.
The Queen slammed the table and scolded, "How outrageous!"
The old eunuch kneeling on the ground was delighted, thinking that it was worth it for him to come here to file a complaint despite his injured body.
"He is trying to sow discord! Come, drag him away and beat him to death with sticks!" The queen pointed at the old eunuch and spoke in an extremely stern tone.
The surrounding palace maids immediately stepped forward and dragged the old eunuch out of the hall.
The old eunuch was still a little confused. He shouted, "Empress! Empress! You've got the wrong person! It's clearly that foreign princess who wants to dominate the Eastern Palace!"
Ah Chan couldn't bear it any longer, she rushed to the old eunuch and kicked him hard in the heart.
"How dare you! How dare you slander my princess!"
Achan was a woman from the grassland. She rode horses and shot arrows all day long, and her strength had long surpassed that of ordinary eunuchs.
Just one kick made the old eunuch roll his eyes.
The next moment, the Queen's angry voice rang out again: "He's slandering me! I want to rip out his tongue before he's executed!"
The old eunuch was dragged away like this.
There was silence in the hall.
The Queen gently comforted Jiang Zhili, "Xiao Li, don't overthink it. That old eunuch is acting like a lunatic, and I'm afraid he's already ill. Don't worry about it. From now on, you will be in charge of the entire Eastern Palace."
Jiang Zhili sighed, a hint of sadness lingering in his words: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I'm new to the Eastern Palace, so please bear with me."
She was just a weak and helpless prairie princess.
The queen felt extremely distressed and comforted her for a while before hurriedly leaving with her people.
Jiang Zhili took a bath with Achan's help, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
In a daze, her hand, which was placed next to the jade pillow, seemed to touch a soft square object, and she picked it up to take a look.
It was a black purse with a lifelike golden dragon embroidered on it with gold thread, and the embroidery was quite good.
Jiang Zhili thought about it and then opened the purse.
The golden Buddhist beads were from that night...
{Tsk tsk tsk, what a love-sick man!} Duoduo sighed.
Jiang Zhili tied the purse again and put it back in its place.

On the other side, Jizhou.
Yuan Mo had just finished interrogating the captured bandit when a secret guard came in.
"Your Highness, this is a secret report from the East Palace."
Yuan Mo frowned: "Eastern Palace?"
"Yes, the tribal princess entered the East Palace tonight, and the secret guard on duty in the East Palace sent a message over," reminded the secret guard kneeling on the ground.
These past few days, His Highness has been busy suppressing bandits and searching for the woman in the painting. The tribal princess who came to marry into the family has probably been forgotten for a long time.
"Put it down," Yuan Mo frowned and signaled the secret guard to leave.
He looked at the rolled-up secret report on the desk and suddenly felt a headache...
