He put on a smile again, a flattering and ingratiating smile:
"It's normal for the princess to feel a little uncomfortable when she first enters the Eastern Palace."
This prairie princess brought so many servants with her, and they could have drowned him with a single spit from each one...
Jiang Zhili put on a hat with a sneer on his face. "Eunuch, as a palace maid, you are a bit arrogant. Although this East Palace is deserted, it is also the prince's palace. How can I allow a palace maid like you to act wildly?"
"Princess, I think this eunuch thinks you came here alone, so he doesn't even look at us. The attitude of a servant is the attitude of the master. It's obvious that Mingyuan is deliberately neglecting us!" Anger appeared on Achan's face.
The princess is loved by everyone on the grassland, but now Mingyuan treats her like this, it's really too much!
Seeing this, the old eunuch had no other thoughts. He begged for mercy again and again: "Princess, please spare my life, please spare my life, it is my fault, it is my fault!"
Jiang Zhili didn't give him a chance. He raised his hand and ordered his servants to gag the man and drag him away to give him a good beating.
The old eunuch was dragged out of the hall, and soon a muffled howling sound was heard, which seemed a little creepy in the dark night.
A strong man walked in from outside the hall and kicked the old eunuch who was being tortured as he passed by.
He knelt before Jiang Zhili and said in a rough voice, "Princess, I just took a look around the East Palace, and there really isn't a single servant here.
The old eunuch was right. There is only one eunuch left guarding this huge East Palace."
"Is Mingyuan going to depose the prince?" Achan blurted out!
They were originally from the grassland, and the one they worshipped and knelt down to was the Wolf Lord. In fact, they did not have much feeling towards Ming Yuan's imperial power, and they did not feel disrespectful when they blurted out these words.
Jiang Zhili raised an eyebrow: "Not really. The Crown Prince just returned from the temple and is probably not used to being served. It's just right that my people can take over the affairs of the Eastern Palace one by one."
In fact, after Yuan Mo returned to the palace, in addition to handling court affairs, he was desperately looking for his sweetheart. The emperor and the empress pressured him to marry, so he drove out all the palace ladies in the East Palace in anger.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the Eastern Palace were all arranged by the Queen. Yuan Mo drove all the palace maids out to vent his frustration.
He was the prince after taking off his robes. He had his responsibilities and was responsible for his people. He had no right to indulge in romantic relationships, but he was unwilling to...
This way.
Achan nodded, agreeing with Jiang Zhili's statement.
"Princess, you are absolutely right. Shall I give the order now so that they can continue as usual on the grassland?"
The fact that there is no one in the East Palace is a good thing for them.
Jiang Zhili curled her lips and said, "Let's go to the main hall first. From now on, that will be my bedroom."
Since Yuan Mo is not here, the main hall belongs to her!
Achan helped Jiang Zhi leave the main hall.
When you push open the door of the main hall, a scent of books mixed with the elegant fragrance of Buddhist scriptures will fill your nose.
The hall is very large, with four bookshelves reaching up to the beams, and a Buddha statue hanging on the wall.
The rest are the futon, wooden fish, incense sticks and desk.
Ah Chan was surprised: "This prince is really a Buddhist monk. In this hall, besides books, there are scriptures and Buddha statues. There is even a wooden fish!"
Jiang Zhili walked into the hall. She walked past the bookshelf and came to a screen where the bed was.
At this time, a servant walked into the palace and said, "Princess, someone from Queen Mingyuan is here."
It is now the Xu hour and is almost the Hai hour. It is unusual for the Queen to come here now.
As soon as the servant finished speaking, the eunuch's shrill voice rang out from outside the palace:
"The Queen has arrived—"
A beautiful middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes hurried in. She had a smile on her face, but her expression could not hide her fatigue.
This is Mingyuan’s queen.
When she saw Jiang Zhili, her beautiful eyes lit up and she smiled, "You are truly worthy of your reputation as the Pearl of the Grassland. I saw your graceful figure before I even entered the palace."
Jiang Zhili bowed and said, "Your Majesty the Queen."
The queen helped her up herself.
"I'm really busy today, so I can't come to greet you in person. I hope you don't mind," the queen said in a gentle tone.
The pretty maidservant beside the empress added at the right moment, "Your Majesty is not feeling well today, and Your Majesty has been watching over him these days. The affairs of the harem are complicated, and Your Majesty has been extremely busy."
The concubines in the harem were not at peace. They were all jumping up and down to serve the emperor and wanted to show their faces at this time. Just at dinner time, some concubines came with food boxes and insisted on seeing the emperor.
The emperor was weak and went to bed after dinner. The empress had to persuade him to leave after much persuasion, and this incident caused him to miss the time to come to the East Palace.
Jiang Zhili nodded to show his understanding.
She had heard that Emperor Mingyuan was in poor health, and judging from the empress's tired face, it was indeed the case.
The Queen looked at the beautiful girl before her and asked, "When I came here just now, I saw many more servants outside the palace. Are they yours?"
"The Wolf Lord was afraid that I would be lonely, so he sent these servants here. There happened to be no palace servants in the Eastern Palace, so I found a job for them. The Eastern Palace will be my home from now on," Jiang Zhili smiled brightly, speaking as if it was a matter of course.
The Queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Very good, very good. You can do whatever makes you happy in the East Palace."
Mo'er's resistance to this marriage was really unfair to the princess. As a woman herself, she understood the pain too well. She still had some friendship with His Majesty, but she was still extremely exhausted.
This prairie pearl married across borders, and not being liked by Mo'er, must have suffered even more. She could only do her best to make the princess's life in the palace more comfortable...
Jiang Zhili had not expected that the queen would be so friendly and indulgent.
She let her servants take over the Eastern Palace directly, which was equivalent to controlling the Eastern Palace. It would be difficult for anyone to accept this.
Who would let a woman from another race control their son's backyard? Unless she had ulterior motives...
Jiang Zhili bowed and said, "Thank you, Queen."
At least for now, the queen is very friendly, so we will just fight back when the enemy comes.
"Get up quickly and don't bow so often. After your wedding with Mo'er, you have to call me mother," the queen personally helped her up.
The princess is bright and beautiful, and just looking at her makes her happy. If Mo'er doesn't like her, then let her be happy!
Jiang Zhili smiled and stood up.
At this time.
Two palace maids hurried in from outside the hall, each holding a food box in their hands.
The queen waved her hand, signaling the palace maid to take the food box to the table and set the dishes.
She pulled Jiang Zhili over and said, "You just entered the palace in the evening, so you must be tired and hungry. When I came here just now, I hurriedly asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some dishes. I don't know if they will suit your taste."
Jiang Zhili looked at the dishes served: beef, mutton, chicken, and duck.
There was even a plate of raw beef!
Jiang Zhili: "..."
[Queen: My daughter-in-law eats raw meat and drinks blood!]
