Chapter 29: The Eccentric Emperor vs. the Powerful Minister’s Wife (29)



"One of them robbed a woman in the street, and the other beat his wife in private. It's terrible, really terrible!"

"Our Nanxuan Nation has always advocated for gender equality. The actions of these two brothers simply show that they don't care about women's lives!"

"I'm so happy for Miss Jiang. Luckily she escaped from the sea of ​​fire in time, otherwise she would have lost her life in vain."

The servant was used to examining the situation. Seeing that most of the people watching the excitement were women, he deliberately exaggerated Zhou Huaiqian's behavior to the level of disrespect for women, trying to provoke the women's resentment towards Zhou Huaiqian.

Once women unite, their power is comparable to that of a mighty army!

As expected, the servant's words instantly aroused the women's dissatisfaction with Zhou Huaiqian.

The image Zhou Huaiqian had previously established in everyone's mind collapsed in an instant.

Under the women's gossip and exaggerated ridicule, Zhou Huaiqian was soon labeled as someone who despised imperial power, had no regard for ancestral teachings, was insidious and cunning, and was violent and cruel.

With Zhou Huaiqian as a control group, and Jiang's father's behind-the-scenes manipulation, the rumors of the king seizing his minister's wife gradually disappeared, and Song Wenjing and the Queen Mother became saints who saved the people from dire straits.

That night.

Song Wenjing sneaked into the Jiang Mansion and came to the pavilion where Jiang Jingyu was.

The ceremony of crowning the queen will be held in three days, and he will be able to see her every day then, but these three days feel like a long time to Song Wenjing.

He couldn't control himself from coming to see her, so he simply left the palace.

He still used his lightness skills to sneak into the sky above the pavilion where Jiang Jingyu was, but he just changed the location.

When Song Wenjing arrived at Yaqin Pavilion, Jiang Jingyu was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, taking care of her hair. Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu were counting the hair accessories that Jiang Jingyu would wear in three days.

Jiang Jingyu's makeup and hair at the coronation ceremony were extremely complicated, and the placement of every accessory was extremely particular, and no mistakes could be made.

Ever since the phoenix robe and phoenix crown were sent to the Jiang Mansion by people from the palace, Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu had to check them every once in a while to feel at ease.

This is already the eighteenth time they have counted today.

Jiang Jingyu lifted her long black hair behind her chest, turned her head to look at the two people who were bending over to count carefully, and held her forehead with her hand.

"Two ancestors, have you finished the inventory?"

Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu didn't even bother to raise their heads: "Right away, right away. If you're tired, go to sleep first. I'll finish the inventory right away!"

Jiang Jingyu shook her head helplessly and walked towards the inner room yawning.

Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu straightened up after counting all the hair accessories they would need in three days.

Qiu Shuang pounded her aching waist and said, "Finally, the inventory is done. Let's go see if the young lady has any instructions!"

As they were talking, the two of them walked towards the inner room. When they arrived at the door, they found that Jiang Jingyu was already lying on the bed, and even her breathing had become steady.

Qiu Shuang sighed: "Young lady, you are really generous. You will enter the palace and be crowned queen in three days, but you can still sleep well."

Jiang Jingyu, who was pretending to be asleep: "..."

I don't sleep, my two eyes take turns on guard.

"A lot has happened in the past two days. I'm afraid the young lady is extremely tired. Although she usually seems carefree, she only reports good news and not bad news. Even if she has something on her mind, she won't show it."

Dong Xu looked at Jiang Jingyu lying on the bed with worry in his eyes.

Qiu Shuang nodded and said, "I hope His Majesty will treat Miss well after she enters the palace."

The two maids left the room with their own thoughts.

As soon as the two of them left, Song Wenjing appeared in the room.

The moment he saw Jiang Jingyu, the coldness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an indelible tenderness.

Song Wenjing walked lightly and slowly to the bed.

Just looking at her gives me a sense of peace and tranquility.

When he thought that she would be able to enter the palace in three days and always be by his side, Song Wenjing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

But after thinking about what the two maids had said just now, the smile on his lips faded and his eyes gradually darkened.

There was no one she knew in the palace. What if she got sick from keeping something on her mind?

I don’t know whether she likes the Queen Mother, and whether she is willing to treat the Queen Mother as someone she can confide in, like he does.

Song Wenjing pursed his lips, somewhat worried that Jiang Jingyu would disguise herself as a rose with thorns after entering the palace, not allowing anyone to touch her and not opening her heart to anyone.

Well, since she is close to those two maids, let them go into the palace with her and serve her.

Song Wenjing, who suffers from gynophobia, once again made concessions because of Jiang Jingyu.

Song Wenjing looked at Jiang Jingyu quietly for a moment, then leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.

There are many matters in the Queen's coronation ceremony that require his personal review, so he doesn't have much time to stay here.

Just as Song Wenjing was about to get up, Jiang Jingyu slowly opened her eyes.

The moment he met Jiang Jingyu's gaze, Song Wenjing was startled and stood up straight in a hurry as if he was a thief who had been caught!

A crack appeared on his calm face.

"Ayu, I, I just..."

Song Wenjing explained to her with an embarrassed look on his face, but Jiang Jingyu just turned over and fell asleep again, as if nothing had happened.

"Ayu?"

Song Wenjing called out softly, but received no response from Jiang Jingyu. He breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly. Feeling guilty, he did not dare to stay for long and flew away.

As soon as Song Wenjing left, Jiang Jingyu sat up from the bed.

Finally, the innocent emperor was scared away!

Jiang Jingyu got up from the bed and walked to the desk. She suddenly remembered that a shop in the general's mansion had received a batch of goods three months ago, and the delivery time would be tomorrow. If this deal was successful, the general's mansion's supply channel would be opened up in the future.

Once this channel is opened up, even if Zhou Huaiqian resigns and returns home, he can still make a living by relying on this source of goods.

As long as Zhou Huaiqian lives comfortably, she will feel uncomfortable all over, so she must send someone to stop this batch of goods tonight!

In her previous life, Zhou Huaiqian destroyed her original body's family and swallowed up all the property of the Jiang family. In her new life, she wants to take away everything that belongs to Zhou Huaiqian!

Jiang Jingyu quickly wrote the letter, then opened the door with the envelope she had written.

Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu, who were guarding the door, were startled when they saw her: "Why is the young lady awake again?"

Jiang Jingyu didn't explain to them. She put her index finger to her mouth and blew a whistle. Soon a secret guard appeared in her courtyard.

"What are your wishes, young lady?"

"Take this letter and wait at Qichi Wharf. When you see the caravan, give it to Shopkeeper Tong!"

P.S. Damn, the weekend went by so fast! Tomorrow is another four-day morning routine! I'll update when I have time after classes are over!
