Chapter 238: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 82
"Ah!" The Queen Mother let out a scream. The scalding hot medicine splashed on her face, burning a large area of her skin red.
Nanny Jiang was horrified and immediately came over with water, carefully wiping the dirt off the empress dowager's face.
After removing the finely applied powder, the empress dowager's aged face was revealed, with spots of varying sizes, wrinkles creeping up the corners of her eyes, and sunken cheeks. Without the embellishment of gorgeous clothes and beautiful ornaments, the empress dowager also revealed the vicissitudes of life commensurate with her age.
The Queen Mother pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were fierce, and she looked quite scary. She was on the verge of exploding.
Ji Yunhuan lowered his head and hid the smile in his eyes.
She could act with the Queen Mother and say some nice words, but it was impossible for her to serve the Queen Mother!
Even her mother was reluctant to let her do these things, so how could the empress dowager have such a big face!
Ji Yunhuan pretended to stand up in a panic, at a loss, with fear in his eyes and looking extremely guilty.
"I'm sorry, Queen Mother. I've never done this at home. I didn't hold it firmly. Let me wipe it for you..."
As Ji Yunhuan spoke, he used his handkerchief to wipe the medicine off the empress dowager's body. Nanny Jiang snorted coldly and handed the copper basin beside her to Ji Yunhuan.
"Your Majesty is clumsy, please don't wipe it. Let me do it. Your Majesty, hold the copper basin and stand here without moving."
Ji Yunhuan really held the copper basin and was very well behaved.
The anger on the Queen Mother's face slowly subsided, as if the Queen was just a little stupid and spoiled, but still obedient.
She sent someone to invite her, but the queen was not happy and got angry, but she still came.
She asked the Queen to take care of her when she was sick. The Queen was too spoiled to do it, but she was still willing to do it.
When a woman gets married, she naturally has to listen to her mother-in-law's teachings, let alone in the palace. Even if Ji Yunhuan is a naughty boy outside, she has to behave herself once she enters the palace.
"If you don't know how to do it, you can learn slowly. It's good that the Queen has this filial piety..."
Before the Queen Mother could finish her words, Ji Yunhuan loosened his grip and a large basin of dirty water mixed with brown medicine was poured onto the Queen Mother.
With a clang, the copper basin fell to the ground. Ji Yunhuan widened his eyes in horror and said incoherently:
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please don't be angry... Please don't chase me away. I still want to serve you well."
The Queen Mother was soaked all over, and the bedding on the bed was also soaked and in a mess.
Ji Yunhuan's eyes were filled with tears and she looked really scared.
Nanny Jiang was almost going crazy. She immediately helped the empress dowager up and ordered people to change the bed sheets and quilts.
The Queen Mother sat on the pearwood chair, took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and forced a smile, "Don't be afraid, I don't blame you, and I won't drive you away, just stay here and serve me well."
The Queen Mother uttered the last few words with gritted teeth. She had already thought of many ideas on how to torture a woman, and she was determined to make sure that Ji Yunhuan would not be able to suffer in silence.
She would never let Ji Yunhuan leave Yongshou Palace easily.
Nanny Jiang helped the empress dowager to the inner room to change her clothes. When she came out, the empress dowager had painted her eyebrows and eyes and dressed up again, looking elegant and imposing.
The Queen Mother waved at Ji Yunhuan and said with a loving smile, "Come here, help me go out for a walk. This room smells like medicine, and I'm really feeling stuffy."
Ji Yunhuan went there happily, while Nanny Jiang stood aside and watched, with no intention of lending a hand.
The Queen Mother had no good intentions and put all her weight on her. If she was really a weak woman, she would definitely be very tired.
Ji Yunhuan helped the empress dowager to the small garden of Yongshou Palace. The garden was full of colorful flowers, all of which were rare varieties.
Defei said that the harem was frugal, but only the emperor's concubines were frugal, while the empress dowager was very good at enjoying life.
The two walked onto the cobblestone path, followed by Qiao Yue, Nanny Jiang and others.
Qiao Yue was anxious and wanted to help the young lady support the empress dowager. The young lady must be tired after supporting the empress dowager for such a long time.
These people are deliberately harassing the young lady, it's really hateful!
She wanted to get closer to the young lady, but was stopped by Nanny Jiang and others, who would not let her go over to help.
Ji Yunhuan felt that the time was right, so he seized the opportunity, turned his body sideways, and let go of the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother slipped and fell unexpectedly into the thorny flowers, hitting her head on the decorative pebbles on the side of the road.
With a bang, blood gushed out, dyeing a bunch of rose buds in the flower bed red.
"Ah! Queen Mother! Queen Mother! Help! Queen Mother, are you okay? Go get the doctor! Quick, quick, quick!"
Nanny Jiang let out a piercing scream, and the entire Yongshou Palace was alarmed and became a scene of chaos and bustle.
After a flurry of activity, the empress dowager sat in the corridor with gauze wrapped on her forehead, looking at the seemingly well-behaved Ji Yunhuan below, and she could no longer pretend to be kind.
Ji Yunhuan clearly did it on purpose. He splashed the medicine on her face, broke the basin, and made her fall.
It seems that without some tricks, this queen will not obey!
Nanny Jiang understood what the Queen Mother meant, stepped forward, and sternly rebuked her, "Queen, you have committed an act of disobedience and injured the Queen Mother's body. Do you know that you are wrong?"
Ji Yunhuan sneered, "Didn't the Queen Mother want me to serve you? I am very filial to the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother is reluctant to let me go and wants to keep me here, I will accompany you to the end."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Ji Yunhuan and said, "The Queen's words and deeds are rude. You can't serve me, and you certainly can't serve the Emperor! I don't need you to take care of me anymore. You should learn the rules in Yongshou Palace. When you have learned them well, you can go out and serve the Emperor."
"You are the queen, you can't just be jealous and monopolize His Majesty. You should recruit more concubines for His Majesty, so that His Majesty can have equal opportunities and have more children sooner."
"I know you are young and have never done this before. I have already drawn up a list, and you can select people to enter the palace according to it. As long as this matter is handled well, I will not pursue today's matter any further."
Ji Yunhuan took the list and took a look at it. The two beauties of the Jiang family were named Consort Xian and Consort Shu. Apart from the daughter of the Jiang family, the rest were women who were related to the Jiang family. All the positions of concubines and matrons were occupied by them.
The person that Princess Rong'an brought in just now was most likely the girl from the Jiang family. She was trapped in the Yongshou Palace, and then a way was found to make Long Lin sleep with the girl from the Jiang family.
They would use any method, including deceiving, drugging, etc. As long as they could sleep with Long Lin, their goal would be achieved.
But this would not be glorious enough, so he had to use her to "introduce" the Jiang family girl to His Majesty, and then she would generously confer the title of concubine on her. The harem would be peaceful and she would have both face and money.
The true intention was exposed, and Ji Yunhuan was too lazy to pretend anymore. She tore up the list and threw it into the mud.
"I don't agree! As long as I am here, none of the people above me will be able to enter the palace. Of course, Queen Mother, you can issue an edict to appoint concubines, but I guarantee that they will not even be able to see His Majesty, let alone receive His Majesty's favor."
"Since ancient times, the eldest son has been respected. People all know that the first wife should give birth to a child before taking a concubine. Otherwise, it will be seen as a sign of chaos in the family and will be despised by others."
"Queen Dowager, please don't use the idea of having an heir to pressure me. I am in good health and will definitely give birth to an heir. I can give birth to a heir myself and I don't need anyone else to help Your Majesty!"
