Chapter 121 Who Knows She Was Reborn
Concubine Jin stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Shuyi.
"What does your maid hold?"
Concubine Jin knew that Concubine Jiang was looking for trouble!
She looked at her personal maid Jinxiu, who knelt down immediately and raised the flower basket in her hand: "It is my fault. I shouldn't have picked the willow branches and flowers in the imperial garden without permission. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Shuyi saw that the flower basket was fresh in style, so she called Fang Chu, "Go, bring the flower basket here, let me have a look."
Fang Chu responded and stepped forward, took the thing from Jinxiu's hand, and handed it back to the empress.
Jiang Shuyi stopped swinging and looked at the swing in her hands. Then she looked at Jinxiu in surprise: "Did you make it up?"
Just as Jinxiu was about to agree, Concubine Jin threw the can down the drain, looked at Jiang Shuyi with a fearless attitude and said, "I made it up. Your Majesty, please punish me if you want!"
The flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden belong to the royal family and according to palace rules they cannot be picked at will. But in fact this rule is not binding. The Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, or favored concubines in the palace can pick them and use them as they please.
Concubine Jin thought that if Jiang Shuyi really wanted to investigate, she would expose the Empress Dowager, the Queen, and Concubine Xue, and deal with them all if she had the guts!
Jiang Shuyi looked at Concubine Jin unhappily. After a long struggle, she still said condescendingly, "Come here and teach me how to weave this flower basket. If you can teach me how to weave today, I will leave it at that. If you can't, I will go to His Majesty and complain that you deliberately damaged the imperial garden."
Concubine Jin stared at Jiang Shuyi with wide eyes, unable to believe that she would actually bring such a trivial matter to the Emperor!
Jiang Shuyi looked at her threateningly: "You don't want to teach?"
Concubine Jin's back teeth were about to break, but she finally gave in again: "...Teach."
*
Concubine Jin didn't expect Concubine Jiang to be so difficult to teach.
The soft willow branches seemed to have turned into iron wires in her hands, and would not bend unyieldingly no matter how she bent them.
If it were someone else, Concubine Jin would have been furious, but Jiang Shuyi was not only stupid, but also had a bad attitude. When she saw that she was showing signs of being annoyed, she stared at her coldly, making her hair stand on end.
It took Jiang Shuyi a full hour to weave something that could barely be recognizable as a basket.
She looked at Concubine Jin who was speechless, and felt a little suffocated, so she threw the basket on the ground.
Concubine Jin wanted to gloat over other people's misfortune but didn't dare to. She glanced at the weird basket and noticed a red object underneath it.
It fell out of Concubine Jiang's sleeve when she threw the flower basket just now.
It looked like a sachet, and the embroidery on the exposed corner was very rough. It was obvious at first glance that it was not an item from the palace, nor was it something that someone as picky as Jiang Shuyi would be interested in.
Then how could such a thing appear on her?
Jinpin suddenly became alert, realizing that she had discovered some secret. She quickly bent down to pick up the red thing under the basket and took it in her hand to examine it carefully.
It turned out to be a lucky bag.
"Give it back to me."
Jiang Shuyi didn't care and reached out to ask her for it.
However, Concubine Jin not only did not give it, but also took two steps back.
Jiang Shuyi glared at her: "Are you rebelling?"
Concubine Jin held the lucky bag in her hand, her eyes suspicious and filled with a bit of excitement that she couldn't suppress: "What is this? Please tell me, Madam, what's in it?"
Jiang Shuyi had never been offended like this before. She looked at Fang Chu with a cold face. Fang Chu understood and immediately stepped forward and snatched the lucky bag from Concubine Jin.
Concubine Jin was caught off guard and her bag was snatched away. She immediately pointed at the lucky bag and shouted, "There's a note inside. I touched it! How could the Imperial Concubine have something like this on her!"
She screamed like a big chicken with its beautiful tail feathers plucked. Jiang Shuyi sneered, but before she could mock her, she took the lucky bag from Fang Chu and touched it casually. She actually felt a foreign object that looked like a note.
The mouth of this lucky bag was sewn shut. She had been carrying it with her since Pei Yan gave it to her, without ever examining it carefully.
Jiang Shuyi also became a little suspicious, so she simply used force to tear open the seam and pour out the contents.
In the cotton mixed with the vanilla leaves, there was actually a narrow piece of crumpled paper.
She unfolded it curiously and saw four words written vertically on it.
Two lives as a human being.
Boom
It was like a bolt from the blue. Jiang Shuyi froze immediately. It was a hot summer day, but she felt a chill from head to toe.
This is not Pei Yan's handwriting...
Who is it? Who knows if she has been reborn? What is the purpose of leaving this note?
"What is it? What is it?"
Jiang Shuyi's head buzzed briefly, and she was brought back to her senses by Concubine Jin's noisy voice.
Concubine Jin wanted to see, but was stopped by Fang Chu, so she could only stretch her neck.
Jiang Shuyi tried to remain calm, slowly stuffed the note back, and then laughed sarcastically, making her tone similar to usual: "Yes, how could this thing from outside the palace be on me? It's really strange, why don't you go to His Majesty and sue me."
Seeing her fearless appearance, Concubine Jin was a little unsure, but she didn't want to let go of this opportunity to threaten Jiang Shuyi, so she asked aggressively: "Your Majesty, don't you want to explain?"
"Who do you think you are? I need to explain to you."
Jiang Shuyi looked at her coldly: "But it doesn't hurt to tell you, this lucky bag was given to me by His Majesty. If you don't believe it, feel free to come to the Qianqing Palace to complain. I'm waiting for you."
Concubine Jin was also a little shaken. Could it really be a gift from His Majesty?
"Princess Jin, you have been extremely insolent today. Kneel here for me and you are not allowed to leave until dark."
Concubine Jin was stunned for a moment. She just asked a few questions!
Jiang Shuyi didn't waste any more words with her. She kicked the flower basket, stood up and left with Fang Chu, leaving only two palace maids to guard Concubine Jin.
Fang Chu noticed that the Empress looked very bad, and felt something was wrong.
Her Majesty is not the type to suffer injustice. If Concubine Jin dares to make Her Majesty angry, She will punish her until she vents her anger.
But today it seemed that it was not just because of Concubine Jin. The Empress's mood was not right since she opened the lucky bag.
To Fang Chu, the Imperial Concubine is now her ancestor, and he has to pay attention to her every frown and smile, so as not to be at a loss for words when His Majesty asks him about it.
She smiled and asked, "Madam, what did the note say? Is it folk slang?"
Jiang Shuyi's hand that was tightly holding the lucky bag froze. After a pause, she said as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing, just a folk auspicious saying."
Fang Chu glanced at the empress and didn't ask any more questions.
After returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Pei Yan had not yet finished handling government affairs.
Jiang Shuyi walked straight to him and gently pulled his sleeve.
Pei Yan said helplessly: "Go to sleep when you are tired of playing, don't disturb me anymore."
Cheng Shouzhong said that if you don't want to see the empress, you can go to the imperial study. It is obvious that she is not happy if she is far away, and she is not happy if she is too close. She is really hard to serve.
Jiang Shuyi snorted softly, walked behind him, and stretched out her hand to massage his shoulders and back: "I know your majesty is working hard, I will not bother your majesty, I will help your majesty feel comfortable."
Pei Yan was a little surprised.
Jiang Shuyi has already pinched it.
She had never served anyone before, so her technique was unfamiliar and the massage was not very comfortable.
But Pei Yan didn't mind these, as long as she stopped making trouble for the time being.
He actually didn't want to chase her away.
Pei Yan was reviewing the memorials while Jiang Shuyi kneaded his shoulders like she was kneading dough. After thinking for a long time, she asked casually, "Where did your Majesty get the lucky bag you gave me last time?"
