Chapter 148 Farewell
Jiang Shuyi was awakened by suffocation.
She opened her eyes and saw Pei Yan covering his mouth and nose, her eyes suddenly filled with fear.
Pei Yan immediately let go.
He lowered his eyes with a little scrutiny: "Do you feel suffocated?"
Jiang Shuyi took two deep breaths and looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.
Pei Yan felt that this was the way he should look at her.
Jiang Shuyi sat up and touched Pei Yan's forehead, wondering: "You don't have a fever, what's wrong with your majesty?"
Pei Yan looked at her quietly.
"What's wrong? Did your majesty also have a nightmare?"
As Jiang Shuyi said this, she wanted to rub Pei Yan's head like he did to comfort her, but her wrist was grabbed.
Pei Yan looked at her: "Do you remember when I first favored you?"
How could she forget such an important event? Jiang Shuyi replied, "It was the second day after your majesty's coronation. I said that my father's body was still warm. Would that be a bit bad? Your majesty warned me that if I continued to talk nonsense, I would never receive your grace again. Then your majesty asked me to go. I said that I learned the rules when I first entered the East Palace and had forgotten them a long time ago. I was afraid that I could not serve well. Your majesty said that he would teach me personally, and then..."
With her mouth covered again, Jiang Shuyi looked at Pei Yan innocently.
"It's okay." Pei Yan confirmed that Jiang Shuyi was still Jiang Shuyi and was not possessed by a ghost.
He looked at her with a complicated expression.
What happened in Jiang Shuyi's previous life? Did Jiang Wanqing and Pei Yu kill her? Why did he allow such a thing to happen?
Jiang Shuyi kept asking him what was wrong, chattering on and on. Even though there was concern in her eyes, Pei Yan couldn't stand it.
He asked, "What did you do when you left the palace?"
After these words were spoken, Jiang Shuyi indeed became obedient instantly, but her eyes also dimmed, and that kind of sadness emerged in her eyes again.
Pei Yan felt a little regretful.
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
Now that he knew Jiang Shuyi did not want to leave voluntarily, he could not bear to see her sad.
As for those strange stories about fate...
Pei Yan's face looked a little heavy.
If it is true, he will die in another eleven years. Jiang Shuyi will be only thirty years old at that time. She has no reliable maternal family and her son is suspected of having killed her. How should she live?
Will it be like what was written in the storybook she read some time ago, that a powerful official will come to seize power and force her, the beautiful queen mother, to submit?
Pei Yan will probably die with regrets.
If she gave birth to another child...
Pei Yan rejected it quickly. He could not tolerate Jiang Shuyi going through the gates of hell again. Moreover, the gender of the child was uncertain. Even if he was a prince, he might be as unfilial as Pei Yu.
Jiang Shuyi thought Pei Yan was a little strange and moved closer to look at him.
Pei Yan couldn't help but pinch her face when he saw her like this: "How pitiful."
The hypocritical Wu Jianshan said that the little Taoist boy was pitiful, but Pei Yan only felt that his Jiang Shuyi was the most pitiful.
*
In thirteen days she will leave Pei Yan. Jiang Shuyi really wants to stick to Pei Yan all the time, but he actually lets her go out more often and stay in Zhaoyang Palace at night to play with his new adopted daughter.
Jiang Shuyi wasn't in the mood.
She still stuck to Pei Yan, but since she was about to leave, she also had to give some instructions to her followers.
So she went to the morning meeting again, which was a rare occasion.
Concubine Wu was demoted to a concubine because of Jiang Wanqing's death. She no longer had the arrogance she had before. Concubine Xue did not come. She fell ill a few days ago. I heard that it was because she missed her son so much.
Coincidentally, the eldest prince also fell ill, also because he missed his mother.
Jiang Shuyi arrived late and wanted to listen outside the palace gate to see if anyone would provoke Wangshu and the others. However, she found that this morning meeting was dead silent. Except for Queen Shen who occasionally said a few words, no one spoke.
Yes, now that she is the favored one in the harem, everyone has gotten used to it. She lives in the Qianqing Palace and they have no chance to fight with her, so they have nothing to do.
Jiang Shuyi coughed lightly and walked in.
When everyone saw her, half of their eyes lit up.
Queen Shen naturally didn't brighten up.
She looked over warily: "Why are you here?"
The weasel pays a New Year's visit to the chicken, but he has no good intentions.
The two seats at the top were empty. Jiang Shuyi sat down at the top, which was the seat before Concubine Wu, and looked around the hall provocatively.
"I have nothing to do, so I came to see you sisters. But from what I heard from the Queen, she doesn't want me to come."
Queen Shen has a headache.
"I am about to adjourn the morning meeting. If you want to say anything, just leave it to them."
Jiang Shuyi could see that she didn't want to pay attention to her, but today she had to pay attention to her.
Queen Shen dismissed the morning meeting. Jiang Shuyi gave a look and Miao Wangshu pulled Feng Yiyue to stay. Concubine Rou also noticed it and did not leave either.
Lin Changzai and Jinpin wanted to watch the fun, and Jiang Shuyi skillfully ordered the eunuchs of Kunning Palace: "Go and chase those two tactless people away."
The eunuchs dared not disobey. Concubine Jin had a temper. When she heard that she was not allowed to look, she snorted and turned away. Concubine Lin wanted to continue to see what was going on, but was rudely expelled.
There were no strangers in the hall. Jiang Shuyi looked at them and asked slowly, "Have you suffered any injustice recently?"
Feng Yiyue was the first to shake her head. If Sister Miao had the highest rank in the palace except for the Queen and Concubine Xue, no one could bully them.
Miao Wangshu knew that Feng Yiyue had not been wronged, so he just looked at Roupin inquiringly.
Concubine Rou smiled and said, "Your Majesty knows that I don't like to socialize with others. No one will rush to bully me."
Among these three people, Concubine Rou was the first to join Jiang Shuyi. Although she was gentle and talkative, her inner nature was the most aloof and she liked to be alone. Miao Wangshu first joined Concubine Wu, but could not stand her tyranny, so he switched to Jiang Shuyi.
Feng Yiyue was the last to enter the Eastern Palace and had the lowest family background. She was the stepping stone that the prefect of Jiangnan offered to Pei Yan to show his loyalty. Because she loved to eat and play, and had similar interests to Jiang Shuyi at that time, there was no question of them trying to win her over. The two of them just got along naturally.
No matter in the past or present life, these three people have never let her down.
Jiang Shuyi first looked at Miao Wangshu: "I have just reported to His Majesty that I want to promote you to be a concubine. From now on, you don't have to be inferior to anyone in the harem except the queen."
Miao Wangshu knelt down quickly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your kindness will be remembered in my heart."
"Don't keep it in mind. Just protect them." Jiang Shuyi didn't know what else to say. If she said too much, she was afraid that the secret would be exposed. So she asked Dicui to help Miao Wangshu up, and Feng Yiyue who knelt down followed her.
Jiang Shuyi looked at them for a while and sighed: "Go back, if you encounter any problems, come to me and I will take care of it for you."
All three of them agreed. Feng Yiyue took two steps forward, probably wanting to hug Jiang Shuyi, but because they were in Kunning Palace, she didn't dare to.
Jiang Shuyi smiled, stood up and walked over. Feng Yiyue couldn't help but hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "I miss you so much, you haven't seen me for a long time..."
Jiang Shuyi comforted her, looked at Miao Wangshu and Roupin, and ordered with a smile: "You two come over here too, let's hug each other."
Miao Wangshu was a little hesitant, but seeing Feng Yiyue's expectant face, he still went over.
Concubine Rou doesn't like to hug others, but if the Empress asks her, she won't refuse.
The sunlight slanted into the hall from outside the door, casting the figures of the four people hugging each other on the ground, making them inseparable.
