Chapter 27 Jiang Shuyi picked up a vase and threw it at Wen Yao
Jiang Shuyi finally couldn't hold back and cried again while hugging Pei Yan.
Pei Yan did not comfort her any more, and let her vent her grievances of the past few days. When she was tired of crying and hugged him tightly and sobbed weakly, he patted her back and whispered to comfort her: "Go to sleep, I will accompany you."
Jiang Shuyi was surrounded by a familiar breath. She cried and said "hmm", then sobbed and begged, "Your Majesty, can you hold me like this and sleep?"
Pei Yan leaned against the head of the bed, and Jiang Shuyi lay in his arms. She could sleep like this, but Pei Yan couldn't.
His hands were on Jiang Shuyi's waist and back, and he could feel her soft and fragrant body rising and falling slightly. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from crying.
"good."
Pei Yan agreed to her in a gentle tone.
Jiang Shuyi finally felt relieved and closed her eyes with trembling wet eyelashes.
A rare good night's sleep.
In her dream, she vaguely felt that she was being moved away from the warm embrace. She hummed uneasily, and immediately heard a familiar voice in her ears: "I didn't leave. My arm is numb from being pillowed by you. Lie down and hug you."
Jiang Shuyi then relaxed and continued to sleep.
The next day, when Jiang Shuyi woke up, she reached around as usual, but when she didn't touch anything, she woke up immediately with a startle.
Fearing that everything that happened yesterday was just a dream, she sat up in a panic and saw a green jade dragon pendant placed on the embroidered pillow on the outside.
Not a dream.
"Yuzhu! Yuzhu!"
Yuzhu heard the queen's urgent call and hurried in from the outside: "What do you want, queen?"
Jiang Shuyi asked her, "Where is His Majesty?"
"His Majesty has gone to court, and he has told us not to wake you up."
Yuzhu saw the jade pendant in the queen's hand and smiled: "His Majesty said that if the queen holds this jade pendant, she can see him anytime she wants, and she doesn't have to hide and cry alone anymore."
Jiang Shuyi's eyes trembled slightly as she stroked the green dragon jade pendant in her hand. She felt that the depression that had been lingering in her heart for many days had finally dissipated completely, just like the dew outside the window being dried by the morning light.

This morning meeting was a bit lively.
Jiang Shuyi arrived late and just happened to see Lin Changzai covering her face and kneeling on the ground crying.
And in front of her was Wen Yao, whose face was as cold as frost.
"What's going on?"
When Jiang Shuyi is in a good mood, she likes to meddle in other people's business, especially when Wen Yao is involved.
As soon as she came in, everyone in the hall, except Concubine Wu and Concubine Xue, stood up to greet her.
Jiang Shuyi also perfunctorily greeted Wu Xue and the others. She glanced at Lin Changzai's red and swollen left face and exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on? Is the Queen punishing someone again?"
The Queen didn't come out at all. Concubine Xue smiled and continued, "Sister Jiang, you came at the right time. This incident today was caused by you. Why don't you go and try to reconcile Concubine Wen and Concubine Lin?"
Jiang Shuyi looked at Wen Yao thoughtfully after hearing this: "Oh, so it was Concubine Wen who beat her."
Wen Yao raised her cold eyes and looked at Jiang Shuyi: "Mrs. Lin is so rude and dares to speculate on the emperor's intentions. I will teach her a lesson for the sake of the royal family's dignity."
Her eyes looked like she wanted to bite Jiang Shuyi.
Jiang Shuyi had never been offended like this in her life. She immediately laughed out of anger: "Noble Lady Wen is so arrogant. She hasn't even become a mistress yet, but she is just a noble lady and she is the boss in the harem and is teaching people a lesson."
There was a flash of contempt in Wen Yao's eyes.
The position of the mistress is nothing. If she wants, it would be easy for her to enter the palace as a noble concubine.
At this time, Lin Chang cried and said, "Madam Concubine Jiang, please understand! I did not speculate on the emperor's intentions! It was Concubine Wen who said at the morning meeting yesterday that His Majesty would continue to summon her to sleep with him, but it turned out that it was you who slept with him last night. I was just curious, so I asked Concubine Wen why His Majesty suddenly changed his mind and didn't want to go to her anymore, and then I was slapped by Concubine Wen!"
"How dare you talk nonsense."
Wen Yao looked at Lin Changzai coldly and said, "When did I ever say that His Majesty would summon me to sleep with him? You are making up stories out of thin air. I will definitely drag you in front of my aunt today and punish you."
Lin Changzai was so scared that she crawled on her knees towards Jiang Shuyi, kowtowed and cried, "I really didn't say anything nonsense. Yesterday, the Queen asked Concubine Wen to persuade His Majesty to stay away from you, and Concubine Wen promised to persuade him at night. Doesn't this mean that she will sleep with you? Everyone heard it, and I didn't say a single word falsely!"
Queen Shen just came out and heard Lin Chang's words, and her eyelids twitched.
Jiang Shuyi was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.
Fortunately, she had occupied Pei Yan yesterday, otherwise Wen Yao would have conspired with the Queen and would have said something bad about her in front of Pei Yan.
What if Pei Yan believed it...
Jiang Shuyi felt frightened and even more angry when she thought about it.
"The Queen is here!"
Following the eunuch's call, everyone stood up and saluted. Jiang Shuyi was angry and stood there staring at her without even bending her knees.
Empress Shen acted as if she hadn't seen her. She sat down on the phoenix chair, asked all the concubines to excuse themselves, and then scolded Concubine Lin who was still kneeling on the ground: "Concubine Lin, what are you still kneeling for? Go back to your seat!"
There was such a loud noise here just now, it's impossible that the Queen didn't hear it. The fact that she didn't say a word about it means that she wants to keep things quiet.
But Lin Changzai just couldn't understand.
She continued to cry: "Noble Lady Wen didn't let me get up, how dare I get up! Noble Lady Wen will complain to the Empress Dowager! Qiu Da Ying was beaten to death because she angered the Empress Dowager, I don't want to die! My legs are weak now, I can't even stand up, please, Empress..."
"shut up!"
Queen Shen felt a headache after hearing this and angrily scolded: "I didn't even ask a question, why are you chattering on and on!"
Jiang Shuyi was equally angry: "Lin Changzai has been wronged. As the head of the six palaces, does the Queen still want to shut people up?"
Empress Shen acted as if she hadn't heard anything, and said to Concubine Lin, "Noble Wen has a gentle personality, and she would not attack you for no reason. You must have done something wrong first, so go and apologize to Noble Wen. With me here, the matter will be over, and if anyone brings it up again, I will not let them off easily."
"Is Lady Wen gentle and kind?"
Jiang Shuyi was ignored and felt choked up. She sneered and continued, "She just said that she wanted to manage the harem for you, the queen, and teach the concubines a lesson!"
Wen Yao clenched her five fingers and stared at Jiang Shuyi.
Queen Shen did not play dumb this time and looked at Wen Yao seriously: "Lady Wen, is there such a thing?"
Wen Yao calmed down, stood up, and answered as respectfully as possible: "I have no intention of overstepping my authority. Please don't listen to my instigation, Your Majesty."
Feng Yiyue couldn't help it any longer, and regardless of Miao Zhaoyi's attempts to stop her, she stood up angrily: "Who are you calling a villain?"
Queen Shen angrily shouted, “How outrageous!”
"I said Concubine Jiang is a villain."
After Wen Yao said this calmly, the hall suddenly became silent, with only a few sounds of people gasping for air.
Queen Shen frowned: "Noble Lady Wen."
"The war at the border continues, and Your Majesty is worried and distressed. Concubine Jiang is living a life of luxury, not caring about the country and the people. Instead, she pretends to be sick to gain favor and deceives the emperor, adding to Your Majesty's worries. How can she not be a villain?"
All the concubines looked at Jiang Shuyi, waiting for her reaction.
Jiang Shuyi took two breaths in anger, looked around, picked up a celadon vase from Kunning Palace and threw it at Wen Yao.
