Chapter 94 The Imperial Concubine Has a Brain Problem
Jiang Shuyi wanted Tuoba Yuer to leave first, so that she wouldn't spread these things as a joke when she returned to Xitian. However, Tuoba Yuer seemed to be very interested in watching other people quarreling. Not only did she not leave, she also pulled her to hide behind the flower trees, as if she wanted to eavesdrop on what was going on.
On the other side, Qian Guiren was very angry: "How can there be such a shameless person like you in the world!"
Zheng Yuezhao looked neither humble nor arrogant, and looked directly at her: "Even if you are His Majesty's concubine, you must be careful with your words. If you continue to insult me without reason, I will have no choice but to ask His Majesty and the Queen for help."
"Insult?" Concubine Wu sneered, "Miss Zheng, just because you are praised for being righteous and eliminating evil, you will think you are a heroine and a chaste woman, right?"
Zheng Yuezhao was a little more respectful to the Imperial Concubine, but not too respectful: "I did get rid of the treacherous villain, and I don't care how others praise or criticize me."
"Why are you pretending to be noble?" Concubine Qian was full of contempt and anger: "If you are really so righteous, why didn't you kill Wen Huan after he and the red waves were raging for so long? Why did you wait until the court was helpless against him before you took action? You are simply..."
"Because I want to live."
Zheng Yuezhao interrupted her coldly: "If I kill Wen Huan in the Wen Mansion, my life will be in danger. I am timid and afraid of death. I didn't die when I was a prostitute, and I didn't die when I was taken over by my enemy. Similarly, I only dare to kill him when I can survive."
Concubine Wu and Concubine Qian were both stunned.
Shouldn't Zheng Yuezhao flatter himself? How could he say he was afraid of death!
They were speechless for a moment. Zheng Yuezhao closed her eyes and said, "No matter what, it was a timid person like me who got rid of the treacherous villains and redressed the grievances of the people and my father. If you two ladies were me, I might not have done better. If you could really do better, I would be grateful, but I can't do it."
She bowed, ignored the two of them, and walked towards Kunning Palace carrying the flower basket.
Concubine Wu reacted and yelled at Zheng Yuezhao to stop. Jiang Shuyi couldn't help it and came out from behind the tree and called her, "My Lady Concubine."
Concubine Wu looked over angrily, and when she saw Tuoba Yu'er beside her, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly guessed her identity from her clothes, and there was hostility in her eyes.
Jiang Shuyi didn't know what she was so excited about.
It's okay that she's nervous, she's afraid of having her favor taken away from her. Concubine Wu doesn't have any favor at all.
After Concubine Qian had finished her greeting, Jiang Shuyi reluctantly knelt before Concubine Wu and interrupted her words that were about to be sarcastic to Tuoba Yuer: "It's hot today, and Concubine Wu is also very angry. Go back and have a cup of cold tea to calm your mind."
Concubine Wu couldn't believe what she heard.
Did Jiang Shuyi think of herself as the queen? How dare you teach her a lesson in this tone!
"Princess Jiang, you know you are going to fall out of favor, so you want to support Princess Xitian to help you win favor, right?"
Concubine Wu felt that she had seen through everything. She laughed coldly and tried to sow discord: "Even if a foreign woman gave birth to a prince, there would be no threat. You have a good plan. You even dare to use the princess."
Tuoba Yu'er was stunned and frightened: "Don't talk nonsense, Concubine, I don't want to enter the palace!"
Jiang Shuyi felt so embarrassed that she shouted to Fang Chu, "Go and tell the Queen to take care of the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine was hit on the head when she was young, so her brain is not very good. She usually doesn't leave the palace. Why is she wandering around today and talking nonsense in front of the princess? It's really a disgrace to Dayuan."
Concubine Wu was so angry that she was shaking all over, while Concubine Qian became intimidated the moment she saw Jiang Shuyi and didn't dare to say a word.
"Jiang Fei, you are so outrageous! You are the one with a problem in your brain!"
Jiang Shuyi ignored Concubine Wu and pulled Tuoba Yu'er back, "Let's go, let's go. Our concubines in Dayuan are actually polite and well-mannered people. Only this one has a brain disease. Your Majesty took pity on her and made her a concubine to take care of her in her old age. But you bumped into her."
Tuoba Yu'er nodded repeatedly, as if she understood, but not quite. Jiang Shuyi could still hear Concubine Wu's angry roar and Fang Chu's voice trying to stop her behind her.

At night, Jiang Shuyi told Pei Yan what happened during the day. When she mentioned that Concubine Wu was so angry that her face turned blue, she laughed and fell into his arms.
Pei Yan looked at her tenderly.
Ever since he was said to have a cold face that day, he has never had a cold face again.
Jiang Shuyi laughed enough, and snuggled up to him and complained: "Your Majesty, why are you so busy these days? You don't even accompany me to paint."
Pei Yan put down his official duties and stroked her cheek: "Are you not having fun with Princess Tuoba?"
Jiang Shuyi: "Well... there's nothing to be happy about. She's not annoying, and I get along well with her. But I mainly want my own portrait."
Pei Yan's lips curled up.
He asked, "How many days will it take to finish the painting?"
Jiang Shuyi thought for a moment and said, "It will probably be only three or four days."
"Then I will accompany you."
Pei Yan wanted to test her, but suddenly realized that he could not bear the consequence of failure.
If Jiang Shuyi was really seduced and wanted to leave him, what should he do?
He couldn't bear to beat her or scold her, so he could at most lock her up and bully her every day. But what's the use? You can lock up a person but not his heart. If she really became like that made-up bird, trembling with fear of him and trying to get close to him to please him, Pei Yan felt that his heart would bleed.
Jiang Shuyi rejected him again.
"Didn't you ask me to accompany you?" Pei Yan maintained a smile on his face.
"That was a few days ago." Jiang Shuyi patted his hands, motioning him to continue touching her, and then smiled and said, "Now the painting is almost finished. If Your Majesty sees it now, the finished painting will not be amazing. It is better to wait until the princess has completely finished the painting, and then I will show it to Your Majesty."
Pei Yan was silent for a moment and said "hmm" softly.

It was time for the final touches. Jiang Shuyi no longer had to sit still. She sat next to Tuoba Yuer and watched her paint on her eyebrows and eyes.
She was eating the plum blossom cake that was newly made in the imperial kitchen. Tuoba Yuer sniffed the aroma and actually asked for some: "I'm hungry, can you feed me one, Madam?"
Jiang Shuyi was not stingy with the cakes and pastries, but apart from Pei Yan and Pei Yu, she had never fed anyone in her two lives.
She was about to ask Fangchu to feed her, but Tuoba Yuer said coquettishly, "I want you to feed me!"
Jiang Shuyi hesitated for a moment, but considering that she had spent more than ten days drawing for her, she pinched a piece and put it into her mouth.
Tuoba Yuer smiled and was about to speak, but Jiang Shuyi covered her mouth with her hands and said nervously, "There are residues in the cakes, don't spit them out and dirty my portrait!"
Tuoba Yuer's shoulders were shaking from laughing. Jiang Shuyi was afraid that she would draw crookedly again, so she simply took away her paintbrush.
"My queen really wants the painting but not the people."
Tuoba Yuer said as she hugged Jiang Shuyi. Seeing her horrified face, she smiled and opened her mouth: "I have already swallowed it. I know that Your Majesty likes to be clean. There is no way I can make Your Majesty dirty."
