Chapter 241 Weird Fish
"Listen to Concubine De."
Jiang Xinyue's expression relaxed, revealing a harmless smile, and she took Concubine De's arm affectionately: "I still remember when I first entered the palace, Concubine De and the Empress took good care of me. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel that that period was the happiest time for me." Concubine
De didn't feel warm at all for her sudden affection, but her scalp tingled and her body stiffened.
If Jiang Xinyue could see her skin under her clothes, she would see her hair stand up.
Jiang Xinyue, however, seemed to be unaware of Concubine De's resistance, and she held her hand even harder: "Come to think of it, Concubine De, how long has it been since you went to pay homage to the Empress? On the day when the Yikun Palace caught fire, the Empress took my hand and told me about her affairs, saying that she was going to take care of Crown Prince Duanhui and the Second Prince. Concubine De, you have seen the Empress's two children, they must be very cute, right?"
"Bang!"
When mentioning the Empress's two children, Concubine De suddenly pushed Jiang Xinyue onto the table with great force.
But she immediately went to help her: "Royal Concubine! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I... I'm not used to being so close to people, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it."
In the palace, sisters are always judged by their status. What exactly does Jiang Xinyue want to do?
What conspiracy is there to suddenly call her sister?
With her hands on the table, Jiang Xinyue smiled, her expression unclear. When she turned around, her expression had changed. She said coldly, "It's okay. I'm being rude."
She changed her expression faster than turning a page. She was passionate and hard to resist, and then cold and frosty. I didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, Lu Yin came back at this time: "Royal Concubine, Master, the Lotus Garden has been arranged."
De Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Royal Concubine, please."
It was too tiring to confront Jiang Xinyue, because no one could catch her handle, and no one could guess what she would do next. She could only lead by the nose.
This feeling of not being able to control the situation in her own hands made De Fei very uncomfortable.
But at this time, she could only bear it.
Jiang Xinyue held Jiang Chuan's arm and came to the lotus garden under the guidance of Lu Yin.
Just when Jiang Xinyue held Defei's hand, Jiang Chuan had already let "Guo Lai" out of her clothes while Defei was trying not to break free, and asked her to find the same smell of blood that Jiang Chuan had let it smell.
Jiang Xinyue was just stalling for time for "Guo Lai".
Defei's lotus garden was well-maintained. Even the flowers in the lotus pond were white, pink, and green, and they were arranged in an orderly manner, making people feel comfortable and peaceful when looking at them.
Those lotus flowers that were vying for blooming were just like the concubines in the harem who were competing for favor.
Jiang Xinyue reasonably wondered whether Defei raised these flowers, and then imagined that she was the head of the harem and controlled the lives of these "flowers".
"There are fish in this lotus pond!"
Xijue pointed at the lotus pond and said, "Look, your majesty, that fish is really fat. It must be delicious if cooked."
Luyin rolled her eyes speechlessly, "That's a yellow croaker. It's three feet long. The fish glue alone can be sold for three million taels. Can you afford it?"
Xijue glanced at her and said, "I can't afford it, but can you? What's so noble about you?"
Jiang Xinyue also looked down and said, "It's really fat."
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Defei pulled her forward and said, "If you fall in and get hurt, I can't explain to the emperor."
The big and fat yellow croaker, with a pair of weird and lifeless eyes, seemed to be staring at Jiang Xinyue, as if it would break out of the water at any time and jump up to bite her.
But this kind of fish is edible in itself, and what thoughts can fish have of their own? Why is it looking at her with those weird fish eyes?
Jiang Xinyue took two steps back until she could no longer see the fish, then she looked up at the lotus flowers in the pond.
A breeze blew by, and the fragrance of the lotus was elegant and refreshing, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Woof woof woof..."
Where did the dog in Yanqing Palace come from?
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Xiao Xuanzi ran in hurriedly: "Your Majesty! Come here, it sneaked into Yanqing Palace with you."
Defei subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and immediately said to the eunuchs behind her: "Go and catch the dog for the Royal Concubine. If anything goes wrong, I will not forgive you."
Was she afraid that something might happen to Jiang Xinyue's dog, or was she afraid that something she had done would go wrong?
"I'm going too."
Jiang Xinyue looked anxious: "This is the favorite of our Hexi Palace. If anything happens to it, the Fourth Prince will cry to death. Magpie, hurry..."
She gave an order, and Magpie rushed out and ran in the direction led by Jiang Chuan.
Lu Yin didn't understand, but based on the idea that Magpie shouldn't be allowed to enter the territory that it shouldn't enter, she also ran out.
As Jiang Xinyue walked, she observed the expression of Concubine De. She had changed from a normal expression at the beginning to a little panic.
But Jiang Xinyue felt that Concubine De was more and more terrible.
She knew that he was observing her, and the panic expression on her face was deliberately made for her to see.
In her heart, she was still unmoved.
Jiang Xinyue had a feeling that this trip today might be in vain. Concubine De had already figured it out and had swept her tail clean.
"Woof woof woof..."
He came over and barked at a closed door. As the eunuchs chased and blocked him, he jumped into the gap of the window sill and slid in as if he had no bones.
"Come here!"
Xi Que was about to rush in, but was stopped by Lu Yin: "This is where our queen stores fertilizer for flowers. It smells very bad and is very dirty. It's better not to go in, Miss Xi Que."
"I want to bring Lai Lai out."
"You can't go in."
"What if our Lai Lai takes the fertilizer as food and gets diarrhea or something else goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"
"In short, no one can enter or leave this room without the permission of Concubine De."
When Jiang Xinyue and Defei arrived, Xi Que's tone changed and her clever little eyes rolled: "Okay, I won't go in. My queen will be here soon. Let's see what you do..."
After she said she couldn't go in, Lu Yin let down her guard and released her hand that was holding Xi Que.
Little did she know that Xi Que had no martial ethics. While talking, she slipped past her hand.
Before Jiang Xinyue could call her, she heard a scream the moment she pushed the door.
The basket of red soil above her head was tilted by the vibration when the door was pushed. When she went in, the basket of red soil fell down.
The red soil with a fishy smell soaked Xi Que from head to toe, and even the basket of soil covered her head. She looked very pitiful.
At her feet, the snow-white puppy poked its head out of the mud, shook off the mud on its head, and looked at Jiang Xinyue innocently.
Come over: Master, is it dark?
