Chapter 25 Doting
Emperor Xuanwu sat on the round stool, turned around and ignored her.
Jiang Xinyue pouted pitifully, looking like she was about to cry. She knelt on the ground and moved along, two small fists resting on her chin, blinking her big eyes in grievance. Her eyes were full
of tears, much like the little white dog kept beside the swing in Hexi Palace.
Emperor Xuanwu sighed, touched her injured face, lifted her up and put her on his lap: "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Xinyue shook her head quickly. After being treated a little, she immediately stuck to him and smiled obediently: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt... Your Majesty hurts more."
"What does it hurt me?"
"Your Majesty is hurt by the hit on my body!"
She hugged the emperor embarrassedly, resting her forehead against his, and rubbing her nose against the emperor's nose: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I caused you and the noble concubine..."
Her face was blushing: "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I just... I just wanted to vent my anger on Shuangjiang."
She did not deny that she deliberately went to Layue.
"You still don't know where you are wrong."
Emperor Xuanwu turned his head and looked at her seriously: "There are many ways to vent Shuangjiang's anger, but you chose the stupidest one. Layue is just a palace maid. You can obviously deal with her directly, but you hurt yourself at the cost. Are you stupid?"
Jiang Xinyue rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking: If I didn't hurt myself and didn't make you feel distressed, why would you severely punish Concubine Li Guifei's palace maid?
The fate of palace maids is different when they follow different masters.
"There are so many smart concubines in the palace. I have the emperor. I don't need to be so smart. I can be a little stupid... I have the emperor to protect me!"
"You still feel proud, don't you?"
Jiang Xinyue pouted and shook her head: "A little bit!"
Emperor Xuanwu understood. What she meant was that there were so many smart concubines in the palace, but she, who was scolded as stupid, was protected by him. She was already very happy. She was so happy that she didn't mind the emperor scolding her for being stupid.
If he said this to Concubine Li Guifei, she would definitely be sad in her heart. She didn't know how to show her intelligence in private, trying to reverse her image in his mind.
Although he is the emperor, he is not a god after all. He will also compare Concubine Li Guifei with Zhen Ji.
In this regard, he likes Zhen Ji's character more.
She is innocent but a little bit coquettish, kind but not cowardly, sharp but not hurtful. She never hides her little thoughts in front of him. She is cute and adorable, which makes it impossible for people to get angry.
Wang Dequan had received the order long ago, and took the scar removal medicine used by the emperor, and asked Xi Que and Shuang Jiang to apply it to Empress Zhenji. However,
Emperor Xuanwu took the medicine from Xi Que, and applied it to Jiang Xinyue himself without saying a word.
He flicked his fingers lightly, afraid of hurting her, and looked at her from time to time. He blew it after applying it twice. The doting revealed in those eyes that were affectionate even to dogs would make people fall deeply in love with them.
Fortunately... the person being looked at was Jiang Xinyue.
A new type of woman in the 21st century who is determined not to be a love-minded person, but to fight monsters and upgrade to become a favored concubine and live a carefree life.
Emperor, you are no longer a tool for living a good life.
Concubine Li lost such a big face. The next day, she went to the Yikun Palace to pay respects. Everyone was looking forward to Concubine Li and Zhenji... Oh no...
This morning, the emperor issued an edict to confer Zhenji the title of Zhen Fangyi, a fifth-rank concubine, and she jumped a level again. As Jiang Xinyue wished, she did not become a "Zhen Guiji" of the sixth rank.
Pulling each other's hair?
This kind of thing is impossible.
Concubine Li disliked many concubines, and there were many people who taught them a lesson on her behalf.
There is a snow-white puppy in Hexi Palace, only the size of two palms, which is a gift from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Empress Zhen Fangyi for her relocation to the palace.
Jiang Xinyue usually leaves it to the palace servants to take care of, and only holds it in her hands and plays with it when she is interested.
The puppy is very affectionate, especially to its owner. Because it is very cute, Xi Que named it Xiao Ai Jiang.
In the past, when Jiang Xinyue came back from paying respects in Yikun Palace, Xiao Ai Jiang was the first to rush out to greet her.
"Where is Aijiang? Why didn't Aijiang come out?"
Jiang Chuan rushed out of Hexi Palace in a hurry, only to find that his master had returned. He knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, spare my life. I don't know who lured little Aijiang out with food. We are looking for her."
He presented a piece of meat bone he had just picked up at the door. It was gnawed and eaten by little Aijiang.
Jiang Xinyue glanced at the bone: "Aijiang is so young and rarely goes out on weekdays. You can look for her everywhere and ask the nearby palaces." She
only cared about the protector and forgot that the little puppy at home was also in danger.
She bit her lip and felt a little guilty.
Although little Aijiang was a relative, she was very timid and would not easily step out of Hexi Palace.
If someone had coaxed it out, it must be that there were traitors in Hexi Palace. Xiao Ai Jiang Gen trusted the palace maids in Hexi Palace.
Yanqing Palace——
"Ah, ah, ah!"
A shrill scream cut through the sky above the palace. Concubine De frowned and covered the ears of the third prince: "What's going on? What is that monster doing again?"
The eldest palace maid hurried in from outside and said: "Your Majesty, a dead dog was hung at the door of Concubine Su's bedroom. Concubine Su was frightened and fainted."
She looked at it, bloody, miserable, and horrible.
"Dog?"
Defei immediately thought of the little puppy in Hexi Palace, Xiao Aijiang, who was very much loved by the third prince and the second princess: "Who in this palace has a dog?"
Jinyan thought for a while: "There are many people who have cats, but it seems that only Zhen Fangyi has a dog."
Defei pressed her eyebrows: "Who did Zhen Fangyi offend again? Such a cruel method... Alas... Go to Hexi Palace and tell Zhen Fangyi..."
The third prince said that Zhen Fangyi liked Xiao Aijiang very much, which made her sad.
Before Jiang Xinyue came to Yanqing Palace, Emperor Xuanwu and Empress Zhu came first.
It turned out that Concubine Su cried and made a fuss after waking up, insisting that Jiang Xinyue wanted to harm her, and asked the palace maids to invite the Empress to preside over justice.
The emperor was dining in Yikun Palace, and when he heard that the little puppy in Hexi Palace had died tragically and was hung on Concubine Su's door, he came over.
The queen was still there!
Concubine Su threw herself into the emperor's arms and said, "Your Majesty, how did I offend Zhen Fangyi? Ever since I became your favorite, she has always been against me. Now she is doing this. I am really scared, sob, sob, sob..."
Empress Zhu looked down on her pretentious attitude and said coldly, "Concubine Su keeps saying that she blames Zhen Fangyi, but did you see with your own eyes that she hung Xiao Ai Jiang on your door?"
Concubine Su sniffed, raised her head from the emperor's arms, and shook her head again, "Besides her, who else hates me so much?"
"Who hates you?"
Jiang Xinyue hurried over and heard her accusation. She rolled up her sleeves and squatted down angrily, "I pay my respects to the emperor and the empress."
