Chapter 294 The eldest princess fell from the building

"The queen will not return to the palace for another month. Can they be preserved for that long?"

Jiang Chuan carefully picked a bunch: "Our queen has many ways! She said that half of them should be frozen in an ice basin and the other half should be dried and eaten as dried grapes."

"Dried grapes? Is there such a way to eat them?"

"Are you uninformed? I heard that people in Loulan have been eating dried grapes for a long time. Our queen also read about it in a book."

The royal concubine has read quite a lot of books.

The gardeners and fruit craftsmen nodded in conviction, hoping that the queen would return from the summer palace soon.

Xiao Xuanzi said that if they could do the job for the royal concubine well, they would no longer have to be excluded by those people when they return. The queen would be their backer.

In fact, Jiang Xinyue wanted to control the six palaces in the east and west in order to cultivate her own network of people.

The original craftsmen who were already in high positions had changed masters for a long time. Jiang Xinyue wanted new people who knew her from humble beginnings and knew how to be grateful for her help.

Because they knew even more that only by being loyal to the Royal Concubine could they keep their hard-earned glory and wealth.

Jiang Xinyue, who had no idea what was happening in the palace, could not go there at all except for sending a bowl of blood-tonifying soup to Jiuzhou Qingyan every day.

The emperor was poisoned, and no operas could be performed or rehearsed in the palace, let alone laughing, otherwise they would be accused of not caring about the emperor's life and death.

There are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

Concubine Jiang set up a table for playing cards in her garden, and every day she would call Jiang Xinyue and Concubine Ye to play cards. However, there were only three of them, so even if one was missing, the palace maids and eunuchs, no matter how close they were, dared not play cards with the ladies. Concubine Jiang looked

around, but there were really no concubines with whom she had a good relationship, so in the end she could only seek Jiang Xinyue's consent. Could she call Concubine Yu over?

How could Jiang Xinyue, the "Mahjong God", refuse?

It was just the right time to kill Concubine Yu without leaving a single piece of armor, and see if she would dare to go against her in the future?

"The Imperial Concubine..."

Before Concubine Yu came, a palace maid came to report: "The eldest princess and Concubine Cheng had a dispute in Changyuan Pavilion for some reason. The eldest princess... The eldest princess was pushed down the stairs and hit her head. Concubine Yu has already gone to Changyuan Pavilion and had a fight with Concubine Cheng." Is

this okay?

The eldest princess is not such a brainless and impulsive person. It's more like Concubine Yu and Concubine Cheng had a conflict.

"Where is the eldest princess? Is she seriously injured?"

Jiang Xinyue stood up and followed the palace maid who led the way. Concubine Jiang and Concubine Ye thought that they couldn't play cards today, so they followed her and went to Changyuan Pavilion to watch the excitement.

"Concubine Yu! Concubine Yu, stop hitting! Our master's hand injury hasn't healed yet. If you keep hitting, our master's hand will really be disabled."

"I didn't push the princess. She rolled down on her own!"

"You're talking nonsense. You're still a slave even after you put on your master's clothes. What's so good about you that the princess would risk her life to frame you? You're giving yourself too much face." There was

a commotion in the attic of Changyuan Pavilion. During the fight and shove between the two sides, no one knew who pushed Concubine Cheng. She screamed and rolled down the stairs.

Jiang Xinyue just walked down the attic and saw an orange "pumpkin" rolling to her feet.

"Puff!"

"Hahahahahahahaha..."

The arrogant and unbridled laughter came out of Concubine Jiang's throat: "Your Majesty...hahaha oh...I can't do it anymore I really can't do it anymore hahahaha..."

Concubine Ye wanted to hold back her laughter, her mouth was almost bleeding from biting, but Concubine Jiang was like this, she couldn't hold it back and laughed along.

But she was not so arrogant, she lowered her head, her shoulders trembled violently.

Concubine Cheng wore a dress of the same color as the golden pumpkin today, with green branches and leaves on it. Because the stairs were narrow, she hugged her head and curled up her legs, really like a round pumpkin.

Jiang Guipin laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She wiped them with a handkerchief: "Yes...hahaha...sorry, I really, really didn't mean to laugh at you hahaha...but I really couldn't help it."

Yupin stood on the attic and saw Jiang Xinyue with a frown on her face, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Oh no, I'm going to be scolded again."

The masters and servants of the entire Changyuan Pavilion paid their respects to the Imperial Concubine at the same time, and only Cheng Jieyu lay on the ground, groaning, and hadn't recovered yet.

Yupin rushed down the attic and said, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, you came at the right time. Concubine Cheng committed a crime of insubordination. Not only did she bump into me, she also pushed the eldest princess down the stairs, causing her to break her head, bleed and faint. You must take care of the eldest princess! She is too lawless."

She pretended to cry while secretly looking at Jiang Xinyue's expression.

If the eldest princess was really injured so seriously, Yupin would not have the heart to argue with Concubine Cheng here.

But Jiang Xinyue was still furious: "What? Concubine Cheng, how dare you hurt the eldest princess?"

She frowned and said angrily: "Come here, take Concubine Cheng away and give her thirty strokes of the cane. I will report to the emperor and then decide what to do with her afterwards."

"No... I didn't..."

Concubine Cheng just crawled up from the ground and knelt. Before she could defend herself, she was gagged and taken away by the palace servants on Jiang Xinyue's side.

They had the opportunity to avenge the queen.

A few days ago, Concubine Cheng relied on her favor to make things difficult for Changchun Xian Pavilion. She either snatched the desserts they prepared for the queen, or mocked the queen for drinking less tonic soup, and then snatched away the golden soup they had stewed all night, saying that the emperor was in their Jueyue Pavilion and they wanted to take it to Jueyue Pavilion to honor the emperor.

But the queen said that now was not the time to fight her, and asked them to be patient for a few days.

But now they have reached the end of their patience. If they vent all the anger accumulated during this period, Concubine Cheng will probably have to lie in bed for two or three months like Concubine Liu.

Listening to her words that were obviously biased towards her, Yupin suddenly remembered what the eldest princess said: "Empress Zhen is the one who puts interests first. As long as we do not infringe on her interests and even create value for her, we will live better than when the Empress was here. Why are you fighting so hard? Look at the situation clearly. I am your only daughter, and the Emperor cannot give you another child. Won't you still be a concubine in the end? What the Emperor can give you, Empress Zhen can give you more in the future. You listen to me, don't go against Empress Zhen from now on. Look, she has three princes!"

It's not that Yupin looked down on Defei. A timid and cowardly Third Prince might not be a match for Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Princes.

Otherwise, why not listen to your daughter and return to the Imperial Concubine?
