Chapter 31 Visiting
Although some of the palace maids in Xihe Hall were dismissed, some of them stayed, all of whom had served Jiang Xinyue.
Zhen Guiren was kind to others, never set overly strict rules for the palace maids, and could joke with the servants. He was an extremely good master.
But Jiang Shunyi had his eyes on the top of his head and did not regard the servants as human beings.
He was especially harsh on the old servants in Xihe Hall.
Several palace maids and eunuchs who had some relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked at each other, and none of them told Jiang Shunyi that Zhen Guiren went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs today to ask for something and got it.
They also wanted to see how funny Jiang Shunyi would look with a black face after being slapped in the face tomorrow.
After Emperor Xuanwu fed Concubine Li porridge, he told her to have a good rest.
There were already a lot of memorials piled up in Chengqian Palace, and he had to deal with them quickly.
After all, she had just woken up from a coma, and the emperor didn't want to be here, and he wanted Concubine Li to cheer up and talk to him.
"Your Majesty..."
After seeing Emperor Xuanwu off, Xia He walked back to Concubine Li's bed and reported their victory: "The emperor demoted Zhen Fangyi to a noble lady and sent her to the cold palace." Concubine
Li stood up and walked to the bronze mirror. She felt that the cotton cloth wrapped around her forehead was very unsightly, so she raised her hand and pulled it off.
The wound on her forehead was not serious at all, just a small cut. After applying medicine for two days, it was almost healed.
The redness and swelling around it looked scary, but it was just a superficial wound.
"Madam!"
Xia He was so scared that she quickly wrapped her forehead again. She looked around and saw that there were no palace maids nearby before she said, "Madam, Doctor Xu said that the fake wound he made would heal at the speed of ordinary people. You can't go off the silk for a month, otherwise it will be a disaster if the emperor finds out."
It turned out that the terrible wound on her forehead was fake.
Concubine Li held her forehead in frustration and said, "In order to get rid of that bastard, I was hurt. I will never let her off so easily."
There was a lot of resentment in her words. Xia He could imagine how sad the noble lady would be in the cold palace in the future.
Jiang Xinyue, who was having a "sad" life, lay on the concubine's chair and sat under the grape trellis in the cold palace to bask in the sun.
Xiao Xuanzi said that this grape trellis has been here for a long time and it even produced grapes in the summer. The nearby palace maids and eunuchs all knew that the grapes here were sweet and often came to pick them in the summer.
Jiang Xinyue lamented that she came at the wrong time and should have been sent to the cold palace earlier, so that she could also eat freshly picked grapes.
But at that time, she had not left a deep impression on the emperor and was not liked by the emperor. If she was sent to the cold palace, it would be difficult for her to get out.
Thinking of this, it didn't seem so regretful that she didn't get to eat the grapes.
The warm autumn sun was very comfortable. The magpie was pinching her shoulders. She was so lazy that she was about to fall asleep.
"Empress Jiang Shunyi, you can't go in without the Queen Mother's order."
Jiang Shunyi is here?
She really can't wait to see her own joke!
Xiao Xuanzi couldn't stop Jiang Shunyi. Jiang Xinyue closed her eyes, and suddenly a shadow appeared on her head. She opened her eyes as if she had sensed something, and saw a disgusting face.
She stretched her body, slowly stood up from the imperial concubine's chair, and squatted down perfunctorily as if she had no bones: "Greetings to Empress Jiang Shunyi."
After that, she sat down again.
Jiang Shunyi's personal maid Mu Tan widened her eyes: "How dare you! You are just a little noble, our master didn't ask you to get up, how dare you get up by yourself?"
Jiang Xinyue looked up lazily, with a look of disdain: "I am still a noble! Did you, a little maid, bow to me when you saw me?"
Mu Tan felt a little guilty when she looked at her, and Jiang Xinyue chuckled again: "When you point one finger at me, don't forget that there are three fingers pointing at yourself. Jiang Shunyi wanted to show off here, just say it directly, why do you need to find so many excuses?" In
the huge cold palace, Jiang Xinyue occupied the best room, the one facing the sun, with the door wide open, and Jiang Shunyi could see the furnishings in a corner.
It was not much worse than her own palace.
Jiang Shunyi stood, looking down at Jiang Xinyue: "It seems that the noble lady is living well in the cold palace, but I, as her elder sister, am too worried."
She waved to the little palace maid behind her: "I was afraid that my sister would not be able to eat her favorite water chestnut cake here, so I specially asked the kitchen to make it. Try it and see if it still tastes the same as before?"
What original taste, current taste?
A cake has only one taste. Jiang Shunyi is just using the cake to poke her heart again.
It is implied that she is not as noble as before, down and out, and even the kitchen is not attentive to her. Naturally, the taste of the cake is not as exquisite as when she was Zhen Fangyi.
He came to the cold palace to give her cakes for no reason, like a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken, with bad intentions.
"What? Sister, you don't want to accept my kindness, don't you want to try it?"
There were two eunuchs behind her, rolling up their sleeves and eager to try, as if they would grab her head and force it into her mouth if she didn't eat it.
That's not pretty.
After watching Jiang Xinyue eat the cakes with his own eyes, Jiang Shunyi smiled wickedly, and seemed to be in a good mood, carrying the food box, and swaggered out of the cold palace.
Seeing that the water chestnut cake seemed delicious, Xi Que said to her master: "Master, can I have a piece?"
"Pah!"
The hand that was stretched out was slapped. Xi Que's eyes widened and blinked: "Master?"
Jiang Xinyue turned the plate of cakes upside down on the small table and closed her eyes.
There are so many people in the harem who want her life!
A mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth. Xi Que screamed in fear: "Master! Master! Eunuch Xuan, go find the imperial physician, go find the imperial physician!"
The severe pain in her abdomen made Jiang Xinyue sweat on her forehead. She grabbed Xi Que's hand tightly: "No... don't go to the imperial hospital, go... go to Yikun Palace to find the empress, go quickly!"
She pushed Xi Que, made a bitter face, and spit out another big mouthful of blood.
The master didn't let her eat it because she knew the pastries were poisonous.
Xi Que was crying, and she turned around and ran out of the cold palace. Xiao Xuanzi didn't stop her, but used Jiang Xinyue's own handkerchief to catch the blood she spat out, and then stuffed the handkerchief into her hand, watching for a while. No matter who came, seeing Master Zhen like this, they would be more sympathetic.
Jiang Xinyue, who was leaning on the imperial concubine chair, had fainted. Jiang
Shunyi, who had already returned to Xihe Hall, couldn't help laughing a few times when she thought about the laxative in the water chestnut cake that could torture Jiang Xinyue to a haggard look.
Mu Tan brought her a bowl of hot goat milk and said, "My lady, I have asked someone to watch the gate of the cold palace. Soon everyone in the palace will know about the scandal of the precious lady having diarrhea."
"Humph!"
Jiang Shunyi raised her head proudly and said, "If she had not just entered the cold palace and it was not convenient to do anything, I would have given her the Hedinghong."
