Chapter 85: Surprise
If Zhenpin heard what he said today and told him, he might not believe it.
A woman's jealousy is sometimes more terrible than a poisonous snake. He would suspect that Zhenpin deliberately exaggerated because she was jealous that he liked Shufei more.
Of course, in today's world, even if Zhenpin deliberately exaggerated Shufei's intentions, he would still think that the jealous Zhenpin is very cute.
But these words were not said by Zhenpin, but by Wang Dequan, the confidant eunuch who had been serving him since childhood.
Zhenpin has only been in the palace for a year, and her foundation is still shallow. She does not have the ability to command the eunuchs.
And in this palace, except for him, the emperor, no one can privately order Wang Dequan to do anything.
Zhenpin, this silly girl, was worried that he would be sad and upset, and afraid that his self-esteem would be frustrated, so she asked Wang Dequan not to tell him.
So, was she going to face it alone and swallow the bitter fruit when she was persecuted by Shufei?
No one had ever thought about him like this, even the former Shufei just gave him everything she thought was good, and never asked him what he wanted? Would it hurt his self-esteem?
Zhenpin really took him seriously, and was afraid that he would be sad, so how could he let her be wronged again and again because of Shufei?
Shufei must be taught a lesson, and the Queen Mother must also understand that their wolfish ambitions have nowhere to hide.
Want him to pardon the Wu family, dream on!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
In Hexi Palace, Jiang Xinyue, who had been playing tricks on Concubine Shu in front of the emperor without leaving any trace, was selecting the new fabrics from the clothing department. Jiang Chuan ran in breathlessly, "Your Majesty, your servant..."
All the women in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at him. He glanced at Jiang Xinyue who was measuring the size, and quickly lowered his head.
It was obvious that he had something important to do and it was inconvenient for outsiders to be present.
Fang Rumeng wrote down the dimensions of Concubine Zhen, and bowed with a tactful look, saying, "I have already collected the drawings drawn by Concubine Zhen. I will send them to you when they are finished."
Jiang Xinyue also glanced at the two female historians behind her, and deliberately raised her status and said, "I have always been very confident in the work of Ms. Fang. Thank you for your trouble."
"Your Majesty, I don't deserve a thank you. This is what I should do."
The two exchanged glances, and after confirming that their feelings for each other had not changed and that they were still good friends who supported each other, Fang Rumeng and the other two female historians were sent out of Hexi Palace by Shuangjiang.
As soon as Shuangjiang turned around, the smiles on the two female historians' faces disappeared.
"Hmph! Some flatterers are just good at scheming. I wonder what backdoors they used? They made Zhang Siyi and Hong Zhangyi happy in the Clothing Department, and they even made Concubine Zhen look at them differently when they came out. I'm afraid that soon, the head of our Clothing Department will have to change his surname to Fang."
"Isn't it? She even wants to curry favor with the maids in Hexi Palace, which shows that she is restless. Maybe she is hoping to meet the emperor in Concubine Zhen's palace and rise to the top in one step!"
Fang Rumeng turned around and looked at the two with a smile: "Yes! If I become the head of the Siyi Department, the first thing I will do is to beat you two to death. If I become the emperor's concubine, the first thing I will do is to take you two to be maids and torture you day and night." People
in this palace speak in a roundabout way. Even if they think so in their hearts, they will never say it so clearly.
Fang Rumeng's straightforward and almost naked malice surprised and frightened the two female historians, fearing that she would really sit in a high position one day and deal with them as she said.
"You...you are simply...you..."
"Yes, I am unreasonable, I will never let go of any grudge. If you two say bad things about me again in the future, you should stay away from me. Like you said, I came in through the back door."
The back door means that she has a backstage, and they dare to say such things to her face with a backstage. They are really stupid.
The two ladies shrank back and lowered their heads, not daring to look Fang Rumeng in the eye.
Concubine Su has disappeared in the palace. As time went by, the people in the palace only knew that she had some connections, but they didn't know who was behind her.
"Your Majesty..."
When Frost returned to the hall, he heard Jiang Xinyue's slightly surprised voice saying, "Are you telling the truth?"
Jiang Chuan nodded solemnly, "Your Majesty, I saw it with my own eyes. I dug out the residue and took it to the Imperial Hospital for Doctor Yan to check. It's indeed..."
Jiang Xinyue tapped the table unconsciously with her index finger. The urgent sound was particularly harsh in the silence, and Frost became nervous for no reason.
"The palace maids in Changxin Palace are managed by Xia He, and they are not as lax as they were when Lu Yue was in power. How come you saw it when no one else saw it?"
Jiang Chuan's heart was pounding from the beginning. He ran back to report to his master, and his fiery heart was soaked by a basin of cold water. After settling down his somewhat anxious emotions, he slowly spoke: "Then what does the queen mean... we do nothing?"
That would be a pity. What if it was true?
Concubine Li Gui hated Concubine Zhen the most in the harem, except for the queen.
If she was allowed to... would her queen still have a good life?
"No!"
Jiang Xinyue shook her head, stopped moving her index finger, looked up at the bright spring light outside the window, stood up and said: "Xi Que, Shuang Jiang, go to the room and get out the new paper iris that I made. The Empress Shufei was injured because of me. I will go to Jingren Palace in person to apologize to the Empress Shufei."
By the way, ask her, the spring light is infinite, does she want to go to Yu Garden to watch her release paper irises?
Pregnant women cannot lie in their uterus for a long time. Proper exercise will not harm their bodies.
It was May, and the weather was neither cold nor hot. Jiang Xinyue wore a bean green cheongsam. The whole person was like a new sprout of the new year, fresh and tender. She had the coquettishness of a girl, but also a three-point charm, which was very beautiful.
When Concubine Shu saw her in Jingren Palace, the veins on her forehead were throbbing.
Last night, the emperor stayed alone in Chengqian Palace. Concubine Shu sent someone to invite him but was refused. She didn't sleep well all night. There were dark circles under her eyes. Even powder couldn't completely cover the marks.
Jiang Xinyue pretended not to see her tiredness and saluted with a smile on her face: "Your concubine greets Concubine Shu."
It was Concubine Shu herself who asked people to come to Jingren Palace to chat. She could only force herself to cheer up: "Sister Zhenpin, please don't be polite. What's the matter today? Sister Zhenpin is willing to come to my Jingren Palace?"
Jiang Xinyue looked at the gauze wrapped around her neck with some apology: "Before, I was weak and didn't dare to come to Jingren Palace. I was afraid that I would pass on my illness to Sister Shufei. I caused the queen to be injured, so I deserve to be compensated."
