Jiang Jingyue felt that there was no point in saying anything at this point.
Because at this moment, her hand had already been guided downwards, touching the place that Jiugongting wanted Jiang Jingyue to touch.
At this point, she truly had nowhere to retreat, and there was absolutely no way for her to back down.
"Yuebao, yes, that's it. Be good and take your time."
Jiang Jingyue wanted a quick resolution, but she didn't expect that Jiugongting would ask her to take her time.
At that moment, she didn't want to slow down at all. All she wanted was to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and deal with it as it came if it couldn't be resolved.
Hearing Jiu Gongting breathing heavily, Jiang Jingyue's breathing also became unsteady.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling better? Could you hurry up? I'm not feeling well."
Upon hearing that Jiang Jingyue was not feeling well, Jiugongting immediately slowed down.
He tried to calm his impulse and looked up at Jiang Jingyue.
"Yuebao, what's wrong? Where do you feel unwell? Tell me, and I'll take a look."
Jiang Jingyue pouted and spoke in a pitiful tone.
"Your Majesty, my hands are sore and aching, they hurt so much!"
Hearing Jiang Jingyue say this, Jiugongting could only pull her aside and say something to her.
"Yuebao, just bear with it a little longer, it will be fine in a little while, just wait a little longer."
With a low growl from Jiu Houting, Jiang Jingyue stood up abruptly. However, before she could make a move, Jiu Houting pulled her back down.
He pulled Jiang Jingyue into his arms, then picked up a cloth and gently wiped her hands.
"Yuebao, it's all my fault. I promise I won't do it again next time."
Hearing Jiu Gongting say that, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but glance at him.
"Hmph, Your Majesty is so annoying. I don't want to talk to Your Majesty anymore. I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep."
After Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, she turned away and ignored the emperor.
Perhaps because she was too tired, Jiang Jingyue fell asleep quickly after turning over.
When Jiu Gongting saw that Jiang Jingyue was not moving, he carefully straightened Jiang Jingyue's body a little.
Sure enough, Jiang Jingyue was already asleep.
He looked at Jiang Jingyue, his eyes full of smiles.
The next morning, when Jiang Jingyue woke up, Jiu Gongting was no longer in bed. She slowly got out of bed.
Upon hearing the commotion, the maids outside immediately rushed inside.
He came to Jiang Jingyue's side and said to her.
"Your Majesty, this servant Xiaoju greets you. Your Majesty, please feel free to ask me for anything you need every year."
Upon seeing someone enter, Jiang Jingyue immediately looked at her and asked.
"Where is the Emperor? Where did he go? Why isn't he here?"
Jiang Jingyue looked around in confusion. It was so early, yet the Nine Palaces Court was nowhere to be found.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to the morning court and will be back later. Are you hungry, Your Majesty? I will go and prepare some food for you now."
If Xiaoju hadn't said anything, Jiang Jingyue wouldn't have felt hungry yet, but now that she's mentioned it.
His stomach suddenly started rumbling, and Jiang Jingyue touched his stomach a little embarrassedly.
"Then go and prepare! I am indeed hungry. When the Emperor returns, he can eat with me."
The maid had only been gone a short while when she suddenly ran back in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Consort De and Consort Rou have come to pay their respects to Your Majesty."
Jiang Jingyue sensed that the visitor was up to no good, but she didn't say anything and just nodded.
"Since they're all here, let them in!"
Jiang Jingyue tidied herself up before going out to meet people.
As soon as I stepped outside, I heard people outside making sarcastic and strange noises.
"Oh my, our noble Empress has come out! I thought Your Majesty looked down on us and didn't want to come out."
"Sister, what are you saying? How could Her Majesty the Empress be that kind of person?"
Consort Rou and Consort De usually fought fiercely, but today they were unusually harmonious.
The two of them are united against an outsider, and the person they are targeting is clearly Jiang Jingyue.
After hearing what they said, Jiang Jingyue just smiled and didn't say anything.
Jiang Jingyue slowly walked to the high seat at the front, then sat down and looked at the people below.
"Come, each of you, introduce yourselves to me. Tell me who you are, what your names are, and what your ranks are, so that I can get to know you."
As soon as Jiang Jingyue uttered these words, the expressions of the people standing below turned somewhat unpleasant.
They felt that the Queen's behavior was an insult to them.
So as soon as Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, no one below said a word.
"What, have you all become mute? You were so eloquent just now, how come you can't say a word now that I'm asking you a question?"
"Next time I hear you talking about me so casually, I won't let you off so easily, understand?"
Jiang Jingyue's words were incredibly authoritative, making those below even more afraid to say anything more.
"Alright, let's introduce them one by one from left to right."
In the end, these people explained their positions and such. Jiang Jingyue watched them talk the whole time, and Xiaoju even brought her something to eat.
What followed was Jiang Jingyue eating while looking at the people below and saying...
The people below were in unbearable pain, but they couldn't leave at this time.
Jiang Jingyue only allowed them to leave after everyone had finished their introductions. It has to be said, the emperor had far too many concubines.
Jiang Jingyue said that after listening for so long, she only remembered the two people who spoke at the beginning; she really couldn't remember any of the others.
"Your Majesty, would you like to have your meal now?"
Jiang Jingyue had just eaten a little something to fill her stomach, and she was actually hungry now.
However, Jiugongting had not yet returned, so Jiang Jingyue hesitated for a moment before waving to Xiaoju in front of her.
"Let's wait a little longer. We'll talk about it when the Emperor returns. Have someone go and ask when he will be back."
Hearing Jiang Jingyue say that, Xiaoju shook her head.
"Your Majesty, you must not inquire about the Emperor's whereabouts at will. If the Emperor finds out about this, he will surely blame you."
Jiang Jingyue was unaware of such a rule, but she figured that even if she asked me to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts, the emperor certainly wouldn't say anything.
"Nothing will happen. Send someone to ask the Emperor if anything is wrong. I will take responsibility."
