After the palace servants saw off the eyesore, the old nanny finally entered the hall.
Without the Empress's permission, she ordered the palace maids to throw away the stool that Princess Xiangyun had just sat on and the teacup she had drunk from!
The beaded curtain was lifted, revealing the Empress's ashen face behind it.
"Your Majesty, this old servant has already sent someone to escort the princess out of the palace, and I believe there will be no further problems."
"Yes, all of you may leave. I will take a short nap."
The Empress waved her hand, signaling everyone around her to step back.
Only the female official was left behind, as she had important matters to be instructed.
She had never seen such an rude and shameless woman in her entire life!
"Chunhe, go to the East Palace and deliver some tonics there. Also, visit the young princess on my behalf and find out about the reactions of those in the East Palace who received the smallpox vaccination."
"Yes, ma'am."
Chunhe instantly understood the Empress's concerns, immediately accepted the task, and respectfully withdrew from the Phoenix Palace...
Jiang Yue's journey out of the palace was not going smoothly.
She was stopped by many palace servants who said that a noble lady had invited her.
It's clear they are different influential people.
These palace servants were divided into several factions, and they were talking animatedly.
Suddenly, something was stuffed into her sleeve—a soft, fluffy lump.
Yes, it was her father-in-law who often read her imperial edicts!
The other person gave her a look, signaling her to keep quiet.
Um?
Jiang Yueming realized what was happening and put the things in her sleeve into her system space.
Then, under the Empress's decree, they were able to leave the palace without incident.
They still rode in the soft sedan chair from the East Palace, leisurely returning to the third son's house.
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her return.
"Mother, why did it take so long? We thought Her Majesty the Empress would invite us to stay for a meal."
Qingsong joked, and then someone pinched the soft flesh between his ears.
"You brat, do you think the Empress is stingy?"
Jiang Yue twisted the second son's ear, gently applying force, and then burst into a tirade of curses.
As it turns out, there was still a tacit understanding between mother and son. Qingsong's ears weren't hurting that much, and besides, his mother's hint was strong enough, so he immediately got into character:
"Ouch—"
"It hurts so much!"
"Mom, I was just saying that, I won't do it again next time!"
"Look, Her Majesty the Empress is so generous! She gave me one hundred taels of gold as a consultation fee!"
"Tomorrow, Yueyue will come to the palace with me. We'll vaccinate the Empress and everyone in the Phoenix Palace with smallpox!"
"Okay, sure~"
Wang Yueyue was also perceptive and noticed that Aunt Jiang and her brother-in-law were acting in concert. It didn't matter if she didn't understand, the important thing was to follow the script!
"Mom, are you hungry? Come inside, let's eat!"
"Ugh, I'm starving!"
"Mom, let me give you a back massage~"
"Get lost!"
......
He secretly monitored the entire family, recorded the information, and then placed it on a pigeon's leg.
"Coo coo~"
The pigeon flew away, while the others continued to monitor the situation.
The dining room was crowded and noisy.
Although they are from the Wu family, people's hearts cannot withstand suspicion.
Jiang Yue only ate her food and did not take out the things that the eunuch Xuan had given her.
After lunch, she pretended to be sleepy and went back to her room for a nap...
After returning to her room and closing the doors and windows, Jiang Yue took out her items from the system space.
Bright yellow, an imperial edict?
After reading the contents, hmm~
That's interesting.
Later, she would give this to the third brother to see his attitude.
Meanwhile, His Highness the Crown Prince also learned from his informants about the confrontation between Princess Xiangyun and his mother after Princess Xiangyun entered the palace.
Well, he was somewhat surprised.
In his memory, Princess Xiangyun was a woman who knew how to behave properly; how could she be as vulgar as the informant had described?
Could it be that this princess is hiding her true abilities?
It must be, otherwise, the contrast wouldn't be so stark.
It seems that it was his son, Wu Qingyun, who orchestrated this from behind the scenes.
Yes, once he ascends the throne, he will definitely remember the other party's merit!
More or less, Baili Youqin imagined a scene...
Therefore, when the Empress's female attendant came to visit the young princess, at the Crown Prince's behest, the palace maid naturally defended Princess Xiangyun's version of events...
Before getting vaccinated against smallpox, you need to fast for a day.
When getting vaccinated against smallpox, a sharp knife is used to make a deep incision on the arm.
Yes, there will be bloodletting, a lot of blood, but what's a little blood if it's for getting vaccinated against smallpox and avoiding smallpox infection?
Symptoms after smallpox vaccination~
Yes, it can cause dizziness, loss of appetite, high fever, and...
It varies from person to person.
The female officials took notes and asked three or four people indirectly, and that's roughly how it was.
One last question, Princess Xiangyun, how much silver did you receive?
I didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince had bestowed many fine things upon Princess Xiangyun.
The female official was completely relieved; as long as it was true.
We can't just accept the Empress's gold; people who don't know better might think we're trying to extort her.
Regardless, Princess Xiangyun saved the lives of everyone in Yaoyue Palace.
Everyone in the Inviting Moon Palace was extremely grateful.
......
On this day, many ordinary people, as well as wealthy merchants and prominent families in Jinling, were vaccinated against smallpox.
Of course, there are still many families raising money, and those who are waiting and watching have not yet taken any action.
However, just from the sight of boxes of gold and silver jewelry being moved into the yard, making it completely blocked, Jiang Yue couldn't deduce that this deal was actually quite profitable.
Qingyun had taken leave, but his colleagues and superiors were relentlessly sending him messages.
The reason for this is obvious; it's all for the sake of their master.
He is currently officially the Crown Prince's man, and since the Crown Prince is listening to him, he returned all the posts without hesitation.
But when his mother handed him a bright yellow imperial edict, he was depressed.
The mother and son stayed in the study for a long time, until dinner time when everyone came to invite them, and they temporarily stopped their "conspiracy".
Yes, a conspiracy.
He returned the imperial edict to his mother and entrusted it to her for safekeeping.
Even the contents of this decree are now somewhat confusing to him.
"Let's go eat."
Jiang Yue put the imperial edict into her sleeve, which was actually a way of putting it into her system space.
Just kidding, if this thing gets stolen or lost, it'll be a huge problem.
"Um."
As expected of his mother, he can still eat it.
Qingyun felt a chill on his neck and wondered if he could still keep his head.
"Qingyun, His Highness the Crown Prince has bestowed many fine things upon you. Your mother doesn't need them. I'll pick out a few for you later, and you can send them to the Xu family for Miaoyun."
"But this is a gift from His Highness the Crown Prince to Mother."
"Foolish girl! Since I've given her to you, I can do whatever I want with her. Miaoyun isn't an outsider. When you get married, I'll invite His Highness the Crown Prince to our wedding feast!"
"Mother, His Highness the Crown Prince is very busy with official duties, how could he have time? No, Mother, it's still a long way off before Miaoyun and I get married."
"What do you mean 'early'? I can't wait to hold my grandson! I don't care, I must see you and Miaoyun get married next spring!"
"Mother~"
"Are you going or not?"
"Go on, Mom, calm down~"
"That's right, that's right, third brother, what did you do to make Mother angry?"
"Second brother, I know I was wrong. I'll offer Mother a cup of tea instead of wine."
"Hmph~"
......
The guards on the roof listened, their ears a little sore, but they felt there was nothing wrong with it, so they didn't write it down.
The master said to record important conversations and send them by carrier pigeon...
