After everyone left
In the empty and lonely Cining Palace
Only Jiang Meiyu was left standing quietly.
Her graceful figure was particularly eye-catching in the cold palace.
Afterwards, Jiang Meiyu whispered to Aunt Ai, "You go back first and call Yongliu to the Cining Palace."
at the same time
The Queen has just stepped into the Kunning Palace
The anger in my heart erupted like a volcano.
She suddenly raised her foot
He kicked a chair next to him hard and flew away.
The chair drew an arc in the air
Falling heavily to the ground
There was a dull sound.
The Queen's wet nurse heard the noise
Ran over in a hurry.
She looked at the queen anxiously.
He asked with concern, "My Lady, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"
The queen snorted coldly
She gnashed her teeth and said, "Humph! Only today have I truly experienced the powerful tactics of a vixen! That Concubine Yu, I really underestimated her before. I thought she was just a beautiful vase with nothing to show for it, but I didn't expect her to be not only as beautiful as a flower, but also to have a clever and eloquent mouth and a pair of hands that are good at flattering and pleasing others. Now she can actually win the favor of the Empress Dowager so easily. If Your Majesty saw her, I'm afraid he would be completely bewildered and fascinated by her!"
As she spoke, the queen's originally dignified and beautiful face became a little distorted because of anger.
There was a raging fire in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please calm down for now. Don't be so anxious! Even if Concubine Yu is stunningly beautiful and eloquent, so what? She can never surpass you! You are the mother of a country—the Empress! How dare a mere Concubine Yu disobey your will? If you tell her to go east, she will never dare to go west; if you tell her to beat a dog, she will never dare to chase a chicken!"
Nanny advised earnestly
His face was full of flattery.
After hearing what Nanny said
The queen's expression finally eased a little.
The anger in my heart also subsided a lot.
She just nodded slightly
She said in a firm tone, "Madam, you are absolutely right. I am the head of the six palaces, and my status is incomparably noble. How can a mere concubine like her be compared to me? Humph! I have plenty of time and means to slowly deal with her. Let's see how long she can continue to be so arrogant!"
At the same time
Concubine Wen, who was far away in the Yanxi Palace, had a gloomy face at the moment.
She sat at the carved pear wood table
Frowning
She muttered to herself, "I really underestimated this newly arrived Concubine Yu! I thought she was just beautiful, but I never imagined she was so scheming and clever. Not only is she good at reading people's minds, she's also well versed in the art of vying for favor. If she continues like this, she'll become my formidable rival in the future! No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I must come up with a plan to deal with her..."
Tian'er stood aside
After listening to these words
A hint of disdain and dissatisfaction appeared on his face
Then she retorted, "Your Majesty, why are you so afraid of her? You must know that you, Your Majesty, come from a prominent family with a huge and deep-rooted family. And she is just the illegitimate daughter of a mere Minister of Revenue! In terms of family background, how can she be compared with yours? Not to mention the difference in status, her position in the harem is far inferior to yours! Besides, she only has a somewhat seductive look. I really don't know how she could catch the eye of the Empress Dowager. Anyway, from what I have seen, even her elder sister seems to be quite disgusted with her! I dare to assert that in this huge palace, no one will truly like a woman like her. Your Majesty, let's just wait and see!"
As soon as Tian'er finished speaking
I saw Concubine Wen's originally frowned brows gradually relax
A cunning glint flashed in his eyes
A brilliant plan has already come to mind.
Jiang Qimu returned to the West Hall of Chuxiu Palace angrily.
As soon as I entered the door
She raised her hand and slapped her personal maid hard in the face.
"I asked you to find out everything that bitch Jiang Meiyu did, you useless thing! Can't you even do such a small thing? You didn't even know she made such delicious cakes for the Queen Mother!"
Jiang Qimu widened his eyes and questioned angrily.
The maid was beaten to the ground
Covering her red and swollen cheeks
She sobbed, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I did follow your instructions and went to inquire. I only heard that she went to the imperial kitchen to prepare food for the Empress Dowager. I hurried back to report to you."
"Hmph! That little bitch, she usually pretends to be well-behaved and sensible at home, but I didn't expect she even has such a culinary skill. How despicable! From today on, you will immediately send two smart maids to keep an eye on the East Palace. If there is any movement, they must inform me immediately!"
Jiang Qimu put his hands on his hips, his chest heaving violently with anger.
"Yes, I obey your command and will arrange it immediately."
The maid replied tremblingly
Then he wiped his tears with his sleeves
Covering my face that was still burning with pain
He stood up and ran out in a hurry.
This night, the palace seemed exceptionally quiet.
But beneath this tranquility lies a turbulent undercurrent.
The concubines in the palace tossed and turned on their beds
I can't fall asleep
Just because of that woman named Jiang Meiyu.
The name Jiang Meiyu
Like a stone thrown into a calm lake
It caused a huge uproar.
In the past two days
Jiang Meiyu not only cooks by herself
Cook delicious dishes
He even took the trouble to accompany the empress dowager in chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha.
Her gentleness and patience
Completely melted the Queen Mother's heart
The relationship between the two heated up rapidly.
On this day
The sunlight poured into the Cining Palace through the windows.
The Queen Mother smiled and said to Jiang Meiyu who was busy, "Yu'er, the Emperor will be coming to dine later. Don't bother any more. Leave this to Nanny Yu and the others. Go and dress up quickly so you can look your best to welcome the Emperor."
The Queen Mother naturally understood very well
The reason why Jiang Meiyu readily agreed to stay in the Cining Palace
It's just that I want more opportunities to see the emperor.
After all, this kind of thinking
The empress dowager had it too.
She knows the feeling
How could I not know?
But for my stupid son
The Queen Mother was helpless.
now
I can only hope that this smart girl in front of me
Perhaps she could open the emperor's closed heart.
