My Lady is well

Chapter 22 New Favorite

The Crown Princess glanced at her with a look that said 'I don't want to bother with you', and ignored her provocation with a faint smile.

"It's not time yet. It's hard for Sister Yang to come so early today. I appreciate your kindness to me."

Except for the day after Shen Yueyao entered the East Palace when she came to laugh at the joke early in the morning, she was the last one to come on weekdays.

Yang Li blushed and said angrily.

"My queen, you are too kind. Not everyone deserves your kindness."

The Crown Princess didn't bother to understand her implication and drank her tea calmly.

When they saw Shen Yueyao and Li Ning appear together, they were slightly surprised and each had their own thoughts.

After Shen Yueyao entered the palace, the number of times Li Ning came to pay respects to Changning Palace increased visibly.

The Crown Princess never interfered too much with Li Ning's freedom. She could come to Changning Palace if she wanted to, and not come if she didn't want to.

Even the prince turned a blind eye to her many actions.

When Yang Li saw Shen Yueyao today, he surprisingly did not say anything to make things difficult for her.

Yes, they all used medicine. I guess they knew she wouldn't live for many days, so they saved their words and focused their firepower on dealing with Wen Xueshu.

"Hey, Sister Wen, why are you so late? This is the first time you meet the Crown Princess and all the sisters. This... isn't good, is it?"

It wasn't her fault originally, as these people came early. But after hearing what Yang Li said, she was indeed the last one to arrive.

Wen Xueshu blushed and walked forward to bow deeply to the Crown Princess.

"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess. I am late, please punish me."

The Crown Princess smiled and administered justice.

"According to the rules, it's not too late for you. Sister Wen is so beautiful, Your Highness should be more compassionate to her. Get up."

"Thank you, Princess."

The Crown Princess's words, seemingly unintentional, aroused Yang Li's jealousy to a great extent.

If it was said that the Crown Princess did not mean it, Shen Yueyao was a little skeptical. Song Yuanyi was such a smart person, and what she said must have been well thought out.

Wen Xueshu respectfully offered tea to the Crown Princess, who rewarded her with a jade ruyi as a gift.

This is much more valuable than the bracelet given to Shen Yueyao casually. It is said that this jade ruyi was given by the late empress dowager when she was still alive.

It can be seen that the Crown Princess values ​​her very much. Wen Xueshu is favored by the Queen, so she dare not neglect her.

Shen Yueyao didn't care, but Concubine Yang, although she had a smile on her face, her words were sour.

"Crown Princess, you can't spoil her like this. She will definitely become arrogant in the future."

The four words "being spoiled and becoming arrogant" came out of Yang Li's mouth, and Shen Yueyao and the Crown Princess looked at her at the same time.

This sounds a bit funny, like a drunkard advising others not to drink.

"I think Sister Wen is well-behaved and sensible. These four words definitely have nothing to do with her."

The Crown Princess spoke to ease Wen Xueshu's embarrassment.

Yang Li frowned, not understanding why the Crown Princess would protect her.

"Sister Wen, please accompany me to pay respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow. The Queen Mother always mentions you in front of me, saying that you are a virtuous and kind girl who is a model of the ladies in the capital."

Wen Xueshu said modestly: "Your Majesty is the mother of the country, and you are the role model for women in the world."

"Sister Wen, there is no need to be too modest. Our mother rarely praises others. It is your blessing to be favored by her."

Isn't it a favor? Shen Yueyao has been in the Eastern Palace for so long, let alone being summoned by the Empress, I'm afraid she would be treated like a worn-out shoe.

Shen Yueyao raised her eyes and met Concubine Li's gaze, and Concubine Li smiled and nodded to her.

She chuckled and nodded in response.

Every time she met Concubine Li, she was like an invisible person, not saying a word. Only when the Crown Princess called her name would she respond appropriately.

She is not someone who can be manipulated by others. She can live in peace with Yang Li, so I think she is a capable person.

The few of them chatted for a while. The Crown Princess asked Wen Xueshu what she liked to do on weekdays and whether she read any books. Somehow, the discussion turned to embroidery.

These were beyond Li Ning's comprehension and she found them boring. She glanced at Shen Yueyao and seeing that she didn't say a word, she stood up and left first.

Shen Yueyao didn't want to stay with Wen Xueshu for a long time, nor did she want to talk to Yang Li.

She knew nothing about embroidery and immediately left the group chat.

After the few people left, the Crown Princess calmed down and fixed her eyes on the embroidered handkerchief that she had just discussed with Wen Xueshu.

Shu Xin asked: "Why are Concubine Shen and Concubine Li so close? Could it be..."

The Crown Princess didn't raise her eyelids, but said calmly: "Shen Yueyao doesn't look like someone who would cause trouble, as for Li Ning..."

She thought for a moment and concluded: "...not a big deal."

Shu Xin nodded and looked at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

"This Concubine Wen..."

"Well, it's a hidden danger."

Song Yuanyi came to this conclusion because she noticed that something was wrong with Nanny Cui.

Yesterday, the spy stationed in Chaolu Pavilion reported that he saw Nanny Cui contacting the personal maid that Wen Xueshu brought into the palace.

This was undoubtedly a blow to Song Yuanyi.

Nanny Cui had followed her since she entered the Eastern Palace. She was the nanny who had followed the late empress dowager.

He is an experienced and capable old man in the palace. Song Yuanyi unexpectedly fell in love with this dusty pearl.

He took her in for his own use and entrusted her with important tasks, and helped her do many shady things over the years.

The most important thing is that no one has come to snatch Cheng'an's toys in the past two years, and Song Yuanyi is deeply grateful for this.

She originally wanted to wait until the crown prince ascended the throne and let her leave the palace to retire, but unfortunately...

Shu Xin asked in a low voice: "Crown Princess, what is Madam Cui going to do?"

Song Yuanyi frowned tightly, struggled for a long time, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes were sharp.

"Give it to Zhang Shunde and tell him to be clean and not leave any evidence behind."

Shu Xin lowered her head and responded softly: "I understand."

Nanny Cui rebelled and there is no one to replace her for the time being.

This means that some things will gradually get out of control, which makes Song Yuanyi feel very uneasy.

She covered her lips with a handkerchief and couldn't stop coughing. Shuxin hurried forward, patted her on the back, and helped her breathe more easily.

The bright red color on the azalea embroidered handkerchief is particularly eye-catching.

……

Jin'er walked quickly across the yard and stepped over the threshold, lifting her skirt.

He let out a long sigh, regulated his breathing, walked to the desk and bowed.

"master."

Upon hearing the voice, Shen Yueyao stopped writing, put down her sable-hair brush, and dismissed the people around her.

"Has the matter come to fruition?"

Jin Er nodded and said, "I have been searching the Imperial Hospital for a long time and found a young doctor named Zhou Ziyu. He is talented but not successful. Some old guys above him are suppressing him and he cannot make a name for himself. His family is poor and his four younger brothers, third elder brother and sister all rely on him."

"How much did you give him?"

"One thousand taels. This person is quite smooth in doing things in the palace."

Although Jin'er is harsh in words, she is meticulous and considerate in her work.

Jin Er frowned and said, "Master, Doctor Zhou said that if you add a little bit of this medicine to your food every day, you will become distracted and hallucinate after a while. Over time, you will eventually become crazy. This medicine also has a special feature. Once you drink it, the cause of the disease cannot be found."

madman? !

Shen Yueyao's eyes darkened. He didn't want to kill her, but to turn her into a madman.

Any excessive stimulation could drive her crazy.

In this way, no one will notice that someone has drugged you.

Good job Yang Li! She is quite scheming.

Seeing that she was distracted, Jin'er thought she was afraid of going crazy, so she hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"Fortunately, we discovered it in time and didn't let these evil-minded people succeed."

Shen Yueyao saw that she looked indignant and laughed softly.

"So, be nice to Qiuju. You see, she is very useful."

When Jin'er mentioned Qiuju, her expression softened a lot, and her tone was slightly guilty.

"I have to admit that this time it was all thanks to her, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Shen Yueyao's voice turned cold: "She is still very useful. Go and call her over."

"Yes."

She originally thought that she just needed to avoid Wen Xueshu, but unexpectedly she was almost killed by the villain.

If Yang Li attacks her and finds out after a while that she is not crazy, he will definitely take further action.

Instead of worrying about it, it is better to remove the hidden danger by circumventing it.

Yang Li had the Huizhu incident. Even though he didn't dare to make it public due to her pressure, he certainly lost the support of the people.

Jin'er politely invited Qiuju to Shen Yueyao, and Qiuju smiled at her flattered.

Shen Yueyao didn't bother to be polite with her and gave her orders directly.

"Pay attention to who around Concubine Yang can be recruited for your own use. You need to be meticulous and careful in your work, otherwise... it's better to have nothing than to have something of inferior quality."
