Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Concubine Xu immediately looked at Nanny Wang and gave her a harsh look.

Nanny Wang stepped forward quickly and said, "Madam, if you want to show your filial piety, go to the small Buddhist temple in Changning Palace and copy a few Buddhist scriptures to pray for the Concubine Dowager."

"Yes, yes!" Concubine Xu immediately agreed.

"I also want to serve the Concubine Dowager personally." Ji Chuhe looked disappointed.

"Madam, the Queen Mother has servants like us around her. Besides, we can't let you do these rough jobs. Just go and copy the Buddhist scriptures!" Nanny Wang no longer spoke in such a beating heart.

She now realized that when dealing with Ji Chuhe, she had to be straightforward.

"Okay, then I will go to the Buddhist temple to copy Buddhist scriptures." Ji Chuhe nodded in agreement.

Nanny Wang immediately took her out.

As soon as Ji Chuhe left, Concubine Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

She really hates people like Ji Chuhe who have no sense of boundaries!

Ji Chuhe walked into the Buddhist hall and looked around. The hall was just a single room with several Buddha statues on the incense table and a low table next to it with a pile of scriptures, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

It seems that he was well prepared.

"Madam, pray for the Queen Mother. If you are sincere, your prayer will be answered. You can leave the temple only when you finish copying these Buddhist scriptures."

"It may take three days to copy all these scriptures! Madam, you can't stay in this small Buddhist temple for three days, right?" Mianzhu asked with a frown.

"This is the only way to show the sincerity of the Crown Prince's wife! My nephew's wife even went to pay homage to her seriously ill mother-in-law, kneeling every step of the way in order to let her mother-in-law get well soon!"

Mianzhu wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Ji Chuhe's look.

"What Nanny Wang said is true. I also hope that Her Majesty the Dowager Concubine can recover soon, so if you are sincere, I will definitely copy the scriptures here carefully." Ji Chuhe's attitude was sincere.

"Madam, please remember that the scriptures can only be copied by one person, otherwise they will not be effective."

"Of course." Ji Chuhe nodded with a smile.

Nanny Wang left contentedly.

Ji Chuhe walked to the table and sat down, casually opening a scripture and reading it.

Mianzhu also flipped through the pages quickly, "Miss, I just said three days is not enough. There are so many pages. You can't finish copying them in seven days! Your hands will be broken!"

"Hands are not that fragile." Ji Chuhe put down the scripture and picked up the pen beside him. "Don't be idle. Grind the ink."

Mianzhu helped to grind the ink with a mask of pain on his face.

"Miss, Concubine Xu must be pretending to be sick. She deliberately kept you here so that she could take advantage of the opportunity to attack you. The princess doesn't agree to your staying, so why are you willing to stay?"

Ji Chuhe looked around and found no one, then he slowly spoke: "Haven't you heard that you can't get a tiger cub without risking it? If I hadn't come to Changning Palace, how could I have found out the true situation in Changning Palace? There are hundreds of taels of silver in expenses every month, and accumulated over a long period of time, it is not a small amount."

She was worried that this money would be closely related to the execution of the entire royal family.

When she first married into the palace, she only wanted to gain a firm foothold and make her life as comfortable as possible. However, in just a short period of time, the attitude of the prince and princess towards her made her think a little differently.

She wanted to find out why the entire royal family was executed in the previous life, so as to help the royal family avoid this disaster.

They copied for two hours straight, and it was already completely dark, but no one had brought them food.

"Miss, it's already past mealtime, why hasn't anyone come to bring us food?"

"No problem. The food has been so good lately. I'll skip a meal to clean my stomach. Medical books say that fasting occasionally can make your body healthier."

Seeing that the young lady was in such a good mood, Mianzhu stopped complaining.

Ji Chuhe copied for a while and then stood up to stretch his muscles.

"Let's stop here for tonight. We're going to rest."

"Okay, miss, I'll push the table aside first, and we'll sleep against the wall later. It will be warmer this way."

After tidying up, Ji Chuhe lay down.

Mianzhu also lay down beside her.

Mianzhu wanted to speak several times but held back.

Doesn’t the lady know whether she is hungry or aggrieved?

Just when she thought the young lady had fallen asleep, her voice suddenly rang out.

"Mianzhu, keep an eye on him tomorrow to see if the court doctor comes to Changning Palace. If he does, invite him to the Buddhist temple to see me."

"Miss, what if the court doctor doesn't come?"

"Then after noon, find a way to get him out of Changning Palace and invite him to come see me."

"Okay!" Mianzhu answered firmly.

She didn't believe that the young lady would allow Concubine Xu to torture her!

The next morning, still no one brought him food, so Ji Chuhe continued to copy Buddhist scriptures.

While Concubine Xu was eating a sumptuous breakfast, she couldn't help but look towards the Buddhist temple.

"Madame Wang, is there no movement in the Buddhist hall? She has been hungry for two meals. I don't believe she can still keep calm."

"Madam Dowager, I just went to see Ji Chuhe quietly copying Buddhist scriptures."

Concubine Xu put down her chopsticks angrily, feeling extremely depressed!

Dealing with Ji Chuhe is like kicking cotton!

Ji Chuhe was clearly suffering, but she didn't feel good at all!

"Okay! Isn't she a tough girl? I will keep her hungry and see how long she can stay hungry!"

Just after breakfast, the court physician came and took Concubine Xu's pulse as usual.

Concubine Xu was used to pretending to be sick. Once people got older, they would be diagnosed with some minor ailments. Even if she was pretending, as long as she insisted on feeling pain here and there, the court doctors would be helpless.

All along, the princess has turned a blind eye.

The court doctor did not dare to prescribe random medicines and only prescribed some tonic herbs.

This time, after taking the pulse, the court physician was stopped by Mianzhu before he even left Changning Palace.

"Doctor Zhang, I am a first-class maidservant beside the Crown Prince's wife. The lady would like you to go over and learn about the condition of the Concubine Dowager."

"Okay, please lead the way, girl."

Mianzhu brought Doctor Zhang to the small Buddhist temple.

Ji Chuhe was sitting at the desk, still copying scriptures, and Doctor Zhang immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Meet Madam."

"Dr. Zhang, there's no need to be polite. Please take a seat." Ji Chuhe put down her pen, raised her hand, and motioned for Dr. Zhang to sit opposite her.

Doctor Zhang put down his medicine box and sat down.

"Doctor Zhang, please write out the prescription for the Concubine Dowager so that I can have a look."

"Yes, ma'am." Doctor Zhang picked up the pen and wrote down the prescription.

"It seems that the Queen Concubine has excessive internal heat. These are all herbs for clearing and nourishing."

"Madam, do you also know medicine?"

"I know a little bit." Ji Chuhe said, picked up the pen and wrote a new prescription, "Doctor Zhang, what do you think of my prescription?"

Doctor Zhang frowned just by seeing the Coptis chinensis.

"This... To be honest with you, Madam, I'm afraid that the Concubine Dowager will not take this medicine."

"Good medicine tastes bitter. Since Her Majesty is ill, she must be given the right medicine in order to recover. Could it be that a patient can be picky and choose and eat whatever she wants? What does Doctor Zhang think?" Ji Chuhe asked indifferently. Although her voice was light, it carried a hint of majesty that could not be ignored.

"I understand." Doctor Zhang immediately expressed his opinion.

The palace is now managed by the Crown Prince's wife, so naturally he listens to her.
