They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.
Chapter 38: Aunt Lu Apologies
The next morning, Jiang Wanyue sat up from the bed, covering her head.
"What kind of wine is so strong?"
Xiuchun came in with some sobering soup.
"The steward of the kitchen came to apologize early in the morning, saying that he had taken the wrong wine. The jar we drank yesterday was not the one you kept, but the one that belonged to the prince."
Jiang Wanyue rolled her eyes.
"How could you get this wrong?"
She took the small cup from Xiuchun, drank the sobering soup in one gulp, let out a long breath, and finally felt a little more sober.
"I was saying that I can drink a lot, but how come I get drunk after drinking so little?"
Xiuchun put the empty bowl aside with a serious expression.
"No matter how much you can drink, you must never drink like this again. You said a lot of drunken words last night. Fortunately, I was the only one there at the time. If someone else heard it, it would be a disaster!"
Jiang Wanyue paused while stretching.
"What did I say?"
Xiuchun pursed her lips and said, "You said you have died once."
When Jiang Wanyue heard this, she felt as if the blood in her body stopped flowing.
She froze completely.
Xiuchun looked at her.
"Miss, is it because of the eldest son of the Lin family?"
Jiang Wanyue blinked.
"what?"
"You drank so much yesterday, was it because you met Master Lin during the day and felt bad?"
Xiuchun thought about it all night and this was the most likely possibility.
Jiang Wanyue smiled bitterly.
"It's not what you think... Lin Shuyan... That's all in the past. I don't have him in my heart anymore."
Xiuchun frowned.
Jiang Wanyue sighed, got out of bed and put on her shoes.
"Now I just want my family to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Apart from that, I don't want to think about love. I finally got Prince Jing to trust me a little more. I can't make a mistake at this time!"
Xiuchun pursed her lips.
"You're right."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and pinched Xiuchun's cheek.
"Okay! Don't worry. If you keep frowning like that, you'll become an old lady. Are the others awake? Give them some hangover soup too! Let them take a day off today, just treat it as a holiday."
Jiang Wanyue washed herself, changed her clothes, combed her hair into a simple bun, and had a few mouthfuls of porridge for breakfast.
Just after finishing eating, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Then I saw a familiar figure walking into the courtyard.
"I am here on the orders of the princess to kowtow and apologize to Aunt Jiang."
It’s Aunt Lu!
Jiang Wanyue was surprised.
Nanny Lu was wearing a plain cloth dress without any jewelry. After she walked into the yard, she knelt down in the yard and shouted loudly.
"This is all my fault, please forgive me, Aunt Jiang!"
After shouting, she kowtowed three times in a row.
Jiang Wanyue's face changed.
She walked to the door of the room, looked at Nanny Lu crawling on the ground, and took a deep breath.
"Madam, please get up. It was just a quarrel. I don't take it seriously. Why are you acting like this? Xiuchun, go and help Madam up."
Xiuchun went over to help Nanny Lu as she was told.
But Nanny Lu refused to get up.
"If my aunt refuses to forgive me, I will die on my knees here!"
Jiang Wanyue almost laughed out of anger.
He made such a big fuss just to let outsiders see how arrogant he is. He even doesn't care about the princess's wet nurse.
He wants to tarnish his own reputation!
How can this be considered a sincere admission of mistake?
Her face suddenly darkened.
"In that case, then continue kneeling. When you remember, stand up again. Xiuchun, open the gate and let everyone in the mansion come and have a look."
Xiuchun immediately ran towards the courtyard gate.
Nanny Lu didn't expect Jiang Wanyue to say that, and her face froze.
Squeak!
The gate of the courtyard was completely open, and a few figures peeking out could be vaguely seen outside.
A faint sound reached her ears, and Madam Lu felt uncomfortable all over.
She always felt that the servants were laughing at her behind her back...
Thinking of this, she didn't care about her face and got up from the ground.
Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows, with a half-smile on her face.
"Please tell the princess that I drank too much yesterday and I still have a headache, so I won't go to pay my respects. Xiuchun, show the guest out."
Nanny Lu came suddenly and left suddenly.
She originally wanted to embarrass Jiang Wanyue and also wanted to take the opportunity to ruin Jiang Wanyue's reputation.
Making the princess's wet nurse kneel down and apologize, if this matter were to spread, outsiders would definitely think that Jiang Wanyue was arrogant and domineering.
But she didn't expect Jiang Wanyue to not follow her routine at all.
She doesn't care about fame at all!
There was nothing to care about in the first place. She now positioned herself as Prince Jing's favorite concubine, not the principal wife. Why did she need a reputation for being virtuous?
As for whether this matter would reach Prince Jing's ears...
Prince Jing wouldn't care about these little things.
Jiang Wanyue stood at the door for a while, waiting for Xiuchun to come back, before going inside.
"What is Madam Lu doing? If you want to apologize, then apologize sincerely. It looks like I'm bowing to you, but in reality I'm still not convinced. If you're really stubborn, then don't come! I really don't understand."
Xiuchun could not understand what Nanny Lu was thinking at all.
Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"There's nothing to be confused about. It's obvious that she didn't mean to apologize."
Xiuchun opened her eyes slightly.
"You mean, the princess asked her to come?"
"Yes, but not entirely." Jiang Wanyue crossed her arms. "The princess is not that soft-hearted. She used to control the concubines in the palace so strictly. How could she change her nature all of a sudden? That's her wet nurse."
According to what Jiang Wanyue thought yesterday, when the princess came back and found out about this, she would most likely pretend not to know, and at most would give her a verbal warning when paying her respects as a warning.
I didn’t expect the princess to ask Nanny Lu to come and apologize... This is obviously not the princess’ style.
Xiuchun thought about it and looked suddenly enlightened.
"It's the prince!"
