When Jiang Yuning saw Dan Ruo coming out, he felt a moment of joy in his heart.
But soon, that bit of joy disappeared without a trace.
Dan Ruo was polite and asked Chunying to help Jiang Yuning up. She said gently, "The Queen asked me to thank Consort Jiang for her kindness, but the Queen is not feeling well and cannot see you today."
Jiang Yuning felt like she was falling into an icy cave. She was so sincere, but the Queen didn't even want to see her. It was clear that she completely rejected her surrender!
What should she do? Jiang Yuning trembled and almost fell down, but fortunately Chunying held her tightly.
Her lips were pale, her eyes were a little dazed, and she forced a smile: "Then I will not disturb the Queen. I hope the Queen will take care of herself."
Dan Ruo saw that Jiang Cairen's face turned pale in an instant, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of strength, like the autumn leaves rustling in the autumn wind, but he still maintained his last dignity.
She sighed inwardly, thinking that she could only blame Concubine Jiang for coming at the wrong time. The Queen was not feeling well and was extremely depressed, so she naturally had no mood to support any newcomer.
She took the box from the little girl beside her, handed it to Jiang Cairen, and whispered, "This is a reward from the Queen."
Her tone was gentle, and there was a hint of pity in her eyes.
This trace of pity instantly pierced Jiang Yuning's heart like a needle.
How could she have fallen to such a state that even a little palace maid could look at her with such pity?
She is the emperor's concubine!
-
Jiang Yuning returned to Ganquan Palace with Chunying in a daze. The sunset was brilliant, but it could not illuminate Jiang Yuning's heart.
Chunying didn't dare to say much. The master was always serious and never listened to his servants.
But Chunying's pity for herself was not enough. Seeing that Jiang Cairen had no future, could it be that her personal maidservant had found one?
She had shed tears countless times at night, lamenting her bad fate of being assigned to serve Jiang Yuning.
As the master and servant were walking, they suddenly saw a line of palace maids coming towards them. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be from the Shangyi Bureau.
Each of them held a tray in their hands. One of the little girls with a round face looked at the clothes on the tray with envy and said with a giggle, "Sister, this dress is so beautiful. I feel happy even holding it."
The oval-faced, slightly older palace maid chuckled upon hearing this. Seeing Funiu acting so foolishly, she said angrily, "Don't let your eyes be glued to your clothes. If you drop them and damage them, you'll be punished by Noble Lady Bai."
The little girl didn't dare to say anything more. She looked ahead and walked uprightly: "Sister, I will walk carefully. Please don't let Noble Lady Bai punish me."
Because they were separated from Jiang Cairen by the shadow of a tree, they did not see Jiang Yuning, and continued to talk and laugh as they walked towards Qixiang Hall.
Jiang Yuning stopped and looked at the backs of the people for a long time.
Clothes, white noble lady.
Even if one didn't deliberately inquire about the news, Bai Susu's favor had already spread throughout the harem.
Jiang Yuning dug her nails into her palms tightly. She had figured out the reason why Emperor Xuan Jing hated her so much through countless recollections.
It’s all because she was wearing the same clothes as Bai Susu!
Instead of reflecting on her own imitation of Bai Susu, she hated Bai Susu.
If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have ended up like this, no.
-
The queen thought about it all night in Changchun Palace, but finally she couldn't bear the endless longing for the emperor, so she got up and wrote a letter of repentance, and sent it to the Yangxin Palace along with the pajamas that had already been prepared for the emperor.
Emperor Xuan Jing never looked at the Queen, in fact, he was also making a bet with the Queen.
Lin Yuling’s matter was just a small matter, but it also showed the Lin family’s ambition.
He wanted to use women to control the emperor and thus preserve the Lin family's wealth and glory.
As for the Queen, Emperor Xuan Jing sneered. What she did was not very good. When her sister made a mistake, she did not take off her hairpin to apologize, but instead hid in Changchun Palace on the pretext of illness. Could it be that she wanted him, the emperor, to submit to her?
I just don’t know what it means!
Emperor Xuan Jing knew that the queen was arrogant, but he would not let the queen's pride override the imperial power.
We must also let the Lin family see the consequences of their delusion of controlling the emperor.
-
The Empress's confession was met with a verbal decree from the Emperor: "Demote Consort Lin to the rank of a concubine, confine her to confinement for a month, and let her reflect on her mistakes."
The queen listened to the oral order quietly and felt relieved.
The emperor did not issue an edict to blame Lin Yuling before, not because he did not want to pursue the matter, but because he was holding his anger in his heart.
Now that we have this oral order, we have let out our anger and the matter is over.
The Queen took a deep breath and leaned forward, touching the ground with her head. "I, your concubine, will take your order and discipline my younger sister. I will control her words and actions and will not let anything like this happen again."
Wang Fuhai saw the Queen finally turn the corner and personally helped her up. She still looked sick and said, "The Emperor is also concerned about your health and has asked me to bring you some tonics. You must take good care of yourself. This palace cannot do without you."
Indeed, the affairs of the six palaces are so complicated. Although the Queen has been ill for some time, things are not completely messed up, but there are still many problems.
This is also one of the reasons why the emperor has been unprepared.
The queen woke up as if from a dream and knew that she could no longer continue to be decadent like this. She was the empress and the emperor needed her, but if she lost her role, how would the emperor treat her?
_
Not many people know about what happens between the emperor and the empress.
However, the news of paying respects to Changchun Palace the next day also spread throughout the six palaces.
At that time, Bai Susu was eating the snow meringue that Deng Sanguan had just made.
Ever since cream was developed by Deng Sanguan, Bai Susu can be said to have discovered a new world. After making puffed snails (actually modern puffs), she asked Deng Sanguan to make snow meringues using glutinous rice flour.
Although there were no Oreos, I found mangoes in the fruit room and mixed them with cream, which I could pretty much recreate.
Emperor Xuan Jing was also deeply surprised when he ate it for the first time. This mango was a tribute from the Governor of Minjiang, who said it was a native product of Taiwan.
When Emperor Xuan Jing saw the greeting letter for the first time, he was not interested in mangoes and replied asking him not to send them.
Unexpectedly, the governor was quite persistent. He wrote a memorial every two weeks, and the content was always the same.
"This is Taiwan's native mango, presented to His Majesty."
Emperor Xuan Jing was so annoyed that he had to accept this local mango.
However, although this thing smells fragrant, Emperor Xuan Jing doesn't like the taste.
I didn't expect Bai Susu to make it into Snow Meringue, which has a unique flavor.
The fruity scent neutralizes the greasiness of the milk cream, just right.
Bai Susu was laughing uncontrollably after hearing the memorial from the Minjiang Governor: "Hahahahahaha, Your Majesty, does he really say the same thing in every memorial? Exactly the same? Hahahahaha."
How could Bai Susu understand the pain of being an emperor? In fact, because some places were too far away from the capital, they were afraid that the memorials would be lost on the way, so to be on the safe side, they would send two identical memorials.
Therefore, there is a high probability that Emperor Xuan Jing saw the same memorial.
Even the Governor of Minjiang was so persistent that he sent not two but seven or eight letters, which was very abnormal.
Ask for the shadow that Emperor Xuan Jing felt when he saw it.
Seeing Bai Susu's gloating smile, Emperor Xuan Jing snorted coldly: "There is milk cream on your lips."
Bai Susuyou fell silent and went to the mirror to check her appearance.
Emperor Xuan Jing smiled, looking at the yellow mango in Xue Meiliang's hand, and thought to himself that next time the Governor of Minjiang came to submit a memorial, he would have to ask him to bring more.
