Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 152: Is it acceptable?
"Jiang Changtian is here, grab him!"
"Take him away!"
The constables swarmed forward and pinned Xian'an down.
Xian An looked completely bewildered. "Hey, hey, hey, I'm not Jiang Changtian! You've arrested the wrong person!"
"Gag him, don't let him shout." A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the head constable.
The person who did it was extremely efficient, silencing Xian'anduo before he could even utter a word.
Seeing this, Madam Qin turned around and went back to her courtyard, closing the door without any sense of guilt.
Xian'an was arrested just like that, humming all the way that he was not Jiang Changtian, but no one could understand him, and he was thrown into the jail.
"Let me out! You've arrested the wrong person! Do you know who I am? How dare you mess with me!" Xian An spat out the rag in his mouth.
"The master specifically instructed us not to be polite to him, but to take all his valuables first. Damn it, at least we can get some scraps out of him."
Several constables stripped Xian'an of all his valuables, leaving him with nothing, not even his outer garment.
Especially when they saw that there were actually twenty taels of silver in his purse, their eyes lit up. How could a poor scholar be so rich?
"Are you deaf? You've arrested the wrong person! I'm not Jiang Changtian! Release me right now, or you'll be in big trouble!" Xian'an pounded on the cell door.
As a result, no one paid attention to him.
"You'd better stay here and save your energy," a young constable muttered in a low voice.
The superiors instructed that there was no need to be polite to Jiang Changtian, but since this young man was a top official, the yamen runners dared not offend him too much.
"Hey! Let me out! Let me out! I'm not Jiang Changtian!"
……
……
Consort Xian, who was dreaming during her afternoon nap, was suddenly awakened.
"Your Majesty, you've risen." The head palace maid, Bihu, heard the noise and drew back the bed curtains.
"Strange, I just dreamt of Xiao Anzi. Could that boy be suffering in Wuyun County?" Consort Xian got up from the bed and let Bihu help her get dressed.
Bihu smiled faintly, "Your Highness and Young Master An are truly of one mind. Young Master An just delivered the gift at breakneck speed, which shows that he is thinking of Your Highness."
"Oh? What did you send? Let me see it!"
No sooner had Consort Xian finished speaking than a eunuch appeared outside, bowing and carrying in a specially made food box.
"Quickly bring it over and open it to see what's inside. This kid actually remembered to send me a gift, it's like the sun rose in the west!" Consort Xian was quite pleased to see the food box.
Why did her nephew suddenly think of sending her something? This is truly unprecedented.
The eunuch opened the specially made food box, from which a slight chill emanated.
There were several bright orange... pears.
"These... pears? I'm not seeing things, am I? This kid actually gave me nine pears?" Consort Xian pointed and counted them one by one.
There are indeed nine.
Nine pears? Could it have some special meaning?
The food box was kept chilled at the bottom, and none of the pears went bad.
"Jiuli, what does he mean by this?" Consort Xian asked Bihu.
Bihu thought for a moment, "This servant guesses that Young Master An simply thinks the pears are delicious and wants to send them to the Imperial Concubine to try?"
Given Young Master An's usual style, this is quite likely.
Consort Xian thought it made sense, and ordered a palace maid to take it down and wash one for her to try.
The palace maid washed it clean, cut it into small pieces, and then presented it.
After a eunuch tested the plum for poison, Consort Xian tasted one piece and then silently ate the whole plum. She then hurriedly called in the palace maid from before and ate another one.
This time, he didn't even cut it; he just picked it up and started eating.
Seeing that Consort Xian still wanted to eat, Bihu reminded her, "Your Highness, eating too much might cause indigestion."
At the same time, I was also surprised; it seemed that the pears really were delicious.
Otherwise, how could the Empress, who is so picky about food, possibly eat two in one go?
There were seven left. Consort Xian kept two for herself, then thought about it and took one more, leaving four.
After thinking it over, he asked someone close to him to deliver it to Guan Suying.
"Your Highness, it's just a few pears. Do you think the Guan family would even want them?" Bihu asked somewhat awkwardly.
Why did the Imperial Concubine suddenly think of bestowing pears?
Pear, separation?
Is this an attempt to persuade someone to remarry?
Pears are one thing, but to give away four? Four pears... this is...
"What kind of talk is this? If I can like something, how could Guan Suying not like it? Send it over quickly and tell the Guan family that I specifically requested it for Guan Suying." Consort Xian urged.
She wouldn't even want to deliver it if it were late. It's good that the boy has a conscience and still remembers his aunt.
Bihu's lips twitched; she wanted to persuade him, but she held back.
The news that Consort Xian of the palace had sent four pears to Guan Suying quickly spread.
Consort Xian is really straightforward. I wonder if the Emperor favors her because she's stupid; she's simply brainless.
I heard that Consort Xian and Guan Suyi were quite close in their younger days, but they stopped seeing each other after Consort Xian entered the palace.
But the sisterly bond still exists, and now that her husband has died, Consort Xian's actions...
Everyone was waiting to see the joke, each with their own agenda.
Emperor Xuanyuan Hongye also heard about it, but did not stop it.
It would be good to have Consort Xian come forward.
After receiving the gifts from Consort Xian, the Guan family fell even more silent.
With a sigh, Madam Guan took the pears to the small Buddhist hall, and then fell ill.
The Guan family frantically summoned the imperial physician, and the news naturally spread.
Inside the small Buddhist hall, Guan Suyi confirmed again and again that this was a gift from Consort Xian.
After the servant answered, he withdrew.
Guan Suying stared at the Buddha statue for a long time, then turned her gaze to the pear, picked it up and started biting into it as if to vent her anger.
The sweet juice flowed down her throat and into her stomach, instantly calming her irritability.
After eating two pears, Guan Suying took the other two and left the small Buddhist hall, arriving at Old Madam Guan's courtyard.
When Madam Lin saw Guan Suying, she was somewhat surprised, thinking that Guan Suying was worried about the old lady. She hurriedly said, "Little sister, why did you come here? The old lady has already been examined by the imperial physician. She has woken up and is fine."
Guan Suying nodded to Madam Lin and sat down directly beside the old lady's bed. "Mother, get up and eat a pear."
"Aunt, what's wrong...?"
Lin was truly puzzled and even somewhat surprised by Guan Suying's actions.
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to worry. The things Consort Xian sent are very good. I've already eaten some. Mother has a cough, and pears are just right for her." Guan Suying said, placing a pear near Madam Guan's lips.
The old lady Guan smelled the sweet aroma and subconsciously took a bite.
“Pears are a cold food, and Mother’s teeth are not good, so she shouldn’t…” Before Madam Lin could stop her, she saw that Old Madam Guan had already eaten them.
Madam Guan was surprised by how soft the porridge was; after eating it, the itching in her throat disappeared.
"It is indeed a good thing. I was just being paranoid. I don't think Consort Xian would do something like kicking someone when they're down."
She thought that Consort Xian had also come to make things difficult for Guan Suyi.
Guan Suying gave the other one to Old Madam Guan as well, saying, "Mother, Tian'er must be alive. Today I will move out of the small Buddhist hall and live with you."
"You..." Old Madam Guan was stunned.
Guan Suying smiled slightly and offered no explanation.
After eating the pear, she suddenly understood. Her son was alive, and she had no regrets. Why should she beg all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens?
Tian'er will definitely come back.
