19, slap in the face

Jiang Bilan was very satisfied when she learned that the Queen Mother had detained Xia Tong in her palace to copy Buddhist scriptures. "The Queen Mother has a way of destroying this foxy arrogance."

There was no movement at the other end of the Qianyuan Hall. Jiang Bilan was sure that the emperor did not dare to confront the Queen Mother because there was a word of filial piety attached to her.

"Even His Majesty doesn't care about her anymore. I think it's only a matter of time before this beauty Xia stays alone in her empty boudoir."

Feng Yuzhen said sincerely that you, a noble concubine, have been alone in an empty house for several years. What does Xia's family mean by just one day?

She didn't dare to poke Jiang Bilan's sore spot. She just felt that today was a great opportunity. She raised a hibiscus face and said: "Your Majesty, your majesty cannot summon Xia Meiren to sleep with you tonight. I feel..."

She practiced not only her appearance, but also the charm skills. In addition, she had obtained a "Jade Girl's Heart Sutra" from the system mall a while ago, so Feng Yuzhen was sure that she could capture the emperor.

When Jiang Bilan saw her eyes moving, how could she not know what this person was planning? She hadn't even come forward yet, so she let Feng Yuzhen take the lead - if His Majesty was really obsessed with her, he would still have a foothold.

What?

Jiang Bilan said calmly: "If you want to go, just go."

How could Feng Yuzhen dare to take this risk? The farce in the Royal Garden had already reduced the emperor's impression of her to a freezing point. If she failed again this time, she might be dragged out and beaten to death with sticks!

If she could enter the Qianyuan Palace by herself, what else would she need help from Concubine Jiang? Feng Yuzhen said sarcastically: "Empress..."

Jiang Bilan was impatient and said, "Okay! I know that you are bent on inviting favors, but you can't be in a hurry right now. We have to wait until His Majesty's concern for Xia has faded, and then we can take advantage of the opportunity and gain immediate success."

Feng Yuzhen knew that she was trying to evade, and she wanted to persuade her a little more, but it was not easy to deal with Concubine Jiang's violent temper, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it.

In Ningshou Palace, Xia Tong was calm and relaxed while copying scriptures. As she expected, Empress Dowager Jiang was a very face-conscious person. Even though she was called to help, tea and snacks were also placed on the table beside her.

Xia Tong copied two pages of scripture, then ate a piece of cake and drank some tea to rest. Anyway, Empress Dowager Jiang just wanted to separate her from the emperor and was not in a hurry, so Xia Tong didn't need to rush.

Empress Dowager Jiang was too lazy to keep an eye on her. Anyway, Ningshou Palace was heavily guarded and not even a fly could fly out. After giving Xia Tong a few words, she went back to her dormitory to take a rest.

Wang Jingyi found an opportunity and secretly came over to talk to Xia Tong, "Sister, you can't blame me for this. It was the imperial concubine who personally came to complain."

It seemed that he was afraid that she might misunderstand.

Xia Tong thought that this was also a villain's heart, but he smiled on his face and said, "The imperial concubine is also seeking her own affairs in her position. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs and has no time to get away. It is only natural that I come to fulfill my filial piety on Your Majesty's behalf."

Wang Jingyi felt that this man was very high-sounding and wore all kinds of high hats on his head.

Quietly curling her lips, she showed her face and said to Xia Tong: "Sister, you have been serving His Majesty for days. I wonder if His Majesty's headwind is getting better?"

As expected, she went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Xia Tong looked at her and said, "My sister has always served the Queen Mother, so why are you concerned about His Majesty's illness?"

Wang Jingyi's face turned red, and she rubbed the corners of her clothes and said, "Sister, I also know that I come from a humble background and my status in the palace is not high. How can I survive if I don't find someone to rely on?"

She was honest and said that Empress Dowager Chiang was just a springboard.

Xia Tong's pen was flying like flying in his hand, and he didn't hesitate to speak, "I think the Queen Mother seems to be quite satisfied with you."

"It's just to see that I serve you well and serve as a slave." Wang Jingyi sighed.

What she did most in Ningshou Palace was to massage Empress Dowager Jiang's legs and shoulders. It was not because of her excellent massage skills, but because Wang Jingyi applied the spiritual spring water on her palms and rubbed it in like essential oil. Empress Dowager Chiang naturally felt that

Feeling refreshed.

But the amount of water produced by Lingquan every day is limited. Wang Jingyi also wants to save some money, but of course she doesn't want to waste it all on the Empress Dowager Jiang - at her age, she will be buried sooner or later, so what's the use of being in good health?

Wang Jingyi thought that she had to become the emperor as soon as possible and give birth to a child as soon as possible, so that she could forget about her job.

She said sarcastically: "The calming tea that the Empress Dowager sent to the Qianyuan Palace was actually made from my family's secret recipe. I wonder if it will be helpful to Your Majesty..."

Of course Xia Tong didn't dare to say that the emperor didn't drink the tea at all. Wouldn't it be unfilial to the Queen Mother if word spread about it?

She just said vaguely: "I'm not sure. It seems to be better, but I don't know more about it."

In the past two months, the emperor's temper has indeed become more tempered than before, and he has not heard of an imperial doctor. Xia Tong can't figure out what's going on - could it be survivor bias, and she didn't see the emperor's headache?

Wang Jingyi was overjoyed when she heard this, thinking that the spiritual spring must have played a role. However, the tea she sent earlier was diluted and could relieve the symptoms, but could not cure them. Now that Xia Tong was away, she took this opportunity to invite a doctor.

Bo Gong, send pure spiritual spring water, if the stubborn disease can be eradicated, prosperity and wealth will be indispensable to her.

But, how to make the emperor accept it? She ran so rashly and couldn't even get close to the emperor. An Ruhai would definitely stop her.

Wang Jingyi's heart moved and she said earnestly to Xia Tong: "Sister, your Majesty must be tired after a hard day's work. Why don't you send some side dishes over so that His Majesty can see your thoughts!"

Xia Tong waved lazily, "Forget it, I can't cook."

They, the young ladies from the royal family, would not touch Yangchun water with their fingers, and the cooked food would be unpalatable to the pigs. Xia Tong did not want to poison the emperor's appetite - only men in romance novels would enjoy pig food.

.

Wang Jingyi said hurriedly: "Sister, you are stupid. It's just a name. Why do you need to do it yourself? There is a small kitchen in the Queen Mother's Palace. You only need to put a few things in the food box. Will Your Majesty care about the real thing?

Who did it?”

Xia Tong looked at her steadily, "You seem to be more anxious than me?"

Wang Jingyi lowered her head with a guilty conscience, "I just think what the Queen Mother did is a little inappropriate, and I want to make up for her, so as not to hurt the relationship between Your Majesty and my sister."

With such a sweet mouth, Xia Tong smiled. Although he knew that Wang Jingyi's purpose may not be simple, it is not a bad thing if he can really cure the emperor's disease - what if it attacks again one day in the future? That wind disease is not

Very annoying.

She nodded lightly towards Wang Jingyi.

Wang Jingyi received the approval and happily went to the small kitchen, where she had already prepared soup and side dishes.

When she arrived in front of Qianyuan Hall with the food box, An Ruhai stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, what are you doing?"

Even though she recognized him as Wang Xuanshi who served the Queen Mother, An Ruhai did not dare to let her in without permission - except for Master Xia.

Wang Jingyi said calmly: "Xia Mei is afraid that your majesty will be hungry, so she specially ordered me to send you a few dishes of appetizing dishes for your majesty to try."

An Ruhai also heard that the two had a long history of friendship. Previously, His Majesty wanted to move the palace for Master Xia, and Master Xia specifically pointed out Roufu Palace to the Wang family.

It seems that this is what Master Xia really meant.

An Ruhai said, "Wait a moment while I go in and ask."

Wang Jingyi had no choice but to stand where she was.

When An Ruhai came out of the inner hall, she hurriedly went forward to greet him, "Father-in-law, has your majesty sent me in?"

An Ruhai smiled and took the food box from her hand, "His Majesty ordered that the things be left behind, and you can go back after choosing the waiter."

Wang Jingyi:......

It seemed that Xia Tong really controlled the emperor tightly, fearing that someone would take advantage of him.

Although she was a little disappointed, the delivery of the things was half the battle. As long as the spiritual spring water could cure stubborn illnesses, the emperor would naturally commend her as a hero. Thinking of this, Wang Jingyi finally felt better.

In the Qianyuan Hall, An Ruhai was serving the emperor for a meal. He originally thought that according to the master's temperament, he would not use things sent from outside. But who knew that the emperor chewed slowly for a long time, but looked at the food in the corner.

The food box said: "Take it and take a look."

Hey, it seems that Master Xia's status is indeed extraordinary. An Ruhai made it clear his target of allegiance in the future and ran over.

When I opened it, I saw that there were just a few light dishes, such as pickled radish shreds dyed rose-colored, emerald green and shiny pepper oil and water shield sauce, etc., which were perfect to go with porridge.

The emperor muttered: "It seems that we should use the things in the Queen Mother's palace to make up the number."

The Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, so of course she ate mostly vegetarian dishes - she knew that lazy fellow Xia couldn't do it herself.

An Ruhai laughed along with her, thinking to herself, didn't you also enjoy the meal? It can be seen that it is enough for this matter to be fulfilled.

After the emperor finished eating the two plates of side dishes, he saw something like clear water beside him, and he couldn't help but look suspicious.

An Ruhai remembered Wang Jingyi's explanation and said hurriedly: "This is the mountain spring that Master Xia personally drew for you. It is said to be refreshing and quench your thirst, and can calm the mind and calm the mind. It is best to drink it alone to avoid odor contamination."

Liu Zhang said, "She has quite a few tricks up her sleeve."

After all, I picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

When An Ruhai came out of the inner hall, he saw Wang Jingyi still standing at the foot of the steps, lingering and asked hurriedly: "Eunuch, have you drank that cup of spring water?"

An Ruhai thought to himself that you, the errand boy, are more anxious than the person involved, but you had to be perfunctory and nodded with a smile.

Wang Jingyi was willing to leave with peace of mind, thinking that there would be nothing wrong this time - the palace should not have been the only one in the palace, Xia Tong's glory had come to an end, and it was her turn.

This night, An Ruhai served the emperor to sleep as usual. Although Master Xia was not here, it seemed that the emperor was not in a hurry. It just so happened that he could have a peaceful sleep tonight - otherwise, it would be difficult for him, a eunuch, to hear that kind of sound every night.

Be pure and have few desires.

Unexpectedly, An Ruhai was woken up by a heavy knock on the door after dozing until midnight, only to find that the emperor was neatly dressed and said with a gloomy face: "Prepare the sedan chair! Go to the Queen Mother's Palace."

An Ruhai: "..."

Are you planning to raid your home, or are you planning to steal your bride?

Although he didn't know what it meant, An Ruhai didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly called his attendants to take care of him and sang loudly: "Put it in Ningshou Palace!"
