Jiang Changning insisted on going to the west bedroom, and the eunuchs could not and dared not force her into the east bedroom.
Of course, the main reason was that they couldn't get close to Jiang Changning, and the four maids surrounded and protected Jiang Changning.
When the situation was at a stalemate, the queen arrived.
Seeing this, the queen's eyelids twitched violently, and she said with a stern face: "Why is there such a commotion in such an important place of sacrifice?"
"In reply to Your Majesty, I wonder if these two eunuchs are new to the job, and their living arrangements are a bit inappropriate. I am trying to reason with them." Jiang Changning bowed slightly.
When the Empress Dowager issued the decree, the Queen felt that something was fishy.
Only then would he rush out of the palace and rush to the Temple of Heaven to check the situation.
This sight made the queen furious. The emperor had seldom entered the harem in the past few months, and she thought that the emperor had turned over a new leaf and wanted to be a diligent monarch!
But he still had evil intentions and wanted to get his hands on Princess Jin.
The most hateful person is the Queen Mother, this old woman who indulges her son.
Shameless, so shameless.
In this regard, the Queen actually misunderstood the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother really didn't know that the Emperor was planning on Jiang Changning.
She asked Jiang Changning to come to the Temple of Heaven to fast and pray in order to create opportunities for the concubines in Prince Jin's Mansion.
The Prince of Jin is in his prime and has started eating meat. Previously, he was able to stay at ease because Jiang Changning was guarding him. But now that Jiang Changning is imprisoned in the Temple of Heaven, can he endure it
"The new official is indeed not doing his job properly. The eastern bedroom is where the concubines live, while the ladies outside the imperial court live in the western bedroom." The queen thought quickly and decided to bring the concubines in the palace to the Temple of Heaven to pray.
As the mother of the nation, how can I not take responsibility myself
It was just that the dirty thoughts of the mother and son made the queen feel ashamed. "Princess Jin, I'll take you there."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
"It was my fault that I didn't arrange the right people for the job, which led to this ridiculous incident. Please don't blame me, Princess Jin." The Queen could only take the blame.
"I dare not." Jiang Changning bowed.
The queen did not ask her why she was afraid and sent her to the west hall.
Many noble ladies had come to the small warm hall in the west side of the palace, and they were sitting in groups of three or five, drinking tea and chatting.
When they saw Jiang Changning being brought in by the Queen, several people showed surprised expressions.
The Queen smiled and said, "I just met Princess Jin at the door, so I came here together. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
The ladies all said, "Please take a seat, Madam."
"I won't sit down. If you need anything, please ask my maid to find me in the east." The queen still had things to arrange.
It was her sudden idea to ask the concubines in the palace to come to the Temple of Heaven to pray, and she had to go back to the palace to finalize the matter.
Also, this room needs to be rearranged. Princess Jin is absolutely not allowed to live in the east bedroom.
"If necessary, I will go find the queen."
The noble ladies respectfully escorted the queen out of the palace and returned to the small warm hall to continue chatting.
After chatting for a while, women from other mansions arrived one after another, even Zhao Xifang, who was still in her first month of pregnancy.
Zhao Xifang's face was pale and her body was thin. The miscarriage had seriously damaged her health.
"The Princess of Yu hasn't finished her menstrual period yet, right? You should ask for leave." Princess Chongyue said.
"It's just two days. It's okay." Zhao Xifang said with a smile.
"Sit down now."
Song Yirou also came, and when she saw Zhao Xifang, she blurted out, “Looking at you half-dead, it really makes people happy.”
The room was filled with silence and everyone was shocked. Isn't this too outspoken
"Princess Ningxia, you are so kind-hearted." Princess Yiya said unhappily.
The eldest princess didn't come, so the eldest princess respected her.
"I'm not telling you not to speak, but you should also know what to say and what not to say." Princess Yi Ya said coldly.
Song Yirou sneered and said, "I don't need Princess Yiya to teach me what to say and what not to say."
After a pause, he continued, "Some people have benefited from Zhao Xifang and helped her out, but they also have to consider whether their reputation is big enough."
This was equally impolite. Princess Yi Ya's face turned green with anger. "Princess Ningxia, please don't go too far."
"That's how I speak. If you don't like it, just bear with it." Song Yirou said arrogantly.
"Is she crazy?" The Princess of Changshan whispered in disbelief.
Although Song Yirou used to have a bad temper, she spoke decently. What happened to her now
Someone came to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, it's New Year's Day, stop being so angry, sit down and have some tea."
"Yes, yes, yes, drink tea, drink tea."
If we separate Song Yirou, Princess Yiya, and Zhao Xifang, there will be no quarrels anymore, right
"Thank you, Grand Princess, for your righteous words." Zhao Xifang thanked Grand Princess Yiya.
"Don't take to heart the stupid words said by a stupid person. You are still young and have a long life ahead of you." Princess Yi Ya took her hand, patted it gently, and comforted her.
Several other people also echoed her advice, and Zhao Xifang said that she would take good care of herself.
They drank cup of tea one after another. After half an hour, everyone had arrived and the small warm room seemed a little crowded.
"It's rare to see so many people crowded in one hall." The Princess Consort of Prince De smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
Jiang Changning took a sip of tea and said, "People often say that the capital is full of nobles and officials. Today I have a direct impression of this."
"You are such a mischievous person. If those officials hear you, they will definitely tell on the Princess of Jin, saying that she has a poisonous tongue." The Princess of Changshan laughed.
As they were talking and laughing, the lady-in-waiting beside the queen came in and greeted the ladies present, "Please go back to your rooms and rest."
Although there are many rooms in the sleeping hall on the west side of the Saigū, there are many noble ladies who come here to fast.
Jiang Changning and Zhao Xifang were assigned to the left and right rooms of the same apartment. Jiang Changning rubbed his forehead and thought, is this what they call enemies meeting on a narrow road
"Did you do this?" Zhao Xifang raised her eyebrows, stood in front of Jiang Changning and asked in a deep voice.
Jiang Changning was stunned. What do you mean, was it her who did it
What did she do
An idea suddenly flashed through her mind, and she smiled, "Princess Yu, you miscarried your child, not your brain."
The miscarriage and difficulty in giving birth are the pain in Zhao Xifang's heart. Her eyes are red. "It's you. It must be you."
"Princess Yu, there is no life-and-death feud between you and me, so there is no need for me to do this. Besides, I value my life very much and will never put myself in danger."
"Who is that?" Zhao Xifang gritted her teeth.
"Go and find out who wants to harm you. It's not me anyway. With Princess Yu's means and abilities, she will definitely be able to find out the real culprit behind the scenes."
"I will investigate. If I find out that it's you who did it, I won't let you go." Zhao Xifang glared at Jiang Changning viciously.
"Zhao Xifang, you look like a mad dog." Jiang Changning waved his hand and walked towards the left room.
"You scolded me! How dare you scold me!" Zhao Xifang chased for two steps but was stopped by Xiaochun and Banqin.
Su Fei sneered, "Princess Yu, please respect yourself."
"Get out of here, you little bitch." Zhao Xifang said sternly.
"This is a sacred place for sacrifices, Princess Yu, please do not make any noise, or you will be scolded by the Queen. If that happens, you will lose face. The Princess Dowager of Yu will certainly be willing to find a daughter-in-law who is easy to bear and raise." Jiang Changning said without turning his head.
The blood drained away from Zhao Xifang's red face.
