Concubine Jiang was so shocked that she couldn't speak. It took a long time to come back to her senses: "What else did they say?"
"Back to your Majesty, the Queen said that you must not let your Majesty know about this matter. She also said that she must destroy the marriage between His Highness Prince Jing and the Zhuo Mansion, and she must personally take charge of His Highness Prince Jing's marriage."
Concubine Jiang snorted disdainfully and said, "She deserves it? What does the Queen Mother say?"
The palace maid said: "The Queen Mother has not commented."
Concubine Jiang said: "If you don't object, you agree. The Queen Mother and the Queen have always been tied to the same rope. This is not surprising."
She glanced at the palace maid, with a smile on her face: "You did a good job this time, Qinghe, reward me."
The eldest maid Qing He who was standing behind the imperial concubine heard the words and stepped forward with a smile. She took out two silver ingots from her sleeve pocket, walked up to the maid, stretched out her hand to help her up, and stuffed the two silver ingots into the hands of the maid. , smiled and said: "This is your grace, take it."
The palace maid's eyes were filled with joy. Although she looked nervous, she did not refuse. She was obviously waiting for the money, otherwise she would not be able to do such a thing.
Although Qing He had a smile on his face, there was contempt in his eyes, and he said, "Go back first. You have to be more careful about things in Ruining Palace."
The palace maid took the order and retreated. Qing He turned back behind the imperial concubine and said softly: "Your Majesty, are her words trustworthy?"
Concubine Jiang gently closed her eyes and sighed, "Do you know what kind of person is the most terrifying in the world?"
Qinghe shook his head
Concubine Jiang said: "People who have no desires or demands are the most terrifying, because in this world, there is no one, thing, or thing that they care about, so they have nothing to fear."
"Once people have desires and have people and things they care about, they will become timid and bolder. So, you don't need to worry. She boldly sells out to seek money and to save her life. She will never Give away half a point.”
Qinghe nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are wise."
At this time, a palace maid came in from the outside and saluted Concubine Jiang: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhuo from the Prime Minister's Mansion has entered the palace and is waiting outside."
Concubine Jiang nodded slightly, Qing He understood and said to the palace maid: "Take her to the side hall to wait."
After the palace maid respectfully stepped back, Qing He helped Concubine Jiang stand up, went to the inner hall and changed into more gorgeous clothes. After combing her slightly lazy makeup and hair, Shi Shiran went to the side hall.
Although it was not the first time for Chang Meifeng to enter the palace, she was very nervous every time she entered the palace. She was already familiar with the rules of the palace, but every time she saw important people, she was always so nervous that she didn't know how to move her hands or what to say or do. What.
When the imperial concubine arrived, she was so surprised that she knocked over the tea cup in her hand. The green tea soup and wine filled her clothes, and the right hand holding the tea was also burned red by the scalding tea soup.
"My lord, my wife, my lord, may I live a thousand years!" Chang Meifeng usually speaks eloquently, but when she sees a big shot in the palace, she always gets tongue-tied and even her mind goes blank.
"Get up!" Concubine Jiang glanced at Chang Meifu who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes full of disgust and contempt.
No matter how many times she saw her, she could never have a good impression of Chang Meifeng. Perhaps she was born too lowly. Chang Meifeng always looked submissive and frightened in front of her. Her words were even more petty, short-sighted, and unsightly. A little bit of integrity.
Chang Meifu stood up, secretly annoyed that she had accidentally spilled tea all over her body just now, and she looked really embarrassed.
Concubine Jiang sat down, her back straight, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chang Meifeng, her face expressionless, and she said coldly: "Mrs. Zhuo, do you know why I am announcing your entry into the palace today?"
