"Empress Dowager, Concubine Le is weak after giving birth, and my wife is busy making up for Concubine Le... The maid of Yuhuatai, my wife naturally has no time to take care of it." Dongfang Jing raised her eyebrows, "I don't know this What kind of news did Empress Xin concubine get... that she took so much trouble to invite the minister's wife here."
"Rong Xinruo invited you here?" The Empress Dowager frowned upon hearing this.
"Empress Dowager, don't listen to her nonsense! There are no servants!" Rong Xinruo immediately denied.
"Didn't you please?" Dongfang Jing chuckled, "Her maid from Jinxiu Palace came to talk to my maid from Yuhuatai, saying that my maid from Yuhuatai committed a crime in Guanju Palace... My wife I was fortunate enough to hear it, so naturally I can’t sit idly by.”
"The people below chew their tongues, what does this have to do with me?!" Rong Xinruo frowned, eager to get rid of the relationship!
Dongfang Jing didn't say anything more, but looked at the Empress Dowager calmly with a well-behaved appearance.
The empress dowagers are all over ninety years old, how many of these little tricks in the harem can't be seen through at such a young age? It's clear that Rong Xinruo took advantage of Yuhuatai and deliberately called Zhongli Wanyun to come over to take his anger out on him!
"Okay!" She frowned, and said sideways, "It doesn't matter why Wanyun came here! The important thing is, why did your maid from Yuhuatai appear in Guanju Palace?!"
Dongfang Jing shook her head, "My wife doesn't know."
"You don't know?! Heh!" Rong Xinruo sneered, "Empress Dowager, the maidservant received news that there was a palace maid in Guanju Palace who was having an affair with the guards. Now it seems that the so-called palace maid is actually by the side of Princess Gong." I'm your personal maid! Who is Luqiao? The Empress Dowager probably doesn't know too well, but the relationship between Luqiao and Princess Gong is much closer than you can imagine!"
The Empress Dowager frowned and looked at Rong Xinruo suspiciously without saying a word.
Rong Xinruo then continued, "Lu Qiao has been with Princess Gong since she was a child, and the two have a deep relationship. Later, when Lu Qiao got married, Princess Gong was afraid that she would be wronged, so she even recognized her as a righteous sister!"
"You mean, that Luqiao is already married?" The Empress Dowager's expression became even more embarrassing!
Seeing this, Dongfang Jing lowered her eyes, and replied, "Back to the Empress Dowager, Lu Qiao has already married Mrs. Xia Qinglan, Minister of the Household Department, as his wife. This marriage was appointed by His Majesty."
"Your Majesty?" The Empress Dowager lived in the harem, so she obviously didn't know about these things.
"Your Majesty, can you not be appointed?! Heh!" Rong Xinruo snorted, then turned his head, and said to the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, you old man doesn't know! That Luqiao has been misbehaving all along! Back then when the Prime Minister In order to save the face of Lord Xia and the reputation of that maidservant, His Majesty gave the two of them a marriage as a last resort!"
"Really?!" The Empress Dowager frowned, with a hint of displeasure on her face, "So this Lu Qiao is such an ignorant person?!"
Inside the room, Luqiao clearly heard the conversation outside, and her body shook, as if her whole body was frozen.
Xia Qinglan hurried forward, lowered her voice, and comforted her, "Don't listen to their nonsense!"
Lu Qiao turned her body sideways, opened her mouth in a daze, and after a long time, said, "Master Xia, what are they talking about? Well done...why do you want to slander my reputation?"
