Chapter 161 Entering the Palace to Meet the Concubine Sister
The next day, Xiyun hurriedly walked into the house, not knowing where she came back from. When she got to Jiang Zuiyao, she said, "Master, this slave is back."
Seeing Xijun sweating as she ran, Jiang Zuiyao poured a cup of tea, handed it over and said, "Sit down, drink some tea and talk slowly."
"Thank you, Master." Xijun found a chair and sat down. He quenched his thirst with a cup of tea and said quickly: "I have been watching outside the study last night. The young master left in a carriage in the middle of the night. The carriage ran very fast. Fortunately,
The slave made preparations in advance and asked someone to put the car on and prepare it all the time."
Jiang Zuiyao quickly asked out of curiosity: "Where is Shao Ziqing going? Has he left the city?"
Xiyun shook his head: "The eldest young master did not leave the city. The carriage ran to the gate of the imperial city before stopping. The servant saw that it was Eunuch Cui who took the eldest young master into the palace. The servant could not enter the palace, so he has been guarding outside until now.
I didn’t see the eldest young master coming out either.”
This made Jiang Zuiyao puzzled. Since it was Cui Eunuch who took him in, it must be the Queen Mother's intention. What did the Queen Mother ask Shao Ziqing to do?
It turned out that Jiang Zuiyao had thought everything was simple. The Queen Mother suddenly stopped punishing Shao Ziqing, not because of the ten thousand taels, but for other reasons.
Xijun asked tentatively: "I have some acquaintances in the palace. Do you want me to go and ask?"
Jiang Zuiyao quickly waved her hands and said: "No, since it is the Queen Mother's wish, we will intervene. It would be bad if the Queen Mother finds out."
It seems that Jiang Zuiyao can only stop here and pretend not to know anything about this matter.
Seven or eight days later, the Queen Mother sent someone to let her enter the palace.
When they arrived at the palace gate, they found that Qin Nanxian was also there. The relationship between the two had become quite estranged to this day. Qin Nanxian lowered his head in embarrassment and deliberately avoided it.
Jiang Zuiyao didn't care so much this time. She walked directly to Qin Nanxian and said, "Are you going to ignore me for the rest of your life?"
Qin Nanxian was slightly startled, his face seemed a little shaken, but he still refused to speak.
Jiang Zuiyao looked at the folding fan she gave him in his hand, pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "In that case, I will clarify the matter with the Queen Mother later when I see her, and you and I will go our separate ways in the future.
No connection."
"No!" Qin Nanxian panicked immediately: "If you tell your aunt, she will take it seriously."
Jiang Zuiyao pretended to be provocative and asked: "Aren't you serious? I think you are serious like that. You really want to break off our relationship with me."
Qin Nanxian's face darkened: "I don't, I just feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Zuiyao smiled: "If you feel uncomfortable, then don't talk anymore."
Qin Nanxian frowned when he saw Jiang Zuiyao playing with him: "Can't you give me a step down?"
Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't refute your face in person. I hope Mr. Qin has more people and doesn't have the same experience as me, okay?"
Qin Nanxian's demeanor immediately changed: "Since you have admitted your mistake, I won't take it to heart. This is your first offender and I won't do it again."
Seeing Qin Nanxian pretending to be arrogant, Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly bowed in response and said, "Yes."
As he straightened up, Jiang Zuiyao's eyes met Qin Nanxian's, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
This is friendship. When there are estrangements and unhappiness, there is no need to distinguish right from wrong. Everything is left to time. In the end, it is all a farce and it is passed with a smile.
At this time, a eunuch walked in from the palace gate and said to Qin Nanxian: "Master Qin, Eunuch Cui is out on business and is not in the palace. I will take you to see the Queen Mother."
Qin Nanxian and Jiang Zuiyao followed the eunuch to the palace and walked through several corridors. Qin Nanxian glanced at the distance and said: "My father-in-law, please stay. I want to go to the Shang Palace Bureau."
The father-in-law also looked in the direction where Qin Nanxian was looking and replied: "Young Master, go and come back quickly. Don't keep the Queen Mother waiting."
Qin Nanxian walked in the direction of Shang Palace Bureau, and Jiang Zuiyao followed closely behind. Regarding the place in this palace, she didn't recognize any place except the Queen Mother's Fengzhu Palace.
On the way there, Jiang Zuiyao asked, "What are you doing at Shang Gong Bureau?"
Qin Nanxian replied: "It's my aunt's birthday in a few days. I specially asked Shang Gong Bureau to make a set of gold and precious jewelry. I want to see how it goes."
Jiang Zuiyao was slightly surprised: "The Queen Mother's birthday?"
Qin Nanxian glanced at her expression and said, "Don't you know? On October 28th, the Queen Mother's 60th birthday will be grand, and you will definitely come then."
If it weren't for what Qin Nanxian said, Jiang Zuiyao wouldn't know anything about it.
When I arrived at the Shanggong Bureau, as soon as I entered the door, I heard a clear voice: "Eunuch Qin, you must pay attention to the painting for me. This is the peony painting I want to show to the Queen Mother. Something went wrong. I
Concubine, you are the only one asking."
The loud voice made Jiang Zuiyao look at the sound. It didn't matter, her face immediately turned ugly.
It turned out to be Jiang Ningyao.
Jiang Ningyao had her back turned to her but she didn't notice. Her maid Liuqing saw it and whispered in her ear. Jiang Ningyao quickly turned around and pried her over. When she saw Jiang Zuiyao, she was startled at first, and then her eyes were full of coldness.
Jiang Ningyao walked towards Jiang Zuiyao, looked her up and down, and smiled a little frivolously: "It's been three days since we've been apart. It's so impressive. My sister is now dressed in gold and expensive clothes, and she is completely different from before."
This is the first time Jiang Zuiyao has seen his concubine since time travel. In the past, she only looked like her in his memory. Now, seeing her pregnant with Liujia, dressed plainly yet luxuriously, she is a blessing.
Seeing the malicious look on her face, Jiang Zuiyao said coldly: "I was in trouble in the past, but it was my sister's credit."
Jiang Ningyao was slightly startled, a little surprised. She must know that she and Jiang Zuiyao have been together for so many years, but she has never heard Jiang Zuiyao say these words.
Jiang Ningyao smiled quickly: "What are you talking about? My sister's body has always been weak. What does it have to do with me? In the past, I always loved my sister. Now that my sister says this, it really chills my heart."
Jiang Zuiyao rolled her eyes in displeasure. Do you still think she is the stupid Jiang Zuiyao from before? She is not anymore.
Qin Nanxian was nowhere to be seen at this moment, and Jiang Zuiyao didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Ningyao, so she simply turned around and walked out the door.
Liu Qing muttered next to Jiang Ningyao: "Why do you think that my dear lady seems to be a different person?"
Jiang Ningyao snorted coldly, thinking that just because she was favored by the Queen Mother, she dared to be arrogant in front of her. Jiang Ningyao quickly followed Jiang Zuiyao out, her voice was low so that only two people could hear it, but her tone was cold and cruel.
