Chapter 298 Jealousy
“To report to the Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness, Princess, come to pay your respects to the Queen Mother.” Eunuch Zhao came to report respectfully.
Empress Dowager Zheng fell ill on the bed, her temper became more and more violent, and she was very difficult to take care of. The clever and smooth Eunuch Zhao couldn't bear it either. His handsome face, which was three points more beautiful than a woman's, looked rather haggard.
Jiang Shaohua saw this and had no sympathy for Eunuch Zhao.
The palace is a quagmire that swallows human nature. Even though Eunuch Zhao looks so pitiful, he turns around and bullies the palace eunuchs with great power. She secretly spent a lot of money to bribe Eunuch Zhao, and they had a cooperative relationship. There's nothing real about it.
Queen Mother Zheng coughed twice: "Let them come in!"
Eunuch Zhao retreated in response. After a while, Princess Baohua and her party entered the palace.
Princess Baohua is dressed in plain clothes, with a thin and slender figure, and an indelible sadness between her brows. Behind him, Jiang Guanhua and Jiang Yuehua were also wearing plain clothes and no makeup. Fan Jianing, who has a delicate appearance, has also become thinner.
Jiang Shaohua stood up and greeted Princess Baohua.
She was wearing a luxurious and heavy princess dress today, which formed a strong contrast with the plain white clothes of Princess Baohua and others.
Princess Baohua was in a complicated mood and said softly: "Cousin Shaohua, please get up."
"A few days ago, cousin Shaohua carried the coffin to the imperial mausoleum, and had to take care of her second brother along the way. Thank you for your hard work. !"
Jiang Shaohua responded softly: "This is all my responsibility."
"I can divide it. It's good if things are done well." Empress Dowager Zheng answered, her satisfaction and praise for Jiang Shaohua was effusive: "There are some short-sighted bastards who make irresponsible remarks against Shaohua, thanks to Shaohua's tough temper. , pushed back."
"This is the style of Princess Jiang."
Jiang Guanhua and Jiang Yuehua quickly looked at each other and lowered their eyes to hide the jealousy in their eyes.
Both of them are county heads, their status is one level lower than Jiang Shaohua's, and both of them have false titles. That is to say, there is a salary, money and rice every year, but no fiefdom. Of course, there are no soldiers and no food.
In the past, thousands of miles apart, the two of them occasionally mentioned Jiang Shaohua, at most with a little bit of envy. Now Jiang Shaohua appeared in the palace with thunderous momentum, and quickly became the favorite of Empress Dowager Zheng, the closest cousin to His Royal Highness, and the ambitious daughter of the Jiang family in the eyes of the ministers...
Under Jiang Shaohua’s dazzling light, wouldn’t the two Jiang clan daughters be dimmed?
Even Princess Baohua, who has a gentle and quiet temperament, looks at Jiang Shaohua who steals everyone's attention, doesn't she feel a little bit sour in her heart?
She is Princess Daliang and the only daughter of Emperor Taikang. She should be the one to do things like support the coffin. As a result, she didn't show up, but Jiang Shaohua stole the show and even took this opportunity to enter the court.
"The princess is really amazing," Fan Jianing, whose surname is not Jiang, and who doesn't have so many complicated thoughts, opened his mouth with envy: "I heard that the princess went to the court meeting today, and a woman entered the court. This is Unprecedented.”
Jiang Shaohua glanced at Jiang Wanhua. Jiang Yuehua's pretty face was filled with anger, and she smiled calmly: "It's because of the protection and support of the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness that I, the Princess of Nanyang, can stand in the court. If it were Miss Fan or anyone else, they would have done more than me. Okay."
Jiang Wanhua and Jiang Yuehua nodded in unison. Just listen to Fan Jianing say: "How is this possible? If it were me, if the Prime Minister took one look at him, I would tremble, let alone argue with reason. There is also the Prince of Wu'an, who is the elder of the clan, and the Princess is against the previous one. Being fearless and never falling behind is something that not everyone can do.”
“Sister Wanhua, sister Yuehua, don’t you think so?”
Jiang Guanhua Jiang Yuehua: "..."
Jiang Guanhua, who was poked at the sore spot, twitched the corner of his mouth and responded awkwardly: "Sister Fan is right. Cousin Shaohua has a tough temperament and is resolute, and I am far behind. "Jiang Yue Hua Ye could only laugh and said: "Although cousin Shaohua is young, she is decisive and cold-blooded, even better than men. How can I compare to cousin Shaohua."
The sourness in the words, Almost floating out.
Fan Jianing realized belatedly that he had hurt the face of the two county heads by speaking too honestly, so he hurriedly smiled and made amends: "I didn't mean to look down on the two sisters, so don't be upset. Two. Both sisters have fathers and brothers, so they don’t have to worry about anything. They just need to live happily in the boudoir. They don’t have to worry about managing the feudal land like the princess.”
Jiang Wanhua thought to himself, if you can't speak, then stop talking. No one will think you are mute.
Jiang Yuehua rolled her eyes in her heart. Yes, yes, Jiang Shaohua is a princess with a fiefdom, and both the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince value her highly. The two of them are wimps raised in the harem.
Jiang Shaohua smiled and said nothing.
Actually, she is also a younger brother of her father. However, her father is the son-in-law, and her brother's surname is Lu. In the eyes of the royal family, they are not worthy of publicity. Naturally, he was ignored by everyone.
Three words offended three people without knowing it, namely Fan Jianing.
Princess Baohua reluctantly opened her mouth to smooth things over: "Sisters, there is no need to compete. It is only right to get closer to each other."
Jiang Shaohua calmly answered the question: "That's what my cousin said. I It’s a rare trip to the capital to wait for the prince’s cousin After the enthronement ceremony, I will go back to Nanyang County. The mountains and rivers will be far away in the future, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get together with my cousins. It is time to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to them."
Jiang Wanhua Jiang Yuehua's face looked a little better.
Jiang Wanhua said with a smile: "You have to go to court, how can you have time to gossip with us."
"The big court meeting is held once every half a month. Although the small court meeting is held every day, it is only Half a day." Jiang Shaohua smiled casually: "I'll be free in the afternoon."
"Then we have made an appointment to come and pay our respects to the Queen Mother at this time every day." Jiang Yuehua said happily: "It just so happens that we have lunch at Jingyang Palace."
The girls talked and laughed, Queen Mother Zheng Seeing it in his eyes, he was also very satisfied: "That's right. You are both the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, so you should get closer to each other."
Then he opened his mouth and ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare meals.
Empress Dowager Zheng is weak and cannot stay at the hotel. Princess Baohua first served Queen Mother Zheng for dinner, and then led her cousins and companions to have lunch.
Jiang Shaohua grew up in the palace in his previous life and knew the temperament of the four girls in front of him very well. Over lunch, I started chatting and laughing with them and became familiar with them.
Jiang Guanhua muttered to Jiang Yuehua in private: "It's really weird. I hated her very much. Now I think she's actually pretty good."
"She is well-informed and speaks very interestingly." Jiang Yuehua, Jr. He said: "Talk to her, indeed Interesting. Otherwise, we can interact with her a little bit to avoid being laughed at."
"Who makes us two so tolerant?"
