When Xizhu sent the news, Jiang Shuhua was teasing her daughter with a rattle.
After hearing the news, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, "This Xie Songhua, is she itchy if she doesn't get involved in her mother's family's affairs? Now that she is a princess, she is eager to show off her power in her mother's family?"
Everyone else in the room was cleared away, leaving only Xizhu.
Knowing that this was not a question to her, she did not continue, but just asked: "It seems that the Xie family will not convict the eldest wife!"
"Then make a big fuss," Jiang Shuhua sneered. "If word spreads, say that the eldest wife of the Xie family murdered my mother-in-law, find the doctor and let him come forward and tell the story personally."
Xizhu hesitated when he heard this, "This... I am the newly appointed chief minister after all, so he is causing trouble..."
Jiang Shuhua knew what she was taboo about, "Of course I want to rely on the big tree like Xie Yuncang, but isn't this big tree still unwilling to let me rely on now? Slowly, step by step, I want him to admit in public that I am him
Daughter, as for now..."
She sneered, "Which powerful official in the past dynasties has not been infamous? It depends on how our Chief Minister Xie handles it."
When Xizhu heard this, he didn't dare to say anything more and immediately went down to make arrangements.
With the money given by the three princes before, plus what Jiang Shuhua originally got from the Qi family, now apart from being on par with the Crown Princess, there is probably no one else in the East Palace who can surpass Jiang Shuhua.
Not even Concubine Ye, who was held in the palm of her hand by the British duchess.
What's more, during this period of time, Concubine Ye had been staying at home, claiming to be ill, and the prince had never even seen her.
For this East Palace, that person is considered to be in the cold palace.
As for Concubine Zhao, she was reprimanded and placed under house arrest by His Highness the Crown Prince twice, so how could she have any dignity left.
Some time ago, something went wrong at the Queen's funeral ceremony. Even the imperial censor was in the ginseng book, and now he is huddled in the room and dare not come out.
The palace is the most popular place for people to worship those who are superior and those who are inferior to others. Seeing that besides the Crown Princess, Jiang Liangdi is the only one who has won the favor of His Highness, so naturally everyone supports her.
It couldn't be easier for Xizhu to do something now.
Arrangements were quickly made to return and return to work.
Jiang Shuhua waved her hand, not paying attention at all, and waited to see the Xie family's joke.
She followed the recipe given by the Imperial Hospital, simmered the prince's soup for several hours, and then headed to the prince's study.
This is also the privilege she has recently obtained, allowing her to enter and leave the prince's study.
When he came in, he saw the prince sitting upright in front of the case with his brow furrowed.
"Your Highness, I have made you a cup of soup. You have become more and more clean recently. I know that you are busy with government affairs, and I know that you are in pain after the death of the empress. But in everything, you still have to put your body first, and do not hurt yourself."
Seeing that she was dressed plainly and with concern on her almost unpainted face, the prince's heart softened at first, and he stretched out his hand to call her over. Instead, he put on a smile and said, "You've been making soup for me every day these days.
Thank you for your hard work. I know how you feel about it, so you don’t have to be like this."
"Your Highness is everything to me. If I hadn't had limited knowledge and was born a daughter, I would really wish I couldn't solve your problems for Your Highness."
While she put the soup in her hand on the table, she pulled the prince to sit down and gently massaged his shoulders.
In order to be able to serve the prince well, during this period of time, she had been learning fingering techniques from the imperial physician in the palace. Now she has a decent massage plan specially adjusted according to the prince's condition.
Sure enough, after a while, the prince's expression relaxed a lot.
"I haven't been back much recently. Zhao Yuechan didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Thanks to the diligent and silent use of eye drops during this period, the prince's impression of Zhao Yuechan became even worse.
"How could it be? No matter what, I still have Yuan'er! Even if Concubine Zhao doesn't like me, I am the one who gave birth to His Highness's child. She doesn't dare to do anything to me."
"Speaking of which," the prince liked her even more when he saw how informed and interesting she was. "It's a coincidence that the positions for both concubines are full. Otherwise, I would have made you the concubine no matter what."
"Your Highness..."
One of Jiang Shuhua's best expressions was Chu Chu's pitiful and moved look. As soon as this look appeared, the prince immediately felt that his whole heart was about to melt.
"But don't be impatient. Just wait. When Gu ascends to the throne in the future, you will definitely have a place as the fourth concubine."
After waiting for such a long time, I finally got the right word.
Jiang Shuhua was about to bow and thank her, but the prince stopped her.
Holding her soft hand, I wanted to pull her into my arms, but thinking that it was still the anniversary of my mother's death, I held myself back.
When I think of the late empress, I can't help but think of Concubine Gao who is still living in the palace.
Queen Zhao was killed by Concubine Gao in full public view, but even so, Emperor Yufeng did not punish her in any way.
It seems that the death of the third prince and Empress Zhao offset each other.
But on the prince's side, how could it be offset?
That man killed the mother of a nation!
Therefore, during this period, he would take people to Concubine Gao every late at night and abuse Concubine Gao in every possible way.
If he hadn't yet ascended the throne, if he hadn't been worried about the historian's writing, he would have to imitate history and make it a human pig.
As for the Seventh Prince...
A person with no ability at all is a dignified prince of a country. Do future emperors need to be afraid?
After what happened last time, Emperor Yufeng began to hide and retreat again, paying little attention to the affairs of the previous dynasty and not allowing the seventh prince to enter the palace. He had many methods.
"Your Highness has been very busy recently, but things have not gone well in the previous dynasty?" Jiang Shuhua served him and inquired as if unintentionally, "It's a pity that I can't talk to Xie Shoufu.
Xie Shoufu's temperament is a little too cautious, otherwise with his ability and the Xie family's experience over the years, he would definitely be able to solve many problems for His Highness."
His words reminded the prince, "Now is not the time. That incident made you lose face. In the future, Gu will accompany you back to Xie's family to visit relatives. The Xie family knows Gu's attitude and will naturally accept it again.
You are."
"Your Highness... I don't mean this, how can I ask Your Highness to be my concubine..."
"Needless to say, I don't want to see you looked down upon like this."
Every time the prince received a reward, Jiang Shuhua was not as dignified and virtuous as the prince to accept or advise, nor was she like Zhao Yuechan who had her pride written all over her face, nor was she like the one with the surname Ye who always had a cold face.
Her eyes looking at her were as bright as stars, reflecting her admiration and love for him.
The prince liked this feeling and wished he could give her more.
Jiang Shuhua was good at controlling men's emotions. In this way, it didn't take long for her to accurately grasp the prince's mentality.
As time went by, the prince no longer had to be so defensive when talking to her.
"It's not that I'm worried about political matters lately, it's that there are a lot of people and things under the control of Lao San, and I have to think about how to deal with them properly."
When the third prince was mentioned, Jiang Shuhua's expression stiffened for a moment. Before she could adjust, she heard the prince smile and say: "You said that spies are doing things, but now they are becoming more and more unreliable.
He actually said that the third child had another wife outside and had given birth to a child for him. How is this possible?"
