"...Master, this servant is incompetent and has not convinced Mrs. Jiang. If she bites her to death, she wants the invitation and nothing else."
As soon as Nuan Dong came back, he knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake.
Concubine Ye's hand holding the book paused, and although her eyebrows were furrowed, she was not that surprised:
"Get up, I don't blame you. That person is vain and greedy. How can you change that with just a few words?"
When she said this, Concubine Ye's eyes filled with endless disgust.
At the same time, I have made a decision. If I don't agree, I won't agree. I want the eldest princess's invitation. Dream on!
Nuan Dong got up from the ground, but her expression did not relax. Looking at the gentle and dignified master in front of her, she hesitated: "Master, slave... I still have something to report."
"Well, say."
Concubine Ye didn't even raise her head and spoke calmly.
Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, Nuan Dong pursed his lips and said, "It's a very important matter. I dare to ask the master to withdraw."
Concubine Ye finally looked away from the book.
She glanced left and right, and the maids who were serving her quietly withdrew.
"Zhi Xia stays."
Concubine Ye stopped Zhixia who was about to leave.
Nuan Dong didn't say anything when he saw this: "Master, when I just went to see Mrs. Jiang, a maid came in with medicine, and she scolded her angrily."
"She is not in good health, so there is nothing strange about taking medicine."
It can only be said that Jiang Tang was bedridden before, which left a deep impression on others, so she didn't think it was anything.
Seeing that Concubine Ye didn't care, Nuan Dong became a little anxious: "No, Master, I smelled it, it was a medicine to induce pregnancy!"
The book in Concubine Ye's hand was put back on the table with a snap, and a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly looked at her.
Nuan Dong is Ye Bifei's personal maid. In addition to serving her, she also has the task of being a favor to her master. When Ye Bifei got married, she was taught everything that the family should teach her.
Among them, there are special prescriptions for identifying pregnancy and contraception.
So as soon as Jiang Tang's medicine came out, she smelled it.
Seeing that her master finally paid attention to her, she no longer hesitated: "Not only that, the maid accidentally touched Ms. Jiang's belly when she was massaging her. She immediately became angry and drove him away without saying a word. She was also... wary.
He glanced at this slave, as if he was afraid that I would find something."
Nuan Dong talked about the situation just now, and the more he talked about it, the more doubts he felt.
Before Concubine Ye could speak, Zhixia said first, "I thought it was a big deal. Master, don't forget, Mrs. Jiang has already eaten..."
"What if she doesn't eat?"
Concubine Ye suddenly said: "What if she secretly vomited it out afterwards and didn't eat it?"
Her eyes and voice were very cold, which made the people being stared at feel their hearts skip a beat and they were inexplicably afraid to answer.
No one spoke anymore in the room, and the silence was a bit breathtaking.
After an unknown amount of time, Concubine Ye finally spoke: "Since she wants the princess's invitation so much, then give it to her. However, she must also learn to pay the price."
Not long after, the news spread in the backyard of the palace that Jiang Tang had "a heart as high as the sky, and a lowly concubine actually tried to attend Princess Zhang's banquet."
"Bitch, you don't even look at your status to see if you are worthy of it!"
"Your Majesty never attends royal family banquets. She, just let her dream go."
"Such a greedy woman will be killed by the prince sooner or later!"
…
In the face of rumors, Jiang Tang is very stable. She loves to talk, but she doesn't lose a piece of meat.
For her, the most important thing is that if the female supporting role is not taught to "pay", how can she seize this hard-won opportunity?
That night, Concubine Ye, who always slept well, suddenly had a strange dream.
She dreamed that she was standing at the back of a room and heard two people talking through the hazy screen window.
One of them had a soft and sweet voice, which was very recognizable: "If you have a child, you just hide it... So what if he doesn't like it? If it is really born, can he kill it? You still have to admit it."
The other one, who seemed to be a little girl, also replied with a smile: "Master, you are so brave."
She couldn't remember the rest of the dream, only the sentence "If it was really born, could he kill it?" kept echoing in her mind.
Even when I woke up and opened my eyes, those words were firmly remembered.
It was still early in the day, and the room with gauze curtains was hung in darkness. Concubine Ye opened her eyes and murmured with a white face: "If it is really born, can he still kill it?"
-
"The second prince is the elder brother of the prince after all... He specially sent the steward of the palace to express his thanks. The prince just wants to meet him. It can be regarded as a sign of brotherly love..."
The second prince had been following the doctor's orders to recuperate at the palace after returning from winter hunting. After his leg injury healed, he couldn't wait to order the eunuch in charge to come to Prince Rong's palace with generous gifts to express his gratitude.
After many consultations, he now knows better than anyone how timely the fourth child saved him.
If he saw him, he would leave and not come down.
If he didn't give him first aid when he came down, his leg would really be useless!
It is no exaggeration to say that the fourth child is now his savior.
Regardless of the hatred between the two before, the second prince was truly grateful to Xiao Yinhan at this time.
It's just that the second prince was grateful, but his precious brother didn't change his attitude towards him at all.
Even Eunuch Liu could see that this was the second prince's show of goodwill, and it was a perfect opportunity to repair the relationship between brothers.
But their arrogant and cold prince would not move, and even tried to drive people out.
That is to say, he stopped me, otherwise it would not be impossible to repay my kindness and become an enemy instead!
"Your Majesty, if it really doesn't work... Is this old slave going to pick it up for you?"
Just when Eunuch Liu was speechless and Xiao Yinhan was indifferent, Jiang Tang came in with soup.
"Your Majesty, please try the newly prepared warming soup."
As soon as Jiang Tang walked in, he received Eunuch Liu's eager pleading signal.
She only glanced at it before being interrupted by Xiao Yin's cold voice: "Why are you standing here? Get out!"
"yes……"
Eunuch Liu left dejectedly.
Jiang Tang's expression did not change, he walked over to the male protagonist with a smile, and took the pen away from the man's hand like a baby: "Your Majesty, the soup won't taste good when it's cold."
Xiao Yinhan glared at her dissatisfiedly, and she showed innocent eyes: "I didn't lie to you."
"snort."
The man snorted coldly, stretched out his slender fingers and pinched her delicate face unceremoniously, and then took the soup in her hand.
Jiang Tang pouted, looking aggrieved, daring to get angry but afraid to speak, and finally pleased someone with a bad temper.
At the same time, the system also found the plot about the princess’s banquet in the original book for her:
During this period of the original work, Xiao Yinhan was notorious, and no matter which faction wanted to see him.
The second prince, who had already criticized perverts after breaking his leg, also gave Xiao Yinhan a shocking gift when he was forced by the emperor to attend the eldest princess’s banquet——
