"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I just happen to know a little bit about medicine."
Compared to Lin Zhaoyi's nervousness and excitement, Jiang Tang was extremely calm.
After hearing her answer, the woman in the chair finally calmed down a little: "Really? I'm sorry you don't dare."
The system, which was the only one who knew the truth, was silent: ...How could its host know any medical skills? What she knew was obviously a lie!
Looking at the way the other party was persuaded by her just a few words, the system suddenly felt that the trip to the summer resort was not so stressful anymore.
After all, it is following a heroine who can even take down the male lead, and a palace concubine who is not even a backdrop...
"My slave knows some massage techniques. If your Majesty is willing to give it a try, I can make you feel more comfortable."
Just when the system was about to praise Jiang Tang, the girl started to recommend herself as if nothing had happened.
Lin Zhaoyi did not answer immediately. Instead, she frowned and looked at her with a little more scrutiny.
Jiang Tang was not nervous, and still smiled: "These symptoms of the empress are all caused by excessive anxiety. If you can give her a massage to clear your mind, you will probably be able to come up with a solution if you have any troubles."
Needless to say, this point really touched Lin Zhaoyi's heart.
The nanny next to her wanted to remind her that Jiang Tang looked unusual, but Lin Zhaoyi beat her to it: "Then press it. If it's not done well... humph."
The last two words fully conveyed her threat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission." Jiang Tang bowed and saluted, and then asked, "Can you let me prepare some preparations first? Your Majesty's body is worth millions of dollars and should not be treated lightly."
This short sentence made Lin Zhaoyi's face look a little better.
She nodded in agreement: "Go ahead."
When Jiang Tang frowned, the nun beside her couldn't help it anymore: "My dear, why did you agree? What if this palace maid has bad intentions?"
Lin Zhaoyi froze for a moment, and then she avoided the eyes of grandma with a little embarrassment: "It's just a massage. With so many palace people here, what can she do? Mammy, you are too nervous."
"But……"
Mammy wanted to say something else, but she waved her hand and refused: "Okay, that's it. They are all people who are going to be given to the emperor anyway. It's a good thing if she has more skills."
After saying this, grandma fell silent and stopped trying to persuade her.
After a while, Jiang Tang came out after changing into clean clothes and washing his hands.
"Mom, you can close your eyes and take a rest."
The palace maid removed the hairpin ring from Lin Zhaoyi's bun, and then combed her hair with jade. Jiang Tang stood by and waited with a smile, while Aunt Lu had a straight face and looked at Jiang Tang warily.
"Okay, leave it to me next."
After hearing the words, the palace maid stepped back. Jiang Tang raised her hand to lift her sleeves, revealing her jade-like wrists. Even Aunt Lu, who was looking at her with eager eyes, was dazzled by her white skin, and then frowned even more tightly.
.
"Um,"
When Jiang Tang started pressing the button for the first time, Lin Zhaoyi, who had closed her eyes to rest her mind, couldn't help but hum.
If she was facing a formidable enemy, Grandma Lu wanted to stop her, but she found that although her master frowned tightly, he did not open his eyes to scold her, so she suppressed her dissatisfaction and eagerness and continued to glare at Jiang Tang.
If she does anything wrong at all, let her go immediately.
Generally speaking, Aunt Lu strongly disagreed with Lin Zhaoyi's approach of asking a beauty to be favored by the emperor in order to plead for the family.
"My Majesty, I have been too stressed out these days, even my sleep has been affected, and I have dark circles under my eyes."
Thinking of the girl's light and melodious voice, Lin Zhaoyi's heart tightened inexplicably as she tried her best to endure the painful and satisfying massage.
"Do you wake up from having many dreams at night? Do you feel extra tired even though you haven't done anything during the day?"
Lin Zhaoyi's hands clenched into fists unconsciously. She had all these symptoms!
Moreover, it is getting more and more serious. Even if she consulted the imperial doctor, they would only advise her to relax and not think too much.
If she could relax, what else would the doctor do?
"Mom, relax, take a deep breath, and follow my rhythm. If you are tired, you can take a short rest..."
There seemed to be some kind of ancient rhythm hidden in the girl's voice, which made people listen to it unconsciously and want to do what she said.
Nanny Lu next to her was still frowning, but she felt a little disdainful in her heart. The empress had been so anxious recently that she couldn't sleep for several nights. Even if she took a nap occasionally with calming soup, she would wake up quickly.
Even the imperial doctor couldn't solve the problem, so she just pressed it randomly... It couldn't possibly work!
"Why do you..."
"Shh~"
Slender white fingers touched her lips lightly, and Jiang Tang said softly: "Your Majesty is tired, let her rest."
Grandma Lu's mouth opened wide and she didn't close it for a while.
Fell asleep?
How can it be?
But looking at the tired woman in front of him, he couldn't say anything he wanted to refute.
Because something happened at home, how long has it been since her mother-in-law had a peaceful sleep?
Lin Zhaoyi's life has been smooth sailing, but the difficulties she faces now are the biggest setbacks in her life.
As a grandma who watched her grow up, Mammy Lu would be lying if she said she didn't feel sorry for her.
Aunt Lu, who had been wary and dissatisfied with Jiang Tang from the first moment, thinking of persuading the empress to drive her away no matter what, suddenly couldn't say anything at this moment.
If she can let the empress take a good rest, it won't be useless at all.
"My wife can probably sleep for two or three hours. This position will make her neck stiff when she wakes up. How about grandma and I move her to the couch to rest?"
Aunt Lu subconsciously retorted: "Impossible, I can't sleep for that long! Your Majesty will wake up after a cup of tea at most!"
Jiang Tang opened his mouth and closed it again, seemingly helpless: "Then let's wait for a cup of tea first. If the queen doesn't wake up, how about we move to the couch?"
This time, Grandma Lu did not refuse.
The two of them just stood next to Lin Zhaoyi, one confident and calm, the other nervous and worried.
I want her to sleep a little longer, but I don't think so.
until--
"The time for a cup of tea has almost passed. Do you think it's okay, Nanny?"
Grandma Lu was silent. Seeing her master sleeping very soundly and even snoring, she could no longer say no.
"...You go on with the witty words, and you will tell me the rest after I wake up."
Aunt Lu spoke expressionlessly, and Jiang Tang bowed and left.
[Wow, I stayed successfully. Host, you are awesome! 】
The system set off fireworks excitedly, and Jiang Tang looked at the palace maid who was leading the way:
"Your name is Miaoyu, right? My name is Haitang, and I'm going to trouble my sister next."
Miaoyu just glanced at Jiang Tang but said nothing and led her out.
Jiang Tang, who was a little behind her, raised her eyebrows slightly. This place was more depressing than she thought. Wasn't she even willing to speak?
