Jiang Ru comforted Liu Ruyan. She felt that Liu Ruyan was really making a fuss.
Wealth and honor are sought in danger. What she wants is the second most noble position in the world, so she will naturally have to pay a higher price.
"you say!"
Liu Ruyan had a stern face. She wanted to see what Jiang Ru could say. If she remained so crazy, not only would she not be able to help her, but she would also alienate her.
"Next month is the Chinese New Year, and there will be a banquet in the palace. Officials and their wives will go there. The emperor has always had the habit of drinking at palace banquets. If he was drunk and flirted with the noble lady that day, and was caught again, sister, what do you think of the emperor?
Will you marry someone into the palace?"
Jiang Ru's plan was not something she made without preparation. She had admired Zhao Jing for many years and was basically familiar with his habits and preferences.
This palace banquet is her best opportunity to enter the palace, and she is the daughter of the Jiang family. With the relationship between the eldest princess and Jiang Zhe, even if Zhao Jing knew that she was scheming, he would not easily deal with her, even if he could not become the queen.
, being a royal concubine is more than enough.
Jiang Ru believed that with her strategy, as long as she could enter the palace, the position of queen would be hers sooner or later.
Liu Ruyan was silent for a long time after listening. She frowned, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
As Jiang Ru said, it is definitely a royal scandal for the emperor to be drunk and frivolous with his daughter in public, but there is really no other way to help Jiang Ru rise to power faster than this.
Moreover, drinking at palace banquets is a normal thing. In the Great Yan Dynasty, no noblewoman has ever harmed her reputation for the sake of marriage. If Jiang Ru is said to be a scheming emperor, no one would believe that she would be so bold.
, so this matter is really feasible if planned carefully.
Liu Ruyan knew Jiang Ru's character. She was the most ruthless and ruthless person who would not give up until she achieved her goal. Even nine cows would not be able to pull back what she wanted to do. Liu Ruyan was not stupid and would not participate in her plot against the emperor.
But he won't directly refute her face, and it's okay to help her suppress Sannu.
"You also know that Sister Yan'er is timid and gets easily flustered when big things happen. I just don't get you into trouble at the critical moment. I can't help you anywhere. You can find your own way to handle matters in the palace. Sannu's side
I can help you prevent her from marrying the emperor, what do you think?"
Jiang Ru didn't expect Liu Ruyan to help her. Her purpose of coming this time was to join forces with Liu Ruyan to suppress Sannu. Now that her goal was achieved, Jiang Ru had nothing to be dissatisfied with.
"Then next time we have a party, Ru'er will invite my sister to join us. Then I will give that bitch some color and let her see who is the most noble girl in the capital!"
"Um."
Jiang and Liu once again worked together. They framed Jiang Miao before, and this time they were preparing to suppress Sannu. In the end, they were still related to Jiang Miao, but Jiang Miao had no knowledge of all this.
The New Year is coming soon, and the Shen family will also come to the capital for a reunion. Jiang Miao has recently been cleaning up the house and buying new year goods with her servants. Fortunately, Shen Yanqing bought a few more servants, otherwise it would have been just her and the two maids.
Son, I’m exhausted and too busy.
"Qinglian Qingwei, come here and rest for a while. We will dismantle it later."
The few empty rooms were all covered in dust. Jiang Miao planned to take down the curtains and curtains, wash them and hang them up again, which would not only make the room tidy but also have the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
Qinglian held Qingwei's hand and carefully got down from the stool, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. She was a little lady after all. Even if someone was supporting her, she would still be a little scared when she stood at a high place.
"Drink of water."
Jiang Miao was not idle either. Originally, she wanted to stand on the stool and pick the curtains herself, but Qinglian and Qingwei refused to let her do it, saying there was no reason for a slave to be idle while his master worked? So even if Jiang Miao persisted,
, Qinglian still overcame her fear and stood up.
A cup of hot tea fell into her throat, and Qinglian's pounding heart calmed down.
"Thank you, Madam."
"You two should stop doing this work later. Let Zhu Kuan do it when he comes back."
Zhu Kuan was quick and clever at work, and often helped Jiang Miao with her work. She was reluctant to use the two maids, so she thought of leaving the curtain picking job to Zhu Kuan.
"It's okay, madam. No need to trouble Zhu Kuan. Just the two of you, the slave girl and Qing Wei, will be here."
After hearing Jiang Miao's words, Qinglian felt a little anxious. She thought it was because the madam disliked her clumsiness. Although Qinglian and Qingwei had only stayed in the Shen family for less than half a year, these six months were the happiest in her life.
day.
There are no beatings or scoldings, no need to endure cold and hunger, and there are delicious meals to eat every day. The lady and the master are also kind and considerate to the servants. They have never dared to think about such a life in the past, and they wish they could do more work for the master.
Otherwise, what if the master is dissatisfied and sells them off? Where can they find such a good master?
"Okay, now that you've made a decision, don't refuse anymore."
Jiang Miao felt a little funny when she saw the frightened expressions of the two of them. She wasn't Zhou Bapi who treated her servants harshly. How could she have imagined that she would frighten the two of them like this?
Jiang Miao patted their shoulders and spoke a few words of comfort. Only then did Qinglian and Qingwei feel relieved. Their eyes were a little moist and full of gratitude.
"Madam, Qinglian/Qingwei will definitely help you with your work in the future. I will go to practice my courage tomorrow..."
"Puch!"
Jiang Miao laughed out loud after hearing what the two said. She never thought that the two of them would want to practice courage. Picking curtains is not a common job, so why do they need to climb high and low all day long?
Besides, she already has a strong maid, so the other two should just continue to act like little ladies.
Speaking of this, Jiang Miao suddenly missed Wu Yue. They had been apart for half a year, and she didn't know how Wu Yue's errands were going. She had to come back during the New Year.
And Wu Yue, whom she was thinking about, has been really troubled recently.
Qiao Songyun's foot has long been healed, but he has been having a seizure recently. He is threatening her with life-saving grace and forcing her to take him to the drugstore every day. However, Wu Yue is in the wrong, no matter how impatient he is, he still can't.
have to do.
"Xiao Qiao, come over and eat."
Mrs. Yuan made breakfast and called out to the yard. Qiao Songyun was standing not far from the gate, staring at the gate intently. Just by looking at his back, you could tell that he was waiting for someone.
"No, mother-in-law, I'll go to the food court to eat later."
After hearing what he said, Granny Yuan had a joking smile on her face.
"I see you don't want to go to the food court. Isn't Mrs. Wu bringing you another meal?"
After getting along with each other for half a year, Mrs. Yuan has roughly figured out Qiao Songyun's character. Although he looks cold, he is actually the most thin-skinned and thoughtful. From pestering Wu Yue to send him off every day, now every morning he is as if he is looking at his wife.
Staring at the door and the others, Mrs. Yuan had already noticed it.
