Chapter 788 The Palace Maid's Revenge 2
Three months passed quickly, and Doctor Zhu finally made the medicine that the Queen wanted.
It must be said that Doctor Zhu's medical skills are quite good. In addition, because he is the Queen's concubine sister, the Queen naturally values this chess piece of Doctor Zhu very much. After all, it is not easy to find such a useful person who you are not afraid of betrayal from.
So, when the time comes for Dr. Zhu to die, I just hope the queen won’t be too sad.
The three-month confinement period was up, and Jiang Chunxi naturally came to pay her respects to the Queen again.
"It's been a few months since I last saw you. You look so good and radiant. It seems that after being confined to your house for three months, you are living a very comfortable life!" As soon as Concubine Su saw Jiang Chunxi, she couldn't help but sound sour.
What a vixen she is. She is restless even when she is under house arrest. She seduces the emperor to spend most of the time in the Luanfeng Palace every month, causing her to only serve him in bed twice in the past three months.
"I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and the Emperor and the Empress Dowager send all the good things to the Luanfeng Palace. It would be strange if I wasn't happy." Jiang Chunxi's boasting made the concubines present look unhappy.
Of course, except for Concubine Wang.
"Don't be so sour, Concubine Su. You are always like this. I am really worried that one day you will become jealous and make yourself smell sour," Concubine Wang said sarcastically. "Besides, the emperor's favor for Concubine Chen is something that others can't even envy. Even if you die of jealousy, it can't change the fact that Concubine Chen is favored."
"So! I advise you to be more open-minded and not make yourself look like a nagging woman, which will make the emperor dislike going to your palace even more."
"Your Highness, please stop criticizing others. If you want to lecture others, you might as well take care of your own words and actions," Concubine Su sneered back, "Even if you are willing to degenerate and become someone's dog, you'd better consider your own status and don't really make yourself look like a lackey."
"It turns out that Concubine Su is such a self-aware person!" Jiang Chunxi sighed, "I thought that when I came in, I heard you barking like a dog, and I thought you didn't know that your words and actions were like a mad dog? But it turns out that Concubine Su knows that she is like a dog!"
"Who are you calling a dog?" Concubine Su glared at Jiang Chunxi and said:
"Whoever responds is the one who gets it!" Jiang Chunxi looked at Concubine Su sarcastically, "It was you who wanted to respond to my words, but I didn't have to scold you, so Concubine Su, please don't get angry out of shame. After all, it was you who wanted to admit that you are a dog, and this has nothing to do with me."
"Ha!" Concubine Wang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Why is Concubine Chen's mouth so lovable?"
"That's right," Jiang Chunxi said proudly, "Other sisters don't dare to brag, but I have a big mouth! That's what the Queen Mother and the Emperor like the most. They like my little mouth and my smooth talk."
"That's true. Even my elder sister likes my clever words very much, not to mention the Queen Mother and the Emperor." As she spoke, Concubine Wang looked at Concubine Su, "Concubine Su, I advise you to put away the anger on your face. You look so ferocious right now. Aren't you afraid of scaring Sister Chenfei?"
"People! You have to know yourself. There are some people you cannot offend. Even if you cannot smile at them, don't be so cheap as to find fault with them!" Then Concubine Wang sneered, "Do you really think I am easy to bully? I didn't want to argue with you before because I was too lazy to argue with you, but it doesn't mean I am afraid of trouble."
"Concubine Su always uses her background to emphasize the distinction between different classes, but why doesn't Concubine Su think about the fact that our General's Mansion is not something your father, a second-rank cabinet scholar, can mess with."
Concubine Su's father was a second-rank official, while Concubine Wang's father was a first-rank military officer.
There is no such thing as valuing civil officials over military officials in this dynasty. On the contrary, the status of military officials is higher than that of civil officials. Therefore, Concubine Wang's father is not someone that Concubine Su's father can afford to offend.
If Concubine Wang wanted to settle a dispute with Concubine Su and wrote a letter back to her parents' home to complain, it would be enough to make Concubine Su's father suffer in the court. After all, Concubine Wang was the apple of her father's eye, and the general loved his daughter very much.
Therefore, if the general knew that Concubine Su dared to cause trouble for his precious daughter in the harem, would he not seek revenge on Concubine Su's father?
Concubine Su's face was colorful, it was really wonderful. Seeing her wanting to be angry but trying to hold it back, Jiang Chunxi almost laughed out loud.
"The Empress is here."
"Greetings, Her Majesty." When the Queen sat down, everyone stood up and saluted her.
This was actually the most perfunctory gesture of Jiang Chunxi's. However, the Queen was in a good mood today and was not angry because Jiang Chunxi did not take her seriously.
"Everyone, stand up!" The Queen said with a smile and a gentle voice:
"The Queen seems to be in a good mood," Jiang Chunxi started to find fault as soon as she sat down, "Is it because you saw me that the Queen is in a good mood?"
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed tenderly, "I really didn't expect that the Queen likes me so much! But the Queen should not put the cart before the horse. After all, no matter how much you like me, I can't give you anything!"
"Instead of focusing on me, you should focus more on the emperor. You know, the emperor hasn't come to the queen's palace for a long time. Isn't the queen anxious?"
"You must know," Jiang Chunxi looked at the Queen's belly with a mocking look, "You must know that the Queen still has no children. Even if the Queen herself is not anxious, she should also think about the Queen Mother. You know, the Queen Mother is looking forward to holding a grandson, and she has been looking forward to it for a long time."
Everyone couldn't help but feel pity for the queen.
Look at the murderous and heartbreaking words said by Concubine Chen. I guess the Queen must be furious again!
The Queen crossed her hands under her sleeves, her nails digging deep into the flesh on the back of her hands, using the pain to keep herself calm: "I thank the Concubine Chen for thinking of me so much."
Without giving Jiang Chunxi a chance to speak, the Queen immediately said to the maid in the palace: "Come here! Serve tea."
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent over a few jars of new tea yesterday. It's a good opportunity to bring them out today for all the sisters to enjoy."
As soon as the queen finished speaking, the palace maid immediately brought up the brewed tea.
"Your Majesty is too petty," Jiang Chunxi pouted, "It's just new tea, but you think it's worth showing off, as if no one has ever tasted new tea. You should know that every time Jiangnan supplies new tea to the palace, the emperor always asks the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver it to me first. This has been a custom since I was a palace maid."
