Chapter 3 The emperor who is not in love (3)
The next day, Jiang Yun went to the queen to pay her respects.
"Jiang Guiren came so late today, but you don't pay attention to the Queen?" Before entering the door, Liu Zhaoyi, the bastard next to the Queen, immediately gave her a blow.
Jiang Yun came in and saluted the Queen, "Greetings to the Queen, I am late, please punish me."
"Sit down. It's your first time accepting a favor. I guess you're tired." The queen suppressed the anger in her heart and said calmly.
Jiang Yun twisted her slender waist and slowly sat down on the edge, her voice was soft and charming, "It's hard work for the Queen to be in charge of the harem."
The queen rolled her eyes in her heart. This foxy girl was speaking more thoughtfully now. She couldn't even cure her crime even if she wanted to.
Everyone cast more or less jealous glances at Jiang Yun.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be held in three months. Do you sisters have any good ideas?"
In addition to admiring the moon and eating cakes, the Mid-Autumn Festival naturally also has to arrange some lively things.
The emperor would watch the music, chess, calligraphy and painting, sword dancing and singing. At this time, the concubines in the palace would naturally have to use their best.
Jiang Yun sat down quietly and listened to their discussion, but was suddenly stopped by the Queen: "What does Mr. Jiang know? The Emperor appreciates you, so don't hide your clumsiness when the time comes."
"Why don't you just dance with the sword? I heard that your father went into battle with General Zhenguo and killed the enemy before. I guess you have been exposed to it since you were a child, so your swordsmanship is not bad."
Who doesn't know that Jiang Yun's father is a lazy official, and now he is asking her to dance with a sword, obviously because he wants to see her make a fool of herself.
Jiang Yun stood up, neither humble nor arrogant, bowed and said: "Yes."
"It just so happens that the nanny next to me has practiced some tricks before. Why don't we ask her to come to your place every day and give you some pointers?" the queen continued in a gentle manner.
Jiang Yun raised her head. She recognized this nanny. She was the one who taught her about uterine regulation. In the end, she was whipped many times, leaving scars on her back.
"Thank you, Queen." Of course she wanted to keep him, otherwise how could she vent her anger and take revenge?
When Xiao Youyuan came back from the court, he heard that Jiang Yun had not come back from visiting the queen to pay her respects, so he immediately went to find her.
The Queen Mother came over early in the morning to block the crowd, and the maid behind her was carrying a large bowl of black soup.
Xiao Youyuan frowned subconsciously, "Mother, I don't need this."
He didn't do it before, but he got better after meeting Jiang Guiren yesterday.
"There are no heirs in the palace now. If you don't make up for it, when will the Ai family be able to have the emperor's grandson?" The Queen Mother squeezed her tears, "The Ai family will only live a good life for a few years. The emperor cannot agree to this wish before his death. ?"
Here we go again, this is the trick every time I don’t drink soup.
Xiao Youyuan pinched his nose and stretched out his hand, "Bring it to me!"
The Queen Mother then nodded with satisfaction: "The Ai family didn't mean to threaten you, this is all for your own good."
It's so kind of you to force your son to drink Dabu Decoction.
Xiao Youyuan complained in his heart, and after drinking the medicine, he felt the urge to vomit again.
Seeing that he had taken the medicine, the Queen Mother asked: "I heard that the emperor favored a little Chang Zai yesterday, and the queen went to the Ai family. The harem should get some rain and dew, and don't be too... ."
The Queen Mother gave him a look.
"I know." Xiao Youyuan left with a bitter face.
In Hualuo Palace, Jiang Yun felt relaxed when she heard that the emperor was going to the queen tonight.
She already has a baby in her belly, so the emperor doesn't have to come for the time being.
Jiang Yun went to bed early after eating. The next day, she went to the Queen's place to say hello and saw that the Queen looked much better.
"The Empress is looking very good today. She looks a few years younger than the new sisters who have just entered the palace." Liu Zhaoyi said coquettishly from below.
The queen smiled gently: "Yesterday, the emperor came to my palace to have dinner together."
It goes without saying what happens next, everyone in the palace understands.
Liu Zhaoyi looked at Jiang Yun, who was sitting quietly beside her, "Jiang Guiren, you have to get used to it. We have many sisters in the palace, and it's not uncommon for us to not see the emperor for several months."
"Sister said it is." Jiang Yun nodded obediently, her expression clearly calm and upright, but there was a hint of charm everywhere.
Water was filled into the soft cotton, but it could only go in but not out. Liu Zhaoyi instantly lost all thoughts of quarreling with her.
Jiang Yun returned to Hualuo Palace and saw Nanny Liu waiting for her inside, holding a sword in her hand.
It looks like I’m going to practice sword practice today.
It was okay at first. Aunt Liu was indeed teaching her patiently. Although she often scolded her, Jiang Yun could still tolerate it a little.
However, after only five days, she could no longer hide her thoughts, "My master has been practicing for a few days, and I think it has yielded results. I will check a few moves with my master first, so that I can go back and report to the queen."
"The sword has been prepared for the young lady." Aunt Liu changed a new sword and gave it to Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun took the sword and sneered in her heart, "Mommy, you must have done it on purpose. Get me a soft sword."
"It's just to prevent the little master from hurting anyone. This servant is doing it for the best of the little master."
"Then how do you know that the soft sword won't hurt anyone?" Jiang Yun suddenly rushed over and slashed the head of Nanny Liu without caring about any moves.
A section of hair was cut off, and it was as messy as a madman.
Mother Liu was so frightened that she knelt down and trembled all over, "My dear, please forgive me! My dear, please forgive me!"
"Mommy, it's better to change my sword for me, otherwise you won't be able to go back and deliver the goods." Jiang Yun said coldly.
Cuiliu was watching and stamping her feet. This grandma was so angry. She scolded her little master every day. She deserved to be taught a lesson.
Aunt Liu crawled and handed the sword to Jiang Yun, "I hope the young master will be merciful."
"Mommy is speaking politely now." Jiang Yun said with a smile, "Get up, we can't compete while kneeling."
Aunt Liu was confused, she just felt that this noble Jiang was not as easy to mess with as the Queen said.
After the sparring, Aunt Liu ran away, as if she was afraid that Jiang Guiren's sword would strike her on the head.
Soon, the Queen arrived, followed by Nanny Liu, obviously complaining.
"Come here, arrest Mr. Jiang for me."
"What are you doing, Queen?" Jiang Yun hadn't put down the sword in her hand yet and was about to insert it into the scabbard.
The queen was immediately shocked, "Escort me!"
Several palace maids rushed up and held him down.
"Mama Liu is an old man next to me, and you treat her like this?" The queen stepped forward and pinched her chin with her fingers, "You still want to assassinate me? Has Jiang Guiren forgotten his identity?"
Catching a glimpse of a bright yellow figure outside the palace, Jiang Yun immediately burst into tears: "The queen is unjust. I never meant to be disrespectful to you. I was just sheathing my sword just now."
"You still say no, you vixen, pretending to be wronged for no one to see. Do you still think that the emperor will come to your deserted Hualuo Palace?"
"The Emperor just favored you once, but you don't know how high the sky is. I will teach you the rules today."
After saying that, he squeezed her face tightly, digging his nails into her flesh, with a vicious expression.
She was so jealous of Jiang Yun's vixen-like face.
"How outrageous!" The emperor came over and pulled the queen away, looking furious.
The queen was stunned for a moment, then faced the emperor's dark face and saluted with fright, "Why is the emperor here?"
"Why, only the queen can use this harem?" The emperor looked at her with a warning look.
The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.
The queen immediately knelt down and said, "The harem belongs to the emperor, it is my concubines who have no choice but to speak."
Xiao Youyuan ignored her and came over to pick up Jiang Yun. He felt her whole body trembling and felt extremely distressed.
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
