Chapter Ninety-Eight: Finding Fault
The palace maid hurriedly responded and waited at the concubine's side.
The concubine's good face was bathing in the huge palace at this time, full of dense water vapor, and her face had an expression of enjoyment.
There were palace maids waiting all around, she got up slowly, and the palace maids immediately put on her clothes and combed her hair, very dedicated.
The concubine casually picked up a box of rouge: "This is what the princess gave me today?" ”
The little palace maid was a little scared in her heart, but she nodded.
The concubine carefully smeared it on her face, her eyes kept staring at herself in the bronze mirror, and she naturally had other thoughts in her heart.
The saint went to bed in her palace that night, but she didn't expect that the next day, the concubine's entire face was covered with red rashes, and her good color directly turned ugly and saltless.
The saint frowned: "What's going on?" ”
The concubine was not afraid of the saint at all and said, "I used the fat powder that the princess gave me yesterday. ”
The saint was very distressed by the concubine, he took her in his arms, and said angrily: "Call the princess to me!" ”
The people below trembled when they saw the saint like this, and after Zhaoyang knew about it, he immediately rushed over.
Naturally, there was a cry and crying, and the saint's heart softened, and he still hesitated between the woman and the daughter.
Zhaoyang looked at the concubine like this, and she finally felt much more comfortable.
It's just that the saint punished her to stay in her palace for a few days, and she was happy to be idle.
Chu Jiao couldn't help laughing after knowing about this, I'm afraid that only Zhaoyang can come up with this method.
Unexpectedly, the saint summoned her to the palace at this time, and Chu Jiao understood that he wanted her to treat the concubine.
Chu Jiao glanced at it, the concubine's condition was not serious, but she didn't want to cure the concubine in her heart, and it was too obvious that this matter was not easy to do.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's illness is not very serious, and it is not because of the princess, but because the climate of the Li Dynasty is different from that of this dynasty, and the concubine has symptoms of unadaptability just a few days after coming here, so there will be some small red rashes on her face, and I hope that the saint will not blame the princess."
"I see, I misunderstood, I'm about to untie the princess's grounding, and send some gifts." The saint looked like he had suddenly realized.
"Princess Qin is very eloquent, but I also came here when I was young, why didn't there be anything unadaptable? Could it be that this person will have other abnormalities in his body as he gets older? ”
The concubine said aggressively.
Chu Jiao could see that there was a sharp light in his eyes, this concubine was never as simple as it seemed on the surface, and the identity of the princess could be said to be very important, under normal circumstances, no one could touch her.
Chu Jiao's thoughts now are different from then, she doesn't want to test this princess anymore, because continuing to test will only continue to make the saint unhappy, and the saint is unhappy, and they don't want to be happy.
"Because of the different physique of individuals, this kind of thing is also common, I have prescribed some medicines for you, but these medicines still have to be taken by the imperial doctors first, there is no problem, in boiling the medicine for the concubine, so as not to make any mistakes." Chu Jiao said with a smile.
The concubine glanced at Chu Jiao meaningfully, but fell into the arms of the saint after a while.
It turns out that even if her face is not good now, her figure is still very charming, and the saint is still there for her every day.
But Chu Jiao didn't care too much about this matter.
As for the Shangguan family not forming a family with King Qin, the relationship between the two families has been a little stiff recently, and now that Chu Zhennan has returned to the position of prime minister, it is still a little unstable, and he needs manpower to support Chu Zhennan.
Chu Jiao understood this in her heart, so she deliberately took things to Shangguan's house.
Because of the last dynasty, the elders in the family were not there, and only Shangguan Ping and Shangguan Mei were left.
When they saw Chu Jiao coming, they didn't see it.
Of course, Chu Jiao would not find herself unhappy at this time, she just sat there quietly, motionless, waiting for Shangguan Nan to go down.
At this time, Shangguan Ping walked towards her, but was pulled by Mei'er's sleeve.
"What do you want to do? Uncle said, even if the family affair doesn't work out, there is still a kinship between us, and you can't make anything out of it. Mei'er was afraid that Chu Jiao would hear it, so she deliberately lowered her voice and said.
Shangguan Ping broke free of her hand and raised her chin: "What's the big deal?" She just relied on her identity as the prime minister's daughter and the concubine, so she kept looking at King Qin and didn't let King Qin accept the side concubine, do you see which man is not a man with three wives and four concubines now? What's more, a prince?
What kind of system does not have a concubine in the family? Is she worthy of being a woman? ”
Her voice was very loud, as if she was deliberately listening to Chu Jiao, but Chu Jiao always sat there precariously, as if she was deaf.
It was precisely because of this that Shangguan Ping was even more angry, she had been preparing for a long time, thinking that after she entered the Qin Palace, she would always come to the future, and the King of Qin would like her.
But it must be Chu Jiao who is in the way, otherwise, which man in the world would dislike many women around him?
Shangguan Mei felt that if there was a crack in the ground now, she would have to get into it, how could a girl say this kind of thing, she could only pull Ping's clothes again, and then whispered shyly: "Okay, okay, don't say it, let her hear it later, Daddy and Uncle will scold us." ”
"Afraid of what? If it weren't for the help of our Shangguan family, there would have been King Qin's triumphant return? Our family is a great hero, and the King of Qin relies on us. ”
Shangguan Ping was very arrogant, Chu Jiao closed her eyes and listened to everything she just said.
She didn't get angry, after all, in Chu Jiao's eyes, they were still children.
Reliving a life, she will not and does not want to compete with her relatives, judging right and wrong, not to mention that her mouth is long on others, and she can't control what others have to say.
At this time, Shangguan Nan went down to the court and saw Chu Jiao sitting in the courtyard at noon, so he hurriedly came over to salute.
"Hurry up, it's all my own family, I brought some things to see my grandfather today, and I saw that you didn't come back, so I'm waiting for you to come along."
Shangguan Nan had a smile on his face: "Why are you waiting for me at this time, it's weird cold in the courtyard, just go in directly next time." ”
Saying that, the two of them walked inside talking and laughing, and the two Shangguan sisters saw everything clearly from a distance.
Shangguan Ping looked at her father or Chu Jiao with a smiling face, and she was very unhappy in her heart.
No matter how he said that his father was also an official of the third grade, and besides, he was an elder, Chu Jiao was really excessive.
Shangguan Hongtian doesn't look as energetic as before, but there is still some brightness in his eyes, and his body looks quite tough.
"Grandpa, I've come to see you!"
Shangguan Hongtian loved her very much, squinting his eyes and grabbing her hand: "You, you look too similar to your mother, it's just carved out of a mold, I don't know, when will you be able to add a grandson to me!" ”
Chu Jiao's face continued with a smile: "It's still early, you can't be in a hurry about this kind of thing." ”
Seeing Chu Jiao's blushing appearance, Shangguan Ping rushed over at this time, knelt beside Shangguan Hongtian, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, why don't you let me give you a grandson?" ”
A large family laughed when she said this, Shangguan Hongtian's face wanted to be angry and wanted to laugh: "You girl who hasn't married yet!" I don't know if I'm ashamed to say such things! ”
"Hmph, people originally wanted to serve King Qin with their cousin, but they didn't expect my sister to disagree, hey, who can't let my sister be so affectionate with him? I'm afraid I can't either. ”
Shangguan Hongtian's face was briefly confused, it was obvious that he didn't know about it.
He looked at Shangguan Nan, who lowered his head and didn't say anything.
"Good granddaughter, let your father find you a side in the future, King Qin and your cousin have a deep relationship, don't have such thoughts in the future." Shangguan Hongtian patted her head as he spoke, and said earnestly.
This was not the result Shangguan Ping wanted at all, she didn't expect her grandfather to be towards her.
In order to avoid embarrassment, she can only be coquettish.
Chu Jiao talked to the old man for a while, and then called Shangguan Nan to speak alone.
Shangguan Ping seized the opportunity and eavesdropped again.
As soon as Chu Jiao came up, she lowered her body to kneel, and Shangguan Nan hurriedly helped people up: "What is this for?" ”
"I was taken care of before, but it was King Qin..."
"You don't need to say it, I know it, after I met King Qin that day, I understood his thoughts, this kind of thing can't be forced, but it's good that you can give Ping'er this opportunity, it should be me thank you."
Chu Jiao nodded, there are still people in the Shangguan family who understand.
"My father is in the court, and now is the time when he is struggling, and he still needs support, and he asked for help from Da Boduo." Chu Jiao said sincerely.
Shangguan Nan hurriedly said: "That's natural, you can rest assured." Chu Zhennan is also my sister's husband, no matter what, I will support him. ”
Chu Jiao was relieved when she heard this, the purpose of her coming today had been achieved, and there was no need to stay any longer.
"In that case, then I'll go back first, so I don't have to send each other."
Shangguan Ping watched Chu Jiao leave like this, she was angry in her heart, and she didn't understand.
"Daddy! What is she? Without the Shangguan family, can she be like this? Why are you so whispering to her? Shangguan Ping really couldn't accept it.
Shangguan Nan listened to her words and frowned slightly: "What are you doing with such words?" We first came to the capital, even if there is the emperor's canonization, now we also need to stabilize our foundation, at this time we need to report the group the most, the identity of the prime minister is above 10,000 people, do you think it's wrong to follow him? ”
Shangguan Ping listened to what he said, her shoulders also drooped, and her expression was not very good, after all, she was speechless at her father's words, but she couldn't swallow this breath in her heart.
