Chapter 173: Protection
On Jiang Wu's way back to the Yangxin Palace, many of the palace maids and officials she met along the way looked at her and pointed at her, but they couldn't hear what they said.
Jiang Wu didn't know what was going on, and he didn't take it to heart.
"Yo, it's Miss Jiang Wu."
Jiang Wu looked at the three palace maids in front of her, they were from the flower room, and she had seen them a few times when she went to the flower room to pick flowers.
Jiang Wu smiled lightly at the three of them, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Yo, Miss Jiang Wu is leaving?"
"Is there anything else?" She asked.
"Look, how arrogant our Jiang Wu girl is."
"That's not, how can we compare with Miss Jiang Wu now, Miss Jiang Wu is a celebrity around the emperor, and ah......"
Jiang Wu looked at the three of them, and the person who spoke covered his lips and slanted at her, with an intriguing meaning in his eyes, and such a look was very uncomfortable.
She frowned, "If nothing else, I'll have to leave beforehand." She was about to leave.
As soon as he was about to bypass the three of them, he was stopped in his way.
"Miss Jiang Wu, are you really as everyone legends, do you think you have flown on a branch?"
Jiang Wu's brows furrowed even deeper, "What the hell do you want to say?" She doesn't like the weird attitude of these people, who don't speak clearly.
"Miss Jiang Wu, we know that you are not ordinary now, but there is a saying, we are kind enough to give it to you, what about people, you are self-aware, do you really think that by the emperor's side, with something, this status can leap up? Don't be stupid, I think, you haven't forgotten who you were, right? ”
Jiang Wu breathed heavily.
Original Identity-
Prisoners.
She hasn't forgotten.
"This ordinary palace maid may still have a thought, maybe the emperor is happy, and the lucky one becomes a beloved, but you ...... Although you are not a slave now, this former fact cannot be changed, in Daliang, there has never been a slave promoted to master. ”
Jiang Wu pursed her lips tightly, listening to the cynicism of the three.
"So, even if you are favored, this identity still can't be changed, so don't be delusional!"
Jiang Wu blinked lightly, and after the three of them finished speaking, he slowly started his voice: "Have you finished speaking, sisters?" ”
The three of them were stunned.
Jiang Wu curled her lips and smiled, "After the sisters have something to say, Xiao Wu will retire first." With that, she turned sideways and walked around.
Jiang Wu's light breeze was unexpected, and even the internal officials and palace maids who were watching from the side were surprised, she was so humiliated, and she could still not change her face.
Just when Jiang Wu had just bypassed the three of them, suddenly!
She tripped under her feet, and the whole person fell to the ground unprepared, and the laughter of the palace people suddenly sounded around her.
"Miss Jiang Wu, look at you, although your identity is small, you don't want to tell us like this." One of them crouched down and looked at her mockingly.
Jiang Wu stood up, her hands were on the ground, her palms and wrists were rubbed, her eyes were sour, and there was a steady stream of ridicule and sarcasm in her ears.
"Is it fun to talk so fast?" Jiang Wu said softly.
The squatting palace maid was stunned, "What? ”
"If you are so quick to talk and do such a thing, didn't my sister think about the consequences?" Jiang Wu asked again.
"The consequences?"
"Do you want to tell the emperor and let the emperor punish us?"
Jiang Wu didn't speak.
"You fell on your own, what does it have to do with us? Or do you want to slander us? Everyone saw this, and we didn't let you wrestle. The person who spoke glanced at the palace people around him.
Jiang Wu looked at it, and several palace people looked at each other.
She softened her expression, and understood.
Although she is the person next to Yun Rongjue, but in this palace, there are too many related relationships, these palace people do things on weekdays, you help me, I help you, it's all for convenience, for her alone, it's not worth offending people.
Jiang Wu didn't say anything more, and was about to stand up, "Eh, or we can help you." As she spoke, the man was about to stretch out his hand to her, but she was about to refuse.
Suddenly!
"Eh, what's the matter with you, I'm kind enough to help you, you don't know what to do, push me back?"
Jiang Wu: ???
"I didn't push you." After Jiang Wu said a word, she stood up, and she patted the ash on her body.
"You obviously pushed it!"
The three of them did not give up.
"What are you all talking about!" A familiar voice sounded, and Jiang Wu turned his head to see that it was Hexiang, the personal maid beside Mrs. Zhang.
"Lotus girl, it's this Jiang Wu ......" The three of them saw that it was Lotus Xiang, and hurriedly rushed up to meet it, turning things upside down.
Hexiang looked at Jiang Wu and smiled slightly, "Miss Jiang Wu, I know that you are the person next to the emperor and the most favored by the emperor, but there are rules in this palace, although the girl is favored by the emperor, but ...... You can't ignore the non-existence of the rules in the palace, right? ”
"Miss Hexiang laughed, I didn't, Fang Cai misunderstood, I didn't push her, and she came to find trouble first." Jiang Wu said.
Although she has a soft temperament, she doesn't like to be bullied for no reason.
Hexiang smiled in a low voice, "Miss Jiang Wu, now in the palace, who doesn't know that you are the most favored by the emperor, saying that they are so bold as to bully you, this is ...... Unlikely. ”
"How could it not be? Just because I'm waiting by the emperor's side, is it only possible for me to bully them? Miss Hexiang didn't see it with her own eyes, so why did she listen to what they said, and concluded that it was Xiao Wu's responsibility. Jiang Wu said.
"Miss Jiang Wu, you should pay attention to what you say, Miss Hexiang is the person next to Mrs. Zhang." The person next to Hexiang said.
"Xiao Wu knows."
Hexiang raised her eyes, "Miss Jiang Wu knows? I thought that after the girl spent the night alone outside the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve and outside the imperial palace, she had forgotten all this. ”
Jiang Wu's eyebrows crossed with a touch of disgust, and she reminded lightly: "Sister Hexiang is also an old man in the palace, and she should know that it is not right to talk about the emperor." ”
The emotion on Hexiang's face suddenly froze, she choked up, and pulled out a smile, "Thank you Miss Jiang Wu for reminding me, the same words Miss Jiang Wu wants me to remember, and I also hope that Miss Jiang Wu remembers." ”
Rao Rao was noisy, not far away, Yun Rongjue looked at it with a calm face.
"The Emperor's ......"
Chai Neiguan was just about to call, Yun Rongjue raised his hand and walked over. Chai Neiguan hurriedly followed.
"What are you arguing about?"
When the noisy few people saw Yun Rongjue, their faces were pale, "See the emperor." ”
Jiang Wu was just about to bow down, but was stopped by Yun Rongjue, he saw the little girl's slightly frowning eyebrows, lowered her eyes slightly, and the scars on her hands fell into his eyes, making his eyes covered with a layer of gloom.
"How did it hurt?" He whispered.
A few people who were still arrogant just now were half-kneeling on the ground at the moment, hearing Yun Rongjue's words, and looking at Jiang Wu nervously.
Jiang Wu looked at them and moved away for a moment, "Back to the emperor, it was the slave maid who was careless, and it was no big deal." ”
Yun Rongjue looked at the few people next to him, "Yes, then you might as well tell me, what are you guys doing when you're so lively?" ”
There was a moment of silence for a few people, and after a long time, the person who took the lead just now replied slowly: "Go back...... Back to the emperor, the slaves and maids happened to meet ...... When I met Jiang Wu, I chatted with the girl for a few words. ”
Yun Rongjue's eyes were slightly deep, "Small talk? ”
"Yes......"
"Chai Neiguan, these people, one of them beat five boards, and sent to the Huanyi Bureau for a month of hard labor." Yun Rongjue said.
"The emperor forgives the sin, and the slaves and maids know that they are wrong."
Those people begged for mercy in a panic.
Yun Rongjue ignored it, his eyes fell on He Xiang, who instinctively swallowed her saliva, afraid of her eyes, "You are the person next to Mrs. Zhang." ”
"Back to the emperor, the slave maid is, Mrs. Zhang's dowry girl, Hexiang."
Jiang Wu looked at Hexiang, Hexiang was smart, and when answering Yun Rongjue, he also deliberately mentioned that he was Zhang Ruo's marrying girl, although Yun Rongjue didn't like Zhang Ruo, but he could face up and harem, and some of the work on the face had to be done.
"Since you are an old man next to Mrs. Zhang, you should know the rules even more, these little ones are ignorant, you should mention more." Yun Rongjue said.
Hexiang nodded repeatedly, "The slave understands." ”
Yun Rongjue opened his eyes and led Jiang Wu towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.
After Yun Rongjue left, several people suddenly seemed to wilt, "Sister Hexiang, you want to help us, we are all ...... It's all about listening to Mrs. Zhang. "Small composition
Hexiang curled her lips, "Don't worry, Mrs. has a lot of money about this." ”
……
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
Yun Rongjue came back with Jiang Wu and sent the imperial doctor over.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Wu is fine." Her hands were just scratching some skin, and it didn't matter.
Yun Rongjue only glanced at the Imperial Doctor, who smiled and checked the injuries on Jiang Wu's hands.
After a while, the imperial physician said to Yun Rongjue, Jiang Wu's hand injuries were all skin injuries, no major problems, and they would get better if they were wiped with some medicine.
After the imperial doctor left, Yun Rongjue looked at Jiang Wu's hand for a long time.
Jiang Wu looked at Yun Rongjue and couldn't guess his emotions at the moment, "Your Majesty." She called.
Yun Rongjue was silent. After a long time, he spoke slowly, "I have something to discuss with you. ”
Jiang Wu looked at Yun Rongjue with a serious and somewhat serious look, "What does the emperor want to say to Xiao Wu?" ”
Yun Rongjue clenched Jiang Wu's hand, looked at her, and spoke slowly.
Jiang Wu was stunned after hearing Yun Rongjue's words, and it took a long time to react, she knelt down subconsciously, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Wu doesn't dare." ”
Yun Rongjue turned dark and pulled her up, "There's nothing you dare, this is what I gave you." ”
Jiang Wu lowered her eyes, she had never thought about it, and-
"The emperor can't stand it." She said.
Yun Rongjue looked at her fixedly, "I have made up my mind about this matter." After he finished speaking, he summoned the official of Chai Nei and asked him to prepare the holy decree.
Chai Neiguan listened to Yun Rongjue's will to pass it on, he was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Wu.
"What are you doing standing stupidly, going to make a purpose."
Chai Neiguan hurriedly retracted his gaze and retreated again and again.
"Your Majesty ......" After the official Chai retreated, Jiang Wu wanted to say something, but was blocked by Yun Rongjue.
"I saw what happened in the palace just now." Yun Rongjue spoke.
Jiang Wu blinked lightly, and Yun Rongjue held her little hand tightly, "I haven't heard all the gossip in the womb these days, and I don't want you to bear that." He said.
Jiang Wu looked at the person in front of him, and couldn't help but ripple in his bright eyes, "Xiao Wu is okay." ”
Yun Rongjue looked at the little girl, her thin lips pulling together.
Harem front court.
In less than half a day, the fact that Jiang Wu was crowned as Jiang Meiren has been well known, and the discussion has never stopped since the official announcement of Chainei.
"It's okay now, Jiang Wu has this title, and in the palace in the future, life will be better." He Baoqi said softly.
King Shu's Mansion also heard the news that Jiang Wu was sealed in the palace.
Yun Huang's eyes were calm, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, the girl was sealed, which can be said to be unexpected, but it can also be said to be expected.
The fifth brother ascended the throne as the emperor, and she was the most trusted person around the fifth brother, and it was normal for her to be rewarded.
But......
He didn't expect that the fifth brother was really ...... Rewarded her.
With such a reward, Yun Huang knows what it means.
In the blink of an eye, He Baoqi saw Yun Huang's calm eyes with deep and complex emotions, and the slight smile on her face suddenly stopped, and slowly put it away.
"Your Highness, do you want to see Ze'er?" He Baoqi asked.
Yun Huang didn't react for a while, He Baoqi was just about to make the decision to let Yun Ze come over, but as soon as he spoke, Yun Huang stood up and walked out quickly.
"Your Highness!"
He Baoqi hurriedly chased after him.
"This king has something to go out, and the princess is going to follow." Yun Huang only threw down such a sentence, and disappeared into He Baoqi's field of vision like the wind.
He Baoqi stood holding on to the door, looking, slowly retracting his gaze, all his emotions turned into a long sigh.
In Yunhuang's heart, he still remembered Jiang Wu.
It hasn't changed.
"Princess......" The girl next to her called her worriedly.
He Baoqi sighed lightly, "Prepare some gifts for me and follow me into the palace." ”
When He Baoqi entered the palace and arrived at Jiang Wu's palace, he happened to see those internal officials sending things away.
Jiang Wu was awarded the title of beauty, and the palaces that Yun Rongjue gave her were all next to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Jiang Beauty." He Baoqi walked in and called politely.
Jiang Wu saw that it was He Baoqi, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Princess Shu." She instinctively bowed down, and He Baoqi hurriedly supported her.
"Now that you are a beauty enshrined by the emperor, it is unruly to salute me again, speaking of which, I should still salute the beauty." He Baoqi said.
Jiang Wu was dignified, "Princess Shu, don't say that, Jiang Wu can't stand it." ”
He Baoqi smiled, Jiang Wu hurriedly beckoned He Baoqi to sit down, He Baoqi looked at the beautiful palace, and said with a smile: "You have always been by the emperor's side, and the emperor has always favored you. ”
Jiang Wu's little face showed a touch of helplessness, He Baoqi looked at it and asked, "What, aren't you still happy?" ”
Jiang Wu shook his head, "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just ...... Xiao Wu felt that it was difficult to stand this, and Xiao Wu never thought of asking for this. ”
"Never thought about it? Did you never think about it when you followed the emperor's side? You won't be willing to be just a little maid, right? He Baoqi was surprised.
Jiang Wu pursed her lips, "Xiao Wu is not willing, it is an accident to be by the emperor's side, and Xiao Wu is willing to accompany him all the time, but these rewards, Xiao Wu has never wanted them, and they are ......"
She paused.
He Baoqi looked at Jiang Wu, her emotions were a little complicated, in fact, her feelings for Jiang Wu have always been very complicated.
At the beginning, she had a good impression, but later she knew that the person Yunhuang liked was Jiang Wu, and she was jealous of her, and later, Jiang Wu helped her regardless of everything, and she was full of gratitude to Jiang Wu.
A mix of flavors.
And now, there seems to be another one, called ...... Admire.
He Baoqi bent his lips, "Although you haven't thought about it, but since the emperor gave it to you, and it is what you deserve, these days, Mo said that it is in the palace, it is me, I have heard something about you and the emperor Chinese New Year's Eve leaving the palace to spend the night, if the emperor does not do this, it will be a harm to you, this title, I think, is also a kind of protection for you by the emperor." ”
Jiang Wu sighed and nodded, "I understand." ”
Therefore, although she couldn't accept it for a while, she didn't want to fall into Yun Rongjue's heart.
He Baoqi stayed here for less than half an hour and left, and after she left, Zhang Ruo and Jiang Sumo both sent congratulatory gifts.
Jiang Wu knew the proportion, and after the congratulatory gift was delivered, he went to the Jiaofang Palace, and it happened that Zhang Ruo was also there, so he thanked him one by one.
"I thought that this newcomer would only be selected in the show girl around September, but I didn't expect that this first newcomer was you." Zhang Ruo pinched his throat and said.
Jiang Wu had a gentle smile on his face.
Jiang Sumo glanced at Zhang Ruo, then stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Wu and asked her to sit beside her, "We have always known that the emperor favors you, you have been by the emperor's side for so many years, and it is reasonable to be awarded the title of beauty, and in the future, you must serve the emperor well and do your best to concubine instincts, you know?" Jiang Sumo said warmly.
Jiang Wu bowed, "The concubine remembered." ”
"Jiang Meiren, now we are waiting for the emperor together, some words are kindly mentioned to you by Mrs. Ben, and you have to keep it in mind." Zhang Ruo said.
Jiang Wu looked at Zhang Ruo and felt a little prepared in his heart. She bowed her head.
"Although you are a beauty enshrined by the emperor, we are all public concubines, but ...... Speaking of which, your original identity ......," Zhang Ruo said while covering his lips, "What was your identity in the past, you don't need to be reminded by Mrs. Ben, you can understand, so we all seem to be waiting for the emperor's concubines, but in fact, there are still differences, in the past, your sister also became the emperor's favorite concubine." ”
"You two sisters are lucky, but don't get too carried away for a while, this should be paid attention to the etiquette rules, but you still have to keep in mind, you know?"
Jiang Wu trembled her eyelashes, Zhang Ruo's words sounded like a point, but in fact, she deliberately pointed out her identity, a little bit of mention, a little humiliation.
"The concubine understands, and she must remember it." Jiang Wu said softly.
While the three of them were talking, the little internal official of the Heart Cultivation Hall walked in and saluted the three of them, "Jiang Meiren, the emperor asked you to come over." ”
Jiang Sumo and Zhang Ruo glanced at each other, the smile on Zhang Ruo's face froze, and Yu Guang glanced at Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu stood up and saluted the two, "The concubine retires." Then he followed the inner official and left the Jiaofang Palace.
After Jiang Wu left, Jiang Sumo took a long breath, and Zhang Ruo directly threw the grapes in his hand aside, "Take a look." ”
"I don't know what the emperor thinks, he really named that girl a beauty!" Zhang Ruo said angrily.
