In the apse of the palace, in the water pavilion, Queen Jiang's face was pale: "You really didn't do it?" ”

Jiang Yadan said aggrievedly: "Fourth aunt, although my nephew has never had a good reputation outside, when did he deceive you?" ”

"And where were you last night?" Empress Jiang felt a tightness in her chest, "You were in the palace all night last night—say!" What have you done?! ”

"There is a palace maid in Huanyue Ju who looks quite beautiful, and the nephew can't help but ...... for a while" Jiang Yadan didn't finish speaking, and the angry Queen Jiang had already picked up the dust in her hand, and pulled it at him without a head: "I can't help it!" You can't help it! You like palace maids, you won't come and tell me?! You speak a word of conscience yourself, for so many years, what you have seen in and out of the court, as long as it can be given to you, is a person or a thing, when have I not agreed?! How many times have I told you, the palace maids are all your uncle's people, don't touch them if they don't officially give it to you, when did you lack people to serve outside? You have to be unruly and cause trouble, right?! Don't be angry with me, you're not happy, aren't you!! ”

Although Jiang Yadan was stubborn, he was still in awe of the queen's aunt, and was beaten by her again and again, but he didn't dare to run, and when he saw that the queen hit him several times, he couldn't help but scold his younger brother not far away: "Nineteen! You're just looking at it?! ”

"Fourth aunt, please take a few more blows to vent your anger, so as not to get angry!" Jiang Yashuang, who has always spoken for him more or less in front of his elders, not only watched him being beaten coldly at this moment, but also said without raising his eyelids when he heard the words, "Although the starling brother has been obsessed with women all these years, he is in the prime of life, and the fourth aunt is just holding a whisk in her hand, even if she plays for an hour or two, it will not be a big deal." ”

Jiang Yadan almost wanted to vomit blood, thinking that he didn't seem to have offended this younger brother recently, right? I had the heart to scold Jiang Yashuang, but I was afraid that he would say again: "Fourth aunt, don't use the dust, my nephew will go and get you a root staff!" I had to hug my head tightly, and Queen Ren Jiang twitched again and again.

The queen was obviously very angry this time, and she pumped her arm to the point of soreness, before she threw the dust at her feet, and shouted: "You go back to grounding for me!" Don't take half a step out of your courtyard door until the summer is over, or I'll break your legs myself!! ”

"Yes!" Jiang Yadan put down his arm and said in frustration, "Nephew obeys!" He didn't believe that Empress Jiang would really break his leg, but it was okay to whip him a few times like today. Jiang Yadan has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he is used to enjoying it, and he can't bear the hardships, so the queen is still a little afraid of this threat.

Therefore, he had to retire in a huff.

Seeing him out of the water pavilion, Empress Jiang slumped on the chair and sighed: "How come I have such a nephew?!" ”

Jiang Yashuang said expressionlessly: "Fourth aunt, now is not the time to talk about this. ”

"I wronged you this time." When Empress Jiang heard this, she sat up slowly on the back of the chair, and said, "You reminded me yesterday that Xiao Ba didn't stay in the palace from time to time some time ago, and this thing may not have been done by him, but it may have been done by the old Gu family on purpose—but I can't rest assured, I insist that you go to the top of this tank!" It's my aunt who is useless, so you suffer this loss. ”

"The fourth aunt is serious." Jiang Yashuang heard this, there was still no expression on her face, but her tone softened, "It's also the matter of the fifteenth sister that has just passed, and the starling has always been that kind of person, but he couldn't find the starling in time yesterday evening, and the fourth aunt can't be cautious." ”

Speaking of which, the queen was put on the spot by the Empress Dowager Gu this time - the cause of the incident was similar to what Qiu Yulan guessed, Princess Lexin's palace people took a sachet and told the Empress Dowager Gu, saying that Jiang Yadan was rude to the princess.

Then Empress Dowager Gu was still checking and looking for more evidence, and Empress Jiang got the news here.

The queen naturally can't sit back and wait for her nephew to be convicted - the problem is that Jiang Yadan, a person who has a criminal record with the former concubine, don't talk about others, the queen herself listened to the palace people's confession, and immediately believed that he did it!

Therefore, in a hurry, Queen Jiang called Jiang Yashuang, the only one in the Jiang family with a good reputation, into the palace, asked him to put away the sachet he carried, and described Jiang Yadan's sachet as his! In this way, Empress Jiang had something to say when she arrived in front of the Empress Dowager Gu: "Many of my nephews really don't learn well, but nineteen is an exception!" Nineteen years into the present, before and after marriage, there is not even a room, which shows that he is not a woman! Not to mention that his daughter-in-law is extraordinary, although Le Xin has a bit of beauty, how can she compare with his daughter-in-law? Nineteen as for the idea of playing Le Xin! ”

Even outsiders think so - Jiang Yashuang really hasn't done anything to mess with flowers!

So this must be affected by the dispute between the two queens.

It's just that Jiang Yashuang, who was hurriedly called to the palace, asked what happened, but he didn't agree, because he felt that the time when Empress Jiang got the news was too coincidental: "Even if the Queen Mother doesn't know that the fourth aunt and you already know that she is inquiring about Princess Lexin, but you sent someone to announce that your nephew came, you can't hide it from the Queen Mother." With the queen mother's person, how can she not be suspicious? How will they not try to stop it? In the past, the Queen Mother caught a similar handle, but she always couldn't wait! ”

It's just that Jiang Yashuang can't be found everywhere - this guy had an appointment with the palace maid of Huanyue Ju to go to a secluded place for a tryst - Queen Jiang really didn't dare to take risks out of serious distrust of this nephew's morality, and thought that with Jiang Yashuang's good reputation all along, even if it was a top tank, it would be easy to wash it back, so she insisted that he recognize the sachet as his.

Jiang Yashuang couldn't resist her aunt and had to obey her orders, so she was later announced to the Empress Dowager Gu, who only made it difficult for Empress Jiang to win and easily let Jiang Yashuang go...... Only then did Empress Jiang suddenly think: "Sure enough, she was calculated by this old woman!" ”

No wonder the news was so timely this time!

But she had already pushed Jiang Yashuang out, and it was too late to regret it.

Now, although she slapped Jiang Yadan, the culprit who caused her to be fooled, in front of Jiang Yashuang, she still had some scorn for her little nephew: "Xiaoba really can't serve as the palace guard anymore, but now that the matter has not passed, I am afraid of people associating." When he returns to Beijing, let him change his position as soon as possible. ”

He simply regards the three thousand beauties of the harem as his reserve backyard! If this continues, sooner or later a catastrophe will break out!

"I just heard from Lady Lin that Princess Lexin's biological mother Qu Baolin was not promoted by Empress Dowager Gu, nor was she selected by the fourth aunt, but her uncle himself took a fancy to him from the palace people." Jiang Yashuang didn't want to say more off-topic, so she got down to business, "For this reason, Qu Baolin has always been cautious and small, never arguing with others, and he is not close to either the Queen Mother or the fourth aunt, just closing the door and guarding the children to live." And Princess Lexin and the Ten Princes are as temperamental as their mothers. The nephew felt that this time Princess Lexin suddenly slandered the starling, I am afraid that there is something else to hide. ”

"What else could there be hidden?" Empress Jiang sighed, "The old Gu family is also happy that I agree to end this matter quickly, obviously this matter was done by her juniors." Who else could such a person be besides Gu Yan? ”

Although Gu Yan, the prince of Guangyang, is not like Jiang Yadan who serves in the palace, it is convenient to hook up with the harem, but the difficulty of entering the palace is similar to that of the Jiang family, and there is no need to report at all, and he is very free to enter and exit. So there are a lot of opportunities for him to have an affair with the harem - this person's lustful reputation is not under Jiang Yadan, and it is not taboo for men and women.

At this point, after confirming that Jiang Yadan and Princess Le Xin did not have any ambiguous relationship, Queen Jiang and Jiang Yashuang thought of him almost at the same time.

"Has the fourth aunt sent someone to check on Her Royal Highness Princess Lexin...... Jiang Yashuang groaned before she said, "Is it finished?" ”

Empress Jiang said: "It's still complete, otherwise even if the old Gu family deliberately calculates with me, it will not be possible to settle the matter so quickly." If it weren't for the fact that Gu's old man turned too fast and was too willing to talk, I would really think that Xiao Ba did it, Le Xin was worried about suffering a big loss, so she went out and made trouble! ”

Of course, Empress Dowager Gu had to agree quickly, and Empress Jiang insisted on letting Jiang Yashuang admit the sachet, just because she didn't find Jiang Ya Dan at that time. If you find it, you will know that it has nothing to do with Jiang Yadan when you ask, at that time, the queen insisted on a thorough investigation, and returning her nephew's innocence is not a show, it is a real thing.

"My nephew remembers, the Ten Princes...... Handsome appearance. Jiang Yashuang was silent for a while, and said lightly.

The queen was stunned, thinking of Deng Yi, she suddenly understood, her face showed a touch of disgust, and she was suspicious: "If Gu Yan made up his mind with Wei Yong, Le Xin has always loved this younger brother, how can he slander Xiaoba?" She should have taken refuge in me! ”

"Fourth aunt, now that the matter of Princess Lexin has calmed down, it is said that the princess palace people were found by the princess for stealing her nephew's sachet, and she was worried that the princess would punish her, so she pretended that when the princess was not in the dormitory, the nephew broke into it and fell and was picked up." Jiang Yashuang said calmly, "So much so that the princess believed it and took the palace people and the sachet to find the Empress Dowager Gu to be the master—but now that we know that this matter has nothing to do with our family, what are you going to do next?" ”

Empress Jiang said: "The matter is a foregone conclusion, presumably the old Gu family has also eliminated the evidence of Gu Yan's entry and exit." I'll roll you up again, and if I turn it out again, it won't help, and I might even trap you. So this matter can only be admitted. However, such a thing cannot happen again, and any man who enters and leaves the palace in the future will have to ......"

Speaking of this, Empress Jiang frowned slightly and stopped.

Jiang Yashuang said: "Look, that's it: if you are angry, your nephews will definitely prohibit him from entering and leaving the palace." At the same time, if it weren't for the starling's ordinary behavior, you wouldn't be on this, so after this incident, you can't rest assured that the starling will serve in the palace again - didn't you still say that you want to change the starling? The nephew told the truth, for Princess Lexin, the Ten Princes, and for many people in this palace, it was a good thing that Starling and Gu Yan couldn't see them at will after that. ”

"If Lexin says Gu Yan directly and takes refuge in me, although I will drive Gu Yan away for her, I may not transfer Xiaoba for her." Empress Jiang narrowed her eyes and sneered, "So she deliberately slandered Xiaoba, although she offended me by doing so, but the old Gu family should be satisfied...... It seems that I have paid too much attention to the things of the previous dynasty over the years, and these children under my knees have become successful, but I haven't even noticed it! ”

If the female official Lin who took care of the harem on her behalf was here, she would definitely have to kneel down immediately and ask for guilt when she heard this.

But at this moment, Lady Lin was not there, and Jiang Yashuang said lightly: "How does the fourth aunt plan to deal with Her Royal Highness Princess Lexin?" ”
