Chapter 33: Blame the Ignorant
Pei Xuanling nodded, "Well, that's her." ”
Huang Dechang: His Royal Highness ...... also answered too briskly and crisply, right?
"By the way, speaking of Jiang Meiren, last time you asked the servants to investigate the affairs of the Jiang family, the people below have already found out, the Jiang family is the duty of officials, and no one embezzles silver."
Pei Xuanling frowned in surprise.
No one in the family is corrupt, so where did she get the money to eat roast duck?
Huang Dechang: "In addition, Jiang Meiren's maternal grandfather's family is also an official family, and the family is better than the Jiang family, and there are still people in the family who are in business." ”
Pei Xuanling: "It stands to reason that Jiang Meiren is in the palace, even if her grandfather's family is good, she can't take care of her." ”
The palace is not so easy to enter.
"Do you know that Jiang Meiren's aunt is a concubine in the palace."
"Who is her aunt?" Pei Xuanling rarely stopped in the harem, so he didn't know much about the concubines, let alone the families of the concubines.
"It's the Jiang Cairen in the emperor's harem, I heard that she will ask the palace maid to send some silver to help Jiang Meiren from time to time."
Huang Dechang said eloquently, "Maybe Jiang Cairen has a lot of dowry, and the emperor rewards her from time to time, so she will help Jiang Meiren." ”
"It's just that Jiang Cairen's monthly salary is only a few taels of silver, even if the emperor rewards him more, one person's share must be used by two people, which must be limited."
According to this, if Jiang Meiren relied on her aunt to help, but she spent a lot of money to eat roast duck in the East Palace, it would be ignorant to blame.
After all, it was not easy for her aunt to be in the palace.
It's strange to say, Jiang Cairen is obviously very favored, but he is still a talented person after many years in the palace, and I don't know why?
"......" learned that Jiang Cairen was Jiang Meiren's aunt, Pei Xuanling nodded and said that he knew.
Regarding the concubines in his father's palace, he had only heard a little about a few high-ranking concubines.
Like those with low ranks, he was basically not impressed.
But this Jiang Cairen is more favored, he has heard of it.
Several times when he went to greet his father, he also met this Jiang Cairen.
"Your Highness, since you have decided to take Jiang Meiren out of the palace tomorrow, the slave will go to Shiyue Pavilion to inform Jiang Meiren." Huang Dechang changed the topic back and turned around to go out.
"No need." Pei Xuanling stopped Huang Dechang, "When I'm done with the matter at hand, I'll go to Shiyue Pavilion." ”

In ancient times, there were few entertainment items, especially the concubines who were confined to the harem, and they were very bored all day long.
Therefore, most of the concubines have the habit of taking a nap to pass the boring days in the palace.
On the afternoon of this day, after Concubine Tang woke up, she sat in front of the dresser with sleepy eyes, waiting for the palace maid to comb her hair and makeup.
There are two maids who comb her makeup, one is responsible for combing her hair and the other is responsible for applying makeup.
Just as he was combing his makeup, a palace maid came in to report the grapevine: "Little master, the news that came out of the East Palace just now says that the envoy of the Northern Desert will enter Beijing tomorrow, Your Highness ......."
"Then don't you give me makeup, I'll make some snacks for Your Highness in a while." Concubine Tang didn't wait for the palace maid to finish speaking, so she was in a hurry to dress up.
She has to hurry up and compete for favor by sending snacks, and strive to let His Highness take her out of the palace tomorrow!
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know how to speak the next words.
Pursing her lips, the palace maid cautiously continued: "There has been news from the front yard, saying... It is said that His Royal Highness will still take Jiang Meiren out of the palace tomorrow. ”
Hearing this, Concubine Tang's slender fingers were holding the pink embroidered double butterfly handkerchief.
Jiang Meiren, it's that Jiang Meiren again!
Concubine Tang was so angry that she was angry with the palace maid, "I can't say anything clearly, I have to say it in two paragraphs, if you don't talk well next time, I will punish you to go outside to clean the yard!" ”
"The slave and maid should die, it's all the slave's fault, please calm the anger of the little master!" In order to keep her status as a second-class palace maid, the palace maid knelt humbly and begged for mercy.
Seeing that the palace maid was still obedient, Concubine Tang took a deep breath and barely calmed down, but it was still difficult to hide the loss on her face.
However, before she calmed down, she heard Xia Liu, who was grooming her, say, "Little master, the box of gouache sent by your brother is missing. ”
Concubine Tang: "There are several boxes of the gouache sent by my brother, which box are you talking about?" ”
