Chapter 204: The Old Enemy
"She seems to have seen you a few times in a row, and she has been a little gnashing her teeth at you."
"There used to be a festival in the town and in the country." Ginger tea is not hidden, and he is blunt.
"Huh?" Mrs. Shangshu frowned.
"Rong Pei has never been out of Beijing since he was a child, how can he ...... Could it be ......"
Jiang Cha nodded, "That's what Mrs. Shangshu thought, Princess Rongpei once sneaked out of Beijing in the name of praying in the temple." ”
"Heh, how dare you go against the grain like this." Mrs. Shangshu smiled a little more when she heard this, "The emperor knows that this is a crime of bullying the king, how about it, do you have evidence?" ”
"Not really."
The princess once threatened Jiang Cha to prevent her from speaking out.
But Jiang Cha felt that it didn't matter, first, she was not afraid of Rong Pei, and second, she really had no evidence, she was not like these ladies, thinking that she could use this to break the other party.
"That's a pity." Mrs. Shangshu frowned slightly, but quickly soothed, "But it doesn't matter, anyway, it will be sooner or later that she will fall off the horse, and it won't be bad for a while." ”
"Madame, the time has come."
The palace maid on the side came to urge.
Mrs. Shangshu nodded to indicate that she knew, and then took ginger tea to attend the night banquet.
To be honest, the banquet was much more boring than Jiang Cha thought, and she thought there would be something new, but she simply placed herself at the door to wait for her to save worry, and as a result, she didn't even see the emperor and the foreign envoys.
Guarding behind the door and eating something casually, listening to the singing and dancing in the center of the banquet, Jiang Cha listened to the gossip of the other little palace maids next to him while eating.
Then I learned that the emperor seemed to praise Concubine Shu, and because of the beauty of Concubine Shu today, everyone present was amazed, and after the banquet, Concubine Shu Niangniang was immediately promoted to the position of Concubine Shu.
When the feast was over, it was midnight.
Mrs. Shangshu who came out was full of joyful smiles on her face.
Ginger tea immediately followed.
The first time Mrs. Shangshu came out was to find Jiang Cha, and she patted the other party's hand affectionately, "Cha Cha, you are really a lucky star." ”
praised her words, Jiang Cha listened to her ears and was calloused.
On the surface, he still has to pretend to be modest, "It is a blessing for slaves and maids to be able to help Concubine Shuniang and Mrs. Shangshu." ”
"Cha Cha, let me ask you, are you willing to stay in the palace and help Concubine Shu all the time?" Mrs. Shangshu said.
"This ...... Madame once promised me that she would not let me stay in the palace forever. Of course Jiang Cha will not agree, "If Mrs. is forced to stay, if Cha Cha is displeased, she will ...... in the future."
"I see." Madam sighed, "I also told Concubine Shu like this, and now it is Concubine Shugui Niangniang who said it, and Niangniang is very grateful to you." ”
"Thank you and Mrs. for your love." Jiang Cha said politely.
"That's it, you can come out of the palace with me."
Jiang Cha has done enough for them, and Mrs. Shangshu is not a person who does not repay her kindness, besides, Jiang Cha's ability is obvious to all, and she even promised to take care of Concubine Shugui's body, so that Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry will not be stupid enough to go against her at this time.
After a busy day, it was late at night when Jiang Cha returned to the restaurant.
never expected that he would really be able to return to the restaurant safe and sound, Jiang Cha himself was a little surprised.
After returning to the restaurant, the first person who came to find her was the shopkeeper of the incense shop next door.
The shopkeeper heard from the housekeeper boss that ginger tea had returned, and the whole person was a little incredulous.
She drove the carriage to the restaurant overnight and looked at Jiang Cha's face, "Cha Cha, are you really back?" Are you back? ”
Jiang Cha heard the meaning of the shopkeeper, and guessed that the other party probably knew about the so-called exchange of houses a long time ago.
Thinking of the wooden box that the other party hid that day and didn't want her to see, she said, "Why should the shopkeeper be so surprised, isn't it a matter of course for me to come back?" That's how we made an appointment with Mrs. Shangshu in the first place. ”
The shopkeeper sighed, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
If Jiang Cha didn't come back safely, she was afraid that she would have to fall into guilt and anxiety all the time.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Cha said with a smile, "This is not like you who are in charge." ”
"Actually......"
The shopkeeper stopped talking.
She really wanted to tell everything she knew, but she had no choice but to give her all the old and young, and there was a big family and incense shop to entertain and support, so she couldn't do what she wanted.
"Okay, if it's inconvenient to say it, then don't say it." Ginger tea is still very empathetic in this regard.
From beginning to end, she didn't blame the shopkeeper for hiding anything from her.
She knew that some things were indeed involuntarily, "If it is so late today, the shopkeeper is willing to come over overnight, I already know your intentions, rest assured, the incense shop behind us will be open as usual, this business in the capital, the shopkeeper can rest assured to hand it over to me." ”
"Good, good."
The shopkeeper said three times in a row, "There is tea and tea, I can't rest assured." ”
A sweet smile rose at the corner of Jiang Cha's mouth.
The shopkeeper came just to confirm her safety, and when he found that she was okay, he left with peace of mind.
Jiang Cha returned to his room, and as soon as he entered the room, he smelled a rich and familiar aroma of wine, if he guessed correctly, it seemed to come from a banquet in the palace.
Frowning slightly, Jiang Cha tentatively said to the dark room without lighting, "Big brother? ”
"It's me."
Candles are lit.
Sheng Nanqi, who was wearing a Taoist uniform and a half-covered silver mask, appeared, he crossed his chest and leaned lazily against the window, "You're back?" Didn't you go to the banquet with you, why didn't I see you appear? ”
"You...... I'm not going to go too. Jiang Cha tugged at the corners of her mouth.
Sheng Nanqi approached, "I thought you already knew." ”
"You won't, enter the palace as a foreign envoy." Jiang Cha's eyes widened.
In vain, she deliberately didn't go in to avoid causing trouble, and she knew that Sheng Nanqi was there, so she went in.
"Didn't I tell you last night?" Sheng Nanqi said with a smile.
"I thought you were just wearing this in Lord Shangshu's house...... Or what kind of Taoist priest went to see the emperor, where did you think that you would be so bold to enter the palace as a foreigner. Jiang Cha touched his nose and muttered quietly.
She thought her every step was thrilling.
I don't want Sheng Nanqi to be much bolder than her.
"Have you seen Boss Yang?" Jiang Cha began to brainstorm, thinking and speculating, "Or is your identity prepared for you by Boss Yang, or is it ......?"
"Okay, okay, just saw me and said such a big string of words, aren't you tired."
Sheng Nanqi seemed to have drunk some wine, and the whole person was a little drunk.
He wrapped his hand and hugged the ginger tea into his arms.
"Stop talking, I'm a little tired, just let me hug me."
The sweet and soft breath on Jiang Cha's body reached the tip of Sheng Nanqi's nose, and it immediately calmed his own somewhat restless heart.
