Chapter 336 Shen Zhinian strikes back at Jiang Wange
"Madam, your handkerchief."
Jiang Sheng bent down and raised his hand to hand over the handkerchief.
His appearance was also outstanding among the mighty guards, as could be seen from the reactions of the young palace maids around him.
If one time doesn't work, try twice. If two times don't work, try three times. Jiang Sheng didn't believe that he couldn't catch the eyes of Concubine Rou.
The queen's personal belongings must not fall into the hands of outsiders. Even if she wants to burn the handkerchief later, she must get it back first.
Handan snorted coldly, took the handkerchief back from Jiang Sheng's hand, and said sarcastically: "Thank you! But why you again?"
Jiang Sheng didn't care about her attitude and showed a handsome smile: "I said it last time. I am responsible for patrolling the area from the Imperial Garden to the Qin'an Palace."
Handan asked coldly, "Then why didn't you go with the other guards? Why did you always act alone? I'm afraid you've deserted your post!"
Jiang Sheng really didn't understand why this palace maid beside Concubine Rou was so hot-tempered and had such a bad temper.
At other times, he wouldn't mind teasing this little hottie, but his mission in the palace was to be Concubine Rou.
"Miss, you are too kind. How can that be possible? The other brothers are patrolling somewhere else."
Jiang Sheng understands the principle that too much is as bad as too little.
The more he tried to please the women he had played with before, the more they became arrogant. He was hot and cold towards them, but they loved him so much.
So he came here this time just to show his face in front of Concubine Rou.
If you show your face more often, won't you become familiar with it? Then the rest will be easier to unfold.
Today's goal has been achieved. Jiang Sheng bowed to Shen Zhinian and said, "I still have patrol duties to attend to. I will not disturb Concubine Rou and will take my leave first."
Shen Zhinian's eyes showed disgust, and after returning to Zhongcui Palace, he asked, "Last time I asked you to keep an eye on that guard, did you find anything?"
Xiao Mingzi stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I have found out everything. The guard from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is named Jiang Sheng. He has had contact with the paper shadow girl beside Concubine Wen many times..."
Handan asked in surprise: "Could it be that Jiang Sheng has a secret affair with Zhiying?!"
It is a serious crime to secretly give and receive things in the palace!
Fuqiu shook her head: "Not necessarily. Didn't you see that Jiang Sheng has approached the Empress twice..."
There were no fools present. Even though Handan was not as smart as Fuqiu, she understood after she gave her a hint: "You mean, Concubine Wen wants to use Jiang Sheng to slander the reputation of the Queen?!"
"How can she be so vicious!!!"
A woman's reputation is above everything else, especially that of an emperor's woman!
Although the queen was pregnant first and Jiang Sheng entered the palace later, if the queen had any relationship with the guards, others would question her character and think that the child was not Jiang Sheng's, but not necessarily His Majesty's either.
If Concubine Wen's evil plan succeeds, the queen will be guilty of having an affair with a guard at best, or confusing the royal bloodline at worst, which is a heinous crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the family!!!
The most terrifying thing is that no matter whether the Queen has done these things or not, once rumors spread, His Majesty will feel uncomfortable!
Concubine Wen wants the queen to die with a stigma! ! ! 1
Not only Handan, everyone in the inner room was very angry!
Shen Zhinian's eyes were as cold as a pond: "Then give him a taste of his own medicine!"
"Xiao Mingzi, keep watching Jiang Sheng and find out his duty hours, daily habits, etc."
Xiao Mingzi bowed his head and said, "I obey your command!"
"Fuqiu, tell us to plant a spike in the Taiji Palace and let her..."
"Yes!"
After giving these instructions, Shen Zhinian glanced at the handkerchief in Handan's hand that had been touched by Jiang Sheng, and said with disgust: "Throw it into the incense burner and burn it!"
"Yes! That Jiang Sheng really soiled this fine Shu brocade handkerchief for no reason!"
Shen Zhinian's emotions have calmed down: "Okay, don't be angry anymore."
"Since Concubine Wen dared to do this, I hope she can bear the consequences of the backlash!"
……
Tai Chi Hall.
Jiang Wange was not like the noble ladies of ancient times. She was taught from a very young age not to show her emotions on her face. Her emotions were almost always written on her face.
Even the eunuch who was cleaning the house knew that the queen was in a bad mood because the day of her enthronement ceremony coincided with the emperor's birthday.
Ever since she had the idea of climbing onto the dragon bed, Mo Yun became even more respectful and attentive when serving Jiang Wange: "…My queen, you are so beautiful, don't be so sad all the time, you should smile more often to look better."
Jiang Wange said bitterly: "My canonization ceremony is destined to become a joke, all because of Concubine Liu's interference. How can I laugh?!"
Mo Yun was disdainful in her heart, but she still coaxed him: "I heard that recently the ladies in the palace like to find a maid from Ruyi Pavilion to paint their portraits."
"Although the maid was young, she was extremely talented in painting. It is said that the portraits she painted made the ladies of the various palaces very satisfied."
"My lady, would you like to call her over and give it a try?"
Anyway, palace maids are not like male painters. There are so many things to pay attention to when getting along with them.
Jiang Wange was in a really bad mood, and after hearing Mo Yun's words, she became interested.
Just take this as an opportunity to see how good the painting skills of the ancients were.
"Then go to Ruyi Pavilion and call her over."
"Yes!"
These days, Chu Xiyan has been walking around the harem and painting portraits for many ladies.
She was indeed very talented, and she was already very good at this kind of thing. Before long, a picture of a beauty appeared on the paper: "Empress Wen, it's done."
Jiang Wange walked over and took a look. The painting was indeed well done, but there was still a hint of disdain in her eyes.
No matter how lifelike the ancient paintings are, they are still not as good as modern cameras.
She gave a reward and sent Chu Xiyan back.
Soon, this matter reached the ears of Concubine Liu.
She put down her teacup and sneered, "Concubine Wen was just a member of the side branch of the Zhenguo Mansion. She couldn't even pronounce her name. How could she compare with the daughter of the main branch who was carefully nurtured? Does she know how to appreciate paintings?"
Cuizhu covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Empress Wen likes to show off so much. If she could appreciate paintings, she would have spread it to the world long ago. From what I see, she can only write a few sour poems, and she may not know anything else."
At this time, the eldest princess walked in from outside with her short legs, shaking the net bag in her hand: "Mother, Yun'er just caught a butterfly! The butterfly is beautiful, I give it to you, mother!"
Concubine Liu's heart softened, and she suddenly said, "I heard that the maid in Ruyi Pavilion is indeed quite capable."
"Cuizhu, send someone to call her over. I want to be in the painting with the eldest princess."
