Chapter 179: A knife on the head of the word “forbearance”
Yu Jiuer had almost heard what was said and was about to return to the main hall when she saw Rong Waner and a group of people walking towards her in a haughty manner.
Rong Wan'er had suffered losses at her hands and also at the hands of "Yu Wushuang". Judging from the situation, this person has no good intentions!
Yu Jiuer told herself that this was the imperial palace after all, and she must not cause trouble here.
The group of people stopped in front of her. Yu Jiuer ignored them and tried to leave, but Rong Waner reached out to stop her.
Before Yu Jiu'er could say anything, Rong Wan'er said sarcastically, "Yu Jiu'er, weren't you afraid that the child would be snatched away, so you pretended to be dead and hid it from the emperor? Why don't you continue to hide it? Did you suddenly realize that you want to use the child to get close to the rich and powerful?"
As she spoke, she pushed Yu Jiuer.
Yu Jiuer knew that she couldn't beat her, so she could only endure it. She clenched her fists, shook her head and was about to leave.
But she was arrogantly pushed back by a girl next to Rong Wan'er: "My dear concubine Yu, what's the hurry? Talk to us!"
"People with different ideals cannot work together. I'm afraid there is nothing much for us to talk about. You ladies are all well-educated women. Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation by getting close to a concubine like me?"
Yu Jiuer spoke in a cold tone, trying to scare away these arrogant ladies from noble families with words.
But she overestimated them. Under Rong Wan'er's instigation, these people could no longer distinguish right from wrong. Various sour taunts rang out one after another:
"Since you are so sensible, how dare you climb into Prince Jing's bed?"
"You Yinshan people are so poor and destitute, are you so shameless? You even dare to covet the dignified Prince Jing?"
"The people of Yinshan are so poor that they can't even get enough food. Isn't it because you are useless? No wonder a little girl like you is clinging to this life-saving straw?"
......
Yu Jiuer was filled with pain when she heard these words. These words were like needles, piercing her heart one by one, causing her heart to ache.
Her people are indeed tightening their belts now, while the delicacies at the palace banquets are being thrown away by the princes and nobles.
She is useless!
She was too conceited and made big promises, but she failed to keep her promises, and was brought back to reality by a natural disaster.
Rong Wan'er pushed Yu Jiu'er again, and she staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.
However, it also instantly made her wake up from her self-pity.
Yu Jiuer smiled coldly. Even if the people of Yinshan were indeed short of food and clothing, it was not something that these arrogant noble ladies could scold. They had no right!
Yu Jiuer raised the medicine powder in her hand and was about to sprinkle it over regardless of everything.
Just sprinkle it on them and make these self-righteous noble ladies feel itchy all over their bodies. They will take off their clothes and scratch themselves in public, their clothes will be in disarray and their reputation will be ruined.
But afterwards, she will make the emperor dislike her even more; other noble ladies, concubines and princesses will push her to the peak of morality as a person lacking in virtue, and it will be difficult for her to make money from them in the future.
No, her money-making plan cannot fail before it is accomplished. For the sake of the people of Yinshan, she has to endure it!
There is a knife hanging over her head when it comes to the word "忍", but this knife can urge her to be alert at all times.
Yu Jiuer clenched her fists and put the powder back into her arms, patted her skirt with her hands, and was about to stand up.
But Rong Wan'er raised her foot and was about to step on Yu Jiuer.
Yu Jiuer grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands, closed her eyes, and prepared to withstand the kick.
In this palace, pretending to be weak might be her way out.
She could never have imagined that even though she was an orphan and had starved in the orphanage, at least she had never been bullied in modern times. How could she be bullied after traveling through time to ancient times?
So cowardly!
But she had to endure it. Thinking about the folks in Yinshan County, for the sake of the future, she could not be impulsive anymore. She had to endure it!
"what!"
The expected pain did not come, but a scream was heard.
Yu Jiuer opened her eyes and saw a strong force coming towards Rong Waner. The force was not strong but it made her fall to the ground.
She raised her eyes and saw a handsome man, who waved his wide sleeves and walked slowly towards them.
The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world. They are talking about him, right?
"Miss Rong, this is the imperial palace, please respect yourself!" The man's voice was clear and elegant, and it was very pleasant to listen to.
"Hello, Prime Minister!"
The many noble ladies who had been so arrogant just now immediately bowed and saluted. Even Rong Wan'er stood up and bowed her head with a stubborn look on her face.
Yu Jiuer also stood up and greeted him.
Who is this man and why are these noble ladies so in awe of him?
At this time, Jian Yi ran over in a hurry and asked Rong Wan'er, "Miss Wan'er, what did you give me to drink? I have diarrhea all the time!"
Rong Wan'er said innocently, "Isn't it just ordinary wine? How would I know why you have diarrhea? Don't blame me!"
After saying this, he fled in a hurry with everyone.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for helping me out!" Yu Jiuer bowed to him again.
He bowed politely, said nothing more, and walked away.
Jian Yi bowed to Yu Jiuer with a guilty look on his face and apologized: "My dear concubine Yu, I'm sorry. I fell into Miss Rong's trap. Are you okay?"
Yu Jiuer shook her head, looked at the Prime Minister's back and asked, "Thanks to the Prime Minister for coming to help me out in time. Jian Yi, do you know him? When did the court have such a young Prime Minister?"
Wrong decision. When she came to the capital, she should first understand the current network of relationships in the court with Jun Mo! Go home and do your homework immediately!
Jian Yi replied, "He was the top scholar six years ago. He served in the local government for three years and achieved remarkable results. He was then transferred to the capital and entered the cabinet. In just three years, he was promoted from a cabinet minister to the prime minister of the dynasty, becoming a sensation in the capital!"
"Awesome!" Yu Jiuer couldn't help but praise when she heard it.
As the two were talking, Concubine Duan came over.
She waved away her attendants and said to Yu Jiuer, "I just saw Wan'er leading a group of people away from here. Did you cause any trouble?"
Concubine Duan thinks too highly of her. Doesn't she still think that she is the little bully of Yinshan County?
The capital city is not her territory. She is like a plucked phoenix and can no longer show off!
Yu Jiuer said honestly: "My lady, Jiuer knows the seriousness of the matter and didn't dare to cause trouble!"
Concubine Duan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She softened her tone, held Yu Jiuer's hand and said to her earnestly:
"I know that with your pride, being named a concubine must be hard on you. But in the capital, only those who can swallow their grievances can make it to the end. I hope you can understand this truth!"
"Jiu'er will follow the Queen's instructions!"
"Also, regarding the abolition of the Yinshan Contract, I have tried to test the emperor indirectly and discussed this issue with Prime Minister Rong. We both agree that now is not the right time to mention it to the emperor." Concubine Duan said seriously.
"After all, this contract was made by the late emperor. We have just returned to the capital, so we must be cautious with every step we take. Since you have become the concubine of Prince Jing, I hope you can consider the overall situation and not act impulsively. With your current status, it is the right thing to do to abide by the law."
"Yes! Jiuer knows!" Yu Jiuer had something to ask of Concubine Duan, so she could only coax her first. "My queen, Jiuer has just arrived. Shouldn't we hold a flower-viewing banquet in the mansion to win over the young ladies and ladies of the noble families in the capital?"
"This..." Concubine Duan hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you want to do it... that's fine! Mo'er never cared about the power of the harem before. Now, you are the only mistress of Prince Jing's Mansion, so you should help Mo'er win over some relationships."
"But Jiu'er is a nobody, and I'm afraid the ladies and wives of the noble families won't buy into it. Can you please take the lead, Madam? Let the young masters and ladies of the noble families attend, and Jiu'er will ask the prince to take time out to attend, too, okay?"
Concubine Duan narrowed her eyes and looked at Yu Jiuer, which made her feel inexplicably guilty. She asked, "Are you planning something again?"
This Yu Jiuer is smarter than a ghost, we have to be on guard against her!
"My queen, Jiu'er is unfamiliar with this place, I just want to get to know more people! This is not Yinshan County, Jiu'er dare not cause trouble!"
Making money isn't illegal, so it shouldn't be considered a cause of trouble, right?
Concubine Duan thought for a moment before nodding and agreeing: "There are not many good flowers to appreciate in the winter. We have collected tea from all over the country all the way back from Yinshan Mountain. Why not hold a tea tasting banquet!"
Yu Jiuer agreed: "Your Majesty is still very thoughtful!"
As long as people come, we don’t care what kind of banquet it is.
"There are still ten days until the Lower Yuan Festival of the Great Dong Dynasty. I will ask the Emperor to leave the palace. Let's set the date on that day!"
"Yes! I will listen to you, my queen!"
After Concubine Duan left, Yu Jiuer straightened her skirt and dusted it off, then walked slowly towards the palace banquet in the main hall.
As he walked, he muttered, "Being untidy and unclean is disrespectful to the emperor. This broken palace is so disgusting!"
