Get pregnant soon, and beauties will have many happy pregnancies
Chapter 634: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 81
After the song ended, the woman in blue bowed while holding her pipa.
The Queen Mother stood up and praised: "Good! Very good! The song has a majestic meaning, which shows your skills. I like it very much."
"This dress is also beautiful, much better than the dull one just now, but the material is a bit inferior. Hongying, go to the storehouse and get some new material for Concubine Jiang. Why haven't I seen you play the pipa before? This is the first time I have heard such a beautiful pipa sound."
Concubine Jiang was flattered. She tried to straighten her back and not show any timidity. She said softly, "It's just a trivial trick. It's my blessing to make the Empress Dowager laugh. Thank you for the reward."
Jiangpin was holding the pipa. The maid Shaoyao beside her received the reward with a panicked look on her face. She whispered, "Your Highness has received the reward from the Queen Mother. Tomorrow, Concubine Xiao will definitely embarrass you. You played the pipa today. There will be gossip in the palace again."
"If His Majesty knew, he would probably scold you for bringing your Jiangnan habits into the palace and showing off in front of the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, I am really worried."
On weekdays, Shaoyao also thought of her in this way and considered everything for her. She did avoid some punishments and relied on Shaoyao more.
But today's words made her feel uncomfortable. When she was talking with Miss Ji just now, Shaoyao was stopped outside. Later, she listened to Miss Ji's advice and went back to change clothes and get the pipa, but Shaoyao tried to stop her in every way.
Facts proved that what Miss Ji said was right. She received a reward from the Queen Mother, but Shaoyao still had a bitter face and did not show any joy at all.
Not to mention the Queen Mother, she felt uncomfortable just looking at it.
After all, she was a senior maid who had served her for many years, and Concubine Jiang was not one to mistreat servants. She just said softly, "Go down first and deliver the Empress Dowager's reward back to Lanyue Palace."
Shaoyao wanted to persuade her again, but Jiang Bin had already sat aside with her pipa in her arms and started playing the second song.
Hongying asked Shaoyao to leave, and said with a fake smile: "You are such an unruly person! It is not your place to say anything about what the master wants to do. Concubine Jiang is just too kind-hearted. She allows you to be lawless. If you were in Kunning Palace, she would have slapped you in the face long ago!"
"You don't have to come again. When the Queen Mother is satisfied, she will naturally send someone to escort Concubine Jiang back to the palace."
Shaoyao listened to the sound of the pipa in the room and the Empress Dowager's laughter and chatter, and she wanted to rush in and pull Concubine Jiang out.
After meeting Miss Ji today, Concubine Jiang acted very strangely, insisting on having her own way and totally ignoring her advice. If any trouble was caused, the people of Lanyue Palace would be the ones to suffer.
Shaoyao had no other choice but to stamp her feet unwillingly and walk away holding the cloth.
The Queen Mother listened to several pieces of music in succession, including passionate war songs, graceful Jiangnan tunes, and elegant folk songs, which were better than those played by the court musicians.
"Okay, let's stop here today. Watch out for your hands. Huan'er said that you are proficient in playing the zither, the harp, and the flute. You can also sing and perform opera. You are really multi-talented."
Concubine Jiang's fingers were slightly red, but it didn't hurt much. She remembered that when she first entered the palace, His Majesty loved to listen to her playing the pipa, and he would listen for most of the day. Even though it hurt a lot, she didn't dare to stop, for fear of missing the opportunity to serve His Majesty.
But the Queen Mother would be concerned about her pain in her hand.
Jiangpin put down her pipa and pretended to roll up her sleeves, her blue skirt fluttering. "Then I will sing a song for the Empress Dowager."
Jiang Bin received a lot of praise today. Even though she was a little tired, she always had a smile on her face and became more confident and lively.
The Queen Mother just listened to the song and was fine with it. She had no hobby of tormenting the concubines. She just wanted to have some fun.
After sitting for a long time, the Queen Mother wanted to go out and stretch her muscles.
Ji Yunhuan accompanied the empress dowager in playing pot tossing. He always fell short by a bit, while the empress dowager did well to throw in a lot.
Ji Yunhuan clapped his hands and said, "Grandma Empress is still as skilled as ever, and never fails to hit the target. I am ashamed of myself for not being able to match her."
The Queen Mother tapped Ji Yunhuan's nose with her finger and scolded with a smile, "You mischievous ghost, you are as good as your mother, how could you miss the target? You only know how to make me happy."
"You think I can't see because of my old eyesight, but the mouth of the pot here is so big that it can be thrown in naturally."
Ji Yunhuan held the empress dowager's arm and said with a smile, "Grandma is indeed wise and intelligent. She saw through it at a glance. In the final analysis, it is because you have good aim. If you don't believe me, let Aunt Song shoot, she will definitely miss."
The queen resigned herself to her fate and started to toss arrows into a pot. She threw all over the place and missed the target. As expected, she again drew a wave of ridicule from the empress dowager.
"Laugh, laugh. You have to laugh every time. Huan'er, you did it on purpose. You knew I'm not good at this, but you still arranged this on purpose."
"Let's compete in poetry. If you lose, you have to drink. Huan'er, just wait. I will get you drunk today."
"Come on, I'm not afraid of anyone! I've also trained myself to be like my mom, I can drink a lot without getting drunk!"
Ji Yunhuan is very arrogant. He doesn’t know if he can win, but he must show his momentum!
Concubine Jiang was rather reserved and could not participate in these various games, so she just poured tea and wine on the side, staying quiet and not saying much.
The noise continued until dusk. The empress dowager invited everyone to have dinner before sending a carriage to see Ji Yunhuan off reluctantly.
The Queen and Concubine Jiang came out of Kunning Palace. Concubine Jiang lagged behind half a step, lowered her head, and looked a little nervous. Although the Queen often helped her, she always spoke up for her in public, and she had never been alone with the Queen.
The queen had drunk quite a bit of wine and was a little tipsy. She staggered as she walked, and instead of the calm and composed appearance she usually pretended to be, she looked impatient and irritable.
She pulled Jiang Bin over and said, "Why are you so far away? Can I eat you?"
Concubine Jiang could only walk side by side with the Queen, holding her with one hand for fear that she would fall.
"My lady, please be careful."
The Queen suddenly got angry, "I was careful? Am I not careful enough? I managed the harem diligently and didn't dare to slack off for a moment, but Concubine Lan still had a miscarriage! Concubine Lan was disobedient and insisted on coming out to enjoy the flowers. Can you blame me for this?"
"The emperor is totally unreasonable! He said that I just lost my son, so he can't bear to see other children born in the palace. Yuwen Hong is such a bastard! I have known him for so many years in vain, but he doesn't believe me!"
"I don't want to manage the harem for him. There are so many troubles. Whoever wants to manage it can do it. Concubine Xiao manages it really well. No matter how many troubles there are in the palace, the murderer can be found in the end. She is innocent and clean!"
The queen leaned close to Jiangpin's ear and laughed like a mischievous child, "Let me tell you, Yuwenhong is not good enough! Every time before he favors his concubines, he has to take medicine first, hahaha..."
Jiangpin didn't even dare to breathe. She was almost scared to death. Was this something she could listen to? When the queen sobered up, she wouldn't kill her to silence her, would she?
