The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

The beauty is well-bred, her body does not sway, and when she gets up, there is no trace of grievance or resentment on her face: "Thank you, your concubine."

After that, no one made things difficult for her until the time when she paid homage to Li Bin. Even Qin Zhaorong just looked at her twice and shouted directly.

Li Bin didn't do anything, she just said calmly: "Beautiful Beauty is both your Majesty's cousin and the Queen's cousin. I don't dare to accept the gift from Beauty."

Yi Meiren thought her words were a cry, stood up and said, "Thank you, Lady Li Bin."

Li Pin choked and said nothing else.

Afterwards, after the beauty and the low-ranking concubines had finished greeting each other, the queen gave some more flattering instructions, which were nothing more than "Sisters should live in harmony and serve His Majesty well."

Everyone saluted together and said, "I, my concubine, obey the Queen's decree."

After that, the greetings were dispersed.

Jiang Shiying returned to Jingyang Palace. Just after breakfast, someone from the palace came to report that the beauty wanted to see her.

Qiu Yu said: "Isn't this Yi beauty the same as He beauty?"

When He Meiren first entered the palace, she also came to Jingyang Palace to ask for an audience.

Jiang Shiying pondered for a moment and shook her head: "I guess not."

Judging from her performance during today's greetings, compared to He Meiren, Yi Meiren is much smarter and more stable.

She said: "Please come in."

Beauty Yi entered the palace, walked eight or nine steps in front of Jiang Shiying, saluted and said, "I have seen Concubine Chen."

"Get up." Jiang Shiying said, "Sit down, beautiful lady."

The beauty said thank you before sitting down. Then, without waiting for Jiang Shiying to ask, she took the initiative to explain her purpose of coming. She was here to give a gift: "It's not something expensive, it's the fragrance of plum blossoms that I combined myself."

The eldest palace maid behind her handed her a small box as big as a palm.

Qiu Yu looked at Jiang Shiying's face and saw that there was no displeasure on her face, then she stepped forward and took the box from Yi Meiren's hand.

Jiang Shiying said: "Then I would like to thank Yi Meiren."

The beautiful woman said: "Your Majesty, you are so polite. When I first enter the palace, I will have to rely on your Majesty to take care of me. How can I be worthy of my Majesty's words of thanks?"

Jiang Shiying smiled and said: "Yimeimei is wrong. I only have one-third of an acre of Jingyang Palace under my control. It is the Queen's business to take care of you."

Beauty Yi's expression remained unchanged, she stood up, knelt down and saluted, "Thank you for your teaching."

Jiang Shiying said: "Sit down, there is no need to be so polite."

At the same time, he held up the tea cup in his hand.

Seeing this, Yi Meiren said goodbye sensibly and went out.

Hongying escorted Beauty Yi out of Jingyang Palace. Not long after, she came back and reported in front of Jiang Shiying: "Empress, after Beauty Yi left our place, she went directly to Xianfu Palace to ask for an audience. The slave girl found out that Beauty Yi Before the beauty came to us, she came from the Queen Mother's Fengyi Palace."

Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Let's pay attention to see which other palaces she will visit today."

Hongying said "Promise".

Qiu Yu still held the small box containing the plum blossom incense in her hand, and asked: "Mother, is this plum blossom incense sent by Yi Meiren?"

Jiang Shiying said: "Just put it in the library. Keep it alone. There is no need to take it out for use."

In the evening of that day, Hongying entered the Dongnuan Pavilion and replied: "Your Majesty, Yi Meiren has visited all the empresses in charge today, and it seems that they all sent spices."

Jiang Shiying frowned upon hearing this. Spices are the easiest things to be manipulated. Yi Meiren looks like a woman with ridges in her breasts, how can she send spices? All the concubines and concubines in charge of the palace gave it away.

If she sends her away, something will happen sooner or later.

Sure enough, on the afternoon of the second day, someone from the Queen's side came and said that something had happened in Xianfu Palace.

Jiang Shiying and others hurried to Xianfu Palace.

After entering the front hall, they saw Lu Zhaolin and the queen sitting at the top. The imperial concubine sat in the first seat to the left of Lu Zhaolin. The imperial concubine's face was still stained with tears, and Shun Cairen sat with her in the last seat.

Not far away, there were several imperial doctors standing there. There was a small open box on the table next to the doctors, which looked familiar.

Jiang Shiying saw the ceremony, sat down, and then asked, "I heard that something happened in Xianfu Palace. I wonder what happened?"

It was the queen who spoke: "It's the spice given to the imperial concubine by Beauty Yi, and musk was found in it."

"Musk?" Jiang Shiying said in surprise: "I also received a spice from Yi Meiren."

Lu Zhaolin looked at her and frowned: "Are you ready?"

Jiang Shiying shook her head and said, "Let Qiu Yu and the others put it away."

The imperial concubine said: "Concubine Chen, please ask someone in your palace to bring the spices over, so that the imperial doctor can test them to see if there is anything dirty added to them."

Jiang Shiying glanced at Lu Zhaolin and saw him nodding slightly, then sent Hongying back to get the spices.

By the time Hongying went back to get the spices, the other concubines in the palace had already arrived.

When they heard that there was something wrong with the spices sent by Yi Meiren, many concubines changed their expressions.

Qin Xiurong said: "I also received a box of spices there, which is said to be the lotus fragrance mixed by the beautiful lady herself."

Concubine Jin said: "What I received is the scent of osmanthus. I like osmanthus, and I originally planned to use it in two days."

Concubine Jade said: "What I received was the fragrance of orchids."

Concubine Ning said: "Mine is the same as Concubine Chen's. It also has the fragrance of plum blossoms."

Li Bin said: "I received it too, it's a box of pear blossom fragrance."

After everyone finished chattering, it turned out that just as Hongying reported to Jiang Shiying the day before, all the concubines in the palace had received the spices given by Yi Meiren.

Someone whispered: "This beauty is very considerate in her work."

"No, she won't spare any of the concubines in the palace."

Yi Meiren stood at the side, her face turned pale, but she didn't say a word.

The queen turned to look at Lu Zhaolin: "Your Majesty, my concubine, since everyone has received the spices given by Yi Meiren, we should simply send people back to get the spices and let the imperial doctor test them together."

Lu Zhaolin nodded.

At this time, Hongying had already taken the box of plum blossom incense that Jiang Shiying had received.

Zhao Yuanshi personally took the small box, opened it gently, stirred it in the box with a small spoon for a while, then took out a spoonful of fragrant powder, put the fragrant powder to the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and stuck out his tongue to taste it. taste.

Then, I heard him say: "Your Majesty, Queen, there is nothing abnormal in this box of plum blossom fragrance."

After the words fell, Yi Meiren breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, other palace people came back with spices.

After Zhao Yuanshi and other imperial doctors carefully examined it, they came forward to report: "Your Majesty, please report to the Queen, these spices have not been tampered with."

The imperial concubine stood up suddenly, pointed at the beauty, and spoke with a slightly trembling tone: "Where did I offend you to make you target me like this?"

Yi Meiren anxiously defended: "No, I'm really not a concubine."

Li Bin interjected in a low voice: "I remember that when I paid my respects yesterday, the imperial concubine made Yimei squat for an extra moment and a half. Isn't that just for this?"

Concubine Jin said: "Just for these little things, I won't kill the emperor's heir."

Zhen Chongrong said: "The beauty doesn't look like a bad person who can do such a thing."

Qin Xiurong smiled: "Why don't we just say that we know people but not their hearts?"
