The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Seeing Ye Yuxiao's smile, Li Jiao hurriedly asked: "Princess Yingchuan, do you know what the imperial concubine's purpose is?"

Ye Yuxiao nodded, leaned into her ear, and whispered a few words.

Li Jiao looked confused: "Why does she want to find out whether I can recover?"

"Who knows. But since she wants to know, let's let her know." Ye Yuxiao smiled slightly.

"Then let's wait until I recover?" Li Jiao asked.

"Of course not." Ye Yuxiao shook his head repeatedly, "We will give her whatever she wants. Doesn't that mean we are fulfilling her wish?"

"Then what the princess means..." Li Jiao was a little confused.

Ye Yuxiao came close to her ear and whispered a few more words.

Li Jiao nodded repeatedly: "I listen to you."

After Li Jiao finished speaking, she called Jinxiu over and whispered a few instructions.

Jinxiu nodded and said, "I know this. I must have made arrangements to hide it from the noble concubine."

Li Jiao smiled and said: "Fortunately, the imperial concubine is lazy and doesn't want to pretend to serve me anymore. Otherwise, with her watching every day, this matter would be difficult to handle."

Indeed, Ye Yuxiao nodded: "Then let's start acting from today."

"Okay." Li Jiao nodded.

Now that you have decided to act, how do you get started? Ye Yuxiao thought for a while and said to Li Jiao: "Your Majesty, why don't you send Jinxiu to the imperial concubine now and ask her to borrow rouge and gouache? If the imperial concubine asks the reason, just say that the healing of the empress's wound is much better than expected. Duo, I finally have the time to dress up."

"Okay." Li Jiao nodded and said to Jinxiu, "Follow what Princess Yingchuan says. From now on, you will listen to Princess Yingchuan. Princess Yingchuan's words are my words."

"My slave, I obey." Jinxiu responded and turned around.

Not long after Jiayanyu returned to his room, he saw Jinxiu coming over, feeling unhappy. She thought Jinxiu was here to ask her to serve Li Jiao, so she quickly covered her chest and pretended to be in pain.

After Jinxiu entered the room, she bowed to her and said with concern: "Is your heart still hurting? How about I ask Princess Yingchuan to come over and let you have a look?"

"No, no, I just need to rest for a while." Jiayanyu said hurriedly, "I just delayed serving the Queen. I hope the Queen will not blame you."

"Your Majesty is feeling unwell, how could the Empress blame her?" Jinxiu said respectfully, "The Empress sent her servant here to borrow some rouge and eyebrow makeup from the Empress Wen."

"Borrowing rouge and eyebrows?" Jiayanyu was stunned, "Your Majesty is lying on the bed to recuperate from her injuries, and she is in the cold palace, what are you borrowing these things for?"

Jinxiu smiled: "After Princess Yingchuan checked the Queen's wound just now, she said that her wound healed very well, and maybe it won't be long before the stitches can be removed. The Queen was very happy and wanted to put on makeup. She looks energetic, but unfortunately she forgot to bring her rouge and gouache when she came to Leng Palace, so she sent her slave over and asked the imperial concubine to borrow it for her use."

Li Jiao is recovering well and is expected to recover early? Jiayanyu thought about it and said to Jinxiu: "If I have any rouge and gouache, I will definitely lend it to the empress. But when I came to Leng Palace, I didn't even bring the furniture and bedding, let alone the rouge and gouache. I'm afraid I won't be able to help the queen." Empress."

"Is that so? That's enough trouble for the queen. I'll think of a solution later." Jinxiu looked disappointed, bowed, and turned around to leave.

Jiayanyu looked at her retreating back and was very excited. He was really grateful to Ye Yuxiao for staying in the cold palace so that the news about her came effortlessly.

Jinxiu returned to Li Jiao's residence and told Li Jiao and Ye Yuxiao what happened just now.

Ye Yuxiao nodded repeatedly: "The news is now out. From now on, let's just follow the steps."

Li Jiao then told Jinxiu: "You quietly clean up the room at the back. I will be staying there in a few days. Remember, you must act in secret, so that the imperial concubine won't find out."

Jinxiu nodded and said: "Don't worry, your Majesty, I know this. Even if the imperial concubine discovers it, I will lie to her and say that it was my Majesty who took care of me and took it out for me to live in."

What a clever girl. Li Jiao smiled with satisfaction and let her go.

In the next few days, Li Jiao was beaming with joy every day. Even Jinxiu came out to pour tea leaves with a smile on her face.

Jia Yanyu felt more and more that Li Jiao's injury was about to recover, and she clasped her fingers and waited for Ye Yuxiao to leave.

Five days passed, and Jinxiu came to Jiayanyu again.

Jiayanyu suddenly became nervous again, and before Jinxiu could speak, he said: "Look at me, I'm so unsatisfactory. I said I wanted to serve the Queen, but in the end, I feel heartache every day, and I haven't even been able to go for a day."

In the past few days, she had not gone to serve Li Jiao even a day, for fear that Jinxiu would follow Li Jiao's orders and come to investigate.

But Jinxiu said with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked your slave to tell you that she has had her stitches removed, so there is no need for Your Majesty to go over and serve you. Your Majesty, please rest in peace and recuperate."

Li Jiao had her stitches removed? Is she cured? Jiayanyu was very excited: "Princess Yingchuan has left?"

"Not yet, I'll leave tomorrow." Jinxiu said with a smile, "Originally Princess Yingchuan said that the Queen was fine and wanted to go back today. But the Queen was grateful to her and left her to have dinner and wait until tomorrow morning. Walk."

"Okay, okay." Jiayanyu said continuously, but suddenly felt that his attitude was not right, so he quickly explained, "I am so happy to hear that the Queen has finally recovered. This is really a happy event."

"Who says it's not the case?" Jinxiu said with a smile on her face, "The Queen also invites the Imperial Concubine to have a drink tonight."

They were having a drink tonight, which was a good opportunity for her to sneak out of the cold palace and report the situation to the Queen Mother. Jiayanyu thought about it and declined decisively: "Your Majesty has finally recovered, and I should go to congratulate you. But my body is not up to par, and my heart hurts so much that I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

Jinxiu immediately expressed her understanding: "Then please take good care of your health, and I will tell the Queen about this."

Jiayanyu nodded and asked Xing'er to send her out.

At dinner time, a banquet was set up at the Queen's side, and the aroma of the food wafted to Jiayanyu's side.

Jiayanyu hadn't eaten good food or rice for several days, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

But considering the Queen Mother's important mission, she still told Xing'er to be a good guard while she slipped out of the cold palace.

The Queen Mother must have bribed the people guarding the Leng Palace in advance. She went out smoothly this time and quickly slipped into the Cining Palace.

When the Queen Mother saw her coming, she was all smiles: "Looking at your concubine's appearance, is there something going on with the Queen?"

Jiayanyu responded "Yes" and said happily: "The stitches on the Queen's wound have been removed, and they are having a drink to celebrate."
