Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 74 The Consequences of Eating Too Many Cherries

Ruan Liangying was busy at the side and smiled courteously: "The emperor specially told the master to pick out the best ones for you to send to Jieyu. Except for the ones in the Qianning Palace and the Compassionate Ning Palace, the ones here are the best, and they are all the masters one by one. hand-picked."

After Jiang Man gave up the silver, she gave Ruan Liangying another purse, "This is for Eunuch Zhao to drink tea, thank Eunuch Zhao for me."

Ruan Liangying smiled and said: "Jiang Jieyu, you are too polite, I thank Jieyu for the reward on behalf of the master."

After Ruan Liangying left, Jiang Man asked Lianqiu to distribute some of the cherries in the basket to Lianqiu and the others, and then asked someone to wash a plate and put it on the table, eating while looking at the potted pomegranate and jade sent by Emperor Yong'an on the table with cherries.

The materials used for the pomegranate jade potted plants are not so expensive. What is amazing is the workmanship of the potted plants. The whole potted plant is carved from a whole piece of jade. The pomegranates on it are all different shapes, and some have cracked The opening was opened, revealing the red pomegranate seeds inside. If you don't look carefully, it is exactly the same as the real thing.

"Master, what do you mean the emperor sent you a jade potted pomegranate plant?" Lianqiu sighed for a while because of the fine workmanship of the pomegranate potted plant, and looked at Jiang Man with joy.

Pomegranates always have the meaning of having more sons and more blessings. The emperor sent a pot of jade potted plants. Did he hope that the master would have more princes and princesses?
Although Lianqiu was asking Jiang Man, what she was thinking in her heart had already been expressed on her face. Jiang Man spat out the cherry stones in her mouth, shook her head, and said coldly, "You think too much, the emperor may just think of it." This, or seeing this, so someone sent it over, it doesn’t have any special meaning.”

Lianqiu pursed her lips and said, "Even if the emperor gave you pomegranate potted plants, it doesn't mean that, but the emperor definitely hopes that you will have more little princes, and the doctor Yun said that the vitality you injured when you gave birth to the second prince has recovered. Now, even if you have a child, it won't hurt your body, so why don't you drink that medicine, master?"

Ever since Jiang Man began to attend bedtime, every time after bedtime, she would drink a bowl of Bizi’s decoction. The decoction will not harm Jiang Man's body while avoiding children. If Jiang Man wants a child, he can stop the decoction.

Jiang Man glared at Lianqiu, and said with a serious face: "Don't mention this matter again in the future."

Lianqiu looked at Jiang Man's face, slapped himself on the mouth, and said, "I know I was wrong."

"It's good to know that you're wrong, and this time I'll fine you half a year's salary to improve your memory." After speaking, Jiang Man waved her hand and said, "Okay, just remember not to mention this matter again at any time."

Lianqiu walked out of the room with a shame on his face, outside the house Wandong pulled Lianqiu into his room, frowned and said: "What do you want me to say about you? You have served our master for so long, what is the master like?" Don’t you know? The master doesn’t seem to care about anything, but in fact he knows it well. We slaves can give advice on some things, and we slaves can only listen to the master’s orders on some things. That's it."

Lianqiu said angrily, "I...I am..."

Wan Dong said with a bit of resentment: "You just see how the emperor favors the master now, and you think it's not impossible for the master to sit in that seat, so you want the master to have another little prince. After all, there is one more prince. Just an extra layer of insurance, right?"

Lianqiu nodded.

"You are confused, you!" Wan Dong reprimanded: "The master is obviously not interested in that seat. The only thing she wants is to bring the second prince to her side to raise him. You actually made such a suggestion for that inexplicable reason. The master can only punish you." Your monthly salary for half a year is really light, so you should be given dozens of slaps so that you can improve your memory."

Lianqiu tugged at Dongdong's sleeve, and begged for mercy: "My good sister, please forgive me, my sister really knows that I made a mistake, and I will never make such a mistake in the future."

Wan Dong gave Lian Qiu a vicious look, and said: "Next time you dare to make such a mistake again, I will pull out your tongue for master."

Lianqiu covered her mouth and said with a terrified expression: "Sister Wandong, you are too cruel."

Wan Dong made a gesture to twist Lianqiu's mouth, "I'll show you what real cruelty is."

"Ah..., I was wrong, I was wrong." Lian Qiu smiled and begged for mercy while fleeing, "Sister Wan Dong, sister is wrong, sister Wan Dong is the most gentle and kind, not cruel at all, not cruel at all. "

The two quarreled for a while, fearing that Jiang Man needed someone, they packed up and went to Jiang Man to serve her.

Jiang Man was eating cherries while thinking about things in the room. She liked to eat sweet fruits, and these cherries were very sweet. She ate up a plate of cherries without knowing it.

In the evening, Jiang Man asked Lianqiu to wash another plate of cherries. She ate while reading the script, and ate up another plate of cherries.

The consequence of eating so many cherries was that Jiang Man woke up the next morning and got angry. There was a blister on her tongue and it hurt when she touched it. There was also a big pimple on her forehead.

Wan Dong and Lian Qiu looked at the big pimple on Jiang Man's forehead and felt a little worried. Even if such a big pimple was applied with ointment, it would take half a day to get rid of it, and it would definitely not be covered with powder. It's fine if the emperor doesn't call their masters to bed for a couple of days, but what if the emperor calls their masters to bed?

Jiang Man was not worried at all, "Don't worry, the emperor just came to Yufu Garden the day before yesterday, and I don't think he will call me to sleep or accompany him in the next few days."

However, to Jiang Man's surprise, Emperor Yong'an called her to accompany her again that afternoon.

After receiving the decree, Wan Dong stared at the pimple on Jiang Man's forehead, and said, "Master, why don't you call me sick, that you are not feeling well and can't get out of bed."

Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, and said, "Are you asking me to deceive the emperor?" Although one of the common methods used by concubines in the harem is to call themselves sick, the emperor would not accuse the concubine of deceiving the emperor under harmless circumstances. , but Jiang Man didn't want to lie to Emperor Yong'an about such a trivial matter.

Because some things are not a big deal when you are favored, but once you fall out of favor, it may be a crime of yours. There is no need for her to leave troubles for such trivial matters.

"But..." Wan Dong and Lian Qiu said in confusion: "But master, is it really okay for you to go to see the emperor with such a big pimple?"

Looking at Wandong and Lianqiu who were frowning, Jiang Man smiled and said: "What's the matter, it's worth the two of you, isn't it just a pimple, even if the emperor sees it, it's fine." She is not disfigured, after a few days Once the acne disappeared, her face was still the same as before.
