Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

Chapter 709: Lean on It and You Won’t Be Tired

Concubine Xian was anxious, but she didn't want to make her mother worry, so she kept her usual dignified and graceful expression and said softly, "Nothing, I just wanted to come back to see mother."

Madam Jiang said lovingly, "Your mother is very kind, what's there to be proud of? You are in charge of the harem, so you must set an example. What will the other concubines think if you go to your mother's house every day?

Even if the emperor trusts you and allows you to come back at will, you should not be too reckless and must abide by the rules and etiquette, understand?"

Concubine Xian nodded: "I know, don't worry, mother."

Pulling Madam Jiang to sit aside, he whispered, "Mother, haven't you been worshipping Buddha with Princess Bei'an during this period?"

Madam Jiang smiled and said, "We just met at the Big Buddha Temple on the fifteenth day before yesterday. Princess Bei'an said that she had dug out a lot of jade from a hilltop she had rented before, and made a lot of money, so she came to the Big Buddha Temple to fulfill her wish."

The virtuous concubine's heart trembled when she heard this: "Did you dig up a lot of jade?"

Madam Jiang nodded: "Isn't it? Although Prince Bei'an is an idle prince, he likes to travel around the country, enjoy the mountains and rivers, and has a special preference for jade. He likes to buy jade from mountains everywhere.

The Bei'an Palace has made a lot of money from jade trading over the years. Otherwise, how could the Bei'an Prince maintain such a large expenditure if he were not an official in the court?"

When Concubine Xian heard this, she felt a little more at ease.

The information about the several hilltops that she purchased came from Princess Bei'an. Since Princess Bei'an made money, her hilltops would also surely make money. It was only a matter of time.

Wait a little longer, maybe you will find jade tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. As long as you find jade, you can earn back the money.

Mrs. Jiang saw that she looked a little uneasy, and asked with concern: "You don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm just a little too tired these days."

Madam Jiang said distressedly: "You, like your father, have always liked to take on a lot of responsibilities since childhood. It is not easy to manage such a large harem. You should not do everything yourself. You should train capable people and let them do it." Concubine Xian nodded: "I will, mother, don't worry."

Madam Jiang stroked her little hand and sighed, "Mother is confident in you, but I'm afraid you'll tire yourself out."

Xian Fei gently leaned her shoulder on Madam Jiang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Mother, let Zhu'er lean on it. Zhu'er will not feel tired if she leans on it."

"You are so old, but you are still so childish."

Madam Jiang said something annoyed, then took her head and put it on her lap, patting her back gently.

The virtuous concubine lay on her mother's lap, smelling the faint Buddhist fragrance on her mother's body, and her heart gradually calmed down.

He stayed in Jiang Mansion for most of the day and only returned to the palace after lunch.

I had just returned to Hanzhang Palace and hadn't even sat down to catch my breath when a bunch of housekeepers lined up outside to come in and answer questions.

Concubine Liang came over and wanted to talk to her, but seeing that she was so busy, she turned around and went to look for Xia Baozheng.

Xia Baozheng's Jinxiu Pavilion has become Jinxiu Palace. It is connected with the two pavilions next to it and is more than twice as large as before.

But no matter how big the Jinxiu Palace was, it was planted entirely with grass, all kinds of strange kinds of grass, all lush green, with no aesthetic appeal at all.

Concubine Liang was itching to help tidy up the yard herself, so she rolled up her sleeves and got to work, ordering someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone to draw a design first.

Concubine De and Concubine Shu came to play with Xia Baozheng, and when they saw Concubine Liang was going to design a yard, they immediately gathered around to watch.
