Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 720 Adopting a daughter and recruiting a younger brother, privately offering sacrifices to the dead (3)
After hearing this, Jiang Yu's tired face relaxed.

At this time, the palace servants came to pass: "Concubine Kang is asking to see her outside the palace."

"See you, see you, send her away. Didn't I already say that the emperor has approved this palace. If she wants to return to the princess, she can go to the emperor!" Jiang Yu scolded.

"It seems that Concubine Kang didn't come to ask for the princess, she said she came to apologize for what happened in the morning." The palace man reported again.

Jiang Yu's expression relaxed, and she said, this Mrs. Xu, can she turn against her for the sake of a princess?Lazily and reluctantly said: "Concubine Kang please come in."

Concubine Xu Kang entered the palace and was blessed. Although her expression was still a little lonely, she was no longer as anxious as when she came in the morning. She said softly: "I didn't realize it all at once in the morning. I was a little rude. I hope Concubine Hui doesn't mind. Too much, I think about it, I am really too narrow-minded, Concubine Hui has always taken care of my concubine, and has always had a good relationship with my concubine, so can I still treat Dingyi badly? Dingyi can get more concubines, It's also her blessing, besides, Concubine Hui has a reason, so why doesn't this concubine help me with such a little help? Thinking about it this way, concubine, alas, is simply confused!"

Jiang Yu felt very comfortable when she heard it, and took her hand to sit down: "If you can figure it out, I can rest assured. We have such a good relationship. Isn't your daughter the daughter of Ben Gong? Nurturing, when I have a body, I will find another reason to return the appointment to you."

Concubine Xu Kang's cheeks twitched imperceptibly, and her heart groaned, no matter how good the relationship is, can the children still send you off?When you have a body, what if you don't have it for the rest of your life?But he forced a smile: "Okay, okay, oh yes, at this hour, Dingyi should have already fallen asleep, right?"

Seeing her looking around, Jiang Yu knew that she was thinking about her daughter, so she must still be a little bit reluctant to leave suddenly. Since she was wronged and flattered her daughter, she also treated her as a good person, saying: "Well, Dingyi is here. My child, you are so well-behaved, I also hit it off with Bengong, I like her very much, I talked to her all night, and was just taken to the room by the nanny, if Concubine Kang wants to see it, go in and have a look."

Concubine Xu Kang hurriedly got up, grateful: "Thank you Concubine Hui, I will leave after watching the princess." After finishing speaking, she walked to the door of Jiang Yu's bedroom and lifted the curtain.

Not far from Jiang Yu's bed, there is a pear wood crib with curved feet. Princess Dingyi still has tears hanging on her eyelashes. He even moaned and groaned, insisting on getting up: "Concubine Mu, I want to go back to your palace, I don't want to live with Concubine Hui."

Concubine Xu Kang's heart was pierced, she knelt down and covered the princess's mouth, persuaded her to come down, and put her ear next to her, half coaxing and half threatening: "Dingyi, from today onwards, as long as Concubine Hui is by your side, you can cry, cry The louder the better, Concubine Hui is annoyed by the noise, maybe she can return you to concubine mother, but only you and concubine mother know about this, you can't tell anyone, did you hear me, or you will never come back. "

Princess Dingyi didn't make a fuss and wanted to leave now, she retracted into the quilt and nodded, then closed her eyes obediently.

Concubine Xu Kang touched her daughter's face, stood up, and looked at Tongguang Palace nurse at the door who took care of her daughter: "The princess is used to covering the original plush blanket, and I brought it with me when I came. Come on, bring it in, and build that bed in the future."

"Yes." The nurse hurried out.

Taking advantage of no one in the room, Concubine Xu Kang walked to the corner of the bedroom door. On the ground there was a small four-legged incense tripod that was equipped in every palace and hall to repel insects and ants.

The room of the imperial palace is too big, and there is a lot of wood in the room. This kind of small incense cauldron is purely used to prevent termites. It is usually placed in the corner of the room, put a little sulfur powder, and leave it alone, it can burn for ten days and a half months. Very inconspicuous, unlike those incense burners that attract attention in the center of the room.

She took out the small drawer under the small insect repellent incense cauldron, which contained finely ground sulfur powder, took out a bag from her cuff, and mixed the powder inside.

When the nurse's footsteps approached, Concubine Xu Kang hurriedly took out another shiny thing, it was a golden pearl hairpin, made of all gold, with a phoenix spreading its wings on the head, lifelike, it looked priceless, it was by no means something that ordinary people could worn.

Concubine Xu Kang swept around, found a corner of the bed, stuffed the crested hairpin in, and then lifted the curtain and went out.

A few days later, there was a rumor in the harem that Concubine Hui was in a state of restlessness every day, and would have messy dreams as soon as she touched the pillow. Once, there was nothing unusual about her body.

Jiang Yu was also afraid that someone would tamper with her diet or daily life. After checking the daily meals and the ointment she was exposed to, there was nothing wrong with it. In fact, she knew from the bottom of her heart that it was probably because of Princess Dingyi.

The princess hadn't laughed since the first day she came to Tongguang Palace, she was fine when she was not around, every time she saw her, she cried like a howl.

After thinking about it, it wasn't that Princess Dingyi's quarrel made her mentally weak, what else could be the reason?
Jiang Yu was even more disgusted, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to continue to endure it.

This day, Jiang Yu was still restless in sleep, tossing and turning dreaming most of the night, and just woke up with a heavy body in the morning, only to hear the scream of the maid who was cleaning the room.

Jiang Yu was already fluttering, but when she was frightened, she almost disappeared, so she slapped her and said, "That girl cries all the time, are you dog slaves also infected? , nothing to call it!"

The maid held a hairpin and showed it to the master: "The servant saw this while cleaning the bedside, and thought it was an ornament of the empress, but after a closer look, it was not, it seemed to be—"

"Whose is it?" Jiang Yu frowned and reached out to take it. After seeing it clearly, her face changed.

Crested Nobile, this is——

It belonged to my aunt, Empress Jiang.

In the past, she often went in and out of Fengzao Palace, so how could she not be familiar with the accessories on her aunt's dressing table, this gold hairpin was one of her most beloved head accessories, and she used to wear it very often.

"How come—" How did this dead thing come here by itself?Jiang Yu was already in low spirits, but she was covered in cold sweat after being blasted by the golden hairpin, and her hairs stood on end.

The personal servant girl came in, and she was shocked when she heard the situation. She felt a little hairy all over, but she could only comfort her: "Don't be surprised, my lady. It was unintentionally tucked in the sleeves and carried out, and accidentally landed in the palace, and I didn't even know it."

This reason is too far-fetched, not to mention that it has been a year since I have not been to Fengzao Palace, and I have moved the palace once, from the East Palace to the Tongguang Palace in the Harem, and most of the clothes have been changed long ago. Just fell out of the clothes? !

Jiang Yu was made more and more restless by Empress Jiang's favorite thing, and pushed away after two bites of breakfast. At this moment, Concubine Xu Kang came to pay her respects.
