Reborn Pampered Queen

After the Lantern Festival, this year was considered over.

Everything was back on track. Master Jiang San was once again in a rush for the matter of Hou Que, and Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu had also returned to their daily state of morning consciousness.

In the east wing of the Jun Yutang building, née Qin sat on the fire kang near the window. Jiang Shu knelt behind her, while Jiang Wan sat on the small stool in front of the fire kang.

A row of matriarchs were standing there obediently with their heads lowered, waiting for née Qin's instructions.

Jiang Wan was a little bored as she gripped the handkerchief in her hand, quietly sizing up née Qin's expression on the brick bed, wondering why she suddenly wanted to teach her housekeeper out of the kindness of her heart.

In a short moment, Jiang Wan understood that the Qin family still wanted to teach Jiang Shu, but when she saw Jiang Shu's dazed expression, she knew that the Qin family's plans would come to naught.

Jiang Zhuzhe truly had no interest in housekeepers. At this moment, all she could think about was that handsome youth she had seen yesterday. He had red lips, white teeth, and was even prettier than a woman. How could anyone be so good-looking? In comparison, the Crown Prince that she had been yearning for was like an old uncle, causing her to lose interest in him.

According to Huang Yi, this year was the year when the Left Censor-in-Chief entertained March 3rd. Their family had already arranged for the Yan Family class to go to the concert hall a long time ago, so that they could see Yan Qing again.

But on second thought, was there a relationship between the Left Imperial Censor's house and hers? What if their family didn't send out invitations that day?

When she thought of this, Jiang Shu's eyes darted over to the Qin family. She wanted to ask a few questions, but she didn't know how.

"This year is over. The hearts that need to be retracted will be retracted as well." At this moment, the Qin family was reprimanding their family's wives. Seeing that Jiang Shu always had an appearance of wanting to speak but was hesitating, Du mother kindly reminded the Qin family, wondering if Fifth Miss had something to say.

The Qin family looked at their little daughter in surprise, waiting for her opinion.

All of a sudden, the gazes of everyone in the room were focused on Jiang Shu. Jiang Shu, who had never experienced anything like this, jumped in fright and stuttered, "I …" "I forgot …"

Someone in the room started to laugh.

With a cold gaze from the Qin family, the crowd was so frightened that they were silenced.

As for Jiang Wan, who was sitting upright on the little Dan Zi, she heavily pinched the back of her hand. She held back the urge to laugh, and only then did she try her best to maintain her expressionless face.

The Qin knew that today's lecture was no longer appropriate, so they dispersed all the servants in the room, leaving behind only Mother Du. Then, they looked at Jiang Zhuzthey and asked, "What were you trying to say just now?"

Jiang Shu then explained the words in her heart, but the Qin family frowned.

Although she had met the Left Imperial Censor's Lady Li yesterday, the two of them had only nodded together. They hadn't spoken for a whole day, so they couldn't be considered as close friends.

Moreover, the Left Censor-in-Chief was a second grade official and his family was still a fifth grade official. No matter how much he invited, he would never invite his family.

"What does the Left Imperial Censor's house say?" The Qin family looked at their youngest daughter in confusion. Logically speaking, she usually didn't care about these things.

Naturally, Jiang Shu did not dare say that she wanted to see a playwright. Therefore, she could only tug at the corner of her clothes and stammer, "The Big Sister Huang I met yesterday was very popular, so I thought that I might not have a chance to see her again."

"So it was for this." née Qin frowned, glad that her daughter had befriended these noble ladies in such a short period of time. "Why don't you post an invitation to her to come and play alone?"

This was much easier than going to the spring feast at the Governor's house.

Hearing this, Jiang Shu frowned. What was the use of inviting Huang Yi into his house alone? It's not like Yan Qing would come with him!

Since this was the case, she didn't dare to tell her mother in the end. Thus, she had no choice but to accept it in her heart.

In the blink of an eye, it was February.

Jiang Wan sat in front of the window ledge on the second floor of the Pure Heart Pavilion, staring blankly at the green sprouts coming from the branches in the garden in front of the house.

Why was there no sound coming from the crown prince's residence? Logically speaking, elder sister Jiang Yu should've immediately started his second wave of work since the banquet held two years ago wasn't a success. But it was already the beginning of February, and the days were still so quiet. It was truly strange.

In the warm house in Junya Hall, née Qin dismissed everyone in the room, then made Mother Du stay outside to guard no one, while she herself and a woman dressed in colorful flowers sat on a big brick bed in front of the window, talking.

He saw the woman sitting on the edge of the brick bed. She leaned over and whispered to née Qin with a worried expression, "I don't know if it's because of the firecrackers during the new year, but I've been sleeping restlessly for the past half month. After half a month, it's already midnight. I've been running around the room with my eyes closed and my feet bare. The nanny can't even catch me …"

"How could this be? What did the imperial physician say?" When née Qin heard this, her heart was also full of anxiety.

"The imperial physician said it was just a convulsion and that he had prescribed some form of peace of mind … But a child as old as the Duke of the County isn't even willing to eat properly, so why would he drink that bitter soup? " The wife facing the Qin family was Senior Servant Qin sent by Jiang. She sighed and sighed.

"Running around the room with his eyes closed?" née Qin pondered over and over again, probing, "Did you bump into something unclean? Why don't we invite this Taoist to take a look? "

In the old days when they lived in Zhenjiang, there were often children who would cry out at night because of their shock. A woman with experience would ask someone who knew some unorthodox ways to look after the children.

"Sigh, that's what I meant as well." Qin mama sighed again, "But this crown prince's residence is the same as the imperial palace, they're not allowed to do anything about the voodoo Gu. If Cui Liandi discovers this, the entire clan might be exterminated."

The Qin also knew that what Senior Servant Qin said was the truth. The imperial family always forbade anything like this. In addition, in the hands of the martial emperor, there had been a bloody incident involving the voodoo insects. From the Guo Family to the Guo Family, all of them were sentenced to death. The former Crown Prince that was born by Empress Guo committed suicide by poisoning in prison.

The bloody rain of the past still caused people's faces to change when they thought back to it.

Because of this, the position of Crown Prince fell to the fifth son, Xiao Rui Zhao.

"Then esteemed wangfei's thoughts are …" née Qin frowned at Qin mama.

Qin mama took out a stack of silver notes from her lapel and handed it over to née Qin. "The Empress would like to ask Madame to come to the National Protector Temple for her. She would like the head of the temple to help the Prince with some legal matters and light a lantern."

When née Qin heard this, how could she possibly accept the banknotes from Senior Servant Qin? She smiled awkwardly and said, "How about you let me pay for this?"

However, Qin mama insisted, "Empress knew that Madame's hands were tight and that the old master was waiting for it. Isn't it a place to use the money?"

"Furthermore, this kind of method is most particular about sincerity, so it's best if Madam doesn't decline." Qin mama stuffed the stack of banknotes into née Qin's hands. "Oh, right, esteemed wangfei also said that I'd have to trouble the empress to ask for a talisman so I could personally bring it to the county prince."
