Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Sickness

Chapter 25

Today's sun is a bit strong, even the canna in the yard seems a bit wilted, Shen Ma Ma stood in the yard anxiously, the sun shone directly on her, the maid beside her took a banana fan and said, "Ma Ma, it's so hot here, why don't you wait in the pavilion next to her." As she spoke, she fanned her.

Shen Ma Ma was in a state of anxiety, thinking that she seemed to have done something wrong, but she didn't know how to deal with it. She was very irritable, and the weather was hot. The maid was nagging and scolding, "Who are you? You are meddling with me."

The maid was startled and just lowered her head to wipe her tears. Shen Ma Ma was even more annoyed when she saw this. She was thinking of teaching this tactless person a lesson, when suddenly she saw Jiang Yu being sent out by Li Fugui's family.

Nanny Shen came forward and said impatiently, "Madam Du, please come with me. The Crown Princess is still waiting."

Li Fugui's wife said on behalf of Jiang Yu, "Nanny Shen, the princess told Madam Du to go back first."

Jiang Yu walked out of the palace openly under the nose of Nanny Shen, which made Nanny Shen very angry. However, she couldn't get angry because Li Fugui's wife immediately said, "Why does the princess ask the Crown Princess? She hasn't come to pay her respects in several days, right?"

These words were somewhat meaningful. Nanny Shen was frightened. She responded and went back to the West Garden. As soon as she arrived there, the little maid Baoping asked, "Nanny Shen, the queen is still waiting for Madam Du." Then she glanced behind Nanny Shen, but there was nothing there. She was surprised for a moment, turned around and looked at Nanny Shen again, but saw that her face was very ugly. She knew that something had changed, so she quickly lowered her head and dared not speak.

This Aquarius was much more perceptive than the little maid. Madam Shen swallowed her dissatisfaction and went into the house.

Princess Jialan didn't want to care, and she also felt that she should look like a princess consort. However, she was a little unhappy when Jiang Yu didn't come. Seeing that Madam Shen had just come, she couldn't help asking, "What's going on? Where is she?"

Madam Shen told her the whole story, and finally mentioned Princess Zhou's words, "She said that you haven't paid respects to her for a long time."

Princess Jialan frowned. It was Princess Zhou who said that she didn't need to pay respects to her every day, but only went there once at the beginning and middle of the month.

"What did Jiang Yu do?"

At this moment, Princess Jialan suddenly felt that perhaps her behavior was a bit too reckless, but she didn't expect that an inconspicuous Jiang could actually persuade Princess Zhou.

Princess Zhou seemed to be easy to talk to, but in fact she was picky and stubborn, and very self-centered. She didn't even care about the crown prince, so how could she care about Jiang's affairs?

It seemed that this Jiang was more capable than she thought.

But on second thought, those who often let the prince come to eat are not good people after all.

At this time, the little maid came in and said, "Madam, the princess wants you to come over for questioning."

Princess Jialan glanced at Nanny Shen and said, "Wash up for me."

After waiting to wash up and dress up again, Princess Jialan went out. It was noon and the sun was very strong. She couldn't help frowning. The princess rarely called her at this time. It seemed that Jiang must have said something.

Sure enough, when Princess Jialan arrived at the East Courtyard, the princess said, "I heard that you called Jiang over?"

It was the first time that Princess Jialan saw Princess Zhou get angry like this. She was embarrassed and angry, and said, "Mother, listen to me."

"What is there to say? Jiang was married to the prince before, but that was a few years ago. You can't find trouble with her just because you don't have the ability to keep her. She has nothing. Isn't it to give up her position to you? What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Princess Jialan blushed with shame.

Princess Zhou refused to let it go. Actually, she had been somewhat dissatisfied for a long time, but she had never found a suitable opportunity. Although she was talking about Jiang Yu today, she was also warning Princess Jialan.

"You are the Crown Princess. You should not be jealous here and take out your anger on an unrelated person. Instead, you should think about how to win back the Crown Prince's heart and how to expand the royal family. People say that you are sensible, but I think you don't know how much you are worth now!"

Princess Zhou scolded Princess Jialan so harshly that she almost cried. Even her mother had never scolded her like this.

While waiting to come out of the East Courtyard, Princess Jialan almost collapsed on the ground. It was only with the support of Nanny Shen that she could hold on.

***

It was not known whether it was because Princess Zhou scolded too harshly or because there was too much ice in the room, Princess Jialan had a high fever that night. Nanny Shen was so anxious that she jumped up and down and hurriedly asked someone to call the imperial doctor.

After hearing this, Princess Zhou became even angrier and said to Madam Qian, "Look at her. She got sick after just a few words. How can she be so delicate? Who is she sick for?"

Madam Qian felt that Princess Jialan was also unlucky. It should not be intentional, but the combination of these things was very bad, and it was no wonder that Princess Zhou was angry.

The kitchen sent a plate of cakes, which contained five kinds of cakes, yam cake with jujube paste, steamed chestnut powder cake with osmanthus sugar, lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake, mung bean cake, and pea yellow, which were exactly the kinds of cakes that Princess Zhou liked the most.

"My queen, I went to see her. The imperial physician said that she was not seriously ill. The fever has subsided now. He said that she was taking some medicine and resting for a while. "

Princess Zhou was obviously relieved, but she was also very unhappy. She said, "I thought she was a big person going out and knew the general situation. Who knew she was so ignorant."

"My queen, don't be angry. You didn't have a meal in the afternoon. Eat some cakes to fill your stomach." Madam Qian said distressedly.

Princess Zhou ate her favorite yam cake with jujube paste, but she felt that it was not tasty enough and she lost her mood all of a sudden. She thought of the cakes sent by Jiang Yu, but she had already finished them.

She sighed and said, "I used to think that Jiang was of humble origin and petty, but now I feel that she acts in a way that is..." There were some things that Princess Zhou did not say, but Nanny Qian could also hear the hidden meaning of her words. Princess Zhou felt that Jiang Yu was thoughtful and proper in her actions.

She recalled that such a large palace was managed in an orderly manner by Jiang Yu.

Nanny Qian recalled that she had asked Li Fugui's family, since they had all left and the tea had been forgotten, why should they bother to make a connection with Jiang Yu. At that time, Li Fugui's family smiled meaningfully and said only that this Jiang was not an ordinary person.

At that time, she thought that Li Fugui's family had not seen the world, but now, it seems a little different.
