Chapter 298 Jealousy
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please come and pay your respects to your Majesty the Queen Mother." Eunuch Zhao came to report respectfully.

Empress Dowager Zheng fell ill on the bed, her temper became more and more violent, and she was very difficult to take care of. The clever and smooth Eunuch Zhao couldn't bear it either. His handsome face, which was three points more beautiful than a woman's, looked rather haggard.

Jiang Shaohua saw this and had no sympathy for Eunuch Zhao.

The palace is a quagmire that swallows human nature. Even though Eunuch Zhao looks pitiful, he turns around and bullies the palace eunuchs with great power. She secretly spent a lot of money to bribe Eunuch Zhao, and they had a cooperative relationship. There's nothing real about it.

Queen Mother Zheng coughed twice: "Let them come in!"

Eunuch Zhao retreated in response. After a while, Princess Baohua and her party entered the palace.

Princess Baohua was dressed in plain clothes, with a thin and slender figure, and an indelible sadness between her brows. Behind him, Jiang Guanhua and Jiang Yuehua were also wearing plain clothes and no makeup. Fan Jianing, who has a delicate appearance, has also become thinner.

Jiang Shaohua stood up and greeted Princess Baohua.

She was wearing a luxurious and heavy princess dress today, which formed a strong contrast with the plain white clothes of Princess Baohua and others.

Princess Baohua's mood was a little complicated and she said softly: "Cousin Shaohua, please get up."

Jiang Shaohua responded softly: "This is all my responsibility."

Under Jiang Shaohua's dazzling light, wouldn't the two Jiang clan daughters be dimmed?
Even Princess Baohua, who has a gentle and quiet temperament, looks at Jiang Shaohua who steals everyone's attention, doesn't she feel a little bit sour in her heart?
She is Princess Daliang and the only daughter of Emperor Taikang. She should be the one to do things like support the coffin. As a result, she didn't show up, but Jiang Shaohua stole the show and even took this opportunity to enter the court.

Jiang Guanhua and Jiang Yuehua nodded inwardly. Just listen to Fan Jianing say: "How is this possible? If it were me, if the Prime Minister took one look at him, I would tremble, let alone argue with reason. There is also the Prince of Wu'an, who is the elder of the clan, and the Princess is against the previous one. Being fearless and never falling behind is not something that everyone can do.”

Both of them are county heads, and their status is one level lower than Jiang Shaohua's, and both of them have false titles. That is to say, there is a salary, money and rice every year, but no fiefdom. Of course, there are no soldiers and no food.

"It's good if you can do your job well." Empress Dowager Zheng answered, her satisfaction and praise for Jiang Shaohua was beyond words: "There are some blind bastards who make irresponsible remarks about Shaohua. Fortunately, Shaohua had a strong temper and resisted. "

"A few days ago, cousin Shaohua carried the coffin to the imperial mausoleum, and had to take care of his second brother along the way. Thank you for your hard work!"

Jiang Shaohua glanced at Jiang Guanhua and Jiang Yuehua's sullen pretty face, and smiled calmly: "It's because of the protection and support of the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness that I, the Princess of Nanyang, can stand in the court. If it had been Miss Fan or someone else, Will do better than me."

"The princess is really awesome," Fan Jianing, whose surname is not Jiang, and who doesn't have so many complex thoughts, opened his mouth with envy: "I heard that the princess went to the imperial court today, and it is unprecedented for a woman to enter the court."

Jiang Guanhua and Jiang Yuehua quickly looked at each other and lowered their eyes to hide the jealousy in their eyes.

"This is the magnificence and demeanor of Princess Jiang."

In the past, thousands of miles apart, the two of them occasionally mentioned Jiang Shaohua, at most with a little envy. Now Jiang Shaohua appeared in the palace with thunderous momentum, and quickly became the favorite of Empress Dowager Zheng, the closest cousin to His Royal Highness, and the ambitious daughter of the Jiang family in the eyes of the ministers...

"Sister Guanhua, sister Yuehua, do you think so?"

Jiang Guanhua Jiang Yuehua: "..."

Jiang Guanhua, who was poked at the sore spot, twitched the corner of his mouth and responded awkwardly: "Sister Fan is right. Cousin Shaohua has a tough temperament and is resolute, and I am far behind." Jiang Yuehua could only laugh and said: "Although cousin Shaohua Even though he is young, he is decisive and cold-blooded, even better than a man. How can I compare to my cousin Shaohua?"

The sourness in his words almost came out.

Only then did Fan Jianing realize that he had hurt the face of the two county heads by speaking too honestly. He quickly smiled and tried to make amends: "I didn't mean to look down on the two sisters, so don't be upset. Both sisters have fathers and brothers. You don’t have to worry about anything, just live happily in your boudoir. You don’t have to worry about managing the domain like a princess. Your temperament is naturally different.”

Jiang Wanhua thought to himself, if you can't speak, then stop talking. No one will think you are mute.

Jiang Yuehua rolled her eyes inwardly. Yes, yes, Jiang Shaohua is a princess with a fiefdom, and both the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince value her highly. The two of them are wimps raised in the harem.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said nothing.

In fact, she also has a brother from her father. However, her father is the son-in-law, and her brother's surname is Lu. In the eyes of the royal family, they are not worthy of publicity. Naturally, he was ignored by everyone.

He offended three people without knowing it, and it was Fan Jianing.

Princess Baohua reluctantly opened her mouth to smooth things over: "My sisters, there is no need to compete with each other. It is only right to get closer to each other."

Jiang Shaohua calmly answered the question: "What my cousin said is true. I rarely come back to the capital. After the crown prince's cousin's enthronement ceremony is over, I will go back to Nanyang County. In the future, the mountains and rivers will be far away, and I want to meet my cousins ​​again. I'm afraid it's difficult to get together. It's time to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to my cousins."

Jiang Guanhua Jiang Yuehua's face looked a little better.

Jiang Guanhua smiled and said, "You have to go to court, so you don't have time to gossip with us."

"The big court meeting is held every half a month. Although the small court meeting is held every day, it only lasts for half a day." Jiang Shaohua said with a smile, "I will be free in the afternoon."

"Then we have made an appointment to come and pay our respects to the Queen Mother at this time every day." Jiang Yuehua said happily, "It just so happens that we have lunch at Jingyang Palace."

The girls were chatting and laughing, and Queen Mother Zheng saw it and was very satisfied: "That's right. You are both the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, so you should get closer to each other."

Then he opened his mouth and ordered to go down and order the imperial kitchen to prepare meals.

Empress Dowager Zheng was weak and could not stay in bed yet. Princess Baohua first served Queen Mother Zheng for dinner, and then led her cousins ​​and companions to have lunch.

Jiang Shaohua grew up in the palace in his previous life and knew the temperament of the four girls in front of him very well. Over lunch, I started chatting and laughing with them and became familiar with them.

Jiang Guanhua muttered to Jiang Yuehua in private: "It's really weird. I hated her very much. Now I think she's actually pretty good."

"She is well-informed and speaks very humorously." Jiang Yuehua whispered: "It's really interesting to talk to her. Otherwise, we can interact with her a little bit in the future to avoid being seen as a hilarious joke."

"Forget it, who made us two so tolerant and generous?"
