After I was reborn, I became the queen mother by fortune telling

Chapter 166 Concubine Qiong Is Under House Confinement
"I don't care too much." Yang Guiren picked up the teacup and blew on the tea stems, "It's just that in the palace, one thing more is worse than one thing less. Sister Jiang can let me do one thing less, I am naturally grateful."

While they were talking, Fengling suddenly came over and told Jiang Yu: "Your Majesty, someone from the House of Internal Affairs suddenly sent a message that the seat of Concubine Qiong should be withdrawn. The servants dare not make decisions on their own, so please invite that father-in-law over here, please." He will tell you to your face."

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and looked behind Feng Ling, and she was indeed a young eunuch, very familiar, his name seemed to be An Nian, and he followed Eunuch Gao.

It seems that he once followed Mu Qingyuan to Mingxi Palace.

An Nian stepped forward and bowed: "My slave, An Nian, greets the two noble ladies."

"I heard from Fengling that Concubine Qiong's seat should be removed? What's going on?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Reporting to Noble Jiang, the slave came to inform Noble Jiang under the orders of Eunuch Gao."

"Is there... no reason?" Jiang Yu frowned slightly.

"Concubine Qiong is seriously ill, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to attend the banquet, so she won't come today. Don't worry about it, Mrs. Jiang, the empress dowager and the emperor know about it."

Seriously ill?

Not long ago, Concubine Qiong ran over aggressively, wanting to question Master Fugui Xing!
Within a few days, he became seriously ill and became bedridden?

Seeing Jiang Yu's doubts, Yang Guiren smiled and said, "Sister Jiang has been ill for a few days, she really doesn't know anything about the affairs of the palace."

Jiang Yu really didn't know anything. In her previous life, Concubine Qiong didn't come to her and asked to leave the palace to guard the mausoleum until after Mu Qingyuan passed away. Could it be that she made some mistakes at this time in this life?

Even if she opened a gambling house in the palace and took bribes from the people below, it wouldn't be so "sick" that she couldn't go out, right?
"Eunuch An Nian, go ahead!" Yang Gui asked An Nian to go down first.

After An Nian left, Yang Guiren sighed: "I really envy Sister Jiang, sitting at home behind closed doors..."

"The misfortune comes from the sky?" Jiang Yu blurted out.

Yang Guiren laughed "puchi".

"It should be 'blessings come from heaven'!"

"Let me tell you some good news first, do you still remember that arrogant Eunuch Liu that day?"

"Remember, good news?" Jiang Yu was puzzled.

"He's been locked up this morning with a broken leg."

"Why?" Jiang Yu remembered that Eunuch Liu was very arrogant and domineering. If he hadn't been violent, there was really nothing he could do about it.

"I heard that this person colluded with the ministers in the court. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has corrupted several 10 taels of silver over the years. Now he is being detained to be a witness, otherwise his head would have been chopped off."

It's no wonder that Eunuch Liu didn't find any trouble with him later, probably because he heard some rumors.

Jiang Yu nodded: "That is indeed a good thing. But how did this matter involve Concubine Qiong's illness?"

"In the past few years, Concubine Qiong has not missed the red envelopes from Eunuch Liu. However, the most important thing is that Concubine Qiong's father, Zheng Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, is the key figure in the Ministry of Industry's ink corruption case. Concubine Qiong is inseparably involved in the whole matter, outside the court, inside and outside the palace, so she is sick now, very seriously ill, and may not be able to recover for several years."

"Sister Yang, how do you know so clearly?"

Jiang Yu was a little surprised.

You have to know that in the previous life, after slowly ascending to the throne, I made friends with a group of eunuchs who knew some government affairs of the previous dynasty, and found out information related to the harem from them. How could Yang Guiren in front of me know so clearly?

"I didn't know it at first, but I heard about it when I went to deliver tremella and lotus seed soup to the empress dowager this morning." Yang Guiren said casually.

Also, to punish Concubine Qiong, the Queen Mother must know the details.

However, Yang Guiren noticed so many things when he went to serve food and drink, he must have put his heart into it.

Concubine Qiong seemed to be confined in the Qixia Palace for a long time.

But before Jiang Yu could feel emotional, Feng Ling, who had just left, came back again.

"Your Majesty, Chunyue in the Empress Dowager's palace is here, and she also said that she needs to find her about tonight's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."

Jiang Yu and Yang Guiren looked at each other, and told Fengling to invite Chunyue to come over.

Chunyue is the most capable of the young maids around the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager must have sent her here because she must have something important to convey.

Sure enough, as soon as Chunyue came, she told Jiang Yu: "Jiang Guiren, please set up two more seats next to the seat of the Empress Dowager."

"Two more?" Jiang Yu was taken aback.

"Is it for Princess Chang and Princess Yaoqin?" Yang Guiren interrupted suddenly.

Chunyue smiled and said, "Yang Guiren knows better than slaves."

"I also heard about it from the chat of the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager said that the eldest princess and the chief of the county will not arrive until late August. Is this an early arrival?"

"That's not true. It is said that the wind was blowing fast during the waterway, so it was several days earlier than the expected date. I just entered the palace in the morning, and now I am talking to the empress dowager in the Changxia Palace."

After Chunyue finished speaking, she hurried back. Jiang Yu called Fengling and told her to find someone to arrange it.

While instructing the wind chime, Jiang Yu recalled the information about the eldest princess in her previous life.

She seemed to remember that there was such an eldest princess, she was Mu Qingyuan's aunt, married to Zhenbei King Han You as the princess, and lived in the north all year round.

In the past years, Jiang Yu had never seen her.

After Mu Qingyuan passed away in her previous life, Jiang Yu sent someone to deliver a letter to her, but she didn't come back for the funeral for some reason.

This Princess Yaoqin is the only daughter of the eldest princess. She also has an older brother who has been staying in the north and never returned to the Central Plains.

It is said that this was because the former emperor at that time, Mu Qingyuan's father, had said before his death that the county kings guarding the frontier and the men in their families were not allowed to enter Beijing unless they were summoned.

In this life, Jiang Yu would unexpectedly meet these two women whom she had never seen in her previous life, so she couldn't help being a little curious.

"It's getting late, it's time for me to prepare some dishes for the Queen Mother." Yang Guiren stood up and said.

Jiang Yu suddenly remembered what Yang Guiren might be doing at the banquet tonight, so she also stood up and said, "Sister Yang, I'm not good at cooking, and I can't learn well. Why don't I cook with you? Are you here? You can also guide me at any time."

Yang Guiren looked at her, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and said: "I'm just a half-assed person, if Sister Jiang is willing to be together, that would be great, so we can check each other out."

They had some simple lunch first, and then began to prepare the ingredients.

What Yang Guiren was going to cook was a dish of vinegared fish fillets. Jiang Yu saw with her own eyes that she started selecting live fish, and then asked people to kill the fish, scrape the scales and wash them, and she did all the subsequent slicing, pickling, etc. by herself.

Jiang Yu watched intently, afraid that Yang Guiren would add some "ingredients" to the ingredients while she was not paying attention.
