Chapter 96 Entering the Palace to Study with Others
Ayao's true identity remains a mystery, and Jiang Ruohua has not been able to find out his true identity so far, but there is no need to rush. Hu Xingxing is also dragging a child, so they still need to arrange a place for them to eat. The rest can just wait until she comes out next time.
Hua Chan and Yin Qiu cried bitterly, but they had no choice but to say goodbye to Jiang Ruohua reluctantly because they could not follow Jiang Ruohua into the palace to study with him.
"Okay." Jiang Ruohua hugged them both, "Be good, help me guard the house, remember to watch over Aunt Yuan, the people I arranged will come to the mansion in a few days, you can also help secretly, let her live in the third room to gain a foothold."
"Don't worry, miss." Huachan nodded with tears, "I will do it well."
"Take care, miss." Yinqiu wiped her tears, "Everything in the mansion is with us, don't worry, miss."
After Jiang Ruohua entered the palace, a sedan chair carrying a girl entered the Jiang Mansion through the small door. Li Ge's hard work paid off. With the help of Jiang Ruohua, she soon came into contact with Mr. Jiang San. After a few days of getting along, she finally coaxed the man into obedience and took him in.
After finally solving one problem, another one came. The Third Madam hadn't had a chance to relax yet, and she had another mess. Unfortunately, the matter was not over yet. A maid who served the eldest young master was careless and forgot to close the window at night. The small medicine jar became hot on the spot. This was the lifeblood of the Third Madam, and she was so scared that she had to watch over her son day and night!
And Li Ge was not worthy of coming from that kind of place. She was good at coaxing men. The Third Master Jiang was in her room almost every day. When the legitimate son was sick, she only came to see him symbolically and said a few words of concern. Then she turned around and was coaxed into forgetting the matter. The Third Madam complained unbearably, but was refuted by Li Ge lightly.
"I am naturally distressed that the eldest young master is ill, but I work hard outside every day, how can I know how to take care of a patient? What's more, I don't have the time. Madam is watching over the eldest young master, but I see him every day and can see his fatigue and hard work. I wish I could suffer this pain myself!"
"I came here to serve the master and his wife. I really don't want to see the master and his wife arguing about this. The eldest young master has been ill for a long time. Maybe the doctor in the mansion is not good. If the eldest young master continues to have a fever, what should we do if he has a problem? Or should we change a doctor to take a look?"
This speech directly touched the heart of Mr. Jiang San. Mr. Jiang San, who could not get a good response even if he bowed and scraped to others, was greatly satisfied with Li Ge. He repeatedly admitted that he was indeed hard-working outside. Li Ge served him very well and was respectful to the mistress. He was even more worried about his legitimate son. With a wave of his hand, he wanted to invite a doctor from outside.
The relationship between the Third Madam and Mr. Jiang was on thin ice. If it went any worse, their reputation would be ruined. They had to bite their teeth and agree to this matter. They swallowed the pain and changed a doctor to treat the eldest young master.
This change of doctor cured the eldest young master's illness in an instant. Mr. Jiang wanted to treat Li Ge, who had only moved his lips, as a lucky star, but it made the Third Madam very angry.
However, what the Third Madam didn't know was that all this was done deliberately by Li Ge. Even this doctor was a candidate that Jiang Ruohua had favored early on, and he was waiting for this opportunity to enter the Duke's Mansion as a palace doctor.
Without any effort, the Third Madam lost a member. The former palace doctor was her confidant who had done a lot of secret things for her. How did the pregnant concubine in the mansion get into trouble? Most of them were caused by him. Now that a new one has been replaced, the Third Madam has no way to deal with Concubine Yuan and Concubine Ying for a while, and can only find ways to bribe them again.
Unfortunately, he is still a palace doctor who can never be bribed.
The mastermind behind all this is now sitting on the same couch with Princess Shangyang, sharing the grapes sent by the palace maids.
Perhaps because the idiot fake King Ying is not in the palace now, Jiang Ruohua feels that there is not much difference from the past few days in the palace. The Queen is a virtuous queen, generous, kind and loving, and she takes good care of herself. She lives with Princess Shangyang in the palace, and no palace maid is disrespectful to her. Days pass by, and every day she goes to the Royal Academy to learn the Four Virtues and Six Arts, and after school she hangs out with Princess Shangyang to laugh and chat. There is no one to bother her, and she lives a very comfortable life in the palace.
Most of the people who studied together were princes and princesses who were younger than Princess Shangyang. The emperor had many children, but not all of them could be spoiled by the emperor like Princess Shangyang. Jiang Ruohua thought that it was probably because Princess Shangyang had no brothers, her mother was the queen and was very obedient, and she was also a princess, so the emperor could pour his fatherly love on her without any worries.
The other princes and princesses always had to work hard to perform, abide by the rules and etiquette, study hard, and practice hard, in order to get the emperor's praise. Not to mention that they fought hard, they dared not provoke Princess Shangyang, who was in the hands of the emperor. After all, no one was a fool. Even a child knew which was more important, a moment of anger or the disappointment of his father.
Yupin might have been pregnant. The only thing she was worried about after entering the palace was her, but she didn't move for a long time. Jiang Ruohua was not in a hurry. The net had been set, and she would not close it until the critical moment.
In her spare time, Jiang Ruohua practiced martial arts step by step, practicing the skills she learned from Xu Weiqing. During the day, she went to listen to the Taifu's lessons with Princess Shangyang. Her efforts always paid off. The dust that the Third Lady deliberately covered her with was gradually wiped off bit by bit in the palace. While she was emerging, she was also springing up like bamboo shoots after rain.
The queen had to joke with Concubine Qian: "The more I look at this child, the more I like her. She is good in every way. After all, Concubine Yi is not destined to be with her. She lost such a good daughter-in-law for nothing!"
"Yes, she has a good character and both moral integrity and talent. In the future, I really don't know who will get her. I am jealous now."
Ten days passed in the palace unknowingly. It was the first rest. Jiang Ruohua got on the carriage in front of the palace gate and turned to Princess Shangyang and said: "Mingdai, go back."
"Okay, be careful." Princess Shangyang sent her to the palace gate, and the two reluctantly parted.
The relationship during this period was so good that the two of them put aside their identities and called each other by their names.
Jiang Ruohua sat in the carriage, wondering if her change would surprise the third lady? And after being surprised, what would the third lady choose to do?
As usual? Or plan to find another way? Or something else?
She waited and saw.
