Chapter 422: My Lady, Something Bad Happens
Although Concubine Jing had just ordered them to leave, those people had received orders from their master and had to continue waiting outside the door, intending to forcibly ask them to leave when the women from Prince Ning's Mansion came out.
However, although these people dared not take Concubine Jing's words seriously, they were terrified when facing the emperor.
I thought that since the emperor had just left and Prince Ning had already entered the palace, he should not enter the harem now.
Who would have thought that in just a cup of tea, not only would they come back, they would also bring back Prince Ning's two brothers.
When those people were given the emperor's cold gaze, they ran faster than rabbits. They were probably already running to inform their masters.
"Thank you for your reminder, I'm in trouble today."
Yuxiu smiled slightly, looked at Eunuch Gui's slightly trembling calves and said:
"There is a kind of plaster in my pharmacy. It is a recipe carefully prepared by my mother. If you don't mind, please help us try the effect of this plaster."
"That's great. My legs hurt like needles every day. Sometimes I can't sleep all night..."
Eunuch Gui was extremely surprised and hurried forward to express his gratitude.
He naturally knew the origins of Yuxiu's family, so when he heard that the ointment was prepared by Madam Cui herself, he did not bother to refuse and immediately thanked her repeatedly.
When Eunuch Xing was still in power, Eunuch Gui had a hard time.
So his legs became diseased at that time. Although several imperial doctors treated him later, the results were not very good.
There is no other way but to suffer in this pain day after day.
People like Eunuch Gui have everything nowadays, including money and power, but they just lack a healthy body, which is extremely helpless.
The royal garden is indeed worthy of its reputation. Yuxiu has been staring at it ever since she entered the garden.
In her previous life, Yuxiu had visited zoos and botanical gardens many times, and she knew a lot of flowers and plants. But after entering this so-called imperial garden, she felt that what she had seen before was simply child's play.
Now is the perfect time of year when spring comes and flowers are in full bloom. The entire imperial garden is well maintained and it is no exaggeration to say that the flowers are in full bloom and vying for beauty.
While Yuxiu was strolling around, Eunuch Gui carefully introduced the names of the flowers and plants to her.
After walking around a small circle, Yuxiu found that most of the species were ones she had never seen before, and they looked very strange.
If you plant one of these in your own space, wouldn't you be able to see them every day?
However, now there is a large group of people following behind her, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if Yuxiu has a cheating tool like space, she dare not act rashly.
The people in the palace are all cunning and she doesn't want to get herself into trouble.
"Oh my, whose little girl is this? How come she is so pretty..."
Yuxiu had just sat down in a small pavilion when she heard a very surprised female voice.
Yuxiu looked in the direction of the voice and couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her mouth.
She knew that since she had entered the palace, she couldn't expect a peaceful life. And now, she even had a chance encounter.
"This servant pays respects to the Imperial Concubine..."
All the palace maids and nannies, including Eunuch Gui, quickly bowed and greeted the man.
"To answer your Majesty, this is the eldest daughter of the third branch of Prince Ning's Mansion, Xu Yuxiu..."
After all, she was the Imperial Concubine, so Eunuch Gui quickly introduced Yuxiu's identity with a smile, and secretly gave Yuxiu a look, telling her not to be nervous.
That’s right, the person who came was none other than the fully armed Concubine Xian.
As a royal concubine, she was naturally well maintained. Not only was her face very bright, but her figure was also well-proportioned, which was exactly the best condition for a woman.
"I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine..."
Yuxiu did not delay and stood up to pay her respects to Concubine Xian.
"I didn't know your majesty was here to enjoy the flowers. I'm sorry for being rude. I'm leaving now."
Although she had never been in the harem, looking at the current scene, it didn't seem like she could escape easily.
But they won't do anything to me, so there's no danger. It's just that it will no longer be possible to enjoy the flowers in a relaxed manner.
"So it's the Xu family's daughter. We are all not strangers, so there's no need to be so polite."
On the contrary, Concubine Xian was particularly friendly today. She walked quickly to Yuxiu's side, smiled and helped her up, and said kindly:
"It's a rare opportunity to meet Miss Xu today, so why don't you accompany me for a walk and tell me about the latest happenings outside..."
"What's new? How about letting me hear it too?"
As soon as Concubine Xian finished speaking, she was picked up by someone.
Yuxiu looked up and couldn't help but feel a headache again.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen..."
There was no other way, Yuxiu had to follow everyone in bowing and greeting.
It seems that the fight between Concubine Xian and the Queen has become very tense.
At this moment, Yu Xiucai didn't believe that this matter was just a coincidence.
As for this Imperial Garden, although it looked very rare to her, for these two people, it was just a place they could see every day.
Besides, I heard that the Empress and Consort Xian usually disliked each other and basically avoided each other. How could they meet by chance like this?
Since Yuxiu didn't believe it, Concubine Xian certainly wouldn't believe it either.
However, even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, the queen was more noble than her after all, so it was okay for her to use some tricks in secret to fight with her.
Now, in front of Yuxiu, an outsider, he had to maintain his dignity.
As soon as the Queen came over, she looked Yuxiu up and down, then waved at her with a smile.
"Good boy, come to me quickly."
As she spoke, she took off a warm bracelet from her wrist, and after Yuxiu came over, she forced her to put it on her wrist.
"It's not worth any money, you can just wear it for fun."
When the imperial concubine saw this, she was so angry that she almost bit her teeth off. She immediately squeezed over, took off a pearl hairpin from her bun, and inserted it into Yuxiu's hair.
Then he glanced at the Queen with pride and raised his chin proudly.
Faced with these two heavyweights, Yuxiu knew that she couldn't just go head-on with them, so she had to respond vaguely.
Fortunately, although these two people like to fight openly and secretly, they did not target Yuxiu, an innocent child. The group strolled slowly in the garden and had a lot of fun.
"My lady, this is bad..."
Just as Yuxiu was trying to cope with it, a little palace maid ran over in a hurry and whispered something into Concubine Xian's ear.
