Chapter 204: Bed Climbing Palace Maid 8
Yingrui naturally took Yingyan's words to heart and planned to give Wei Yan the cold shoulder for a while to teach him a profound lesson. However, when she thought of what the queen had told her, she frowned in worry: "I'm so mad at Wei Yan that I forgot the purpose of going to find him."
"That's enough. Anyway, things are not urgent. The Queen will not blame you," Yingyan said. "Besides, Wei Yan cares about you so much. He will take your request to heart. Even if he wants to stay away from you because of his master, he will definitely help you find a maid."
Yingrui's brows relaxed and she laughed triumphantly: "Humph! Wei Yan is still somewhat useful, and it's worth it for me to devote myself to a eunuch like him."
Three more days passed.
That day Yingrui came to the flower room to pick some flowers for Concubine Chen, because the Flower Goddess Festival was just a few days away. In order to avoid being outdone by other palaces, the flowers needed for Chonghua Palace naturally had to be selected by Yingrui herself.
Then Yingrui saw Jiang Chunxi.
This was of course Jiang Chunxi's plan, otherwise how could Yingrui see her by chance.
Yingrui was completely stunned by Jiang Chunxi's appearance. She had always thought that her queen was the most beautiful woman in the palace, but after seeing that palace maid, she realized that there are always people better than you.
Yingrui picked some flowers absentmindedly and hurried back to Chonghua Palace.
"Is it really that beautiful?" Concubine Chen frowned slightly, and it was obvious that she was very unhappy.
Women, especially beautiful ones, have a common problem, which is that they cannot stand others being more beautiful than themselves.
Of course, the Concubine Chen is not a brainless person who would lose her plans because of jealousy.
"Hmm!" Yingrui nodded and said, "She is so beautiful that it makes people feel shocked. I just don't know how such a beauty in the flower room has been unknown to the public. Either someone is protecting the maid from being discovered by the concubines in the harem, or the maid has just been in the flower room for a short time."
"Your Majesty, if that maid is really that beautiful as Yingrui said, then she is a good candidate," Yingyan said, "but we have to investigate her thoroughly before deciding whether to use her. If she doesn't have anyone behind her, we can transfer her to Chonghua Palace."
"But if there is someone behind the other party, then that person must be eliminated. Such a beauty, if she cannot become a pawn in the hands of the Queen, then she will be a hidden danger to the Queen. So if that palace maid cannot be used by the Queen, then she must be eliminated."
"Then you guys go check it out carefully!" Chen Fei said contemptuously, "I hope that the maid doesn't have a master behind her, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel."
Concubine Chen was not worried at all that a palace maid who was more beautiful than herself would escape from her control. She was just a palace maid. Even if she looked like a fairy, so what? How could such a lowly thing dream that she could turn the world upside down?
Of course, the prerequisite is that the other party has no backing and can be used by her.
It only took Yingrui and Yingyan two days to find out Jiang Chunxi's background.
"So she came from Taiji Palace! No wonder, she is so beautiful, but no one in the harem knows about it." Yingrui looked at Concubine Chen and said, "Your Majesty, should we bring that maid to Chonghua Palace right away? If other people in the palace know about this, it may not be so easy for us to bring her to Chonghua Palace."
"The most important thing is that we are afraid that the maid was killed without a trace. If that happens, it will be difficult for us to find another suitable candidate."
The Concubine Chen did not speak immediately, but looked thoughtful: "Are you sure that your investigation is correct? That palace maid really made a mistake in Taiji Palace, so she was demoted to the flower room."
"Your Highness, are you worried that someone is misleading me and Yingrui?" Yingyan frowned and said, "Your Highness, are you thinking too much? That maid looks like that. She will definitely be excluded if she works in Taiji Palace. After all, there are many maids serving in the palace. So can those maids allow such a big threat to stay in Taiji Palace? They will definitely work together to get her out of Taiji Palace and send her away."
"Besides, don't we have Eunuch Wei? Let's get the people to Chonghua Palace first, and then ask Eunuch Wei to investigate the maid in detail. The maid came from Taiji Palace. Eunuch Wei wants to investigate her background. Is he afraid of being fooled?"
"Yes! You are right," Concubine Chen agreed with Yingyan's words, "In that case, go to the flower room now and bring the person to Chonghua Palace!"
As the favorite concubine, it was naturally easy for Concubine Chen to just ask for a palace maid from the flower room.
Even if the eunuch in charge of the flower room and the aunt didn't want to let her go, they could only watch Jiang Chunxi being taken away by people from the Concubine Chen's palace.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health." Jiang Chunxi lowered her head and knelt down to pay her respects to the Concubine Chen.
Concubine Chen: "Raise your head so I can have a good look."
Jiang Chunxi raised her head, lowered her eyelids, and did not dare to look directly at Concubine Chen.
When Concubine Chen saw Jiang Chunxi's appearance, her face immediately darkened: "What a beautiful face! This pretty little face makes all the ladies in the palace look better than her."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Jiang Chunxi bent down in fear, put her head on the floor, and her body was shaking with fear.
"Haha!" Concubine Chen laughed, "Look how scared you are. You made me seem like a scary person."
"Yingrui," Concubine Chen looked at Yingrui and said, "Take the person down and settle him down!"
"Yes." Yingrui bowed respectfully to Concubine Chen, then came to Jiang Chunxi and looked down at her, "Okay, get up and follow me!"
Jiang Chunxi stood up tremblingly, then bowed to the Concubine with great fear and trepidation, and then followed Yingrui out.
"Your Majesty, this maid named Jiang Chunxi's cowardly appearance doesn't seem to be fake." Yingyan looked at the Concubine Chen and said:
"How can I tell whether it's a human or a ghost at once?" The Concubine Chen sneered, "But no matter whether that maid is pretending or not, as long as she can't be used by me, then she can only leave her life in Chonghua Palace."
In fact, no matter whether the other party could be used by her or not, Concubine Chen would never let the other party survive. After all, her original intention was to kill the mother and keep the son.
So, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame her bad luck. Who made her, a palace maid, look so good?
