Chapter 162 New hatred and old hatred

Looking at the messy Jiang Ningyao, Jiang Zuiyao's eyes turned cold: "I haven't settled the accounts with my sister yet, and my sister is going to get worse?"

In her heart, Jiang Ningyao despised Jiang Zuiyao. In her eyes, Jiang Zuiyao was just a stupid idiot who was no match for her. She said disdainfully: "Now that he is favored by the Queen Mother, he speaks tougher words. My sister really wants to see it."

See what you can do to me."

Seeing the arrogant Jiang Ningyao with unconvinced expressions on her face, Jiang Zuiyao knew that if such a person did not teach her a lesson, she would not be honest. She said coldly: "If sister doesn't believe it, then sister will do it to you."

Look, believe it or not, I can prevent you from ever getting over without spending a single soldier."

Jiang Zuiyao naturally has this confidence. She can even deal with people like Shao Ziqing, let alone the little girl in front of her who has just turned 20.

Jiang Ningyao naturally didn't believe it. She even thought Jiang Zuiyao's words were ridiculous. She couldn't help but sarcastically said with a chuckle: "Sister, you really dare to speak big words. Didn't you suffer a lot in the past? Don't heal the scar and forget about the pain. I want to be on the tiger's head."

I want to see if you have the ability to pluck your hair."

After saying this, Jiang Ningyao gave Jiang Zuiyao a contemptuous look and wandered away.

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't stand such arrogant and domineering Jiang Ningyao. She must let her concubine know how powerful she was.

Turning around and entering the Shang Palace Bureau, she glanced at Eunuch Qin who had just spoken to Jiang Ningyao. She walked over to investigate and saw Eunuch Qin copying a peony picture on a piece of cloth. There were many peony patterns placed around him.

In order to find out more information, Jiang Zuiyao said flatteringly: "My father-in-law, this painter is really superb. If you are ranked second in this palace, I am afraid no one will dare to be ranked first."

Eunuch Qin looked up and saw Jiang Zuiyao.

Nowadays, Jiang Zuiyao's name is well-known to every household. Eunuch Qin naturally recognizes her. The slave who usually knows how to look at his master is naturally filled with joy after Jiang Zuiyao praised her. He quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shao, you are so complimentary. This slave has such a pair of eyes."

Stupid hand, I dare not accept such praise from you."

Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly smiled and said: "Why don't you dare? I don't think I can find anyone else in Kyoto. No wonder my sister asked you to copy the peony painting. You really found the right person."

Eunuch Qin said: "After all, it is Empress Xi who wants to embroider the finished product and present it to the Queen Mother. I don't dare to neglect it."

Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly asked: "But do you want to donate it on the Queen Mother's birthday?"

Eunuch Qin nodded: "Exactly, so I must draw well."

Although Jiang Zuiyao is not proficient in female embroidery, she also knows a thing or two. If you want to embroider well, you must trace the base of the pattern on the cloth, and then take the colored thread and embroider it.

After looking at Eunuch Qin's piece of cloth, it turned out to be a piece of fine silk. After looking at it carefully, there was a piece of the same size lying beside it. Jiang Zuiyao said, "Eunuch Qin is really cautious. Is this piece prepared for fear of making a mistake?"

Eunuch Qin smiled and said: "No, Empress Xibi wants to embroider a double-sided embroidery, so she naturally needs to prepare another piece. Seeing that the Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, I have to send it to Empress Xibi tomorrow."

After understanding the situation clearly, Jiang Zuiyao smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb my father-in-law. You can be busy first."

Eunuch Qin smiled and nodded, and Jiang Zuiyao left.

Standing in the courtyard, Jiang Zuiyao has been weighing this matter in her mind. After thinking about it, she looked a little worried.

When Qin Nanxian came out, the two of them walked in the direction of Fengzhu Palace. They were already far away. Jiang Zuiyao asked, "Do you know Eunuch Qin from the Shang Palace Bureau?"

Qin Nanxian nodded: "Yes, what are you asking him for?"

Jiang Zuiyao was not in a hurry to explain, and continued to ask: "What does he do in Shang Gong Bureau?"

Qin Nanxian said: "The people who work in the Shang Palace Bureau are all palace maids, and they are all women's delicate work. How can men do it? Eunuch Qin is the eunuch in charge of the Shang Palace Bureau. On weekdays, he only teaches the palace maids and does not do any work."

Jiang Zuiyao asked again: "Then why did she draw pictures for Xi Bin?"

At this point, Qin Nanxian realized why Jiang Zuiyao asked about this and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Zuiyao had been thinking about it for a long time, and now she had a rough plan in mind and said, "I want to ask you to do something."

Qin Nanxian stopped and looked more serious: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Zuiyao first looked around to see if there was anyone around. When she saw that there was no one else, she dared to lower her voice and said: "I don't have anyone trustworthy in the palace, so I came to trouble you. That Eunuch Qin embroidered two pieces for Jiang Ningyao."

I want to do some handwork on peony embroidery."

Qin Nanxian was slightly surprised: "That is the embroidery that your sister wants to donate to the Queen Mother. Now there has been news in the palace about it. It is not a trivial matter."

Jiang Zuiyao said firmly: "I know, otherwise I wouldn't bother you. I don't trust anyone except you."

Qin Nanxian had heard a little bit about the grudge between Jiang Zuiyao and Jiang Ningyao. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not wade into this muddy water, but since it was Jiang Zuiyao's matter, it was different.

Qin Nanxian said without hesitation: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Zuiyao was afraid that the wall had ears, so she whispered something into Qin Nanxian's ear. After hearing this, Qin Nanxian's face immediately turned gloomy.

Jiang Zuiyao asked: "Can you handle this?"

Qin Nanxian frowned: "It's a bit difficult to handle, but since you are the one who asked it yourself, you have to do it even if you can't."

Jiang Zuiyao smiled slowly: "It's your fault for this. If it is done, I will thank you very much."

Qin Nanxian smiled nonchalantly: "There is no need to be so open-minded between you and me. Your business is my business. Let's leave quickly. We were wasted some time at Shang Gong Bureau. Don't keep my aunt waiting.

"

The two of them arrived at Fengzhu Palace together. The Queen Mother was resting in the side hall today, holding a pot of chrysanthemums and pruning the branches and leaves. When she saw Jiang Zuiyao, she put down the scissors in her hand and waved to her.

Jiang Zuiyao walked over. The Queen Mother looked at her carefully and said with a smile, "Have you recovered well?"

Jiang Zuiyao smiled and replied: "Thanks to the Queen Mother's care, my body has recovered."

"The Shao family didn't make things difficult for you anymore, right?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, since you punished them, they naturally don't dare to do it. Now they don't come to my yard anymore and stay far away."

"How about the kids?"

"The child is fine, but he has some congenital deficiencies, but they are not serious problems. I have always taken good care of him."

The Queen Mother nodded with relief, glanced at Qin Nanxian who was standing not far away, and said: "It is indeed important to call you two here today."

The Queen Mother paused and said: "Zui Yao, the Ai family once appointed you as the Second Commander of the Yinfeng Hall of the Imperial City Division, but you were pregnant at the time and raising the baby was the most important thing, so they didn't tell you and just let you die.

With a good reputation, now it’s time to take up a position and do something.”
