Chapter 697: Waves of ups and downs rise again
Chapter 697 One wave of unrest and another wave
Empress Chen achieved her goal, so she stood up, took out a jade pendant from her sleeve, put it on the table, and said, "Miss Jiang, this jade pendant is for you."
Jiang Jiuhe was a little curious, picked up the jade pendant, and the jade pendant was warm and moist, it seemed to be a good piece of jade.
Before she had time to speak, Empress Chen went on to say: "If you need anything in the future, you can take this jade pendant and go to the palace to find me."
Jiang Jiuhe was overjoyed, she didn't expect this jade pendant to be so powerful, she hurriedly said: "Thank you for the reward from the empress, my daughter must cherish it."
Empress Chen nodded and left with her maid.
After Empress Chen left, Jiang Jiuhe finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Empress Chen did not put on airs, her posture as the mother of the country was really overwhelming.
Wiping off the sweat from her forehead, she walked out of the room but saw the rosy sunset glow in the sky.
It's time to cook, Jiang Jiuhe thought.
The yard is not big now, and the yard with three entrances and two exits stops Jiang Jiuhe and Chu Mu. They still have to do the laundry, cooking and boiling water by themselves.
Fortunately, there are all the tools for cooking here. In addition, Nangong Yunxi asked the **** in the palace to send things, including a lot of fruits and vegetables, which is enough for today's dinner.
After the meal was ready, she went to find Chu Mu, and the two sat at the dinner table to eat together.
Jiang Jiuhe was eating absent-mindedly, thinking that Empress Chen came to her just now to keep her away from Nangong Yunxi, but why did Empress Chen give her such an expensive jade pendant?
If you want her to stay away from the emperor, you can just order it directly. With her status as Empress Chen, what is so difficult about it?
Could it be that you want to make friends with her?
This shouldn’t be the case, she’s just a painter, she’s Empress Chen, wouldn’t it be easy to get along with some noble lady?
How could it be possible to give such an expensive jade pendant just to make friends with a little painter like her?
Jiang Jiuhe frowned after thinking about it. She really couldn't figure out what Empress Chen was thinking. Return this jade pendant.
Chu Mu also saw that Jiang Jiuhe was absent-minded, and he asked a little worried: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Jiuhe snapped back to his senses, looked at Chu Mu with a little worry on his face, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, just some trivial matters, I can solve them, don't bother Master—"
Seeing that Jiang Jiuhe didn't want to say anything, and didn't want to force her, Chu Mu nodded slightly and continued eating.
Seeing that Chu Mu stopped asking, Jiang Jiuhe breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she really didn't know how to answer. It was impossible to say that Empress Chen kept her away from the emperor and gave her a jade pendant.
Suddenly a young man outside shouted: "Miss Jiang, a guest is here!"
That young man is Chu Mu's personal servant who has been with Chu Mu all the year round. He doesn't know martial arts, and he only takes care of Chu Mu's daily life on weekdays. Man, he's still a bit stubborn around Jiang Jiuhe.
Jiang Jiuhe was taken aback by the other party's words, thinking that there are too many people here today, first Palace Master Yang, then the eunuchs in the palace, and now even this man from the Wenqing palace, what is she doing? What a crime.
"Wenqing Prince's Mansion?" Hearing these four words, Jiang Jiuhe was puzzled. The name was familiar but unfamiliar, and he couldn't remember where he heard it.
