Caixia looked at the money in front of her in the room. She was full of grievances. She looked happy when Rainbow came back. After taking the things and going out again, Caixia gritted her teeth angrily.
It was clear that she had done a good job today. Those outside said nothing about the empress, and the emperor, who loved the people like his own son. If he had not arranged these things himself, how would he have had the chance to be praised by the people.
The empress just doesn’t understand, she is the first-class maid suitable to serve the empress.
Now Caihong is taking advantage.
Before Rainbow went out, she was stopped by Caixia.
Caihong was puzzled, "Sister Caixia, are you asking me for something?"
"There's nothing wrong. I just have to leave. I want to make a few pointers to see if you are willing to listen."
Hearing this, Caihong hesitated slightly, but still stood still and looked at Caixia politely, "Sister Caixia, please speak."
"You and I have been serving you for a long time. These days, I have been serving you closely and know some of your habits. Now that I am leaving, I naturally hope that you can be considerate to her. Now I can give you some advice. The feeling of master and servant."
Rainbow did not doubt that he was there and continued to listen.
"My queen likes to soak her feet before going to bed. As for you, add some milk to her to make her feet smooth, white and tender. She also likes to drink milk before going to bed. These are delicate tasks. If you do them well, my queen will naturally like you. A few more points.”
Hearing this, Caihong felt something was wrong.
After waiting for me for so long, it seems that I have never seen the empress asking for milk.
"Thank you, Sister Caixia, for the tip. I'll prepare some for you tonight," Caihong said with a smile.
Caixia raised her eyebrows and smiled when she heard this, and then said, "Don't say I'm helping you. I'm leaving anyway. I don't care about the credit, so I'll just sell you."
It's best for the empress to send her away. If she can't be a shameful palace maid, she shouldn't take advantage of this damn girl.
Caihong looked at the shrewdness in her eyes. Although he was honest, he was not completely unscrupulous.
She was attentive and paid close attention to her mother's daily necessities. After so many years, her mother had never drank milk. The eldest prince only tried drinking milk once when he was three years old. He developed wheals on his body and he never drank milk again.
The third princess only eats human milk, so no one in Cheng'en Palace has ever used cow's milk. The maids who serve as servants don't know the habits of their masters, but the second-class maids know more or less.
Probably Cai Xia thought she was really stupid because Cai Xia looked really stupid.
Caixia seemed to be unconvinced by her master's punishment and was filled with hatred.
She had to let her master know to be wary of Caixia.
Then, she really brought the milk to Jin Xin. Jin Xin took off her bun and was still used to being afraid of soaking her feet. When she saw Rainbow coming in with milky white foot soaking water, she immediately frowned.
"What kind of water is this?" Jin Xin was slightly unhappy. As soon as she brought it up, was this girl going to make herself unhappy and make herself miserable?
"Your Majesty, it was Sister Caixia who took care of your bedtime affairs before. She just reminded the servant to bring you milk to drink and to soak your feet with milk. Sister Caixia said that she can't let you go, and the slave also agreed to her, and she will definitely take care of you. I'm here to serve you." Caihong looked innocent and sincere.
Jin Xin looked at the bowl of milk and the basin of water, and immediately became displeased and shouted, "Take it down!"
Rainbow quickly followed suit.
Everyone in the palace knew that she couldn't use milk. One sip would cause wheals and rashes all over her body, and Caixia naturally knew that.
After being out for so many days, Caixia has always been waiting for her. How could she not know it?
"Where are the Caixia people?" Jinxin asked.
"I'm still checking in at the inn. I said I was leaving tonight. I'm probably packing my things." Caihong said hurriedly.
Jin Xin couldn't see through this little thought, and wanted to take revenge on herself before leaving.
From this point of view, this girl will not be peaceful in the future.
"Prepare pen and ink." Jin Xin ordered.
Rainbow quickly went to get ready.
He wrote a letter and handed it to Caihong, "Take it and give it to my brother."
Rainbow took the letter and hurried out.
Keeping such a vengeful girl would definitely be a disaster. She was one step away from becoming a queen, and she would not allow any possibility to let this matter slow her down.
As long as she becomes the queen, she no longer needs to compete with those women for the emperor's favor.
She enjoys the dignity of a queen and uprightly supports her mother's family. If she has no fault, the emperor cannot depose the queen. Therefore, before establishing a queen, she must be obedient enough to make the emperor feel that she is always in his hands.
She might not be able to penetrate in a short time in the previous dynasty, but in ten years, who can guarantee what the situation will be like in ten years.
As long as the harem is under my control, everything will be fine.
Therefore, before becoming a queen, she could not allow these unstable factors to exist.
When Rainbow came back, Jin Xin immediately said coldly, "Kneel down."
Caihong was immediately frightened, and quickly knelt down, as if she had resigned herself to her fate, "Your Majesty, this slave is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Jin Xin asked coldly.
"My servant shouldn't be so mean to you." Caihong said with a sad face.
"You really shouldn't be like this. Although you are reminding me intentionally, I hope you can understand that serving me is honor and disgrace. You must express your thoughts clearly and don't use this trick of seeing through it at a glance. If I accidentally hurt you, you would have nowhere to complain."
"I'm wrong. I just want to remind you to be careful about Caixia, but you're also afraid that your Majesty will think you're evil-minded."
"Come on, let's talk about it first. You are now the eldest maid beside me. You act on behalf of me. There is no need to mince words with me."
"Yes, I understand, slave."
"Let's get water again." Jin Xin said calmly.
She had to soak her feet before going to bed. Physician Fang said that a woman's feet should be soaked every day to promote blood circulation, beautify the skin, and sleep well at night. She has never fallen asleep every day since giving birth.
Get ready early in the morning and get ready to board the boat.
On the pier, Jiang Quwu nodded slightly to her, indicating that what he had ordered last night had been completed.
Jin Xin lowered her eyes invisibly in response, then turned around and got on the boat.
The ship's sailing route to Suzhou took about ten days. Along the way, we watched the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, had a drink on the deck at night, and also invited a song and dance troupe to come on board to entertain the emperor.
Looking at the gorges on both sides, the evergreen mountains and the tranquil river, Jin Xin looked back at the emperor sitting in the first place, watching the dancer dance.
This is the resource enjoyed by standing in a high position. Everyone has to flatter you, no one can say anything about your words and deeds, and you have to be careful to accompany you.
But there is an emperor above her, and she still has to humble herself in front of this man.
She sighed deeply, she had to plan for herself.
Now that she thinks about her previous thoughts of competing for favor, she was really naive. What she should have considered was the position of Queen Mother.
If he only stayed in the concubine position and the emperor had an emergency, he would most likely be deprived of his mother by the former minister, and then control her son.
But after becoming a queen and her legitimate son successfully succeeding to the throne, the ministers can't let the queen die, right?
So she thought about it, turned her eyes to the emperor who was looking at her, and smiled back.
The emperor can play as he pleases, and play as he pleases.
