Jin Yao did feel some pain in her hands, so she took the scald ointment in accordance with her words.
The backs of the fingers of both hands were hot red, and it was inconvenient to hold the ointment, so she walked over and whispered, "The emperor...can I help my concubine with medicine?"
Zhao Yuanjing raised his head, took the ointment, glanced at her, and put it down again.
Jin Yao looked at him puzzled.
Zhao Yuanjing shouted outside: "Hong Kong, come here."
A beautiful maidservant came in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the servant is here."
Jin Yao recognized that she was the maid of the emperor's side, and she had been by her side since childhood, and she was trusted by the emperor.
But Jin Yao didn't quite understand, the emperor suddenly asked her to come in.
Zhao Yuanjing pointed to the scald ointment and said, "Hongwang, go and put the ointment on the princess."
Hongyan raised his head and glanced at Jin Yao's hand, and hurriedly responded, picked up the ointment, and carefully applied the medicine to Jin Yao.
"It hurts a little bit, mother and bear it." Hong Kong said softly.
Jin Yao shook her head: "It's fine."
It's okay to talk, but her eyes are still slightly red.
Hong Kong thought she was in pain, and felt a little self-blame, and said: "This tea pouring is originally a slave's business, and the empress shouldn't be allowed to do it."
Jin Yao said nothing.
After the red silk finished the medicine for her, he took away the cup of tea and replaced it again.
Jin Yao stood aside, a little embarrassed.
Zhao Yuanjing reviewed the papers for a while, then looked up and found that she was still there, and said, "Jin Yao, you can go back and rest."
"The concubine retires."
Jin Yao didn't say anything, but bowed to her knees and walked out quietly.
Liu Dequan came in and waited on him and said, "The slave just saw Jin Niangniang's eyes a little red."
Zhao Yuanjing hummed, and said casually: "My hands are hot."
"It's not easy for Jin Niangniang." Liu Dequan said, "The emperor doesn't know yet. Just now the slave was outside. He heard two servants talking about the master, and the slave gave him a severe lesson."
"Oh, who are you talking about?"
Liu Dequan said: "Is talking about Empress Jin, saying that she is the princess, now the emperor is enthroned, and she has not been canonized by the queen, she still bears the name of the princess, which is a nondescript joke..."
"How did you punish those two maids?" Zhao Yuanjing seemed to be more interested in this.
Liu Dequan said: "The minions ordered them to slap each other fifty times and fined them for three months."
"The penalties below are not serious."
Liu Dequan laughed with him: "What the Lord said. It's just two little palace ladies who have just entered Beijing. They are ignorant, so it's fine for a little punishment."
Zhao Yuanjing glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I'm a little curious, what benefit has the Jin family given you? Can you intercede for Jin Yao?"
Liu Dequan hurriedly knelt down: "The minion dare not, the minion is for the sake of the emperor.
"Well, how do you think about me?"
Liu Dequan said: "Now that the emperor is newly enthroned, the crown prince has been sealed, but there is no movement, and the prince is not favored, it will inevitably lead to discussions in the court. It is an obstacle to the emperor's prestige. In addition..."
"What else?" Zhao Yuanjing scanned him sharply.
Liu Dequan shook his back and bowed his head hurriedly: "In addition, the minion is really looking at Jin Niangniang, who is a well-known and noble daughter, and the prince is a concubine, who was originally a supremely honorable concubine, but now he has to suffer a gratuitous laugh..."
"Is it enough?" Zhao Yuanjing said lightly, "I heard that the horse dung has been insufficiently staffed recently and the horse dung cannot be cleaned out in time. Since Manager Liu is so idle, it is better to go there to help and shovel the horse dung for a few days."
