The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Early the next morning, Jiang Shiying took Qiu Yu onto the carriage sent by the palace.

As Jiang Shiying expected, after much hesitation, Mrs. Jiang chose to copy another volume of the Diamond Sutra. After these two days, I guess Qiu Shuang needs to replenish his blood.

Mrs. Jiang may have learned the lesson from yesterday to prevent Jiang Shiying from accidentally dropping all the Buddhist scriptures on the ground and ruining her hard work again, so she put the Buddhist scriptures in a delicate sandalwood box.

In the spacious carriage, Jiang Shiying watched Qiu Yu carefully inspect the Buddhist scriptures and the box over and over again, then held her hand and said, "Okay, there won't be any problem."

After all, this is to be presented to the Queen Mother. If there is anything that should not be brought along, the entire Jiang family will not be able to escape. Mrs. Jiang does not have the courage.

The carriage stopped outside Cheng'an Gate. Jiang Shiying got off the carriage neatly without Qiu Yu's help.

The little eunuch following the car led Jiang Shiying and his servant into Cheng'an Gate, where they saw a beautiful aunt with a smile on her face standing not far away.

"I've met Aunt Qingshan."

Aunt Qingshan smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

At Jiang Shiying's signal, Qiu Yu gave the little eunuch a piece of broken silver: "Thank you, little father-in-law, for leading the way."

The little eunuch completed his task, bowed and left.

Here, Aunt Qingshan looked at Jiang Shiying and said, "I have met the Lord of Jiayi County."

Jiang Shiying helped Aunt Qingshan up and said, "Auntie, you're welcome."

"The Queen Mother of the Holy Mother has ordered the servants to welcome the county lord into the palace. The servants have ordered people to prepare a soft sedan chair."

In the Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother Mother looked at her youngest son who was obviously unable to sit still and said: "She has already entered the palace and Qingshan has gone to pick her up. Why are you anxious?"

Prince Jing was a little embarrassed and refused to admit it: "My son is not in a hurry."

"Don't worry, who is going to look outside the door after a while? I wish I could have a pair of ears and clairvoyance, so that I can see the movement of Cheng'an Gate while sitting in Shoukang Palace." Queen Mother Notre Dame joked, feeling more and more interested in Jiang Shi Ying was interested.

Her little son had been held in the palms of her and his royal brother's hands since he was a child. Even those princes have to retreat in front of this little uncle.

There are too many people who want to please him, but there are very few who can really make him feel good.

She originally just wanted to introduce Jiang Shiying to the palace, meet her, and see what kind of person she was first. If it is really good, we can call more people in for talks in the future. If they weren't so close to each other, as long as Jiang Shiying didn't do anything bad, she would have protected her throughout her life.

However, this younger son praised his "Sister Ah Ying" to the highest degree in heaven and on earth. Liu Baoshan came back from announcing the decree that day and was full of praise when asked about it. Then she issued an order to summon Jiang Shiying to stay in the palace for a while.

The mother and son were talking when someone reported that the Lord of Jiayi County had arrived.

Prince Jing couldn't sit still anymore and stood up from the chair.

Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother smiled and said: "Why don't you invite the county master to come in? You can't wait until you see Prince Jing."

When Jiang Shiying entered the palace, she saw a woman with beautiful eyebrows and clear eyes sitting at the front. She knew in her heart that this was the Queen Mother.

"My lord, I pay my respects to the Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager. I wish you happiness, longevity, and health." Jiang Shiying saluted respectfully.

"No need to be polite, just get up and sit down." The Queen Mother was very gentle.

Jiang Shiying looked at the Queen Mother and thought, except for a faint trace of sadness between her brows, the years seemed to have left no trace on her body. Even though she has passed her forties, she can still be called a rare beauty.

Coincidentally, the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother looked at Jiang Shiying and also thought, it really is the beauty of heaven and country! There has always been no shortage of beauties of all kinds in this palace, but in front of the Lord of Jiayi County, they all overshadowed them. She has always liked good colors, and just looking at this face, she already had a favorable impression.

Seeing Jiang Shiying holding a box in her hand, the Queen Mother asked, "What is that in your hand?"

Jiang Shiying replied: "My mother, grateful for the kindness of the Heavenly Family, prayed for Your Majesty and the Queen Mother in the Buddhist hall, and copied a volume of the Heart Sutra and offered it in front of the Buddha."

With that said, Jiang Shiying handed the box to Aunt Qingshan.

Aunt Qingshan opened the box and said, "Madam, this is a volume of blood menstruation."

The Queen Mother took it, looked at it carefully, and then nodded: "Your mother is interested."

On the side, Prince Jing had been waiting for a long time.

"Sister Ah Ying, I've finally met you! How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Prince Jing said proudly, "I won our bet that day!"

Jiang Shiying pretended to sigh: "Hey, I'm willing to admit defeat. What kind of bonus does His Highness Prince Jing want?"

"I have not decided yet."

"Then your Highness, think about it slowly. You can come to me to cash it in at any time. How about that?"

"A word is settled!"

"What bet?" Seeing the two of them chatting lively, the Queen Mother asked.

Prince Jing answered first: "Mother, let me tell you, when sister Aying rescued me that day, she asked me whose child I was. I told her that I was Prince Jing, but she didn't believe me."

Jiang Shiying explained with a smile: "I thought to myself at that time, His Royal Highness Prince Jing, who is so noble and noble, just went out to play in the palace, and he must have brought a lot of guards and servants with him, how could he end up in this situation."

When it came to the guards and servants who were thrown away, Prince Jing felt a little unreasonable. This was indeed his fault. He acted carelessly and put himself in a dangerous situation.

So King Jing coughed and said: "Let's not mention this for now. Sister Aying didn't believe that I was King Jing, so I asked her to send me directly back to the palace but she refused. So we made a bet and she sent me to Enqinghou. Mansion, if I am not kicked out within an hour, I win. If I am kicked out within an hour, she wins."

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Shiying with a gentler look: "You refused to send him back to the palace directly. Are you worried that if he is not Prince Jing, he will lose his life if he runs to the palace gate and pretends to be a relative of the emperor?"

Jiang Shiying nodded: "Part of the reason is this."

"Then what's part of the reason?"

"At that time, I thought to myself, if this little beggar is really Prince Jing, but has ended up like this, something may have happened in the palace. It is difficult to guarantee that all the guards at the palace gate are reliable. What if there is a problem with the guards at the palace gate? , You clearly know his identity, but you pretend not to know him? I really don’t dare to take this risk."

Jiang Shiying's guess was very bold, but also very reasonable.

Prince Jing looked at her blankly. Jiang Shiying didn't say this that day. He had no idea she was thinking so much.

The Queen Mother continued to ask: "After you sent him to Enqinghou Mansion that day, did you really wait outside for an hour?"

Jiang Shiying nodded: "I thought to myself, even if he was really audacious and falsely identified himself, the Enqing Hou Mansion might just treat him as a silly child and just beat him up and throw him out without risking his life. If he is really beaten out, I can just pick him back up."

Prince Jing was proud of winning the bet just now, but now he felt warm in his heart.

"Good boy." The Queen Mother waved to Jiang Shiying: "Come here and sit next to Ai's house."

The three-point favorable impression when we first met has now turned into a ten-point.

Jiang Shiying followed her words and the Queen Mother took her hand and looked at her kindly: "Good boy, can the Ai family call you Aying?"

Seeing her nodding obediently, the Queen Mother continued: "I heard from Xiao Shi that you were so brave that day. Several grown men were no match for you?"

Jiang Shiying had heard that Prince Jing was ranked tenth among brothers, and the "little ten" in the Queen Mother's mouth refers to Prince Jing.

Before she could answer, she heard Prince Jing on the side interjecting excitedly: "The Queen Mother didn't see that five kidnappers rushed towards me and Sister Ah Ying, and in the blink of an eye, they were all kicked away by Sister Ah Ying! "

Seeing him eager to start making gestures, the Queen Mother smiled, then looked at Jiang Shiying and said: "You have such good skills at a young age, which shows that talent and toughness are indispensable."

Unlike the concubines the Queen Mother was familiar with, Jiang Shiying did not pretend to be modest, but said with a crooked look on her face, "I thank you for your compliment."

The Queen Mother liked her look like this, like the summer evening breeze, clean and refreshing. She patted her hand gently and asked: "Nowadays, few daughters practice martial arts. How did you come up with this idea? It's still like this." Persevere and learn such good martial arts?"

"Probably because Ah Ying was always bullied when she was a child. At that time, Ah Ying just hoped that someone could protect Ah Ying. Later, she hoped that she could be the one to protect herself." Jiang Shiying's eyes , all seem to be a little wistful because of the memories.

The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "The Ai family remembers that you are a girl from Jiang Shangshu's house. How could you be bullied?"

As she asked this question, she suddenly remembered that when Liu Baoshan came back from delivering the message that day, when he mentioned the Jiang family, he said that Mrs. Jiang seemed not as kind and gentle as the rumors said.

Next to him, Prince Jing was even more anxious: "Who bullied Sister Ah Ying? I will avenge Sister Ah Ying!"
