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

After the incident in Shou'an Palace, Jiang Shiying stayed in the palace for about two or three days before returning to Jiang Mansion.

Before leaving the palace, when Jiang Shiying said goodbye to the Queen Mother, she heard her say: "Good boy, you go home first. In a few days, you will be able to stay with the Ai family for a long time."

Jiang Mansion is also very lively these days.

Aunt Lin of Yixia Court, as a good concubine, has the power of housekeeping. In addition, since she was new to the house, Jiang Pengyuan was interested in her and wanted to have a son. He rested at her place almost every day, so many servants in the house surrendered to her.

Another Aunt Mo, who was submissive when facing Madam before, now thinks that both of them are concubines, and she also has a daughter, so she always wants to compete with Aunt Lin. Her status was originally lower than that of Aunt Lin, but Jiang Shiyue, a serious lady, stood on her side, and the fight turned out to be back and forth.

The small Buddhist hall in the main courtyard was not quiet either. Aunt Lin followed Jiang Shiying's order and selected three or four people to serve Madam there, but they were all kicked out for one reason or another.

In Fufeng Courtyard, Jiang Shiying was listening to Qiu Yu reporting the incoming news.

Qiu Yu was very excited: "County Master, the fight between Aunt Lin and Aunt Mo was really exciting."

Jiang Shiying didn't take it seriously: "It can be more lively."

While they were talking, someone came from the front yard and said that the master had returned from his post and asked the county lord to go to the study room in the front yard.

Jiang Shiying had just entered the study and sat down. Before Jiang Pengyuan had time to ask her how she was doing in the palace, she heard Jiang Shiying ask him: "Father, our family has little contact with the Duke Xianchengen's Mansion and the mother-in-law's natal family. Bar?"

Jiang Pengyuan didn't know what she meant, so he replied: "No."

Jiang Shiying asked again: "Is there any grudge?"

"No."

Jiang Pengyuan was confused: "Why did you ask about his family?"

"That's strange. Since there is no contact or enmity, why does the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, want to cause trouble for me and my sister? And she still wants me to marry into the Wang family?" Jiang Shiying wondered.

"What? Asking you to marry into the Wang family? You didn't agree, did you?" Jiang Pengyuan was anxious.

"Of course not." Jiang Shiying shook her head and said, "My daughter is not stupid. Seeing His Majesty's attitude, how dare she have anything to do with their family."

The Wang family of Duke En's Mansion is not a big ship that is about to sink, but a broken ship that has already sunk.

Anyone who dares to get involved with their family will expect to be treated coldly by His Majesty. Ignorance is good, but if you are targeted by His Majesty, you will end up with the same fate sooner or later.

Therefore, no matter how much Concubine Hui wanted to prevent Jiang Shiying from entering the palace, she did not dare to promise her mother, the Empress Dowager, that she would marry into the Wang family. That is a matter of killing a thousand enemies and losing a thousand yourself.

"Perhaps the Queen Mother's move is not because of our family, but because of your recent limelight?" Jiang Pengyuan guessed.

Jiang Shiying disagreed: "I don't think so. If that's the case, then she should have a gentler attitude towards my sister and me. But on the contrary, as soon as she saw our sisters, the Queen Mother gave her a command. And then it was even more sarcastic.”

Jiang Pengyuan rubbed his chin and said, "It shouldn't be. Could it be that your sister was in the palace and offended the Queen Mother?"

"Doesn't father know what kind of person my sister is?" Jiang Shiying said, "My sister has always been considerate in everything she does. I don't think this matter has anything to do with her."

Jiang Pengyuan felt that what she said made sense and continued to speculate on other possibilities.

The housekeeper on the side thought of something and said: "Master, County Lord, I suddenly remembered that the sister of Mrs. Qingyang Hou and the Queen Mother's sister married into the same family."

"No way?" Jiang Shiying looked in disbelief: "Forget it that Marquis Qingyang caused trouble for his father in the previous court, but he also relied on the relationship of the Queen Mother to cause trouble for his sister in the harem? My sister is the niece of Marquis Qingyang. "

Jiang Pengyuan glared at her and said, "It's not all your fault."

Jiang Shiying said: "I didn't expect that Marquis Qingyang would be so stingy."

Jiang Pengyuan didn't say anything, but in his heart he felt that what she said was right. But a trivial matter was worthy of Qingyang Hou's former court and harem being a stumbling block for their family?

At this time, a servant came to report that the madam had sent someone to ask the county lord. The Queen Mother had seen the madam's sincerity.

Jiang Pengyuan looked at Jiang Shiying suspiciously: "What sincerity?"

Jiang Shiying patted her head and said with an annoyed look on her face: "Look, I just wanted to discuss the matter of my mother and the empress dowager with my father. I forgot that my mother is still in the small Buddhist hall."

She first asked her servants to send a message, saying that the Queen Mother had seen Madam's sincerity and that the prayer could be completed successfully.

Then he said to Jiang Pengyuan: "In order to show her piety, my mother copied a volume of the Diamond Sutra in blood and enshrined it in front of the Buddha. My daughter has already presented the Diamond Sutra to the Queen Mother on her behalf. I think the Queen Mother has seen the sincerity of our family."

"Your mother has done a good job." Jiang Pengyuan nodded in approval: "You are also very good."

He would not think about whose blood was used to copy the menstruation. Is his wife's health okay?

He would only think that Madam did a wonderful job and let the Tian family see their family's loyalty. This second daughter also valued the family more than he thought, and did not hide this credit because of her resentment towards her aunt.

Jiang Shiying knew what he wanted to hear and said, "It's all for the Jiang family."

Then, Jiang Shiying seemed to suddenly think of something and said: "By the way, regarding the matter of the Queen Mother, you can also ask your mother to go to Qingyang Hou Mansion and talk to Mrs. Hou."

"This doesn't mean our family is afraid of Qingyang Hou Mansion?" Jiang Pengyuan was not very willing.

Over the years, the people in the Qingyang Marquis Mansion have always looked a bit condescending to him. If they showed kindness at this time, I don’t know how proud they would be.

Besides, it would be too capricious to repair the old relationship just a few days after the breakup.

"We are not afraid of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, but are we doing it for our eldest sister?" Jiang Shiying advised earnestly: "Father, don't just focus on the small things in front of you, don't forget, our family's longer-term plan. But they are all in the palace."

Seeing that he was a little moved, Jiang Shiying advised again: "I know what my father cares about the most is that they act in the name of big sister. In this matter, my mother's mood must be the same as my father's. Father and Speak carefully to mother, and the Hou Mansion will always take her words to heart."

"That's up to you." Jiang Pengyuan agreed.

Jiang Shiying originally wanted to see a fight between the Jiang family and the Qingyang Houfu, a dog-eating-dog drama.

After coming out of Shou'an Palace, she had new plans.

Looking at the look of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, she doesn't look like she will be content in the palace.

Jiang Shiying didn't know who was behind the empress dowager's embarrassment and "granted marriage" this time, but it didn't matter.

The important thing is that from now on, even Qingyanghou's biological sister and brother-in-law will be convinced that this is what Qingyanghou did to take revenge on the Jiang family.

From now on, she would have to tie the Qingyang Hou Mansion and the Empress Dowager more closely, so that when the Queen Mother commits suicide, the Qingyang Hou Mansion can be buried with them.

As for the Jiang family and the Qingyang Houfu, after this confrontation, even if they reconcile in the future, cracks will always exist.

The old cracks will not disappear with the passage of time. New cracks will appear as Aunt Lin's belly grows. Sooner or later, they will look hairy on their mouths.

Next, Jiang Pengyuan asked some questions about the palace, such as whether Concubine Hui was in the palace, whether the Queen Mother was satisfied with Jiang Shiying, and most importantly, whether she had seen His Majesty.

Naturally, Jiang Shiying would not be so stupid as to tell him everything he asked, she would just deal with it perfunctorily.

Just as she was about to return to Fufengyuan, a boy came running over in a hurry.

"Sir, what's wrong, Madam and Aunt Lin got into a fight in Yixia Courtyard."
