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

While everyone was still mourning, they heard the little eunuch singing a promise - "The Queen has arrived."

After everyone had finished paying homage to the Queen, no one mentioned Princess Huiming anymore.

The Queen and Princess Huiming are very close, who in the palace doesn't know?

What's more important is that Princess Huiming's consort is the queen's brother.

He is not the kind of relative in the clan whose family is in decline and can only fight against the autumn wind. In his family, there is still a person with the title of Boyang Marquis.

Today's Boyang Hou is Princess Huiming's father-in-law.

No one in Fengyi Palace mentioned this matter again, but there was a huge quarrel in the court.

As soon as he went to court today, Marquis Boyang went out to plead guilty, saying that his son had betrayed the emperor's favor by living in an outside house, and he asked your majesty to punish him.

Lu Zhaolin sat high on the throne, and no one could see his expression clearly. He could only hear him say: "The Jin Dynasty does not prohibit the concubine for the concubine. The concubine has no laws against the concubine. Boyang Hou, please get up."

It's just that whether it is forbidden or not, the royal family is the princess's natal family after all. If the concubine takes a concubine, don't blame yourself for the bumpy official career and the difficulty in officialdom.

Not only did Marquis Boyang not stand up, but he kowtowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for my grandson."

"Oh?" Lu Zhaolin raised his eyebrows: "What happened to Aiqing's grandson?"

Marquis Boyang burst into tears. He first told the story of Princess Huiming's order to drown her two-year-old grandson, and then the story of Princess Huiming's order to beat the outer chamber with a stick and forcefully abort the four-month-old fetus.

After Boyang Marquis, the minister of Dali Temple came out and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday someone came to Dali Temple to accuse Princess Huiming of bullying good people and taking human life lightly."

After the minister of Dali Temple, several famous officials came out to ask Lu Zhaolin to issue an order for severe punishment.

Lu Zhaolin put his hand on his forehead and said after a long while: "We will go to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to investigate this matter clearly. If it is really Princess Huiming's fault, I will definitely not forgive her lightly."

This investigation lasted only one day.

In the harem, Princess Huiming's mother-in-law did not just sit and wait for the result, but went to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay her respects.

When Qiu Yu talked about this matter, her tone was full of gloating: "I heard that Concubine Qian came out of Shoukang Palace in tears. The Queen Mother must not have agreed to help her."

"The Queen Mother has always been fair and strict, so she would never accept such a thing." As she said this, there was no hint of joy in her tone, and her face was full of gloom.

She really didn't expect that Princess Huiming would kill her with such pain after knowing about the outer chamber.

She thought it was just a quarrel between the princess and the consort. After that, the outer room was either sent away or included in the mansion, and the gap between the two people was already formed.

Concubine Qian must be worried about her daughter's unhappy marriage and has no time to trouble her again.

It is inevitable that there will be some discord between the Queen and Princess Huiming.

But I never thought that a two-year-old child lost his life because of this, and another one didn't even have a chance to be born into this world.

Jiang Shiying sighed and stood up.

Qiu Yu asked: "Where are you going, empress?"

Jiang Shiying said: "I will go and copy a scroll of the Purana for those two children."

She felt guilty.

In order to take revenge on Princess Qian and Princess Huiming, she deliberately arranged that chance encounter in Hongyun Tower and harmed those two children.

If she had known that things would go like this, she might as well have just grabbed the princess's hair and asked the official to impeach her in the court as she had originally imagined.

Qiu Yu said: "Your Majesty is kind."

Jiang Shiying sneered, kind? This kind of kindness afterwards is meaningless to the victim!

She calmly and carefully copied a volume of the Sutra of the Past, then called Yu Chengyi over and asked him to send the sutra to Le'an Hall and offer it in front of the Buddha.

As soon as Yu Chengyi left, a young eunuch came in to spread the news that Concubine Qian was visiting.

Jiang Shiying sneered, Concubine Qian was thinking of letting her beloved concubine help blow some air in Lu Zhaolin's ears.

Qiu Yu said, "Do you want to see me, Madam?"

Jiang Shiying put down the tea cup and looked far away: "Concubine Qian is an elder, and she came to visit in person, so I naturally want to see her."

Concubine Qian was invited to the small flower hall.

After the two met, Jiang Shiying quietly sipped tea.

She didn't speak, but Concubine Qian couldn't.

"The tea in Concubine Chen's Palace is the newly introduced Yuqian Longjing Bar this year. It is very refreshing and mellow in the mouth."

Jiang Shiying smiled lightly: "The concubine has good taste."

Just a few words, many more, but not said at all.

Concubine Qian's expression turned stiff, she gently put down the teacup and said, "I came here today because I have something to ask for."

"Oh?" Jiang Shiying raised his eyes and looked at her.

Her behavior made Concubine Qian increasingly dissatisfied. At least she still remembered what she was here for, so she could only say politely: "Huiming, this child, has been a little willful since she was raised in the Tian family. A few days ago, she made some small mistakes accidentally. I came to Concubine Chen's palace today to ask you to help her in front of His Majesty and say a few nice words so that His Majesty can forgive her mistakes."

Jiang Shiying sneered in her heart, these children who grew up in the Tian family are more than a little willful? He is simply extremely arrogant and domineering, with no regard for human life.

She does know who Princess Yongning learned her style from. Isn't it exactly the same as Huiming, her aunt?

Two lives, according to Concubine Qian, were nothing more than a small mistake.

Jiang Shiying almost felt sick in her heart, but she pretended to be ignorant on her face: "I wonder what mistake Princess Huiming made?"

Concubine Qian spoke eloquently, and there were naturally many embellishments in her words.

In her words, the outsider did not know etiquette, was bold and rude in front of Princess Huiming, and had many transgressions. Princess Huiming endured it again and again, and for the sake of royal dignity, she ordered someone to punish her with a cane.

At this point, she sighed: "Who would have thought that the outer room was a poor man, he only received a few canes and then lost his child."

Jiang Shiying lowered her eyes, but Concubine Qian couldn't understand her expression and continued to talk about the two-year-old child.

"Huiming just ordered someone to bring the child to him, wanting to take a closer look at him. Unexpectedly, he was reckless and broke away from the guards. In a panic, he fell into the well and lost his life."

"Concubine Qian." Jiang Shiying looked at her coldly: "The concubine's words are very different from what the adults in the previous dynasty said."

Concubine Qian choked and thought to herself, didn't you say you didn't know what Huiming had done? However, she just said: "The former Yanguan jumped up when he smelled something fishy. It was just a small unintentional mistake. It has to be said that Huiming committed a heinous crime, okay? It seems that they are honest and upright, and they are the great masters of Qingtian who uphold justice."

Jiang Shiying almost laughed out of anger, and curved her lips: "In that case, why did the concubine come to this palace to ask for favors? Go directly to Ganquan Palace to ask for an audience with your majesty, and you can't take part in the sin of those officials who deceived the emperor. alright?"

Concubine Qian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You are His Majesty's pillow. I think His Majesty will listen to your words better."

Jiang Shiying looked at her with clear eyes: "What the concubine said means that your majesty only distinguishes between closeness and distance, not right or wrong?"

Concubine Qian quickly denied: "That's not what I meant."

The coldness between Jiang Shiying's brows melted away and she smiled: "That's the best."

Concubine Qian quietly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue persuading her to plead for mercy when she heard her say: "Since Concubine Qian feels that Princess Huiming only made a small mistake, she should believe in your Majesty's decision. Your Majesty is the princess's biological brother. You won’t have wronged the princess, right?”

At this point, she put down the tea cup: "Qiu Yu, see off the guests!"
