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

Thinking like this, Lu Zhaolin said: "King Xiangnan didn't mean it. It's rare for him to meet someone he likes. It's just that this person happens to be this year's show girl."

After the words fell, Jiang Shiying sneered: "Doctor Zuo Jianyi's family are all from Kyoto, and this daughter has grown up to be fifteen years old in the capital. In the past fifteen years, when did King Xiangnan come to ask for your blessing? Can't we get married? But as soon as this guy participated in the draft, the King of Xiangnan came."

Hearing what she said, Lu Zhaolin's face became even more ugly.

Looking at his face, Jiang Shiying knew that it was almost done and could not go on. If she keeps talking, Lu Zhaolin's anger might be directed at her.

Anyway, by now, regardless of whether Lu Zhaolin should comply with King Xiangnan's request, a rift had arisen between the two.

Speaking of this, the King of Xiangnan actually had no old grudges with Jiang Shiying.

Jiang Shiying is digging a hole for him now because, like Azheng, he is currently the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army.

Based on his title and the relationship between him and Lu Zhaolin, if the position of commander of the Forbidden Army becomes vacant one day, Lu Zhaolin will definitely choose King Xiangnan instead of Azheng.

The Imperial Guard was too important. Jiang Shiying wanted to keep the Imperial Guard in his own hands, so he had to think of ways to pull down King Xiangnan.

As for the eldest daughter of Zuo Jianyi's family, she had an incident with King Xiangnan in the past, so it wouldn't matter if she entered the palace, and she could have a fight with the eldest daughter of the Luzhou governor's family.

Of course, it would have been better for Jiang Shiying if she had not entered the palace and became the Princess of Xiangnan.

At the end of March, Lu Zhaolin finally issued the imperial edict for marriage.

A few days later, in early April, Queen Song passed away in Fengyi Palace.

As soon as she got the news, Jiang Shiying made many arrangements: "Inform all departments and bureaus to remove all the pornographic things.

In particular, the Shangfu Bureau is working hard to sew mourning clothes.

Has Ganquan Palace received the news? What about Shoukang Palace? Have you gone to various palaces to report the news?

······"

Orders were issued one after another from Jingyang Palace.

After things were arranged, Jiang Shiying went into the bedroom to change into plain clothes.

"How is that little atom in the Royal Pharmacy?"

Hongying said: "Last night, he almost drowned in the well. Our people have rescued him and hid him well."

Jiang Shiying said: "Keep an eye on him and don't let him get into trouble."

"Don't worry, Madam." Hongying nodded, and then asked her: "Should we find a way to expose this matter to His Majesty?"

Jiang Shiying smiled and lightly poked her on the forehead: "What a silly girl."

Hongying didn't know why.

Jiang Shiying said: "If this matter is brought directly to His Majesty, the benefits to us will be the lowest."

The Queen is dead and Concubine Zhen has committed a terrible crime, but she still has the Seventh Prince under her knees.

For the sake of the Seventh Prince's face, Lu Zhaolin may not announce this matter.

By quietly causing Concubine Zhen to die of illness, he avenged the queen.

Jiang Shiying wanted more than that. It's not difficult to hold Concubine Zhen down, but the Seventh Prince shouldn't be clean.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Shiying led people to Fengyi Palace.

Not long after, Lu Zhaolin and the concubines arrived, as did the Queen Mother.

Huaping knelt on the ground, crying and replied: "In the past few years, the queen's health has not been very good. Especially in the past half month, she has been vomiting blood almost every day.

At noon today, the queen had lunch and said she was tired and wanted to take a nap. After more than an hour, the empress still didn't appear. The servant went to the bedroom to take a look and found out that the empress had gone. "

At this point, she couldn't bear it anymore and broke down crying.

At this time, no one would hold her accountable for her misconduct. From the Queen Mother to the concubines, everyone had expressions of compassion and sadness.

Lu Zhaolin went in and looked at the queen's remains. After coming out, he was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "The funeral of the queen will be left to the imperial concubine."

Jiang Shiying took a step forward and knelt down: "I obey your order."

Then, she raised her head and asked, "Should we put the draft on hold for now?"

As soon as these words came out, many concubines pricked up their ears, waiting for Lu Zhaolin's answer.

Whether the queen dies or not has little to do with them. Anyway, relying on their favor, even if they want to establish a successor, it will most likely not be their turn.

On the other hand, if the draft is canceled due to the queen's death, it can be considered that the queen's death has blessed the Sixth Palace.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhaolin's answer was not what they expected.

"The draft will proceed as usual."

The next day, the imperial edict was issued from Ganquan Palace.

First, he gave Empress Song the title Xiaoyi, and then said that Empress Xiaoyi was morally upright, benevolent and considerate, and was a good wife. If her death affected the draft, she would probably feel uneasy even if she was alive in heaven, so the draft would be held as scheduled.

Although Jiang Shiying had expected it, when she heard the imperial edict, she still couldn't hold back and cursed him secretly behind his back.

Empress Xiaoyi was still his first wife no matter what. She was absolutely bad and bad, and they were all aimed at the other women in the harem. Lu Zhaolin's behavior made Jiang Shiying somewhat inferior to others.

It stands to reason that since the emperor issued such a decree, the previous dynasty, especially the officials, should not be silent. They must give a few words of advice before they can be called loyal ministers.

But who makes most official families have deep expectations for this draft? If there are twists and turns in the draft, wouldn't it affect their plans?

Therefore, the reaction of the previous dynasty was to follow this decree and praise the late Empress Xiaoyi, and then said that because of Empress Xiaoyi's virtue, she definitely did not want the draft to be shelved due to her death. Not only that, she must see a virtuous and virtuous woman selected into the harem in order to feel at ease.

When these news came to the harem, Jiang Shiying finally got some time off and was sitting with Concubine De, Concubine Fang, and Ning Xiurong having tea.

Concubine De sneered: "Queen Xiaoyi herself may not even know that she is so virtuous."

Concubine Fang also said: "Everyone who speaks nicely is doing it for their own benefit."

Ning Xiurong was a little worried: "I was wondering, once the funeral of Queen Xiaoyi is over, will the former court urge His Majesty to establish a queen?"

As soon as these words came out, the three people and six eyes all looked at Jiang Shiying: "Your Majesty, you should have made preparations early."

In the past few years, the three of them have been closely associated with Jingyang Palace for various reasons.

Rather than letting someone else take the back seat, it would be better to let the imperial concubine, who has long been friends with her, take the post.

Jiang Shiying still looked calm and took a sip of tea: "There's no rush."

Just like the time when I established the imperial concubine a few years ago, the higher someone jumps, the more displeased His Majesty will be.

This matter, if you don't fight, you will fight.

Lu Zhaolin must be willing to hold her up to the throne.
