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

Upon hearing this, the servant who was dragging her stopped.

This gave Qiu Shuang a chance. She climbed up to Jiang Shiying in two or three steps and said, "My queen, Qiu Shuang is yours. A few days ago, I sent you a message telling you about your wife's conspiracy."

"Oh?" Jiang Shiying seemed a little surprised: "But you didn't tell me there was something wrong with the hairpin."

"My slave doesn't know. It turns out that the lady has tampered with the hairpin. If I knew about it, I would definitely tell the queen."

After saying that, Qiu Shuang kept kowtowing and begged Jiang Shiying to believe in her loyalty.

"Stop knocking, I believe you can't do it." Jiang Shiying said, sighing, her tone seemed a little unbearable: "Look, it's all bruised, a beautiful face, so damaged It’s like this.”

"As long as the empress believes in me, I can do whatever I want." Qiu Shuang was still showing her loyalty.

"Of course I believe you. Didn't I say that I will find a good place for you?" Jiang Shiying said.

Qiu Shuang couldn't believe that she was so easy to talk to. A good place, could it be that he wanted to take her into the palace?

However, the next moment, Jiang Shiying was heard saying: "Jing'er is already thirteen, and it's time to have a caring person by your side. From today on, you can go and serve Jing'er in his room."

Qiu Shuang was shocked. Although Jiang Jing was young, he had already passed the personnel affairs. Moreover, he has a violent personality, and two little maids have been tortured to death by him. Even the maids in the mansion knew about this, they were just hiding it from the master.

Before the words of rejection were spoken, Mrs. Jiang over there heard this and said angrily: "Little bitch, you are a sister, how dare you interfere in your brother's affairs?"

Jiang Shiying smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, go and teach Madam how to behave when talking to concubines."

Aunt Lin responded simply, then stepped forward and slapped her: "It's so courageous to insult the concubine Jia. Madam, please behave yourself. It doesn't matter if you harm the Qingyang Mansion, don't harm our Jiang Mansion." .”

Jiang Pengyuan originally felt that it was outrageous to ask an aunt to teach Madam a lesson, so he wanted to stop her. When I heard her say this, I felt that it made some sense.

After Aunt Lin slapped her several times, Jiang Shiying shouted to stop.

Then, she said: "Who said that I, the older sister, would interfere in my younger brother's affairs?"

Mrs. Jiang didn't understand what she meant, but Aunt Lin was obedient and said: "Exactly, it's clear that Madam is going to be grounded for half a year, so she can't worry about the young master, so she gives the young master her caring people. Among them are the concubines. What's the matter, ma'am?"

The surrounding servants all agreed. At this moment, even if Jiang Shiying wants to call a deer a horse, they will still say that the empress is right and that the empress has good eyesight.

Even Jiang Pengyuan didn't want to show off with Jiang Shiying on such a trivial matter. She's just a maid, so Jing'er accepted her as well.

After everyone dispersed, Jiang Pengyuan looked at Jiang Shiying's face and said, "Your mother did this without telling me. Don't have any barriers to our family because of her."

"What did father say?" Jiang Shiying looked at him with disapproval: "You and I both have the surname Jiang. How come there is any barrier to our own family just because my mother has a foreign surname?"

Hearing what she said, Jiang Pengyuan was temporarily relieved.

He said: "You are a very ambitious person. You were invited into the palace by His Majesty and you were granted the title of concubine for the first time. Don't worry, my father will do his best to help you."

Jiang Shiying agreed with a smile, but she was thinking in her heart, okay, then just help me and go to hell obediently.

Time goes back to two hours ago.

In the imperial palace, outside the Ganquan Palace where the emperor lived.

Concubine Hui was wearing a plain snow-green gown, without any makeup, and only had a jade hairpin on her head. She said to the young eunuch guarding the door, "I would like to ask my father-in-law to pass the news on my behalf. Concubine Hui has come to apologize."

"My dear, wait a moment."

After the flower viewing banquet at Enqinghou Mansion ended yesterday, Enqinghou Mansion sent someone to deliver the news to the palace.

In other palaces, those who had women in the palace and had channels to pass on news also handed in letters.

What happened at the flower viewing banquet was unknown to the lower-ranking concubines, but the high-ranking concubines knew it all.

Only with Concubine Hui, Mrs. Jiang did not bother to deliver a letter to her. Jiang Peng never expected this, and Jiang Shiying was not so kind.

She could know this news thanks to Concubine Li, who always disliked her.

Today in Fengyi Palace, when the concubines paid their respects to the queen, Concubine Li carefully described what happened at the flower viewing banquet yesterday in front of all the concubines.

After five years in the palace, Concubine Hui felt that her face was burning and painful for the first time. Even back then, when she first entered the palace with a low status, she had never felt such humiliation.

But at that time, after hearing Concubine Li's words, she could only kneel down and plead guilty: "My mother and uncle's family did this. I am guilty. Please punish me, the Queen."

There is no need to quibble, and there is no need to find any excuses for my mother.

There is no fool in this palace, and it is absolutely clear what role my mother played in this matter.

Therefore, she had no other choice but to apologize directly.

What's more, even if you want to quibble, it only makes sense in front of His Majesty.

The queen had obviously known about this for a long time, and there was no trace of surprise on her face. She just said calmly: "What they did has nothing to do with you. Get up quickly."

As soon as the greetings were over, Concubine Hui hurried back to the palace, changed her clothes, and then rushed outside Ganquan Palace.

Now thinking of the gloating expression on Concubine Li's face and her heart-piercing words, Concubine Hui felt itching with hatred.

After waiting for a long time, the eunuch Yao Xingde finally arrived.

"I have seen Concubine Hui. Your Majesty is waiting for you to come in."

Concubine Hui followed Yao Xingde to the front hall of Ganquan Palace. From a distance, she saw several officials coming out of the front hall and heading forward. Among them, it seems that her father is included.

As soon as she entered the front hall, Concubine Hui knelt down and said, "I am guilty, your majesty, please punish me."

"Yao Xingde, help Concubine Hui get up."

Concubine Hui refused to get up: "When I paid my respects to the Queen today, I just learned from Concubine Li what happened at the flower appreciation banquet at Enqinghou Mansion yesterday."

These words are giving Li Fei eye drops. Although the palace does not strictly prohibit the concubines from interacting with their mother's family, Concubine Li was able to talk about what happened just yesterday this morning. The speed of this message transmission is too fast, right?

Sure enough, Lu Zhaolin frowned and said, "Concubine Li, she has always been unforgiving, and she must have made you angry again today."

Concubine Hui has always been gentle and virtuous, and of course she would not blame Concubine Li. She said, "Don't blame Concubine Li. It was my mother and the Qingyang Marquis who did something wrong. As a woman, I should come to your majesty on behalf of my mother." Please forgive me and please punish me."

When he said that he didn't blame Concubine Li, he admitted that Concubine Li had made her angry again.

However, the next moment, Lu Zhaolin was heard saying: "There is no need to mention the Qingyang Marquis Mansion anymore. There is no Qingyang Marquis Mansion, only Qingyang Bo Mansion."

Concubine Hui's heart sank, but she could only say: "Your Majesty is wise."

Seeing that she did not plead for mercy, Lu Zhaolin thought to himself that Concubine Hui was still sensible. This matter cannot be blamed on her.

So, Lu Zhaolin stood up and came over, helped her up personally, and said, "How could you know what they did in the palace? This is not your fault. If you apologize, there is no need to mention it again."

His Majesty came to help him personally, so of course Concubine Hui could no longer hold Qiao.

Following Lu Zhaolin's efforts, Concubine Hui looked at his expression, and it seemed that she was not angry at her, so she tried to say: "I really didn't expect that my mother has always been kind, how could she suddenly do this?" Something like this happened.”

Lu Zhaolin patted her hand and said, "You have been in the palace for five years, and you don't know what changes have taken place in your family."

This is actually untrue.

Although Concubine Hui is in the palace, since she became the lord of the first palace, the female relatives of the family have the opportunity once a month to enter the palace to see her.

Not long ago, Concubine Hui met Mrs. Jiang once.

But Lu Zhaolin obviously didn't want to trace this matter to Concubine Hui, so the people serving him naturally wouldn't insist on reminding him of this out of spite.

Concubine Hui continued: "My mother has always loved her two cousins. This time, maybe she couldn't bear my cousin's request, so she made the wrong decision."

By saying this, he wanted to blame everything this time on Uncle Qingyang's house. It was Zhao Mingyu of Qingyang House who had evil intentions towards Jiang Shiying and tried to taint her innocence. Her mother only loved her juniors so much that she made the wrong mistake.

Lu Zhaolin frowned and his voice became cold: "If you love your nephew, do you care about the life and death of your concubine?"

Concubine Hui felt bad and hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't care about the life and death of my concubine, it's just that my mother has always had a grudge against my second sister."

As she spoke, she told the story again about the maid crawling onto the bed and the mistress having a miscarriage.

Lu Zhaolin did not interrupt her, but listened to her coldly. He had already heard about these things from the Queen Mother.

His thoughts were the same as those of the Queen Mother and Prince Jing. This was a matter of the previous generation, so blaming Jiang Shiying was really difficult for him to understand.

Not only did he not regard Jiang Shiying's background as a shortcoming, on the contrary, he really felt sorry for her difficulties.

He lost his biological mother when he was born, and was bullied by his slaves when he was young. However, he did not develop a resentful, dark and depressed character. Instead, he was self-reliant, optimistic, kind, sincere and straightforward.

Therefore, after Concubine Hui finished speaking, the smile on Lu Zhaolin's face had completely disappeared. He looked at Concubine Hui and said, "Concubine Hui, I thought you were a good sister."

Concubine Hui did not expect that her words not only failed to remove her mother, but also trapped herself in it.

She wanted to explain: "Your Majesty——"

Lu Zhaolin interrupted her and said, "Concubine Hui, do you know what I like about you?"

"I don't know."

"I like you to be knowledgeable, gentle and sensible." Lu Zhaolin said, patted her face and said, "So you must not change. Only if you are obedient will I pamper you. Do you understand?"

He actually doesn't care whether the concubines in this palace are really kind, really simple and beautiful. But in front of him, they had better pretend to be more similar.

Just like no one really cares whether their pets fight with each other. But in front of their owners, they must be well-behaved and cute enough.
