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

Jiang Shiying's side.

After sending Yao Xingde away, she ate something in a hurry and asked Qiu Yu to go back to catch up on her sleep. She also returned to the dormitory to catch up on her sleep.

When I woke up, it was already lunch time.

Apart from the comfort brought by a good night's sleep, the most obvious feeling is hunger.

Yu Chengyi personally took people to pick up the meal. While setting the table for her, he introduced the dishes to her one by one.

Finally, he pointed to a plate of snacks and said, "This is what the kitchen manager insisted me to bring to you. It is a new trick they have just developed recently. Please give it a try."

It's said to be a taste of something new, but actually it's just to please.

Jiang Shiying nodded and said something: "You are an old man in the palace. I don't need to mention the standards for dealing with the outside world. You have mastered it yourself."

Now that she had just accepted the favor, everything seemed to be in full bloom, so everyone in the palace greeted her with smiles.

If one day she is not favored by His Majesty, even though she will not be stepped on in the mud, after all, the Queen Mother is still there, but the flattery will probably be gone, and at most she will just act according to the rules.

Yu Chengyi understood what she meant and said: "Don't worry, I have seen too many of these people in the palace who are flattering and scorning others. I will not make any mistakes and lose our people in Jingyang Palace."

Seeing that he knew what he was thinking, Jiang Shiying said no more.

After dinner, Jiang Shiying took people to Shoukang Palace.

As soon as she left, Bai Lu arrived next to Concubine Hui and invited her to Yonghe Palace again.

Bai Lu went back and reported to Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui's face was extremely ugly.

It's no wonder that she, a second-grade concubine, invites a third-grade concubine over and over again, only to be met with failure. It's strange that she looks good.

"How about you go to Shoukang Palace too?" Bai Lu looked at her face and asked carefully.

Concubine Hui slammed the table angrily and said, "What do you mean? She doesn't care about coming, so why should I chase her to Shoukang Palace?"

"I don't dare." Bai Lu quickly knelt down.

········

Unlike the condensed atmosphere in Yonghe Palace, the Shoukang Palace was filled with laughter at this time.

Seeing Jiang Shiying being introduced into the palace, the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother pointed to the things on the table and said, "I knew you were coming. The fruit drink has been prepared for you. Come and sit here at Ai's house."

However, Jiang Shiying did not continue walking forward, but stopped in the center of the palace, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "I, my concubine, my concubine, pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"You child, why are you sitting down to perform such a great ceremony?" The Queen Mother scolded: "Why don't you get up quickly."

Jiang Shiying stood up, her eyebrows curved and she said: "My status is different, I have to give you a gift.

There is no need to explain in detail what exactly is different, they both know it in their minds.

The Queen Mother clapped her hand and said, "The Ai family didn't want you to enter the palace originally, but the emperor made the decree directly."

If it's a draft, there's still room for maneuver. But with the imperial edict of invitation, Jiang Shiying had no way out.

It's not that I don't like her, but because I like her, I hope she can live more freely outside the palace.

Jiang Shiying understood her unfulfilled intention and said: "Mother Queen Mother, this is a good thing. Your Majesty's decree is to support Ah Ying. Besides, think about it, even without Your Majesty's decree, Ah Ying would have wanted to Those who participated in the draft are probably learning the rules with other show girls in the Chuxiu Palace. How nice it is now, I don’t have to learn the rules painfully, and I can still drink tea and have snacks with you here. "

The Queen Mother said: "Yes, your father must have tried his best to send you to the palace. From this point of view, it is better to recruit you into the palace."

Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows and said, "It's better to send her to the palace. If I don't choose the draft, but stays at home, I still don't know who I will be betrothed to."

The Queen Mother frowned: "In this entire Jiang family, except for our grandma, no one is good."

Mrs. Jiang framed the concubine, and Miss Jiang was the accomplice. She also heard about Jiang Jing's virtues from Liu Baoshan, and Jiang Pengyuan only saw interests and no family affection.

Concubine Hui used to look good, but her behavior was revealed before.

Only Jiang Shiying, although she has some small thoughts of her own, puts everything on her face and has no use for plotting. If you like it, you just like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, honestly.

"It's hard for you to grow up in that mansion." The Queen Mother sighed.

Jiang Shiying couldn't help but laugh: "My dear, I'm not as miserable as you think, really."

Seeing the disbelief on the Queen Mother's face, Jiang Shiying said: "Although the relationship between Ah Ying and the Jiang family is a little weak. But Master treated Ah Ying very well since she was a child, and she was both teacher and mother to Ah Ying. And now there are still You love Ah Ying, and to say it disrespectfully, Ah Ying regards you as a mother in her heart. Your Majesty treats Ah Ying well and is an excellent husband. And His Royal Highness Prince Jing is like Ah Ying’s biological brother. You Look, I already have all the relatives I should have, isn’t that great?”

The more she behaves like this, the more the Queen Mother feels sorry for her.

After another long while, someone from the palace came to report that the queen had arrived.

The queen came to Shoukang Palace this time for the purpose of the draft.

Two days before Jiang Shiying entered the palace, the primary and secondary elections for this election had ended. In a few days, it will be the palace election.

"Everything should be done as usual," the Queen Mother said.

"Then it's still in Chengyou Hall. There are only three seats at the top, and there are only seats for the concubine and sister on the side." The queen said.

The first three seats are naturally the Mother Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen.

As for the queen mother, the empress dowager, the queen didn't even mention it. She understands her position very well and knows which side she should be on.

"The Ai family is always at ease when you do things." The Queen Mother said, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed very harmonious.

After the queen entered the palace, Jiang Shiying stood up, and then sat down properly.

At this time, looking at Jiang Shiying, the queen suddenly said: "How about setting up a small table for the concubine, so that the concubine can accompany you."

She didn't do this out of good intentions, but to bring hatred to Jiang Shiying.

In matters such as palace selection, among the concubines in the palace, only noble concubines are qualified to participate. If Jiang Shiying also went, even under the guise of accompanying the Queen Mother, it would be extremely conspicuous.

"Don't the queen always value rules?" The queen mother just nodded to her: "This idea is not very in line with the rules."

The queen's heart tightened and she said, "What you are saying is that my concubine has gone astray."

In fact, as soon as she said the words, she realized that something was wrong.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything serious and just ignored the matter.

Jiang Shiying originally wanted to stay in Shoukang Palace for dinner, but when there was still an hour before dinner, she was urged by the Queen Mother to return to Jingyang Palace.

The Queen Mother meant well and thought that Lu Zhaolin might flip her sign tonight and ask her to go back and prepare as soon as possible.

However, until the moon was high, there was no news from the Jingsi Room.

Jiang Shiying took a book to read under the lamp, and Yu Chengyi came in to report: "Mother, I have heard that your Majesty did not turn over the signs tonight."

Don't ask random questions about the news of Ganquan Palace, but the ministerial office is not like an iron bucket.

Jiang Shiying nodded and said, "In that case, there's no need to wait any longer. Let's all rest."

After that, Lu Zhaolin did not enter the harem for ten days in a row.

This development was really unexpected by everyone in the harem.

Concubine Jia was born with such a troublesome appearance. They thought that His Majesty would have to check her cards for several nights in a row. Who would have thought that not only did he not continue to check her cards, but he even stopped entering the harem?

Even Concubine Li, Concubine Hui, and even Yu Zhaoyi, who had been forgotten for a long time, were carried to Ganquan Palace in a few nights after they were favored for the first time.

I didn't hear anything big happened in the previous dynasty. This thing is really hard for people to understand.

Some people even secretly speculated that maybe His Majesty doesn’t like things that are too pretty? But such speculation is outrageous no matter how you think about it.

Or, what did Concubine Jia do that night to offend His Majesty?

No matter what others think, the imperial concubine has already confirmed this idea in her heart.

She said that in the past, when she said she was unwell and asked someone to invite His Majesty, His Majesty would usually come. His Majesty didn't come that night, so he must have been stopped by the concubines. Although His Majesty didn't come, he must have annoyed Concubine Jia, so he stayed away from the harem for so many days.
