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

After the fire incident was investigated here, Lu Zhaolin knew that nothing would be found in a short time.

He felt a little upset, threw away the jade and purple hair pen in his hand, stood up and said: "Show me in Jingyang Palace."

He took two steps outside, stopped again, and said, "Bring the unfinished papers with you."

After arriving at Jingyang Palace, he asked Yu Chengyi, "Where is your master?"

Yu Chengyi replied: "To answer your Majesty's question, the empress is in Dongnuan Pavilion."

As soon as he entered the door of Dongnuang Pavilion, he saw several boxes on the ground, and the kang by the window was also covered with things.

Lu Zhaolin asked: "What are you doing? It looks lively."

When Jiang Shiying heard his voice, she turned around with a look of surprise on her face: "I've seen your majesty before. Your majesty came very early today."

At this time in the past, he was mostly in Ganquan Palace handling government affairs.

Lu Zhaolin helped her up, pointed to the zhezi held in Yao Xingde's arms, and said, "It's boring to criticize zhezi alone in Ganquan Palace, so I just came to you."

Jiang Shiying smiled and said: "Then I will accompany your majesty."

In her heart, she was somewhat shocked.

In the past, Lu Zhaolin often wore red sleeves when handling government affairs, but he always summoned his concubines to Ganquan Palace to accompany him.

This is the first time that I have entered the harem with a zhezi.

Lu Zhaolin pointed to the things on the ground and the kang and asked, "When I came in, I saw that your place was full of things. I thought I was going to change my career to open a grocery store."

Jiang Shiying gave him an angry look and said, "No."

Then she took his hand, walked to the heated kang, and said, "Isn't it the beginning of winter? In the past two days, all the winter supplies were sent to me. Ah Ying has nothing to do today. , let them take out all the fur materials in the package, look at them, and choose one to make a cloak and a cloak to wear when it snows."

Lu Zhaolin also became interested: "I'm here to help you choose."

However, no matter whether it was the ones in the box or the ones on the kang, he couldn't get enough of them.

I saw him frowning: "Does the Secretary of Internal Affairs use these things to deal with you?"

It was just yesterday that the imperial dining room treated a pregnant concubine harshly, and today it happened again.

Lu Zhaolin thought to himself that these slaves in the harem should really be taught a lesson.

Looking at his expression, Jiang Shiying knew what he was thinking. She chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, where did you go? By saying this, you have wronged the Secretary of Internal Affairs.

Your Majesty treats Aying well, who in this palace doesn’t know? How could the Secretary of Internal Affairs dare to deal with and neglect Ah Ying? These are the things that should be part of your concubine's status. "

Hearing this, Lu Zhaolin looked at Yao Xingde and asked him: "These are the things in your concubine's status?"

Yao Xingde nodded and said: "In response to Your Majesty's words, it is indeed true."

Lu Zhaolin rummaged through the skins again, then turned around and said to Yao Xingde: "Go to my private treasury and pick out some good skins for your noble concubine, including fox skins, ermine skins, and mink skins. Get some."

Yao Xingde was about to accept the order and leave when he saw Jiang Shiying tugged on Lu Zhaolin's sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, fox and ermine skins are just fine, but mink skins can only be used by concubines and above."

If she didn't say anything, Lu Zhaolin had forgotten about this. Hearing the words, he said: "Then take a few more fox skins and ermine skins. I remember that I shot a white fox skin with my own hands during the last hunt. Is it still in the warehouse?" Where is it?"

Yao Xingde nodded and said yes.

Lu Zhaolin said: "You can also bring that piece of white fox skin."

After Yao Xingde accepted the order and exited, Lu Zhaolin took Jiang Shiying's hand and said: "Your concubine's status is still too low, and there are not many good things in the quota. Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't be able to use it. Wait. I'll find an opportunity and give you another promotion point."

If other people heard what he said, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.

Jiang Shiying only entered the palace in May this year, and was granted the title of concubine when she was first appointed. She was promoted to concubine at the end of July, and it has not been three months yet. Lu Zhaolin still feels that her status is low and he has wronged her. He wants to give her a chance to continue to rise.

Jiang Shiying didn't care what others thought. Hearing this, he stretched out his little finger, blinked and said: "Then I'll remember it. I promise you that your majesty will not lie to her."

Lu Zhaolin extended his little finger lovingly, hooked it with hers, and said, "Have I ever lied to you?"

Jiang Shiying hugged him and said in a sweet tone that she could drown him: "Your Majesty is the best!"

At this time, Qiu Yu and others had already collected everything on the kang and on the ground.

Lu Zhaolin pulled her to sit down and picked up the tea cup she was half-drinking. After taking a sip, his whole face wrinkled up: "What are you drinking? Why is it so sweet and spicy?"

Jiang Shiying said: "It's the red date ginger tea ordered by Zhao Yuanshi, Your Majesty, did you forget it?"

When she said this, Lu Zhaolin remembered. When he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel sad that she was poisoned and then fell into the water. Otherwise, she had practiced martial arts since she was a child and was in good health. Why would she need to drink these things every day?

Jiang Shiying didn't want to talk too much about this topic. He could think of these things by himself, but it wouldn't be right if she talked too much.

She only said: "A Ying asked them to make purple bamboo shoots for His Majesty."

Just as he was about to give the order, he turned around and asked him: "Hey, I suddenly remembered that Concubine Jin sent someone to deliver homemade osmanthus tea a few days ago. Would your Majesty want to try it?"

Lu Zhaolin said: "Let's go with purple bamboo shoots. I can't get used to drinking osmanthus tea."

When Qiu Yu took the order to make tea, Lu Zhaolin said: "I know that Concubine Jin makes osmanthus tea by herself every year, but in previous years I only saw her drinking it by herself. Why did she send it to you this year? Do you two like each other?"

This time, he didn't think about the concubine uniting the party, but felt that she didn't have any good concubines in the harem.

Concubine Qi has such an unpleasant temperament, yet Yu Zhaoyi treats her sincerely.

Ah Ying is so lovable, how can she not have any friends that she can talk to?

Jiang Shiying shook her head and said: "It's hard to say whether we are in love or not. Ah Ying and Concubine Jin have never had any contact with each other. It wasn't the day that Zhen Meiren almost had an accident. When Ah Ying left Yongfu Palace, she saw the corridor of Yongfu Palace. The osmanthus was being dried, so I asked a few questions out of curiosity. Concubine Jin might have thought that Ying also liked osmanthus tea, so she sent someone to bring it."

She only said this, not mentioning her conjecture. If one day Lu Zhaolin finds new clues, he will naturally think of this matter and make connections. If not, even saying it will be useless for the time being.

While talking, Qiu Yu had already served tea to Lu Zhaolin, and Jiang Shiying's red date and ginger tea had also been replaced with a new one.

Lu Zhaolin continued to ask her: "In this harem, do you not have anyone you like?"

Jiang Shiying stretched out her right index finger, pointed at him gently, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have a good rapport with His Majesty."

Lu Zhaolin was amused by her and stretched out his right finger, but he scratched her nose and said, "I'm talking about these concubines."

Jiang Shiying grabbed his hand, put it in her palm and played with it, while saying: "Ah Ying is so favored, who in the harem is not jealous of Ah Ying? Except Ning Bin because of the fourth prince I often come and go with a bit of sincerity. Others are really trying to get in on me, either because they want to get some benefits from Ah Ying, or they have ulterior motives."

What she said made sense to Lu Zhaolin, and he sighed: "I'm just afraid that if you don't fall in love with me, you'll be bored by yourself all day long."

Jiang Shiying was lowering her head and playing with his hands, but when she heard this, she raised her head, looked at him and said, "Your Majesty is worried that I'm bored, so please come and spend more time with me!"

Lu Zhaolin laughed: "I haven't been with you enough?"

He would only enter the harem or recruit people to Ganquan Palace for about twenty days in a month. In the past twenty days, more than ten days have been occupied by her.

Jiang Shiying had a serious look on her face: "I like His Majesty and want to stay with Him all the time. I will only feel that it is not enough. How can I feel that there is enough?"

If these words were said by others, it would be an invitation to favor, but when said by her mouth, Lu Zhaolin felt happy.

He said: "Okay, then I will stay with you as long as possible."

A smile broke out on Jiang Shiying's face, and stars seemed to be twinkling in her eyes: "Your Majesty is so kind!"

Several palace attendants standing in the room lowered their heads, and then lowered their heads.

Your Majesty and Your Majesty were obviously just talking and not doing anything special, yet they felt that they were extremely redundant.

At this time, Hongying was seen coming in from outside the door, bowed and said: "I pay my respects to your majesty and my empress."
