The exchange of eyes between the two was just a matter of an instant.

Jiang Ling pulled the hem of the little eunuch's clothes, lowered his voice, and said, "Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law. But father-in-law, it's too ostentatious right now. I'd better leave the empress dowager after I bid farewell to the empress dowager. You see This..." She glanced around, meaning that everyone is looking at you.

The little eunuch was taken aback, then knelt down beside Jiang Ling, and lowered his voice, "You're right."

Jiang Ling lowered his gaze.In doing so, she bought herself a moment.

So everyone present, including the little eunuch who sent the message, sent the empress dowager away respectfully.

After the empress dowager's chariot left, the concubines at the top got up one by one, followed by the surrounding princesses and concubines.Jiang Ling got up and looked at Mrs. Wang, and waited until Lin Daiyu got up, and said to herself in a bit of embarrassment: "Today the princess came to visit me in the palace, but I want to leave her here alone, it's a bit inappropriate."

Lin Daiyu was startled, looked at Jiang Ling, then at herself, her expression suddenly relaxed.

Mrs. Wang and the others also got up with Lin Daiyu, and when they heard Jiang Ling's words, they couldn't help but change their expressions.The little eunuch just now saw that Jiang Ling was in trouble, so he suggested: "Since Concubine Yun is worried, why not go back to the palace with the princess. Don't tell the queen mother to wait."

Lin Daiyu glanced at Jiang Ling, and was about to respond when she heard someone beside her say, "Wait..."

"That's it." Jiang Ling interrupted the man, stepped forward to take Lin Daiyu's hand, and said with a smile, "If there is a beginning but no end, it will be my fault." Then she lowered her voice and said to Lin Daiyu, "Say You are going to serve the concubine back home." Then she glanced around, just in time to see Xue Baochai taking half a step forward, wanting to speak to keep her, so she lightly pinched Lin Daiyu again.

Lin Daiyu blurted out: "No, that's not right, I still have to serve the concubine back home."

Xue Baochai paused.

Now the empress dowager has left, and the empress dowager said she was going to rest inside, but judging from the current situation, most of them have already left.The noble concubines and concubines in front, as well as the concubines and concubines around, asked people to prepare their chariots one after another, preparing to go back to the manor.

Lin Daiyu went to the palace to visit Jiang Ling, and with the presence of Princess Beijing, no matter from which point of view, it was not suitable for her to stay.

Jiang Ling beeped softly, and said with some annoyance: "I actually forgot..."

Lin Daiyu didn't know what she was going to do again, so she stood aside anxiously, waiting for Jiang Ling to act.

Jiang Ling coughed and said solemnly: "Damn it, I forgot such an important matter. With the presence of Princess Beijing, it is of course important to serve the princess back to the mansion. You should go back quickly, Mo Teach the concubine to wait a long time."

The little eunuch urged again: "Master Yun, hurry up, the queen mother has gone far."

Jiang Ling approached Lin Daiyu, lowered his voice and said, "I am determined to accompany the concubine back home." Then she blinked at Lin Daiyu.Lin Daiyu hadn't communicated yet, but she had always believed in Jiang Ling's acting skills, so she nodded slightly, signaling that she remembered it.

Jiang Ling smiled, then squeezed the handkerchief, and said to the little eunuch: "Let's go, don't make the Queen Mother wait for a long time."

Don't teach the Queen Mother to wait for seven words, she said it while looking into Lin Daiyu's eyes.

Lin Daiyu trembled slightly again, she had never been so fast in her life, Jiang Ling had just left two steps, and she imitated Jiang Ling's tone just now and said: "I'd better go back and serve the concubine. If the concubine waits for a long time ——" She bit her lower lip, looked at the concubine nervously, and said: "I, I'm a little scared, I, I should go back earlier."

Jiang Ling had just walked more than ten steps, and when she heard Lin Daiyu repeating her words, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled for a moment.

When he got to the side of the chariot, Jiang Ling glanced over there again.As expected, Lin Daiyu had already left. Mrs. Wang slapped the desk hard, but was stopped by Xue Baochai.Baoqin looked at this and then at that, not knowing how to persuade him, so he hurried to the front and invited Jia Yuanchun over again.It just so happened that Jia Yuanchun was about to leave, and there was a stalemate for a while.

Jiang Ling's eyesight is good, and he can see clearly. Mrs. Wang's expression is quite unhappy.

——Of course, she had a grudge with Mrs. Wang, and if Mrs. Wang was unhappy, Jiang Ling would naturally be happy.

Then look at Princess Beijing, and sure enough, she saw Lin Daiyu obediently following behind her, not leaving a single step.

Only then did Jiang Ling put down the curtain of the carriage with peace of mind, and waited for the carriage to take him back to the palace.

At about three quarters in the afternoon, Jiang Ling was helped out of the carriage by the nuns, and led by the little eunuch just now, all the way to the empress dowager's bedroom.Although he didn't know what the Queen Mother's intentions were, Jiang Ling still responded with all his strength.

On the way, Jiang Ling occasionally asked the little eunuch, only then did he know that the Empress Dowager had returned to the palace ahead of schedule.

After arriving in the Empress Dowager's palace, the little eunuch's tense expression finally became relaxed, and he led Jiang Ling in with a smile.The Empress Dowager had just returned to the palace not long ago, and she was reclining on the couch to rest, when she saw Jiang Ling coming in, she raised her hand loosely and said, "You all go down."

The two nuns glanced at Jiang Ling, saw Jiang Ling nodded slightly, and then followed the little eunuch and the maids down.

The queen mother looked at Jiang Ling quietly for a moment, then said: "Sit down."

Jiang Ling thanked her, and sat down in a safe place under the empress dowager.

The queen mother looked at Jiang Ling several times, her eyes were complicated and incomprehensible, and she hesitated to speak several times.Obviously, she asked Jiang Ling to come to her palace, and also rejected the others, which was something that she couldn't say to the public.But in the current situation, I don't know how to speak.

Jiang Ling lowered his gaze, and sat peacefully under the Queen Mother's head, not speaking or moving.

After a long time, the queen mother sighed heavily:

"You look so much like her."

Jiang Ling didn't know who that "she" was, so he could only listen quietly.

"Although your temperaments are completely opposite, your looks are not alike at all, your words and deeds are not even similar, your experience, family background, nothing is the same, but since a year ago, no, it was a year and six months Before, the emperor brought you to accompany him in Rehe, and it was already beginning to show up. I have never seen that the emperor would take a permanent escort in Rehe alone, and he was seriously injured. You probably I don’t know, before going to Rehe, rumors and rumors have been spread in the palace, saying that your birthday is in conflict with the fate of the country. If you want to stay in the harem, it will be a disaster for Baosi and Daji. But guess what the emperor said? Said? He said that his life was hard! After he came back from Rehe, he suppressed all those rumors, without any appearance of a wise king. Do you know what Aijia was thinking at that time?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Jiang Ling fixedly, and slowly said word by word:

"Aijia is thinking, although the emperor is not my own son, I have watched him grow up these years. No one knows the emperor's temperament better than Aijia except his biological mother and the empress dowager. This kind of behavior is clearly the same as that of the late emperor."

Jiang Ling stared at the Queen Mother in astonishment, unable to speak for a long time.

"At first, Ai's family thought it was a mistake, but the emperor took you on a southern tour alone, and then promoted you to concubine in a hurry, and lived alone as the lord of the first palace. Looking at it one by one, it is really too... It's so similar. But he is more subtle and more secure than his father. Your temperament is different from that of Dong E's. You have never made a big mistake after going back and forth. There is really too much love between you and her. Like."

Jiang Ling was stunned again, and it took him a long time to remember who Dong Eshi was.

"Aijia used to think that if the emperor was on a whim, he would let him go. But now, nearly two years have passed, and instead of slowing down, the emperor's actions have intensified. You—" the queen mother suddenly sat up straight, Looking at Jiang Ling, his eyes don't know whether it's sorrow or pity, "Aijia once promised the former Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager, that is, the emperor's biological mother. If one day, the emperor does the same thing as the first emperor, then he must be wiped out. In the cradle. The emperor must not be allowed to repeat the mistakes of the previous emperor. In this world, there can no longer be a second Dong E family."

Jiang Ling's eyes fell on the queen mother's hand, and seeing the queen mother clenched her fists tightly, she seemed quite emotional.

She said softly: "The queen mother must not..."

"Okay." The queen mother stopped her, "I know what you want to say. Originally, according to your temperament, family background, character and talent, you should be the queen's top choice. The last action also confirmed my But why did you--" The queen mother thumped the soft couch vigorously, and then said in a cold voice, "Not to mention that your horoscope is in conflict with the fate of the country, it's just that you make the emperor fall in love with you alone. , can let you have no room in this palace. Yunling, Aijia once thought that if the emperor's thoughts are less than three points for you, even if it is to support you as the empress, it is not a bad idea. But you ... Yunling, you can't stay."

At the end of the Queen Mother's speech, her gaze stopped on Jiang Ling's lower abdomen again, whether it was sadness or pity.

Jiang Ling pursed her lips slightly and lowered her gaze.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother actually confirmed his conjecture.

"But fortunately, there is one thing." The queen mother sighed heavily, and said, "The emperor knows better than the first emperor what should be done and what should not be done, so he will protect you firmly. It took a long time to confirm this matter, Yun Ling." The Empress Dowager's tone suddenly changed, a little harsh, "Xuan Ye is the emperor. The Tian family is ruthless, and the emperor is also ruthless."

Jiang Ling listened quietly for a long while, and only then asked: "So, the Empress Dowager wants me to leave?"

"The Ai family doesn't know." The queen mother shook her head slowly.

Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Since the Queen Mother doesn't know..."

"My son sees my mother."

A familiar and slightly hoarse voice sounded from outside the palace, and then a long shadow came in from outside the palace, walked up to the Empress Dowager step by step, bent down to salute, then raised his head, and fixedly looked at the Empress Dowager.

The queen mother sighed heavily and said, "You came here by yourself."

Kangxi walked up to Jiang Ling, pressed her shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, let out a breath slowly, leaned on the soft pillow behind her, and said word by word: "Of course you know what your mother said, 'Don't repeat the mistakes of the late emperor'. How did you agree to her? The one in front of you..." The Empress Dowager pointed to Jiang Ling, and then sighed again, "You shouldn't stay in the palace. Send her away."

Kangxi looked down at Jiang Ling, and Jiang Ling also looked up at him with curiosity.

——She also wanted to know how Kangxi would treat herself.

Kangxi stretched out his arms to protect her waist and abdomen, and said to the Empress Dowager: "The empress mother is serious. At the beginning, the son-in-law said to the mother, 'I will not be'. It was the same at the beginning, and it is the same today. Concubine Yun stayed with me. There should be nothing wrong with her around her. I hope the queen mother will think twice."

Immediately afterwards, with a strong arm, he hugged Jiang Ling horizontally and walked towards the outside of the palace.

"I will not repeat the mistakes of the emperor."

His voice was still a little hoarse, as if he had just walked in a hurry, and thin beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.Jiang Ling glanced outside the palace, it was really empty, there were no serving eunuchs and maids, no ceremonial guards and carriages, nothing.As the queen mother said, Kangxi came here just after he came down from court.

Did he come to rescue her?

Leaning in his arms, Jiang Ling suddenly wanted to cry, but also wanted to laugh.

"You don't need to pay attention to these things in the future." Kangxi lowered his head, his voice was still steady and a little hoarse, "I just informed the Tai Hospital that you have moved your fetus and need to stay in bed for three months. Wait. Three months later, I will 'inflate my fetus again', Ling'er." He called her in a low voice, "Promise me, treat yourself well."

Jiang Ling nodded solemnly.

"Ah."
