"Is this true?"

Jiang Ling was leaning on the beauty's couch, flipping through a booklet in his hand, and asked the nurse in front of him.The nanny was holding the little elder brother and standing beside her, and was about to wait for Jiang Ling to read the accounts before handing the little elder brother into her arms.However, Jiang Ling didn't care about it for the time being.

The nurse in front of her said with a serious look: "Master, I have just asked someone to ask, the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion has indeed not left the mansion for more than ten days, and has not sent anyone to the house to ask questions, and has not sent any news to enter the palace. Yes. The servant figured it out, maybe it wasn't the second wife who made herself sick when she heard about the change in her natal family."

Jiang Ling sneered, and said: "If she really gets mad at herself, it will save me a lot of trouble."

Mammy didn't answer.

After a while, Jiang Ling finished flipping through the booklet, threw it into the fire, and watched it burn to ashes.

"In two days' time, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. There will definitely be a banquet in the palace." Jiang Ling said lightly, "At that time, you will know what the second wife is thinking. Even if it is a Baishen, as long as he has connections, he can sit in the palace and complain about his grievances in the name of visiting the imperial concubine. If he doesn't even have the thought of complaining—" then the sun will come out from the west.

The nanny said yes, and asked tentatively: "Then we are now..."

"Wait." Jiang Ling said, "Wait for the results from the Rongguo Mansion to see whether they split up the family, demolish the mansion, or keep the status quo until things get worse again. I have already done what I have done. The only thing to do now is to wait."

Waiting for a big commotion on Jia Lian's side, the first room and the second room will be torn apart, and the second room will be torn apart by itself, and the second wife will not be able to hide.

Jiang Ling leaned back a little, stretched out her arms towards the nanny, and hugged the little elder brother in her arms.The little elder brother has already fallen asleep, and is obedient in her arms, his little face flushed from sleep.Jiang Ling unknowingly softened her voice, and continued: "If that second wife is really mad at herself, then let her go. But if..." She concealed the last few words, His eyes became a little cold again.

Mammy responded, bowed and stepped back.

Jiang Ling looked down at the child in his arms, and his voice became softer: "I hope this child can grow up safely."

The nanny next to him smiled and said, "Little elder brother is a lucky one. He will grow up in peace."

Jiang Ling smiled again, hugged the little elder brother for a while, then handed him over to the nanny, went to the front, called the aunt in charge, and summarized the affairs of the palace during this period.Since getting the Phoenix Seal, all the affairs in the palace have been transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to Jiang Ling, dealing with maids who are lazy and slippery, eunuchs breaking vases and so on. Things are quite trivial.

After staying so quietly for two days, in a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

Traditionally, there is also a banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The little elder brother's full moon wine was just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the empress dowager agreed with Kangxi to combine the two palace banquets. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Ling carried the healthy little elder brother to the In front of the courtiers, it was a win, and then, when the banquet was halfway through, Jiang Ling carried the little elder brother back to the harem, and finished the second half of the palace banquet with the queen mother and others.

The list of palace banquets was also handled by Jiang Ling, and all the guests on it were carefully screened by Jiang Ling.

Since the Wang family has just fallen, the palace banquet this time has nothing to do with the Wang family, and there are no wives and wives of the Wang family on the list.Coupled with the fact that the Xue family had accidents for two consecutive years, the name of the Xue family was also erased from this year's palace banquet.The two Mrs. Hou of the historian family are impressively listed, and there is the Jia family, except for one Xue Baochai, there is no second wife or young mistress on the list.

After Jiang Ling asked, he found out that the Ningguo Mansion had just cut off the official positions of two of its children a few days ago, and now it is in a state of depression.

Originally, Rongguo Mansion was better, but because of the death of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang became white, Li Wan was a widow, and Wang Xifeng was with Mrs. Wang.There is nothing wrong with Mrs. Xing, but when Mrs. Xing entered the palace last time, Jia She was the head of the Rongguo Mansion; now the Rongguo Mansion is run by Jia Baoyu, so Mrs. Xing was also left alone and invited a Xue Baochai.

Jiang Ling read the three characters Xue Baochai over and over several times, and once again fell into deep thought.

Xue Baochai is not simple, she knows it.

But she didn't know what Xue Baochai was thinking now.

Jiang Ling slowly closed the booklet, called a nanny into the room, and said: "Try to ask, is there any movement in the imperial concubine's palace on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival? For example, is there anyone who will catch up with you?" Before the palace banquet, pay a visit to the imperial concubine?"

The nanny took the order to go, and came back shortly after to report: "Master Mingjian. The imperial concubine's palace did receive a post saying that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion will enter the palace early in the morning. I pay my respects to the imperial concubine. But because the second wife is not among those invited to the palace banquet, no one cares." Then he handed over the time when Mrs. Wang entered the palace.

Jiang Ling caressed for a moment, his eyes gradually became a little cold.

After tidying up the booklets, Jiang Ling asked several aunts in charge to come forward and ask them about their routines in previous years.This was Jiang Ling's first time arranging a palace banquet, if something went wrong, it would be his fault.After that, I worked for several days in a row before I could arrange things properly.

Jiang Ling can only guarantee that nothing will go wrong at the banquet; after the banquet is over, it will be none of her business.

Time soon came to the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.Jiang Ling was woken up early in the morning by the female officials, freshened up, put on makeup, and equipped with a full set of court clothes, court crowns and court beads. When the time came, she carried her little elder brother to the banquet place of the former court.The nannies fed the little brother enough early in the morning, and then put the little brother to sleep, so that he would look more energetic at night.

After washing and grooming, Jiang Ling called the aunts in charge over again, asked about the process carefully, and only gave up after confirming that it was correct.

At noon, Manager Liang hurried over to check the process of the previous court with Jiang Ling.However, Manager Liang said that this check is just a routine matter, and Long Live Lord believes that the empress will not go wrong.Nothing went wrong the previous few times.

Jiang Ling was a little confused: "How many times before?"

Manager Liang pointed out something: "A year ago."

So Jiang Ling fell silent.

When the time came, Jiang Ling personally hugged the little elder brother, got on the shoulder bike, and walked forward in a mighty manner.Now she is used to facial paralysis, at least in front of the four female officers sent by the queen mother, she is completely dignified and dignified.The little elder brother dozed off in her arms, occasionally opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and then continued to nest in his swaddling baby and fell asleep.

Jiang Ling lowered his head, smiled softly, and pressed his fingertips in his swaddle to adjust the temperature to a suitable degree.

When he got to the front, Jiang Ling was led by a young eunuch, walked up the long white marble steps, and after a long sound of "Xuanhuang noble concubine sees—", holding the little elder brother's swaddle, he walked step by step go inside.

Jiang Ling was somewhat familiar with such a scene.

Kangxi was still wearing a dragon robe, sitting high on it, unable to see his face clearly.On his left sat the Empress Dowager, while the right was empty, presumably it was reserved for Jiang Ling.Seeing those two positions, Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, but had no time to think about it, followed the little eunuch to the front, saluted and said: "The concubine respectfully welcomes the emperor Sheng'an, and the empress dowager Jin'an."

Kangxi's voice was still faint, and he said, "Excuse me."

Jiang Ling thanked the emperor, then stood up holding the little elder brother, was led by the female officer to the only vacant seat above, and sat down slowly.

The courtiers below also kowtowed together, calling the imperial concubine Wan'an.At that moment, Jiang Ling suddenly understood where the strange feeling in his heart came from.She turned her head to look at Kangxi, with surprise in her eyes.This is the Queen's...

Kangxi's expression was still indifferent, and his eyes were calmly looking forward, without any strange expression.

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager on the other side looked at Jiang Ling with some deep meaning in her eyes.

Jiang Ling withdrew his gaze, fell on the child in his arms, and remained silent.

After the people below saluted, Jiang Ling said gently, "Excuse me."

The courtiers got up one after another, and most of them glanced at the little elder brother in Jiang Ling's arms.Jiang Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he searched among the courtiers below, most of them were veterans over the age of 40, and even if they had any thoughts, they concealed them well.However, Jiang Ling still recognized some of the bachelors under the reminder of Manager Liang just now.

But I don't know what this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet really means.

Jiang Ling asked someone to spread things in front of him silently, and handed the little elder brother to Aunt Su Ma, and used some in a dull manner.

When the palace banquet was halfway through, Kangxi nodded to Jiang Ling and said, "Go."

Jiang Ling said yes, took the little elder brother from the arms of Aunt Su Ma, confessed to Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, and also accused the courtiers below, and left with the little elder brother up.The courtiers all knew that there was a palace banquet in the harem, so they were not surprised.

Jiang Ling sat on the shoulders with the child in his arms, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became.

When she walked halfway, she suddenly asked someone to stop, and called an aunt in charge to come up to her, and asked: "The ladies and wives at the palace banquet, are they all here? Has anything happened in other palaces?" Is there any condition?"

Jiang Ling is the imperial concubine in charge, so asking the aunt in charge is considered routine.

The aunt in charge said: "Return to the imperial concubine, almost all the wives and wives at the palace banquet are here, and they are all waiting to meet the imperial concubine and the little elder brother, and then say some auspicious words. But today is a family banquet, so it is inevitable that some Bumps and bumps are harmless."

Jiang Ling frowned and told them to retreat.

family dinner...

Jiang Ling rubbed between his brows, and let out another deep breath.

In the deep palace, it is not as lively as before.When Jiang Ling came to the banquet, the banquet was already halfway through.Jiang Ling still carried the little brother to the Empress Dowager in accordance with the usual practice, and let the Queen Mother and all the concubines and concubines look at them one by one, and several princes and elder brothers also came to have a look.Sure enough, as the aunt in charge said, the palace banquet inside was more relaxed than outside, and even the atmosphere was a little more lively than before.

Jiang Ling was led to the Empress Dowager's lower head by the female officer, and after eating some pastries, he felt a dull pain in his brain.

The situation here is much more complicated and difficult to handle than before.

Just as I was about to call a maid to come over and ask, suddenly a nanny came in hurriedly, whispered to Jiang Ling's ear, "Sure enough, as the master expected, the second wife entered the palace early in the morning. She stayed there for half a day, but she hasn't left yet. Master, do you want to keep sending people to watch her?"
