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

Jiang Shiying shook her head sadly: "I vaguely remember that when I was young, the wet nurse who always bullied me seemed to have mentioned Aunt Yun or something. I wonder if she was talking about my biological mother."

Having said this, she looked at Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui's heart tightened, but she denied it: "My sister must have remembered it wrong. There was no aunt named Yun in the house."

Jiang Shiying ignored her and looked at the Queen Mother, with pleading in her eyes: "Empress Dowager, I know that I shouldn't mention things related to my biological mother. However, in the end, it gave Ah Ying life. Bringing Ah Ying here How can Ah Ying, a person who comes to this world, not even know her last name?"

"Good boy, this is your filial piety. There is nothing that shouldn't be mentioned." The Queen Mother said warmly.

Jiang Shiying frowned: "However, whenever Ah Ying mentions this matter, some people will say that Ah Ying is as ungrateful as her biological mother. My wife is so good to Ah Ying, but Ah Ying still misses her biological mother. Queen Mother, did you do something wrong?"

The Queen Mother's usually calm and peaceful eyes became dark. She looked at Concubine Hui and asked: "Concubine Hui, what do you think?"

Concubine Hui seemed to have heard of this kind of thing for the first time: "Who is saying these stupid things in my sister's ears? My sister has always been considerate and filial in front of her mother. It is only natural for people to want to know about her biological mother."

With that said, she walked up to Jiang Shiying, held her hand, and said, "Don't worry, sister, my mother will not misunderstand your filial piety, and my sister also knows that you are a good and filial child."

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that what Jiang Shiying said was just her own wild imagination.

Jiang Shiying looked puzzled: "Didn't the people around my mother and the people around my sister all say this? My sister is only twenty years old this year, how can she be so forgetful?"

Jiang Shiying's words seemed to tear off Concubine Hui's gentle and generous face.

Concubine Hui twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "My sister is really good at joking."

However, continuing to dwell on this matter would only be more detrimental to her. Therefore, Concubine Hui said directly: "Your biological mother's name is Ning Cui. I really don't know much about her family's situation."

Jiang Shiying nodded and said, "Thank you sister for informing me."

Then, he turned to the Queen Mother and saluted: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for taking the decision for A Ying."

Concubine Hui sat in the hall for another moment and then left. When she sat down again, she didn't know what Jiang Shiying was going to say.

As soon as Concubine Hui left, Jiang Shiying knelt on the ground and bowed to her mother, the Empress Dowager.

"What are you doing?" The Queen Mother's voice was calm, but she didn't ask anyone to help her up.

"My daughter is guilty. I just took advantage of the Queen Mother's compassion." Jiang Shiying admitted her mistake straightforwardly.

When the Queen Mother first asked her why she practiced martial arts, Jiang Shiying didn't deliberately want to say anything more. She just wanted to leave a general impression in the Queen Mother's mind - the back house of the Jiang Mansion was not peaceful.

However, after Concubine Hui appeared, the hatred in her heart was really difficult to suppress.

The more gentle, magnanimous and like a good sister Concubine Hui appears, the more she can't help but want to tear off her hypocritical mask.

There seemed to be a voice in my heart that kept shouting: "Expose her! Expose her lies! Let everyone see clearly what kind of person she is!"

It had been more than a month since she was reborn, and she thought she was ready. Today I suddenly saw Concubine Hui, but I was still impulsive.

Now, as her rationality gradually returned, she suddenly realized that this was in the Shoukang Palace, in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother clearly saw the showdown between her and Concubine Hui just now.

Her singing, chanting, and beating, as well as the clever hints in her words, were clearly visible to the Queen Mother.

Not to mention the Queen Mother, even Prince Jing might have seen it clearly, otherwise how could every interruption be just right.

However, probably for the sake of Prince Jing, the Queen Mother still stood on her side, which forced Concubine Hui to retreat step by step.

Jiang Shiying felt somewhat regretful, she should have taken her time to figure it out. After what happened today, the Queen Mother's favorable impression of her may not be as good as before.

The Queen Mother sighed, both Jiang Shiying and Concubine Hui were too young in front of her.

Of course she could see that Concubine Hui was not a simple person, and Jiang Shiying was also digging a trap for Concubine Hui both inside and outside her words.

The Queen Mother was actually a little tired of these fights, but she didn't expect that the child would kneel on the ground and confess like this.

This child is really smart and kind. You can see her intelligence and kindness from her saving Xiao Shi. Today's incident with Concubine Hui shows her innocence and uprightness. Even if he has a little bit of care, he sells himself out very quickly. There is no way he can be plotted. He is so frank and endearing.

Looking at the girl kneeling on the ground, and thinking of the hardships revealed in those words, the Queen Mother inevitably felt a little more pity. She asked: "Since you know your mistake, do you regret it?"

Jiang Shiying nodded, then shook her head: "I regret taking advantage of the Queen Mother's compassion, but I don't regret being tit-for-tat with Concubine Hui."

"Then the Aijia will punish you, will you be convinced?"

"My daughter is convinced."

"Then the Aijia will punish you. You will serve the Aijia during dinner today."

Jiang Shiying couldn't help but her eyes turned red: "Your Majesty, I have received the order."

On the other side, in Yonghe Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Second Young Lady seems to have changed a lot." Bai Lu has been following Concubine Hui today, so she naturally knows what happened in Shoukang Palace.

"Isn't that true?" Concubine Hui said in a low tone, "More importantly, in the heart of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that my mother will feel that my mother is so narrow-minded that she cannot even tolerate a little concubine and allows her servants to bully her."

Bai Lu was worried: "You have been complimenting Madam today, and you are afraid that the Queen Mother will see you in the same way."

Concubine Hui shook her head: "I am my mother's biological daughter. I should speak for her. This is the filial piety of a woman."

But what happened today will still have a bad impact on her.

In particular, the more pitiful Jiang Shiying is in the eyes of the Queen Mother, the more hateful her sister-in-law will appear.

She had to think of a way to prevent the Queen Mother from completely siding with Jiang Shiying. Or, the Queen Mother must see her and Jiang Shiying as being on the same side.

Concubine Hui made up her mind and began to go to Shoukang Palace every day to pay her respects. She did it in the name of missing her sister and accompanying the Queen Mother, which was quite logical.

The two sisters now know each other very well what kind of drama the other is playing.

Concubine Hui will play a good sister who loves her younger sister.

Jiang Shiying will play an innocent and good sister who is full of trust in her sister.

It doesn't matter whether the other party believes it or not. Anyway, the real audience is the other people in the palace.

In the afternoon of this day, several people were drinking tea and chatting in the side hall.

Concubine Hui looked at Jiang Shiying sitting next to the Queen Mother, and the sunlight shone through the window paper on her side face. Her face, which was already unearthly, looked like a fairy concubine.

Concubine Hui thought to herself that Jiang Shiying must not be allowed to enter the palace, otherwise she would become a serious trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, her eyes wandered and she said, "I haven't seen my sister for five years. She has really grown into a big girl."

Jiang Shiying didn't know what she was planning, so she just smiled at her.

I heard Concubine Hui say: "I still remember that when I was at home, my uncle's second cousin always liked to follow my sister. Now that I think about it, he can be considered a childhood sweetheart."

"Don't mention it, sister. What kind of childhood sweetheart is he worthy of?" Jiang Shiying sneered, with a hint of disdain in her tone: "Empress Dowager, you don't know. My eldest sister's cousin is really Wen He can be regarded as a model of a playboy. In terms of essays, I have never heard of him writing any articles or poems worth spreading, and the imperial examination seems to have made no progress. As for martial arts, I could beat him three times by myself a few years ago. indivual."

Once Jiang Shiying said this, who could believe that she would have an affair with this so-called cousin of Concubine Hui?

The Queen Mother originally didn't believe Concubine Hui's words, but now she was even more amused by her. She nodded her forehead and said, "You are a narrow-minded ghost, you are so good at talking bad things about people."

Jiang Shiying wrinkled her nose and said, "No way. Ah Ying is obviously straight-talking and she tells the truth."

Since that day when she asked for forgiveness, she and the Queen Mother had become closer and closer instead of alienated.

The Queen Mother looked at her and suddenly remembered something, and asked Qingshan who was waiting at the side: "The Ai family remembers that the draft will start next month, right?"

Qingshan nodded: "Yes, the Ministry of Rites has submitted the list of candidates for the show to the palace a few days ago."

"Are you going to run for election this time?" the Queen Mother asked.

The reason why I ask this is because the big promotion draft is not mandatory.

After the Tianjia issued the order for the draft, those who wanted to send women to participate in the draft could just report their names to the Ministry of Etiquette.

"I want to stand for election."

"What kind of man does Ah Ying like? The Ai family will choose a good one for Ah Ying." The Queen Mother asked.

The big promotion draft is not just to fill the emperor's harem. Many times, beautiful girls with outstanding family backgrounds, looks, talents, etc. will be selected to marry the children of the clan or the children of the right age from some important ministers' families.

The Queen Mother liked Jiang Shiying very much, but it was precisely because of this love that she did not want her to be restrained in this palace.
