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

After him, Liu Zhonglin, the Minister of Rites, also came out and said: "I second the proposal."

He is the queen's uncle.

It didn't matter to him whether she was Concubine Chen or not. He was happy to see the concubine's family anxious.

But if it involves the imperial concubine, it will affect the queen's rights and interests.

After all, the imperial concubine is not an ordinary concubine, and the words "same position as deputy empress" are not a joke.

Whenever the queen is appointed as an imperial concubine while the queen is still alive, it means that the queen's status is in jeopardy.

After the two of them, several ministers came forward and agreed to add the position of Concubine Chen, and named Jiang Shiying as Concubine Chen.

Lu Zhaolin sneered in his heart, but was reluctant on his face: "Since all the ministers have said so, I have no choice but to promote Concubine Chun to Concubine Chen."

What else can you say? I can only shout long live the mountains and say that Your Majesty is wise.

He didn't want to talk about these troubles in the past in front of Jiang Shiying.

She had full trust in him, and he would naturally block these wind and frost swords and not let her be disturbed by them.

···

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiangying Curie.

Jiang Shiying was half lying on the bed, and was about to have someone bring the eighth prince over, when she saw Hongying pushing open the door and entering.

"I've met my empress." Hongying walked to the bedside, knelt down and saluted.

"But something happened?" Jiang Shiying asked.

Hongying nodded: "Half an hour ago, the Queen went to the Mingguang Palace in plain clothes."

"Wearing plain clothes?" Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows: "The Queen is here to plead guilty."

Hongying guessed: "Could it be Du Wenpo's fault?"

Jiang Shiying pondered for a moment and shook her head: "You forgot that there is still something about the assassin."

The Queen is responsible for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet from top to bottom. There was an assassin at the palace banquet. No matter how you looked at it, it was an oversight caused by the queen's carelessness.

She went to Mingguang Hall today to apologize, most likely because of this omission.

At this time, in the Mingguang Palace.

The queen lowered her head slightly and knelt in the palace.

She has been kneeling for a quarter of an hour, and the palace has been quiet for a quarter of an hour.

Finally, Lu Zhaolin, who was sitting at the top, spoke: "The people on the first batch of dismissal lists can still appear at the palace banquet and be responsible for serving food to me. Queen, is this what you do?"

The queen felt bitter.

Regarding the palace banquet, she took care of everything and arranged everything carefully.

In particular, the palace maid who was originally responsible for serving Lu Zhaolin was carefully selected according to Lu Zhaolin's taste.

But just before the banquet, the maid she carefully selected suddenly suffered from diarrhea, so the one she lived with took over her errand.

When this happened, the queen was already sitting in Yingtai Hall.

Perhaps she felt that this matter was not important, as the palace servant in charge did not report to her.

Unexpectedly, just such a lucky break would go terribly wrong.

The maid on duty turned out to be someone left behind by King Xantuan, and she boldly assassinated the emperor at the palace banquet.

Now, both the person in charge and the palace maid who was assigned a job are all staying in the prison of the Shenxing Department, and they have already received several rounds of punishment. When he came out of the Criminal Punishment Department, he might have been wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave.

No matter how bitter she felt, the queen still showed a sincere repentance on her face: "It was my concubine who acted unfavorably and allowed others to take advantage of her."

"You are indeed in trouble." Lu Zhaolin's voice was extremely cold.

The Queen felt suffocated and said, "Your Majesty, please convict me."

Lu Zhaolin's eyes narrowed slightly: "This time, I will only fine you one year's salary. If there are similar mistakes again, Feng Yin will not have to stay in Fengyi Palace."

The queen kowtowed and said, "I obey your decree."

"Get up." Lu Zhaolin said: "It is best to complete the dismissal of the palace staff as soon as possible."

"Yes."

···

Another day passed, and it was supposed to be the Eighth Prince Xi San.

Because the eighth prince was born prematurely and was weak, these three bathing banquets were skipped.

But the royal family members, as well as the concubines in the harem, all came with baptismal gifts.

Jiang Shiying took the gift list and looked at it. After turning two pages, she heard her chuckle: "I'm afraid Xiao Shi has emptied half of his private treasury."

The reason why I say this is because on this gift list, each person only needs a few lines to write down the things given by others. But it was only the gift from Prince Jing, which I wrote down for three pages.

Ah Yuan also read the gift list and smiled when he heard this: "This is Prince Jing getting close to you."

Jiang Shiying hid her lips and said, "By the time of the full moon banquet, I'm afraid the other half of his private treasury will have to be emptied."

Just as he said this, the door was pushed open and Lu Zhaolin walked in.

As he walked towards the bed, he said, "I heard your laughter before I even entered the door. What are you talking about?"

Jiang Shiying handed the gift list into his hand and said, "Your Majesty will know after just one look."

Lu Zhaolin raised his eyebrows, took the gift sheet, looked at it, and smiled: "No wonder Xiao Shi came to me this afternoon to complain about his poverty. It turns out that he used his own money to subsidize your place."

Jiang Shiying gave him an angry look: "Why are you subsidizing me? Are you subsidizing your own son?"

Lu Zhaolin was not annoyed. He laughed twice and listened to him: "Xiao Shi also said that when our Xiao Ba grows up, he will take Xiao Ba out of the palace to go hunting on horseback."

After saying this, Jiang Shiying couldn't hold it back and laughed.

Lu Zhaolin was a little surprised for a moment: "What did I say? Why did I make you laugh?"

Jiang Shiying said: "You know, Your Majesty is talking about uncles and nephews. For those who don't know, I thought Xiao Ba was the elder brother and Xiao Shi was the younger brother. When Xiao Shi played with Xiao Ba, it sounded like he was the younger brother. It’s like playing with my brother.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhaolin was also happy: "What you are saying is that it is easy for people to misunderstand the name of Xiaoba and Xiaoten. However, I haven't thought of Xiaoba's name yet. I have chosen it again and again, but it doesn't matter. satisfy."

"There's no need to rush, Your Majesty can just choose slowly." Jiang Shiying said, "Ah Ying is thinking about giving him a nickname first."

"Oh?" Lu Zhaolin said, "What do you have in mind?"

"Ah Ying thought, the word 'peace' is very good." As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zhaolin.

Her eyes were as clear as water, and the expression on her face was gentle and loving.

Peace is a mother's simplest wish for her children.

Lu Zhaolin held her hand, feeling a little guilty suddenly in his heart. If it weren't for him, this child would not have been born prematurely and would not be so frail.

These days, Ah Ying looks as optimistic and cheerful as ever. In fact, deep down in her heart, she is worried about her child's health every day, right?

He sighed and said: "Okay, let's call it 'Ping An'. Our child will always be safe."

Jiang Shiying leaned on his shoulder, her lips slowly curved.

From then on, whenever the nickname "Ping An" was called, he would remember that it was because of him that this child was born weak. This is his debt to his child, and this debt will make him unconsciously prefer this child.

As a mother, she also owed peace.

Let their unqualified parents use the throne of the Jin Dynasty to make up for this shortfall.

Her peace requires not only peace and tranquility, but also long live long live long live.

···

A few days later, the newly appointed female official in Shangfu asked to see him.

The previous one was put on the dismissal list because of Shuncai's incident, and is no longer in the palace.

The new one is the original Sixth Grade Si Yi.

"Female official?" Jiang Shiying asked, "Did she tell you why she came here?"

A Yuan said: "These are your court clothes and auspicious clothes. The Shangfu Bureau has published a design manuscript. I would like you to take a look."

Jiang Shiying said: "Let her come in."
