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

Jiang Shiying casually put on some clothes, hurriedly opened the window, and then turned back in surprise: "Your Majesty, it's snowing."

Lu Zhaolin strode forward, closed the window, and said, "Your hair is still wet and you are wearing so little, but you still dare to open the window, are you afraid that you won't catch a cold?"

Jiang Shiying tugged on his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Ah Ying forgot about it for a moment."

Lu Zhaolin flicked her forehead, and when he saw her breathing heavily and covering her forehead, looking at him with aggrieved and flattering eyes, he smiled and pulled her to sit beside the bed, and dried her hair himself.

When we woke up the next morning, it was still snowing.

When Ah Yuan opened the tent, he said, "The Queen has sent word that it's snowing heavily outside, so please excuse me today."

Jiang Shiying had already sat up. After hearing this, she lay back on the bed and shrank into the quilt: "Then I'll sleep a little longer."

Lu Zhaolin pinched her face: "You can still sleep, but I have to brave the wind and snow to go to court."

Jiang Shiying smiled, rubbed her face into his hand, and said, "Who makes His Majesty a wise king?"

Lu Zhaolin pinched her again before getting up to change clothes.

Jiang Shiying was lying on the quilt, watching the palace people serving him to get dressed. Suddenly he thought of something and asked: "It's snowing today, does your Majesty still want to go to the eldest princess's residence?"

Lu Zhaolin pondered for a moment and said: "Let's take a look. If the wind and snow subside in the afternoon, we still have to go. If not, I will come to your place for dinner."

The eldest princess of Guangde is his aunt, the late emperor's biological aunt, and now the oldest elder in the clan.

The eldest princess was indispensable for his father's success in ascending to the throne. Over the years, their family has become well-informed.

Today is the eightieth birthday of this person. Due to emotions and reasons, he should go to the birthday banquet to show his face and give her this dignity.

It was only after noon when the snow stopped.

At the end of the Shen Dynasty, Yao Xingde came to Jingyang Palace to send a message, saying that His Majesty was going to a banquet at the princess's residence and would not come over in the evening.

Hearing this, Jiang Shiying nodded and said, "Eunuch Yao, please give me more advice and don't let your majesty drink too much."

Yao Xingde saluted and said, "Save it for me, but don't worry, my queen."

This night, Jiang Shiying rarely slept alone.

No one put their head on her neck, and no one put their heavy arms on her body, which made her sleep well.

When Jiang Shiying got up the next morning, he heard that there was a beauty in the palace and she was given a residence in Yonghe Palace.

While Qiu Yu was waiting for her to wash herself, she whispered: "She is the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Guangde, her name is Si Jintan. I heard that at the birthday banquet in the princess's mansion yesterday, she played a song in front of everyone. Playing the guqin, at that time, the white snow on the branches in front of the hall fell one after another amidst the sound of the guqin.

When His Majesty returned to the palace, he took Miss Si directly back to Ganquan Palace. Early this morning, the decree to designate her as a beauty came out. "

As she spoke, she took a silk golden goose from Huanghuali's jewelry box, shook it with beads in it, and was about to insert it into Jiang Shiying's bun.

"No need for this." Jiang Shiying said: "A few days ago, didn't the Craftsman's Department send some white pom-pom style ones? Just wear that one, it suits the occasion very well."

"That one has to be inserted in clusters on the head to look good." As she spoke, Qiu Yu took out the small box containing the pom-poms.

Jiang Shiying said: "Then wear them one by one."

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Shiying arrived at the front hall of Fengyi Palace.

Concubine Fang smiled after seeing the gift: "Your Majesty, the way you are dressed today, she looks like a little girl. She doesn't look like someone who has a child."

Before Jiang Shiying could speak, Concubine Ning heard her say: "Concubine Chen is just a little girl. If I remember correctly, Concubine Chen is not yet seventeen, right?"

Jiang Shiying smiled and nodded.

The imperial concubine entered the palace at this moment. After hearing these words, she interrupted and said, "Compared to the newly appointed beauty, Concubine Chen is still a few months younger."

Concubine Fang asked: "Which one is seventeen now?"

The imperial concubine nodded.

Many people in the hall silently said in their hearts: "No wonder."

No wonder she can't wait for the next draft.

The next draft will be two years away at least. By then, she was nineteen, already exceeding the upper limit of the age limit for show girls.

Li Bin asked: "During the general election last year, did the imperial concubine ever see this beauty?"

The imperial concubine shook her head: "She reported illness last year."

Not long after, the queen led people into the palace from behind.

After everyone bowed and took their seats, they heard the queen say: "Go and bring the beauty in."

At a young age, Beauty Yi walked into the palace under the guidance of the palace servants, knelt down three times, bowed three times and kowtowed three times, and said: "I pay my respects to the Queen."

As soon as he saw her, Jiang Shiying knew why she got the title "Yi".

Her skin is fair and tender, her black hair is like a waterfall, her eyes are big and clear, and her movements are graceful, which complements the word "yi" perfectly.

The queen said: "No courtesy."

The beauty stood up and said thanks, "Thank you very much, cousin."

"Cousin?" Several concubines in the palace said in surprise.

Jiang Shiying also raised her eyebrows slightly.

Without waiting for the queen or Yi Meiren to answer their questions, the imperial concubine said, "I remember that Yi Meiren's mother was born in the Song family and is the queen's direct aunt?"

The beauty smiled and nodded: "What the imperial concubine said is true."

With such a relationship, it stands to reason that the Queen and Yi Meiren should be very close.

The queen's attitude was lukewarm and she did not want to talk more about this topic. She glanced at the painting screen, and the painting screen wisely said: "Beauty Yi, it's time for you to pay tribute to the high-ranking concubines in the palace."

"Thank you, Miss Huaping, for the tip."

As she spoke, Yi Meiren walked up to Jiang Shiying, knelt down and saluted: "I have seen Concubine Chen."

Jiang Shiying thought to herself, they are indeed cousins, their methods of provoking people are exactly the same.

She raised her eyes, just in time to look at each other. After the two of them looked at each other and smiled, they then looked at Yi Meiren: "Get up, Yi Meiren."

Beauty Yi stood up and said: "Thank you, Concubine Chen."

Then, he walked up to the imperial concubine and said, "I have seen the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine glanced at her, but did not scream. Instead, she spoke to Jiang Shiying from a distance: "The set of steps that Concubine Chen is wearing today is very beautiful. It is rare and very suitable for the occasion."

Jiang Shiying said: "It was from the Craftsmanship Department a few days ago."

The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows: "I also said that although the craftsmanship at the Craftsmanship Department is good, there is nothing new in style. It is unimaginable that they can still have such ingenuity."

The two of them chatted for nearly a cup of tea in response to the snow.

Then, the imperial concubine seemed to have suddenly come to her senses, and said angrily: "Ever since I became pregnant with this child, my memory has been a bit bad. What happened one moment, I forgot the next moment."

At this point, she glared at Xianyun: "You too, why didn't you remind me that Yi Mei is still here to salute."

Xianyun said: "It's my slave's fault."

The imperial concubine took another sip of the soup in the tea cup and touched her lips with a handkerchief. However, she did not cry out, but looked at the queen and said: "I made the queen's cousin squat for such a long time, the queen. You won’t blame me, right?”

The queen said: "What did the noble concubine say?"

The imperial concubine laughed again, and then said slowly: "Get up, beautiful lady."
