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

When the moon was at its peak, Grandma Ji finally finished writing the last word and breathed a sigh of relief.

She placed the brush on the pen holder, rubbed her sore wrist, and then straightened the fingers of her right hand. After repeated bending and stretching several times, she felt that the stiff fingers were loosening a little.

The person staring at Nanny Ji in the study room has changed from Hongying to Hongshan.

Seeing this, Hong Shanpi said with a smile: "Mom, don't be lazy. If you delay the wedding ceremony, can you bear the blame?"

Mother Ji cursed in her heart, but with a flattering smile on her face, she put the written papers together and handed them to Hongshan, saying: "I'm not lazy. No, I've already finished writing this. Please ask the girl to present it to you. Concubine Chen."

Hongshan took the stack of papers, but instead of walking out, she read through the pages.

After she finished reading it, she sneered and said, "Mom, please rewrite it."

"What?" Nanny Ji asked in a loud voice: "Why do you need to rewrite it?"

Hongshan said: "The silkworm kissing ceremony started in the Qing Dynasty and has gone through more than ten dynasties and nearly a hundred emperors. But I only wrote the story of twelve queens and the silkworm kissing ceremony, which is too perfunctory. . Could it be that Mammy is dissatisfied with Concubine Chen in her heart?"

At the end of the sentence, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Nanny Ji with a very evil look.

Of course Nanny Ji was dissatisfied with Jiang Shiying.

It has been nearly four hours since she stepped into the study room of Jingyang Palace and picked up the brush. During these four hours, she had been watched closely. Except when it's convenient for Gong, he can't stop for almost a moment, it's like being in prison.

Nanny Ji has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she only suffered some hardships in her early years when she was a little palace maid. Later, when I entered Shangyi Bureau, I lived a good life. Today's experience was really too much for her.

But she never dared to express her dissatisfaction. No matter how stupid she is, she still knows that she has hit a brick wall today.

She said with a flattering face: "How dare I be dissatisfied with Concubine Chen? However, there have been no less than a hundred queens from the Qing Dynasty to the present. How can I finish writing it in just half a day?"

Hongshan smiled and said, "Then I have to rely on grandma to write hard and write hard day and night. Otherwise, if the wedding ceremony is delayed, I don't know if grandma can shoulder this responsibility."

Nanny Ji suppressed the suffocation in her chest and sat back at the desk.

In the bedroom, Hongying reported to Jiang Shiying in detail what happened in the study.

Jiang Shiying nodded, not paying much attention.

Qiu Yu said: "I don't know who is going to cause misfortune to my empress behind this nanny Ji."

Jiang Shiying said: "No matter who it is, Lady Shangyi will always find it for us."

Three days later, at the end of Shenshi, in Jingyang Palace.

The female official Shangyi said: "My Majesty has learned all the etiquette related to the silkworm kissing ceremony. From tomorrow on, I will not come again. If your Majesty has any questions, you can send someone to Shangyi Bureau to summon the ministers."

Jiang Shiying nodded and said, "Thank you so much, female officer."

"Your Majesty's words are serious." Ms. Shangyi saluted, and then asked: "I wonder if Aunt Ji has been doing her best when she has been working in Jingyang Palace these past few days?"

Jiang Shiying had a smile on her lips: "People who come from Shangyi Bureau are naturally dedicated."

The female officer Shang Yi said: "In this case, I will feel relieved, and Wei Dianzan, who wants to come to Shang Yi Bureau, should also feel relieved."

"Wei Dianzan?" Jiang Shiying said with confusion.

Female officer Shangyi said: "I originally arranged for another Nanny Lin to come to Jingyang Palace. It was Wei Dianzan who made the decision, so Nanny Ji came instead. If Nanny Ji does not perform well and makes a mistake, Wei Dianzan will definitely blame herself. .”

Jiang Shiying looked at her with a smile in her eyes and asked, "I wonder what kind of person this Wei Dianzan is?"

The female officer of Shangyi said: "Wei Dianzan has been in Shangyi Bureau for many years and has always been diligent and steady. I usually see that she has little contact with the palaces. In the past two days, I unexpectedly learned that she had an affair with Concubine Qian. The aunt in charge is old."

"Concubine Qian?" Jiang Shiying's last voice raised slightly.

Female officer Shangyi said: "Concubine Qian is the mother-in-law of Princess Huiming."

Jiang Shiying looked stunned and said, "Thank you, female officer, for reminding me."

The female officer Shangyi said: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. If your Majesty has no instructions, I will leave first."

Jiang Shiying said: "Qiu Yu is a gift for Miss Shangyi."

Qiu Yu responded crisply, sent Lady Shangyi out of the gate of Jingyang Palace, and handed over a thick purse.

Female officer Shangyi took the purse and felt truly relieved.

Waiting for the figure of the female official Shangyi to disappear on the palace road, Qiu Yu was about to turn around and walk towards Jingyang Palace when she suddenly heard a noise coming from the distance.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Shiying stood up in shock after listening to Qiu Yu's words: "What did you say?"

Qiu Yu repeated again: "Empress, Your Majesty has been assassinated!"

Jiang Shiying raised her feet and walked out: "Go to Ganquan Palace."

When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped.

Qiu Yu didn't know why, but he saw her turn back to the kang table, pick up a tea cup filled with tea, then let go of her hand, the tea cup fell straight to the ground, broken porcelain pieces splashed everywhere, and the tea wet Jiang Shi Ying's skirt.

Seeing this, Qiu Yu understood in her heart and said loudly: "My queen! Is my queen burned?"

Jiang Shiying said: "There is nothing wrong with me."

Qiu Yu said: "Your Majesty, please change some clothes."

Jiang Shiying said: "There's no rush. Let's go to Ganquan Palace first to see how His Majesty is doing."

On the way from Jingyang Palace to Ganquan Palace, Qiu Yu carefully explained the whole story of the assassination that she had learned about.

Today is the day when the emperor performs the plowing ceremony at Xiannong Altar.

According to the process, the emperor first drove the oxen and plowed the land three times with his hands on the plow.

Then, the princes and ministers went to work in the fields in order from high to low according to their rank.

After that, twenty elderly farmers selected in advance by the Agriculture Department came to the emperor to salute and answer questions after plowing the fields with farm tools.

Today's assassin somehow managed to sneak into the group of twenty farmers and elders. While answering the question in front of the emperor, he took out the weapons hidden on his body and assassinated the emperor.

Hearing this, Jiang Shiying frowned: "How did the Agriculture Department choose people? Is Your Majesty okay? Have all the assassins been caught?"

Qiu Yu said: "I don't know."

That's all she found out.

At this time, Ganquan Palace was already in sight.

Outside the palace gate of Ganquan Palace, several ceremonial guards were parked against the palace wall. From the perspective of regulations, they belong to the Queen Mother, the Queen, and the Imperial Concubine.

After entering the palace gate and walking inside, not long after, I saw the queen and the concubine standing there at the entrance of the apse, talking to Yao Xingde.

Judging from the expressions and movements, the content of the conversation was not pleasant.

As I got closer, I heard the Queen say loudly: "What if I must see Your Majesty today?"

Yao Xingde bowed and said: "Then the slaves and others can only be rude."

After the words fell, the imperial guards guarding the door all held their hands on the handles of their knives, all eyes fixed on the queen.

Judging from this posture, if the queen wanted to force her way in, they would draw their swords out of their sheaths without hesitation.
