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

As soon as Eunuch Liu left, Jiang Pengyuan scolded Jiang Jing angrily: "You idiot, do you know who you are scolding the eunuch? That is His Majesty's biological mother, the eunuch next to the Queen Mother! You think your father's career is too high? Everything goes well, or do you think your sister Hui Fei’s position is too high? She keeps trying to hold us back every day!"

Before Jiang Jing could reply, Jiang Pengyuan waved his hand: "Send my wife to the Little Buddha Hall quickly. The young master has been slacking on his homework recently and went back to Jinsong Courtyard to study behind closed doors."

Turning around, she faced Jiang Shiying with a loving smile: "Shiying, good boy, go to the study with dad. Dad has something to ask you."

Today's farce is really tiring, but we still need to find out the ins and outs of the reward given by the county chief.

When Jiang Shiying was fifteen years old, this was the first time she entered Jiang Pengyuan's study. It was also the first time that she saw Jiang Pengyuan treat her so kindly, like a truly loving father.

"Shiying, please take a seat. Someone is here to serve tea to the second young lady, oh no, to the county lord." Jiang Pengyuan arranged.

······

Jiang Shiying was neither humble nor arrogant. She sat down calmly and said calmly: "Thank you, father."

Then he picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His posture was natural, smooth and unrestrained.

Jiang Pengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't pay much attention to his second daughter before. He knew that this daughter was born extremely well, and he did think that she was a rare commodity, but that was all.

To him, Jiang Shiying is a commodity waiting to be sold at a price that will bring him good benefits at the right time.

But before that, he didn't feel that he needed to pay too much attention to her, and he never thought of sending her to the palace.

After all, she was just a concubine. Due to her birth, she couldn't go very far in the palace.

But it's different now. Now she is the head of Jiayi County who has been consecrated by the Holy Emperor.

The county lord is of the fourth rank, which means that if she enters the palace, she must be a beauty of at least the fourth rank for the first time.

Looking at her current posture, she doesn't look like a concubine who has been living under the hands of her aunt since she was a child.

He was mistaken, and so were his wife and Shi Lan (the eldest daughter and concubine Hui).

Fortunately, it's not too late.

Taking back the thoughts that had just flashed through his mind, Jiang Pengyuan asked, "The imperial edict says that you have a life-saving grace for Prince Jing. What's going on?"

"That's it. I saved Prince Jing." Jiang Shiying was obviously not so kind and would explain his doubts in detail.

"You stay at home all day long, how can you have the chance to save Prince Jing?"

Jiang Shiying chuckled: "Father, must you have remembered it wrong? The eldest sister and the third younger sister are the ones who never leave the front door. People in our house have always said that I am naturally rebellious and disobedient to discipline. If anything happens, I will be fine." She just goes out to play, she doesn’t look like a lady at all.”

When it comes to playing outside the house, she actually goes to a women's martial arts studio to practice martial arts every day. From the age of seven, for eight years, no matter the wind or rain, I worked almost every day.

The Jin Dynasty was about to conquer the world. In the early years, the atmosphere was very open. Many families would let their daughters learn some martial arts, so there were many women's martial arts schools on the market. That is to say, since the reign of the late emperor, the daughter's family has been more confined to the palace, and they only learn poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting every day.

She has been interested in martial arts since she was a child. Maybe she was bullied a lot when she was young, and she only wanted to strengthen herself in order to protect herself.

Her aunt and sister were happy that she could not become a lady in the eyes of the world, so they strongly supported her.

Jiang Pengyuan looked a little embarrassed. He had indeed forgotten this, but he quickly adjusted: "Why are you born rebellious, disobedient to discipline, and all this mess?"

"Don't you know, father?" Jiang Shiying looked into his eyes, as if she wanted to see into his heart: "Many servants in the house say so."

Steward Jiang, who was waiting on the side, came to the rescue in time: "Master, please forgive me, it's my servant's incompetence as a housekeeper."

Jiang Pengyuan borrowed Po Xia's donkey and said, "Looking at your diligence and hard work over the years, I will punish you to atone for your sins. Why don't you go and find out all the servants who made mistakes and fine them two months' monthly payment."

Just as Butler Jiang was about to take the order and go out, he heard Jiang Shiying clap her hands and said with a smile: "Father and mother are truly a match made in heaven. The methods of punishing these servants are exactly the same."

As she said that, she tilted her head and looked at Jiang Pengyuan sarcastically: "It's just that, father, you know what you want from me, and I know it too. Since you are optimistic about me and want to bet on me, you have to Show some sincerity."

Hearing this, Jiang Pengyuan looked her up and down, with an unclear tone: "Your surname is Jiang. This cannot be changed."

Jiang Shiying thought to herself, this is really not necessarily the case. Who says she can't change her last name one day when she has the power.

But at this time, she just said: "Yes, that's why we need to talk here."

Jiang Pengyuan had already decided in her heart that she had been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, just waiting to seize the opportunity and give it a try. Thinking like this, he valued Jiang Shiying more.

"As a father, I underestimated you in the past."

Jiang Shiying was noncommittal: "My father never cared about me before, so how can I talk about looking down on me?"

Jiang Pengyuan was an old fox in the officialdom after all. His face remained calm and he remained silent for a moment before saying: "You said I want to bet on you, why should I do this? Your eldest sister is already the concubine Hui in the palace, I will continue Wouldn’t it be nice to support your big sister?”

Jiang Shiying said: "The eldest sister is Concubine Hui, but she is a concubine without children. If I enter the palace, we will be two sisters, one has an old love, one has merit, one is a gentle interpreter, and the other is A rare beauty. One day I will give birth to a dragonborn, and if we sisters join forces, why worry about pushing him to that position?"

When she said the last sentence, she deliberately slowed down her speech and stared into Jiang Pengyuan's eyes.

When he heard these words, his breathing became a little rapid. It was obvious that Jiang Shiying had spoken to his deepest desire.

Jiang Pengyuan smiled, his daughter was really a big surprise.

He said: "You are very smart."

Being smart is good, but being smart and knowing how to keep a low profile is even better. The harem is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones, and the light and shadow of swords is no less than a battlefield. Now, he has more confidence in Jiang Shiying.

So, Jiang Pengyuan ordered the butler: "Find out all the slaves who have slandered the second lady, beat each of them twenty times, and then sell them out. Just beat them outside the front hall, and let all the servants go to watch the punishment. Have a good time." A long memory to know what to do and what not to do.”

The housekeeper knew that he was serious about it this time, and he thought that from now on, things would change in Jiang Mansion.

He agreed respectfully, and then asked Jiang Pengyuan: "What if some of the servants are close to the masters, such as Aunt Xu next to the madam, or the young master's book boy?"

Jiang Pengyuan glanced at Jiang Shiying first, and saw that she still had a calm face. He admired her in his heart, but his tone was merciless: "Treat everyone equally. Since you are serving the master, you must know the rules. This kind of irregularity You don’t have to tolerate me, slave.”

As soon as these words came out, the housekeeper no longer had any doubts. After bowing to both Jiang Pengyuan and Jiang Shiying, he left the study and conveyed a series of orders.

A group of guards were there to arrest people, and to inform the servants who were watching the execution. The butler himself went to the small Buddhist hall and personally went to get those around the lady.
