The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother
Chapter 42 Dilemma
In the blink of an eye, the journey is already halfway over.
If we say that at the beginning, the scenery on both sides of the road was quite novel.
By now, everyone was too lazy to open the curtains and look out, they just wanted to get to the palace as soon as possible.
On this day, the mother in front was on the carriage of the Empress Dowager.
As soon as Yuan Baolin got on the car, he heard his mother, the Queen Mother, ask——
"Concubine Jia went to the Queen Mother's house again?"
Yuan Baolin nodded.
"Go and spread the word to the Ai family that they want to summon concubines to talk to them." the queen mother, the empress dowager, ordered.
Seeing Eunuch Chen going to send a message, Yuan Baolin quickly stopped him.
"Aunt, didn't we agree not to cause trouble for Jia's concubine?"
On the first day of departure, the empress dowager wanted to find the concubine to come over.
But Yuan Baolin really didn't want to face Concubine Jia, a beloved concubine. The Queen couldn't do anything to Concubine Jia, let alone this little Baolin.
In addition, she still remembered the scene where the concubine kicked someone out during the flower viewing banquet. She felt scared when she thought about it, and she wished she could stay eight feet away from the concubine on weekdays.
Therefore, she talked hard and acted like a coquettish girl, and finally gave up the idea of the mother-in-law and the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager frowned: "When I think of the concubine, I feel unhappy."
During the days when she was "cultivating her body" in Shou'an Palace, the face that appeared most often in front of her eyes was that of Princess Jia.
At that time, Princess Jia smiled and said, "Where did the Duke Chengen's Mansion come from? Wasn't the Duke Chengen's Mansion inspected by the emperor?", which even poked the scar in her heart.
In addition, she felt that the concubine was the culprit for her being grounded by the emperor.
The hatred piled up one after another made it difficult to bear it until now.
Yuan Baolin once again tried his best to persuade her that there was no need for tit-for-tat confrontation with His Majesty's beloved concubine.
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass her."
Yuan Baolin didn't believe it, but there was nothing he could do.
On the Queen Mother's side, she seemed a little hesitant after hearing Eunuch Chen's message.
The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, wanted to summon a little concubine. Logically speaking, she shouldn't stop her. But everyone here knows that the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, definitely has no good intentions towards Jiang Shiying.
Just as he was about to refuse, Jiang Shiying held her hand down.
"Mother, we are still on the road. We are surrounded by guards, and many ministers and family members are following us. If a quarrel breaks out, it will not be good for you or Your Majesty." Jiang Shiying whispered in her ear.
The empress dowager may not want fame, but Lu Zhaolin wants to be a wise king.
If it was because of Jiang Shiying that the reputation of him and the Queen Mother was tarnished, she bet that this bitch would change his face in an instant.
The Queen Mother still looked worried, Jiang Shiying whispered: "Yuan Baolin."
The Queen Mother Queen Mother understood that Yuan Baolin was the Queen Mother Queen Mother's weakness in the harem.
The Empress Dowager is aloof, but Yuan Baolin can be easily manipulated.
So, the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother nodded and said: "Since my sister has summoned me, let me go."
Then, she looked at Eunuch Chen and asked, "Is Yuan Baolin still in sister's car?"
Eunuch Chen nodded respectfully: "If I go back to the Queen Mother, Yuan Baolin will be here."
The Queen Mother's eyebrows were relaxed and her tone was very kind, but she stared at Eunuch Chen and said, "Yuan Baolin must be a considerate person. With her here, the Ai family will feel relieved."
Be obedient and listen to your voice. Eunuch Chen naturally understood the threat contained in these words.
If the concubines cannot come back from their mother, the Queen Mother, in one piece, don't blame the Queen Mother for being rude to Yuan Baolin.
A moment later, Jiang Shiying boarded the carriage of her mother, the Queen Mother.
"I pay my respects to my mother, the Empress Dowager, and I wish you happiness and good health."
At the same time, Yuan Baolin saluted her: "Concubine, I pay my respects to Concubine Jia."
The Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, glared at Yuan Baolin with hatred, and then said to Jiang Shiying: "Get up."
Jiang Shiying thanked Yuan Baolin and told him not to be polite.
"Concubine, please take a seat." The Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, ordered.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
As soon as she sat down, she heard the Queen Mother say: "The Ai family heard that in these days, the concubine Jia's favor has been unparalleled in the entire harem?"
Jiang Shiying looked very obedient and just said: "I am lucky."
The empress dowager seemed to have a deep meaning: "In this harem, it is better for a hundred flowers to bloom. If you are the only one, you have to be careful about one day being broken by someone's hand. What does the concubine say?"
Jiang Shiying only thought that what the Queen Mother was talking about was really just flowers, and said: "It is better to have a hundred flowers blooming than to let a hundred flowers bloom. A single flower must also have the beauty of a single flower."
Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was about to darken, Yuan Baolin anxiously smoothed things over and said, "Isn't that right? My concubine feels the same way."
The Queen Mother glared at Yuan Baolin again, feeling that she was just a hindrance.
When he looked at Jiang Shiying again, there was a smile on his face, and he said: "When the Ai family met you for the first time, they thought you were a good boy and a good match. I heard that you and Ting Yu were in the palace before. Have you ever met before?"
Jiang Shiying answered yes.
The Queen Mother said: "It can be seen that you two are destined, but you must cherish this fate."
Jiang Shiying just smiled and said: "The sisters in the harem are all destined to be together."
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Baolin echoed again: "I think so too."
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said: "Jia Concubine is a smart person. She should know that in this harem, one person cannot go far. It is only right that there must be people to support each other."
"You are right." Jiang Shiying first expressed his agreement, and then said: "Fortunately, my eldest sister is also in this palace, and I am not alone."
Hearing her talk about Concubine Hui, the Empress Dowager could not help but sneer.
She also heard about what happened at the gate of Fengyi Palace a few days ago.
Everyone said that Concubine Jia was simply upright and would say such words in public, which exposed Concubine Hui's ambition.
But in her opinion, the concubine Jia seemed to have no scheming intentions, but she was actually the one who hid the deepest secrets. What happened that day was most likely because she deliberately tricked Concubine Hui.
Are you still pretending to be in love with Concubine Hui here? I'm afraid I'm not fooling her into thinking she's a fool.
The empress dowager simply made the topic clear: "Concubine Jia is a smart person, let's just say it straight from the Ai family. Mention Yuan Baolin in front of the emperor so that she can get some favors, and the Ai family will forgive you for your previous disrespect. ."
Jiang Shiying naturally couldn't agree, so she answered directly: "I, my concubine, forgive me for not obeying my order."
The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned ugly. Before she could speak, Eunuch Chen quickly whispered the Queen Mother's threat into her ear.
She really loved Yuan Baolin, her niece.
Therefore, at this moment, it is somewhat of a trap.
She couldn't just ignore Yuan Baolin just to punish Jiang Shiying.
Thinking like this, he glared at Yuan Baolin again.
Then he said: "The Ai family is exhausted. Concubine Jia, please retreat."
That night, as soon as Jiang Shiying settled down in the camp, she saw Yao Xingde coming with a flattering smile on his face:
"This servant has met the concubine Jia. Your Majesty has asked you to accompany her."
In the past few days during the day, Lu Zhaolin had to deal with government affairs and meet with courtiers on the imperial chariot, so he never summoned the concubine.
Even when setting up camp at night, he would rest alone in the royal tent.
Now calling Jiang Shiying over, he must have heard about his mother, the Empress Dowager, summoning her during the day, and wanted to find out what happened.
Jiang Shiying entered the imperial tent and saw Lu Zhaolin leaning on the couch, closing his eyes to rest.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty," Jiang Shiying said.
Lu Zhaolin opened his eyes: "No need to be polite."
Then, he patted his side and said, "Come and sit."
Jiang Shiying walked over and sat down.
"Did the Empress Dowager give you any trouble today?" Lu Zhaolin asked.
Jiang Shiying shook her head: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have not made things difficult for Ah Ying."
Lu Zhaolin had already heard what Jiang Shiying said during the day from the Queen Mother.
He knew that Jiang Shiying was thinking about his reputation and did not want to cause any ugly scene on the way to the palace, so he went to the car of his mother, the Queen Mother.
Therefore, when he heard Jiang Shiying's denial now, he just thought that she didn't want to embarrass him.
He patted Jiang Shiying's hand and said, "I've wronged you."
Jiang Shiying smiled and said: "Ah Ying is not wronged. Doesn't your majesty still know Ah Ying's temperament? The worst thing is that I can't bear the grievance. It's really nothing."
The more she said this, the more Lu Zhaolin felt that she looked reckless on weekdays, but at critical moments she was actually a sensible person who only thought about him.
Thinking like this, he said: "If the Queen Mother is really going too far, you don't have to be too forbearing."
Jiang Shiying knew in her heart that this man was just talking nicely now.
But at this moment, she still pretended to be moved and said: "I know that Your Majesty feels sorry for Ah Ying, but I also feel sorry for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please don't interfere in this matter, I can handle it well."
That night, Jiang Shiying stayed in the imperial tent. Naturally, I was turned over by the red waves again, and the mandarin duck tent was warm.
