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

Jiang Shiying added: "I still want to ask for a favor from your majesty. I want to bring Hongying back to Jingyang Palace from the palace, and I hope your majesty will agree."

Lu Zhaolin nodded and said: "I just took away a little palace maid. It doesn't matter if you don't ask me."

Jiang Shiying had a serious look on her face: "Although I just took away a little palace maid, it involved the arrangement of the palace servants. How could A Ying's first concubine interfere?

Although the palace officials in charge wanted to please Ah Ying, they would not refuse. But Ah Ying herself felt that it was better not to break the rules.

Your Majesty dotes on Ah Ying, and Ah Ying doesn't want to cause trouble to His Majesty. "

What he said made Lu Zhaolin feel very comfortable.

Others only saw her as being flamboyant, speaking directly, and acting tough.

But he saw that she always followed the rules and was kind-hearted, never taking the initiative to cause trouble.

Take the matter of this little palace maid as an example. Regardless of whether it is in the palace or the harem, this kind of thing happens all the time. If other palace concubines met, they would probably not bother to stand up for a little palace maid. She was the only one who couldn't stand such a thing.

And on the way to the palace, she also took his reputation into consideration, so she endured the difficulties faced by her mother, the Empress Dowager, and did not go to him to complain or take credit for it.

The queen also felt that he favored Ah Ying too much, but he only felt that he was not good enough to her.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhaolin said softly: "I am very pleased that Ying is very considerate."

Then, he suddenly remembered: "After you become a concubine, you can add two more maids and two eunuchs to your side as usual, but it seems that they are not ready yet? And after you were poisoned last time, there were already fewer eunuchs. Got one."

Jiang Shiying said: "The Chief of Ceremony came to ask Ah Ying about this matter. Ah Ying thinks that the manpower served by Jiang Xue Pavilion in the palace is enough. If there are vacancies, it is better to pick them after returning to the palace. Make up for it."

After what happened with Xiao Songzi, the Director of Ceremonies would never dare to make another mistake. He would carefully select people with innocent backgrounds for her to choose from.

Lu Zhaolin nodded and said, "That's fine."

······

Another five or six days passed in the blink of an eye, and at the beginning of September, the Holy Emperor was about to drive back to the palace.

Until the day before the trip, Princess Yongning had not finished counting the Buddha beans.

Lu Zhaolin simply ordered people to bring the two large vats back to the palace for her. After returning to the palace, she did not have to rush to study with her brothers and sisters. She first went to Le'an Hall in the palace to count the Buddha beans.

While everyone was waiting to board the carriage at the palace gate, Jiang Shiying sensitively noticed a sinister gaze staring at her. She turned around and saw that it was indeed Princess Yongning.

Looking at her, Princess Yongning's expression became increasingly gloomy. But Jiang Shiying didn't care and smiled at her from a distance.

In mid-September, the Holy Emperor returned to the palace.

After washing up and changing into homely clothes, Jiang Shiying finally felt relaxed all over her body.

In the main hall, all the palace servants stood in the hall with their hands lowered.

Jiang Shiying sat at the top, resting her left elbow on the armrest and supporting her head with one hand.

She wore no makeup, her hair was tied loosely with a hosta, and her clothes were simple and elegant. However, the person sitting there looked so noble and awe-inspiring that one dared not look directly at him.

She first named a few people who stayed in Jingyang Palace: "Qiu Yu, Shui Yun, Xin Yi, Xiao Ting Zi, Xiao Lin Zi, Xiao Ding Zi, you have all worked hard these days looking after the house."

Several people hurriedly said "I don't dare" and just said that they were doing their duty.

Jiang Shiying said with a smile: "There is nothing to be afraid of. If you take good care of your house, I will naturally reward you in my eyes. Everyone will be rewarded with two months' monthly payment."

Several people thanked him one after another.

Jiang Shiying nodded again at the people who followed her to the palace: "A Yuan, Yu Chengyi, Lan Hui, Fang Rui, Xiao Xuanzi, you guys followed me to the palace and came back from the palace, regardless of the fatigue of traveling and traveling. , the service is attentive, and each person will be rewarded with two months' monthly payment. Let's take a rest tomorrow and recover before going on duty."

Several people thanked them repeatedly, and Yu Chengyi joked: "After receiving the silver reward from the empress, my whole body felt full of energy. Don't explain, I don't need to rest today, and I won't even have to stay vigil in our Jingyang Palace tonight." Bring nappers.”

How could a great eunuch like him, who came from Shoukang Palace, be short of monthly money for these two months?

Saying this is just to make Jiang Shiying happy by showing off.

Jiang Shiying joked: "If you say that, I take it seriously. Who should be on duty tonight?"

The little pavilion replied: "To my Majesty, it's my slave's turn to be on duty tonight."

Jiang Shiying said with a smile: "You can rest tonight and let your father-in-law come."

Yu Chengyi bowed and said, "My dear, please take a good look, I will definitely not let you down."

After the laughter, Jiang Shiying's expression turned serious and she said, "Have you all heard about Xiao Songzi?"

Yu Chengyi had already told them about this when Jiang Shiying was washing up, and beat them all up.

Therefore, everyone responded in unison at this moment.

Jiang Shiying said: "I said when I first entered the palace, since I came to Jingyang Palace, I will take my heart back. If you do a good job, I can't treat you badly. But if you have evil thoughts, Xiao Songzi is Lessons from the past. Even if you don’t care about yourself, think more about your family. Who doesn’t want the whole family to have a reunion bar underground?”

Regardless of whether they were evil or not, their bodies tensed up after hearing these words, and they all expressed their loyalty.

Jiang Shiying didn't care whether they were sincere or not. Anyway, she would keep A Yuan, Qiu Yu and Yu Chengyi on their radar.

If there is a second-minded person, don't blame her for taking advantage of it first and then pushing her into hell.

Then, she pointed at Hongying and said: "This is Hongying. I brought it back from the palace. Hongying will be taken by Ah Yuan from now on."

Hongying and Ayuan both said "promise" and saluted together.

Shui Yun and others were a little envious. The empress brought her back from the palace and asked Sister A Yuan to take care of her personally. For the little palace maid, this was like reaching the sky in one step.

He then heard Jiang Shiying continue to say: "I have been granted the title of noble concubine, and as usual there are still a few vacancies around me. The Chief of Ceremonies will send people over tomorrow, and when they are filled, you all should keep an eye on them."

Everyone should be.

Not long after we dispersed here, someone spread the news that Zhang Guiren had come to pay homage to the empress.

Jiang Shiying had just come back, and he had no intention of making excuses with her, so she was rejected directly: "I just said that I am tired of traveling and traveling, so I need to take a breather first."

Outside the main hall, Zhang Guiren's smile did not change at all after hearing the rejection, and he just said: "As it should be, it is the concubine who has not thought well and disturbed the pure noble concubine."

Then she motioned to the palace maid behind her to take two steps forward and said: "This is the congratulatory gift prepared by my concubine to congratulate the queen on her promotion to the throne. Please give it to my father-in-law."

How she complained after she returned to her bedroom is unknown.
