The prince and his concubines have a little princess

Jiang Jingqiao looked at Zhao Qingzhi's back until he was out of sight, then turned and entered the Golden Luan Hall.

Zhao Qingzhi relaxed and went all the way to the Longevity Palace.

The queen mother was teasing mynah, seeing Zhao Qingzhi came back with a three-point smile on her face, she knew it, and said with a smile: "Sit down and drink a cup of tea, you must be full of eloquence, are you thirsty?"

"Going back to the queen mother, it's okay." Zhao Qingzhi smiled and blessed herself.

"Okay, sit down quickly, there is some snacks next to you, but eat less, and I will have lunch with Ai's family in the imperial garden at noon." The queen mother smiled.

"Here." Zhao Qingzhi smiled and sat on the couch opposite the Queen Mother, took a sip of tea with a smile, and then Lan Huafinger pinched a piece of small pastry and ate it. She didn't mention what happened in the Golden Palace just now. She knew that the Queen Mother beat her As soon as you enter, you can guess the result.

Zhao Qingzhi didn't mention it, and the queen mother didn't ask, the two talked about King Jing's childhood from the starling and nine niangs.

When the queen mother talked about her daughter, the corners of her eyes were raised slightly, with a mother's soft light in her eyes, and she said: "Don't look at her being naughty and often getting into trouble, but she was the most soft-hearted among her brothers and sisters since she was a child. Ai Jia remembered that when she was ten years old, one day she was born. It was raining heavily, she came back from skipping class and passed by the imperial study room and heard a maid crying inside, so she boldly barged in. It turned out that the little maid beside her father accidentally knocked over the teacup and soiled the memorial, and was in a hurry in the imperial study room. Cried."

The queen mother spoke calmly, and Zhao Qingzhi listened carefully. In her previous life, she only came to the Longevity Palace when the princess entered the palace to pay her respects as usual. At that time, she was mostly with several princesses. The queen mother would not talk about King Jing when she was young. Talking about Jiang Jingqiao's childhood with interest, he couldn't help but get a little distracted, and listened attentively.

"Guess what Jing Qiao did after hearing this?" The queen mother looked at Zhao Qingzhi with great interest.

Zhao Qingzhi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Did Your Highness resist for that little maid?"

The queen mother patted her thigh when she heard this, and said, "We've only been married for only two days, so you know Jing Qiao well. That's right, she thought about it for a while, and she lay down on the dragon table by herself, clasping one hand on the bezel. Turned over the teacup, and then gave the little palace maid a wink to tell her to leave quickly. When her father came back to see, Long Yan was furious and beat her twenty boards. She just gritted her teeth and did not let go. I usually don’t go to the imperial study to make trouble when I’m messing around, so the Ai family will give her medicine while talking with her about the family, and after a few talks, the Ai family will get out of the way.”

"Pfft." Zhao Qingzhi raised her hand to gently cover her mouth, and laughed out loud. She suddenly thought of the birthmark, and she also guessed that Jiang Jingqiao wouldn't come to ask the queen mother for verification, so she dared to fool Jiang Jingqiao, but the other party was ignorant. She seems to be convinced, but it makes her feel a little cute, probably deep down in her heart, she is still willing to trust people.

The queen mother raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Qingzhi, with a three-point love for the junior in her eyes.

"Queen Mother, the concubine didn't laugh on purpose." Zhao Qingzhi quickly clarified.

The Empress Dowager held up the tea ceremony with a smile: "I laughed on purpose or not. Besides, it's okay, it's harmless, just laugh if you want."

Zhao Qingzhi immediately stood up when she heard the words, walked behind the queen mother, stretched out her white hand and pressed it lightly on the queen mother's shoulder: "The queen mother is too lenient to her concubines."

"You are the one who will accompany Jing Qiao to old age, so the Ai family will naturally treat you as tolerant as a daughter." The Queen Mother laughed.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhi laughed and said, "The Queen Mother is not very tolerant of His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

"That's why she is crowned king. If she is crowned a princess and wants to marry someone, she will turn a blind eye and close one's eyes when she mourns for some things, but she is a prince, so she must be beaten and scolded, otherwise she will go out." If there is a big mess, the Ai family will tell her face by ear, and the courtiers have piles of papers for her." The Queen Mother said and pinched the center of her eyebrows, "The Ai family has worried about her, but from now on you are by her side. Advise, the court, His Majesty, and Aijia can all save some time."

"The Empress Dowager's concubine has such high expectations, and the concubine is afraid that her lack of ability will disappoint the Queen Mother in the future." Zhao Qingzhi said sincerely.

The Empress Dowager's face became heavy when she heard the words, and she looked at Zhao Qingzhi for a while and said slowly: "You have read Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the strategies in the article are interlocking. , you are not worried about your ability to mourn when you are around Jing Qiao, but there is usually an unnecessary paragraph at the end of your article. It can be seen that no matter how transparent the previous writing is, once you can’t accept it in your heart, you will be trapped Boo, your eyes, ears and senses will all be trapped in your own world, and you won't be able to see any changes around you, which is dangerous, now, can you tell Aijia sincerely, are you willing to advance and retreat with Jing Qiao?"

Zhao Qingzhi looked at the queen mother, her eyes were slightly red, she was ashamed at this moment, the queen mother of the previous life must have been very disappointed in her, she didn't pay too much attention to Jiang Jingqiao, and sometimes she only did it for the sake of Xiao An She cooks secretly to do her best, as if that would make her feel at ease. She didn't really look at their lives from the perspective of husband and wife. For about two years in the past three years, they shared the same bed and had different dreams. have no idea.

The queen mother did not urge Zhao Qingzhi, she restrained the queen mother's light and majesty, and waited quietly.

Zhao Qingzhi's eyes were red, she slowly looked at the Queen Mother, and said sincerely: "My concubine loves King Jing, and my concubine is willing to accompany you through life and death."

The queen mother looked directly at Zhao Qingzhi's eyes when she heard the words.

"Queen Dowager." Chang Le walked in quickly, "The Duke of Sheng and the princess of the county have arrived."

The queen mother kept looking into Zhao Qingzhi's eyes, and after a long time, she stretched out her hand and patted Zhao Qingzhi's hand, saying, "Good boy, I believe in you. Unfortunately, Jing Qiao was born in the royal family, and the things you will face in the future will be more cruel than today. Your Majesty He loves Jing Qiao, but the Ai family also wants to tell you that sometimes the king can’t help himself, and when it’s a last resort for the sake of the country and the community, the closest relatives have to bear the heart and give up, do you understand?”

Zhao Qingzhi's spirit was shaken, and she said slowly: "The concubine understands, the queen mother can rest assured."

The queen mother nodded when she heard the words, pointed to the seat next to her and said: "Sit down, put away the tears in your eyes, lest the princess of the county think that the Ai family has reprimanded you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhi quickly picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"Come in, King Xuan and Princess Princess." The queen mother adjusted her sitting posture, and a peaceful and kind smile appeared on her face again.

At this time, in the Jinluan Palace, there were eunuchs ringing the bell in the outer hall, and a scholar from the Wenhua Hall personally collected the papers in the outer hall.

More than a dozen scholars read the 68 papers in batches, and finally ranked them and presented them to Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde read the first three articles, shook his head and said: "In my opinion, the No.3 article is better than the No.1 article, and the No.1 article can barely come second. .”

Emperor Zhengde looked down as he spoke, and his eyes lit up when he saw the article of No.8, so he put No.8 in the first position, moved No.3 to the second, and moved the original number one to the second. Three, put the original No. 6 in the bottom No.[-] position.

"I've rearranged the rankings, King Jing, let Xueshi Wang and Meng Qing follow you to the roll call."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingqiao hurriedly stepped out, carefully glanced at No.1's article, the one who took the unusual path was probably Huang Xing, right?

"Here." After Jiang Jingqiao took the order, he led Wang Xueshi and Meng Yunying out of the hall, only to see the tributes outside kneeling down in unison.

Wang Xueshi unsealed the articles and handed them to Jiang Jingqiao one by one.

Jiang Jingqiao saw that it was really Huang Xing from Huaiyin, cleared his throat and said, "In this section, Huang Xing from Huaiyin ranked first in the imperial examination, and Huang Xing from Huaiyin ranked second in the imperial examination, Zhao Ningbo from the capital..."

Among the tributes, Huang Xing seemed to be expecting it, and looked at Jiang Jingqiao from a distance with his arms folded and a smile on his lips, while Zhao Ningbo looked excitedly at the glorious Golden Palace. From now on, he will also show his ambition here Serve the court like his father.

Jiang Jingqiao continued to read out the list of Jinshi, but her eyes would also glance at Zhao Ningbo. The Zhao family finally reached the time when father and son ruled together. In all fairness, Zhao Qingzhi's three older brothers are more courageous than her father. Speaking of which, her backup force is pretty good. Compared with Kang Wang, she has a bigger advantage now.
