fleeting photos

Kang Wang Jiangyan was ordered to return to Beijing, Wang drove to the gate of the palace, and Jiang Zhao went to meet him in person.

In terms of blood relationship, they are uncles and nephews, but in terms of personal emotions, they are not yet familiar with each other.

No one knew why Jiang Zhao suddenly wanted to let King Kang enter the capital. After all, everyone could see the precautions the late emperor had made against King Kang. Should not understand.

Not only the people in the capital couldn't figure out what Jiang Zhao was thinking, but even Jiang Yan himself couldn't figure it out.

A sick and weak prince who had been suppressed for decades naturally couldn't afford to be an elder. Behind him was the princess. When the couple saw Jiang Zhao's face, they bowed their heads and worshiped. Jiang Zhao supported him one by one.

"The emperor's uncle and aunt are elders, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony." Jiang Zhao withdrew his hand and said with a faint smile.

Kang Wang and his wife thanked each other again and again, and looked at each other, but they didn't dare to look up at Tianyan, looking a little timid.

Jiang Zhao didn't care about the reaction of the two of them, raised his eyes and glanced back, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where's An Le?"

What she was asking about was Jiang Yan's only daughter who had been married for more than ten years. She was born the year before last and is only two years old now.

At that time, not long after the Queen Mother passed away, Jiang Zhao was depressed all day long, and King Kang sent someone to the palace to deliver a letter, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She just personally named a Princess Anle, and rewarded some things according to the rules.

She has never met that hard-won little princess.

Jiang Yan lowered his eyebrows and said: "Han'er was sleepy when she was young, and she was taking a nap in the carriage. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

The little princess has a single name, Han.

Naturally, Jiang Zhao didn't know as well as a two-year-old girl, so he smiled and said, "It's been a bumpy journey, it's really hard work, I've already had someone tidy up the bedroom, it's still the Liuyun Palace where the emperor used to live, the emperor Aunt and Uncle go to rest for a while, and I will hold a banquet in Qingfeng Pavilion to welcome you and wash away the dust."

The words have come to this point, there is no reason why Jiang Yan and his wife shouldn't, and they quickly thanked Grace.

There were not many pleasantries between uncles and nephews, Jiang Zhao was going back to work in the imperial study, and sent Gao Sheng'an to take Kang Wang and his wife to the bedroom to rest.

Jiang Yan is nearly forty years old, well maintained, and has never grown a beard. He looks like he is in his early 30s.

He has been sick all year round, and although he has improved in recent years, he is not as thin as a stick, but he still looks so thin that a gust of wind can blow him down.

He is a prince, but he doesn't have any pretensions. He walked all the way without looking sideways. When Gao Shengan occasionally said a few words to him, he just nodded in agreement and didn't say a word of extra words.

When they arrived at the entrance of Liuyun Palace, they ran into Xu Yiren who was leading the palace people. She walked in the front, followed by a dozen or so maids, all with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

Gao Sheng said: "This is the palace servant who is serving the prince and concubine. The slave will pick up a few smart eunuchs later. If there is something that is not well served, the prince and concubine can tell the slave."

Pointing to Xu Yiren again, he said, "This is Xu Sizheng from Gong Zhengsi, and it's the same when looking for her."

Jiang Yan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to bother Director Gao and Xu Sizheng, Your Majesty Long En, please thank Director Gao on your behalf."

"My lord, you're welcome." Gao Sheng'an narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to signal, and said with a slight smile: "This servant has to go back to the imperial study to wait on him. It's really hard for the lord and concubine to travel all the way, so I won't bother you here, so I will leave."

After Jiang Yan said a few more polite words, he took Wangfei's hand and entered the palace gate under Gao Sheng'an's watch.

Xu Yiren turned around and gave some instructions, and the ten or so little maids followed behind and entered the door. She looked up and saw a few guards standing near the palace gate, and said to Gao Shengan: "Mr. Gao, please take a step to speak." .”

Knowing that she has a close relationship with Xie Jin, Gao Sheng'an naturally did not dare to neglect, and the two found a corner where there was no one to talk.

"I don't know what Xu Sizheng has ordered?"

"I don't dare to obey the order, but there is one thing that I need to inform my father-in-law."

Xu Yiren looked around again to make sure there was no oriole behind him, then lowered his voice and said: "There are many people in the palace, and some news about Jinniang's affairs in Tai'an Palace has leaked out.

His Majesty acted resolutely, but no one dared to discuss it, but Yuan Qi heard about it, so he found Gong Zhengsi. "

Gao Sheng'an frowned, and asked in a low voice, "How did Xu Si get rid of him?"

Xu Yiren said: "I only told him that Jinniang angered the concubine, was punished, and happened to be helped by His Majesty, but I didn't say much. Now he is jumping up and down in a hurry, and he doesn't know that Jinniang is in His Majesty's bedroom."

Gao Shengan asked again: "Does he know why Miss Xie was tortured?"

Xu Yiren nodded, and said: "Since he found me, he must have known about it. The reason why I want to inform the chief executive is that he is afraid that he will find someone important in front of His Majesty."

Yuan Qi could be regarded as a young talent, but in terms of character, Xu Yiren looked down on him, but he was afraid that he would jump the wall in a hurry, make trouble in front of His Majesty, and implicate Xie Jin again.

Without waiting for Gao Sheng'an to express his opinion, Xu Yiren added: "Jin Niang has made it clear to him a long time ago that the two of them have nothing to do with each other.

What's more, the matter has come to this point, there is nothing more to say, just afraid that His Majesty will think too much. "

Gao Sheng'an nodded, agreeing with her meaning.

If it was anything else, Jiang Zhao might not have thought too much about it, but it was related to Xie Jin, and Yuan Qi's identity was really sensitive. If Xu Yiren hadn't informed him earlier, Yuan Qi would have made trouble directly in front of Jiang Zhao...

Gao Sheng'an didn't even dare to think about it.

"Our family has kept this matter in mind, and will find a way to inform His Majesty. Xu Sizheng need not worry."

"I'm relieved when I get the words of the chief manager."

Gong Zhengsi still had official duties, and coupled with their different identities, the two bid farewell to each other after finishing the matter, and returned to where they should go.

Jiang Zhao is indeed a diligent emperor. He spends most of his day dealing with political affairs. In the past, he would occasionally dress up as a maid in the palace to meet Xie Jin, but now that his identity is exposed, even this only pastime is gone.

Gao Sheng'an was not there, and only Yuan Xiang was serving in Yuqian. When he came back to see him, he secretly slandered him. When Xie Jin's affairs were settled, he was afraid that Yuqian would no longer have the status of master and apprentice in Yuqian.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sighed, and Jiang Zhao listened to him.

"Why are you sighing for no reason? Can the emperor be angry with you?" Jiang Zhao said sarcastically without raising his eyes.

Gao Sheng'an leaned forward and laughed: "There is a big Buddha like His Majesty behind the old slave, so the prince will naturally give the old slave a three-pointer. After all, beating a dog depends on the master."

Jiang Zhao didn't answer, Gao Sheng'an continued: "The servant met Xu Sizheng."

After all, this sentence aroused His Majesty's interest. Jiang Zhao put down the imperial pen, rubbed his wrist, and glanced at him with the end of his eyes. Gao Shengan quickly shrank his neck and said truthfully: "Yuan Qi went to Gong Zhengsi to find someone. You still need to inform His Majesty."

Xie Jin had a clear attitude, although he didn't confess Yuan Qi, but he did have the attitude of wanting to never get in touch with him. Jiang Zhao had fewer personal grievances in his heart, but he still felt a little uncomfortable hearing the name.

She snorted coldly and said: "I know, if he has the ability, he can come and ask my dignitary."

Gao Sheng said: "The slave has already negotiated with Liu Gongzheng, and waits for the top and bottom management to be completed. Miss Xie is from our Xihe Palace. How can he have the right to ask His Majesty's dignitaries."

Jiang Zhao liked to hear these words, but he felt that Gao Sheng'an was not good at handling things, and said sarcastically: "You are really old now, and it takes so long to deal with a trivial matter, so it's better than Xiao Yuanzi."

Gao Sheng'an looked aggrieved and didn't dare to refute, so he could only take the time to stare at Yuan Xiang who was in a state of disbelief.

In the evening, a banquet was held in the palace to welcome Kang Wang. The ostentation was not big, and few ministers were invited, but Jiang Zhao specially ordered people to call her two younger sisters who had not yet left the cabinet, which meant a family banquet.

Naturally, Jiang Yan would not feel that he was being treated lightly. After all, he had been suppressed by the late emperor for so many years, and he was used to being ignored. He was sent to Beijing before, but he didn't even have a banquet.

Compared with his second brother, his niece has given him a lot of face.

Jiang Zhao was sitting in the top position, but Concubine Zhao didn't come. One was that Xie Jin was recovering from her injuries and she claimed that she was sick and didn't want to see anyone, and the other was that Jiang Zhao didn't invite her at all.On one side is Kang Wang, and on the other side are two princesses who have not yet been married in the boudoir.

The first emperor had five daughters, the first two were married before Jiang Zhao came to the throne, Jiang Zhaoxing was the third, and the following two younger sisters, one is 16 years old and the other is 14 years old.

The fourth princess Jiang Yin's biological mother died young, and was entrusted by the first emperor to Concubine Shu, but after a few years, Concubine Shu also went there. Some concubines said that she was obsessed with her mother, and they were unwilling to raise her. Nanny lives with her.

If the first emperor hadn't cared about blood and family ties, Jiang Yin would probably have been more sad in the palace, but although she has no worries about food and clothing, she has developed a submissive temperament, even if she is one of the few masters in the palace, she is still extremely marginalized characters.

Jiang Zhao has a lot of things to do every day, and rarely sets foot in the harem. Jiang Yin has never taken the initiative to greet her, and Jiang Zhao has no time to be in love with her sisters. The two of them only meet a few times at various banquets throughout the year. Attending Kang Wang's reception banquet, Jiang Zhao really didn't expect that she has grown into a big girl.

It stands to reason that Jiang Yin has reached the age to discuss marriage, but she does not have a mother to plan for it, and Concubine Zhao also regards her as a transparent person. If Jiang Zhao didn't notice, she might really die alone.

Just as the first emperor's filial piety period was about to pass, Jiang Zhao thought to himself that it was time for the Ministry of Rites to do something, so as not to worry about herself all day long.

The fifth princess, Jiang Xi, was the youngest daughter of the late emperor, and her biological mother, Concubine Jin, was considered favored by the late emperor, so she was raised a little arrogantly.

After the death of the first emperor, Jiang Xi's temper became a little restrained, but compared to Jiang Yin, Jiang Zhao still felt that she was obsessive and willful, so he didn't meet her very often.

The two princesses have different personalities, and the contrast is even more apparent when they are seated at the same table.

Jiang Xi always wanted to make small talk with Jiang Yin, but Jiang Yin didn't dare to speak casually, she just ate vegetables and drank tea, Jiang Xi felt that she was really boring, so she could only be forced to shut up.

Generally speaking, it's still a bit decent, and it didn't embarrass Jiang Zhao.

While greeting Kang Wang, Jiang Zhao looked at the two princesses. Not long after, the princess came with the princess in her arms. The little girl looked like she had just woken up, her face was flushed and she was dizzy, and she hadn't figured out the situation yet.

Jiang Han, the owner of Anle County, is just over two years old. She eats white and fat, wears light yellow, and wears two small bags on her head. She doesn't make trouble when she sees a lot of people. It took the audience's attention.

Jiang Zhao no longer had the heart to observe her two younger sisters, clapped his hands and said, "Let me hug the little Princess."

The concubine glanced at King Kang before getting up and carrying the child to Jiang Zhao.

An Le was young and couldn't feel the dignity of a king. Jiang Zhao was also afraid of scaring the child, so he smiled amiably. An Le was really not afraid of her. He giggled when he was hugged by her, and reached out to grab her to embroider with gold thread neckline.

"Can you talk?" Jiang Zhao teased her.

An Le understood what she said, and stammered, "Mother...Mother."

Jiang Zhao said with a smile: "Although I am old enough to be your mother, but in terms of seniority, you have to call me Huangjie."

No one taught these two words, and An Le couldn't speak them, so she turned to look at her mother.Concubine Kang looked nervous, and guided her word by word, asking her to call Sister Huang.

An Le is a very smart child, he learns very fast, and after listening to Wang Hao teach a few words, he can call out Huang Jie in a similar manner. Although the pronunciation is not standard, it is enough to make Jiang Zhao squint his eyes happily.

"He's a smart and good boy, thank you." Jiang Zhao squeezed An Le's soft little hands, and returned her to the princess.

Immediately, Gao Shengan took out a small brocade box from his sleeve, handed it to the princess with a smile, and said: "This is a meeting gift prepared by His Majesty for the little princess."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The princess hurriedly thanked her, and reached out her hand to catch the brocade box.

Jiang Zhao nodded slightly, and the concubine carried the little princess down, and when they handed the child to King Kang at the banquet, the husband and wife quickly looked at each other, both smiling forcedly.

The little princess is very favored by His Majesty, but she doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
