Seeing Jiang Nianjiao's reaction, the soldiers guarding the gate just looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Fortunately, Lianying, who was catching up with Jiang Nianjiao, had already arrived at Jiang Nianjiao's side. She first helped Jiang Nianjiao up, and then asked Jiang Nianjiao with concern, "Girl, girl? What's wrong with you?" ?Please stop crying first?"
However, Jiang Nianjiao ignored Lianying's inquiry.
Instead, the guard at the door whispered, "Miss Jiang seems to be crying because she cannot enter the palace."
After hearing this, Lianying immediately said loudly, "Why can't you enter the palace? Doesn't our lady have a pass?"
"That sign is no longer useful. It was the order given by Feng Chen Palace himself." The guard could only repeat it again.
After hearing this, even though Lianying still wanted to have a seizure, she knew that she could not change the fact that she could not enter the palace.
Therefore, she could only comfort Jiang Nianjiao and said, "Miss, I can't go today. We can apply with the palace tomorrow. We might as well go back first. It's windy outside. If you get cold, it won't be worth the loss."
However, Jiang Nianjiao had no intention of leaving.
Lian Yingzheng didn't know what to do.
Just at this moment, a carved carriage came from the palace gate.
Lianying naturally saw clearly that the lantern hanging on the carriage clearly had the word "Liang" written on it. Those were not the carriages and horses of Prince Liang's palace.
The groom of Prince Liang's Mansion only showed a token, and the guards stood up straight and put down their spears. Just when they were about to let Prince Liang go, Lianying had an idea and she quickly shouted: " Your Highness, Prince Liang, please stay."
The two of them were not far from Liang Wang's carriage. Liang Wang Zhao Nianze naturally heard the call. He couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out.
But under the carriage, a young girl with slightly disheveled hair and a messy look was crying.
When the maid next to her saw Zhao Nianze's face, she seemed to have seen some life-saving straw and said, "Your Highness, Prince Liang!"
This was the first time he had seen Jiang Nianjiao cry so miserably, and it was also the first time he had seen her in such a state of embarrassment. It was not a small thing to be afraid. After all, he had rarely seen this girl cry, and when he got along with others, he had never been the only one to eat. There is absolutely no reason for her to suffer in front of others.
Although the girl in his memory always looked arrogant and domineering, no matter how arrogant and domineering she was, she was still his cousin.
Zhao Nianze frowned, feeling a little pity at this time, so when the coachman was about to drive the carriage into the inner palace, he just lifted the curtain and said to the coachman, "Stop for a moment."
The coachman naturally stopped the carriage immediately after receiving his order, and then he only waved to Lingying.
Seeing that this method worked, Lianying naturally approached quickly.
Zhao Nianze only glanced at Jiang Nianjiao and said, "Why is she crying?"
Lianying originally planned to ask Zhao Nianze to bring her young lady into the palace, but when he asked him about it, she naturally told Zhao Nianze what Jiang Nianjiao had just experienced and Jiang Nianjiao's appeal like a bamboo tube.
Zhao Nianze originally thought it was something serious, and seeing that she was alone and in such a mess, he thought she had been bullied. If so, he would seek justice for her.
I didn't expect that she would cry at the palace gate just because of such a trivial matter.
Therefore, after he understood the ins and outs of the matter, he only said to Jiang Nianjiao, "Okay, isn't it time to enter the palace? I'll give you a ride."
Upon hearing this, Lianying's face lit up with joy. He only hurriedly ran to his young lady and told her what Zhao Nianze had said.
Jiang Nianjiao just raised her head and glanced at Zhao Nianze, and Zhao Nianze slightly motioned to her, "Get in the car."
Lianying also said earnestly, "Miss, please get in the car."
Jiang Nianjiao didn't expect to bump into Zhao Nianze, and she was a little embarrassed when he bumped into her. However, she thought that Zhao Nianze was going to Yuxiu Palace.
She happened to also want to see her aunt.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao wiped the tears on her face and got into the carriage with Lianying's help.
Although Zhao Nianze showed no emotion on his face, he actually lifted the curtain for her.
The guard who watched Jiang Nianjiao get into the car couldn't help but said, "Your Highness Prince Liang, I'm afraid it's not in line with the rules. Miss Jiang is not from Prince Liang's house.
Your token is also..."
Zhao Nianze didn't want to directly retort, "Why is it against the rules? Her aunt is Concubine Yuxian of Yuxiu Palace, and her cousin is His Highness Prince Liang. The sign in her hand is a pass given by His Highness himself. Now she just wants to see her." Aunt, why are you not following the rules?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Nianze would defend Jiang Nianjiao in this way. The few guards who originally wanted to question him immediately fell silent.
Then Zhao Nianze only helped Jiang Nianjiao up and put her under the front seat of the carriage beside him.
After Jiang Nianjiao and Lianying sat down opposite him, he just said, "Where are you planning to go? Shall I take you there?"
Jiang Nianjiao just whispered, "I want to go to Yuxiu Palace."
He didn't expect Jiang Nianjiao to be with him. After all, since the third child went to Yunzhou, she has been going to Fengchen Palace every day. Now that the person in Fengchen Palace is still awake, he thought she was also the same this time. Go to your future mother-in-law.
And he didn't think Jiang Nianjiao was the kind of person who would just cry when she couldn't get into the palace, so combined with Lianying's words, he thought Jiang Nianjiao was at odds with Fengchen Palace.
After all, Queen Min's choice of daughter-in-law was definitely not the prime minister's daughter whom she considered to be from her own faction.
If the third child hadn't made a fuss about her marriage to the second wife of the Chen family, and even tried to force her father to obtain the royal decree for her cousin's marriage, Queen Min would not have been able to agree to the marriage so happily.
Empress Min was not easy to get along with, and her cousin was also a strong person. When the two of them were together, they would definitely have a lot of leisurely interactions. But now that she has nothing to do with her son, she must be thinking of teasing her cousin.
Therefore, Zhao Nianze originally wanted to support his cousin before meeting his mother-in-law. After all, since he found out that his cousin had been in love with someone else, he had gradually been able to discover some of the advantages in his cousin.
Moreover, during this period of time, most of the matters between him and Zhirou were caused by her running around for him.
Therefore, Zhao Nianze and Jiang Nianjiao have naturally now become somewhat tolerant of Jiang Nianjiao from their previous incompatibility.
But he didn't expect that Jiang Nianjiao's destination was the same as his. After being stunned for a moment, he said, "In that case, let's go together. I also happen to be going to see my mother and concubine."
Jiang Nianjiao was not surprised by this, she just nodded slightly.
During the period when the carriage entered the palace, Jiang Nianjiao was obviously still in a heavy mood, and it was difficult for her to ask Zhao Nianze if there was any progress in the case of Concubine Yuxian's assassination.
After all, she had been slacking off for many days, and even after talking to Qiu Wan, she actually thought about making her aunt bear the blame.
Now she just feels that she is ridiculously stupid.
Although Zhao Nianze wanted to ask Jiang Nianjiao why she was so depressed, they had never sat together so calmly.
Therefore, even caring seems to be a very embarrassing existence.
The two of them were silent all the way, and the carriage drove forward at a brisk pace. I don't know how long it had passed, but the groom outside the carriage suddenly shouted, "Yuxiu Palace has arrived."
After hearing this, the two of them naturally walked out of the carriage.
Nowadays, Yuxiu Palace is still heavily guarded, but compared with the previous visits, where even the palace gate was not allowed to enter, it is now much more relaxed.
After Zhao Nianze took out a token, they put Zhao Nianze and his party into the yard without even asking Jiang Nianjiao any questions.
It was also when they entered the courtyard that everyone discovered that after not seeing each other for just a few days, the courtyard was showing some signs of decline. The ground outside the house was covered with fallen leaves, weeds were growing everywhere, and the main hall door was closed.
Even the palace people who were busy inside and outside the courtyard in the past were missing.
This situation is naturally caused by the fact that most of the palace people in Yuxiu Palace were imprisoned and had no one to take care of them.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Nianjiao felt heartache again.
My aunt's disaster today is really an unreasonable disaster.
It's ridiculous that the niece she loved most almost pushed her into a pit of fire in order to cover up the crimes of others.
Zhao Nianze naturally felt very uncomfortable after seeing this. Although he and Concubine Yuxian had great differences on the issue of Su Zhirou, and although he was not Concubine Yuxian's biological son, Concubine Yuxian raised him
Over the years, I have done my best to myself. Seeing the scene outside the courtyard of his mother-in-law at this time, even if others saw it, they couldn't help but sigh, how could he not feel uncomfortable.
The two of them came to the door of the main hall at the same time. Jiang Nianjiao knocked on the door of the main hall, and then Zhao Nianze said, "Concubine, Jiaojiao and I are here to see you."
It wasn't until she heard this sound that the only maid left by Concubine Yuxian's side timidly opened the door.
Unexpectedly, just in the past few days, the house had been filled with a smell of mold and rot. Looking at this scene, Zhao Nianze couldn't help but get angry. He just thought that the little palace man thought that the Concubine Xian was about to collapse. , just stay lazy here.
Therefore, he just glared at the young palace servant and said, "Why is this room so dirty! You slave! Do you think my mother-in-law is going to die? Don't forget that I'm not dead yet!"
At first glance, the young palace man was not a bold person. Seeing Zhao Nianze say this, the girl quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, this servant will definitely not dare to do it. It's just that the entire palace is now served by only one servant. "
"You are the only one serving me, how can you not even keep this inner room tidy?" Zhao Nianze asked displeasedly.
He raised his hand and wiped a thin layer of dust on the table beside him.
After saying that, he just kicked the little maid down with one kick, "You Diao slave! If you dare to argue again, I will kill you first!"
The little maid was so threatened that she was so frightened that she dared not say a word.
Until a woman's soft voice sounded in the house, "Yan'er, who's here? Why is there so much noise outside?"
After he finished asking, there was a suppressed coughing sound in the room.
Hearing that voice, Zhao Nianze naturally no longer cared about teaching the little girl a lesson.
He just strode indoors.
