When this matter was mentioned, Concubine Jing, who had always been straightforward, showed hesitation on her face and hesitated to speak.
Zhou Jingxian immediately realized that there must be something hidden, so she pretended to cough twice and took the opportunity to say: "I just woke up and my head is a little dizzy. Can grandma let all these people go out? I am not used to being served."
"It's my grandmother's negligence. Jin Yi, please leave them quickly and prepare the meals. In addition, go and inform His Majesty that Your Majesty still has political affairs to deal with. Please walk slowly and don't be in a hurry."
Aunt Jinyi, the personal palace maid, smiled knowingly and bowed specially to Zhou Jing before she withdrew.
As the maid in charge of the imperial concubine's palace, Aunt Jinyi belongs to the ninth grade. Even if Zhou Jingxian's mother-in-law is here, she will not specially salute before leaving.
After entering the strict rules of the palace, she truly felt that her identity had already changed from the daughter of Prince Kang, whom no one cared about, to Princess Sanpinxian.
But she was not immersed in the joy of changing her identity, unable to extricate herself. She even had inflated self-confidence, thinking how powerful she was.
Because she knew that if she had not met the noble person, she would still be a transparent person invisible to everyone in this palace.
Thinking of this, she perked up. She pressed her fingers on her temples, which were still throbbing, and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, why did the emperor give me the gold book and the gold seal? Did my father plan it for me?"
There is this possibility.
But this would only make Grandpa Huang even more suspicious of whether there was another hidden reason behind Zhou An's death.
Then if this golden book and golden seal were exchanged for Grandpa Huang’s suspicion, it would be better not to give them up!
Seeing the anxious look on her face, Concubine Jing grabbed her calloused left hand, patted it gently, and comforted: "Don't worry about your father. Although he doesn't know that you, His Majesty and Prince Jin are still in the palace. What was said in front of the door, but he sensed that something was inappropriate, and no matter how the Jinwang faction in the court tried to trick him into asking for credit on your behalf, he did not open his mouth."
"Later, the people from Jin Wang's faction became anxious and told you that you were not taken seriously in the palace, and asked your father if he was partial."
Speaking of this, Concubine Jing paused for a moment and carefully observed Zhou Jingxian's reaction.
I saw that the granddaughter who was easy to see through before was now expressionless, showing no joy or sorrow, shaking her head and laughing, and patting the back of her hands harder.
"Girl Jingxian, don't blame your father for neglecting you back then. It's really because I wasn't favored and I made you suffer. Your father can't protect himself and has no extra energy to take care of others."
When it came to this matter, Concubine Jing was quite critical of her son.
Her son is actually capable, but he has been trained too well since he was a child. He can't stand up if he doesn't want to, but he can't make the children suffer.
King Jin also showed that he would not fight or grab, but he had planned a lot for Zhou An and the others. It can only be said that her son, if he wanted to fight for that place, still lacked the firepower, otherwise he would have to rely on King Jin's toughness to recruit talents. His Majesty is displeased with the means, and the matter of fighting for the throne should have been settled long ago.
Zhou Jingxian knew very well what kind of person her father was, and she also understood his difficulties. On the surface, she was indeed not as rich as Zhou An and the others in material terms, but when she wanted to learn martial arts, her father gave in and hired a tutor to teach her. He secretly taught her many moves.
Even my grandmother may not know these things, but she knows it.
My father is just a lurking dragon in the abyss, not someone who only seeks to protect himself.
"Then, what did the father say?"
"What can your father say? He thinks he owes you, but he said that he will work hard for His Majesty and earn more salary to subsidize you. Then he will give you two cents of the dividends from selling saltpeter directly. In your name The shop belongs to you alone, and other people in the palace are not allowed to occupy it or share the profits. I also said that if conditions permit, I will support you to open a mansion on your own. In this way, the mouth of the Jin Wang faction has been blocked."
Four taels is worth a thousand catties.
Only discuss private matters, and do not be led astray by others to discuss state affairs.
My father still has a good way in this regard.
Zhou Jingxian showed a proud smile. When Concubine Jing saw this, her heart dropped, and she spoke even more energetically.
"Who knows, your father didn't ask for credit for you, but your uncle Prince Jin couldn't wait any longer. He said that you had contributed a lot to protecting tobacco seeds this time, and you also discovered tobacco seeds together with Na Ning Wuchang. Your merits are immeasurable. I only give you You have wronged you by making you a third-grade princess. We don’t know what his plan was, but after hearing this, Your Majesty took advantage of the situation and said that he would give you a gold book and a gold seal, and also let you associate with virtuous people more in the future. Help me to prosper."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Zhou Jingxian frowned.
Unlike his father, the King of Jin did not know the news of Zhou An's death. He could endure the pain of losing his son and ask for a title for her. There must be something special about it.
However, just listening to what her grandmother said, she couldn't figure out what Prince Jin's focus was.
Zhou Jingxian pressed her temples harder and thought for a moment. Not only was there no result, but her brain also felt a little throbbing, which made her miss her days in Jinling.
If she were in Jinling, she could turn to Youchu or Mr. Ning for help when encountering such twists and turns. But now she can only carry it alone. If she discusses it with her father, she is afraid that after the emperor's eyes and ears know about it, I feel that she is not as loyal to the country as she showed.
Just as he was frowning, hearty laughter came from outside the hall.
"Haha, I heard that Girl Jingxian woke up, so I put down the memorial in my hand and came here. How is Girl Jingxian feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"
Came so fast!
Zhou Jingxian and Concubine Jing looked at each other, and both of them calmed down the original expressions on their faces.
Judging from the time Aunt Jinyi left, I'm afraid we haven't reached the halfway point yet.
This shows that every move in Shoukang Palace is under the eyes of His Majesty.
Moreover, His Majesty does not intend to hide it anymore.
Concubine Jing couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. She could only be glad that she didn't say anything she shouldn't have said. She quickly stood up and straightened her slightly messy hair on her temples.
Although this was because she was taking care of her granddaughter and didn't dress up specially, she still didn't want to use this method of expression to show how much she loved Jingxian.
She did not follow the example of Imperial Concubine An. When she saw Zhou An being favored, she wished she could pick the stars and the moon for her grandson, and she deliberately showed it in front of His Majesty.
"His Majesty."
Concubine Jing waited until Zhou Qian walked into the inner hall, took two steps forward and bowed.
Zhou Qian quickly helped him up and walked to the couch together. When he saw Zhou Jingxian coming down to salute, he stretched out his hand to help her.
"The imperial doctor said that your body has been severely damaged and you need to rest in bed. Between you and my grandson, we don't need to care about these false gifts. You have done a great job in escorting the tobacco seeds this time. How do you want the emperor to reward you?"
Wasn't he given a golden book and a golden seal?
Zhou Jingxian didn't bother to guess whether Grandpa Huang was just being polite with her, or whether he really planned to reward her again.
Opportunities are reserved for the bold.
Grandpa Huang planned to give it to her, so she dared to ask for it!
