After returning to the palace, Zheng Ji felt very calm.
After all, it had only been one day since she left the palace and opened her mansion.
In contrast, Concubine Jiang was much more excited.
She had been waiting at the entrance of Fuqing Palace early, craning her neck to look around. Even though Aunt Huinan kept saying that His Highness had not yet entered the palace gate, she insisted on waiting at the door.
The moment she saw Zheng Ji's figure, she ran over and looked her up and down before saying, "It's okay, it's okay, but I'm worried about the bad mother-in-law."
Xiaojiu's face was rosy, her eyes were shining, and her complexion was a bit better than in the palace.
This made Concubine Jiang feel relieved, and she also felt a little bit inexplicable loss.
Zheng Ji had a smile in his eyes and was also observing Concubine Jiang.
The mother-in-law had obviously made up carefully, but the makeup she used today was a bit thick, which suppressed her gorgeous appearance and slightly reduced her brilliance.
Zheng Jili was a little startled: It's only been one day, and the mother-in-law is like this.
The mother-in-law now has nothing to worry about. The only thing she is worried about is her.
This is the mother-in-law. From her previous life until her death, she was always concerned about her mother-in-law.
Zheng Ji stepped forward and hugged her affectionately, and said stickyly: "Concubine, I miss you so much."
Hearing her acting coquettishly, Concubine Jiang's heart suddenly softened. She opened her mouth, but did not speak.
Finally he just said: "Zuzui, come in quickly, my concubine has prepared your favorite rice balls with fermented rice wine. Huinan, hurry up and bring them in."
She pulled Zheng Ji inside and kept talking: "Xiaojiu, are you still used to being out of the palace these days? Is there anything else you need? Tell your mother and concubine, and she will have someone send her to the princess mansion immediately."
She paused and added: "If the concubine does not have it here, the emperor must have it!"
As long as Xiaojiu needs something, she will definitely find a way to satisfy it!
These doting words without any bottom line made Zheng Ji frown: "Concubine, I don't have anything missing. I just miss you very much. Can you leave the palace and stay with me for a few days?"
Hearing her say this, Concubine Jiang felt as sweet as honey.
She pointed at Zheng Ji's forehead and said with a smile: "You are just fooling the mother-in-law. How can the mother-in-law leave the palace to accompany you?"
She is a noble concubine of the Yongning harem. There are only two ways to leave the palace, either to return to the palace or to leave the coffin.
It's not difficult to do a family visit, but it's impossible to just stay with Xiaojiu at the princess's house.
The ministers of the DPRK were already very dissatisfied with her. If she really stayed outside the palace for a few days, she might have planned something.
But, outside the palace... how wonderful it is to be able to accompany Xiaojiu!
Probably, I can only think about it.
Zheng Ji did not ignore the yearning in her eyes, and continued: "Mother, concubine, go and talk to your father, maybe he is willing to take you out!"
The emperor and his mother are out with their concubines. Who in the court dares to say anything?
Concubine Jiang obviously thought it was impossible, and shook her head and said, "Let's talk about this later. It's the same if you often come back to the palace to see your mother and concubine."
Seeing this, Zheng Ji didn't insist on convincing her.
Since the mother-in-law has many concerns, it is up to her to find a solution.
Since the mother-in-law has the reputation of doting the harem and seducing the lord, she must really be like this, otherwise it would be such a loss!
Zheng Ji changed the subject and asked: "Concubine, why are you so anxious to call me into the palace?"
She never thought that something would happen to Concubine Jiang. If something happened, Fuqing Palace would have already given the news.
The mother-in-law is so anxious, probably just because she misses her.
Speaking of this, Concubine Jiang's tone became solemn: "The emperor stayed at Fuqing Palace last night, and the guards came to report this morning that a villain appeared in Jingzhao last night, which disturbed the entire Jingzhao. The palace is worried that something will happen to you."
She couldn't hear clearly in the inner hall. She only vaguely heard things like "villains" and "the whole capital". She was really panicking. Only when she saw Zheng Ji did she feel at ease.
Villain? The whole Jingzhao?
Has it turned out that what happened last night has become like this? This is too exaggerated!
"Mother, concubine, even if there are villains in the city, the princess mansion is well guarded, no one would dare to break in. Mother, don't worry."
How could Concubine Jiang not know this truth? But she still wanted to see Zheng Ji safe and sound with her own eyes.
Immediately, she waved her hand and motioned for the others to retreat. Only mother and daughter were left in the inner hall, then she said: "The emperor discovered Han Wei's body."
It was discovered by the Forbidden Army of the Four Guards during their night patrol. The body was so swollen that they could only vaguely identify it as Han Wei.
When she heard the news from Emperor Yongning, Concubine Jiang was extremely shocked and furious. She said that Han Wei had disappeared on the night of the palace banquet. She had not dared to say anything and was looking for him everywhere.
She also said that Han Wei should have some ulterior motives with the captured guard, and speculated that their target was not actually the Thirteenth Princess, but Zheng Ji.
However, all these were denied by Emperor Yongning.
"Perhaps it involves the crown prince's leadership. The emperor does not want the matter to expand, so Han Wei's matter will be left alone." Jiang Guifei said this, feeling a little unspeakable.
There was obviously something wrong with Han Wei, and it was probably related to the changes in the palace banquet, but the emperor did not investigate further.
Logically speaking, this is good for her and she should be happy, but she just doesn't feel happy about it.
Soon, Concubine Jiang thought about it and said with a smile: "It's true for me, as long as the emperor doesn't investigate further, this is a good thing!"
You need both face and dignity. Nothing in this world is so cheap.
She comes from a businessman's family and knows very well that you can get as much as you give.
Concubine Jiang put the matter down and asked another matter: "Xiaojiu, did Prince Song bully you?"
When Zheng Ji left the palace and opened a mansion, she was worried about ten million people and sent people to pay close attention to the activities in Princess Changding's mansion.
Naturally, they found out about Zheng Ji's teasing of Tutor Du's youngest son in public and his scolding of Song Zan.
When she heard these reports, Concubine Jiang couldn't believe it for a while.
As a concubine, she knew how much Xiao Jiu liked Song Zan. How could she reprimand him in public?
That must be Song Zan doing something to feel sorry for Xiao Jiu!
Seeing that Zheng Ji didn't say anything, Concubine Jiang confirmed her suspicions and couldn't help but get angry: "The Anlehou Mansion is so bold. I'm still very favored by this palace, so Song Zan dares to bully you. How dare you!" "
Hearing these familiar words to protect his shortcomings, Zheng Ji wanted to laugh, but his eyes felt sour.
In the previous life, my mother-in-law also said the same thing, and she felt the same way.
She was treated coldly by Song Zan, so she immediately returned to the palace to tell her mother and concubine, and then Song Zan and Anlehou came to the palace to apologize.
Later... they were all gone.
At that time, she did not understand that it was not her and her mother and concubine who really decided the attitude of the Anlehou Mansion, but her father.
The mother-in-law is favored by her father, and she must be cherished by her father, so that she can even bow her head and apologize.
Once the father abandons them, these things will be like a mirror in the water, once touched, they will be gone.
She only understood this after being thrown into prison in her previous life.
In this life...
She had only one idea: since the palace reprimanded Song Zan in public, he would have to bear it and suffer it!
