The wedding ceremony had not yet come, and the events of the past life had not happened yet. Even if Zheng Ji wanted to say that there was something wrong with Aunt Yueyuan, he could not say it.
It was as if something invisible was holding her back.
So, she could only change her explanation: "Concubine, can you get the records of the maids before and after Aunt Yueyuan entered the palace? I want to see it."
Concubine Jiang raised her charming eyes and said with a smile: "Xiaojiu, do you have any misunderstandings about the mother-in-law? The records of the maids are in the hands of the queen. Can I see this?"
The emperor indeed loved her, but this love was not as boundless as the sea, but had a certain degree.
Looking at the records of the maids in the Queen's hands, it is obvious that this level has been exceeded.
Zheng Ji clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Concubine, this is really important. Please beg Concubine."
The term "favored in the harem" is not just talk. No matter what happens to the mother and concubine later, she is still the concubine of the court.
Father's favor will never be lost so quickly.
Moreover, the palace maid's records were changed every five years, and it happened that the records of Aunt Yueyuan's group were changed just a few years ago. Now she didn't know whether it was in the Kunning Palace or the Shang Palace Bureau.
"How important is it? If you don't tell the mother-in-law anything, what will the mother-in-law do?" Concubine Jiang said half-truthfully, but did not agree.
Xiao Jiu must be hiding something from her. This feeling existed before Xiao Jiu left the palace.
Now, it is becoming more and more obvious.
What does Xiaojiu want to do? Although she would do her best to help Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu was still young, and she was afraid that he would go astray.
"Mother, I can't say it yet, but I promise I will tell you after the wedding ceremony, okay?"
Seeing Concubine Jiang's brows gradually frowning, Zheng Ji quickly added: "Concubine, for me, this matter is not much worse than leaving the palace and leaving the house."
She would never want to see a deadly feud with the Tao family, which had power in the military.
Although the mother-in-law and Tao Xianfei also fought, they were competing for favor in the harem. As the mother-in-law did not give birth to a prince, this would not spread to the front court.
Concubine Jiang's breath condensed, and her eyes were full of doubts: "Isn't it worse than leaving the palace and opening a mansion?"
She knew very well how important it was for Xiaojiu to leave the palace and open a mansion, because she and her father planned this matter together.
How could a mere aunt in the palace have such an influence on Xiao Jiu? Then we can’t take it lightly!
Although Concubine Jiang has not let go yet, she has decided to check the full moon carefully.
Zheng Ji thought for a while and said, "Concubine, you can do this together with Concubine Tao Xian."
The silkworm kissing ceremony in the previous life not only affected the foundation of the Tao family, but also made the Jiang family and the Tao family become mortal enemies. It was a plan that killed two birds with one stone.
If that's the case, then she connects both families!
She whispered a few words into Concubine Jiang's ear, and finally said: "Concubine, in this way, you can know which ones are humans and which ones are ghosts."
Concubine Jiang listened, and after a while, she nodded: "Yes."
So she sighed and said helplessly: "Who would have thought that I would one day join forces with Tao Shu!"
She felt a little upset, but when she thought it was for her daughter, she became angry.
Zheng Ji leaned on Concubine Jiang's shoulder and smiled: "Thank you, concubine, you are so kind."
Mother and concubine were staring at the full moon, and Qin Zhou was staring at Qi Hongzhen. Things would never be like they were in the previous life.
Fortunately, there is still a chance to change.
A few days later, Dr. Lin, who asked for Ping'an Pulse for Fuqing Palace, reported something to Emperor Yongning.
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine is depressed in her heart. If she doesn't get relief in time, she may be in harm's way to her health."
Emperor Yongning stopped reviewing the memorials and asked with concern: "What's going on?"
"Back to the emperor, I noticed that the imperial concubine was in low spirits and depressed. As for the reason, I asked her many times, but the imperial concubine refused to tell me."
Xue Gong, who was standing behind Emperor Yongning, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, His Highness Chang Ding has left the palace to open his mansion, and the empress suddenly has nothing to rely on."
Emperor Yongning nodded, fully understanding this.
After Xiaojiu left the palace and opened his mansion, he felt very uncomfortable without her chattering beside him.
But he had many political affairs to deal with and many memorials to review, so his attention was easily diverted.
But the imperial concubine has nothing to do, and she spends all day with Xiaojiu. No wonder she loses interest in everything.
Now that he knew the problem, Doctor Lin said: "Your Majesty, I think we should find something to do for the imperial concubine. This will easily divert the imperial concubine's attention, and the depression will gradually be relieved."
Find something for the noble concubine to do? What can she do?
This time, he was really able to stump Emperor Yongning.
The queen has always been in charge of affairs in the harem. He cannot divide the queen's power for no reason.
Maybe it could easily cause another disturbance in the harem.
Furthermore, even if he forcibly divided the queen's power, he was worried that his beloved concubine would not be able to do these things well.
After all, my beloved concubine is lazy and afraid of trouble.
"Your Highness, the silkworm kissing ceremony is about to begin. The Queen has to go to Xiyuan to kiss the silkworms, and the harem will be even busier. Why not leave some easy things to the Imperial Concubine?"
Xue Gong lowered his head and reported, weighing his sleeve with his right hand.
Qian Gu, the chief manager of Fuqing Palace, came to see him earlier. Concubine Dao was not feeling well and wanted to leave the palace to accompany His Highness Changding, so she asked him to speak kindly in front of the emperor.
Xue Gong knew very well that it was impossible for the imperial concubine to leave the palace, but he could still say a few words for the imperial concubine when the time was right.
Isn't this a wedding ceremony?
Silkworm kissing ceremony?
Emperor Yongning tapped the memorial with one hand and then shook his head.
No, the wedding ceremony was too important, and he was afraid that Concubine Jiang would screw it up.
As for the others, you can consider them.
He pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Pass on my decree and show up at Kunning Palace tonight."
Since we have to find something to do for Concubine Jiang, we can't bypass the Queen.
After all, the queen was in charge of Concubine Jiang when she was in charge of the harem.
On days other than the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the emperor stayed in Kunning Palace, which made many people in the harem feel strange.
The people in the harem are really smart, and they even know a thing or two about what is happening in Kunning Palace.
It was said that the emperor and the queen had a dispute, but no one knew what the dispute was about. All they knew was that the emperor was so angry that he even threw many of the ornaments in Kunning Palace.
However, I don't know if the queen cried too much or something else. Although the emperor was furious, he still stayed in Kunning Palace and did not leave until the next morning.
Just when everyone was speculating on what happened, news came out from Kunning Palace.
Queen Xue said that because the wedding ceremony was approaching and everything in the palace was busy, she specially ordered Concubine Jiang Guifei and Concubine Tao Xian to assist in the affairs of the Sixth Palace!
As soon as the news came out, the harem instantly became quiet.
