No one knows what Emperor Yongning was thinking.
But when Zheng Ji left Zichen Palace with a smile, many people knew about it.
Concubine Tao Xian paid great attention to Zheng Ji, and of course she knew this.
She couldn't accept this.
"What? The Emperor didn't blame the Ninth Princess? Impossible. How could the Emperor allow the Jiang family to have contact with the Tao family?"
Jingyi came to Jingzhao Wuge and was about to join Princess Changding's team. There were two main reasons why this incident made her so shocked and uneasy.
First, it was because she hated Jiang Zhao and did not want her family to have any contact with Jiang Zhao.
Secondly, I don't want the emperor to be suspicious of the Tao family, and I don't want the emperor to have his trust in the Tao family shaken.
It's their business whether Jiang Zhao's daughter or the Jiang family seeks death themselves, but if they want to drag the Tao family, that's absolutely not possible!
Therefore, she went to Fuqing Palace in a hurry and deliberately quarreled with Jiang Zhao, just to let the emperor know her attitude.
She thought that the emperor would definitely stop this, because the emperor did not want to see any connection between the Jiang family and the Tao family.
The Tao family has great influence in the military, while the Jiang family is the richest family in the country, and both are relatives. If the two have a good relationship, no one will be at ease.
Especially the emperor!
Although she felt that the Tao family would never have any contact with the Jiang family, she couldn't help the emperor's thoughts.
If the emperor becomes suspicious of the Tao family, then the Tao family will be sad, it can be said that they are facing an abyss.
She must not let Jiang Zhao's daughter drag down the Tao family!
She originally thought that if the emperor summoned Jiang Zhao's daughter to the palace, he would scold her, and then order Jingyi to return to northern Xinjiang, but she did not expect that the emperor would let her go.
How is this possible?
She would not foolishly think that it was a good thing that the emperor did not prevent Jingyi from entering the martial arts pavilion. The emperor's lack of care at this time just meant that he had other plans.
Once this plan is aimed at the Tao family, the Tao family will definitely not be able to bear it!
Concubine Tao Xian was so anxious that her mouth was bubbling, and she asked Aunt Xuecai next to her again: "Has Jingyi not entered the palace yet? Send someone to guard the palace gate. As soon as you see her, bring her to see her." I!"
After she returned from Fuqing Palace, she sent her confidants to find Tao Jingyi and summon him to the palace.
What made her slightly relieved was that Jingyi happened to have sent a message to Jiayi Palace and wanted to see her.
Calculating the time, Jingyi is almost here now.
"My Lady, please don't be impatient. The servant has already arranged for the palace maid to wait there. If Miss Jingyi enters the palace, she will be brought here immediately." Aunt Xuecai replied.
She was brought into the palace by Concubine Tao Xian from the Tao family, but she had been taking care of the tenth prince in the prince's house before. After Aunt Yueyuan's accident, she returned to Concubine Tao Xian.
Hearing what Aunt Xuecai said, Concubine Tao Xian closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
The more critical the matter is, the less anxious it is.
Jingyi entered the palace immediately. She knew exactly what was going on and how to deal with it.
Not long after, Tao Jingyi was led by the palace maid to Jiayi Palace and met her aunt whom she had not seen for many years.
Needless to say, when they met for valuation, they held their heads and expressed their feelings. After a long time, Concubine Tao Xian calmed down the excitement of seeing her long-lost relatives.
She looked at Tao Jingyi, who was somewhat similar to herself, and asked: "Xianxuan, when did you get in touch with Princess Changding? Why did you come to Jingzhao Wuge?"
"Slowly" is Tao Jingyi's nickname. The Tao family is a family of military generals, but they all hope that the girls in the younger generation will be quiet and well. Even their nickname has this wish.
Although what Jingyi did now had nothing to do with Jinghao, Concubine Tao Xian still couldn't bear to blame her when she saw her long-lost relatives.
Jingyi is just a simple girl, what's wrong with her?
Wrong, he was the one who tricked Jingyi into coming to Jingzhao!
"Auntie, don't worry. Great-grandfather also
knew. "Tao Jingyi replied with a pair of wet almond eyes.
"..." Concubine Tao Xian was stunned, and it took her a while to find her voice: "You said, grandfather knew?"
Since grandfather knows about this, then Jingyi's coming to Jingzhao Wuge is his tacit approval... No, not only tacit approval, maybe grandfather secretly promoted this matter?
Her grandfather often warned her that the Tao family had a special position in the military, and told her to have less contact with the family members of powerful officials in the court, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion.
However, grandfather asked Jingyi to come to Jingzhao Wuge, which means that grandfather deliberately let Jingyi interact with Princess Changding. What is going on?
Tao Jingyi looked at her aunt who looked confused and couldn't help but sigh.
My great-grandfather always said that my aunt was a simple person, and it seemed that she was indeed so. Without the protection of the Tao family over the years, my aunt's position as one of the four concubines would not have been so secure.
"Auntie, my great-grandfather said that my martial arts still need to be improved, so he allowed me to come to Jingzhao Martial Pavilion. Furthermore, my great-grandfather said that the only one under the imperial concubine's lap is Princess Changding. Being friends with Princess Changding will be of benefit to you, auntie. "
"But, I and Concubine Jiang... have never been at odds with each other, and Concubine Jiang has never had any contact with the concubines in the palace. Why would grandfather think this is a good thing?"
Concubine Tao Xian couldn't understand her grandfather's intention for a while, and was still full of doubts.
She looked at Tao Jingyi steadily and lowered her voice and asked: "Xianxin, tell me truthfully, did something happen at home?"
Otherwise, grandfather's attitude towards the Jiang family would not have changed so much.
My grandfather must have known very well that the Tao family and the Jiang family could not communicate with each other, which would arouse the emperor's fear, but my grandfather still did it, which means that there was something that forced my grandfather to do this.
Tao Jingyi opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
Seeing this, Concubine Tao Xian became more and more sure of her guess and urged: "Slow down, you don't have to hide it from me. Since my grandfather asked you to come to Jingzhao, he will definitely let you tell me this, right?"
"Aunt, that's true." Tao Jingyi nodded, and then said awkwardly: "I just... don't know what to tell aunt first."
"Then let's start from the beginning. I'm not in a hurry." Concubine Tao Xian helped her make up her mind. .
Now that Jingyi is in front of her, her grandfather has made a decision, and there is no point in her anxiety.
Tao Jingyi hesitated for a moment before replying: "Auntie, do you still remember the Spring Silkworm Ceremony in March?"
Of course Concubine Tao Xian remembered that it was during the Spring Silkworm Ceremony that Yue Yuan betrayed her, which also caused the Tao family's influence in the palace to be eliminated!
Does grandfather's change of attitude towards the Jiang family have anything to do with the Spring Silkworm Ceremony?
"At that time, my great-grandfather had a vague feeling that there was some force secretly dealing with the Tao family. The subsequent rebellion in Shuzhou made my great-grandfather even more certain of this."
After hearing this, Concubine Tao Xian became even more confused.
She knew about the Spring Silkworm Ceremony, but what did the mutiny in Shuzhou have to do with the Tao family in northern Xinjiang?
