Zheng Ji sat upright, looked at Concubine Jiang intently, and said sternly: "Concubine, don't think so. In Princess Changding's mansion, as long as I think of Concubine Jiang, I won't be afraid of anything."
Mother and concubine, how can we measure whether it is useful or not?
Thinking about it, the mother-in-law was so arrogant that she was stimulated by the trap she set up in Wuge.
Mother, are you still afraid?
She held Concubine Jiang's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and said softly: "Concubine, don't say that. Does that mean that Xiaojiu will be useless in the future, and concubine will not like me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Concubine Jiang said angrily, "Even if you are useless, you are still not my daughter? I gave birth to my daughter in ten months of pregnancy, and you still have to see if it is useful?"
"Isn't that enough? Concubine, isn't this the same?" Zheng Ji said with a smile, burying his head deeper.
Yes, that’s what mother-in-law is like.
What a useless person she was in her previous life. She was arrogant and arrogant, acted stupidly, and was gullible to others. However, her mother and concubine had plans for her from beginning to end.
The mother-in-law did the best she could, even at the moment of her death, she was still planning for her.
The mother-in-law is the best mother-in-law, but she... is not the mother-in-law's best daughter.
Concubine Jiang felt that her daughter's words were a bit strange, but she also felt that she might have made a fuss.
She sighed and said, "My mother-in-law made a mistake, I shouldn't have said that."
It's true that she can't judge based on whether she has it or not, but what Xiao Jiu just said did make her feel a kind of sword and sword shadow.
She knew that while she had enjoyed great wealth and honor during her lifetime in the royal family, she would have to endure the same level of hardships.
The glint of swords and shadows she felt may be just a small aspect of what Xiaojiu encountered. Xiaojiu didn't know how many difficulties and obstacles he would face!
She felt like a boat was drifting in the stormy waters, but she had no intention of showing it at this time.
She deliberately cheered up and asked: "Xiaojiu, have you really wiped out all the martial arts skills? You have a martial arts selection competition next, are your injuries really no problem?"
Concubine Jiang knew better than anyone how much her daughter valued the martial arts competition.
Every time Xiaojiu mentioned Wuge, her eyes would light up. As a concubine, how could she not be clear about it?
Zheng Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Concubine Jiang no longer hurt herself.
She didn't want her mother and concubine to be immersed in such consuming emotions, she just wanted her mother and concubine to be happy.
Moreover, she knew very well that in order to avoid the tragedy of her previous life, she must be strong enough.
"Mother, my injury is indeed fine. I just need to rest for a few days. I know what's appropriate."
Concubine Jiang nodded and said, "That's good. You have to remember to put your health first in everything. Yu Youtang's matter is related to the Beiya Imperial Army. Such a big matter cannot be rushed. It must be dealt with slowly."
"Yes, concubine." Zheng Qionguan replied, seeing that Concubine Jiang seemed to have something to say.
Sure enough, Concubine Jiang pondered for a moment and reminded: "Xiaojiu, can we discuss the matter of Yu Youtang with the Tao family of Northern Xinjiang?"
"Mother, why did you think of the Tao family in Northern Xinjiang?" Zheng Ji asked curiously.
"The Tao family in Northern Xinjiang knows very well about military matters. They have people in the army. Besides, isn't the girl from the Tao family joining your team now?"
In this regard, the Northern Xinjiang Tao family and Xiaojiu are allies.
Although Concubine Jiang did not know much about the military and political affairs of the imperial court, she knew that if someone went down, someone would go up.
Now that Xiaojiu has dealt with Yu Youtang, someone must take the position of commander of the Beiya Imperial Army.
She knew one thing very well: the Jiang family had no officials in the court, and no one in the Jiang family could hold that position.
Zheng Ji thought for a while and replied: "Mother, although there are indeed people from the Tao family in my team, the martial arts competition and the Beiya Forbidden Army are two different things."
Regarding the Beiya Imperial Guards matter, she did not intend to have any dealings with the Tao family.
It is enough for the Tao family to have a Zhenbei Protectorate. If even the Beiya imperial guards occupy it, this is not a good gift to the Tao family.
Instead, the Tao family will die.
When Concubine Jiang heard what Zheng Ji said, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiaojiu, is there something wrong with the Tao family?"
She thought that Tao Shu had been coming to Fuqing Palace every day recently, and looking at Tao Shu's appearance that looked smart but was actually a bit silly, made her really less wary of the Tao family.
Could it be that she was deceived?
"No, concubine, there is nothing wrong with the Tao family. It's just that... the Tao family is not suitable for the Beiya Imperial Army." Zheng Ji patiently explained to Concubine Jiang, focusing on the issue of power in the army.
Concubine Jiang indeed knew that she didn't know much about the military, so she asked directly: "So, the position of the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Forbidden Army..."
"Mother, I have to think about this before talking about it."
She vaguely had an idea, but it wasn't very clear yet, so there was no need to speak out and worry her mother-in-law.
Although no one in the Jiang family can take the position of commander-in-chief of the Bei Ya Forbidden Army, it does not mean that the Jiang family cannot find a way.
Because, the Jiang family did a very good thing before.
When there was a rebellion in Shuzhou, the Jiang family sent 100,000 taels of silver to Jiannan Road in order to help the country put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and specially opened a commercial road on Jiannan Road.
The Jiang Family Business Road will make Jiannan Road prosperous as soon as possible. Only when Jiannan Road is prosperous and the court and people have more money, will the military supplies of Shuzhou and even other states of Jiannan Road become better. This will solve the root cause. The problem of soldier mutiny.
Otherwise, how could the rebellion in Shuzhou be put down so easily?
At that time, it was his uncle Jiang Hui who went to Jiannan Road to open up trade routes, and it was Dou Cong, the minister of the Ministry of War, who went to Shuzhou to quell the rebellion.
Others may not know whether her eldest uncle and Dou Cong had contact in Shuzhou and Jiannan Road, and what kind of friendship they had.
It is true that the Jiang family has no one in the army, but how could Dou Cong, the Minister of War, have no one?
Presumably, Dou Cong would be very interested in this position as the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army.
Seeing that Zheng Ji seemed confident, Concubine Jiang felt relieved.
She didn't know how to point fingers at things she was unfamiliar with. She wanted to give some advice, but Aunt Huinan had already led Zhao Li in in a hurry.
Because the prince almost had an accident and he needed to diagnose and examine Yu Youtang, Fan Zhishou summoned all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Department back.
Zhao Li happened to be there.
After he diagnosed Zheng Ji, he said to Concubine Jiang: "Mother, Your Highness is not seriously ill. You can just rest for two or three days."
His Highness is a martial arts practitioner. In his opinion, it is a trivial matter to have some injuries on his body. .
Of course, he would never dare to say this to Concubine Jiang.
However, there were some things he had to say, which was why he immediately followed Aunt Huinan to Fuqing Palace.
"Empress, Your Highness, when I was treating Yu Zuo at Lord Fan's request, I made a special discovery..."
Zheng Ji looked at him suddenly, a flash of light flashing in his eyes.
She hadn't realized yet that Zhao Li's arrival would bring her a surprise.
"Second update!"
