Zheng Ji didn't know that Chu Feiyuan was eagerly waiting for her return in Princess Changding's mansion.
The reason why she has not left the palace for a long time is very simple, that is, she was intercepted by Concubine Tao Xian.
When she left the Zichen Palace, Aunt Xuecai, who had been waiting not far away, came up to her and said respectfully: "Your Highness, my mother-in-law has invited me. Please take the time to go to Jiayi Palace to see her."
Zheng Ji nodded and left with Aunt Xuecai without saying anything else.
She knew that there were countless eyes peering at her in the palace, but she didn't care.
Concubine Tao Xian's Jiayi Palace is not impossible to visit now.
When she first saw Zheng Ji, Concubine Tao Xian couldn't help but be stunned: she had never seen His Highness Chang Ding look so plain.
Because the other party did not apply makeup, she looked even more gorgeous and incomparable, which made her secretly sigh: She is indeed Jiang Zhao's daughter!
However, when she thought about it, she felt a little sad.
Jiang Zhao's daughter dressed up like this, obviously intending to take off her hairpin to plead guilty, which is not a good thing.
"I wonder what the Xian Concubine ordered me to come here?" Zheng Ji bent down and asked.
For the sake of Tao Jingyuan and Tao Jingyi, she had a very good attitude towards Concubine Tao Xian.
What's more, Concubine Tao Xian made perjury on behalf of her mother and concubine regarding the Cining Palace incident.
From this point of view, she was grateful to Concubine Tao Xian.
She also wanted to know why Concubine Tao Xian invited her to Jiayi Palace without avoiding anyone.
"Ninth Princess, I hope you will forgive me for asking you so rashly. I would like to know whether the Emperor...has made any changes to Fuqing Palace?" Concubine Tao Xian asked directly.
She knew that Aunt Xuecai's advice was right, and she also knew that what Jingyi said was right, but there were soldiers guarding both inside and outside Fuqing Palace, and the situation did not look good.
It was inconvenient for her to go to Fuqing Palace, but she was worried about the situation of Fuqing Palace.
Until now, she couldn't believe that Jiang Zhao, who had been doting the harem for many years, would really fall out of favor.
It doesn't matter if he fell out of favor temporarily. What matters is whether the emperor has calmed down now.
Not to mention other things, she was actually used to going to Fuqing Palace from time to time to drink Jiang Zhao's tea and win Jiang Zhao's money.
Zheng Ji did not expect that the first thing Concubine Tao Xian said was her concern for her mother.
Her eyes became softer and she replied: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Xian. My father... promised me a favor. If I get the top three in the martial arts competition, my father will let my mother-in-law Fu Qinggong." "
"..." Concubine Tao Xian was silent for a moment, "You are sincere."
She didn't expect that Zheng Ji would be so honest and tell her the result directly.
Ranking among the top three in the martial arts competition. Such a ranking and this condition are indeed too harsh.
But, how to say it? There is still hope.
Concubine Tao Xian looked Zheng Ji up and down, somewhat doubtful in her heart: Can His Highness Chang Ding really achieve such conditions?
Thinking that the other party could kill Xie Yi and others in the desperate situation of Dingchang, she couldn't help but feel a little more confident.
"The Emperor still has feelings for the Imperial Concubine. It's a pity that you don't have anyone around you now."
Neither Shen Chenhe nor Jingyi can fight now. Even if they recover from their injuries, they may not be able to help much.
In this regard, Zheng Ji didn't want to say more and just smiled.
She was waiting for Concubine Tao Xian's next words - the other party was anxious to invite her over, and it wasn't just for this reason.
Sure enough, Concubine Tao Xian sighed and said, "Ninth Princess, there is something I still don't understand. My dear concubine... what exactly do you want to do?"
She repeatedly recalled what Jiang Zhao had said before, and she always felt that there was a layer of fog hanging in front of her, and she felt like she was sinking deeper and deeper.
Jiang Zhao's fall from grace was intentional. Although the reasons given by the other party were very reasonable, she always felt that it was not the case.
Or rather, it's not just that.
Intuition tells
If she doesn't understand this, something uncontrollable may happen later.
Zheng Ji didn't know what his mother-in-law said to Concubine Tao Xian, but seeing Concubine Tao Xian's heart-wrenching look, he asked, "Concubine Xian, why did you say that?"
"I always feel uneasy. Jingyi said, if you don't move, I can't move. Now that you have entered the palace, you have moved, so I will invite you here."
Jiang Zhao failed to explain the reason at that time. Could His Highness Chang Ding explain it clearly?
Zheng Ji did not answer and asked instead: "Mother Xian, what do you think will happen to the concubine now that she is in Fuqing Palace?"
After hearing this, Concubine Tao Xian began to recall Jiang Zhao's appearance in Fuqing Palace. After a while, she replied: "My dear concubine, I think it will be very comfortable."
Jiang Zhao asked for this himself, and Jiang Zhao was able to live a good life no matter what the circumstances.
Even if he is banned now, he is probably still reclining on a soft pillow in the palace, sipping tea with a comfortable look on his face, right?
But what does this have to do with her question?
She straightened her expression and said again: "Ninth Princess, what are you going to do? Or, I should ask, what alliance have you reached with the Tao family of Northern Xinjiang? This matter is of great significance to the Tao family of Northern Xinjiang. What impact?"
After all, she wasn't really stupid. Recalling what Jiang Zhao said, she vaguely noticed something.
Jiang Zhao did these things, especially when the emperor questioned Jiang Zhao in Fuqing Palace, it felt like he was doing what he seemed to do to her.
After Zheng Ji heard this, he felt like he had "finally enlightened himself". It was not in vain that his mother and concubine deliberately involved Concubine Tao Xian.
Only Concubine Tao Xian saw with her own eyes all the things that happened to her mother and concubine, and could she know most clearly what kind of place the harem was.
In this way, Tao Jingyuan can rest assured.
Zheng Ji thought for a moment and said, "Mother Xian, whatever impact this matter has on you will have on the Tao family in Northern Xinjiang. General Tao is not willing to become the mother of an emperor."
This sentence was an extremely straightforward reminder from her.
It's just that he didn't say directly that "the Tao family in Northern Xinjiang does not want the tenth emperor's brother to ascend the throne as emperor."
Tao Xianfei has a sharp ear and eyesight, so she understands what this means.
Sure enough, Concubine Tao Xian's expression changed instantly. She looked at Zheng Ji in disbelief and was speechless for a moment.
Grandfather...does that actually happen?
"Xian Fei, the Tao family of Northern Xinjiang became the wife of the emperor. The Tao family of Northern Xinjiang made a wrong step back then. Now the Tao family is on the edge of the cliff. You should also know, right?" Zheng Ji said in a low voice, with an expression on his face. A little bit sad.
If she hadn't been reborn, the Tao and Jiang families in Northern Xinjiang would have been pushed off the cliff as early as the Spring Silkworm Ceremony.
She didn't know why the Tao family sent Concubine Tao Xian into the palace in the first place, but considering Tao Jingyuan's nature, it shouldn't be for power and gain.
Most likely, there was a reason why she had to be sent to the palace just like the mother-in-law did back then.
If you take a wrong step, you will make mistakes every step of the way. Now Tao Jingyuan has the courage and determination to correct his mistakes. This is a good thing.
This is also a good thing for Concubine Tao Xian.
However, Concubine Tao Xian's next words made Zheng Ji become that unbelievable person.
how so?
