"Your mother still doesn't have a royal decree?"
"No, father feels that his own affairs should not trouble the royal family too much." Jiang Jin thought, his long eyelashes trembling twice. This was Jiang Xuncheng's explanation.
He explained that he had no intention of asking for a royal decree for his mother.
But just after his mother passed away, Aunt Gu came to power, and he couldn't wait to give her a royal appointment.
"Your Highness, I need my mother to have a destiny." Jiang Jinxin said solemnly again. As long as her mother has a destiny, she will not let Aunt Gu and Jiang Xuncheng scheme to such an extent.
"Yes!" Pei Juexu waved his hand lazily but elegantly.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Jinxin saluted.
"Jiang Jinxin!" He whispered her name.
Jiang Jin's heart tightened: "Your Highness."
"You are my savior." He reiterated.
"My maid... I understand." Jiang Jinxin gritted her teeth.
Pei Juexu smiled softly, "Why did you save me in the first place?"
"Passing by, I happened to meet him."
"I heard that there was a banquet held in your mansion that day. How come you, a good daughter of the prime minister, suddenly ran out and happened to save me?"
"I was depressed. I went out for a walk and met His Highness." This was indeed the reason in the previous life, but it was intentional in this life.
"Didn't you come here specifically for this prince?" Pei Juexu asked with a smile, and the corners of his lips curved into a beautiful arc.
"No!" replied without hesitation.
"Okay! If it's not, it's not." Pei Juexu said with a stern tone, "One thing must be true, you are my prince's savior."
"Yes, my daughter saved His Highness." Jiang Jinxin straightened up and said without being humble or arrogant.
She has to admit this matter now, or not, so why bother? She saved him in the first place just for this life-saving grace. Although it is different from what she thought at the beginning, the essence is still the same.
"No matter who asks..."
"No matter who asks!"
Pei Juexu chuckled, his voice still filled with the gentleness of a young man: "Jiang Jinxin, you are very good!"
Jiang Jinxin did not dare to take this as a compliment, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending me such a kindness."
Pei Juexu gently pressed the silk belt on his forehead with his slender hand: "It's a pity that you are still late. If it had been earlier, my eyes would be fine."
"My daughter is late."
"Okay, you go see your mother and concubine!" Pei Juexu waved his hand and leaned back weakly.
Jiang Jinxin bowed respectfully and retreated outside the pavilion.
"Fugui, what do you think?" After Jiang Jinxin went out, Pei Juexu picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, and asked leisurely.
"I just feel that what happened before is a coincidence." Fugui replied hurriedly and respectfully, "At that time, no matter how you looked at it, it shouldn't have happened, but Miss Jiang showed up."
"What if she doesn't show up?" Pei Juexu asked.
"Your Highness...but...something might happen." Fugui's face suddenly turned pale. If that happened, he would definitely not end well.
"died?"
"I won't die! Even if my servant comes back later, there is absolutely no way anything will happen to His Highness."
"So, Miss Jiang Er saved me... for what reason." This sentence sounded like he was talking to himself. The most suspicious part of this matter is this, "Is there anything going on in Zuo Xiang's Mansion recently?"
"Something happened. Mrs. Zuo Xiang fell ill. I heard she came back from the palace that day." Fugui said.
"The Prime Minister Zuo is really an...interesting person."
Pei Juexu smiled softly, but Fugui's heart trembled. His Highness's words did not sound like good words.
"The Prime Minister Zuo is also a man of great luck... Who would have thought that this phase would eventually fall on his head." Pei Juexu's words were very soft. He looked outside and saw the faint shadow under the white silk cloth. As Jiang Jinxin left, she sighed once again, "The left prime minister is really lucky!"
Jiang Jinxin retreated outside the pavilion. There was a palace maid waiting for her. When she saw her coming out, she hurriedly came over to salute and led her back to see Luo Fei.
After not waiting long at Luo Fei's place, the queen sent someone over.
Jiang Jinxin said goodbye to Concubine Luo and followed the chamberlain to the Queen's Jingren Palace.
In the main hall of Jingren Palace, I met the Queen.
Calling her into the palace this time was not only Luo Fei's wish, but also the queen's wish.
The queen sitting high in the palace looked majestic.
This queen is not the emperor's empress Yuan. She was originally the emperor's noble concubine. She became the empress after the death of empress yuan. She has not given birth to a son and a half daughters. She has always been very good to the prince born to empress yuan, but the prince is weak and unbearable. With the line, it seems that things are not going well.
The queen was over forty years old, but she was well maintained. However, the empty hall had an inexplicably gloomy look. It was early spring, and the hall was already cold.
"Get up and give me a seat." The queen looked down at Jiang Jinxin and said with a smile.
A palace maid came over to help Jiang Jinxin and let her sit on a chair on the side.
Jiang Jinxin sat down and bowed her head respectfully.
"I didn't expect Jiang Xiang to have such an outstanding daughter." The queen looked at her with a smile, "I seem to have seen you from a distance before, but I didn't see you clearly. Sure enough, you are just like Jiang Xiang and Mrs. Jiang Xiang. Extraordinary appearance."
"The Queen gave me a thumbs up."
"I'm lucky to have you here this time, otherwise it would be really out of control. Your Majesty and I want to reward you well. I wonder what you want?" the queen asked with a gentle smile.
Jiang Jinxin knelt down and said, "I dare not, my lord."
"It turns out that you saved the sixth prince and were a great favor to the royal family. Come on!" The queen raised her hand in vain.
Jiang Jinxin was helped up again.
"Tell me, what do you want?" the queen said with a smile.
Jiang Jinxin gritted her teeth, knowing that it would be better to speak bluntly than not to say anything at all.
"Queen, everything is given to me by my parents, and I wish to give everything back to my parents."
"He is a filial child." The queen sighed and smiled gracefully, "The Left Prime Minister really gave birth to a good daughter, but you want to give your kindness to your father? I didn't expect that your father was the Left Prime Minister... and he actually made great achievements again. The emperor will definitely give you a generous reward."
Jiang Jinxin restrained the deep look in her eyes. The queen's words didn't sound like good words. The word "talent" showed everything.
However, this is what she needs.
This queen is not simple even if she has no children.
In the last life, King Jing was extremely close to the position of crown prince. It was because of the Queen's merits that Jiang Jinxin had frequent contact with the Queen.
However, in her previous life, the Queen had always been kind and respectful to Prince Jing.
Prince Jing's mother-in-law is Concubine Shu, but Concubine Shu is not in good spirits. She usually doesn't appear in front of others and mainly rests, and her relationship with Prince Jing is not close.
Jiang Jinxin also took this into consideration when she helped King Jing plan for the throne, and slowly promoted the queen's friendship with King Jing, seeking the position of a prince.
In the last life, things were about to happen, but something happened to her, and I don't know what happened afterwards. The matter of King Jing establishing the crown prince has not been decided for a long time.
"Empress, I dare not...talk about court affairs...I think of my mother." After hearing what the queen said, Jiang Jinxin stood up in a hurry and shrank slightly.
Since we don't care about the affairs in the court, we can only discuss the matters in the back house.
Seeing her like this, the queen smiled and became more gentle: "Sit down first! Why do you have to stand up again? I just want to chat with you about household matters. I mean, I can make you the princess."
"The queen is so kind to me, but I dare not, it's just mother... mother..."
"How is your mother?" The queen was curious and heard Jiang Jinxin's words one after another, making her suspicious.
"Although my mother is the wife of Zuo Xiang, she does not have a royal decree. When traveling, she has to bow to the other wives one by one. I am really uneasy, so I am willing to use my kindness to ask my mother for a royal decree."
When the heat was almost done, Jiang Jinxin said what she wanted to say most.
Did she give this kindness to Jiang Xuncheng?
Don’t even think about it!
Even if she throws her away, she can't give it to Jiang Xuncheng. Of course, she can't just come up and say it bluntly. This queen is extremely suspicious.
"Pray for your mother's life? Is this what your father should do?" The queen was surprised.
"Father said you can't abolish public service for personal reasons." Jiang Jinxin lowered his head.
"Your father is a loyal man. No wonder he gave birth to such a good daughter. Anyway, I will try to make some suggestions to the emperor."
"Thank you, Queen."
"As your mother, you should have a decree, but your father is too fair." The Queen sighed.
"The Empress praised me very much, and I thanked the Empress on behalf of my father." Jiang Jinxin knelt down to thank the Empress again, describing her gracefully and generously, "My father did not dare to depose his official duties due to personal affairs. He was grateful for the emperor's kindness and wanted to serve the emperor wholeheartedly. When working with the people of the world, my father often said that family matters are trivial and all that is needed is harmony within the house."
"Your father is a good minister, no wonder the emperor thinks so highly of him." The queen smiled and seemed very satisfied. She asked someone to help Jiang Jinxin stand up. Then she asked some questions about the Kong family, and Jiang Jinxin answered them one by one.
When she was done talking, the queen ordered her to stand down.
Jiang Jinxin retreated outside the door, raised her eyes to look at the high palace gate, her eyes were watery, and turned to the palace sedan to prepare to leave. Suddenly she heard a voice in her ear: "I have met His Highness the Second Highness."
"I've met His Highness the Second Highness."
There was a chill in his eyes. By chance, Pei Juesheng was here!
Take a step back, bow your head and salute.
Footsteps came over, and he saw thick-soled Ruyi moiré boots stopping in front of him. A gentle voice with a hint of smile said: "This is... the daughter of a certain family, but I have never seen it before."
"The second girl in Zuo Xiang's residence, the girl who saved the sixth prince before." A chamberlain helped him clear up his doubts.
"It turns out it's Miss Jiang. You don't have to be polite. I want to thank you for saving my sixth brother." Pei Juesheng smiled gently, his eyes falling on Jiang Jinxin's beautiful face. A trace of surprise and surprise flashed in his eyes. Unexpectedly, The woman I saw that day was actually the second girl from Zuo Xiangfu who had been making a lot of noise recently.
It's actually better than expected!
Such talent and appearance are really unexpected. Although Jiang Xuncheng is also very good-looking, this person...if he waits for another year or two, he may become famous in Beijing.
The previous proposal is actually acceptable...
