Empress Dowager Jiang's words were kind, if a slightly duller person listened to her words, they would really think that she was thinking about herself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, how could Xiao Ziyu be deceived by Empress Dowager Jiang?

Empress Dowager Chiang has never been a good person.

To be precise, the Jiang family was born selfish.

"Courtier......" Xiao Ziyu still lowered her head, and the hand held in the palm of the palm by Empress Dowager Jiang trembled slightly, "The courtier knows!"

Empress Dowager Jiang smiled, "You're still afraid, right?"

Xiao Ziyu nodded.

She was indeed afraid!

She was afraid that a subtle expression of her own would expose this matter to everyone's eyes.

She was very afraid that something would happen to her father and Bai Congjian, and even the Eighth Prince would be implicated!

Maybe it's because she does have fear in her heart, and she is not as sure as she was before, so her emotions in front of Empress Dowager Jiang are not fake.

Empress Dowager Jiang has been in the palace for many years, and it can be seen that Xiao Ziyu is indeed afraid.

However, she misunderstood that what Xiao Ziyu was afraid of was that after marrying into the Bai family, she would be widowed.

Empress Dowager Jiang knew very well that Emperor Wan Qi would definitely try his best to let Xiao Ziyu be buried with him after Bai Congjian's death, and spread the news of Xiao Ziyu's suicide outside.

Emperor Wan Qi will not care about the Xiao family in the slightest, even if Xiao Ziyu is the only daughter of the fourth master of the Xiao family.

"The mourning family knows what you are afraid of, and the mourning family was also afraid back then!" Empress Dowager Jiang seemed to have thought of something, and said to Xiao Ziyu word by word, "The mourning family was in the same mood as you when they were about to enter the palace, although the people outside were spreading the wisdom of the first emperor, but the mourning family had never seen it after all, and they would always be cranky in their hearts." Women, don't you want to find a stable place to stay until you grow old in this life?"

Empress Dowager Jiang's words are half-truths and half-falsehoods.

Back then, she really thought about what her pillow person would be like in the future.

But she also knows very well that no matter how hard she tries and is smart, the position that has been vacant for many years will never belong to her. The first emperor is an infatuated species, there is only one queen in his life, if it is not for the withering of heirs, I am afraid that even the concubines will not find a few more.

But Empress Dowager Jiang never thought of giving up.

She had to enter the palace.

There are many women in the Jiang family, and if you want to get ahead in this group of people, then you must bring benefits to the Jiang family. In the eyes of the head of the Jiang family, those who can't bring benefits to the family are waste.

Instead of marrying an ordinary courtier in the future, it is better to enter the palace and gamble with yourself.

However, the first emperor did not treat the concubines with any tenderness. Especially when Empress Dowager Jiang was killed/fortunate for the first time, the pain is still covered in cold sweat when I think about it.

They needed the status and glory given by the first emperor, but the first emperor regarded them as a tool for inheritance.

There's nothing to be sorry for, it's just a matter of taking what you need.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Jiang sometimes envies Jiang Xijian.

Although Jiang Xijian was a chess piece under the Jiang family like her, Emperor Wan Qi really treated Jiang Xijian well in those years, and even when Jiang Xijian was taking medicine, Emperor Wan Qi accompanied her to feed her medicine and rest. A chess piece can get this kind of feeling, in fact, it is really a great luck.

When Empress Dowager Jiang thought of this, she not only smiled bitterly.

She thought she had survived, from the death of the first emperor to the position of the queen mother, every step was a thorn for her. But Empress Dowager Jiang never thought that she was a chess piece bound to the chessboard, how could there be any freedom at all.

"Bai Xiaoliu grew up watching the Mourning family, he is talented and intelligent, and he is Ran Ran's only child!" Empress Dowager Jiang continued, "Over the years, although he has rarely entered the palace to accompany the Mourning family, he has a lot of contacts with Xiaoba......! What a good boy!"

Empress Dowager Jiang's words seemed to be pouring out her heart and lungs, and she even did not hesitate to say her past events.

If you are another woman, you will probably feel that it is a great honor.

But Xiao Ziyu knows very well that a woman like Empress Dowager Jiang who can survive in the harem for many years, without heirs but without accompanying the funeral, how can there be any sincerity?

What they are good at is that women embarrass women and hate each other.

"But ......" Xiao Ziyu was interrupted by Empress Dowager Jiang as soon as he spoke.

"There is nothing, you have to remember that you were born in the Xiao family, and it is enough to get a rich life that ordinary people can't get since you were a child!" Empress Dowager Jiang paused, took off the jade bracelet from her hand and handed it to Xiao Ziyu, "The Xiao family has brought you a life without worrying about food and clothing, and you naturally have to maintain this family." Your father is still at the border, and your mother is seriously ill...... Ziyu, you have to think about them too!"

"This is when the mourning family entered the palace, the first emperor gave the mourning family a bracelet. ”

"Now, the mourning family will be given to you!"

"You have to understand the painstaking efforts of the mourning family, the mourning family doesn't want you to disappoint the mourning family and His Majesty!"

When Empress Dowager Jiang said these words, some of them were indeed from the bottom of her heart.

But she didn't tell Xiao Ziyu that when the first emperor gave her a bracelet, he also made her take a child-avoiding medicine. The first emperor didn't believe in the Jiang family, and the first emperor hoped that the Xiang family could live a better life in the court, so the children of the Jiang family ...... Either they are cold-treated, or they are not able to have children in this life.

She is the latter.

She told herself that she couldn't do anything about the Jiang family women who died in vain. Every time she encounters great difficulties, she sees the bracelet in her hand, and she will persevere.

The same is true today.

The Xiao Ziyu in front of him is very similar to Jiang Xijian back then...... The same stupidity.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Xiao Ziyu stood up from the bed, tears rolled down his cheeks, and finally knelt in front of the Queen Mother Jiang, "The courtiers must live up to the trust of the Queen Mother!"

"Good boy!" Empress Dowager Jiang picked up Xiao Ziyu and sighed.

Sure enough, Xiao Ziyu is the same as Jiang Xijian!

As long as she says a few heartfelt words, they will think that her words are harmless.

Really stupid woman!

After Empress Dowager Jiang left the Xiao family, Xiao Ziyu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She called, "Begonia, bring water!"

Haitang immediately entered the house with Qing Shui, and when she saw Xiao Ziyu with tears on her face, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the copper basin in her hand.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Haitang asked anxiously, "Did the Queen Mother say anything and threaten you?"

Xiao Ziyu shook his head, but took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, and his tears fell even more fiercely, looking pitiful.

Such a Xiao Ziyu is something that Begonia has never seen before.

"No!" Xiao Ziyu Jiang threw his handkerchief on the ground, "The medicine that Dr. Mu gave me is too good." ”

Even if Xiao Ziyu lost it quickly, Haitang's eyes seemed to be stimulated by something, and tears rolled down.

For a while, the master and servant in the house looked a little funny.
