Chapter 14: Cousin

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they take root very quickly.

Jiang Xian thought of his previous life, Xiao Rongniang and Zhao Xi also suddenly appeared like this, and felt more and more that Zhao Yi and Xiao Rongniang were fornicating, and Zhao Xi was Zhao Yi who tried to get the genealogy jade after he ascended the throne.

It's a pity that she has never suspected Xiao Rongniang and Zhao Xi, and she didn't notice these things at all in her previous life.

Jiang Xian drank his tea slowly.

Think about Zhao Yi's exclusive favor of Xiao Rongniang in his previous life, Zhao Xi's background was concealed to death, if Zhao Xi was really born quietly by Xiao Rongniang's name, the lover not only came forward to inquire about nothing, but maybe he would also startle the snake to attract Zhao Yi's suspicion and lose his life.

She quietly instructed her mistress: "You check all the palace maids and female officials of Cining Palace, Kunning Palace and Qianqing Palace for me again, and the names and people must match the numbers, focusing on those whose names are still in these three palaces, but people are on errands in other places." But if you are not in these three houses, you should not look at it too much. Do you see what I mean?"

At this point, the matter has become weird, and the lover naturally knows that it is powerful, and nodded again and again, afraid that he will be killed, his palms are full of sweat, and he quietly retreats.

Jiang Xian was lying on the bed, thinking about who to ask about Xiao Rongniang.

This person must be able to enter and exit the Forbidden Palace freely, and he must also be friendly with the great eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office and the Inner Palace, and be able to quietly check the roster of personnel in the Inner Palace...... Cao Xuan is certainly the most suitable candidate. But she couldn't let Cao Xuan do it. When Empress Dowager Cao loses power, these things may become Cao Xuan's crime of peeping into the inner court, and this crime alone can cost Cao Xuan his life.

Who else is suitable?

Jiang Xian racked his brains and suddenly remembered someone.

Her other cousin, Wang Zhan, the prince of Chengenbofu.

Do the math, he's only eighteen years old this year. He is working as a guard with a knife in the Praetorian Guard. He was also in and out of the court. It's just that he is silent and follows the rules, with Cao Xuan in front, not many people notice him.

After Jiang Xian became the queen mother, he was mentioned as the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

In the seven years that she has been listening to politics, although Wang Zan has not made any contributions, she has never made mistakes.

When she was the queen, she felt that someone like Wang Zan was just an honest and loyal, and after she became the queen mother and began to mediate the major affairs of the DPRK and China, she found that it was more difficult not to make mistakes than to make meritorious contributions, not to mention that in the position of commander of the Praetorian Guard, she had not made a mistake for seven consecutive years.

Jiang Xian felt that Wang Zan was a talent who did not lose to Cao Xian.

Early the next morning, she and Bai Su went to the East Warm Pavilion.

The Empress Dowager has not come over yet, and the Empress Dowager is grooming.

Jiang Xian helped the Empress Dowager pick out the jewelry, and asked Mrs. Cheng Enbo: "When did my cousin leave? I haven't seen her for a few days, and I was going to come over yesterday to say ......hello to her."

According to the rules of the palace, if the outer woman wants to meet the inner woman, she must go to the fold in advance, and the queen in charge of the six palaces can only enter the palace if she is approved. The Empress Dowager has a noble status, Zhao Yi did not establish a queen, and the Empress Dowager Cao, who is still in charge of the Phoenix Seal of the Six Palaces, has always given the Empress Dowager enough in these matters, so as soon as Mrs. Cheng Enbo handed over the fold yesterday, the Empress Dowager Cao approved. It's just that Mrs. Cheng Enbo came and went in a hurry, and she said a few words to the Empress Dowager before leaving, which made Jiang Xian feel more and more that her grandmother was going to borrow Mrs. Cheng Enbo's mouth to hand the news of the amnesty to the palace maid and female official to her uncle Jiang Zhenyuan.

The Empress Dowager didn't care, and said with a smile: "Your cousin's body is a little bad these days, your cousin's mother is busy taking care of your cousin, and I am also worried about your cousin, so I let her go back." If you miss her, I'll let her come to the palace in two days to see you. ”

It's because I think it's an adult's business, so it's better for children not to get involved, right?

Jiang Xian thought about it, but his face showed a little coquettishness, and said: "Grandmother, I don't want to see my cousin, I want to see Cousin Azan-I have something to do with him!"

The Empress Dowager smiled, ordered the double-life gilt hairpin with green jade filled stone that Jiang Xian chose for her, and said, "The child's family, what do you have to find your cousin Ah Zhan?"

Jiang Xian took the hairpin in the hand of the palace maid who combed his hair, helped the empress dowager put it on the hairpin, and said coquettishly: "Don't ask! Anyway, I have something to do with him." You helped me announce his entry into the palace. ”

The Empress Dowager has always spoiled Jiang Xian, how could she not agree to such a trivial matter?

Then let Meng Fangling go to Xuanwang Zan to enter the palace, and said: "If you are on duty, just say to his peak and let him come over." ”

Meng Fangling went with a smile.

After waiting for an hour, he brought Wang Zan over.

Wang Zan wore the green regular clothes of the six-grade guards and walked in with a tall posture. The bright light of noon shone on his sword-eyed face, making him look more and more white and handsome.

The Empress Dowager couldn't stop flowing from the corners of her eyebrows when she looked at the happy smile, and when he finished saluting, she repeatedly instructed the palace maid to move a princess chair for Wang Zan and put it beside her.

Wang Zan thanked him repeatedly, his voice was respectful and enthusiastic, and listening to it made people feel good.

Jiang Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Why didn't Bai Su take a fancy to Wang Zhan?

Wang Zan is also very good-looking!

And his character, ability, and conduct are not inferior to Cao Xuan......

Jiang Xian and Bai Su stepped forward to greet Wang Zhan, and then took Wang Zhan to the imperial garden of Cining Palace.

Wang Zhan was stunned, his fair face was swollen red, and he looked at the Empress Dowager at a loss.

The Empress Dowager's smile became even bigger, and she said lovingly: "Your cousin said that she was looking for something to do with you, and when I asked what was the matter, she didn't dare to sue me." If there is anything, your cousins and sisters will say it themselves. If she dares to bully you, you can sue me directly, and I will punish her for copying the Heart Sutra a hundred times. ”

Wang Zan has a gentle temperament, when he was called to the palace by the Empress Dowager to play with Jiang Xian, he always followed Jiang Xian quietly, Jiang Xian said whatever he did, even if Jiang Xian went to climb the tree, he would only stand nervously under the tree and stretch out his arms to protect her instead of scolding her, if she did something wrong or caused trouble, he must be the one who carried the black pot and was scolded.

He smiled softly and said good-naturedly, "It's okay, it's okay." Then Boryeong and I went to the Imperial Garden. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile and instructed Ding Xiang and the others: "Bring a cloak and be careful not to let Boryeong catch a cold...... The weather is cold, don't give her flower tea, drink Lao Junmei...... Cotton mats and leather cushions should be brought with you, the wind blows cold on your body, and the stone bench must be icy hands......"

It was as if she was going on a spring outing.

Jiang Xian was full of black lines and said, "Grandmother, I only have a few words with Cousin Azan, and I don't need to bring the palace maid and the maid." With that, he pulled Wang Zan and ran.

Wang Zan nodded to the Empress Dowager and hurriedly followed her out of the door.

Bai Su was thrown in the Dongnuan Pavilion, full of astonishment.

"Leave them alone. The Empress Dowager smiled and comforted her, saying, "Bao Ning is still like a child who has not grown up, and I don't know when it will be qualified." ”

There is no qualitative and still encourages her to find a husband like a face-raising head?

Bai Su thought of what Jiang Xian said to her that night, and she didn't know how to talk to the Empress Dowager at all.

Dear friends, today's plus!
