Chapter 22: Mother and Daughter Talk

Jiang Yuanyi heard Concubine An mention her, she got up again to salute the queen, she behaved generously, smiled confidently but not offensive, this was her experience in the workplace in her previous life, these small pillows were also carefully designed by her, without any sense of modernity, completely in accordance with the aesthetics of the people here. She had seen Queen Jiang before, and this queen gave her the feeling that she was a favorite concubine, but Concubine An Guifei gave her the feeling of being a queen. Jiang Yuanyi thought about it hard, but she didn't remember the historical record of this Empress Jiang, she knew that she was going to wear it, so she memorized the Qin book, Jiang Yuanyi thought regretfully.

Shen Qin saw these small pillows and said to his daughter, "Ah Zhi, your sister also made you a small pillow." Shen Qin doesn't like the second room, but he doesn't have any dislike for the children in the second room, the children are innocent, and the affairs of adults should not involve the children, "Thank you, sister." โ€

"Thank you, sister." Jiang Wei obediently wanted Jiang Yuanyi to thank him.

"No thanks." Jiang Yuanyi couldn't help but touch Jiang Wei's little head.

Qi Niang? Empress Jiang raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Qiniang who was standing in front of her generously, she didn't like the second room, and she didn't pay much attention to Jiang Qiniang, her eyes swept Jiang Yuanyi, her appearance was average, and her temperament was average, how could she be cute, "It's rare for Ah An to recruit family members into the palace, so I won't disturb the reunion of your relatives, let's all step down." Empress Jiang said to Concubine An.

"Thank you for your kindness." Concubine An once again respectfully led everyone to salute the queen before leaving.

After Concubine An left, the atmosphere in the side hall was much more relaxed, Jiang Cairen brought her two children, the fifth princess is only three years old this year, the same age as Zhao Heng, and Zhao Heng can run and speak, she speaks quite fluently, but she can't walk yet, snuggled in the arms of the nursing mother, looking at everyone timidly, there is still some warped skin on her small mouth, she has just recovered from a serious illness, and she is holding a little rabbit baby tightly in her hand. The six princes are the same age as Jiang Wei, their eyebrows are delicate and resembling Jiang Cairen, and they are placed together with Jiang Wei, like two little girls, compared to Jiang Wei's liveliness, the six princes are much quieter, only looking at everyone quietly with a pair of big eyes, and their little hands are still holding Jiang Wei's clothes, obviously very curious about their own kind.

"Ah Zhi plays with Ah Di." Shen Qin coaxed his daughter and said, "Ah Zhi is so well-behaved today." Usually at this time, she ran away in the garden, and since Lin Xi accompanied her to play crazy in the garden, Shen Qin also found a few maids of the right height for her daughter.

What common language does she have with a little doll, Jiang snorted slightly and rubbed into A-Niang's arms, people are already very well-behaved! Miss Jiang resolutely refused to admit that she missed A-Niang, in ancient times, A-Niang could accompany her every day, Jiang Wei squinted her eyes happily, her mother didn't even hold herself before-Jiang Wei was sad when she thought about it, although she could already understand that her mother was busy with work.

Empress Jiang said: "Originally, I wanted to stay for a few more days, but now I can't bear to see your mother and daughter like this." "This is the so-called mother-daughter โ–กโ–ก? Empress Jiang couldn't help but think that if her daughter was still alive, it would be like this, right?

Shen Qin touched her daughter's little face, "Ah Zhi also likes Auntie's, let her stay for a few more days, the family is also busy these days." She was thinking that she and Ah Qi were going to Yangzhou soon, and Ah Ning wouldn't be able to see Ah Zhi if she wanted to see Ah Zhi in the future, so it was better to stay for a few more days.

Mrs. Wang also said: "It is the nature of children to stick to A-Niang, and when Awen leaves, she will be sticky to the person who is willing to play with her." Seeing that her daughter was so happy, she wanted Ah Shi to stay for a few more days.

"I don't like the new so much." Jiang Wei muttered in her heart, the most important thing in her heart was her father, parents and eldest brother.

Seeing that Jiang Wei ignored her, the sixth prince pursed his mouth, grabbed Jiang Weiyi and waved his hand harder, Jiang Wei turned his head and saw his big black eyes staring at him unswervingly, okay! Let's be a kindergarten aunt, Jiang Wei reached out to grab the big purse that had been placed beside her. The nurse of the sixth prince was about to step forward to help Jiang Wei untie her purse, but she was stopped by Zisu, she smiled and said, "It's okay, my lady will untie the purse." โ€

Everyone saw Jiang Wei quickly untie the purse, poured out a bunch of educational toys, piled up in front of the six princes, the six princes looked at the toys slowly for a while, and continued to stare at Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei put the simplest beads in front of the six princes, taught him to pluck the beads one by one, and the six princes will also pluck the beads after playing for a while. Seeing this, Jiang Cairen asked the three princesses to play with the two of them, Xu Jieyu gave Aunt Xu a look, and Aunt Xu sat in front of the three younger siblings with the demeanor of a big sister, and stopped the three of them once they found out that they had any dangerous moves. Empress Jiang and Madame Wang both nodded with satisfaction, this is the person they want.

Shen Qin asked Jiang Yuanyi to send Jiang Wei's puppet doll again, different from the baby rabbit of the Three Princesses, Jiang Wei is a baby lamb, and there is a pair of crooked little horns, the Three Princesses stretched out their hands to want it when they saw it, Jiang Cairen just wanted to stop it, but saw that Jiang Wei was very generous and saw that the baby lamb was also stuffed into the arms of the Three Princesses, and the Three Princesses immediately laughed and kissed Jiang Wei shyly, this is what she did to A-Niang, Jiang smiled and squinted her eyes, and also kissed her back, sure enough, it was still a little Lori cute, it was too much, it was so annoying!

Queen Jiang looked at the little hidden sac, "This little Qi Niang has a lot of tricks." โ€

"Ah Qi is indeed very smart." Even Mrs. Wang agrees with this, "I study very hard, and the children at home who are almost literate with her are still being painted by others, and she has already begun to write about it." โ€

Shen Qin also agreed: "Yes, last time I took the school exam for her, she actually started to read Mencius." โ€

Jiang Wei accompanied the child to play games, and thought that adults really like children who read well, and when I can read, I must also study seriously, so that A-Niang will also be proud of her, reading is not a chore for Jiang Wei, her grades have been very good since she was a child, only in the third year of high school she entered the rebellious period of youth, which led to a significant drop in her grades, but even so, she also relied on her grades to enter a prestigious school.

"When she was a child, she was smart, but when she grew up, she was much more mediocre, she was five years old, right? What's so great about reading Mencius? Didn't we start reading it then? "Queen Jiang is disgusted with people she doesn't like, "Look at Ah Zhi will break the gossip lock." She didn't forget to defend her niece.

Mrs. Wang said, "We didn't say that Ah Zhi is not as good as Ah Qi. โ€

Empress Jiang said: "Okay, what to do when you mention these uncomfortable things." What happened to the succession of Saburo and Goro? What about the second brother's relatives? โ€

"It's almost ready, and the family affair will be set for the day after tomorrow." Mrs. Wang said.

"That's the know-"

"Ah Shi, don't go back." Mrs. Wang touched her granddaughter's head, "She is a child, her eyes are clean, don't rush." "Mrs. Wang now mentions the death of her second son, and her heart is still like a knife, but the deceased is gone, but it is just a secret marriage, and Jiang Wei has no need to go back.

Empress Jiang nodded, "It's okay if you don't go back, I'll ask Gao Jingde and Ah Yan to help the day after tomorrow." โ€

Mrs. Wang did not refuse.

When it comes to Jiang Qian, the atmosphere in the palace is a little dull, Queen Jiang and Shen Qin are in a very bad mood, Jiang Gu is different from Jiang Rin, Jiang Rin is the eldest son, and he is much older than them, and there are not many opportunities to play with them, Jiang Changhui, Jiang Ling and Shen Qin went out to play when they were young, Jiang Guan took them out to play, that was everyone's most carefree childhood, Jiang Guan was the person appointed by the Jiang family to take over the military power, and everyone had prepared for him to die in battle, but no one thought that he could die so worthless......

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Lady Yan stepped forward with a smile and said, "Xiao Jiuniang's stay in the palace not only makes the third lady a lot happier, but even Wulang is very happy." โ€

"Oh?" Mrs. Wang knew that Lady Yan intended to adjust the atmosphere, so she also cooperated.

Lady Yan smiled and told yesterday's events, not to mention Mrs. Wang and Shen Qin, even Xie Ze had a faint smile on her face, Mrs. Wang laughed and said: "These two children are really natural enemies, last time she urinated on Wulang's body, Wulang's face was blue, and he didn't leave his sister." โ€

Shen Qin also smiled and hugged her daughter to tease her, "What should I do if Ah Zhi is bitten?" Will you bite Gorou back later? โ€

Empress Bian Jiang also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Ah Zhi will bite Gorou back and bite him all over his body." The thought of the two children rolling together and fighting made her laugh so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Jiang was slightly angry and stared at the phoenix, it's too bad! How can they bully children like this! She threw herself into Shiso's arms and ignored them again.

Everyone laughed even louder when they saw this.

Xu Jieyu and Jiang Cairen also pursed their lips and chuckled cooperatively, but they were all thinking about a question in their hearts, it seems that the queen really wants Wulang to marry Xiao Jiuniang?

Not only Xu Jieyu and Jiang Cairen thought so, but Guan Ju Palace Zhongan Guo also said to his daughter: "Do you say that the queen intends to match the prince and Jiang Jiuniang?" "Otherwise, how can you leave the daughter of a foreign minister in the palace, if you want to say that the queen likes her daughter, then why doesn't she raise the daughters of Xu Jieyu and Jiang Cairen.

Concubine An Guifei shook her head, "No, she shouldn't have this mind now." Just as Empress Jiang knows her, Concubine An Guifei is also the person who knows Jiang Changhui best, after all, the two of them have been fighting for a lifetime.

"Oh? Why? An Guo asked.

"Jiang Changhui likes a person and is willing to plan for that person, if she wants her niece to be the crown princess, she will never allow the girl of the Xu family to appear next to the prince." An Guifei said, "Even if the prince doesn't like such a maid, she won't allow anyone who responds to her niece to exist." "If she were Jiang Changhui, she would not let the prince marry the daughter of the Jiang family, the Jiang family and the prince are close enough, and it will only be a waste to marry again.

"Then she spoils Jiang Jiu so much just because she likes it? Why didn't she raise Xu Jieyu and Jiang Cairen's princess? An Guo asked puzzled.

"Then why do I like the eldest mother more than the fourth?" An Guifei asked rhetorically, the eldest lady An Guifei said was the eldest lady of the An family, and the fourth child was the fourth daughter of the emperor.

"Seeing that I was old and confused, I thought the queen really didn't care." An Guo laughed at himself.

"If she Jiang Changhui really doesn't care, she won't let go of the palace power now." If Jiang Changhui is really so high, how could Zhao Heng be born, just as Queen Jiang looks down on An Qing, she also looks down on Jiang Changhui, others say that Queen Jiang is high, if she is really high, how can she act in Zhao Min for so many years, and want to capture the old and indulge, the dignified queen has done the trick of favoring the concubine.

An Guoshi looked at the fine lines at the corners of his daughter's eyes, thinking of Jiang Changhui, who looked like before, and hugged his daughter sadly, "Aqing, you also have to pay more attention to your body, don't spoil your body anymore." "Back then, my daughter and Jiang Changhui were called Shuangshu.

"A-Niang, I know it in my heart." When An Guifei heard her mother's crying, her heart was sour, and she almost cried out with her, but years of experience in the deep palace have taught her to control her emotions, why don't she want to take care of herself, since she took the first step in front of Zhao Min, she can only follow the first step, and completely build herself into the person in Zhao Min's heart, An Guifei's mouth flashed a mocking smile, these men of the Zhao family are the same from the bones, they want a woman who can't be conquered like a wild horse, and they want a dignified and gentle wife. The only fortunate thing is that Zhao Min learned the preferences of his grandfather and father, and did not learn their ruthlessness, so that the An family had room to turn over, but it also gave the Jiang family room to turn over...... An Qing sometimes rejoiced that Zhao Min was not smart, but also disgusted with his foolishness.

An Guo and Jiang Guo are sisters, but the two have different personalities, she has a gentle and generous personality, her husband takes her children as the sky, after knowing that her husband made a big mistake and caused the family and the only son to forgive his sins, her sky almost collapsed, fortunately, there was still Empress Dowager An and Queen An in the palace at that time, and there was an aunt at home to support, otherwise she really didn't know if she could hold on, "Ah Qing, it has been three years since your second sister-in-law died, I want to marry your second brother again, do you have a fancy lady?" An Guo asked his daughter.

"What does the second brother mean?" An Guifei asked.

"I didn't ask." An Guo said.

Concubine An sighed in her heart, "A-Niang, the second brother is not your own brother, but he called you A-Niang, what is wrong with you as a mother." โ€

An Guoshi said: "I heard her say last time that she wanted the second child to marry the daughter of the Zhou family. โ€

"Who? Second brother? An Guifei raised her eyebrows and asked.

"No, it's Ah Zhouโ€”"

"Then don't ask, the second brother won't agree." An Guifei vetoed, "I will send someone to ask the second brother about this matter." โ€

"Okay." An Guoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine An Guifei held her mother's hand, "A-Niang, the second brother is now your son, he has nothing to do with the Zhou family, and the second brother will not recognize the Zhou family, you don't have to care about her." โ€

An Guo nodded, "I know, have you found Mr. the Great Prince?" Isn't Shen Gong still unwilling? โ€

An Guo and her husband gave birth to two children, an eldest son and an An Guifei, the eldest son died in battle, so she left a granddaughter. She made the decision to complete her husband's outer room outside in the name of the An clan, and passed it to her name and became her second son. An Guo's family did not make it difficult for this son who suddenly appeared like other wives, her husband died, and the An family fell into this situation, what else is there to worry about? An Jun also respects her very much, she has been serving her carefully for many years, and she is also doing her best to the An family, the An family has gradually recovered from a defeat to the present, An Jun has made great contributions, and he has an easy-going personality, treats people like a spring breeze, anyone asks him to do things, as long as he agrees, he will be able to arrange it properly, but An Guo's family is not close to An Jun, he is too much like Queen Mother An, Queen An, her family, everyone...... Even her daughter, An Guo is more in awe of such people than closer.

"No need, it's good for the second brother to teach Da Lang." An Guifei said that she didn't expect Shen Yi to teach Da Lang, but she was still very disappointed that Zhao Min agreed to Shen Yi to be the crown prince.

"That's right, your second brother is very knowledgeable, but he is too busy with business." An Guo nodded, An Jun is now in the official position, at the same level as Jiang Ke, and he is also the prime minister, which also shows Zhao Min's love for An Guifei.

"As long as you usually mention it, Da Lang and Erlang are well-behaved, and they don't need him to teach them by hand." An Guifei said.

An Guo nodded.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, then got up and went out, Princess Hengshan, the Four Princesses, and Jiang Yuanyi were playing happily outside the palace, Princess Hengshan saw Concubine An coming out, and threw herself into Concubine An's arms, "Auntie, look at the little doll made by Ah Qi, I like it!" โ€

Concubine An patted her daughter's head dotingly, "Then have you ever thanked Ah Qi?" โ€

"I've already thanked you." Princess Hengshan said.

"Have you taken Ah Qi to play in the small garden?" An Guifei asked.

"Yes, Ah Qi, you come with me to play in the small garden, I have a lot of beautiful flowers there." Hengshan took Jiang Yuanyi's hand.

"Okay." Jiang Yuanyi, Hengshan, and the Four Princesses went to the small garden together.

Concubine An Guifei looked at the Lu family with a smile, "Ah Lu, you raised Ah Qi so well-behaved. โ€

"The concubine has won the prize." Lu said respectfully.

"It's all my own family, so many courtesies, the children go to the small garden, let's go to the back garden to relax." Concubine An raised her hand and said.

The Lu family immediately took An Guifei's hand, and An Guo knew that An Guifei had something to tell Lu, so he pulled Mrs. Guo and Cui Shi to take a slow step.

"I have asked A-Niang to tell her mother to let her pass the fourth child to Jiang Zhun." Concubine An Guifei calmly led the Lu family to relax in the garden, "You can appease the third child when you go back, I don't want to hear any more jokes from him!" Concubine An's gaze seemed gentle, but in fact she stared at Lu Shi coldly, "You will also raise that stepchild well, right?" An Qing was in a very bad mood, she was very uncomfortable when she thought that she was cleaning up the aftermath for Jiang Changhui, this should obviously be Jiang Changhui's concern, but she still needed the second room of the Jiang family.

Lu Shi was shocked, "The concubine will do her best-" Before she could speak, she couldn't speak anymore when she saw Concubine An's almost mocking gaze, which seemed to see through her, making her feel embarrassed. She bit her lower lip unwillingly, sure enough, everyone was ready to give up Jiang Zhun? Lu was both happy and unwilling, if she could give birth to a son, how could she fall to such a state.

"I thought your parents didn't like you, but now that I think they really spoil you. It's a pity that you have chosen such a good family, and you can live like this. Concubine An sighed, why doesn't she have such good luck as the Lu family, for women, if they can't find a husband who is gentle and considerate, then the best husband is a man like Jiang Zhun who is easy to coax and deceive. The most annoying thing is that Zhao Min can't stand both, and such men account for the vast majority, "I'm not here to listen to perfunctory, you just need to remember for me, there is no next time, you can't be the daughter-in-law of the third child, naturally someone will!" After Concubine An gave the order, she left the Lu family and left, she was so tired of the Lu family, she had time to pretend to be pitiful, why didn't she take Jiang Zhun well.

Lu Shi stood in place, his face pale, and his body trembled slightly.

"Alu, what's wrong with you?" An Guoshi saw that Lu Shi asked with such concern, she was still very sympathetic to Lu Shi, seeing her was like seeing herself when she was young, "Is it uncomfortable?" โ€

Mrs. Guo snorted coldly: "She is in good health, I'm afraid that she is stupid and annoys the concubine." โ€

Lu Shi reluctantly smiled: "I'm fine, but it's a little cold, so the concubine asked me to go to the dormitory to get a cloak." โ€

"Then you can go quickly." An Guoshi said.

Lu nodded, and his footsteps almost drifted into the dormitory, until he heard his daughter's laughter like a silver bell, and she gradually came back to her senses, she still had her daughter to take care of.

After Jiang Yuanyi and Hengshan came back from a round of play, the Lu family had regained their previous gentle and dignified smile, and after everyone accompanied An Guifei to lunch, they left the palace, and Jiang Yuanyi stayed in the palace.

In the palace, Queen Jiang and Concubine An Gui liked the Jiang family's little Qi Niang to be gentle and well-behaved, and specially left Jiang Yuanyi to live in the palace for a few days. This is also the main purpose of the Lu family to send their daughter to the palace, Jiang Zhun can't hide this matter, not only the whole capital is watching the Jiang family's jokes, but it is also a big blow to Jiang Yuanyi's reputation, so the Jiang family will decisively send Jiang Yuanyi to the palace, and Queen Jiang made an exception to summon the An family for this reason, no one dares to chew the gossip of the queen's niece who is in charge of the wife.
