Yi Xue hurriedly turned around and helped the old man up, whimpering and shouting:

"Come up, Father-in-law Jiang, it's Yi Xue."

The old woman also wanted to kneel, but was held up by the snow.

The old woman gently wiped the tears from her face, looked at the face of the snow, she herself was already in tears, and murmured:

"God has eyes, God has eyes!"

The three of them hugged and cried.

These two are the palace people invited by Sima Jing, they are Ning Ying, the personal maid of Concubine Tao Luoyang, and Jiang Shangyi, the father-in-law in charge of the palace.

After the death of Tao Guifei, the palace people who served followed the tree and scattered, and were arranged to work as errands in various parts of the palace.

But Concubine Tao died of fire and committed a taboo in the palace, and Ning Ying and Jiang Shangyi, the two palace people, became the most unpopular people in the palace.

Ning Ying was sent to the palace of the Empress Dowager as a junior slave, and was often sent by a middle-class palace maid younger than her. And Jiang Yishang was sent to Shang's sleep to take care of the fire fold (candle flame) at night, which was all drudgery.

Sima Jing, who was sitting on the side, coughed lightly, and Yi Xue's thoughts suddenly woke up from the joy of reunion. She hurriedly let go of Ning Ying and Jiang Shangyi's hands, tidied up her appearance, and found Sima Jing to sit down on the right side.

Their arrival means that the comfortable life ends here.

Sima Jing spoke first: "Princess, these two must be known to you, before you entered the house, I have told them the ins and outs of the matter, I don't know much about the situation in the inner palace, and I don't know how much Sima Lie has been involved in, so His Royal Highness must enter the palace unscathed, there must be someone in the palace who can respond, Gonggong Jiang has always been the father-in-law in charge of your mother's palace, and Aunt Ning is the personal maid that your mother brought into the palace from the Tao Mansion, I think they are naturally the best candidates." ”

After listening to Sima Jing's words, Yi Xue nodded, while the expressions of Jiang Yishang and Ning Ying on the other side became serious.

Ning Ying looked at Yi Xue, wiped away her tears, and said: "The slave maid once thought that the farewell in the palace seven years ago was forever, and I was fortunate to be able to see the princess in this life, and my old body can still be used by the princess, I am really very lucky, and I will not be ashamed when I see the mother underground in the future." ”

Jiang Shangyi couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard Ning Ying mention the death of Concubine Tao, he knelt down to Yi Xue again, and said: "The old slave is sorry for the princess and His Royal Highness Ji, the old slave failed to stop it on the day Niangniang set the fire and saved Niangniang, the old slave asked the princess for the crime, and the old slave deserved to die." ”

He bowed down to Yi Xue and said, "In the future, the old slave will do his best to protect the princess, and he is willing to go to the soup and fire." ”

Yi Xue hurriedly stepped forward, helped Jiang Shangyi up, and said, "The death of the mother concubine is not the fault of Gonggong Jiang, she is for me and Ah Ji, please stop blaming yourself for Gonggong Jiang." ”

When it came to the death of Tao Guifei, not only Ji Xue, but also the air in the whole room seemed to ooze a trace of sadness.

"Gonggong Jiang and Aunt Ning, it's time to change your name to 'His Royal Highness Ji'." Shen Xing respectfully mentioned, Jiang Shangyi and Ning Ying both subconsciously put their hands on their mouths, and then nodded hurriedly, Shen Xing continued:

"Next, we have to find a way to make His Highness's integrity appear in front of the world, only in this way will Sima Lie not dare to blatantly hurt His Highness, which can be regarded as an extra layer of protection. The two of you often live in the deep palace, and you must know more about the situation in the palace than me and the prince, so today I came to discuss with you whether there is such an opportunity, the sooner the better. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the whole room became solemn, and the candlelight flickered.

Everyone fell into deep thought, and after a while, Ning Ying broke the silence and said:

"Now, the Queen Mother is concentrating on cultivating Buddhism, and every year on July 15, Obon Festival, she will go out of the palace to the White Horse Temple to worship her ancestors, and this year is no exception, I don't know if this is possible to become the princess that Lord Shen said, no, the opportunity for His Royal Highness?"

When Shen Xing heard this, his eyes lit up, and he held his cheek with one hand, thinking about it for a long time.

Sima Jing frowned lightly, glanced at Shen Xing and said: "I don't know if Shen Xing, you know, the White Horse Temple can become a royal Buddhist temple, in addition to the continuation of the past dynasties, it is the Buddha appeared on the occasion of the founding of the Great Henan Dynasty, it is said that the holy light was shining at that time, and a semi-arc sun halo hung in the air, colorful and magnificent. ”

Shen Xing immediately bowed his hand to Sima Jing and said, "Back to the prince, my subordinates know, and this Buddha's manifestation is extremely rare, mostly by word of mouth, but very few people have really seen it." The Buddha was born to purify sentient beings, and when he appeared was to save sentient beings in danger, and now he can save Dayu is His Royal Highness Ji. ”

Shen Xing turned his head to Yi Xue as he spoke, and Sima Jing also raised his head and looked at Yi Xue with a solemn face. Yi Xue suddenly became a little nervous.

Shen Xing continued: "As long as we calculate the right time, we can take advantage of the right time and place to let His Royal Highness Ji Mu Buddha's light appear." ”

Sima Jing agreed, saying, "This plan is feasible. ”

After Jiang Shangyi and Ning Ying listened, they looked at each other and nodded, their faces were filled with indescribable excitement, and their eyes lit up.

Yi Xue has also heard a little about the White Horse Temple, and knows that it is a holy place, and when his father was on the throne, he built Buddhism throughout the country, and I believe that there should be no more convincing way for the people of the country than this.

"Your Royal Highness, do you know that the Empress Dowager is now the Xun family."

Ning Ying's words reminded Yi Xue that when she was a child, Yi Xue and Sima Ji had crossed paths with the Xun family many times.

"Your Highness is familiar with the Xun family?" Shen Xing saw that Ning Ying could advance in advance, so he asked.

Yi Xue nodded, the first person she wanted to see after becoming Sima Ji was the Empress Dowager Xun, who was familiar with their sister and brother, and the Empress Dowager Xun had been friendly with her mother and concubine in the past, and she was also very kind to herself and her younger brother.

"Then Your Highness needs to be more careful." Shen Xing said.

Yi Xue also understands that she needs to work more on the details, but this is not a good thing, at least the people who have been close to her, and Yi Xue feels a lot more relaxed when she thinks about it.

After a while, Ning Ying asked, "How should His Highness enter the White Horse Temple?" The Queen Mother went out of the palace to worship her ancestors, and the White Horse Temple was heavily guarded, so it was not easy to get in at that time. ”

Ning Ying's question made the somewhat relaxed atmosphere tense again.

Jiang Shangyi, who was sitting on the side, also thought of this, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said:

"Returning to Lord Shen, there are not enough people in the palace now, so in order to maintain the specifications of the royal ancestor worship, Shang Yi, who is in charge of the etiquette system, seems to have ordered a batch of things to be used that day in a workshop among the people, but this is what the old slave unintentionally heard from the pawn, so what exactly this thing is, and which workshop it comes from, the old slave is not very clear. Maybe the palace will also send someone to help, or let His Highness disguise himself as a little eunuch and sneak in? However, this matter should be under Cao Bairen's control, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ......."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Shangyi's expression also fell, as if he felt very guilty because he couldn't help.

Jiang Shangyi was loyal and kind-hearted, but he was a little timid, otherwise he would have rushed into the fire to save Peach Guifei.

Jiang Shangyi was silent, and the room fell silent again.
