Jiang Shishi: "Shh......h

"Then why did the prince spoil you so much and promoted you to Liangdi?" Jiang Gaoda still didn't believe it, he coughed slightly embarrassed, "Let me ask you, has the prince ever pampered you?" ”

"No, he didn't touch me at all." Jiang Shishi followed Jiang Gaoda's words, "So, in this situation in the East Palace, can I still let my sister enter the East Palace?" Didn't that hurt her and push her into the fire pit? ”

Jiang Gaoda: "In that case, you can talk to Feng. ”

"I told Aunt Feng, didn't Aunt Feng tell you?" Jiang Shishi sighed, "I didn't help my sister, Aunt Feng must be angry with me, so she didn't tell her father." ”

"Besides, my position is low, my health is not good, and people in the East Palace are soft-spoken, how can I make the decision to let my sister enter the palace, alas, in the end, it's useless to blame me......"

Seeing the eldest daughter sighing, Jiang Gaoda couldn't blame anymore, but asked: "I heard Feng Shi say that you were seriously ill last year, what's going on?" ”

Jiang Shishi told Jiang Gaoda about the original owner's illness last year, Jiang Gaoda heard that her eldest daughter almost died last year, and she was still a little distressed, and told her to take care of her body in the palace.

After the father and daughter chatted for a while, Jiang Shishi followed the prince and left the Jiang family.

Aunt Feng hurriedly asked Jiang Gaoda to help him to the room to rest.

While feeding Jiang Gaoda the sobering soup, she asked gently: "Master, how did you talk to Sister Shi'er, is she willing to let Sister Rou'er enter the East Palace?" ”

"I'm telling you, don't talk about it again!" Jiang Gaoda's attitude was resolute.

Feng Shi was slightly stunned, "Master, didn't we say it well before, why did you suddenly change your mind?" ”

Jiang Gaoda: "Sister Shi'er is also a pitiful, she was seriously ill last year, and she was closed from the ghost gate, and it was not easy for her in the East Palace, we can't help her, but don't involve her." ”

"Besides, you knew that she didn't let Sister Rou'er enter the palace because of the prince's rumors, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Master, what is this... I can't understand what you're saying, sir, are you drunk? Feng Shi was confused.

"Anyway, you just need to remember one thing, don't let Sister Rou enter the East Palace again!" Jiang Gaoda lay down dizzily and snored after a while.

Feng glanced at the man on the bed unhappily and went out impatiently.

It must have been Jiang Shishi who said something to the master, and the master temporarily changed his mind.

This Jiang Shishi, after entering the palace, is much more able to endure than when she was not out of the cabinet.

In the past, the master was oriented towards her, but now it is the first time to face Jiang Shishi!

As soon as Feng Shi left the room, Jiang Huairou came.

Jiang Huairou stepped forward and grabbed Feng's elbow and asked expectantly, "Mother, has the eldest sister agreed to take me into the East Palace?" ”

Feng took his daughter to wander around the house, "Alas, don't mention it, not only did she not agree to take you into the palace, but she also persuaded your father, and your father also shouted that we would die of this heart, not to mention the matter of letting you enter the East Palace." ”

"Huh? Why? Jiang Huairou pouted unhappily.

"Who knows what Jiang Shishi said to your father." Feng Shi thought for a while and said, "By the way, your father said that Jiang Shishi didn't let you enter the East Palace because of the prince's rumors......"

Speaking of which, the mother and daughter glanced at each other and probably understood.

Jiang Huairou has also heard about the rumors about the prince.

She leaned into Feng's ear and whispered: "It is rumored in Beijing that the prince has the good of Longyang, or there is a hidden disease, so there has been no heir in the East Palace, these... Is it true? ”

"I guess so, otherwise those adult princes younger than him would have become fathers, and the only prince has no children and no daughters, so to speak... Then you really can't enter the East Palace, otherwise wouldn't you have to be a widow? Feng changed his mind.

Jiang Huairou thought of the prince's gentle and handsome appearance, as well as the nobility of his body, he still felt a little unwilling, "Even if he is widowed, I don't dislike him." ”

Feng whispered in a low voice: "You are stupid, you are still young, you don't know what it means to be a widow, besides, if the crown prince does not have an heir, the throne will definitely change hands in the future!" ”

Jiang Huairou: "What, can the position of the prince change hands?" ”

Feng: "Throughout the ages, have you seen how many princes ascend the throne?" ”

Hearing that the crown prince can't give birth to an heir, he can't be the emperor, Jiang Huairou also hesitated.

Feng Shi on the side was still persuading, "Good girl, with your posture and appearance, are you still worried that you can't find a good place to return in Beijing?" Since we have come to the capital, we have to take this opportunity to choose a good marriage for you. ”

"There are many adult princes in the royal family, and there is not only one prince, but there are many princes who don't even have wives and concubines."

Jiang Huairou: "My daughter heard... The seventh prince and the eleventh prince have no wives and concubines. ”

"The eleventh master is a sick man, I can't see it." Feng Shi was not very satisfied, "It's not bad for the Seventh Prince, but I heard that he patronizes to make money and doesn't care much about the affairs of the court, anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, let's pick ...... slowly"

"Mother, anyway, I can't marry that kind of ordinary eunuch family, and if my daughter wants to marry, she has to marry the prince and minister!" Only in this way can she compare to Jiang Shishi!

**

At the same time, Jiang Shishi and the crown prince had already taken a carriage to the palace.

In the carriage, Jiang Shishi said politely: "Your Highness, thank you." ”

Pei Xuanling squinted at the woman, "Thank me for what?" ”

"Thank you for letting me go home to see my family, and thank you for accompanying me back to Jiang's house."

"If you really want to thank Gu, accompany Gu to attend the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days."

"No problem!" Jiang Shishi replied very simply.

Pei Xuanling: "You don't even think about it?" ”

"His Royal Highness asked the concubine to accompany him, but the concubine didn't dare not accompany him." Jiang Shishi is in a good mood today, "Besides, we are friends, and friends should exchange courtesies." ”

Friend?

"......" Pei Xuanling looked out the window and stopped talking.

The carriage passed through the streets and alleys of the capital, passing by the shoe shop again.

It's summer, and the shoe shop is still doing brisk business, with a long queue of customers at the door.

The shoes at the door of the shoe shop were the same as the square-toed shoes he wore on the soles of his feet.

And the shoes on the soles of his feet were made by the manufacturing office according to the drawings drawn by Jiang Meiren.

Last time, he asked Huang Dechang to check the manufacturing office, and there was no problem at all with the manufacturing office.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, but now that Jiang Meiren was selling rouge in private, he had to think about it a little more.

It seems that he has to ask Huang Dechang to check the relationship between Jiang Liangdi and this shoe shop.

Jiang Shishi didn't know what the prince was thinking, but leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes in contemplation.

According to the plot in the book, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, someone took advantage of this grand banquet to make trouble and frame the prince.

As a result, the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday Festival not only could not go smoothly, but there was also an unpleasant quarrel between the Queen Mother and Emperor Jianyuan.

Emperor Jianyuan is not good at messing with the queen mother, but is angry with the prince who is in charge of this birthday!

As soon as she thought of this, Jiang Shishi had to think about spoilers for the prince to avoid trouble.

After a long time, Jiang Shishi slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Your Highness, do you need to prepare gifts for the concubine to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?" ”

"If you have a suitable gift, keep it, if not, Lone will have someone prepare it for you."

"That's not necessary, the concubine has already thought about what gift she wants to give to the Queen Mother."

Pei Xuanling raised his eyebrows, "What are you going to send the Queen Mother?" ”

Jiang Shishi: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

Seeing that the woman actually sold Guanzi, Pei Xuanling didn't ask much.

She is still relieved when she does things.

In the following days, Pei Xuanling and the Ministry of Rites were busy preparing for the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday Festival.

In fact, the Ministry of Rites is in accordance with the rules of the Queen Mother in previous years.

The main thing is that Emperor Jianyuan is filial to the Queen Mother, and there are many requirements, and the Ministry of Rites has to handle it in accordance with the requirements of Emperor Jianyuan.

The Queen Mother is sixty-nine this year, and the Eastern Liang Kingdom pays attention to nine but not ten.

When it comes to the actual tenth birthday, it will not be done in a big way.

Because the number ten is too full, it overflows, and if it overflows, it loses, and the number nine is an auspicious number.

On the birthday of the Queen Mother, in order to organize this luxurious and grand Holy Birthday Festival, hundreds of imperial chefs were busy early.

Since ancient times, the Queen Mother loved the Buddha, and the Queen Mother of the Eastern Liang Kingdom was no exception.

Soon after the emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother did not ask about the harem, and kept eating fasting and reciting Buddha in the Buddhist hall.

At first, the Queen Mother was in the Buddhist hall in the palace, and later moved to the Buddhist hall outside the palace.

The Queen Mother's Holy Birthday was held in the palace, and she had to take a carriage back to the palace from the Buddhist hall outside the palace.

On the way from the Buddha Hall to the Imperial Palace, Emperor Jianyuan arranged for the princes and nobles and civil and military officials to greet him.

Even, Emperor Jianyuan himself and the queen also took a carriage in front of them to open the way for the queen mother.

Moreover, Emperor Jianyuan arranged operas from all over the Eastern Liang Kingdom.

Those who sang opera sang from the Buddhist hall outside the palace to the palace.

For more than ten miles, a stage will be built every 100 steps.

The whole capital is noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers and bamboos are ringing in unison, lanterns are colorful, and people are crowded......

The banquet was held in the Bohol Palace, and after the arrival of the princes and ministers, they were seated in specific seats according to their official positions.

Jiang Shishi followed the prince into the Baohe Palace, Pei Xuanling turned his head and saw that the gift prepared for the queen mother in the woman's hand was gone.

Pei Xuanling's footsteps paused slightly, "What about the gift you prepared for the Queen Mother?" ”

"Isn't there a minister at the door who registers the gift, and the palace maid and eunuch who receives the gift, and the concubine is handed over to them."

Pei Xuanling: "......" He just exchanged a few words with a few officials, but he didn't expect Jiang Liangdi to do the wrong thing.

"Those who register gifts at the door are mostly sitting outside the hall and can't give gifts to the Queen Mother in person." Pei Xuanling turned around and walked out, "A concubine of the East Palace who entered the palace with a lonely person like you, like other princes and concubines, wants to give gifts to the Queen Mother with her own hands." ”

Seeing the prince walking out, Jiang Shishi followed, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"I'm going to help you get the gift back." With Jiang Liangdi's identity, those who registered probably won't take her seriously.

"......" Jiang Shishi had no choice but to follow behind the prince.

This Holy Birthday Day, Pei Xuanling was in charge.

The minister who registered the gift was none other than Fan Songkang of the Ministry of Rites.

Knowing that the prince wanted to help Xue Liangdi find the gift, Fan Songkang found the gift list and personally led the way in front.

Not only did the princes and ministers send gifts to the Queen Mother, but the allies and vassal kings also sent congratulatory gifts.

Therefore, those gifts were piled up in a corner of the temple.

According to the booklet, Fan Songkang quickly found Jiang Shishi's gift.

Retrieving the gift, the three of them walked back.

Jiang Shishi saw that there were many delicate cages in the gift pile, and there were crickets, cranes, and parrots in the cages, so she casually asked, "Are these animals also gifts from them to the Queen Mother?" ”

Fan Songkang: "Well, they were all given to the Queen Mother by the princes and nobles, and the golden parrot was a congratulatory gift from the Emperor to the Queen Mother." ”

The emperor has been giving the Queen Mother a ninety-ninth birthday gift for six days in a row, and this parrot is the finale gift today.

Jiang Shishi: "Since it is a gift from the emperor to the queen mother, shouldn't it be placed in the palace?" ”

Fan Songkang: "Having said that, this parrot can speak, if it speaks in the hall early, there will be no surprise, so it is placed outside the hall." ”

Jiang Shishi nodded suddenly in realization, "I see." ”

Since the parrot is a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, it has naturally received this kind of training and will say some festive words about the Queen Mother.

Now that Jiang Shishi happened to mention the Queen Mother, it is estimated that the parrot heard it and actually began to speak.

I thought that this parrot would say auspicious words, but I never thought that it would actually say a series of rebellious words, which frightened Jiang Shishi, the prince, and Fan Songkang!
