Xia Changsong saw his devastated look. It was obvious that the news was a big shock. After all, he had watched him grow up, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable. Xia Changsong then patted his shoulder and said, "There is a time in life, but there is no time in life."

Don’t force it, Guangzu, just give up.”

Cheng Yao hates people mentioning the word fate the most, but the other person is Xia Changsong. He can't get angry and can only force a smile, "It doesn't matter, as long as Tongmei lives well, I will feel at ease."

The Xia family still has value for him, so he can't break up with him just yet, as that will only lead to greater losses.

I thought that my close friend would continue to comfort me, but Xia Changsong was actually a big-hearted person, so he said happily: "Of course it's best if you think about it."

After that, I went home and went to find my parents.

Cheng Yao:......

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to intervene, but the other party walked too fast, which made his plan come to nothing.

In fact, he also knew that no matter how close he was to the Xia family, if it really came to matters in the palace, the Xia family would definitely not let his cousin interfere - their family was just waiting for their empress to get promoted and make a fortune.

, how are you willing to let outsiders get the benefits?

However, seeing the Xia family being so prosperous, Cheng Yao couldn't help but feel that Xia Tong had let him down, and he had to give her some obstacles to avoid being a villain.

However, one inside the palace and one outside the palace were beyond reach. Cheng Yao thought that the emperor's secret correspondence with the Xia family must have been hidden for a period of time, and he would make it public after three months of fetal growth stabilization. If he had rashly publicized it,

Wouldn't it be known immediately that he had done it? He was afraid of making the emperor dissatisfied. He liked Xia Tong, but he didn't want to ruin his career.

Still have to think of a roundabout way.

Who doesn’t want Mr. Xia Tong to be the eldest son of the emperor? Cheng Yao thought about it and went directly to Prime Minister Jiang’s home.

Jiang Wenju and Feng Zaishan were both prime ministers, and they seemed to respect each other. However, the Jiang family was the emperor's uncle's family, and there was another noble concubine, Zhaoyi. Regardless of the power in the court or the family background, they all had the Jiang surname.

Even better.

Such people are naturally more ambitious.

When Cheng Yao came to visit, Jiang Wenju was not there, and Mrs. Jiang came out to greet him. Although she was a woman, she was very sensitive to affairs in the court. She also knew that her husband had recently intended to win over this young talent, so she was very polite to him. Then

Nowadays, people in the Ministry of Works are vying for praise for their work in flood control. Jiang Wenju cherishes talents and naturally does not want to miss them.

Mrs. Jiang ordered someone to serve the best tea, and then said with a smile: "Cheng Bangyan is always busy with things, how come you have time to come to the humble house?"

He was not called a program editor but ranked second because he naturally felt that he had a promising future and would not settle for a position in the Hanlin Academy.

Cheng Yao didn't waste any words and said with a smile: "My nephew is here specifically to congratulate you, Madam."

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but be startled. Could it be that her husband was going to be promoted? He was already the left prime minister. How could he be promoted? He couldn't seek to usurp the throne.

She tried: "What do you mean..."

Cheng Yao cupped his fists and gave a salute, "My nephew also accidentally heard that a nobleman in the palace got a dragon fetus, and the Holy Emperor Longyan was very happy. After thinking about it, besides the noble concubine and Empress Zhaoyi, who else would have such a blessing? So I came here specially.

congratulate."

Because he asked someone to offer him a fine wild ginseng.

After saying that, he left alone without staying for another cup of tea - he knew very well that only three points of his words were revealed. If he revealed a little bit of suspicion, the Chiang family would investigate, and he could also brush it off.

.

Mrs. Jiang was really surprised and happy that day. What she was happy about was that the daughter who was sent to the palace was pregnant, and her heart was shattered. What surprised her was that she didn't know who, if Yingyue had taken the advantage - Mrs. Jiang

I have always disliked her mother, so I naturally don't want this bitch to get on top of my daughter.

When her husband came back, Mrs. Jiang informed him of the matter eagerly.

Jiang Wenju was confused, "Who said that? Cheng Yao, how did he know?"

Mrs. Jiang was so overwhelmed with joy that she didn't care about the source of the news. "He works in the Hanlin Academy, so he naturally has his connections. I think this matter can't be wrong. Master, we should make plans."

Please keep your mother-in-law safe, find your mother-in-law, these are all things!

Jiang Wenju was more cautious after all, "Don't be busy now. Tomorrow you and the second family will go to the palace to find out what's going on, and don't make a joke."

Jiang Wenju still knew his daughter's temperament very well. She was really pregnant with a dragon fetus and wished she could go out and scream on the street. How could she be bored? It was not like her behavior at all.

Mrs. Jiang felt that her husband didn't care about her daughter, "Okay, who doesn't know that you love Yingyue more than Lan'er? If she was pregnant, I think you would have sent out wedding invitations long ago."

Jiang Wenju coughed twice and said, "I don't know if it's true or not. I'm ashamed of you because you have a shaved head and a hot head. No matter who gives birth to an heir, they are still my daughters. Am I going to treat them badly?"

He also told his wife, "When you enter the palace tomorrow, the door-to-door ceremony must not be as short as Yingyue's. I know you don't like her origin, but that person has passed away, and now you are her mother. You have to do both emotionally and rationally."

Level the bowl of water, otherwise, others will say that you, the wife of the prime minister, are unbecoming."

Mrs. Jiang curled her lips, knowing that these high-sounding words were just excuses, and that her husband was just thinking about that bitch, so he moved on to her daughter, but she had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

She was secretly thinking that if Jiang Yingyue had a child, she would definitely bring it up under Bilan's lap, otherwise, the position of the queen would be in doubt in the future.

The next day, the two wives of the Jiang family got up early and went straight to the palace. Although it was not the New Year's Day and it was inappropriate to enter the palace hastily, but with the relationship of the Empress Dowager Chiang, there was no harm in being a little accommodating.

Jiang Bilan had just stood up and was stunned for a moment when she saw her mother, "Why are you here?"

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but get angry when she saw her repainting her eyebrows and dressing up with red lips and white teeth, "How dare you put on makeup and makeup at this time?"

Jiang Bilan:……

Who is bothering her by wearing makeup?

Mrs. Jiang pulled her aside and asked for a basin of water. She forced her to take off her exquisite makeup without any mercy. Finally, she pressed her daughter's belly and said, "How many months?"

Already?"

Only then did Jiang Bilan understand that her mother thought she was pregnant, and she couldn't help but laugh and cry, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you be so anxious about this if you don't even mention it?"

As for her not sleeping with her since she entered the palace, Jiang Bilan was certainly ashamed to mention this.

Mrs. Jiang was startled. She wasn't her daughter. Could it be that bitch? She immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "Is Yingyue pregnant?"

Her mother has always disliked concubines, and Jiang Bilan knew that, but she couldn't just spread rumors just because she caught them.

She shook her head and affirmed: "She didn't either."

There will always be records in the history of whether the attendants or the bed attendants were there. Jiang Bilan did not believe that the people in the Jingshi Room dared to do anything under her nose.

Mrs. Jiang was really confused now, "It's not you or Yingyue, who else could it be?"

Jiang Bilan's beauty sleep was interrupted, and her heart was filled with anger. "Who spread the rumors and made you come here like this?"

Those who didn’t know better thought it was for a funeral, in the middle of summer.

Mrs. Jiang didn't have the nerve to say that she had been fooled by a young junior, so she could only say: "When we were still playing dominoes, I heard what they said, saying that there was a favored empress in the palace, and now she is pregnant with a dragon fetus.

, rushing to congratulate your mother!"

"Don't listen to those gossipy bitches, Hu Yan. How could I hide it from my family?" Jiang Bilan said disdainfully, "Besides, the one who is favored now is Guan Jugong. If she does, I'm afraid that the Xia family will

It’s time to raise your tail to the sky.”

Mrs. Jiang keenly captured the key point, "Who lives in Guanju Palace?"

"Isn't she the one from the Xia family," Jiang Bilan said, "among those who entered the palace together, she is the only one who has ever received the title of Jin. Although she is just a beauty, it shows how much your Majesty loves her."

Mrs. Jiang heard this and secretly had some thoughts in her heart.

Xia Tong took a nap in the afternoon and heard Chang Qing say that he had received a meeting gift from the Jiang family.

She couldn't help but wonder, "What gift did she give me?"

The Xia family and the Jiang family don't have much of a relationship. The Jiang family has been prosperous since the late emperor's reign, and now it has been prosperous for a long time, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But they were trying to sell well, so Xia Tong couldn't help but express his feelings and told Chunlan: "Please come and sit with Mrs. Jiang."

When Mrs. Jiang saw the people from Guanju Palace coming to greet her, she couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on her lips. The little goblin was still young, so she didn't dare to miss her. Mrs. Jiang came all the way from the palace to fight with her aunt, and she couldn't help but smile.

She is not afraid of these charming things, but it is a pity that the daughter she gave birth to is useless and has not inherited her skills at all. Mrs. Jiang must clear the obstacles for her daughter.

Naturally, she managed to enter Guanju Palace to find out whether Xia Mei was really pregnant. According to Bilan, she was the one who stayed in Tong's bed these days. If what Cheng Yao said was true, then there would be no one except this one.

Someone else.

When Mrs. Jiang arrived in a hurry, Xia Tong had not had time to clean up, so she hurried out wearing only a single coat, with dark clouds scattered over her head, and she did not do her bun.

In Mrs. Jiang's eyes, she was just a disheveled and charming concubine. She was no different from her imagination, but it made her feel a little reassured - this kind of woman is said to be careless. If she wants to fight for the throne, she should

Try your best to show your virtue.

It can be seen that I also know that I am just a toy.

Mrs. Jiang then said calmly: "I heard that the beauty serves your majesty day and night and takes care of your concubine's worries a lot. I feel uneasy, so I came here to express my gratitude."

Xia Tong thought to herself that this person was a bit of a thief. She didn't mean to say that she was charming and seduced the Lord, but every word of her meant that.

If it were Empress Dowager Jiang or any other concubine in front of her, Xia Tong might have tried her best to show that she had no other intention of serving her diligently, but now it was Mrs. Chiang... To be honest, what position did she have to question herself?

? She is just the wife of a courtier. Her daughter cannot be favored. Should she be required to send the emperor to Jiang Bilan's bed?

Xia Tong was too lazy to explain, so he just smiled but remained silent.

Mrs. Jiang felt that this woman was really superficial and arrogant.

Although it is annoying, she is much more at ease than those who are scheming. Mrs. Jiang pretended to drink tea and peeked around. She saw a picture of Begonia sleeping in spring hanging on the wall, and unknown spices were burning in the room.

People are drowsy.

Looking at the woman opposite, Mrs. Jiang's keen eyes found some mottled purple marks on her neck, and her imagination immediately took off - although Prime Minister Jiang did not come to her room now, Mrs. Jiang had gone through personnel matters after all.
To be continued...
