After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 212
Until Xiao Jingheng saluted the queen mother, the queen mother was still holding on to the note and did not let go.This was the first time she saw Xiao Jingheng after King Huaiyang's rebellion.

The last time she saw the young couple Xiao Jingheng and Shangguan Jing was at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet before the emperor left Beijing for autumn hunting. At that time, Xiao Jingheng was still a "fool". In fact, it was only a month's work since now.

Seeing Xiao Jingheng who spoke clearly and reacted normally, and that very organized outline note, the Empress Dowager could of course understand that Xiao Jingheng was not an idiot at all, on the contrary, this child was extremely smart.

This made the empress dowager feel a little uncomfortable being cheated, but she still tried her best to ignore these unpleasant feelings. After all, Xiao Jingheng is her only grandson at the moment, and the old lady feels that there is nothing she cannot tolerate.

However, the empress dowager's subtle expression was still captured by Xiao Mingrui.As a biological daughter, Xiao Mingrui still knows the Empress Dowager very well.She opened her mouth and said: "The queen mother pretended to be an idiot in front of you before caring about Heng'er? You don't even think about what life Heng'er lived in Wu Ge's house before."

"You knew it a long time ago?" The Empress Dowager glanced at Xiao Mingrui in surprise, and immediately felt even more uncomfortable: "Why are you still hiding it from me? Could it be that you are still afraid that the Ai family will harm your own grandson?"

"Even Heng'er, no one wanted to hide it from you," Xiao Mingrui shook his head lightly, "But if Heng'er was not careful and was discovered by Fifth Brother's former concubines, how could he live long enough?" today."

"En!" The Empress Dowager nodded: "You are a clever kid, and you managed to hide it from the Ai family for so many years."

"It's the grandson who is unfilial." Xiao Jingheng bowed to the empress dowager again, with a well-behaved and innocent appearance, just like a beautiful big white rabbit: "If you shouldn't lie to the imperial grandmother, please punish the empress dowager."

I have to say that the ghostly Xiao Jingheng is really good at reading people's hearts. He didn't say a word, he just admitted his mistake, which made the Empress Dowager feel a lot more comfortable. She sighed softly, and began to excuse Xiao Jingheng automatically. : "You child, life has always been difficult, how can the Ai family care about these things with you! The Ai family only heard about what happened a few days ago, so they hurried over to see you."

"Let the imperial grandmother worry." Xiao Jingheng immediately replied obediently: "Grandson is fine, Director Qi has already changed all the books."

Although Xiao Jingheng himself said it was fine, the empress dowager was still worried and asked him all about his basic necessities of life. There is no need to move to the Shouan Palace to trouble the Empress Dowager.

He just showed a shy look to the empress dowager at the end, and said, as if very embarrassed: "Grandmother, it's just that the grandson entered the palace in a hurry and only brought two clothes. But the grandson..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jingheng felt embarrassed and apologetic, and touched the duck egg green belt on his body: "My grandson has always felt sorry for the dead princes, so these few days..."

A playwright is a playwright, such a performance made the empress dowager shed tears immediately, feeling that Xiao Jingheng's personality remains the same no matter whether he is dumb or not, he is still that kind and kind boy.

"Qi Zhengrong, how do you serve me?" The Empress Dowager challenged Qi Zhengrong unhappily: "The Ai family didn't see at a glance that you treat the grandson of the Ai family so harshly. How long has Xiao Jiu been in the palace? How can you even change the laundry?" You don't have any clothes on?"

"Empress Dowager, please forgive me," Qi Zhengrong quickly lowered his head and replied, "Young Master's clothes are actually in the Clothing Bureau's rush, because the prince's funeral, the palace has to change into plain clothes, and the Clothing Bureau is too busy, so it has been delayed." .”

"You are also an old man in the palace, why are you so ignorant." The Empress Dowager asked with a livid face, "If Ai's family hadn't come here today, how long will you be treating Ai's grandson so harshly?"

Qi Zhengrong was scolded by the empress dowager all over his head and face. He only thought that he must not have read the almanac when he went out today. It was really unlucky. He didn't realize that Xiao Jingheng was singing for the empress dowager at all.

After being acted like this by him, all the grievances in the empress dowager's heart disappeared, and all that was left was to feel sorry for her only grandson.The empress dowager is the biggest protective umbrella in the palace other than the emperor, so far Xiao Jingheng can be regarded as temporarily clinging to her.

Xiao Jingheng herself was willing to stay in Pingkang Palace, so the Empress Dowager did not force her, but she immediately selected a group of trustworthy maids and inner eunuchs from Shou'an Palace, stuffed them in Pingkang Palace, and hurriedly asked people to open the warehouse , moved many items to Pingkang Palace, and rewarded Xiao Jingheng with a lot of gold and silver artifacts.

Xiao Jingheng's goal of getting rid of poverty has been temporarily achieved, at least he is not empty-pocketed now, and he also has money to reward the palace servants.He didn't ask for the money himself, but the empress dowager rushed to give it to him.

I'm not busy!After nightfall, Xiao Jingheng thought about the results of the day, and regretted that Shangguan Jing was not by his side, otherwise he could ask sister Jing to ask for credit and reward!well!what a pity!
So... the next goal is determined!Xiao Jingheng thought so, everything else can be done without, but sister Jing cannot be without, the next step is to find a way to bring his wife into the palace as soon as possible.

At this time, Xiao Jingheng never expected that there would be many obstacles in the matter of taking his wife into the palace.He originally thought it would not be difficult. After all, although he and Shangguanjing were young, they were an "old couple" who had been married for many years. Wherever he was, his wife should naturally be there.

However, he never expected that there would be so many people who wanted him to change his wife.

For example, the emperor.

The matter had to start one month after the Empress Dowager met Xiao Jingheng.

At that time, Shangguanjing had lived in her natal family for more than a month, and the lengthy memorial ceremony in front of the Qiyuan Hall in the palace had ended, and the coffins of the princes had been moved to the funeral palace for the time being, waiting for the burial after the Hundred Days Ceremony.

At this time, although the court officials and wives still had to wear plain clothes for a few more months, everything in Beijing seemed to have gradually returned to the original order.It was approaching winter. Originally, at this time of year, noble families were busy holding winter banquets. This year, because of the prince's funeral, all banquets and entertainments in Beijing were cancelled, so the whole capital seemed deserted and depressed.

The case of King Huaiyang's rebellion started at this time.Those scribes, counselors, and courtiers detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice began to be interrogated in batches, and the maids and female family members of the Huaiyang Palace who were originally imprisoned on the spot were also taken to the Shidian Prison one after another.

Many of Huaiyang King's wives and concubines were of noble birth, and most of the honorable families were related. Therefore, since the trial began, everyone in the court was in danger, for fear of being implicated.
