657 Dinner
"The Empress Dowager kept Miss Zhang for lunch in Shoukang Palace?" Concubine Jing was quite surprised.
The palace maid replied: "It is precisely because of this that someone sent me the message again, saying that the Empress does not have to wait."
Originally, Concubine Jing intended to keep Zhang Meishou for dinner in Changli Palace, and had already informed him of the imperial kitchen.
Concubine Jing came back to her senses from the accident and couldn't help but smile.
"I understand, you can go down."
The Empress Dowager summoned Miss Zhang for the first time and left him to eat in Shoukang Palace. It can be seen that Miss Zhang is extremely favored by the Empress Dowager.
Mrs. Jiang was also a little surprised.
Just looking at the girl in the Zhang family who looked so proud of her words and was not as good as a monk at all, she thought it would be nice if the other party didn't bother the empress dowager, but why was she left to eat by the empress dowager?
Jiang Lingyi grabbed his fingers slightly, and his chest was churning uncontrollably.
She has been back in the capital for so long, and it is difficult to walk.
She tried her best to leave her face and flatter her noble women, just to change her situation.
But it has little effect.
But Zhang Meishou seemed to have nothing to do and get everything for nothing.
Even though she didn't want to admit it, she knew that many noble girls in the capital were trying to make friends with Zhang Meishou now, but Zhang Meishou always treated it calmly and even ignored it. He did everything based on his preferences!
And the prince.
The prince, whose position as a crown prince, is almost regarded by the people as a god, is extremely stable, by the crown prince.
Protect her everywhere!
Now even the Empress Dowager treats her so differently...
Thinking of his recent situation, Jiang Lingyi felt sore and tingling in her heart, and her tightly clenched fingernails almost pierced the palms.
It was not until she followed her mother to leave Changli Palace and the cold wind blew in her face in the middle of winter that her mood calmed down for a while.
But Mrs. Jiang's mood was very bad.
How could she not see Concubine Jing’s indifference today?
Although it is far from the point of tearing apart, the attitude of standing by and watching is no secret.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have even let the Sixth Prince meet her.
It's really a blessing to say that her sister and the sixth prince were originally attached to Ning's family to gain a foothold in this palace.
But after the murder of the Sixth Prince, it was cleanly picked out, and in this matter, there was a faint sense of support between him and the prince... and he had the great luck of putting it to death and then resurrecting it.
However, after such luck, it would be fine if I didn’t want to help my mother’s family, but instead kept twisting my elbows out!
The Jiang family's wife was anxious and uneasy, and she was extremely depressed and anxious, but she was in the palace and could not express her feelings.
The mother and daughter were led by the palace people all the way. Halfway through the journey, a little eunuch who was coming and hanging his head was approaching and gently hit Jiang Lingyi.
Jiang Lingyi frowned.
The little eunuch never stopped and left without looking back.
"Which palace is from, I don't look at the road... It's really unruly." The eunuch who led the way whispered, but didn't care too much.
The group continued to walk forward, but Jiang Lingyi deliberately slowed down a few steps.
She quietly unfolded the ball of notes in her hand and glanced at them quickly.
After roughly seeing what was written on the note, a faint smile appeared in my eyes.
There seemed to be a little lust in the smile, but there was more contempt and disdain.
This fourth prince is really a big heart.
Such a big thing happened in the palace. He seemed to have no fate with that location, but he still wanted to see her privately and invite her to have tea outside the palace the next day.
He really has no ambitions and has no intention of planning.
No wonder he was disliked by Ning since childhood... It was really a waste, and even half of it could not be compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
And he is a lucky fool.
Jiang Lingyi thought contemptuously, so he held the small piece of paper tightly in his palm and left the palace.
After she got into the carriage, Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter and asked, "What is the eunuch who just now secretly sent you?"
Jiang Lingyi was shocked in her heart.
Did my mother... actually see it?
Seeing that she didn't answer for a while, Mrs. Jiang did not continue to ask questions.
He only explained: "The nobles do things based on their mood and do nothing to worry about you as their daughter's family, but you need to pay more attention to your attitude."
It’s not that she doesn’t know anything, she just doesn’t need to deliberately stop it, and she won’t interfere too much.
Jiang Lingyi suppressed the accident and floating in her heart and lowered her head and said, "Daughter knows..."
...
In Changli Palace, after the Jiang family's mother and daughter left, Concubine Jing went to the sixth prince.
The sixth prince just woke up and said with some regret: "Mother, I heard that Miss Zhang was invited by the emperor's grandmother... Have I slept for too long?"
He clearly told himself that he would only sleep for a while, but for some reason his body was not obedient today.
"It's not bad. I'll just invite Miss Zhang to come another day." Concubine Jing sat beside the bed, with a very gentle smile in her eyes, and raised her hand to touch her son's head.
The Sixth Prince became more and more embarrassed by being watched like this.
He had never been so close to his mother in the past, and now he is still a little accustomed to it.
But... he was really happy.
"Mother, I just heard from the palace people that my aunt has come too, but she has left at this time?"
Concubine Jing nodded and looked at the child in front of her, and became more determined to her thoughts.
When she went to beg for her brother and elder sister that day, she was much more sincere than her elder sister today.
The elder sister couldn't help, and she didn't even dare to keep her for a while and didn't even send her out of the house.
It may be human nature to seek profit and avoid harm.
But now the elder sister wants her to come forward to solve the problem, and have you ever thought it would cause her trouble? Since they all know how to weigh the pros and cons, now she should be more cautious and wise.
"Mother should ask someone to wake me up." The sixth prince smiled embarrassedly.
Concubine Jing said softly: "It's okay, it's the most important thing to have a good body now."
There is no need to meet those who only have interests and demands in their eyes.
There will be no too many interactions in the future.
...
In the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager was standing in the corridor by the nanny, watching several eunuchs and palace maids move pots of flowers and plants from the warm-up pavilion to the yard.
"Today is a rare sunny day, so I should ask the Ai family to come out and bask in the sun."
The queen mother smiled and said to the girl beside her.
The Empress Dowager and the Duke of Dingguo are close friends, and they met at the Flower Fighting Conference.
Even now, if the two of them have some rare flowers and plants, they will always be unable to help but show off with each other secretly. If the other party does not have it, they must be very itchy and try every means to find them.
Zhang Meishou nodded, with a slight smile on his face.
When he saw the flower plant in the hand of an eunuch, he couldn't help but make a sound.
Chapter completed!
