Chapter 2 The Queen Mother

The Empress Dowager Cao was the legitimate wife of the late emperor and the biological mother of the current emperor Zhao Yi.

The late emperor favored the imperial concubine Qin, and several times showed the intention of deposing the queen. She suffered the humiliation and neglect of the late emperor, which was even more difficult than the Empress Dowager's situation back then.

But she did not tolerate and retreat like the Empress Dowager, but received the protection of the Empress Dowager. After ten years of Qin Guifei, she gave birth to Zhao Yi in the eleventh year of Qin Guifei's entry into the palace. Then her mother was honored by her son, and with her son's title as the legitimate son of Zhao Yi, she received support from important officials in the court and the clan's office and the clan's orders, and forced the emperor to make Zhao Yi the crown prince.

After the late emperor was buried in the sky, she not only held the five-year-old Zhao Yi and became the empress dowager, but also asked Concubine Qin to bury the late emperor, and sent Zhao Yi, the eldest son born to Concubine Qin, to Liaodong to be a vassal...

Now Emperor Zhao Yi is fifteen years old.

The man was tying his hair with fifteen.

The arbitrary Empress Dowager Cao still lives in Kunning Palace where only the queen is qualified to live. She did not mean to choose Zhao Yi, nor did she mean to return the power to Zhao Yi.

The Empress Dowager was also a little dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Cao because of this.

But even though he was dissatisfied, Empress Dowager Cao is no longer the Empress Dowager Cao who cried pitifully in Cining Palace back then. The Empress Dowager also wanted to leave a way for her brothers in her parents' family, and she also hoped that Empress Dowager Cao could treat Jiang Xian well, so she dared not say anything. Naturally, she turned a blind eye to the matter between the emperor and the empress dowager and pretended not to know.

Jiang Xian in his previous life could naturally feel the helplessness of his grandmother and tried to stay away from Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Yi.

But Jiang Xian knew that on October 14th this year, the day of Empress Dowager Cao's birthday, the young emperor Zhao Yi, supported by her uncle, Duke Zhenguo Jiang Zhenyuan and his uncle Jian Wang Zhao Zheng, led the three thousand imperial guards to surround the Wanshou Mountain in Kunming Lake where Empress Dowager Cao was the birthday party... On October 18th, Empress Dowager Cao returned to power to Zhao Yi, and on October 25th, Empress Dowager Cao died in Changchun Palace.

He was 47 years old and was posthumously named "Xiaoding".

On the tenth day of the following March, Zhao Yi made her the queen, and the original palace maid Xiao Rongniang was made a beauty because of her contribution to giving birth.

Jiang Xian sighed almost indescribably.

She has been busy confirming whether she was a dream or a rebirth in the past few days. She is busy reuniting with her grandmother who has passed away for eight years in her memory, and is busy analyzing the grievances in her previous life, and actually ignores such an important thing.

But what if she remembers it?

Zhao Yi was like his biological mother, Empress Dowager Cao. He was suspicious and cunning by nature and acted cruelly and cruelly. He wanted to surround Empress Dowager Cao, but he must have planned for a long time. Her uncle Jiang Zhenyuan was probably on Zhao Yi's pirate ship long ago. At this time, he encouraged his uncle to break up with him. This not only alerted the snake to arouse the suspicion of Empress Dowager Cao, but also Zhao Yi was resentful for cutting off the firewood from the cauldron. Neither side of him was aggrieved.

The most taboo thing in the temple is this fence-bearing grass on both sides.

Optimistically, Zhao Yi in his previous life was at least successful. Her uncle had achieved success and the Jiang family's momentum was also improved. If she interrupted the situation in her previous life, Empress Dowager Cao was still in power, who knew what would happen?

Jiang Xian asked himself, in fact, she felt that compared to Empress Dowager Cao, who had always been unfamiliar with her, Zhao Yi, who had been married to her for three years, could be better off dealing with her. She would not worry about Empress Dowager Cao’s affairs...

Jiang Xian stood up and wanted to help his grandmother.

The Empress Dowager waved his hand, slowly put on the card, and said, "The weather is so cold, so please ask the Empress Dowager to speak in the warm room!"

"Is this OK?" The Imperial Concubine was a little worried.

Since the second son of the emperor, the third son and the fourth son of the imperial concubine born to Concubine Qin died in the past ten years, and were so cruel that they were crazy, the people in the palace were very afraid of Empress Dowager Cao, especially those who came from aristocratic families like the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and brothers and nephews were officials in the court.

The Empress Dowager sneered and did not wash again. So the Empress Dowager and Jiang Xian helped him to the second room of the warm room.

Liu Xiaoman, the eunuch of Cining Palace, bowed in front of him and led the way. More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids surrounded Empress Dowager Cao and walked in.

She smiled and shouted "My Mother".

Empress Dowager Cao's eunuch Cheng Dehai had already brought the Grand Master Zhang chair to Empress Dowager Cao.

Liu Xiaoman lowered his eyes and his face looked a little ugly.

The Empress Dowager pretended not to see it and said politely: "It's a heavy wind and rain, so it's hard for you to come to see me. Is there anything important? Just send someone a message, why bother to follow me in person?"

Empress Dowager Cao is already a person who is sitting around and looking around. Perhaps it has been so smooth in recent years. The worries left by the late emperor in the early years were no longer visible to her. Her face was rosy and her eyes were bright. She was wearing a very ordinary stone-green grape-like persimmon pattern pill, and only wore a ruby ​​double-bless red gold earring on her ears. Her eyebrows were full of the confidence of the superiors.

Jiang Xian and others stepped forward to salute her.

Empress Dowager Cao didn't even glance at the corner of her eyes, and said to the Taihuang: "I haven't come to Cining Palace some days. I'm not too busy today, so I come and take a look." Then her eyes fell straight on Jiang Xian, and there was a smile on her face, "Bao Ning, why do I feel like you have grown taller again?"

Empress Dowager Cao has always been quite friendly to Jiang Xian.

This is certainly related to Jiang Xian being favored by the Empress Dowager, but also to her uncle, Duke Zhenguo Jiang Zhenyuan, was one of the three major dukes of the dynasty. Before his death, the auxiliary minister pointed out to Zhao Yi, and now he is in charge of the military power of the Xishan camp.

So Empress Dowager Cao always wanted to marry Jiang Xian to her nephew Chengen Duke Cao Xuan.

In his previous life, Jiang Xian was very disgusted with Empress Dowager Cao's practice of putting Cao Xuan, who was eight years older than him, into piles.

Before Empress Dowager Cao entered the palace, the Cao family was just a small fourth-rank hereditary commander. Cao Xuan was not yet engaged until he was twenty-one years old. Everyone knew that Empress Dowager Cao wanted to use Cao Xuan's marriage to improve the Cao family's family.

No one with a little backbone would do such things. Empress Dowager Cao, who wanted to do such things, looked down on him. After a while, Empress Dowager Cao put his ideas on Jiang Xian.

In this life, Jiang Xian's mood is quite subtle in the face of Empress Dowager Cao's purposeful affection.

After Zhao Yi took power, one of her and Cao Xuan were left with the emperor, the queen who was left with nominal name, and the other was the remnants of the emperor who was deeply disgusted by the emperor and suppressed the cleanup. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but sigh as if she was sick and neighbors. Instead, when Empress Dowager Cao died, she helped each other and formed allies tacitly. They survived Zhao Yi's death, she became the queen mother, and Cao Xuan became her loyal minister...

Queen Mother Cao was afraid she never dreamed of it!

Jiang Xian tried hard to recall when he was thirteen years old.

At that time, she seemed quite naive and romantic. She felt that she was protected by her grandmother and uncle. As long as she didn't mess with others, no one would offend her. She treated Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Yi like neighbors next door, and was polite and alienated.

Then just pretend to be a polite little girl.

Jiang Xian smiled at Empress Dowager Cao with his lips pursed, which was considered to be the answer to Empress Dowager Cao's words.
