Chapter 98 Concession
At this time, the Empress Dowager was still worried about Zhao Yi's face and did not shout out what Zhao Yi did.
When he was in the lantern, Jiang Xian spoke with the Empress Dowager, who had eaten half a bowl of white porridge and could no longer eat it.
"Grandma, at this time, what's the use of not putting the phoenix seal?" She advised the Empress Dowager, "Even Empress Dowager Cao followed the emperor's will in this matter, and helped the emperor arrange all the people who covered their shame. Why do you have to go to this muddy water? In the end, they can only offend everyone."
"We can't ignore the things in this world just because we offend people." The Empress Dowager said in disagreement, "Baoping, if Fang's son becomes the eldest son of the emperor, I will go to Huangquan, how can I have the face to see your grandfather?"
Jiang Xian couldn't help but mutter in his heart after hearing this.
If you want to see him, he may not want to see you?
When he was alive, he was the most fond of An.
If it weren't for the honest and honest person of An, I'm afraid that the position in your central palace would have changed a lot!
When Jiang Xian thought of this, he sighed quietly in his heart.
Is it only her mind that is so narrow that she can't tolerate others being sorry...
"Although Empress Dowager Cao is not good-natured, he is the empress dowager who has taken charge of the government after all." Jiang Xian advised his grandmother to use the seal in a gentle voice. "If you think this is inappropriate, don't you be careful to send someone to ask Empress Dowager Cao, she may have no choice but to agree. Besides, King Jian, he is an old minister of several generations and is well-informed. Instead of making trouble with the emperor and then asking King Jian to come forward to persuade the emperor, it is better to discuss with King Jian in advance." She finally reminded her grandmother, "As the saying goes, the arm can't twist the thigh. The emperor is now, that thigh."
The Empress Dowager thought about it, but early the next morning, she rushed to call King Jian into the palace.
Jiang Xian and Bai Su hid in the East Third Institute to make needles and threads.
Both of them were in a bad mood, and Jiang Xian was even more intrigued by needles and threads.
In his previous life, King Jian once told her that Empress Dowager Cao harmed the royal descendants and that if she was asked to continue to rule from behind the curtain, I am afraid that the Zhao family's country would be surnamed Cao in the future. Later, he supported himself in various ways because she was raising Zhao Xi with all her heart.
I hope he will be consistent in his words and deeds.
Bai Su was worried about Song Xianyi, and she whispered to Jiang Xian: "If something happens, how do you think Empress Dowager Cao will deal with Song Xianyi?"
Jiang Xian said: "Maybe she will be given a low-level title and let her take care of that child?"
Bai Su sighed and said, "What did she do wrong? She wants to get involved with the emperor... I used to think she was a smart person, but now it seems that she is just like that! Isn't there anyone in this palace who doesn't want to be a concubine for the emperor?"
"Yes!" Jiang Xian smiled, "Are you and me?"
"Bah!" Bai Su took the handkerchief and threw Jiang Xian for a moment. He said, "You have no threshold for speaking now? You dare to say anything!"
Jiang Xian laughed with her.
The atmosphere in the room finally improved.
After King Jian left, Jiang Xian immediately went to see the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's face was pale and tilted on the pillow of the big kang next to the window.
The result of discussion with King Jian is self-evident.
Jiang Xian felt a little sad about his grandmother, so he took the teacup from the palace maid and placed it at the hands of the Empress Dowager, whispering to the Empress Dowager: "The emperor is still young. As long as he can give birth to the eldest son, what's the point of keeping that child in the palace?"
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes sadly and said, "Forget it, I have handed the Feng Yin to Fangling and asked her to take it to Wanshou Mountain. I don't care about this. Let them make trouble! I figured it out too. They are all afraid of offending the emperor. If I stand alone here, it will only make people feel that they are relying on their seniority and disrespectful to their seniority!"
Having said that, when the harem officially claimed that Song Xianyi was pregnant with the emperor's dragon heir and moved into Yiyun Pavilion, the Empress Dowager could not help crying when she saw the congratulatory comments written by those self-righteous wives.
Jiang Xian and Bai Su, the Grand Princess, thought of a way to coax the Grand Princess for several days, and the Grand Princess' mood gradually improved. Thinking of Jiang Xian, the snow had been falling for several days, and the century-old plum trees in the imperial garden were blooming. He decided to invite several ladies to the palace to visit the plum mat and hold a plum mat. Jiang Xian and others naturally applauded, helped to come up with ideas, set the menu, and wrote invitations. After several days of busyness, the Grand Princess did not really think about this matter. They went to the Royal Garden to see the plum blossoms with Jiang Xian, Bai Su, and the Grand Princess.
At this time, Li Qian and Cao Xuan were sitting in Yu Zaoxuan in Kunming Lake and learned from the ancients' cold snow fishing.
"... When the Duke of Zhenguo called me to talk about this, I felt good, too." Li Qian looked at the wind and snow and his hands were put in his sleeves, trembling with cold. As he helped the two of them look at the fishing rod, he picked up the warm Jinhua wine on the small red mud stove next to him and sifted a cup of Cao Xuan who was sitting opposite him, and continued, "My father said that if the court was staring at the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager held his breath and was unwilling to give in to the emperor. You have also seen how the Empress Dowager treated the Emperor when the Emperor was in Wanshou Mountain. Now the most urgent task is to ease the relationship with the Emperor and the Masters. If the green mountains are left, I will not be afraid of losing firewood. Let's talk about it later."
Why didn’t Cao Xuan know?
Otherwise, Li Changqing wouldn't have let Li Qian talk about this to him.
He looked at the snow falling outside, looked ashamed, and whispered: "Originally, the Empress Dowager wanted to marry you and Miss Bai..."
"It's time and time!" Li Qian looked completely indifferent. "At that time, the Emperor was the Emperor's praise of the Li family, so it would be better for the Li family and the Bai family to marry each other. Now my family and the Empress Dowager are moving forward and retreating. The emperor sees that the Empress Dowager's sake has not settled our Li family, so how could he value the Li family? The Li family is able to marry the Bai family because of the Emperor's favor." He said, and smiled hurriedly: "You are not worried because of this, right?"
"How could it be!" Cao Xuan looked at him unhappily, picked up the wine cup and drank it all, "I just feel a little sorry for you!"
As Li Qian said, the reason why the Li family was qualified to marry the Bai family was because her aunt wanted to reuse the Li family. Now his aunt is in a downturn. The Li family, who follows his aunt, has no future in the eyes of others. Not to mention marrying the Bai family, even if they marry a fifth-rank and sixth-rank official in the capital, others will think that the Li family is lucky, and people like Duke of Zhenguo Jiang Zhenyuan look down on the Li family even more.
Marrying with the new high-ranking people today is the attitude of Cao Jia submitting to the emperor and seeking peace from the cabinet.
The candidate for marriage can only be the one who represents the Cao family.
The Li family is not qualified at all.
If the Li family is pushed out, it is not asking for peace, it is to hit the emperor and the cabinet.
So he can only be the one who married the Bai family.
As for him, you can marry anyone.
As long as the emperor can feel at ease.
However, because the Bai family was proposed by Jiang Zhenyuan, Duke of Zhenguo, it is worthy of being treated with caution.
