Chapter 151 Hum the second general
Jiang Ting looked at Mother Wang, who asked so straightforwardly, and suddenly she didn't know how to reply to her. After asking, Mother Wang was also stunned. Then she was pulled by Mother Zheng and hurriedly smiled and said, "Ha ha, girl, don't be angry. Well, I'm not saying that His Royal Highness can't like you... No, I mean, can you explain it more? What's going on with this prince's side concubine?
Jiang Ting looked at the three of her with a little embarrassment and looked at her doubts. For a moment, she didn't know how to speak. Suddenly, did she feel that she was a little narcissistic? After all, everything is actually her own guess. It can't be serious at all.
In fact, even if Princess Pingning reveals to her that the crown princess is pregnant, it is not a special hint that the prince wants to accept the side concubine. It can be regarded as a gossip between the little sisters. Today, in the royal palace, she and Princess Antai and Sun Yun are just guessing.
Although the Empress Dowager's special duty to her makes this speculation seven or eight points. But with only one guess, it was determined that the royal family wanted her to be a side concubine for the prince, which seemed to be a little too narcissistic.
Jiang Ting coughed gently and lost her embarrassment. Since she called people here, she could also let them analyze for themselves. So, she began to say from the beginning, "Well, you all know that the Empress Dowager often called me into the palace for more than two years. In fact, in the past, most of me used to chat with the Empress Dowager or play with Princess Pingning and Princess Antai. But since a year ago, almost every time I was summoned into the palace, I could meet His Royal Highness. Moreover, since a year ago, the Empress Dowager's attitude towards me has become closer and closer to me. To be honest, this is something I can't figure out.
M Mother Zheng and Mother Wang looked at each other and nodded. This time, Mother Wang didn't dare to talk nonsense. Mother Zheng thought and said, "What the girl said is really strange. If the Empress Dowager really likes girls, then for the sake of the girl's reputation, you should not be allowed to meet the prince frequently. But if the Empress Dowager really likes the girl and wants you to be a side concubine for the prince, there is no reason for you to have frequent contact with the prince before entering the East Palace. This royal family is the most important place for reputation. If you really have any affair with the prince, it is actually not a glorious thing.
Jiang Ting listened to Mother Zheng's words, nodded repeatedly and said, "That's what I mean. Therefore, every time I meet the prince, I try to keep a cold attitude while being respectful to him, and try to avoid it when I can. Otherwise, I'm afraid that your girl's reputation would have been destroyed in the palace long ago, alas.
Jiang Ting sighed and then said, "Well, in addition to this problem just now, there is another problem. That is, the queen's attitude towards me is also very special. She has always been very kind to me on the surface. But to be honest, I just think she doesn't like me very much. Every time I see the queen, I feel a chill in my heart. Moreover, since she first saw me, her eyes have clearly disliked me. But the problem is that she didn't stop Princess Pingning from dating me. This is another thing I can't understand at all."
M Mother Zheng and Mother Wang both bowed their heads and meditated for a while. Then, Mother Zheng asked Jiang Ting, "Girl, is it because of the incident three years ago that the Empress has a prejugion for you?" Maybe it's because the Empress Dowager showed a special love for you, so she can't make it too difficult for you. No, this explanation doesn't seem to make sense... Girl, has the Empress ever been sad to you behind your back?"
Jiang Ting frowned and shook her head and said, "No. Even if I met her by chance and there was no empress dowager and princess around, she was always very kind to me. It's just that I just felt that there was no temperature in her eyes looking at me. So I think that if the Empress Dowager still has a three-point love for me, the Empress should hate me.
Mother Zheng and Mother Wang couldn't help looking at each other. What did the two masters in the harem think? They obviously couldn't guess anything famous with Jiang Ting's words alone.
Jiang Ting looked at the surprise in their eyes and naturally understood that they had not figured it out. However, the queen's affairs are secondary, and what she wants to say now is the most important thing: "The attitude of the empress dowager and the queen has always made me feel as if they have something to think of me. So, as you know, I have been working very hard in the past two years. Of course, there is no need to say more about this. What I want to say is that the last time I entered the palace, Princess Pingning specially revealed to me the news that the crown princess was pregnant, and hinted that my highness should be about to choose a side concubine. Then, today I went to the flower viewing party of Qingwang Mansion and learned from Princess Antai that today's flower meeting is not only for her eldest brother, the son of King Qing, who chooses the concubine of the world, but also related to the prince's next selection of concubines. It seems that the prince also went to Qingwangfu today.
M Mother Zheng looked at Mother Wang, first reached out and grabbed her words, and then turned to Jiang Ting and said, "Girl, Rong Xiao asked you first, do you... want that huge wealth?"
Jiang Ting couldn't help but glance at Mother Zheng and said anly, "What did Mother say? If I want that kind of wealth, do I have to think so hard to stay away from that master for more than two years? I asked you to come, but in fact, I was afraid that I had been put on the chessboard and set the way for the future. If it is true, as I guessed, while there is still a chance, I want to see if I can break this game. I repeat, what I want to think about in the future is the small life of ordinary people! The so-called wealth of the sky has to be thought of by people with scheism and capital. If a person like me enters that place, is there any way to live?
As soon as Jiang Ting finished her words, Mother Wang's eyes were full of anxiety. She took back her hand from Mother Zheng and clapped her hands and said, "The girl understands that that kind of place is really not enough for ordinary people to stay. You are right. We would rather marry a lower one than think about the wealth that can only be obtained by stepping on human blood.
Jiang Ting suddenly felt why Mother Wang was so attractive at this moment. She smiled and nodded to her and said, "That's it. Although I'm a young girl, I can see it clearly. I'm such a kind person. If I really go in and don't get killed, I have to suffocate myself. There is a big cage with a group of canaries!"
M Mother Zheng and Zhihua looked at Jiang Ting and Mother Wang speechlessly. They looked like they knew each other and hated each other, and they didn't know what reaction they should give them. Several people can be said to get together every day. It has been three years, and now they find that they are like each other. Isn't it a little too late?
Mother Zheng is thoughtful, not as straight as Mother Wang. In fact, she made it very clear that Jiang Ting was willing to discuss these things with them tonight, which did not mean that she really agreed with and accepted them. Maybe this is just a test for them. However, after three years of decoration, it is finally starting to be accepted, which is inevitable that Mother Wang will be excited for a moment.
To say, at the beginning, Mother Wang was not like this, and she was also a very cautious person when she was in the palace. After leaving the palace, she often teaches and leads the mistress in a large family, and she dares to make up her mind after thinking about it.
However, since she decided to follow Jiang Ting for retirement, the straightforwardness in her nature has slowly emerged. In addition, Jiang Ting has always respected them, and there is nothing to worry about in this yard, so M Mother Wang is no longer so reserved.
However, Mother Zheng is the opposite of Mother Wang. She is a delicate person. She has a very clear understanding of the situation of the two of them, the situation of Jiang Ting, and the situation of Jiang's house. So in the past three years, she has become deeper and more cautious.
So, slowly she and Mother Wang seemed to become the second generals in Jiang Ting's yard. Together, they are in charge of this small courtyard with only 20 to 30 people. Although Jiang Ting encountered any private matters, she rarely mentioned and discussed them. But Jiang Ting can rest assured that she can give them this yard, which is also a kind of trust in them, which is also the most important reason why they can rest assured until now.
In the past three years, it has been Mother Wang who has come forward to those servants who serve Jiang Ting. She is quite imposing with a black face. And when there is something that needs to be dealt with secretly, or when you pretend to be white, you need Mother Zheng to come forward. Because she said good words or used a soft knife to do it perfectly.
At present, Jiang Ting is willing to start discussing with them when she encounters difficulties, which means that she is willing to trust them further. Trust is mutual. If Jiang Ting has always had a weak attitude towards them, in fact, they can't open their hearts to her. Anyway, this is a good start.
And if you want to get Jiang Ting's trust as much as possible, it is obviously a shortcut to help her deal with the matter in front of her.
These thoughts flashed through Mother Zheng's mind, and then she focused on what Jiang Ting said.
After thinking for a while, the eyes in Mother Zheng's eyes began to shine again. She slowly said, "Girl, this princess is pregnant, and it is normal for the prince to take a concubine. But if he takes this opportunity to accept the side concubine directly, he is a little too eager. The Wei family is a real famous family, and the crown princess is the queen's niece. Even for the empress's face, the prince should not accept the concubine so soon. And even if they really have something to think about you, at least they have to wait for you to discuss it later. That is to say, we should still have more than half a year to think about how to break the situation.
