Even Old Madam Qin couldn't hide her joy. "If the Empress can really help Jinyan return to the court, she will be the Jiang family's great benefactor. Our entire family will be grateful for the Empress's kindness."
As she spoke, she thought about this matter carefully in her mind.
Empress Sun came from an extremely distinguished family. Her father was the powerful Right Prime Minister Sun Dezhao. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Sun family is now known as the most powerful family in the capital.
This is also the reason why the relationship between Emperor Yong and the Queen has always been cold, but no one in the harem can shake the Queen's position.
Even the Empress Dowager had to give Empress Sun some face for the sake of the Right Prime Minister.
Empress Sun was a very shrewd person. She never relied on her natal family's influence to act arrogantly in front of her mother-in-law. Instead, she always served the empress dowager wholeheartedly and fulfilled her filial piety to the emperor.
The Queen Mother was also very nice to Empress Sun, and there was a bond between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. If the Queen was really willing to speak up for the Jiang family, I believed the Queen Mother would not refuse.
But the problem is that even if the Queen can deal with the Queen Mother, there is still the Emperor.
Although Madam Qin was a woman in the harem, she was quite knowledgeable about the affairs of the court. She was not a fool with an empty mind like Mrs. Lu.
She had long known that although the imperial decree to cane and imprison her eldest grandson was issued by the Empress Dowager, it was the Emperor who wanted Jiang Jinyan to be removed from office.
The emperor was very disappointed with Jiang Jinyan because of Jiang Huaizhu's incident.
This was no wonder. Jiang Jinyan was the third place scholar and the Eastern Palace scholar that he had chosen. He had placed high hopes on him. However, this kid acted foolishly in household affairs. He took advantage of the fact that she and the Marquis were not back and disregarded the overall situation to do such a foolish thing.
If she were the emperor, she would not want to reuse such a confused person.
But Jiang Jinyan is her eldest grandson, the most promising male of the younger generation of the Jiang family. She will never be willing to let his future end here.
"Miss Qingluan, as long as the Empress Dowager can get the Queen Mother to withdraw the imperial decree and lift Jinyan's house arrest, then there will be no need to trouble the Empress Dowager with the matter of letting him return to the court."
Madam Qin looked at Qingluan and said with gratitude, "What this child will become in the future depends on his own luck."
But she was thinking that it would be great if the Queen could ask the Right Prime Minister to come forward and make the Emperor change his mind.
Qingluan has been with the Queen since she was seven or eight years old. Although she is young, she is also a shrewd person who has seen countless people. How could she not understand what Madam Qin meant?
The smile on her lips deepened, and her voice lowered:
"Save the person to the end, send the Buddha to the west. Since the Queen wants to help Master Jiang, she won't leave the real problem to the Jiang family. Don't worry, old lady, the Queen will have her own way."
After hearing her words, Mrs. Qin felt relieved.
She let out a long breath, then stood up and said solemnly:
"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Please tell the Queen when you return to the palace. If there is anything you need from the Jiang family in the future, please let us know. The Jiang family will certainly be at your service."
Qingluan also stood up with a smile and supported Old Madam Qin:
"With Young Master Jiang's return to the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now has a wise man to look up to. This is already a reward. However, there is one thing I would like to ask the old lady to pay attention to."
