It can be said that the relationship between mother and son is very deep.
Concubine Jing has been in the palace for many years. Although the Song family is gone now, some of the connections from the past are still there, and some of these people have some leverage over her.
Although the emperor had replaced all the servants around the Holy Mother Empress Dowager since he took power, there were always some who slipped through the net.
On this day, a maid who was cleaning the Zhongcui Palace came to see the Holy Mother Empress Dowager while she was taking a nap.
"Empress Dowager, have you heard? The Emperor is going to crown Consort Jiang as Empress. The ceremony will be held at the beginning of next month."
The Holy Mother Empress Dowager had naturally heard about it. Concubine Jiang had paid her respects to her before, bringing her two children with her. Naturally, she was extremely happy.
"I heard about it." said the Holy Mother Queen Mother.
The maidservant then asked, "Do you know where this virtuous concubine came from?"
"I don't know that," the Holy Mother Empress Dowager was also a little curious when she heard this. "I only know that she was from the Song family."
The Holy Mother Empress Dowager did not care much about affairs, and the emperor always protected her very well, so she did not know much about the conflict between the Song family and the emperor.
She only knew that the Song family had a distinguished family background. "A girl from such a family should be very good, and I think she is also very good."
"You don't know, this Concubine Jiang is actually from the same hometown as you. She's also from Jiangnan, and she has a somewhat ambiguous relationship with her husband..." The maidservant said, "The husband is also from Jiangnan, and she was previously engaged to him."
The Virgin Queen Mother's expression turned somewhat serious.
"really?"
"It's absolutely true. A while ago, the prince consort disappeared. It was said that he had a private relationship with the virtuous concubine, and was discovered by Princess Anyang. That's why..."
"Princess Anyang lost her husband because of her, but she's so good as to turn the tables and say it's all the Prince Consort's fault. The Emperor loves her so much that he actually believes her and now wants to make her Empress."
"How can such a person be worthy of being the queen? If the court officials knew about her affair with the prince consort, I'm afraid she would completely disgrace the emperor."
"Those two princes don't even know whose flesh and blood she is, but the emperor loves her so much that he doesn't care."
When the Holy Mother Empress Dowager heard this, she immediately said, "How can this be possible? Where is the Emperor? Call him here quickly. I want to ask him."
The maid immediately said, "The Emperor has been bewitched by the Concubine, so how could he listen to those words? Naturally, he is on her side."
"When a man is obsessed with beauty, he can do anything."
The Holy Mother Empress Dowager did not doubt this. After all, she herself came from a brothel and had seen many people like this.
She became even more anxious.
"What should we do? No, you have to call the emperor over, and I will talk to him in person. He will always listen to what I say." The Queen Mother gave an order to the maid.
But the maid said, "You can't go like this."
"However, it would be better if you wait until you have the evidence and then tell everyone about this. If you don't tell anyone then, the court officials will not allow the emperor to make such a restless woman his queen."
The Holy Mother Queen Mother asked, "But where can we find the evidence?"
She was totally helpless.
"I heard that the Xianfei's family members in Jiangnan have come to the capital. You can secretly summon them in to ask them clearly. It will be easy to find out whether the marriage has been arranged or not."
The Virgin Queen Mother suddenly understood.
"Okay, let's do as you say. Go and summon Concubine Xian's family to the palace."
After a few days, Concubine Jing had the Jiang family secretly brought to the palace.
The people who came were Jiang's father's second wife Liu and her daughter.
Liu was originally the cousin of Jiang Yi's mother. She had been married before, but her ex-husband favored his concubine over his wife and even beat Liu for her concubine. Liu was beaten half to death and was later divorced.
Liu was left with nowhere else to go, so she came to seek refuge with Jiang Yi's mother.
Jiang Yi's mother was doing business outside. She was a very loyal woman. Not only did she take her cousin home, she also stood up for Liu and reported her ex-husband to the government.
Later, when Liu's wife was abused at her ex-husband's home, it was Jiang Yi's mother who stood up for her.
But Jiang Yi's mother didn't expect that she was helping an ungrateful person.
During the years that Liu lived in the Jiang family, she had already been having an affair with Jiang Yi's father.
After Jiang Yi's mother passed away, Liu abused Jiang Yi just like her ex-husband's concubine.
The person Jiang Yi's mother rescued was a complete ungrateful person.
It’s just that Jiang Yi’s father was really incompetent. After Jiang Yi’s mother passed away, the Jiang family’s business has been going downhill and even to the point of being in debt.
Liu only enjoyed a peaceful life with Jiang Yi's father for two years before Jiang's father began to blame Liu.
It is true that Liu is gentle and considerate, but it is also true that she is useless.
When it really came to this, Father Jiang began to miss Mother Jiang's kindness.
He felt that Liu was a jinx, so he went to ask someone to tell his fortune, and the result was the same: Liu had ruined all his good luck.
Father Jiang and Mrs. Liu began to quarrel. At the most intense moment, Father Jiang even beat Mrs. Liu. It only took two years for the two of them to go from being inseparable to being resentful of each other.
The news of Jiang Yi also spread to Jiangnan. Liu had never expected that Jiang Yi would have such good luck.
She even thought that Jiang Yi went out alone and might have died somewhere.
