Dongdongyao: “…”
When there is trouble, Xiao Dongdong, when there is no trouble, the dog system.
OK, I understand.
However, Jiang Jingyu is the host, and Dongdongyao's performance is tied to the host. If the host is in trouble, it must lend a helping hand.
Dongdongyao was silent for a moment. Just when Jiang Jingyu thought Dongdongyao was pretending to be dead, Dongdongyao's mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Jingyu's mind.
[Host, the system has detected a thunderstorm in three days. Host, you can use this opportunity to get closer to Emperor Jing!]
Jiang Jingyu paused slightly while eating.
Thunderstorm?
Nice weather!
Jiang Jingyu was also very excited to be treated like this all the time, but she had only known Emperor Jing for a few days. To be precise, they had only met three times.
But the original body and Zhou Huaiqian were childhood sweethearts, and they had a relationship foundation of more than ten years, and the original body had always admired Zhou Huaiqian.
If her attitude changes too quickly, it will arouse Emperor Jing's suspicion, so if she wants her attitude to change naturally, she needs an opportunity.
Jiang Jingyu was chatting with Dongdongyao the whole time and didn't say a few words to Song Wenjing during the meal.
After Song Wenjing finished his meal with Jiang Jingyu, he left Fengyi Palace on the pretext that he had government affairs to deal with.
Jiang Jingyu knew that he was giving her time to accept it and he didn't want to force her.
The next day, the east was slightly bright.
Thinking that Song Wenjing would bring the woman he loved to pay her respects in Kunning Palace today, the empress dowager was so excited that she didn't sleep much all night. Today, she even asked someone to change her clothes and wash her before dawn.
The Queen Mother looked radiant today, sitting upright on the phoenix chair. She lowered her eyes and smoothed out the non-existent wrinkles on her cuffs.
The Queen Mother folded her hands in her lap and looked at the maid in front of her: "How are you feeling today?"
The nanny smiled and said, "Your Majesty is in great spirits today. I haven't seen you so energetic in a long time."
The wrinkles on the Queen Mother's face deepened upon hearing this. She stared outside the palace and began to wonder, "Why haven't Jing'er and the others arrived yet?"
The nanny consoled her, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. It's not time yet. Perhaps His Majesty and the Empress are already on their way to Kunning Palace."
"Yes, yes, I am anxious. They were busy all day yesterday because of the coronation ceremony. I am afraid they are exhausted. It doesn't matter if they are late. I can wait for them. There is no rush."
Although the empress dowager said she was not in a hurry, her eyes were always looking outside the palace. Fortunately, Song Wenjing and Jiang Jingyu appeared in her sight soon.
The two of them came hand in hand in the morning light. The empress dowager's gaze first fell on Jiang Jingyu. She looked her up and down, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
When her eyes fell on the two people's hands clasped together, the Queen Mother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth!
Jing'er really didn't lie to her, he really didn't mind this woman's contact!
While the empress dowager was lost in thought, Song Wenjing brought Jiang Jingyu to her, and soon a eunuch served them tea.
Song Wenjing picked up the teacup and walked to the Queen Mother: "Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother took the teacup handed to her by Song Wenjing, took a sip very perfunctorily, then waved at him, indicating that he should sit down casually and not block her sight.
Song Wenjing: “…”
Sit down obediently in the seat next to the Queen Mother.
Jiang Jingyu picked up the teacup from her father-in-law's hand in a proper manner, walked to the empress dowager and bowed.
"The daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother feigned slight anger: "Hmm? What should I call you?"
Jiang Jingyu quietly raised her head, and after meeting the Queen Mother's gaze, she quickly changed her words: "Mother, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother then smiled. She took the teacup handed to her by Jiang Jingyu and drank it all in one gulp.
Song Wenjing: “…”
After having a daughter-in-law, I forget about my son.
The Queen Mother put the teacup aside, took Jiang Jingyu's hand and asked her to sit on the phoenix chair with her.
"I heard from Jing'er that your name is Jingyu. You and Jing'er are really destined to be together. You even have the same name with the same pronunciation."
Jiang Jingyu just smiled slightly and didn't respond, but Song Wenjing on the side raised his eyebrows, and was very pleased with his mother's words.
The Queen Mother pulled Jiang Jingyu aside and talked a lot. At first, it was the Queen Mother who asked questions and Jiang Jingyu answered a sentence or two. Later, Jiang Jingyu gradually let down her guard and was no longer as restrained as before.
Facing the kind and benevolent empress dowager, his words increased from one or two to four or five, and his facial expressions gradually became more numerous.
Song Wenjing listened quietly to the conversation between the two without interrupting them. He silently filled their tea cups, then leaned back in the armchair and looked at Jiang Jingyu with burning eyes.
Looking at the smile in her eyes, his heart was also moved by her, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A quarter of an hour later, the Queen Mother still showed no intention of letting Jiang Jingyu leave.
Song Wenjing stood up helplessly and said, "Mother, I still have some memorials to review. I'll excuse myself now. Ayu will stay here and have breakfast with you."
The Queen Mother cast a glance at Song Wenjing and raised her chin towards him, "Go away, government affairs are more important. I will leave Jingyu to have dinner with me in Kunning Palace today."
After Song Wenjing left Kunning Palace, the empress dowager's gaze fell on Jiang Jingyu again.
The Queen Mother took Jiang Jingyu's hand and looked at her with clear eyes: "Jingyu, the matter of Zhou Huaiqian was the work of your Jiang family, right?"
Jiang Jingyu didn't deny it and nodded. "Yes, my father was furious when he found out that he had broken off our engagement and married someone else. He sent people to Miaojiang to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect to find out this by accident."
The Queen Mother was a little surprised by Jiang Jingyu's frankness, but then she was relieved. How could someone who was favored by Jing'er not have outstanding qualities?
The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Jingyu solemnly and said, "Jingyu, if you have the chance one day, please express my gratitude to your father for collecting this evidence and presenting it to the people at such a critical moment!"
If it weren't for Jiang's father suppressing the rumors of the king taking his minister's wife, the consequences would be disastrous!
It has to be said that these evidences are like a timely rain for the Queen Mother and Song Wenjing. As long as Song Wenjing sends people to investigate what Zhou Huaiqian did in Miaojiang, he will definitely be able to find clues.
But that was a little too late.
The image of a king seizing his minister's wife has taken root in the hearts of the people. Even if Zhou Huaiqian's true face is revealed to the people, they will only think that these evidences were deliberately fabricated by Song Wenjing to exonerate himself.
By then, his image in the eyes of the people will collapse again and again, and there will be no room for recovery.
Jiang Jingyu nodded: "Don't worry, mother. When I see father, I will definitely convey your wishes."
"Okay, okay, I feel relieved now that Jingyu has said this."
The Queen Mother smiled and patted Jiang Jingyu's hand. Thinking of something, she suddenly leaned closer to Jiang Jingyu: "Jingyu, the Queen Mother has something else to ask you."
Jiang Jingyu looked at her calmly and said, "Please tell me, mother. I will tell you everything I know."
"Do you have any affection for Jing'er?"
