Chapter 395 Good News



Emperor Jingming's reaction made Jiang Si feel relieved, and it was also expected.

Since she had made up her mind not to hide her incompetence any more, she had to give an explanation for the trick she used to make the flower buds bloom at the plum blossom viewing banquet, the method she used to cure Princess Fuqing, and the many other unusual things that would happen in the future.

But what could she, a noblewoman who grew up in a large mansion, say? She couldn't just make up a mysterious master.

Instead of making such a lie, it is better to attribute it to innate knowledge. Anyway, that's what she said, and others can only listen to it whether they believe it or not.

Those in a higher position don’t really care about the reasons; what they always care about is whether the result is beneficial.

Jiang Si knew that Emperor Jingming would send people to investigate later, but fortunately, she had grown up without any abnormalities, so she was not afraid of the investigation.

Yu Jin glanced at Jiang Si and said with a smile, "Father, you have a keen eye and have chosen a good daughter-in-law for me."

Emperor Jingming laughed even louder.

He said that having a daughter-in-law who can perform magic tricks would make the palace more interesting in the future.

Princess Fuqing came to Jiang Si and bowed deeply to her: "Sister-in-law, Fuqing would like to thank you——"

Jiang Si reached out and supported Princess Fuqing: "Princess, you don't have to do this. You have an eye disease, and I happen to be able to cure it. This is probably God's will."

"God's will?" Princess Fuqing murmured, her eyes reddening again.

After she grew up, she complained countless times about God’s unfairness. Now that her eyesight has healed, does it mean that God has not forgotten her?

"Whether it was God's will or not, it was Sister-in-law Qi who cured my eyes. Fuqing is very grateful..." Princess Fuqing said, looking at the Queen.

The Queen was still very excited at this moment.

She only has this one daughter, and her daughter's blindness is the deepest pain in her heart. Now that her daughter's eyesight has recovered, she has finally gotten over the pain.

As for the princes - having watched them grow up one by one, and even the youngest, the Eighth Prince, being married off, the Empress had long given up the idea of ​​giving birth to a prince.

She and the emperor are both old. Not to mention that they can no longer give birth to a child, what good would it matter even if they gave birth to a prince now?

If the legitimate son, the crown prince, can ascend the throne smoothly, that's all. If not, he is destined to be unable to become a wealthy and leisurely prince like other princes.

The queen directly held Jiang Si's hand and said, "Fuqing is a grateful child, and you are also a sensible child. In the future, you should come to Kunning Palace often and chat with me more..."

The queen said this and winked at her confidant nanny: "Bring me a Lingxiao bracelet."

The trusted nanny was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned and left.

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground and shouted: "Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Empress, congratulations to His Highness——"

Emperor Jingming was very pleased: "Everyone will be rewarded!"

The queen smiled and nodded.

Hearing the deafening congratulations, the palace maids outside the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.

Today, Prince Yan and Princess Yan came to offer tea to the Emperor and Empress. What happened to cause such news?

Not long ago, the King of Shu came with his Princess Shu, but they left after only an incense stick of time.

Seeing a eunuch who was serving in the palace come out, a palace maid outside the palace boldly asked: "Eunuch Tao, what happy event happened?"

The eunuch could not contain his joy: "Her Highness the Princess' eyes have recovered. The Emperor ordered me to go to Cining Palace to announce the good news."

The eunuch hurried away, even his steps showed excitement.

All the palace servants who knew the news were overjoyed.

There hasn't been such a big happy event in Kunning Palace for a long time. Not to mention how much reward the Empress will receive, at least for a few months they will be working in a fairly relaxed atmosphere, without worrying about being punished for making a mistake.

What's more, Princess Fuqing has such a good personality, it's really pitiful that she is blind.

There was an immediate atmosphere of joy inside and outside Kunning Palace, with everyone's face showing an expression that was happier than during the Chinese New Year.

In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was listening to Cui Mingyue's funny words when a palace maid came to report: "Eunuch Tao from Kunning Palace has been ordered to come and tell the Queen Mother the good news."

Good news?

The Queen Mother couldn't help but straighten her face and was surprised.

What kind of good news could happen in Kunning Palace that would be worth sending someone to announce it?

Thinking that the Prince of Yan and his wife should be serving tea to the Emperor and Empress in Kunning Palace at this moment, the Queen Mother had an idea.

Could it be related to the King and his wife of Yan?

But she really couldn't imagine what kind of ability that couple had to be related to announcing good news.

With this doubt in mind, the Queen Mother signaled the palace maid to bring in the eunuch who was to report the good news.

As soon as Eunuch Tao came in, he immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "This servant congratulates the Queen Mother!"

"Where does the joy come from?" asked the Queen Mother in a deep voice.

Although Eunuch Tao did not dare to raise his head, his tone was very excited: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Princess Fuqing's eyes have recovered——"

The Queen Mother stood up suddenly: "What?"

The news the eunuch brought was so bizarre that she couldn't help but suspect that she had heard it wrongly.

"Empress Dowager, Princess Fuqing's eyesight has improved greatly!" Eunuch Tao repeated loudly.

The Queen Mother, supported by a palace maid, approached Eunuch Tao with a very stern look on her face: "Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"

Eunuch Tao kowtowed and said, "I would never dare to deceive the Queen Mother. The Emperor and the Empress ordered me to tell her the good news."

The Queen Mother still couldn't believe it: "How did Princess Fuqing's eyes get better?"

"It was Princess Yan who cured the princess' eyes!"

The Queen Mother was completely stunned.

Cui Mingyue, who was standing quietly aside, rarely showed a look of surprise.

Jiang Si cured Princess Fuqing's eyes? Absurd!

But no matter how absurd it was, she still accepted the fact calmly.

If she could cut her own flesh to cure the empress dowager's illness, why couldn't Jiang Si cure Princess Fuqing's eyes?

She really underestimated Su's daughter!

While Cui Mingyue was thinking, the Queen Mother had already ordered: "Go and invite Princess Fuqing and the Prince of Yan and his wife to come to Cining Palace--"

Just after giving the order, the Queen Mother changed her mind: "No, help me go to Kunning Palace."

It was always the Empress who came to Cining Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager almost never took the initiative to go to Kunning Palace. However, the fact that Princess Fuqing's eyes were cured made everyone feel that the Empress Dowager's action was not surprising at all.

Even if you are just curious, you should go to Kunning Palace to take a look.

A group of people rushed to Kunning Palace.

Emperor Jingming was smiling and saying to the Empress, "I wonder how happy your mother will be when she hears this."

The queen agreed with a smile, but she didn't agree with it in her heart.

Even though Fuqing was her daughter, she was just a princess. In the Empress Dowager's heart, she was not as important as the princes.

After all, who else can we count on to love Fuqing the most except her biological mother?

Therefore, seeing Princess Fuqing's closeness to Jiang Si, the Queen liked Jiang Si more and more.

The emperor was right. The seventh son married a good wife, and it was worth it for him to give her the Lingxiao bracelet.

In the midst of joy and peace, the eunuch shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother is here——"

Emperor Jingming and the Empress looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

The emperor and empress quickly joined hands to welcome the empress dowager.

Yu Jin extended his hand to Jiang Si and said with a low laugh, "You just went to see her but she refused, but now you are taking the initiative. Ah Si, you are really capable."

Jiang Si put his hand into Yu Jin's and smiled back.

The two walked out side by side.
