Jiang seemed unwilling to give up any anomalies, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Grandma, do you still remember when the relationship between Grandma and the Queen Mother began to become cold?"

Madam Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Before the Queen Mother entered the palace. At that time, your grandmother had already left the palace, and even your uncle had one."

Jiang Si's eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured, "So, grandma is a little late to leave the house."

Actually, my grandmother is younger than the Empress Dowager, but she gave birth to my uncle while the Empress Dowager was still not married...

Madam Feng said indifferently, "There is nothing strange about this. The Queen Mother has no say on when to leave the palace."

"What?" Jiang Si couldn't help but sit up straight.

Madam Feng seemed to be lost in her memories, her tone filled with envy that could not be concealed: "Because the Queen Mother is the Crown Princess, she had long been engaged to the Crown Prince, so when the marriage will take place depends on the wishes of the royal family, not on the Queen Mother..."

After listening to Madam Feng's explanation, Jiang Si nodded slightly: "So that's how it is."

"Since then, the Queen Mother has no contact with my grandmother?"

Although it seems that the two of them have almost no friendship now, could it be that they became estranged all of a sudden decades ago?

"That should be the case." Old Madam Feng said uncertainly, "Not long after their relationship faded, the Queen Mother entered the palace, and there were fewer opportunities for them to interact..."

Jiang Si hesitated for a moment and asked, "Besides the Queen Mother, does Grandmother have any friends?"

Madam Feng frowned and thought carefully, then shook her head slightly: "It's been too long, I'm not familiar with it, I really can't think of it for the moment."

Not to mention the old lady of Marquis Yining, after so many years, she almost forgot what her deceased husband looked like.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Feng suddenly felt a little sad.

Jiang Si did not give Madam Feng too much time to feel sad, and then asked: "Grandma, please think about it carefully again. As long as it is about grandma, you can tell me anything you have some impression of."

It was obviously unrealistic to expect an old lady to remember everything after so much time had passed, but this was not without its benefits. In this case, the things that Old Lady Feng could remember were usually special things, such as the handkerchief friendship of my grandmother when she became the Queen Mother.

"Si'er, why are you asking these questions?" At this point, Old Madam Feng was really curious.

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Will Big Brother be eliminated again in a few months?"

Three years ago in the autumn examination, Jiang Cang, the eldest son of the Dongping Marquis's mansion, was assigned the bad number in the examination room because of bad luck. As a result, he vomited continuously and was unable to answer the questions smoothly, so he was carried out and missed the provincial examination held every three years.

From then on, Young Master Jiang, who had a bright future in the eyes of the world, fell into a slump and it took him a long time to recover.

Now, three years have passed, and when the sweet osmanthus is fragrant, Jiang Cang will die again. This is a big event for the Dongping Marquis's Mansion, especially for the second old master Jiang, who sees no hope of the title, and old lady Feng, who values ​​her eldest grandson. It is a big event among big events.

In the heart of Old Madam Feng, she always believed that the most promising one was her eldest grandson Jiang Cang. As for her second grandson Jiang Zhan, he was able to have what he has today just because he was lucky.

Jiang Cang must pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi next spring to prove that she has never made a mistake in choosing someone.

The meaning behind Jiang Si's words was so obvious that Old Madam Feng was delighted. She gave up asking further questions and thought hard for a while before her eyes lit up. She said, "I remembered something."

"Grandma, you say."

"Your grandmother had a good friend at that time, but that girl's identity was a little special..." Old Lady Feng seemed unsure and hesitated for a moment.

Jiang Si's voice was soft and sweet: "Just say whatever comes to your mind, even if it's not accurate."

Mrs. Feng glanced at Jiang Si and thought that this girl was completely different from before when she asked for help from her.

Humph, so what if she was wrong? Can I still give her face?

After mumbling a few words in her mind, Old Madam Feng said, "That girl doesn't seem to be from the Great Zhou."

Jiang Si's eyes tightened, and his voice unconsciously rose: "Not from the Great Zhou?"

It's no wonder she lost her composure. The news she heard from Old Madam Feng today really shocked her.

First, it turned out that my grandmother and the empress dowager were close friends, and now I know that my grandmother has another close friend who is not from the Great Zhou.

Jiang seemed to have guessed something and couldn't wait to ask, "Where is she from?"

"At the time, there were rumors that the girl came from the south. Some said she was from Nanlan, and some said she was from a southern Xinjiang tribe. In short, there were all kinds of rumors. It was hard to say where she was from."

"Coming from the south..." Jiang Si murmured, his heart beating faster.

Could it be that another good friend of my grandmother was a Wu Miao?

If it is confirmed that the good friend is Wu Miao, then could the woman be Asan's grandmother?

Jiang Si remained silent, a thought circling in his mind: What if the woman who was on good terms with his grandmother was Asan's grandmother, and she looked so much like Asan, what would that mean?

Jiang seemed to have grasped something vaguely, but when he thought about it carefully, he had no clue and felt that everything in front of him was thick with fog.

There are some things that only my grandmother seems to know, and one can only get general answers from others.

Of course, this is usually a great gain for her.

Jiang Si looked at Madam Feng with bright eyes: "Grandmother, grandma is a noblewoman in the capital, but she is actually on good terms with a foreign woman. Don't you think it's strange? How did she know that foreign woman?"

Old Madam Feng smiled and said, "Of course it's strange, that's why there are all these discussions, but as time goes by, people are not so curious anymore, after all, there are so many new things for the little girl. As for how your grandmother met the foreign woman - I vaguely heard that your grandmother was rescued by the girl when she was outing, and your grandmother brought her back to the house to stay for a while..."

"Did the Queen Mother often visit my grandmother at that time?" Jiang seemed to have thought of something and asked this question for some unknown reason.

Madam Feng was startled, then nodded: "At that time, your grandmother had already left the palace. When I said she was brought back to the mansion, I meant she was brought back to the mansion of Marquis Yining. At that time, the Queen Mother had a very good relationship with your grandmother, and she would often go to the mansion to visit her."

Jiang Si lowered his eyes and thought.

The woman from southern Xinjiang lived with her grandmother, and the empress dowager often visited her grandmother, which meant that the foreign woman knew the empress dowager.

Grandmother, Queen Mother, and the woman from southern Xinjiang, what exactly happened between these three people back then?

Seeing that Jiang Si was silent, Madam Feng said, "That's all I can think of. Regarding your eldest brother's matter—"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandma. With Big Brother's ability, there will be no problem. Big Brother will draw a good lottery this year."

Madam Feng couldn't help but smile: "Then I feel relieved."

Sun Er is a man of real talent and learning, but he is afraid that getting a bad grade like he did three years ago will affect his test scores. With Jiang Si's words, there will be no problem.

Jiang Si left Old Madam Feng and returned. As soon as she sat down, a maid came to report: "Princess, the prince is here to pick you up."
