In Kunning Palace, the Queen was waiting for Jiang Si and the other man with a smile on her face.

Princess Fuqing sat on one side, with a hint of sadness between her brows. When she heard the eunuch report that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had arrived, she forced herself to cheer up.

Soon Jiang Si and Yu Jin came in and paid their respects to the Queen.

The Queen said in a warm tone: "We are all family, please don't be so polite, please take a seat."

The three words "family" made Jiang Si glance at Yu Jin.

I heard that A-Jian used this as an excuse to get close to Master Zhen...

Yu Jin showed no sign of abnormality and sat down with a smile.

"It must have been a bit tiring to seal the title yesterday," the Queen asked with a smile.

Yu Jin said hurriedly: "It is Father and Mother who are working hard."

The queen smiled and invited the two to have tea.

After sitting for a cup of tea, Yu Jin stood up and said, "My father ordered me to go to Wenhua Hall to study every day, so I will go there first."

Speaking of this, Yu Jin became angry.

In front of Asi, his father reminded him to remember to study. Does he think he is an unlearned idiot?

This is intolerable.

The Queen heard this and couldn't help laughing, saying, "Don't delay the Crown Prince's hard study. Go quickly. The Crown Princess will stay for lunch."

Yu Jin nodded slightly to Jiang Si and left Kunning Palace alone.

Without Yu Jin present, the atmosphere became more relaxed.

The Queen asked Jiang Si a few questions with concern, glanced at Princess Fuqing, and sighed, "You and Fuqing have always gotten along well, you two should have a good chat, I'll go take care of some trivial matters first."

As soon as the queen left, Princess Fuqing bit her lip and took the initiative to say, "Congratulations, sister-in-law."

Jiang Si looked at Princess Fuqing steadily, and said with concern: "Thirteenth sister has lost weight."

Princess Fuqing shuddered, her eyes slowly turned red, and after a while she whispered, "Sister-in-law, do you think I'm an unlucky person?"

"Thirteenth sister, don't underestimate yourself."

Princess Fuqing shook her head: "I am not belittling myself. Two years ago, my fifteenth sister died for me, and not long ago, my fourteenth sister died because of me. Whenever I think about these, I feel that I have committed a grave sin."

Jiang Si reached out and placed his hand on the back of Princess Fuqing's hand, and said softly, "Thirteenth sister, you shouldn't think like that."

“Shouldn’t I?” Princess Fuqing pursed her lips and murmured, “Seventh sister-in-law, to be honest, sometimes I even feel that if my eyes hadn’t been cured, perhaps these tragic things wouldn’t have happened, and Fourteenth Sister and Fifteenth Sister would have lived well.”

Jiang Si held Princess Fuqing's hand with increased strength, and said in a firm tone: "Thirteenth sister, thinking like this will only make your relatives sad and your enemies happy. The misfortune of Fourteenth and Fifteenth sister is not an accident, but man-made, and you are also a victim. When misfortune happens, how can you blame the victim instead of the perpetrator?"

Princess Fuqing shook her eyes and looked at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si continued to persuade her, "Have you ever thought about our mother while you are suffering like this? That man is hiding in the dark and is determined to harm you. If your eyes are not cured, or if something else happens, our mother may not be able to bear it. Thirteenth sister, if you think that the misfortunes of Fourteenth and Fifteenth sisters are all your fault, and you become depressed, you are torturing our mother and indirectly helping the perpetrators."

Princess Fuqing obviously had not considered it from this angle. She was stunned for a moment and murmured, "Then...what should I do?"

"Finding the real culprit and letting the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Sisters rest in peace is what we should do."

"Will you find it?"

Jiang Si nodded, "Yes. Thirteenth sister should have heard the saying, the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. Your seventh brother and I will get to the bottom of it, and the first thing you need to do is to cheer up. You can't collapse before you defeat the enemy."

Princess Fuqing was silent for a while, then nodded heavily: "I understand."

Princess Fuqing has a cheerful personality. Once she resolves her worries, she immediately looks full of energy.

When the queen returned, she noticed the change in her daughter and was overjoyed. She looked at Jiang Si with gratitude.

The seventh daughter-in-law deserves to be her legitimate daughter-in-law and brings her good luck every time.

After lunch, Princess Fuqing returned to her bedroom, while the Queen stayed with Jiang Si for a while longer.

She was also supporting the Crown Princess who had just moved into the East Palace.

Having been kept for such a long time, it is natural to see that the Queen loves and values ​​the Crown Princess.

"You are going to the Cining Palace today. Is the Empress Dowager okay?"

The Queen's question was apparently about the Queen Mother's health, but in reality she was asking about her attitude towards Jiang Si and his wife.

Jiang Si's eyes darkened, but he said, "The Queen Mother is very well."

The Queen's expression suddenly became subtle.

The seventh son's wife obviously said one thing and meant another, and she didn't even call the Empress Dowager Imperial Grandmother, which shows that she has some feelings towards her.

The Queen glanced around and signaled the trusted palace maids who stayed behind to serve her to leave.

Jiang seemed to have a puzzled look.

The Queen gently patted the back of Jiang Si's hand and asked, "Did the Queen Mother embarrass you?"

Jiang Si was stunned, as if he had not expected the Queen to ask this.

The queen said gently, "Now that you have moved into the East Palace, we will be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who will see each other day and night. If you have any grievances, tell me."

She had long been suspicious of the Queen Mother, and felt isolated and helpless in the huge palace. If the Crown Princess could agree with her, there might be unexpected gains.

The prerequisite for forming an alliance with the Crown Princess is that she must take the initiative to express a certain attitude. Otherwise, the Crown Princess is not a reckless person and would not easily reveal her views on the Queen Mother.

The queen's words made Jiang Si happy.

She had just revealed some of her depressed mood, perhaps to test the Queen's attitude, and the Queen did not disappoint her.

She took the initiative to provoke the Queen Mother's anger so that she could not hold back and would take action again, thereby gaining more clues so as to expose the Queen Mother's true face at the right time. This process was not without crises, but at the critical moment, a word from the Queen might be of great help.

Jiang Si said softly: "The Queen Mother is kind and generous, so why would she make things difficult for me? It's just that——"

"Just what?"

Jiang Si lowered her eyes, feeling a little uneasy: "I just don't know why my daughter-in-law felt uneasy as soon as she entered Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother's smile also made me inexplicably uncomfortable. Mother should know that my daughter-in-law is more sensitive to certain things..."

The Queen could not help but hold Jiang Si's hand, her eyes burning as she asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with the Queen Mother?"

Jiang Si shook his eyes and nodded hesitantly.

The queen felt relieved and looked at Jiang Si.

After a moment, both of them laughed.

After the new crown prince moved into the East Palace, the imperial palace seemed to have entered a rare period of peace.

July passed in the blink of an eye, and the autumn examination in August was very lively. It is worth mentioning that Jiang Cang, the eldest son of the Dongping Earl's Mansion, won the third place on the list, making the Dongping Earl's Mansion even more glorious. The second old man Jiang was even walking in a daze, and old lady Feng even went to Baiyun Temple to burn incense in person.

By the end of September, the weather had turned cooler. Jiang Si received a message from outside the palace and took the opportunity to leave the palace and return to her parents' home to secretly meet Elder Hua.

Elder Hua brought her the reply from the Great Elder.

"Saint, the Great Elder has chosen you."

"Well, I wonder how the Queen Mother will solve this problem?" Jiang Si asked calmly.
