Chapter 385 Mother has no confidence
The second princess knows a thing or two about Concubine De's ways of dealing with the world, but Concubine De never lets her children see her viciousness, so generally speaking, the second princess is not a fool.
She just can't get over the hurdle in her heart, and because she can't get over it, she makes things difficult for herself and others.
But Jiang Xinyue is not used to her, so she has no reason to be hypocritical.
The anger in her heart was dispelled by the eldest princess's scolding, and the second princess felt a little embarrassed. She felt that what she had done in the past few days was just like jumping up and down like Xiao Chou.
If the Queen Mother really wanted to make a fuss, she would have been unable to stay in this palace long ago. She also thought about contacting her grandfather's old subordinates after leaving the palace to make her unhappy.
Now think about it, why wait until she leaves the palace?
In the palace, she would be forced to marry the prince of Fuso and become a rat that everyone would shout and beat.
What else does she have to do after leaving the palace?
"Are you embarrassed? Do you want your sister to go with you?"
The second princess, who had regained her sanity, looked at the eldest princess with sparkling eyes and nodded vigorously: "Yes... I really need it!"
In Kunning Palace, Ruan took a sip of fragrant tea and handed her the letter written by Jiang Yankun: "If your father writes something nonsense in the letter, don't pay attention to him. Now there are more and more conspirators under his tutelage. I think he is a little arrogant. He even wants to marry the general of the cavalry."
There is only one Yan Sanlang in the general of the cavalry who has not married yet. He is a family that can marry a princess. He is a minister of the Ministry of Justice. He really thinks too much.
Jiang Xinyue read the letter while listening to Ruan's chattering: "Even though you are now the empress and the sixth prince is the crown prince, I am always worried that the emperor will be suspicious of you, that the concubines in the harem will plot against you, that you are too popular and those ministers will impeach you. I really dare not take a wrong step."
Jiang Xinyue smiled: "Don't worry, mother. Everything is fine in the palace. The emperor loves me and the crown prince very much and is afraid that I will be... "I heard that some ladies from aristocratic families laughed at you in front of you
for being a dancer in the Ruyang Palace. Did you slap them in the face?" Ruan shrank her head and said coquettishly, "Does the emperor know
about this? I have caused you trouble, haven't I?"
“How could it be?”
Jiang Xinyue comforted her: “When the emperor found out, he called their husbands to the study room and gave them a good scolding. You are the biological mother of the current empress, the grandmother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the first-rank lady of the imperial court appointed by the emperor himself. Who do they think they are? How dare they discuss your background? It is mother’s kindness to slap them in the face. If I were there, I would tear their mouths apart and take their surnames.”
Ruan was amused: “Then your father might not agree.”
Jiang Yankun has been very proud of himself recently. The Jiang family has officially made him the patriarch. Their branch has been promoted from a concubine to a legitimate one. He can control the family finances and his status has also risen.
Several outstanding sons and nephews of the Jiang family have either passed the imperial examinations and become successful, or have been assigned to various government offices. They will have great room for promotion in the future.
The Jiang family is already the top wealthy family in Dayan. Who can her sister marry?
What's wrong with the son of the general of the cavalry?
As long as her sister likes him, the poor people are fine. If her sister doesn't like him, the royals and nobles will have to stand aside.
The cheap father was still clear in the letter. He said that it was Yan Sanlang who fell in love with Yan Jie'er at the palace banquet, and he deliberately designed to meet Yan Jie'er several times at other banquets, and rescued Yan Jie'er twice. As a result, Yan Sanlang was able to talk to Yan Jie'er.
There is also a second girl in the general of the cavalry mansion, who is about the same age as Yan Jie'er. She has always acted as a matchmaker between her brother and Yan Jie'er, and often asks Yan Jie'er out for fun.
It's not that Yan Jie'er has been going back and forth, and Yan Jie'er has also fallen in love with Yan Sanlang.
The eldest princess said that Yan Sanlang didn't have a lover yet because Yan Sanlang concealed it very well and no one found out.
Before making up his mind, or before confirming Jiang Xinyan's feelings, he didn't want any rumors to spread, which would ruin Jiang Xinyan's reputation and make it difficult for her to be engaged in the future.
Jiang Xinyue also said to Ruan: "Mother said that Sister Yan is not worthy of the wealthy family of the General of the Cavalry. I don't agree with this. When I first entered the palace, I was just a little noble. No one expected that I would become the queen today, right? Mother, don't always belittle yourself. What's wrong with being a dancer? This has prevented you from giving birth to such an outstanding daughter like me and bringing glory to the whole family. Are they honored? Their family backgrounds are good, can they become imperial ladies? Can their daughters become empresses? Can their grandsons become princes? Sister Yan is my sister and the prince's aunt, she is more than suitable for anyone."
That's what she said...
but her eldest daughter is too promising, which makes her worried, and her second daughter marries into a family with too high status, so she is still worried that her daughters will be bullied.
In the final analysis, she thinks that her family background is too bad, or it may be that too many people look down on her identity and always look at her with strange eyes, so she always habitually belittles herself.
When good things come to her, the first thing she thinks about is not anything else, but whether she deserves it?
When it came to her own children, she also felt that they were inferior to others, and that if they married into those wealthy families, they would be looked down upon and bullied by them.
Jiang Xinyue sighed: "Mother also knows that her daughter has a hard time in the palace. The prince will have no one to support him in the future. I'm afraid his road will be even more difficult than hers. If my mother's family had power, it would be great, and the prince wouldn't have to work so hard, but..."
"Don't say anymore!"
Ruan stood up from the chair, and her shivering body finally straightened up. She said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "It was that Yan Sanlang who fell in love with my sister Yan, not that sister Yan was clinging to him. Our sister Yan is beautiful, virtuous, well-educated, kind and filial. There are few people in the capital who can compare to her. It is a blessing for his cavalry general's mansion to marry our sister Yan."
"Empress, the eldest princess and the second princess request to see you."
Shuangjiang winked at Jiang Xinyue to tell her that the eldest princess and the second princess had heard the conversation between the Empress and the lady just now.
If the emperor came, a secret signal would be sent outside, but since there are only two princesses, there is no need for that.
It's not something shameful.
The second princess saluted and greeted Jiang Xinyue with some trepidation. Yan Sanlang already has someone he likes, and the person he likes is the empress's younger sister?
Then how can she ask for a marriage?
"Get up! The sun is rising from the west today. Why are you two here together?"
The eldest princess often comes, and this is said to the second princess.
The second princess blushed again and knelt on the ground and said, "Mother, it was Mingzhu's fault before. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against Mingzhu."
