Chapter 183 The illegitimate daughter became a goddaughter
"I don't care, I just want to be a princess!" Yao Jinse shook off the Queen Mother's hand, sat on the armchair, and got into a comfortable position.
"I can give you a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry, and I can also recommend your husband to the Emperor, and give him all the lucrative procurement projects in the palace." The Queen Mother looked a little flustered.
"I really can't give you the status of a princess!"
Yao Jinse curled the corners of her lips: "Empress Dowager, do you think that money can really impress me?"
"My husband Liang Xin is an imperial merchant and a powerful businessman in Daxia. The Liang family has wealth that the Jiang family can't achieve in several lifetimes. Do you think I will appreciate this little favor?"
The empress dowager's old face flushed: "But I really can't tell you the position of a princess!"
Yao Jinse stood up, looked directly into the empress dowager's eyes, and said coldly: "If you recognize me as your goddaughter, I will naturally be a princess. What's the difficulty?!"
The empress dowager was shocked: "But...but...your identity is just the wife of an imperial merchant..."
"Stop talking so much! If you don't agree, I will go to the emperor and tell him in person what happened more than 30 years ago." Yao Jinse said viciously.
The empress dowager's legs went limp and she sat down on the ground.
She never thought that her daughter would be such a person.
Insidious, cunning, and unpredictable, she is definitely not a good person.
After all, she is her own child.
Even if she is not good, it is her own fault, and she should pay the price for her actions back then.
"I promise you." The empress dowager murmured, her face was very ugly, with sadness, sorrow, and pain.
...
in the study.
A dark shadow flashed into the inner room.
"Reporting to your majesty, according to the spies, Yao Jinse and the Empress Dowager have been getting along closely these days. The two of them were alone in Yu Garden. I didn't hear what they said specifically."
"But it seems that Yao Jinse said something to the Empress Dowager, and then the Empress Dowager reacted very strongly, as if she was greatly shocked."
"After that, the two returned to Shoukang Palace and sent away all the palace people. They talked in secret for an hour. The spies only heard faint crying sounds in the house."
Xia Zhengqi frowned and remained silent.
Could it be that Yao Jinse had already revealed his identity to the Empress Dowager and the two recognized each other?
Xia Zhengqi had been thinking hard for most of the day.
He didn't know what Yao Jinse wanted to do by deliberately entering the palace.
However, before he could figure it out, he got an explosive piece of news.
The empress dowager suddenly issued an imperial decree, saying that Yao Jinse was quiet and dignified, beautiful and intelligent, and the empress dowager recognized her as her goddaughter and named her Princess Jinse.
"How ridiculous!"
Xia Zhengqi was furious when he took the copy of the empress dowager's imperial decree.
"Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea first to calm down." The queen said softly, and handed a cup of tea to Xia Zhengqi.
[Oh my, I didn't expect it. This time-traveling girl is really not simple. The previous plot of this life has been changed, but she can still play like this. ]
Xia Miaoyuan was shocked after hearing the content of the imperial decree.
In the book, Daxia was first usurped by foreign relatives, and then Jiang Taishi usurped the throne and became the emperor. He brought disaster to the country, and the people were living in poverty and the country was weak.
Under such circumstances, Liang Chaozong took his own power and easily took the capital and completed the feat of restoring the country.
As for Yao Jinse, he has always been by Liang Chaozong's side, acting as his think tank, right-hand man, and giving him countermeasures and advice.
In this life, under the influence of Xia Miaoyuan's voice, the Jiang family was greatly weakened, Daxia avoided the fate of being usurped by foreign companies, and Xia Zhengqi's throne became more stable.
In fact, under such circumstances, Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse's road to restoring the country has added many obstacles.
Unexpectedly, the time-traveling girl Yao Jinse could find another way and become the Empress Dowager's goddaughter.
Xia Zhengqi secretly glanced at his daughter and deliberately said: "If my guess is correct, now the Empress Dowager should have recognized Yao Jinse and her daughter."
"The spies have seen them chatting secretly, and the Empress Dowager was very emotional and cried bitterly."
With a "click", the toy in Xia Miaoyuan's hand fell to the ground.
[Ahhhhhh! Daddy, he actually already knew that Yao Jinse was the Empress Dowager's illegitimate daughter! ]
Xia Miaoyuan was so shocked that his mouth opened exaggeratedly and stared at Emperor Mingxi.
[Awesome! This intelligence system is amazing! It seems that these secret guards are not raised in vain! 】
Xia Zhengqi turned his back and tried hard to suppress the curled corners of his mouth.
I am so sorry, my precious daughter.
"Ahem!" The queen quickly pretended to clear her throat, prompting Xia Zhengqi to quickly control her expression.
"I also think that this possibility is very high." The queen looked worried.
"Perhaps, Yao Jinse used the relationship between the two as a bargaining chip to force the Empress Dowager to issue this imperial decree."
Xia Zhengqi nodded: "Ruoyu's analysis makes sense. The Empress Dowager is not a person who is keen on recognizing godchildren. She has recognized no goddaughters or godsons for decades."
"This time, she has only known Yao Jinse for ten days, and she has already recognized her as a goddaughter. There must be something fishy."
Xia Zhengqi held his forehead and sighed: "This Yao Jinse is obviously not a simple character. She has worked so hard to get the identity of a princess. I wonder what she will do next."
"I am really worried that Yao Jinse will use the Empress Dowager to help Liang Chaozong restore the country."
[Ahhhhhh! ] Xia Miaoyuan's pupils trembled again.
[Daddy actually knows that Liang Xin is Liang Chaozong? The
Queen gently stroked Xia Zhengqi's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, why worry? If we don't know the true identities of Yao Jinse and Liang Xin and are kept in the dark by them, we will be in a passive position."
"But now, they think they are very secretive and standing in the dark. In fact, we have already figured out their identities and have the upper hand."
"Next, as long as we keep a close eye on the Queen Mother, Yao Jinse, and Liang Chaozong, we will be able to control the situation in our own hands."
Xia Zhengqi listened and thought, then nodded in approval.
"My queen is truly a heroine!"
The queen lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.
[Haha, mother is so smart! Such a great analysis!]
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Xia Zhengqi and the queen, clapped her hands excitedly, and giggled.
[In fact, even if you use your toes to think about it, you can tell that since Concubine Xian was imprisoned in disguise, Liang Chaozong and his men have lost a key spy, and Yao Jinse is here to replace Concubine Xian.]
[After adopting a daughter and making her a princess, it won't be a difficult matter for her to enter the palace in the future. And with this identity, Liang Chaozong's business will be more successful.]
Xia Zhengqi and the queen both showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
My daughter is really a fairy from heaven. She is so smart and can think things through so thoroughly.
...
Liang Chaozong's private residence in the capital.
A sumptuous banquet was set up in the flower hall.
"Madam, you are a great contributor this time! Come, I'll toast you a glass."
Yao Jinse smiled happily, "Thank you, my husband."
