Xie Lingxi's lazy voice said calmly, "If you see it, you will see it. The medicine is already in your hands. Who can stop me?"
The followers they brought were all disguised as secret guards.
The convoy on the opposite side couldn't stop them at all.
You can pick up and leave without even having to deal with them.
"Xiang Cheng, the Minister of Rites, must have something to do with Princess Anyang." Jiang Rong's eyes flashed slightly.
She remembered Jiang Wenxing's provincial examination. The examiner was Xiang Cheng, the Minister of Rites.
Jiang Wenxing, who couldn't even pass the scholar examination, passed the provincial examination hosted by Xiang Cheng...
This is a bit strange.
However, Jiang Wenxing's case was closed, and how he cheated in the foreign examination was not announced.
It must be because the Mingxin Division did not find any substantial evidence.
If there is no confirmation, Mingxin Division cannot announce it to the public.
"Meet her. If we find out, we'll run away." Jiang Rong looked at Xie Lingxi.
She wanted to talk to this Xiang.
Maybe I can get some words out of it.
Princess Anyang was setting up a trap to deal with her, but now she didn't even know anything about any grudges.
If you can get more information, maybe... it will be of unexpected use.
"Okay." Xie Lingxi nodded slightly, stood up, and sat on the floor behind her soft couch with her knees bent.
The carriage ordered by the eldest princess is very spacious.
There is a large couch, a coffee table, a screen and other items.
Xie Lingxi was sitting behind her.
If something unexpected happens, he can protect her immediately.
Xiao Nanxing presented a pill to Jiang Rong and hid in the corner of the carriage. He has a good reputation as Doctor Xiao, so he should stay away to avoid being recognized.
Feicui followed Jiang Rong to serve. He was also afraid that his face would be remembered, so he hid behind the cage with Xiao Nanxing.
A few inconspicuous third-class maids were replaced to serve him.
There is a layer of bead curtains in front of the big couch, and only the silhouette of the figure on the couch can be vaguely seen, but the facial features cannot be clearly seen.
Wait until everything is ready.
Jiang Rong took the pill and said, "Invite her in..."
The voice has become hoarse.
……
Xiang took her daughter into the carriage at the eldest princess's residence.
"Zhen'er, look at the eldest princess's carriage, how luxurious and noble it is. If you can become the imperial concubine, you can have such a beautiful scene in the future!" Xiang said in a low voice.
Nodding to Zhen'er, "My daughter understands."
The mother and daughter entered the carriage and saluted, "Greetings to the eldest princess, please greet the eldest princess!"
"Cough cough cough... no need... cough cough, give me a seat -" Jiang Rong coughed, his voice hoarse.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with your throat?" Xiang Shi asked with concern.
The maid standing nearby said:
"Your Highness feels cold and feels unwell. If you need anything, please tell me immediately. Your Highness will take medicine and rest soon."
Naturally, Xiang didn't expect that the person sitting here was not the eldest princess herself.
It is very common to have a hoarse voice due to illness and cannot hear the original voice.
"It's really inappropriate to disturb His Highness's recovery. It's just that today I am returning to Beijing with my daughter. I happened to meet you on a trip, and I don't know when you will return to Beijing. I am afraid that I will not find you when I look back, so I came here to see you." Mr. Xiang was polite. said.
She went to her ancestral home a month ago to pick up her daughter and return to Beijing.
At this moment, I met the eldest princess driving in her car on the road...
He didn't know what the eldest princess was going to do or how long she would be there for, so she was afraid of missing her, so she hurriedly caught up.
"It doesn't matter-" Jiang Rong coughed twice more.
Xiang then continued, "Next month is the draft. My daughter, Zhen'er, will participate in this year's draft. But I don't know if Your Majesty will like it. Think about it, if you recommend your daughter to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will definitely I will keep my little girl!”
The emperor was in middle age.
If nothing else, I can live for a long time...
Therefore, many aristocratic families actively send women to the palace to participate in the draft.
The draft regulations in Daxia are voluntary.
If a woman from an official family is willing, she can register for the draft every three years. And once the emperor favors him, the whole family will prosper.
Jiang Rong secretly speculated...
The Xiang family first made a request to Princess Anyang without giving any benefits first...
It shows that their family has already given this benefit.
Princess Anyang probably owed the Xiang family a favor.
Otherwise, when asking for help, there is no way to just tell someone what to do without giving him a big gift.
"Okay." Jiang Rong agreed.
Whether he can stay in the draft is really not something outsiders can control.
But for the emperor's sister and the empress dowager's beloved daughter, Princess Anyang only needs to say a few words and praise her in front of her mother and brother...
The possibility of staying is almost certain.
"Thank you, Princess!" Xiang's face was full of joy, and then she said:
"As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. I am afraid that this child will have some accidents in the palace. If the Queen Mother can take care of her, it will be a blessing..."
"I recently found a very rare luminous pearl, and I want to present it to the Queen Mother. However, I have never had any friendship with the Queen Mother, and I have no chance to meet..."
Xiang wanted to give a gift to the Queen Mother, but she didn't even have a chance to meet her.
"I also found a set of pearls from the East China Sea. They are very exquisite and perfectly match the charming face of His Highness."
The servant accompanying her presented two gift boxes.
The maid took it.
Presented to Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong saw it clearly.
Even if Xiang could see the Queen Mother, it would be very abrupt to suddenly send a gift and ask for help from the Queen Mother.
For this kind of thing, you have to find a middleman...
Jiang Rong didn't speak.
The former thing is a simple effort and a favor. But the last thing was to persuade the Queen Mother to take care of a new concubine, which was a bit troublesome.
Seeing that the eldest princess remained silent, Xiang quickly said:
"If the little girl does something in the palace and allows me to get your majesty's attention, I will be more useful to you in the future. Now I can only preside over the provincial examination. If I can preside over the national examination in the future, I can also help you." ."
"With your talent, your young master deserves to be a Jinshi."
Jiang Rong's eyes were clear.
Help again. Rural examination and general examination.
She understood what kind of favor the eldest princess owed before.
Her son was able to pass the provincial examination because he told the minister about the questions.
But now, Xiang Shi deliberately brought this matter up in order to gain favor...
He promised to host the examination in the future and revealed the questions again.
Jiang Rong didn't agree. With Princess Anyang's character, how could she just want her to help?
This doesn't suit her greedy and shameless nature.
There was silence in the carriage.
Xiang gritted his teeth and took out a prepared gift box from his arms and presented it:
"I have ten thousand taels of silver with me, which I will give to the eldest princess. I hope Your Highness will accept it."
Obviously, Xiang also knew the temperament of the eldest princess very well, and even had money prepared.
It's just that she was stingy and didn't take out the money right away.
Seeing that the eldest princess did not accept her promise, she gave it to her.
"Mrs. Xiang is interested. I will give the night pearl to the queen for you." Jiang Rong finally spoke, his tone was much kinder than before.
Xiang Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Rong's words and deeds were very consistent with Princess Anyang, and Xiang had no doubts at all.
