From the words of Mrs. Zhuang and Wu, it can be heard that the person who wants Princess Runan to choose her as a surrogate marriage should be Wu.

However, Mrs. Zhuang should have acquiesced, otherwise it would not have been the ones around her who would have invited her.

"I see that Miss Jiang looks very good. She must be stuck in the house and has not come out to walk around, so she will get sick. As long as you walk more, your body will be fine." The Concubine Runan grabbed Jiang Changning's hand and gently stroked it to show her closeness.

The actions of the Concubine Runan made Jiang Changning feel uncomfortable and his body froze. He pulled out his hand and deliberately brought the teacup on the table, "Please drink tea with Empress."

"Okay." The Concubine Runan looked at her with a smile, as if she was watching a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

In a moment, Jiang Changning had already thought of a ruling word, "What the concubine said was that my illness was brought out of my womb. The doctor asked me to rest in the room and not to walk around."

"Miss Jiang is not only good-looking, but also smart. The more I look at her, the more I like her, the more I want to accept her as a goddaughter, but I don't know if the old lady can bear it?" The Concubine Runan believed that she was noble in her status and showed up without any scruples.

It is easy for a noble concubine to bully an orphan who has no father, no mother, no support, and there is no need to go around.

Although Jiang Changning was furious, she looked calm and wanted to see how Mrs. Zhuang responded.

Wu said first, "It is the fate of this child to be loved by the Empress."

Old Lady Zhuang glanced at her coldly. Jiang Changning, who had short-sighted eyes, was an orphan girl who was dependent on the banker. If she was accepted by the Concubine Runan and sent to marry on behalf of others, how could the banker have the face?

Besides, Jiang Changning has a beautiful appearance. If he can be sent to the palace or marry into a marriage, it will be very good for the dealer.

Being sent to marry on behalf of others can only get temporary benefits.

Wu curled his lips and turned his head away. What was she wrong?

Zou's expression was a cold expression that was not about himself and he did not care about his own efforts.

"This girl is not good for her to get tired of her body. The imperial physician repeatedly advised her that she could not be exhausted and laborious, so she let her stay at home. She had never learned about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red needles, and had never seen any great world and could not bear the empress's love for her." Old Mrs. Zhuang politely rejected the request of the Concubine Runan to accept Jiang Changning as her goddaughter.

When she asked the maid to invite Jiang Changning to come, she regretted it. She just couldn't call anyone back in front of the Concubine Runan.

"The old lady is too humble. If such a smart and charming child is not good, then there will be few good girls in the world." The Concubine Runan smiled.

"There are so many good girls in this capital." Old Mrs. Zhuang's implication was to ask the Concubine Runan to find another girl.

The Concubine Runan did not respond, but looked at Jiang Changning up and down carefully. Her skin was white, tender and smooth, her long and curved eyebrows, her eyes were as dark as gems, and her red lips were slightly pursed.

Such bright and charming looks are more beautiful than the Empress Dowager who was named the harem for her beauty back then.

It is indeed a pity to send such a beautiful woman to a marriage marriage.

But who made her an orphan girl? She was sent to marry her.

The eyes of the Concubine Runan fell on Jiang Changning's purse, and white gardenias were embroidered on the light green brocade.

She reached out and held her purse in her hand, "Look, these stitches are fine and the flower embroidery is lifelike. Such exquisite embroidery is even better than the embroiderer who has been aged."

"The concubine praised it, Changning felt ashamed." Jiang Changning lowered her head and pretended to be shy. "This purse was embroidered by Changning's wet nurse, not by Changning."

Wu stared at Jiang Changning, with annoyance and anger. This girl was too ignorant and didn't know how to follow the words of the concubine.

The Concubine Runan heard the old lady Zhuang's refusal and also saw Jiang Changning's resistance, but she made up her mind to use Jiang Changning to replace her daughter, "Changning, my mother is really in love, I also like this gardenia."

"This is a coincidence. I didn't expect that the Empress also likes gardenias." Jiang Changning said, untied her purse and sent it to the hands of the Concubine Runan for her to play with it.

As Jiang Changning expected, the Concubine Runan discovered something in her purse, "What delicious food is it?"

"It's not something to eat, it's a golden lock." Jiang Changning smiled.

"What kind of golden lock is it? If you treasure it like this, you have to take a good look." The Concubine Runan took out the golden lock and saw that the color was a bit dim. It was not a new one, but an old thing.

The Concubine Runan thought it was the long-lived lock that Jiang Changning wore when he was a child, but when she saw the lock piece engraved with seal characters, the word "Jin Shu" was slightly changed.

Jinshu is the queen mother’s name!

"Where did the girl get this golden lock?" asked the concubine of Runan.

Old Lady Zhuang and others heard the tone of the concubine, and they all looked over.

There is not much difference between the golden lock and the golden lock worn by ordinary wealthy families for their children.

Why did the Concubine Runan so nervously ask about the origin?

"If you want to go back to the concubine, this golden lock was given to me by a wife." Jiang Changning replied.

"What kind of lady is it?" asked the Concubine Runan.

"The lady has a beautiful and beautiful appearance, a dignified expression, and a kind of noble temperament that is inviolable." Jiang Changning intended to compliment the Queen Mother, "There is a cinnabar mole on her eyebrows."

The most obvious sign of the Queen Mother today is the cinnabar mole on the middle of her eyebrows.

"Why have you never said this before?" Wu asked dissatisfied.

If I had known that Jiang Changning had had such a friendship with the Empress Dowager, the dealer would have definitely gone a step further.

"My father once warned that he would not be able to repay kindness, not to mention that it was just a small task and there was no need to mention it." Jiang Changning said calmly.

Wu gritted his teeth and pulled the handkerchief hard in his hand. This difficult girl!

He didn't mention it, but he brought the golden lock with him.

The Concubine Runan looked at Jiang Changning with a hint of scrutiny.

This girl is not as weak and unscrupulous as Zhuang Qingru said at all.

"In what year did Miss Jiang come to Beijing?" asked the Concubine Runan.

"Early winter of the 14th year of Chenglong."

"That's six years ago."

"Yes."

Six years ago, the late emperor was seriously ill and secretly arranged to be framed by the imperial concubine and the eldest prince, and the Concubine Li and the Third Prince who were away from Lingnan returned to Beijing.

The imperial concubine and the eldest prince sent a large number of killers to chase and kill Concubine Li and the third prince to prevent the mother and son from entering Beijing. Jiang Changning was on the way and saved Concubine Li and the third prince by chance.

The same boat lasted for seven days and got along well.

Concubine Li deliberately left the golden lock as a certificate and made a promise that she would be rewarded with all the rewards.

Later, the first emperor passed away, and the third prince ascended the throne with the strong support of several princes, and Concubine Li was also named the Empress Dowager of the Holy Mother.

Jiang Changning didn't want to get involved with the royal family and kept hiding this matter, but he didn't want to be forced to take it out today.
