Chapter 14 Cousin
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout quickly.
Jiang Xian thought of his previous life, Xiao Rongniang and Zhao Xi suddenly appeared like this, and he felt more and more that Zhao Yi and Xiao Rongniang were in a relationship, and Zhao Xi was after Zhao Yi ascended the throne and found a way to obtain the genealogy jade certificate.
Poor she never doubted Xiao Rongniang and Zhao Xi, and she had never noticed these things in her previous life.
Jiang Xian slowly drank tea.
Thinking about Zhao Yi's previous life, he favored Xiao Rongniang alone. Zhao Xi's background was hidden so tightly. If Zhao Xi was really born quietly by Xiao Rongniang's reputation, the lover came forward and could not only find out what he could not find out, but might also shock the snake and attract Zhao Yi's suspicion and lose his life.
She whispered to the lover: "You check all the palace maids and female officials of Cining Palace, Kunning Palace and Ganqing Palace for me again. The names and people must match the numbers. Focus on those who are still in these three palaces but are working in other places. But don't look at the people who are not in these three palaces. Do you understand what I mean?"
At this point, it became strange. Qingke naturally knew that it was amazing. He nodded repeatedly, afraid that he would be silenced, his palms were covered in sweat, and he quietly retreated.
Jiang Xian lay on the bed thinking about whom to ask Xiao Rongniang about it.
This person must be able to enter and exit the Forbidden Palace freely, and also have to be close to the eunuchs in the Interior Palace and the Inner Palace, and be able to check the list of personnel in the Inner Palace without any hesitation... Cao Xuan is of course the most suitable candidate. But she cannot let Cao Xuan do this. When Empress Dowager Cao loses power, these things may become the charges of Cao Xuan's spy on the inner court. This crime alone can make Cao Xuan lose his life.
Who else is suitable?
Jiang Xian racked his brains and suddenly remembered someone.
Her other cousin, Wang Zan, the crown prince of Chengenbo's mansion.
After all, he was only eighteen years old this year. He was working as a sword guard in the Imperial Guard. He often went to and from the palace. However, he was silent and followed the rules. With Cao Xuan in front, not many people noticed him.
After Jiang Xian became the empress dowager, he mentioned that he was the commander of the Imperial Guards.
During the seven years when she was in power behind the curtain, although Wang Zan did not make any contribution, he never made any mistakes.
When she became the queen, she felt that a person like Wang Zan was just an honest and loyal person. After she became the queen mother and began to mediate major affairs in the court, she realized that it was more difficult to make mistakes than to make meritorious contributions, not to mention that she had not made any mistakes in the position of commander of the Imperial Guards for seven consecutive years.
Only then did Jiang Xian feel that Wang Zan is a talent that is not inferior to Cao Xian.
Early the next morning, she and Bai Su went to Dongnuan Pavilion.
The Empress Dowager was not here yet, and the Empress Dowager was doing her makeup.
Jiang Xian helped the Empress Dowager pick up jewelry and asked Mrs. Cheng Enbo: "When did my cousin's aunt leave? I haven't seen her for some days. I was going to come over to ask her yesterday..."
According to the rules of the palace, if a woman in the outside world wants to meet her, she must submit a memorial in advance. The empress in charge of the six palaces is accurate before she can enter the palace. The empress dowager, who is noble in the status of the empress dowager, did not establish a queen, and Empress Dowager Cao, who is still in charge of the phoenix seal of the six palaces, has always given enough face to the empress dowager in these matters. So when Mrs. Cheng Enbo handed the memorial yesterday, Empress Dowager Cao was correct. However, Mrs. Cheng Enbo came and went in a hurry, and said a few words to the empress dowager and said goodbye. This made Jiang Xian feel that his grandmother wanted to borrow Mrs. Cheng Enbo's mouth to hand over the news of the amnesty of the palace maids and the female official to her uncle Jiang Zhenyuan.
The Empress Dowager disregarded her and said with a smile: "Your cousin is in a bad state these days. Your cousin is busy taking care of your cousin. I am also worried about your cousin, so I let her go back. If you miss her, I will let her come to the palace to see you in two days."
Is it because I think it’s an adult’s business, so it’s better for children not to participate, right?
Jiang Xian thought, but a little coquettish look appeared on his face and said, "Grandma, I don't want to see my cousin, I want to see my cousin Azan's cousin-I have something to do with him!"
The Empress Dowager laughed and pointed the double-life gilded hairpin filled with jade stones that Jiang Xian chose for her, and said, "Every child, every family, if you have any questions, you still have to find your cousin Azan?"
Jiang Xian took the hairpin from the hand of the palace maid who combed his hair, helped the empress dowager on it, and said coquettishly: "Don't ask! Anyway, I have something to do with him. Please help me announce his entry into the palace."
The Empress Dowager has always been doting Jiang Xian, so why would he not agree to such a small matter?
Then he asked Meng Fangling to go to Xuan Wang Zan to enter the palace and said, "If you are on duty, just say to his peak and let him come."
Meng Fangling went away with a smile.
After an hour, I brought Wang Zan over.
Wang Zan walked in in a green uniform of a sixth-rank guard and stood tall. The bright light at noon shone on his face, looking more and more handsome.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but flow out from the corners of her eyebrows when she saw the pleasant smile. After he finished giving the salute, he repeatedly ordered the palace maid to bring the Grand Master's chair to Wang Zan and put it next to him.
Wang Zan thanked him repeatedly, his voice respectfully and enthusiastically, which made people feel good about it.
Jiang Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Why is Bai Su not interested in Wang Zan?
Wang Zan is also very beautiful!
Moreover, his personality, ability, and character are not inferior to Cao Xuan...
Jiang Xian and Bai Su stepped forward to meet Wang Zan and took Wang Zan to the Imperial Garden of Cining Palace.
Wang Zan was embarrassed, his fair face flushed and looked at the Empress Dowager at a loss.
The Empress Dowager smiled even more and said kindly: "Your cousin said you had something to ask you. I asked what it was, but she didn't dare to tell me. If there was something, your cousin said to go. If she dares to bully you, you will just tell me. I will punish her to copy the Heart Sutra a hundred times."
Wang Zan is gentle in nature. When the Empress Dowager called to the palace to play with Jiang Xian, he always followed Jiang Xian quietly. Jiang Xian did whatever he said. Even if Jiang Xian went to climb a tree, he would only stand under the tree nervously and stretch out his arms to protect her instead of scolding her. If she did something wrong or caused trouble, he would definitely be the one who took the blame and was scolded.
He smiled warmly and said with a good temper: "It's okay, it's okay. Then Baoning and I will go to the Imperial Garden."
The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile and told Dingxiang and others: "Bring your cloak, be careful not to let Baoning catch a cold... The weather is cold, don't drink flower tea for her, drink Laojun Mei... I have to bring a few cotton mats and leather mats. The wind blows on my body and it will be chilling, and the stone stool must be frozen..."
It seems like she was going out for a spring outing.
Jiang Xian was covered in black and said, "Grandma, I just say a few words to Azan's cousin, and there is no need to bring the palace maids and eunuchs." As he said that, he pulled Wang Zan and ran away.
Wang Zan nodded to the Empress Dowager and hurriedly followed her out the door.
Bai Su was thrown in the East Nuan Pavilion, with a look of shock.
"Don't worry about them." The Empress Dowager smiled and comforted her, "Boning is still like a child who has not grown up, and I don't know when it will be possible to determine it."
Without a certainty, he encouraged her to find a husband like a couple?
Bai Su thought of what Jiang Xian said to her that night, and had no idea how to talk to the Empress Dowager.
