The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

The courtyard wall is no longer mottled, and a few pink plum trees are planted. Glazed bricks are laid all the way from the hall to the courtyard.

It cost a huge amount of money.

Jiang Lingyue almost didn't recognize that this was the courtyard where she had lived for more than ten years.

She left the palace to get married, and officials from the Ministry of Rites came to inspect her two days ago.

The Jiang family was once implicated in Shen's case. Although they were later cleared of the charges, no one could be too cautious when it came to the queen's safety.

So, before Jiang Lingyue arrived, the Dragon Guards and several maids and eunuchs checked the yard inside and out again.

She was welcomed in smoothly.

The room had already been lit with golden charcoal, and it was warm as soon as I entered. I took off my fox fur coat and sat down in the main seat.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Jiang Lingyue finally felt like meeting the Jiang family.

She put down her teacup and raised her chin to Madam Qian beside her, "Let them in."

A group of five people.

Jiang Shao is in front.

Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu followed their father's footsteps, half a shoulder behind him, and behind them were their wives.

After standing still, the five of them bowed together, performing the ceremony meticulously in front of the ceremonial officials and palace maids.

Jiang Lingyue nodded gently and said, "Everyone, please stand up and take your seats."

The voice was soft, yet carried an authority that could not be ignored.

Jiang Shao's body stiffened, and he stood up to thank En.

He sat down halfway and raised his eyelids slightly to look at his daughter sitting above him.

I was just stunned.

Jiang Lingyue has been in charge of the inner court for half her life, and her demeanor is simply incomparable to that of a girl waiting to be married in the boudoir.

That is the aura that can only be cultivated by being in a high position for a long time.

In the eyes of the Jiang family, he was like two different people after not seeing him for several months.

The face is still the same, but...

People will no longer be the ones who allow themselves to be manipulated, bullied, and controlled by them.

The top priority is to try to ease the relationship between her and the Jiang family.

Jiang Shao's eyes welled up with tears as he choked back his words, "When the Shen case broke out, I heard that the Empress was suffering from a divine intoxication. I was truly restless and prayed day and night at the ancestral temple. Now that I see that the Empress is safe, I am truly relieved."

Jiang Lingyue's fingertips stiffened slightly, and the action of scraping the tea foam stopped.

Seemingly moved.

Jiang Shao was delighted and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was completely unaware of the poisonous situation caused by the Immortal Drunkenness. This was all caused by that evil woman. Please don't harbor any resentment towards your family."

"Now that the evil woman has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and has been brought to justice immediately, it truly brings a sense of relief."

They lived under the same roof as father and daughter for more than ten years.

Jiang Lingyue had seen him speak harshly, had been scolded coldly by him, and had even seen him wield a whip.

Of course, more of it is his indifference to himself.

When I was young, my father was like a mountain that I could not cross or disobey.

Majestic and terrifying.

Even in the previous two lives, the Jiang family did not have a good ending.

But after Jiang Lingyue entered the palace, she no longer interacted with them and never ridiculed them personally.

Therefore, this situation made her realize for the first time that her father was also capable of being humble.

When it comes to flattery, it's so... disgusting.

Being in a high position, he has seen many cunning people, so even if he caters to the wishes of the superior, it will be subtle.

At this moment, Jiang Lingyue felt a little disgusted by this easy-to-understand performance.

She put down her teacup and said, "You've requested an audience so many times, just to say this?"

Jiang Shao's face froze, and before he could reply, his eldest son, Jiang Wen, hurriedly said, "Father has been thinking about you for months, and now we've finally met, so I lost my composure for a moment. I hope you'll forgive me."

This is her eldest brother.

The eldest brother, who was the most indifferent and focused on his own future, was lame in his first life and unable to support the Jiang family. He once came to her and asked her to consider her mother's family and take care of her nephews and nephews.

At that time, she was seriously ill and dying.

The emperor didn't even dare to tell her that she was poisoned by the Immortal Drunk, which was given by Shen. After her father and brothers learned about it, they tacitly allowed Jiang Lingxin to take the last Blood Spirit Ginseng.

Later, the Shen family fell into poverty and my father fell into the water and died.

The second brother also died in the ring.

He did not consider whether it was because he was exposed while drunk as a god, but instead, after committing such a serious crime against her, he dared to ask her to take care of his sons and nephews with a clear conscience.

But that person thought that she still cared about her family, so he gritted his teeth and suppressed his murderous intent to ask her what she thought.

He said that as long as she nodded, he could bring his two nieces into the palace to keep her company.

Really...

Every time she put herself in her past life, she could more deeply understand how much he loved her.

In the end, he probably really had no idea what to do with her.

After regaining his composure and looking at the people in front of him, Jiang Lingyue no longer had the slightest desire to crush them.

Return home in glory or in honor.

Enjoy their flattery.

There is no need.

She waved her hand and said, "Everyone, please leave. I'm tired."

"Your Majesty," said the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, with a look of anxiety on her face. She suppressed her impatience and said softly, "Your Majesty, please see Hui'er and Ping'er. The two children have been talking about missing their aunt and wanting to kowtow to her. They are waiting outside now."

The Hui'er and Ping'er she mentioned were probably the only ones in the Jiang family who had never given her the cold shoulder.

Jiang Lingyue didn't feel disgusted, so she raised her chin.

soon.

Two little girls came in.

One is three years old and the other is six years old.

He must have been taught this, as he bowed politely upon entering.

He kowtowed very loudly.

Jiang Lingyue raised her hand and shouted.

Li helped her daughter up and held her in her arms. She said to Jiang Lingyue, "Everyone says my niece looks like my aunt. Look, my lady, aren't Ping'er's eyes exactly like yours?"

Hearing her mother's words, the little girl raised her head, and everyone could see more clearly.

Li was not wrong.

Those round, almond-shaped eyes do bear some resemblance to the Empress'.

The originally slightly stiff atmosphere in the hall relaxed slightly.

Jiang Shao stroked his beard and smiled, feeling even more satisfied with his eldest daughter-in-law.

But Jiang Lingyue didn't find it strange at all.

The fact that her niece looks like her has no purpose other than proving that she is indeed Jiang Wen's sister and Jiang Shao's daughter.

Instead, it shows that the father and son of the Jiang family are cold-hearted and mean enough.

If it's useful, come on up.

It's useless, just let her fend for herself.

The laughter in the hall quickly disappeared in the calm expression of the superior.

The younger generation whom I hadn’t seen for a long time kowtowed to me, and since she was my niece, I had to give her a grand greeting gift.

Jiang Lingyue didn't mean that at all.

What she gave had different meanings.

Since he had no intention of bringing honor to the Jiang family, why would he give them gifts?

Several ceremonial officials nearby were secretly complaining.

I don’t know what the father and son of the Jiang family did to go too far, which made the queen so ruthless.

In front of a group of outsiders, he refused to even maintain superficial peace.

If she wasn't going to marry into the Jiang family, I'm afraid she wouldn't even come to visit.

Tsk…

If this is the case, then having a queen in the family may not necessarily be a good thing or a bad thing.

This awkward meeting ended quickly.

As the sky grew darker, Jiang Lingyue did not invite her family to the palace banquet.

Several people from the Jiang family were asked to leave by the eunuchs.

In the heavy snow, Jiang Shao's face turned ashen.

The wings are really hard!

He didn't dare to say this out loud, and could only curse viciously in his heart.

He has never taken his daughter seriously over the years.

Even when Chen Ziwei came to propose marriage and Shen was panicked, he didn't take it seriously.

The word "filial piety" can crush a person to death.

As long as he is her father, she has to obey him.

So what if you hold a grudge?

Can you still deal with him as your father?

But who could have imagined that the emperor could force his subject's fiancée into the palace.

Lord of Heaven and Earth, personal teacher.

Now the king and his subjects come first, then the father and daughter.

Filial piety cannot suppress her.

She really holds a grudge against her family!

Judging from his attitude, he might even retaliate.

Suppress the Jiang family.

Suppressing her own mother clan!

"Dad," Jiang Wen leaned closer and winked, "...how about it?"
