Concubine Chu's mother, Jiang Xue, is the second concubine of the Chu family in Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and is still alive today.
It is said that she was extremely smart and beautiful when she was young. She was originally going to marry the eldest son of the Chu family, the old marquis who had passed away long ago. However, for some unknown reason, she accidentally married the eldest son of the second eldest son.
Although they are both legitimate sons of the Chu family, the second bedroom is completely wrong compared to the eldest bedroom.
Mrs. Lin kept talking in front of Lan Yunsong, saying that she didn't know what was wrong with Jiang Xue's brain at that time. As the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, with her talent and beauty, she could easily enter the palace and become a concubine.
, but she insists on marrying the incompetent legitimate son of the second wife of the Chu family, which is really puzzling.
But whether it makes sense or not, things have come to this.
Now Mrs. Jiang has long been idle and has moved away from the capital. She lives in a nunnery on a mountain in the south and has not been back for many years.
But it is true that because of this relationship, Concubine Chu is the daughter of Jiang Xue, and Empress Dowager Yin and Concubine Chu have been fighting for half their lives during the reign of the late emperor. Therefore, Empress Dowager Yin really does not like the Jiang family very much.
"But I remember that Concubine Chu's mother, Mrs. Jiang, cut off all contact with your Jiang family when she married into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion." Lan Yunsong thought of this again and couldn't help but
Looking at Jiang Jing with some doubts, he asked, "I heard that the father-daughter relationship was severed with your great-great-grandfather. So, in fact, Mrs. Chu has nothing to do with your family."
"That's what I say, but the blood relationship is still close after all. Otherwise, why would the Queen Mother not want to see the Jiang family for so many years? If it weren't for my father's outstanding ability, the late emperor would have become the Prime Minister. After that, I'm afraid
I can't even sit in this seat." Jiang Jing said quickly.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Whenever Lan Yunsong starts to discuss this matter with him so seriously, it means that he is very convinced and has already believed seven or eight points.
He seized the opportunity, with a very sad expression on his face: "I came to see Brother Yunsong today. Actually, I just wanted to confirm whether this painting was a gift from the late emperor.
"If not, then it means that the note is obviously fake, and I don't need to take it to heart.
"But Brother Yunsong is very sure that these calligraphy and paintings are gifts from the late emperor. Thinking about how much the old uncle was highly valued by the late emperor when he was still alive, he also thinks, what if this was arranged by the late emperor at that time?
"Well, Brother Yunsong, you also know that the late Emperor was protective of Concubine Chu to the core. He was afraid that Concubine Chu would be bullied by the Queen Mother a hundred years later, so he sent Concubine Chu back to the Chu family early.
"To tell you the truth, Brother Yunsong..."
At this point, Jiang Jing suddenly stopped talking and looked around carefully to make sure there was no one else. Then he deliberately lowered his voice and continued mysteriously, "I heard from my father that when the late emperor was still alive,
They were already seriously ill at that time, but they still managed to hold on, violating the ancestral rules, and drew an elite group of thirty people from the Longwu Guards and gave them to Concubine Chu to protect her safety!"
When Lan Yunsong heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Ordinary people don't know about the existence of Long Wuwei, but people like them know it more or less.
The Longwuwei is a mysterious elite guard team passed down from a long time ago.
Only those in power throughout the ages have it.
Now this branch is in the hands of the Queen Mother Yin, and those in the hands of the Emperor are only second-class Yu Linwei.
It is said that each member of the Longwu Guard is extremely powerful and can rival a hundred-man palace guard.
It seems that the late emperor really loved Concubine Chu.
In that case, the note hidden in this painting was most likely actually arranged by the late emperor in order to protect Concubine Chu.
"So, I think that the late emperor trusted the old uncle and entrusted this matter to him. Unfortunately, the old uncle suddenly died of a serious illness, so the matter was delayed until I discovered the painting.
Hiding something, I just, alas, I just don’t know what to do! I know that the emperor has always regarded Concubine Chu as half a mother. If I present this note to him, I will definitely get the emperor’s gratitude.
I value the relationship between our family and the Queen Mother, but I am afraid that the Queen Mother will upset our family..."
Jiang Jing really looked embarrassed. He was so worried that he poured himself one glass of wine after another, and soon he was drunk.
After he said this, Lan Yunsong stared at the painting and couldn't help but feel a little hot in his eyes.
If I were to present this note to the emperor, the emperor would definitely take it seriously!
At that time, who will dare to say that Lan Yunsong is useless?
Even the younger brother who married the princess must be respectful to him!
"So, Brother Jing, what do you think? Have you discussed this matter with the Prime Minister? And your elder brother, have you talked about it?" Lan Yunsong's mind was thinking in a way that went beyond his usual thinking.
Rotating at high speed, he asked tentatively.
"No, no." Jiang Jing was so drunk that she couldn't speak clearly, "I can't tell my father and elder brother about the things I haven't confirmed yet. I'll ask them when I get back tonight."
When Lan Yunsong heard this, he felt relieved.
He hurriedly poured another glass of wine and started to drink it with Jiang Jing: "Then we have to go back and discuss this carefully, but since we are here today, we have to drink and be happy first."
"What Brother Yun Song said is, I, I really didn't expect that there are many people like Brother Yun Song who don't care about me and are willing to talk to me so heart-to-heart. Brother Yun Song, wow, once upon a time
I can't help you, if this time I can win the emperor's favor with this painting, I will definitely not forget Brother Yunsong's kindness in the future!"
Jiang Jing drank one cup after another.
He was so drunk that he didn't seem to notice at all that Lan Yunsong kept pouring wine for him, but he kept drinking tea.
Finally, Jiang Jing poured another glass of wine into her stomach, her eyes glazed over for a moment, and then she "plopped" her head on the table, so drunk that she lost consciousness.
Lan Yunsong breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped the fine cold sweat on his forehead because he was about to do something bad, and still called out a few words worriedly: "Brother Jing? Brother Jing?"
Seeing that Jiang Jing was really drunk and unresponsive like a puddle of mud, he quickly got up, put away the painting and the note, and then hurriedly left the teahouse and ran all the way home.
Almost as soon as he took off.
Later, Jiang Jing raised her head with some difficulty, shook her head that was a little dazed from drinking too much wine, and then walked to the window, looking at Lan Yunsong running wildly downstairs, the corners of her mouth raised.
