After the three yuan and the third, the ministers angered the ceremony and the music collapsed

Chapter 175
Jiang Zhao thought while following Wei Chengyun, the last time she saw the queen mother was when she first entered the palace to face the saint.

At that time, her identity as a woman was accidentally exposed, and the officials felt that she was a woman who participated in the imperial examination, and it was a ruin of etiquette and music.

They all went to the emperor one by one, and the emperor withdrew her title of No. [-] scholar.

At that time, the officials and the emperor were in a stalemate. Although the emperor wanted to keep her, the emperor couldn't hold her back even if the officials played.

In the end, it was the Empress Dowager who came forward and explained by herself, so her status as the number one scholar was preserved, and now she can make a revision.

Otherwise, don't talk about this kind of comfortable life now, I'm afraid he would have been decapitated long ago.

So Jiang Zhao's respect for the empress dowager came from the bottom of his heart.

Under the leadership of Wei Chengyun, he walked into the Compassionate Palace.

This Compassionate Ning Palace is not as luxurious as she imagined, but rather simple.

If it weren't for the three big characters of Compassionate Palace written on the plaque outside, Jiang Zhao couldn't believe that this was the residence of the Empress Dowager.

Except for the grand overall structure of the palace, all the decorations inside are relatively simple.

There are not many decorations placed in the palace, and the most placed are some flowers and plants.

As far as Jiang Zhao could see, these flowers and plants were not expensive species, they were basically flowers and plants that could be seen everywhere.

Speaking of disrespectful flowers, even the flowers that Huaxie put in their yard are much more precious than the flowers in the empress dowager's palace.

"This empress dowager is really frugal."

Jiang Zhao spoke.

Wei Chengyun also answered with a smile: "Yes, the Empress Dowager has always been thrifty, and used the saved money to help the victims."

This empress dowager really loves the people like a child.

This made Jiang Zhao's respect for the empress dowager even higher. She thought that she could not live frugally even though she had money, so she donated the saved money to the victims of the disaster.

At most, when you have extra money in your hands, you can do some good things within your ability.

Arriving at the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, Jiang Zhao waited outside, and Wei Chengyun went in to pass the speech.

Soon Wei Chengyun came out and asked Jiang Zhao to go in.

As soon as she entered, she saw the empress dowager and the emperor sitting at the table talking, and seeing Jiang Zhao approaching, they both looked at Jiang Zhao.

Today's Empress Dowager is not as gorgeous and formal as she was wearing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony that day. She is just a simple red and black dress. There are only two velvet flowers on her hair, and there are no extra accessories.

The whole person is like the wife of a rich family, with a graceful and elegant temperament.

Jiang Zhao restrained his mind, bowed his hands to the two of them, and said.

"Your Majesty Sheng'an, Empress Dowager Wan'an."

The Queen Mother nodded, and let Jiang Zhao, the alligator, sit down.

The maids in the empress dowager's palace brought Jiang Zhao a stool, and Jiang Zhao sat down after saluting.

As soon as she sat down, the emperor asked: "I heard from Wei Chengyun, did Jiang Aiqing bring fireworks when she came here?"

Although Jiang Zhao had just sat down, but the emperor asked her a question, she was too embarrassed to move her buttocks, so she just sat there firmly and answered the emperor's words.

So I had to stand up again and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have made a total of eighteen fireworks and sent them to the palace. Please go and check them out."

The emperor had heard of the name of fireworks long ago, but was trapped in the palace and had no chance to see them. Now that Jiang Zhao said that the fireworks were ready, he couldn't wait to see them.

"Mother, my son heard that this firework is known as the flower of the sky, why not go with me to see its true appearance, and see if it is as gorgeous as the rumors."

The emperor invited the queen mother to join him.

"Your Majesty, the fireworks need to bloom in the darkest night to show their most beautiful posture. If they are released during the day, their magnificence will be covered by the sunlight, and they are far less shocking than when they bloom in the dark."

Jiang Zhao quickly explained that setting off fireworks during the day was equivalent to watching a beautiful woman take a bath in a padded jacket.

After hearing her words, the emperor sat down again.

"The emperor is still a child at heart, seeing new things is still so boring, in the future, Jiang Aiqing needs to help the emperor a lot."

At this time the Queen Mother spoke.

Jiang Zhao got up immediately and said: "Your Majesty is straightforward and innocent, and is a model for the ministers to imitate. It is the duty of the ministers to assist Your Majesty. I must do my best."

These words not only complimented the emperor, but also showed his determination.

Both the queen mother and the emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"After Yuanzheng, the emperor should choose concubines to fill the harem, and now the emperor's harem is still empty."

The queen mother changed her voice.

Hearing that, Jiang Zhao's heart skipped a beat. The emperor had mentioned before that she should be admitted into the palace as a concubine, although it was just a joke later on.

But when the emperor moved his mind, Jiang Zhao had to guard against it.

She has no intention of entering the palace. She has been trapped in this deep palace all her life, fighting wits and courage with those women just to get a man's mercy. This is not the life she wants.

"This matter will be handled in accordance with the etiquette at that time, and the queen mother does not need to worry about it."

The emperor said lightly and blocked the Queen Mother's words.

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, the emperor's selection is not a trivial matter, but the emperor said it so easily.

Those ministers who were eyeing on the sidelines would definitely send their daughters into the palace, and then the battle for queen would be bloody again.

It is unknown how many women's lives are going to be swallowed in this deep palace.

So she hoped that Jiang Zhao could enter the palace, and with Jiang Zhao's means, she would definitely be able to suppress the daughters of those aristocratic families.

Although Jiang Zhao's family background is not enough, and the position that can be sealed when he first enters the palace is not high, but if he gives birth to a dragon descendant in the future, the queen's position is not impossible to fight for.

Letting Jiang Zhao be the empress was a decision made by the empress dowager. There is no mother's family behind her. Even if she is a mother, she can only be attached to the emperor.

If those daughters from aristocratic families become queens, once they give birth to dragon descendants, I am afraid that the final result will be to leave their fathers and keep their sons.

Although Jiang Zhao can share the emperor's worries in the court, but she is a woman and will eventually marry.

Instead of letting her marry into those aristocratic families, it is better to let the emperor enter the harem.

The same can continue to advise the emperor, and the emperor will be more devoted to assisting the emperor as her husband.

But the emperor did not have this idea.

It seems that I need to talk to the emperor alone, the queen mother thought in her heart.

On the other hand, Jiang Zhao felt a little helpless. This woman, one of them hoped that she could assist him in the court and be his public spokesperson.

One wished that he could be her daughter-in-law.

Jiang Zhao naturally chose the former, after all, she didn't want to be a dissatisfied woman.

The emperor looked at Jiang Zhao, and discussed with the queen mother about the upcoming draft.

Although he also intends to bring Jiang Zhao into the harem, what Jiang Zhao said that day has been very clear.

He can't push too hard, after all, he still has to rely on Jiang Zhao to suppress those aristocratic families.

If you are in a hurry, the rabbit will bite people.

With Jiang Zhao's talent, no matter which country he goes to, he will be reused.
