The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

However, it is an indisputable fact that Jiang Ruan won the favor of Queen Mother Yide.

And on the second day, there was a shocking news that the Empress Dowager Yide was about to leave for the ancestral temple next to the imperial mausoleum to pray for blessings. After returning to the palace three years later, she issued a decree in person, asking the eldest daughter of the Jiang family to accompany her.

This is even more surprising than last night's news, let alone the daughter of a courtier, even the granddaughter of Empress Dowager Yide did not receive such treatment. Everyone said that Jiang Ruan must have won the favor of the Empress Dowager Yide. This eldest daughter of the Jiang family who had never been favored very much now had some good luck.

Miraculous things happened one after another, it is said that the next day, General Zhao Guang of the Fuguo State personally went up to the court to make a statement, which showed that Jiang Ruan was the flesh and blood of the Zhao family. At the beginning, the Zhao family ruthlessly severed ties with Zhao Mei, and now they don't ask for anything else. I just beg the emperor to give me a grace, so that Jiang Ruan can make his own decisions about Jiang Ruan's marriage in the future.

The general of Fuguo served the country and the people all his life, and he did not take the initiative to make any requests. In front of all civil and military officials, the emperor could not refuse such a simple request. So he waved his hand: yes.

In a few days, Jiang Ruan's name spread throughout the capital.

When Lianqiao and Zisu came to pick Jiang Ruan back to the mansion, everyone looked enviously along the way. Zisu worried: "What happened to the girl? The servants are very worried, but they can't stay in the palace. I don't know what happened."

"Nothing, just a small injury." Jiang Ruan waved his hand: "How is the mansion now?"

Lianqiao said: "After coming back that night, the master and madam went to the study. I don't know what they said. The second girl was frightened. She asked the doctor to come over and prescribed a prescription for calming the nerves, and she fell asleep. The second young master heard a lot The young master was very angry after receiving the news of the reward, and went out to drink at night." There was sarcasm in her tone: "I was carried back drunk the next day."

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Where is the fourth sister?"

"Miss Si..." Lian Qiao said mysteriously, "The man from Zuo Langzhong's house has been here a few times, he seems to be a good person, he must be responsible to Miss Si, he said he will marry Geng Tie in a few days, but... "

Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows, waiting for her to continue. Sure enough, Lian Qiao said: "After the third lady found out about this, she went to the second aunt without saying anything. The second aunt went to the master, and when she turned around, the master called the fourth lady into the study for a while , when Miss Si came out, her complexion was pale. Later, Luzhu went to inquire about it, and guess what happened, Miss?"

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Third sister wants Li Daitao to be stiff?"

"How does the girl know?" Lian Qiao was surprised, and continued: "No, I heard that the second aunt didn't know what she had said to the master, so the master changed his mind. He originally sent Miss Si's geng post, but now he decided to change it. Miss Cheng San."

"Is Zuo Langzhong willing to do this?" Jiang Ruan leaned on the cushion on the carriage seat and drank tea unhurriedly.

"Zuo Langzhong doesn't know about this matter. According to Second Aunt, as long as he gets married and worships, Zuo Langzhong has nothing to do. At that time, the master will talk to Zuo Langzhong in person, and the matter will be settled."

Zi Su also sighed: "Miss Fourth is really too pitiful."

Jiang Ruan didn't think Jiang Dan was pitiful, since she had such a scheming scheme against Zuo Langzhong last night, she had already made plans. It's just that I never thought that everything was to make wedding clothes for her. As a concubine, Jiang Li was not reconciled to Jiang Dan marrying so well. Jiang Li and Jiang Dan, Jiang Quan must be more inclined to Jiang Li, I don't know what the second aunt said to Jiang Quan, it must be Xiao Yi's interest, which made Jiang Quan make this decision.

Lian Qiao also said: "Third Miss snatched Fourth Miss's marriage like this, although it is not kind, but the family in Zuo Langzhong's family is very good, in the future it will be much better than Fourth Miss. Although Fourth Miss has been appeased by the master, But it’s not a good feeling to be afraid.”

Jiang Ruan shook her head: "Wrong, Jiang Li will not live better than Jiang Dan."

Zisu was puzzled: "Young lady, why did you say that?"

"Look, after a few years, you will see for yourself."

Who is Jiang Dan? Jiang Dan is not someone who swallows silently when he is wronged. Jiang Quan thought that Jiang Dan could be manipulated at will now, but he was very wrong. It is undeniable that Jiang Li's incident has already planted a shadow of hatred in Jiang Dan's heart. Such a poisonous snake dormant in the dark, once given a chance, it will kill all enemies with venom without hesitation, leaving no room for others.

Jiang Li, I'm afraid I've lost my temper.

The carriage was driving on the road and stopped suddenly. Lian Qiao was startled, and subconsciously went to lift the curtain of the carriage: "What's going on?"

Jiang Ruan tilted his head, saw a familiar figure through the gap in the curtain, thought for a while, and said to the coachman: "Let the coachman go down first."

This place happened to be in an alley, and there was no one around, Zisu was a little worried, Jiang Ruan had already jumped out of the carriage first.

Sure enough, when she got out of the car, she saw a figure standing in front of the alley, she signaled Zi Su and Lian Qiao to stay in the carriage, and walked towards Xiao Shao by herself. When he came to Xiao Shao, he said, "Lord Xiao."

Xiao Shao looked down at her, and asked in a calm voice, "Are you going to the ancestral temple with the queen mother?"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Yes. It is my blessing to travel with the Queen Mother." After a pause, she looked at Xiao Shao: "On the day of the palace banquet, thank you Prince Xiao for your rescue."

"Since you are going to be injured, I can only let the sword qi hurt you a little bit. In the end, I still hurt you because I didn't think carefully." Xiao Shao shook his head.

Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment, he saw that she took the initiative to meet the sword, and he felt a little complicated at once. But he still smiled and said: "I am different from Lord Xiao. Whatever I want, I have to fight for my own calculations. If I don't block that sword, I won't be able to get what I want."

"Did you get what you wanted?" Xiao Shao asked with raised eyebrows.

Jiang Ruan looked into the distance: "Soon."

Complicated emotions flashed across Xiao Shao's beautiful eyes. After a moment of silence, she took out something from her bosom and handed it to Jiang Ruan.

It was a delicate and small dark blue short sword, about the same size as the one Jiang Xinzhi gave her, and it was inlaid with fine emerald opals, which looked extraordinary at first glance. Jiang Ruan had seen it before, and it seemed to be a treasure in Yibao Pavilion. She was taken aback: "Prince Xiao, this is...?"

"The ancestral temple is not foolproof," Xiao Shao said coldly: "With it and the blood moon bracelet, it is enough to help you." He said: "After you leave, I will also go to Dongyi. bid you farewell."

Jiang Ruan was surprised, this man was so strange that he even mentioned parting. The short sword fell on her hand and seemed to weigh heavily on her heart, Jiang Ruan shook her head: "This thing is really too precious, you have already given me the blood moon bracelet, please forgive me for not being able to accept it."

"Birthday congratulations." Xiao Shao said.

"En?" Jiang Ruan was taken aback again.

Xiao Shao explained: "This sword is your birthday gift." Then he said: "There is no reason to take back what Xiao sent out."
