The next morning, Gao Yanyun entered Jingyi Palace.

Seeing Gao Yanyun, Fei Zhen's eyes flashed slightly, and the Queen Mother was about to take action!

Gao Yanyun was ordered by the Queen Mother to summon Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning sighed lightly. This feeling of being at the mercy of others on the chopping board was really uncomfortable.

If the chess piece does not want to be a chess piece, then it must find a way to become a chess player.

But now that she is weak, she has to be patient.

Jiang Changning followed Gao Yanyun to Fushou Palace to meet the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was also very direct. The first thing she said when she saw Jiang Changning was: "Xiao Ning'er, do you blame me for letting you enter the palace draft?"

"Changning doesn't dare." Jiang Changning lowered his head and said.

It's because I don't dare, not because I don't mind.

The Queen Mother took her hand and patted it gently, "Xiao Ning'er, a woman doesn't ask for much in this life, she just wants to find a good man to live her whole life."

It is true to say that if you find a good man, you will live forever.

But the question is, is the emperor a good man?

Calling him a public toilet is flattering him.

"For Changning, the capital is just a temporary residence, and Hangzhou is the hometown that Changning dreams about." Jiang Changning tried to save himself.

Before reaching the last step, she still had to work hard and not give up.

"Hangzhou is indeed a beautiful place. Don't worry, I will definitely choose a good man for you and let him accompany you back to Hangzhou." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Jiang Changning thought, does this mean that she doesn't need to enter the palace?

It's a good thing that you don't have to enter the palace.

As for who will be accused of getting married, wait until you get married and think about it later. It will be much easier to deal with than being trapped in the palace.

"Thank you, Madam." Jiang Changning said.

"From the first day we met, I knew you were a smart kid and you were my savior. I will never forget this kindness. From now on, I will be your backer and no one will dare to bully you."

The words sounded nice, but Jiang Changning could figure out the underlying meaning without thinking deeply.

She has been branded by the Queen Mother as a member of the Queen Mother's party, and is a pawn in the hands of the Queen Mother.

I wonder where her chess piece, the Queen Mother, will land on the chessboard?

"Empress, please don't mention any more favors. Good people have their own destiny, and Chang Ning just happened to meet him." Jiang Chang Ning said in a sincere tone.

"How can I not mention this great life-saving grace?"

Jiang Changning lowered his head, hiding the flash of ridicule in his eyes.

I express kindness with my mouth, but I don’t remember the kindness in my heart.

Treating your savior as a pawn, is this repaying your kindness?

It was impossible for Jiang Changning to ask this question, so he could only continue to make excuses with her.

After having lunch with the Queen Mother, Gao Yanyun sent Jiang Changning back to Jingyi Palace.

When Fei Zhen saw this, she was very puzzled. What did the Queen Mother mean?

If you are satisfied with Jiang Changning, you should let her have dinner and sleep with the emperor.

If you are not satisfied, you can just send her back casually. Why should Gao Yanyun send her away?

Not knowing the Queen Mother's intentions, Fei Zhen did not dare to treat Jiang Changning harshly, and of course she would not praise her excessively.

The Queen and Concubine Song could not see through it and did not dare to act rashly. As a result, Jiang Changning's life in Jingyi Palace was relatively stable and peaceful.

As the days passed, there were only forty-two beautiful ladies in the Jingyi Palace.

After Fang Li'er and Su Wanyang, the queen arranged for two more beautiful ladies to sleep with her.

Apart from these two, the other dozen or so were all dragged out for violating palace rules.

That afternoon, Fei Zhen came back from Qiyuan Palace and brought the Queen's instructions, "Go to Yuhu Lake for a tour tomorrow."

The next day, the show girls went to Yuhu Lake.

On the pier by the lake, there is a large three-story boat parked.

The boat is painted with large flowers, which are gorgeous and dazzling.

After getting on the boat, Jiang Changning found a seat by the window and sat.

The boat slowly left the dock and moved steadily in the lake.

Weeping willows, reeds and other moisture-loving plants are planted on both sides of the lake, and the scenery is quiet.

Most of the show girls were watching the scenery on the side of the ship, and there were only a few show girls sitting in the cabin.

Jiang Changning was admiring the scenery when he suddenly heard someone outside say: "Another painting boat has arrived."

She sat at the window on the right, and the boat was on the left. She couldn't see the people on the boat, and she didn't care who was on the boat.

On the other boat were the emperor and his descendants from the royal family, including his cousin Qin Zhaoxi, the son of the Duke of Xingzhou.

This draft is not only to fill the harem, but also to find marriages for the children of the clan and the lord's children.

As the two boats advanced together, Qin Zhaoxi glanced at the shy and coquettish show girls, but failed to find the one he was looking for. He whispered in a low voice: "Didn't she participate in the draft?"

The other princes in the mansion were also looking at this group of beautiful girls. Some of them smiled when they saw their own sisters.

In the presence of the emperor, young gentlemen are not allowed to comment on beautiful women, because they are afraid that if they accidentally talk about the woman the emperor likes, they will be in big trouble.

The ladies were whispering, "Who is Prince Jin?"

"Prince Jin didn't come."

"I thought I could see Prince Jin."

"Who is that young man in scarlet clothes? He is so handsome."

"He is the junior prince of the Xingzhou County Duke's Mansion and the nephew of the Queen Mother."

The royal boat on which the emperor was riding sailed ahead, followed closely behind by the beautiful ladies on the boat.

Arriving at the island in the center of the lake, the boat docked at the pier.

The young masters got off the boat first, and the emperor waited for the beautiful lady's boat to dock before getting off the boat.

At this time, Song Yirou found the beautiful girl who had just asked the King of Jin and slapped her face, "Who are you? Is the King of Jin something you can covet?"

"I didn't." The beautiful lady covered her face and said with tears in her eyes.

"You are not the best. If you dare, I will kill you." Song Yirou said viciously.

"Song Yirou, Prince Jin is not your forbidden love, what qualifications do you have to prevent others from mentioning Prince Jin?" Zhao Xifang sneered.

"Zhao Xifang, I knew you were not a good person. You really want to fight with me." Song Yirou's expression was twisted and ferocious, "I'll beat you to death, you little bitch."

The two had been fighting for so long. Zhao Xifang knew that Song Yirou had always been rude and would fight if she disagreed, so she stepped aside to avoid it.

Song Yirou seized the opportunity, turned around and continued to pounce on Zhao Xifang, as if she would not give up until Zhao Xifang was torn apart.

They started making a fuss, scaring the other show girls into hiding.

"Bang!" a sound.

"Oops, someone fell into the water."

The person who fell into the water was Lu Xiuju. Everyone thought that she was a victim who fell into the water because of the pushover of the show girls.

But from the angle Jiang Changning was standing at, he happened to see that she was not pushed down, but she jumped down on her own initiative.

"Sure enough, you can't take everything at face value." Jiang Changning whispered self-deprecatingly.

Lu Xiujue has always given people the impression that she is weak and needs protection, but if she is really a timid person, how could she dare to jump into the water?

Jiang Changning never thought of exposing her. Everyone does things for a reason.

The one who fell into the water was a beautiful woman, and the one who went into the water to save others must be a boat girl.

It is not in line with etiquette for a guard to go into the water to save someone.
