Ji Xiaotang said that she could live in Changning, but he didn't think that Empress Dowager Han was praising her happily, although Empress Dowager Han's face was indeed smiling.⊥,
Ji Xiaotang read out murderous intent from Empress Dowager Han’s smile.
Changning's development of his current character has a lot to do with Empress Dowager Han's spoiling.
"I dare not take the words of the Queen Mother." Ji Xiaotang said hurriedly, "The princess has always been intimidated by a villain, but she still retains her past affection and is willing to listen to my explanation. Although the princess is a little anxious, she is smart by nature and can naturally distinguish right from wrong."
It was not that she could defeat Changning, but that Changning herself divided the right and wrong and was not used by the villain in the end.
Queen Mother Han laughed twice.
"It's also a blessing for you. If you were someone else, Changning would be willing to listen to her explanation!" Changning would be willing to listen to Ji Xiaotang's explanation, which was almost a miracle. And how Ji Xiaotang drank the Imperial Guard who followed Changning, Empress Dowager Han had someone to investigate carefully afterwards.
"This is our county lord Anle." Empress Dowager Han looked at Ji Xiaotang, and her eyes showed praise.
If Ji Xiaotang hadn't been so calm, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such a success in Qingyuan. It would not be surprising that Ji Xiaotang could escape from Changning's rage.
"...The Qin royal family has always had more men and fewer women. In the Changning generation, there were even fewer girls. She had no suitable playmates since she was a child. In the future, Changning can interact with you more. If she can learn from you 10% of her steadfastness, I will feel at ease with her."
Empress Dowager Han hopes that Ji Xiaotang can have more contact with Changning.
From beginning to end, she did not mention Qi Younian. She seemed to have no idea why Changning and Ji Xiaotang turned against each other, or she knew it, but she didn't care at all.
Ji Xiaotang believes that Empress Dowager Han should be the latter.
With Empress Dowager Han here, even if Qi Younian has someone in his heart, he is destined to be Changning's son-in-law.
"I've read your memorial." Empress Dowager Han took the sweet soup handed over by the palace maid, took a sip of it gracefully, and then got to the point with Ji Xiaotang. "You want to plead with the Ai family. Want the Ai family to pardon the woman who married the Yang family into your family?"
"Yes, I also want to ask the Empress Dowager to pardon Yang Pianpian..."
Ji Xiaotang told Empress Dowager Han in detail again, the reason for her request for pardon.
Both Yang and Yang Pianpian are talented women and have simple personalities. Both of them are beautiful and have no knowledge of Yang Ge Lao's rebellion. It would be a pity to die like this.
"The Empress Dowager is also a talent-loving person." After saying this, Ji Xiaotang of course also explained that pleading with Empress Dowager Han was also due to her selfish intentions.
Mrs. Ji gave birth to children for the Ji family, and Yang and Yang Pianpian were both her good friends.
Empress Dowager Han didn't say anything, but her eyes never left Ji Xiaotang. She seemed to be observing Ji Xiaotang secretly, trying to see if Ji Xiaotang's words were from the heart.
"I have seen your sister-in-law and Pianpian. They are indeed two good girls, who can write poetry and literature." After Ji Xiaotang finished speaking, Empress Dowager Han paused for a moment before saying.
"Please be kind to the Queen Mother."
"This matter is very difficult to deal with." Queen Mother Han said.
Ji Xiaotang was not discouraged. Before she came, she thought that this matter was difficult to deal with, and it was not easy to ask Empress Dowager Han to agree.
"Xiaotang, King An is very fond of you. He is the presiding judge of this case again. If you want to save someone, why didn't you think about finding him?" Empress Dowager Han suddenly played with Ji Xiaotang.
"Report to the Queen Mother, I've gone to find Prince An."
"Oh?" Empress Dowager Han raised her eyebrows.∏∈,
"I went to Prince An to plead with him. Prince An said that it was of great importance. He could not make the decision." Ji Xiaotang showed a little hesitant look when he spoke.
But this expression flashed through, and if it weren't for the extremely insightful person, he would definitely not be able to see it.
Empress Dowager Han is a very insightful person and always pays attention to Ji Xiaotang.
"Xiaotang, are you hiding something from the Ai family?" Queen Mother Han asked with a smile. Her eyes seemed to be looking into Ji Xiaotang's eyes.
"No." Ji Xiaotang hurriedly denied.
Queen Mother Han smiled again: "Xiaotang, no matter what the Ai family is, they have lived for decades more than you. You can't hide it from the Ai family. It's Prince An who... has made things difficult for you?"
"What did the Queen Mother say? How could Prince An make things difficult for me?"
When Ji Xiaotang said this, Empress Dowager Han was even more convinced that something must have happened between Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen.
"How long have you known King An? The Ai family has watched him grow up. Look at his steady appearance now, but when he was a child, he was not afraid of heaven or earth. What matters is important and he can't make the decision. He will never say such things in front of you!" Empress Dowager Han said, looking at Ji Xiaotang's face.
Ji Xiaotang said nothing, but Empress Dowager Han thought she already knew the answer.
This incident seemed to greatly please Queen Mother Han.
Empress Dowager Han smiled for a while before stopping.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then the Ai family won't ask."
"The Queen Mother, the pardon..."
"According to the national law, there is no reason to forgive them." Empress Dowager Han said this, but then changed the subject, "But Xiaotang came to plead for mercy, and the Ai family gave their graces outside the law for Xiaotang's sake."
"Thank you, the Queen Mother." Ji Xiaotang hurriedly got up and saluted.
"It's not just that." Empress Dowager Han continued with a smile, "Although Yang Pianpian is the daughter of a criminal minister, she has good moral character and good deeds. In addition to pardoning her exile, she is specially allowed to go to the palace to serve."
Ji Xiaotang was shocked and looked surprised on his face.
Empress Dowager Han smiled, Ji Xiaotang knew that this decision was not what Empress Dowager Han had just decided at this time, but should have been carefully considered.
Empress Dowager Han let Yang Pianpian enter the palace.
Not to mention the noble daughters of the right age in the capital, there are also many girls who come to Beijing to choose female officials, and there are many outstanding figures among them. Even if there are people in the harem, there will be no one Yang Pianpian.
When Empress Dowager Han let Yang Pianpian into the palace, she must have had some plans.
Before Ji Xiaotang could figure out what kind of plot was Empress Dowager Han, Empress Dowager Han had already said something else.
"Your uncle's family has also been affected. I know, you have a cousin named Xiaolian..."
"Yes."
"Let her still enter the palace and choose. I remember her. She was a bit like you and was also a lovely girl."
Ji Xiaotang was no longer surprised. Instead, he responded steadily.
The pleading was smoother than she thought.
When Ji Xiaotang returned to Xinhua Hall, Ji Xiaomu had been waiting for her at the door. Before the carriage could stop, Ji Xiaomu rushed up.
"Xiaotang..." Ji Xiaomu looked at Ji Xiaotang nervously. In addition to expectation, there was also fear.
Ji Xiaotang's next sentence determines the life and death of Yang.∏∈,
"Fortunately, I have not been humiliated." Ji Xiaotang said softly.
Ji Xiaomu was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and immediately knelt down to Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang hurriedly asked the people serving next to him to help Ji Xiaomu up.
"... I have reported to my grandmother and the others, so my elder brother will go to the prison to pick up the people."
As he said this, Ji Xiaotang came to Xuanhua Hall accompanied by Ji Xiaomu.
The whole family was already waiting in Xuanhua Hall.
Ji Xiaotang talked about the result of her entering the palace.
Yang and Mrs. Ji are spared from death.
Ji Xiaomu cried with joy, but Master Ji was not so happy when he heard the news.
Ji Xiaomu asked for help everywhere, but finally asked Ji Xiaotang for help. Master Ji knew about these things, but ignored them. Because he was sure that Ji Xiaomu would not get any results.
However, Ji Xiaotang was persuaded and went to the palace to plead, but she really got the matter done.
And no one came to discuss all this with him.
He is the one who is in charge of Xinhuatang, not Ji Xiaomu.
"The Queen Mother has other grace," Ji Xiaotang continued, "The Queen Mother not only forgives Pianpian, but also allows Pianpian to enter the palace to serve."
As the daughter of a sinner, Yang Pianpian could only be a palace maid after entering the palace.
However, Ji Xiaotang believed that Empress Dowager Han’s expectations for Yang Pianpian were not only that.
Everyone's reaction to this news was relatively dull, except for Ji Xiaolian.
Ji Xiaolian was a little angry.
"Even if you are boutique, you can enter the palace!"
After hearing this, Ji Xiaotang looked at Ji Xiaolian.
Ji Xiaolian immediately lowered her eyelids and avoided Ji Xiaotang's gaze.
"In addition to Pianpian, the Empress Dowager also said that the eldest sister can still enter the palace for an alternative."
Yang Pianpian went to the palace to serve, while Ji Xiaolian was still the only option to enter the palace.
Ji Xiaotang finished speaking and Ji Xiaolian was already overjoyed. Even Master Ji, who was depressed, couldn't help but show his joy.
"Xiaotang, good-looking, you really listened to uncle's words. It's just that. It's just that."
Master Ji and Ji Xiaolian were both happy, but the others were not like this.
Master Ji Er looked at Master Ji and Ji Xiaolian, and then turned his eyes to Ji Xiaotang. Master Ji Er's eyes were filled with worries.
No matter what, the news that Ji Xiaotang brought back this time made everyone in the Ji family very happy, although the reasons for each person's happiness were different.
