When the Empress Dowager saw King Jing arrive, she did not return to her chair, but said to him: "Your Majesty, come to Ai's house!"

After King Jing came to her side, she pointed to the mandarin ducks in the pond and said, "Your Majesty, look, these mandarin ducks are so happy, in pairs."

King Jing immediately knew that the Empress Dowager had something in her words and would not just talk about the mandarin ducks. So he said respectfully: "Did the Empress Dowager hear any rumors?"

The Empress Dowager was stunned, then immediately came to her senses and nodded, "Yes, the Ai family heard rumors outside that the emperor secretly betrothed the mahjong to a young man named Deng, Shangling, before he discussed with the minister. I wonder if this is the case?"

King Jing was really angry at this time. The secret plan was leaked so quickly. Not only did Grand Master Han know about this during the morning court, but even the Queen Mother in the harem knew about it.

Of course, he didn't know that the Queen Mother knew about this because of a letter sent by Shang Ling overnight.

King Jing didn't want to hide the empress dowager who supported him ascended the throne, so he said, "No, right! The child did have an oral order to betroth his wife to Shangling Denglong!"

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager was slightly surprised. After receiving the letter in the morning, she was a little suspicious at first. The eighth princess Zhou Ma was famously smart and very favored by King Jing. Now King Jing gave the marriage to the man named Deng Long without saying a word. At first, she was a little suspicious. Now, after King Jing said this, of course she was a little surprised. At the same time, she also became a little interested in Deng Long, and asked, "I don't know what Deng Long has to do, and how can he be so loved by the emperor?"

King Jing thought about it and said, "This Deng Long is the current head of the second family of Shangling, and he is 21 years old now!"

"Go to the Deng family in Ling?" The empress dowager was a little surprised and said, "Are you talking about the Deng family in Ling's second family? He is only 21 years old this year? He has become the head of the family?"

King Jing nodded, then briefly introduced what Deng Long had done in Shangling, and then sighed: "I guess I am in Shangling, and I am not as high as he and the four families in Shangling!"

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Deng Long is still a little talented, and he is indeed a talented person. The Ai family wants to meet this person!"

King Jing said regretfully: "What a pity, this person has no intention of becoming an official, and the Eighth Prince also said in several letters that he hopes that this son will develop among the people now, and when the time is right, he will persuade him to enter Beijing!"

"Why did the emperor secretly issue an order to be betrothed to him after he entered the capital by the Grand Tutor and others?" The empress dowager slowly sat back on the chair with the help of two palace maids and said, "Ai family was the concubine of the late emperor, and he also heard the emperor talk about the way of using people many times. The Ai family still remembered that the late emperor said: Using people should be used as swords, and using them well is a sharp weapon to kill enemies. If they are not good at using them, they will hurt themselves. If this person is really a talented person, the emperor will be entrusted with great responsibilities, and he will definitely serve the emperor without using them to tie him around. With the royal relationship, he will not be able to stretch his hands and feet, and it will make him disgusted. Then it will be really not worth the loss."

After saying this, the Empress Dowager pointed to the Yuanyang in the pond and said, "My granddaughter is the most loved by the Ai family, and the Ai family also hopes that she can have a good belonging. At the time, the Ai family disagreed with the public and insisted on letting Concubine De enter the palace, which was nothing more than this!"

Concubine De was one of the most beloved concubines of King Jing. He was originally a woman. When King Jing met when he left the palace, the two became romance. But at that time, how could the emperor take control of the engagement? In the eyes of the ministers and royal family members, Concubine De was born in a lowly and could not enter the palace. Although King Jing had great power, he was extremely distressed when facing the ministers' advice one after another. In the end, the empress dowager took action, resisted the opposition, supported Concubine Nade as a concubine, and entered the palace.

What the Empress Dowager said to King Jing was that the mother was her favorite granddaughter. Like King Jing, they were the ones they care about the most and hoped that they would be happy!

Why didn’t the Queen Mother know the meaning of King Jing? When he woke up from his thoughts, the Queen Mother was no longer there.

The eunuch next to him saw him awake and hurriedly said, "Report to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager said she was tired and had returned to the palace to rest. She also said that she hoped the Emperor would consider it well and make a decision."

The mandarin ducks in the pond are flapping their wings and are playing there.

King Jing looked at the pair of mandarin ducks and fell into deep thought again!
