In the garden of the Longevity Palace, the Empress Dowager was relaxing in the garden of her own palace with the support of her personal maid. From time to time, her eyes fell on the plum blossoms in full bloom, as if she felt something in her heart.

Everyone in the palace knew that the queen mother liked plum blossoms, but many people didn't know the reason.

They only knew that the Empress Dowager was born as a court lady, but her mother honored her mother with her son, but they didn't know how many hardships she had endured before she sat in this position, and how many times she lingered in the narrow escape.

In the Empress Dowager's eyes, she is like this winter plum. Although she has endured the cold, storm and snow for a long time, she is still persevering, and in the end she can bear all the hardships and bloom proudly in the face of the wind and snow.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Song is asking to see you outside the palace."

At this time, a palace official hurriedly came to report, interrupting the Queen Mother's interest in admiring the plum blossoms.

But the queen mother didn't mean to be angry, instead she smiled and asked the palace servants to announce the noble concubine of Song Dynasty to come in.

The Empress Dowager still had a good impression of Concubine Song. She was from the same palace maid as herself, and she was also a mother and son. Seeing Concubine Song was like seeing herself when she was young.

And more importantly, even though in less than a year, the Song family was promoted from a talented person with the lowest rank to a noble concubine second only to the queen, she did not become arrogant and domineering because of this, and she was still as peaceful as ever, without fighting or fighting. Robbing, won the praise of the people in the harem, and it is a world of difference from the previous Wang Guifei.

Not long after, Concubine Song walked to the garden under the guidance of the palace staff, saluted the short Empress Dowager, and said respectfully: "My concubine, Mrs. Song, I have seen the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother chuckled: "It's so cold on the ground. Concubine Song doesn't need to be so polite. Since you're here, let's walk around the garden with Ai's family and see the plum blossoms in the garden."

Concubine Song nodded in agreement, and then took the initiative to step forward to support the Queen Mother on the other side, and walked in the garden with the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager didn't ask Concubine Song why she came, and Concubine Song didn't take the initiative to mention it. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just chatted while walking.

But the Empress Dowager seemed to have thought of something, suddenly changed the subject, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the New Year is over, is it possible that Huang'er is going back to Liangzhou or the Western Regions to take up another post, after this time, I don't know when you mother and son will see each other again. "

Concubine Song sighed deeply, and said with emotion: "Who says it's not? The folks say that women are not allowed to stay in university, but why is it not the case for sons? It's just that when children grow up, they will have to break through after all, and they can't always Stay with yourself."

The queen mother also agreed deeply, nodded and said: "You are right, but after all, Huang'er is of the blood of the Tian family. Although he should go out to practice and experience, he can't stay in the frontier fortress all the time. If you have time, you can tell the emperor about it." Said, I still have to feel sorry for my own flesh and blood, and I have to be transferred back to the capital when I should be transferred back to the capital."

Concubine Song was startled suddenly. She and Xiao Huang's mother and son were connected. Xiao Huang had also told her about her own plan. She naturally supported her son unconditionally. She also knew that Xiao Huang's plot to seize Liangzhou's military power had reached the most critical moment. However, if Xiao Huang is transferred away at this time, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

"The empress dowager is serious. Both Huang'er and I have received the great favor of the emperor. As a member of the royal family, Huang'er naturally has to sacrifice himself for the country in order to repay the emperor's long favor. How can we covet the comfort of the capital, linger on the affection of mother and child, and put the important affairs of the family and the country at the mercy of the emperor?" Regardless?" Concubine Song had a smile on her face, but her palms were slightly sweating.

The Empress Dowager didn't seem to notice the strangeness of Concubine Song, so she chuckled: "The Ai family is just talking casually, the harem cannot interfere in political affairs, and the emperor's decision on major affairs in the court is naturally up to us women and Taoists, so we don't want to get involved."

Concubine Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of what Xiao Huang had sent someone into the palace to pass on to her, her heart moved, she sighed secretly, and said with emotion: "Actually, the Western Regions have just been settled, and there are many things and many threads. Why does Huang'er not want to go back to the Western Regions earlier to stabilize the situation, but there are still matters in Beijing that have not been settled, and Huang'er can't get out of Beijing for a while."

The queen mother seemed a little puzzled when she heard the words: "What is so difficult?"

Concubine Song sighed again, her face seemed a little embarrassed: "Don't be afraid of the queen mother's jokes, I feel a bit ashamed as a mother and concubine when I say it. Huang'er has always been the only concubine of the Wang family, and now she only has one son, but Huang'er is also a concubine. I hope to have more children and more blessings, so I fell in love with Li Wan, the daughter of the Li family in Longxi, and came to propose marriage in person, hoping that Miss Li's family would be the side concubine of King Qin, and the Li family also agreed to this marriage... But who knows this Miss Li's family I don't know who was bewitched to escape the marriage, and finally got him back, but the Li family has not fulfilled the marriage contract, so Huang'er has no choice but to stay in Beijing temporarily."

While Concubine Song was speaking, she kept looking at the Empress Dowager, feeling a little nervous in her heart.

Xiao Huang sent someone to tell her that Xiao Jie had found Li Wan for the Li family, but the emperor would not intervene in this matter, Xiao Jie would definitely find a way to ask the Queen Mother to marry Sun Chang and Li Wan, and she must persuade Xiao Jie before The queen mother bestowed a marriage on him and Li Wan, and did not give the Li family a chance to regret the marriage.

She never mentioned that Li Wanqinglang was Sun Chang, the nephew of Empress Sun, because she was worried that the Queen Mother would favor Sun Chang because of this.

But the Empress Dowager's complexion changed slightly: "You're talking about Li Wan, the daughter of Li Lu?"

Concubine Song suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, but she still forced a smile and said: "The Queen Mother also knows this woman?"

The Empress Dowager nodded and sighed: "Early this morning, the Empress came to the Aijia Palace and said that her nephew, Sun Chang, fell in love with this Li Wan, but for some reason, the Li family did not want to marry a daughter, forcing Sun Chang to marry her." Every day he doesn't think about eating and drinking, looking for life and death, Ai's family sees the empress so sad, so he sent someone to Li's house to issue a Taoist decree, marrying Sun Chang and Li Wan, but he didn't know that this Li Wan was also the girl Huang Er wanted .”

Concubine Song's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant, she didn't expect that Empress Sun would move so fast and get the imperial decree of marriage ahead of her.

The Empress Dowager's decree to bestow marriage has already been issued, it is impossible to withdraw the decree, the marriage between Xiao Huang and Li Wan can only be a mess.

Concubine Song was no longer in the mood to accompany the Empress Dowager to admire the plum blossoms at this moment, she walked absent-mindedly with the Empress Dowager for a while, and then excused that she had other matters to deal with in the palace, so she left in a hurry.

She must send someone to tell Xiao Huang about this as soon as possible.

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Song's back as she left in a hurry, with meaningful eyes.

It seems that this Song family is not as indifferent to fame and wealth as it appears on the surface, and does not fight or grab.

Although his own decree was a bit of a rip off to his grandson Xiao Huang, but state affairs were the most important thing in everything, since Xiao Huang wanted to take away the military power in Liangzhou from Wang Cheng, he absolutely could not marry any other aristocratic family in Liangzhou.

Since the emperor is hindered by the relationship between father and son, let me, the emperor's grandmother, be the villain for a while.
