The commander-in-chief is handsome and charming

As the youngest empress dowager in the history of Southern Qi, my life suddenly became comfortable.

Xu Shaoxun is a smart man who does not cling to power.

And...he brought Sun Changfeng to Southern Qi.

They both really do their best for my son.

Before Prime Minister Sun's eldest son was born, he had already mastered the skills of raising a child.

The emperor began to sit in the court when he was three years old.

Regent Xu Shaoxun went to the palace early in the morning to ask for an audience.

I checked the specially made dragon robe again and again, and looked at the prince and gave him detailed instructions.

But this child has been active since childhood, and his black eyes looked at me brightly.

Finally, he asked in a baby voice, "Is Big Brother going?"

Yes, he was raised by the Regent since he was a child and he loves this elder brother very much.

"Of course your elder brother will go." He raised his hand and wanted to touch his head.

Then I suddenly remembered that although he was young, he was also an emperor.

Then he put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. Listen to your elder brother and the prime minister."

"You are not allowed to cry or make a fuss."

"If you perform well, your mother will make you cakes and pastries."

As I coaxed her like this, the maid outside whispered, "Queen, the Regent has arrived."

Lead him all the way out.

The Regent is still the same, standing outside my palace gate.

He bowed his head and saluted me, "Greetings, Queen Mother."

After this greeting, he smiled and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty."

I stood outside the palace gate, looking at the emperor sitting in the wide sedan chair, with Xu Shaoxun following beside him.

I tilted my head, not knowing what to say to him.

I sat in my own palace throughout the morning court.

It’s impossible to say I’m not worried, after all, he is only a three-year-old child.

Although he didn't need to do anything.

But what if you want to pee?

What if you want to eat?

What should I do if I cry in front of all the ministers?

The young eunuchs in the palace were sent out in waves.

Then there were the reports one after another.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has begun his court session."

"Her Majesty, the Regent has brought His Majesty to sit on the throne."

"Her Majesty, Prime Minister Sun and the Regent are discussing matters with the ministers, while Your Majesty is playing on the Dragon Chair."

……

Messages were sent one after another.

Until the young eunuch came in with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, the morning court has just ended, and the Regent has returned with His Majesty in his arms."

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back.

The days that followed were more peaceful.

Every day Xu Shaoxun came early to pick up the prince to go to court.

Sometimes, when the child couldn't get up from sleep, he would just pick him up and put him on the sedan chair.

Sun Changfeng handles almost all the affairs in the court.

When the prince was eight years old, he looked like a combination of the Prime Minister and Xu Shaoxun.

At such a young age, with such a face.

He told me seriously, "Mother, I have grown up."

"Several uncles also hold important positions in the court. If you want to leave the palace, I will ask them to build a separate residence for you to visit your parents."

This sentence made my eyebrows jump.

Then he smiled and said, "A separate residence for the royal family? Who told your majesty about this?"

He lowered his head and drank a sip of the soup I made myself, then thought for a moment and said, "The Imperial Censor Ming said so."

"The Lin family has contributed greatly to my ascension to the throne, so it is only natural that we devote the whole country's strength to support the Queen Mother."

This sentence made my eyebrows twitch even more.

She smiled and asked him to eat more, and whispered a few instructions to the maid.

result,

The next day, Prime Minister Sun angrily rebuked the censors at the morning court.

The Ming censor was even sent directly to the border to serve as a prefect.

When the emperor came back, he looked a little unhappy.

The look in his eyes was full of hesitation.

This look...

I looked at him pretending to be confused and still asked the palace servants to prepare the meal.

Then he casually said, "I heard that the Ming Censor was sent away by the Prime Minister?"

"Didn't the Queen Mother tell Sun Qing that?"

I looked at my son in front of me, not knowing how to explain to him.

Finally, I just spoke to him earnestly.

"It is the Lin family's duty to be loyal to you."

"No one, no family, including my mother, is worthy of your majesty's support with the whole country's strength."

I don't know if he can understand what I mean.

Later, he grew bigger.

I don't know when he has grown into a handsome young man.

"Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother!" The clear voice was gentle and bright.

I smiled at the person in front of me. After all, he looked more like me.

But there is still some shadow of the late emperor between his brows.

"Hey, hey, your son is here to have dinner with your mother." He came over to support me with a smile. I don't know when he started this action.

It makes me feel old.

It is a habit for mother and son to eat together, which has been developed over the years.

He smiled and asked the maid to serve me food.

After dinner, he told me happily, "Mother, this morning, Prime Minister Sun and the people from the Censorate started to curse each other."

"Prime Minister Sun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but in the end it was I who smoothed things over."

"Hmm? Your Majesty is becoming more and more like an emperor." I praised with a smile.

I tried hard to recall Sun Changfeng's appearance.

He seemed like a particularly upright man, but... did he grow a beard?

Thinking of this, I remembered last year's palace banquet, which I had seen from afar.

seem,

He's also older.

The next day, when Xu Shaoxun came to pick up His Majesty.

I took a special look from a distance.

It turns out...the Regent also grew a beard.

Sure enough, we are all old.

After His Majesty took power, he knelt on the steps and kowtowed to me solemnly.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a little sad.

I thought my son was an orphan and a widow, but I didn't expect... my son would finally sit firmly on the throne.

Although it is united with Dongling, its regime is still independent.

That's good.

"Mother." I helped him up, and he smiled and helped me all the way into the door.

"I would like to confer upon Sun Xiang the title of Prince."

"His son has been my son's companion in study for the past few years, so he should be rewarded..."

He habitually nags at me, and I nod silently, "Since your majesty has already led the army, then make your own decision."

"After all, my mother is a woman in the deep palace, she doesn't understand these things."

"My eldest brother said that our mother was the most talented woman in the imperial capital, not some lady in the deep palace." He suddenly looked at me seriously.

He waved his hand to signal all the palace people to leave.

Then he whispered, "Mother, the Regent is going to travel abroad, do you want to go?"

This sentence made my heart tremble slightly.

For a moment, I felt inexplicably sour.

I stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say.

He waved his hand indifferently and said, "My father has been dead for many years. You are only thirty years old now. What are you wasting your time in this palace for?"

"My Queen Mother has been very kind to me, and my eldest brother has been very good to me as well."

His fingers unconsciously twisted the potted plant on my desk until the leaves were crushed to pieces.

Then he sighed.

"After your son's wedding, your mother will go out for a walk with your elder brother."

"I will tell everyone that my mother is worshipping Buddha in the palace and will not see outsiders."

"With Prime Minister Sun here, you can rest assured, mother. I will definitely govern Southern Qi well and treat the Lin family well."

"When your Majesty misses me, I will send someone to bring you back."

As he said this, he suddenly looked up at me.

At that moment, I suddenly realized that this was the child I had worked so hard to give birth to.

After all, he has grown up.
