Powerful ministers are husbands

The next day, Pang Miao was walking up and down in the courtyard, thinking about his future plans, when he heard footsteps suddenly, it was some unfamiliar court ladies.

"Excuse me, are you the wife of General Cao?" the leading palace man asked.

"Exactly, you are..." Pang Miao looked at her blankly. The person sent out should still be in Xiping County at the moment, and it stands to reason that no one will come to him.

The palace maid smiled and said: "The slave girl Chunling is in the palace of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager heard that you are in the palace this morning, so she wants to see you."

Summoned by the Queen Mother?Pang Miao blinked, what did the Queen Mother summon him for?It was also at the critical point of his participation in Cao Lv's matter, and everyone else should also understand that he must be in a bad mood at this moment.

"I...with my outfit, how can I meet the Empress Dowager?" Pang Miao showed a embarrassed expression.

Chun Ling smiled gently and cutely, "Young Madam Cao, it's okay, the Empress Dowager is always approachable, and she knows that she is summoned temporarily, so she won't care if Madam Young is dressed too plainly."

It's really not good if the empress dowager summons her and pushes her back.Pang Miao thought for a while, and said bravely, "Okay, please wait for me first, I will re-comb my hair, I can do the best, of course I will do the best."

Chunling was not in a hurry, "Okay."

Pang Miao brought Jinxiu into the room. He looked at the figure reflected in the mirror, thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "After I leave here, you should go to the Hall of Two Appearances to see the Holy Majesty, or the eunuch next to the Holy Majesty. Just say that I went to the Empress Dowager."

Jinxiu didn't stay by Pang Miao's side for a long time, but she had a little understanding of the general situation. Seeing the serious expression on the young master's face, she quickly nodded in response, "Miss, please rest assured."

Pang Miao clenched his fists tightly, sometimes it was really necessary to be defensive.

When Chunling saw Pang Miao come out, she smiled sweetly again, "Mrs. Cao, please come with your servants."

Jinxiu stood at the door watching the young master and the group of maids leave, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva in panic, felt her heart beating wildly, and her palms were sweating, she waited until she could no longer see them , then lifted the skirt, and rushed to the Hall of Liangyi in a panic.

Pang Miao followed Chun Ling, and behind him were three court ladies who came with Chun Ling. They walked along the straight and long corridor. In the distance were many palaces against the background of blue sky and white clouds, magnificent and splendid. Shocking.

"Actually, the Empress Dowager also knows that you are worried about the case of General Cao, Young Madam. I summoned you this time to comfort you. It's better to talk together than to be bored in the room and think about it." Chunling walked He said, "The empress dowager is really kind and kind, and it is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes for the slaves to be by the empress dowager's side."

The ladies in the back echoed repeatedly, and their expressions of gratitude did not seem to be fake.

Pang Miao smiled and said, "Hearing what you said, I don't feel nervous any more. I am very grateful to the Queen Mother who is willing to summon me at this time and enlighten me."

"So please don't be unhappy, Mrs. Cao." Chun Ling smiled sweetly, as if a soft and warm wind had blown into her heart, "When I see the empress dowager, must I talk to you more? The empress dowager Empress likes to talk to the young ladies and ladies in the imperial capital the most."

"Okay." Pang Miao nodded, and followed Chunling into a palace gate.

Compared with the corridor just now, the road behind this palace gate is a bit remote.

Chun Ling took the initiative to explain: "The place where the Empress Dowager lives is a bit remote, but the advantage is that the scenery is beautiful and quiet, so there will be fewer people along the way."

Pang Miao didn't seem to care about the number of people and how few people there were. He looked at a magpie standing on the palace wall and nodded casually a few times.

Chunling took Pang Miao through the path without incident.After passing through another palace gate, what appeared in front of me was a small courtyard with lush vegetation and flowers, as well as ponds and rockeries. The layout was quiet, elegant and unique.

"This is the Empress Dowager's favorite garden." Chunling introduced, pointing to the palace not far away, "That's the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Madam Cao, please walk slowly, be careful of slippery roads."

Pang Miao raised her skirt a little, looked at the gravel road under her feet, and at the green pool beside her, which was as calm as a mirror.

This road is not long, but the most accident-prone.

Although there is nothing wrong with the secluded path, it should not be taken lightly.

"Young Madam Cao, you see a big carp over there, do you see it?" Chun Ling suddenly stopped, and pointed to a corner of the pond excitedly, "That is the biggest koi carp in the palace, the empress dowager is very happy I like it. It's a pity that I don't often show up for people to see, but it appears as soon as Mrs. Cao comes, it must be because it knows that a noble person is coming today."

The small gravel road is narrow, with a pond on one side and rockery trees on the other, with spring bells blocking the front, Pang Miao could only stop and pretend to look at the koi she was pointing at.

The three maids behind quickly looked at each other, and quietly extended their hands to Pang Miao.

On the side of Liangyi Hall, Jinxiu successfully met the current Holy Majesty, and Eunuch Yun told Zhuansun Yongde what happened.

"My mother really likes to chat with people. She also told me this morning that she wanted to meet Mrs. Cao Shao, whom she had never met before. It's not surprising." Zhuan Sun Yongde rarely bought a moment of leisure by pretending to be sick, and leaned lazily on the bed. On the back of the chair, eating the lychee peeled by the waiter, "It's just..." Although the matter was agreed before, at this juncture, it is inevitable that someone would want to take any opportunity to kill Cao Pangshi. Continue to kill Cao Lv.

Ah Lu's wife sent someone to tell him, maybe she saw something?

Eunuch Yun has been by Zhuan Sunzhi's side for many years, and he can guess the Holy Majesty's mind, "Sir, do you want me to go to the Empress Dowager to have a look?"

"Yeah." Zhuan Sun Yongde spat out the nucleus, "Go and have a look, it's also reassuring, go and come back quickly."

Eunuch Yun hurried away with Jinxiu.Zhuan Sun Yongde rubbed his chin, how far he wanted to compromise with those who opposed Cao Lv.

After weighing the pros and cons, naturally it is most appropriate for the Cao family to lead troops to support them.However, the missed opportunity brought about by delaying time has serious consequences that cannot be estimated—maybe there will be more casualties and more cities will fall.

But he can only bet his life and reputation on Cao Lv. For so many years, he has trusted Cao Lv the most. solve.

So he would rather use other things to make a final compromise with some officials - after the power is reduced, he can get it back. If his life is lost, there is no chance to do it again anyway.

Zhuan Sun Yongde picked and picked from the plate, picked up one, looked at it again and then put it down, and continued to pick.After a long time, he picked up a big and round lychee, and slowly peeled off the shell.

"Bang", Eunuch Yun staggered and fell in front of the threshold.

Zhuan Sun Yongde took a look at the sound, and hurriedly dropped the lychee before he could take a bite, "What's wrong?!"

Eunuch Yun was helped up by the servant at the door, ignoring his painful old waist, and shouted: "My lord, there is news from the Empress Dowager that Mrs. Cao accidentally fell into the pond!"

Zhuan Sun Yongde frowned, it was impossible to guard against!
