Soon the Longevity Palace arrived, and the maids and guards guarding outside saw that it was Xianglan who entered with Han Jiangxue, and they neither stopped nor reported it. They all nodded and bowed, because in the eyes of these slaves, Xianglan and Han Jiangxue are almost the right-hand men of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and they are the most trusted people of the Empress Dowager.

In the Palace of Longevity, Empress Dowager Xiao sat on a chair, dressed in a gorgeous costume and wearing a phoenix crown. Radiant, a motherly and majestic in the world, her white skin is amiable, and her keen eyes are not angry and mighty. She has already given birth to two children, and her figure is still slender and attractive, not much different from a slim and beautiful girl; Her slender fingers looked whiter than a teenage girl's, and her delicate body made people feel weak. But her soft shoulders carry the life and death of the Great Liao Kingdom. She is the No. 1 woman in Daliao, a legendary woman with unfathomable scheming and martial arts, Empress Dowager Xiao.

Han Jiangxue's comprehension ability is particularly strong, she has had more contact with the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the Empress Dowager Xiao is also her mentor. Han Jiangxue was not born so strong, she learned many ways to deal with things from Empress Dowager Xiao, but she has the strength to be better than the blue.

Han Jiangxue came in and bowed to the Empress Dowager Xiao and said, "Han Jiangxue greeted the Empress Dowager, I don't know what the Empress Dowager called Jiang Xue for?" Han Jiangxue asked knowingly. When Empress Dowager Xiao saw Han Jiangxue coming in, she waved her hand and asked the maids next to her to go out.

Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile on her face: "This time to defeat Chu Kou, Xue'er can be said to have worked hard, now that Chu Kou has succumbed to peace, Xue'er can also go back to the palace to stay for a few more days to recuperate, no longer have to go outside to eat and sleep, and work hard to lead the army to fight"! Han Jiangxue said modestly: "Thank you for the care of the Empress Dowager, Jiang Xue is grateful, the defeat of Chu Kou in this battle is due to the blessing of the Empress Dowager, it is due to the emperor's wise decision-making, and it is to rely on the bloody struggle of the Great Liao warriors, Jiang Xue is ashamed to take the credit."

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "Xue'er, don't be modest in front of the mourning family, you understand the merits of Da Liao's mourning family!" By the way, Xue'er, did you see Changle Palace when you came over, Changle Palace has been renovated, and now it's time for Changle Palace to need a new owner"? Han Jiangxue said: "Jiang Xue saw Changle Palace when she came, but Jiang Xue was ignorant and didn't know what the Queen Mother meant?" Han Jiangxue still pretended to be confused.

Empress Dowager Xiao said lightly: "Changle Palace was originally the queen's bedroom, in the past, the emperor was young and did not set up a queen, and the emperor could not govern himself after he did not establish it." In order to let the emperor pro-government as soon as possible, the mourning family decided to let the emperor establish a pro-government".

Han Jiangxue listened and said: "It is a great joy for the emperor to be in power after the establishment of the emperor, Jiang Xue congratulates the emperor, congratulates the queen mother, and congratulates the future queen." Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and said, "Xue'er, don't be busy congratulating others, or congratulate yourself first?" Han Jiangxue pretended to be curious and said: "Queen Mother, how can Jiang Xue be happy?" Could it be that the Queen Mother has news of Jiang Xue's long-lost brother?" Han Jiangxue asked knowingly.

Empress Dowager Xiao said: "Don't pretend to be confused for the mourning family, you led the warriors of the Great Liao Kingdom to break the Chu State to attack the enemy of the tiger and wolf, this is a great achievement, especially to help the Great Liao recapture the two states of Dingyan that have been occupied by Chu Kou for many years, this is a miracle in the great achievement; It is gratifying to congratulate you on having such a talented woman in the Great Liao Country, as for your long-lost brother, it is not easy to find it, but it is a long time to come, and there is no hurry to find your brother."

Han Jiangxue thought to herself, you, an old fox, have been using the news of your younger brother to control yourself, so that she did not dare to leave the Liao Kingdom and work hard for their mother and son, but she said on her mouth: "Thank you Empress Dowager for exaggeration, the victory in the battle of Dingzhou depends on the wisdom of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, and the courage of the soldiers of the Great Liao Kingdom, Jiang Xue is just commanding the battle according to the decision of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, and she is really useless." Han Jiangxue thought to herself that I don't want any great work, miracle work; What's so good about the high power and shaking the Lord! I hope to find my long-lost brother, and taking good care of him is what I have always been worried about.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "There are only you and me here, don't pretend to be false to me, now the mourning family is ready to set up a queen for the emperor, what do you think"?

Han Jiangxue thought that the time to come finally came, but she still pretended to be confused and said: "The Queen Mother decided to be wise, Jiang Xue is ignorant and doesn't know who the Queen Mother will set up as the queen"? Empress Dowager Xiao laughed and said: "Xue'er, except for you, who can be qualified to be the queen in the entire Great Liao Kingdom?"

Han Jiangxue suddenly knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, Jiang Xue has something on her mind, she can't be the queen, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me." Seeing Han Jiangxue's direct refusal, Empress Dowager Xiao's face immediately became gloomy, and she said in a cold voice: "The mourning family is ready to let the emperor make you the queen, you will come to the world and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, what else do you have on your mind?" Do you want to be an empress who reigns over the world?"

Han Jiangxue hurriedly explained: "The Queen Mother Mingjian, Jiang Xue is a grassroots girl, she is not worthy of being the queen, and she has no ambition to fight for power." Han Jiangxue said it confidently, in the face of the majestic gaze of Empress Dowager Xiao, she was not afraid, she was here for a showdown today, so she was already mentally prepared.

Empress Dowager Xiao saw that she was fearless, and knew that her wings were stiff, and she couldn't take her for a while. Empress Dowager Xiao said in a relatively tactful tone: "Xue'er, you are the one who was picked up by the mourning family, the mourning family treats you as their own daughter, and the mourning family has high hopes for you, hoping that you can help the emperor." If you are not worthy, then who else in the entire Great Liao Kingdom can help the emperor of the mourning family"? She sighed slightly. The threat is useless, and the Queen Mother can only move it with emotion and reason.

Han Jiangxue still said calmly: "The Queen Mother is very loving, Jiang Xue will never dare to forget, but Jiang Xue likes the folk life of idle clouds and wild cranes, so Jiang Xue will never be the last." hopes that the Queen Mother will succeed and let Jiang Xue return to the people to find her younger brother. As for the people who can help the emperor, the entire Great Liao Kingdom is full of talents, and there are many people who can help the emperor.

Empress Dowager Xiao is a person who understands her character, seeing that she refused resolutely, knowing that her mind has been decided, and it is useless to say more, Empress Dowager Xiao laughed at herself: "Okay, since Xue'er you insist on being the queen, the mourning family is not reluctant, but Xue'er is the most trusted person in the mourning family, and the mourning family wants to ask you, except for you, whose daughter can be the queen in the entire Great Liao Kingdom?" Indeed, Han Jiangxue was originally her most trusted person, and she was also the person she relied on the most, without Han Jiangxue, she Princess Xiao would not have been able to become the queen mother, maybe she would have died in the palace seizure of power, but her most trusted person rejected her, and the queen mother was also lost in her heart.

Han Jiangxue said: "Lin Ruoxi, the granddaughter of Lin Jun, the coach of the North Courtyard, Jiang Xue has often been in contact with Lin Ruoxi in the past, and knows that she is a knowledgeable and talented woman, and she is more suitable for the queen than Jiang Xue."

This Lin Ruoxi, of course Empress Dowager Xiao knows, her grandfather is Lin Jun, the high-ranking and powerful marshal of the Northern Courtyard of the Great Liao State. Her father was Lin Haotian, a general in Pingdong. If Lin Ruoxi is the queen, he can win over the Lin Jun family, the marshal of the North Courtyard.

In fact, in the heart of Empress Dowager Xiao, in addition to Han Jiangxue, there are two other candidates for the queen: Lin Ruoxi, the granddaughter of Lin Jun, the marshal of the North Courtyard; There is also Prime Minister Mo Ye's youngest daughter, Mo Wuwu.

Now the entire Great Liao State is presiding over the government by the Prime Minister Mo Ye family, and the Marshal of the Northern Courtyard Lin Jun family is relying on the internal worries. The conquest of foreign troubles is to rely on the generalissimo Han Jiangxue in the south.
