The Empress Dowager Song can be regarded as a legendary figure in the Great Qi Dynasty, if it were not for the fact that forty or fifty years have passed and the royal means have intervened from it, I believe that her deeds will never be quietly bleak.

The Empress Dowager Song, who has passed the age of sixtieth, is not from a famous family, but was born in a merchant family in Guzhou, which is more than 700 miles away from the capital.

At that time, one of the two brothers of the former emperor dismissed the three thousand beauties in the harem for her, and the other died of depression without marrying for life, which shows that the Empress Dowager Song has an outstanding demeanor and outstanding temperament, even if she becomes an old woman who is imprisoned and forgotten in the harem, she does not see much decadence and decay on her face.

Even though he is old, his grace and tranquil temperament have not diminished at all.

Ji Sheng came to Ci'an Palace, and the guards guarding the palace gate were waiting to salute and greet him, but he waved his hand to stop him, and only took Shun Gonggong to walk along the somewhat dark bluestone road to the main hall of Ci'an Palace.

He had never been to Ci'an Palace at this time, and he never knew that this was the time when the Empress Dowager Song finished her morning class and watered the flowers and hoeed grass in the flower garden between the front hall and the main hall. Caught off guard, the elegant and leisurely movements of the Empress Dowager Song jumped into view, she had a smile on her face, and from time to time she turned back and laughed with the grandmother around her, as if she was not imprisoned at all, she was an ordinary woman who was satisfied and carefree.

This is different from Ji Sheng's imagination, he thought that twelve years of ignoring would make the Empress Dowager Song become extremely uncertain, or simply become a shriveled and lifeless old lady. In this way, he told her that she could see her grandson, and she would be grateful to him.

"Your Majesty?" Feeling being watched, the Empress Dowager Song raised her head slightly, and happened to see Ji Sheng, who looked confused, hesitated and put down the flower pot in her hand, took the handkerchief given by Mama Fu and wiped her hands, and turned around, "The mourning family should go to the Buddhist hall." ”

"Queen Mother." Ji Sheng subconsciously screamed, he felt that he was like a fool, he thought that he had punished the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was doing well, and he thought that he was ashamed that Qin Ruixi had not seen him for twelve years, but he still admired his uncle. Today's Ji Sheng is different from the prosperous Ji Sheng of the past. will not be angry with the Queen Mother for ten or eight years because of this moment. Such a queen mother reminded him of the grace of nurturing and abdication back then, if there was no full support of the Empress Dowager Song, he might not be able to become the crown prince and ascend to the throne.

Empress Dowager Song was stunned, turned to look at Ji Sheng, "What else does the emperor want to make the mourning family?" ”

"The Queen Mother. Ruixi: He's married! For a while, Ji Sheng didn't know how to deal with the Empress Dowager Song's sad eyes, so he coughed lightly and directly threw out the topics that the Empress Dowager Song might be interested in.

Although the Empress Dowager Song has always looked dead in her heart all these years, she has not gone against the emperor's will to care about Qin Ruixi's movements; But the Empress Dowager Song must have this only grandson in her heart. This is what Ji Sheng and Empress Dowager Song both know.

At this time, it was the turn of the Empress Dowager Song's body to be shocked, and there was a little more excitement in her eyes when she looked at Ji Sheng, "Does the emperor think that it is not enough for the mourning family and glory to fall to the point where it is now?" ”

Empress Dowager Song looked at Ji Sheng with real resentment, but he also knew that he was too radical back then, and he was provoked by others and made a big mistake. Isn't he going to make amends? Fortunately, there are only two people in the garden, he and the Queen Mother, and they are all their most confidants.

Rao is so. Ji Sheng was also uncomfortable, "I, that's not what I mean." The queen mother may not have seen Ruixi for a long time, and tomorrow I will let my father-in-law Shun go to pass on the queen mother's decree, and Xuan Ruixi and his wife will enter the palace to kowtow to the queen mother. Although it is difficult for Ji Sheng to admit that he is wrong, it does not prevent him from slowly making up for it. After saying this, he was afraid that he would be sneering and suspicious of the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty, so he didn't dare to say anything at all and turned around and left.

When he walked to the door, he stopped and said to the forbidden army standing by the door: "In the future, Ci'an Palace will no longer need to be guarded." ”

He didn't know that after he left, the Empress Dowager Song was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak. Puzzled, "Fu'er, do you think he is testing the mourning family or is it true...... Regretted it? ”

Mama Fu recalled that Father-in-law Shun's expression was the same as always, and she hesitated slightly. "The emperor shouldn't have any malicious intent, right?"

"By the way, the mourning family almost forgot, you and Father-in-law Shun are brothers and sisters, if it wasn't for Father-in-law Shun to help you, you might not be able to go back to me. If the Emperor has any malice, he will hint at you. Empress Dowager Song's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. Then he smiled sincerely, with a lot of wrinkles on his face, "Then tomorrow's mourning family can really see Ruixi?" I didn't care about him for so many years, and I don't know if he will complain about his family. The emperor said that he was married? What kind of woman she is. At the beginning, Qin Zhi was just a sour Confucian who didn't know how to do things, he just had a skin, and the glory was gone, and the palace didn't ask him if he could treat Ruixi well? ”

Empress Dowager Song can still hold an indifferent and calm face in front of the emperor, but in private she is an old lady in her sixties after all, and she still loses her composure when she talks about meeting her grandson. While summoning the little palace maid to count the rewards to be given to Qin Ruixi tomorrow, he was chattering about this and that.

Suddenly, she remembered something, sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, and two lines of tears slowly fell, "The mourning family almost forgot, Ronghua died, and Ruixi was too frightened and became a fool!" ”

Stupid Qin Ruixi didn't know at all, because the two supreme people in the palace had already guessed their own degrees. After Jing Wushuang told Ji Junluo to leave, he began to regret it again, because Ji Junluo knew a lot of things and could tell him many stories.

Although Jing Wushuang was sluggish, he could still see his absent-mindedness from Qin Ruixi's crystal clear eyes. sighed secretly, feeling that there was still some pantothenic acid in his heart, Qin Ruixi was not dependent on her alone, as long as someone else could solve his loneliness, he could like him wholeheartedly. However, in order to satisfy his rare wish, he was cheeky enough to ask Su Fang to invite Ji Junluo to talk to him again. Fortunately, at night, Qin Ruixi, a stupid child, remembered to sleep with his daughter-in-law, otherwise Jing Wushuang would have to sour water.

The gatekeeper of the Qin Mansion was much more clever this time, and he saw from a distance that Gonggong Liu, who had been here last time, turned around the street with two little eunuchs, and his eyes suddenly lit up amazingly, and he asked his companion to go to the main courtyard to inform the old lady and greet him.

After Qin Zhi walked around the mansion before, he disliked Yuan's nagging, and he didn't know where to eat and drink for a long time. After receiving the news, the Yuan family originally wanted people to go to him, but after hesitating, he changed his mind and went out to meet Gonggong Liu in person.

Father-in-law Liu was mentioned by Father-in-law Shun this time, and with a smile on his face, he wanted to see the eldest son of the Qin family speak.

Yuan thought that there was any benefit, and made up his mind to swallow it alone, so that Liu Gonggong had nothing to sue her.

Originally, Gonggong Liu still thought that she was Qin Ruixi's elder, and listened patiently, but the more he listened, the more wrong it became, is it interesting for a stepmother of yours to block the eldest son's hospitality?
