Chapter 308: The Queen Mother is too dissatisfied (third update)
Chapter 308
Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu in front of her a little stunned, and said in her heart, okay, Zhao Xu, you are the son of the Great Song Dynasty, you just choose, you want to be the master of your brother at a young age, and there is still me as the queen mother in your eyes.
But these words, the Queen Mother Xiang, who is not the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, knows very well that she can't say it, but His Royal Highness the King is just an idle prince, and now that the official family is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, that idle prince naturally has no further possibility.
However, since the Son of Heaven has made such a request, being a man who is much higher and sleek than the Empress Dowager Xiang naturally knows very well what she should do.
Xiang Xiang smiled leisurely and bowed slightly. "The official family has really grown up, and there is a brother, thinking about it, King Duan should also be happy to have a brother like the official family."
"The queen mother means yes?" Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed and couldn't wait to ask.
"The official family is the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, and King Duan is your younger brother, since you are willing to make decisions for him, the mourning family naturally can't ask for it......"
Although the atmosphere between Empress Dowager Xiang and Zhao Xu is not a mother's filial piety, it is also very harmonious and relaxed.
And after the Empress Dowager Xiang sent the official out of the hall, she watched Zhao Xu leave with a smile on her face, turned around and ordered the people around her to go to the Spring and Autumn Palace to see the Empress Dowager.
"Niangniang, do you really want to tell the Queen Mother about this? After all, you are the queen mother of the official family......" a confidant female official asked in a low voice.
"Hugh is talking nonsense, Your Majesty is young, the Empress Dowager is in charge, such a major event, how can you not know the Empress Dowager, why bother with resurrection." After glaring at the confidant to the Queen Mother, he moved down the steps.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be a girl, how can I have time to come here today to mourn my family?" Gao Taotao saw the Empress Dowager enter the palace, put down the brush in his hand, and beckoned her affectionately to sit beside her.
"The queen mother is so old, and she is still working so hard, my daughter-in-law stewed a bowl of soup with clear eyes and fire today, and I specially brought it to you......" Xiang replied to the queen mother's side with Gao Tao.
"Okay, it's really my good daughter-in-law, let's put it aside, the mourning family will use it later, you come to the mourning family at this time, shouldn't you just come to deliver soup?"
"Queen Mother Mingjian, today the official family went to the daughter-in-law......" Xiang Queen Mother will not hide it, so she will go to him today Zhao Xu to ask for peace, and then I saw the young girl in the school palace over there, and the Xu daughter was in the picture of the Son of Heaven, of course, and the Son of Heaven wants to be the master of his younger brother, and the matter of marrying the daughter of the Wang family was also said.
"It's rare that the official family can still think of his younger brother and take on the responsibility of a brother, and finally have an adult......" Gao Tao sighed after bowing his head slightly.
And the Empress Dowager Xiang lowered her eyebrows, but her eyes quietly stared at the Empress Dowager's expression, and she saw that after a long time of muttering, she spoke. "Since the official family likes it, then the daughter of the Xu family will stay...... Since the official family is happy to make decisions for his brother, it is up to him. ”
"However, the queen of the official family, the mourning family has already been selected......" Speaking of this, Gao Tao's eyes fell on the Queen Mother Xiang.
The eyes are warm and clear, and it is hard to imagine that these are the eyes of a woman in her fifties and almost sixty. And such a gaze made Empress Dowager Xiang's heart feel a slight chill.
Xiang Xiang hurriedly lowered her eyes and replied respectfully. "Everything is naturally decided by the queen mother, and the daughter-in-law listens to the queen mother's ......"
"Okay, it's all a family, don't make too much trouble, in fact, the beloved person who mourns the family, I think you should be able to guess it......" The Empress Dowager smiled and held the Empress Dowager's hand and said.
"Could it be that the queen mother is talking about that Meng girl?" After hesitating for a long time, the Empress Dowager said with a hesitant look.
"Yes, that's the girl. What do you think? Gao Tao nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the Empress Dowager.
Xiang replied with deep understanding. "That Meng woman is dignified and virtuous, smart and talented, and treats people and things decently, she is a very rare person, if she can promise to the official family, it is a rare good match."
"Okay, the thoughts of the mourning family are the same as yours, then this matter is so decided, the mourning family is busy with national affairs, and the marriage of this official family is a major event, so it will be the queen mother of you, the mother......"
"The queen mother can rest assured, how can a daughter-in-law not do her best." Xiang Empress Dowager nodded vigorously, and after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted some more gossip, Empress Dowager Xiang said goodbye and left.
Just went out, but when he went down the steps, his feet were unstable, and he almost fell, which shocked the palace maids and eunuchs around him.
And after the Empress Dowager Xiang pushed away the arms that came to support her with some irritability, she turned her head and glanced at the Spring and Autumn Palace where Gao Tao lived, and then resolutely turned around and continued to move forward. "Go back to the palace!"

"The little daughter-in-law has become the queen mother, and the old woman of the mourning family is indeed an old ......" After the queen mother left, Gao Tao looked at the direction of the palace gate with a smile, and said to himself a little tiredly.
"Niangniang, she is too dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, right? For the sake of her, the empress of the former emperor, you have a dispute with Your Majesty, I didn't expect that she would still think about it today......" Chief Manager Xu muttered indignantly without sitting down.
"Mouthy!" Gao Tao glanced at Xu Degong, but there was no hint of anger. "Don't chew your tongue."
"Yes, yes, the Queen Mother, the old slave can save it." Xu Degong hurriedly nodded and replied. "Niangniang, then Your Majesty issued an edict to do things in Enke this year, you ......"
Gao Tao nodded slowly. "The official family has been on the throne for many years, but it has not been opened Enke, this time, the official family itself announced to the world, in order to show the royal favor, I don't know how many people celebrate with the crown, this is a good thing to unite the hearts of the world's scholars......"
"The mourning family is old after all, and the official family is growing day by day, and the old woman can't always treat the official family as a child...... This is a good thing, can the mourning family still oppose it? ”
"Even those courtiers and officials, after hearing about this year's Enke, who is not waiting with their eyes open? The old woman will not be the one who is an eyesore. ”
"However, that Wang Yang, I'm afraid he is already one of the candidates for His Majesty's will, right?" Manager Xu has not forgotten that Wang Yang offended himself, and it is wonderful to be able to give this product some eye medicine from time to time.
"Let's take a look, if he is really a good piece of jade, then it might as well, if not, the mourning family will watch for the first emperor and the official family for a day, and those villains will not have a chance to ascend."
"Our Great Song Dynasty, thanks to a wise and calm person like Niangniang, otherwise, the first emperor went early, and the official family is young, if there is no Niangniang, I really don't know what it will become......"
"Okay, don't pat the mourning family's fart, go and bring those folds, the mourning family's business is not over yet......" Gao Tao rubbed his reddened old eyes, and continued to look at the twists and turns of those ministers.
However, Gao Tao seemed to command another sentence as if he was casually. "The marriage of the official family, you can't be a little sloppy, and when the time comes, you remember to stare at the ......"
"No! The old slave must be watching. Xu Degong, who understood it, hurriedly bowed down to receive his life.
