"Miss Song is here?" The Queen Mother sat very leisurely with Princess Youwei on the top, with two snow-white blue-eyed cats lying at her feet.

It was the end of summer, and the wind was blowing the leaves of the trees, and everyone was hiding in the shade of the trees, so that the sun would not bask in them.

"Meet the Queen Mother and see the Emperor." Song Tian made a deferential look, and always looked like she didn't squint in front of Queen Jia'an, as if the most important person in her mind was only the Empress Dowager Jia'an, and even the emperor couldn't compare.

"Sister Tian'er is here?" Zhao Huang raised her round and pretty chin and smiled at Song Tian, she was friendly, but in Song Tian's opinion, she was a little show-off.

Song Tian stepped forward and watched the chess game between Zhao Huang and Shen Ze, the black son was like a broken bamboo, and the white son was defeated and retreated, but Shen Ze didn't have any affection.

"Why doesn't the emperor pity the jade at all? Sister Huang'er told you to be forced into a corner. Song Tian suppressed the coquettishness in his voice, took the opportunity to raise his eyes, and glanced at Shen Ze.

Shen Ze accurately grabbed her eyes that wanted to speak, and her indifferent tone fell into Song Tian's ears, but there was affection.

"Playing chess is playing chess, if you let it go, what's the fun?"

The Queen Mother chuckled lightly and said, "The emperor is such a temperament, he doesn't like to give in, Miss Song and the mourning family will go to the pavilion together." Let's eat tea and talk. ”

Song Tian smiled sweetly at the Queen Mother, rippling a few traces of Song Zhi, and these traces fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother, which seemed a little eye-catching.

She only called Song Tian alone, but ignored Princess Youwei, Princess Youwei smiled slightly, and said busily: "Queen Mother, I want to go to the river to see the lotus." ”

"Go ahead." The Empress Dowager Jia'an didn't even look at her, and said casually, making it clear that she was only using her as a cover.

Song Tian couldn't help but feel that she was a little pitiful, as the young daughter of the first emperor, she is now begging for a life in front of the queen mother, and it is estimated that it will be a life to marry or marry in the future.

The Queen Mother didn't ask Song Tian to let her serve her a cup of mint grapefruit leaf tea, and the ice powder was under Song Tian's eyes, so she seemed to suddenly remember this matter, and said to Song Tian: "The mourning family still remembers that your sister doesn't like the smell of mint, what about you?" ”

Suddenly, hearing that the Queen Mother ordered Song Zhi, Song Tian suddenly became uncomfortable, and said: "The courtiers are different from their sisters, the courtiers like mint, especially in this summer, it is uncomfortable not to drink mint." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows lightly and said with concern: "The two of them have been going to the north for a long time, and they see that the summer is almost over. Have you heard from them lately? ”

"The letter from home is written every half a month, and what it says is just what I have seen and heard in the north, but it is refreshing for the courtiers."

Song Tian replied truthfully, but he didn't tell the Queen Mother, Song Zhi not only wrote to her and the Lin family, Song Ling also had a separate letter, Lin Tianlang and the Tenth Princess also had it, and Old Lady Lin also had it.

"Oh?" The Queen Mother waved her hand slightly, and the palace maid who was gently shaking the fan behind her stopped, "In this way, they are more diligent in reporting to the imperial court, one every ten days." It's just that there are very few words, and it's just good to say everything. ”

"Xu is really good, so there's nothing to say, right?" Song Tian said. The Queen Mother seemed to have something to say, which made Song Tian feel worried, and unconsciously glanced at Shen Ze, who was still playing chess not far away.

"They stayed in Shucheng for a few days, and then they became bodhisattvas of grace for a few days. Can your sister tell you about this in a letter to her family? Empress Dowager Jia'an's thin lips were inciting, and the words that popped out were like frames, making Song Tian feel very uncomfortable.

If Song Tian had seen the Empress Dowager Jia'an when she was still Concubine Jia, she would have been surprised by the changes in her appearance over the years, she was so beautiful back then, like a peony that could bloom for a long time, with plump lips, bright eyes, and a smile like spring sunshine or summer rain.

But now she looks different. There is a vertical line in the center of the eyebrows, which is as deep as if it is slashed with a fingernail, and the eight-character lines on the side of the mouth are full of thick and bitter expression, which is a chuckle, and there is no previous charm.

"Sister, I mentioned it slightly. It's just that the people of Shucheng are not very rich, and seeing that Shucheng has contributed money and effort for the days when they lived for a short time, thinking that there is a surplus of silver, they made some snacks and distributed them. Song Tian didn't think there was anything about this, but it was mentioned separately by the Empress Dowager Jia'an, and every time she said a word, she felt a little different in her heart.

"Your sister has such a good heart, you can't be worse than you think." Empress Dowager Jia'an's eyes fell on Song Tian, but she didn't even dare to raise her head.

"If this game of chess continues, I'm afraid that Miss Zhao will cry. Instead, you can play chess with her. Shen Ze's arrogant and cold voice made Song Tian sound like heaven, and when she saw Shen Ze casually glancing at her, she turned her head to talk to the Empress Dowager Jia'an.

Empress Dowager Jia'an only thought that Shen Ze was really tired of playing chess with people with poor chess skills, and she never complained that he rashly interrupted their conversation, but just said to Song Tian: "You can talk to the sister of the Zhao family." ”

Song Tian got up and retired unhurriedly.

Shen Ze cast a very impatient glance at her back, and the Empress Dowager Jia'an naturally saw his eyes, and involuntarily hooked the corners of her mouth, and said: "Emperor, these days, the mourning family has invited various nobles into the palace for various reasons, in order to let you choose a queen candidate from among them." But the mourners look at it, it seems that there is no one who can make you tempted. ”

"As long as my queen can help me stabilize the dynasty, she doesn't have to be a caring person." Shen Ze said slowly, as if he was gossiping, "As for the woman, why worry about it." The two that my mother gave me were very good, one gentle and petty, and the other lively and playful. After being registered as queens, they were also given a name. ”

When the Empress Dowager Jia'an heard this, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, the more the emperor of the mourning family grows up, the more important he becomes." ”

Shen Ze pouted on his lips with a smile that seemed to be decent, but in fact was ruthless, and said, "I also want my mother to teach me well, and plan properly." ”

The smile on the face of the Empress Dowager Jia'an became even more obvious, she and Shen Zezeng had been separated for a while, but now they are gradually getting along, and it can be counted as a credit to Ling Zhi and An Ye!

"Listening to what the emperor said, Ling Zhi and An Ye are quite intimate." The Queen Mother took a sip of tea, and her eyes circled around Shen Ze with a virtual look.

"The appearance of the two of them is not inferior to the group of noble girls selected by their mother, and their temperament is docile and trained by their mother, which is naturally good." Shen Ze is not very old, but when it comes to these things, he is skillful and spicy.

The Empress Dowager Jia'an heard his voice, but she didn't blame it, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, and said a little disgusted.

"Then General Zhao's daughter and General Song's daughter, you have to choose one, right?" One of them guarded the northern border, and the other lived in the western border for a long time, and they were both people with heavy troops and quite prestige in the court.

"Can't they all be included in the harem?" Shen Ze raised his eyebrows and said, speaking in a tone like picking cabbage in the market.

The Empress Dowager Jia'an was originally leaning softly on the back of the chair, and when she heard this, she straightened up and looked at Shen Ze in surprise, and after a while, she smiled slowly and said, "Then we have to plan carefully." ”

Then she frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "If you want these two people, why don't you have a good face for them on weekdays, if the girl's family is devoted to you, it will be more convenient for us to do things." ”

Shen Ze showed a slightly impatient look and said, "Got it." Women stay in the courtyard all day long, at most they only read some drama poems, if they want to be tempted, they only need a little means. ”

He turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager Jia'an, with a somewhat cunning expression, like the naughty boy before.

Song Tian in the distance naturally couldn't hear the conversation between their mother and son, and her gaze always involuntarily crossed Zhao Huang and lingered on Shen Ze.

"Sister Tian'er, it's your turn." Zhao Huang is concentrating on playing chess, although her chess skills are limited, she is always very dedicated and serious when playing chess.

Song Tian concealed his expression in a little panic, for fear that Zhao Huang would see where his thoughts were flowing.

Fortunately, Zhao Huang didn't think much about it, just took a small bite of the red and crispy watermelon and pushed the sunspot forward.

As soon as Song Tian saw her move, he couldn't help laughing, Zhao Huang blinked at her, the shape of his eyes reminded Song Tian of the innocent and harmless sika deer, Zhao Huang looked at the chessboard, and wondered: "I made a mistake?" ”

Song Tian moved Baizi and said lightly: "Call for food." ”

Zhao Huang let out an annoyed 'oh', puffed out his cheeks, and said, "Sister Tian's chess skills are about to catch up with the emperor." ”

Song Tian didn't like Zhao Huang's left sister and right sister's screaming, but he could only let her scream, Song Tian shook his head and said, "It's far away." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Huang nodded casually, seeing that Song Tian was a little interested in putting the chess pieces in his palm back into the chess box, in fact, Zhao Huang also felt a little bored, so he looked at Shen Ze and the Queen Mother curiously, and said to Song Tian: "Sister Tian'er, what do you say the emperor and the queen mother are talking about?" ”

"How would I know?" Song Tian also glanced at it, and then looked away.

The sun moved slightly, and a corner of the chessboard that was originally hidden in the shade of the tree was revealed, and the palace maid standing on the side said, "Two young ladies, the slave maid will move the table for you." ”

Zhao Huang nodded, lifted her skirt and got up, the sun fell on her smooth face, showing a kind of peach-like juicy fullness.

Song Tian's heart began to bubble with acid, she knew that Zhao Huang was good-looking, but she also knew that her appearance was not bad, but why did she always feel inferior because of such a half-star gap?

If it were my sister, I wouldn't have thought like that. ’

Song Tian thought about it, and thought of Song Zhi again. Somehow, whenever she feels dissatisfied with herself, she always thinks, if it was Song Zhi, what would she do, what would she do?

"Sister, it's so boring. I want to go to the river to find Princess Youwei, can you come with me? Zhao Huang said to Song Tian.

Song Tian glanced at her and shook his head.
