Mrs. Song's face turned red, and she said tremblingly: "Of course I know what kind of person you are, do you think I'm jealous to mess with you?" Song Yuan, I'm afraid that you won't end well if you go on like this, a companion is like a tiger, today you are close to the queen for the sake of the world, if he is not pleasing to the emperor in the future, who cares about what the world and what government he wants, how can he allow his woman to have other men around him? Who cares why you stay with the queen, who cares if you are for the world or selfishness, the emperor just needs to expel you. ”

Song Yuan suddenly remembered what the emperor said to him when he stood on the top of the mountain that day, and the good emperor mentioned the gossip in the capital, he never showed any dissatisfaction with his loyalty to the queen on weekdays, but he knew everything in his heart.

His wife's words were not wrong, once the emperor returned one day, as long as he didn't like it, no matter why he appeared with the emperor, he just had to expel himself.

"I'm here for your good, you're not a loner, even if you don't think about me, you don't care about the Song family, don't you care about Linglong?" Mrs. Song is not an ignorant woman and child, nor does she have Min'er's rebellious belief that her husband can only be with her for the rest of her life, these words were said, her heart opened up, but she was actually a little weaker, "I'm for your good, Song Yuan, you have to think about it." ”

They were at a stalemate, and the subordinate came to urge him for the second time, saying that General Shen had already drunk tea in the hall, Song Yuan hurriedly packed up and rushed to meet the guests, and Mrs. Song also washed her face and combed her hair, and met before Shen Zhe left.

Shen Zhe seems to have just come to discuss something with Song Yuan, at least Song Yuan didn't notice anything unusual, they have been getting close recently, Jiang Yunshang and Linglong have become close friends in the boudoir again, and the two families should be close, Shen Zhe also said: "Linglong often goes to the General's Mansion, if Mrs. is free, she also goes to walk around, Yunshang is young and doesn't know how to take care of family affairs, although there is a queen mother in the palace, they are too busy and blindly love her, and some of the ability to reform is not taught to her, and I hope that Mrs. will give her some advice." ”

Mrs. Song naturally politely excused herself and said something to each other kindly, and after Shen Zhe explained some things to Song Yuan, she dispersed.

As soon as Shen Zhe left, Mrs. Song reminded her husband again: "The general is the queen mother's own nephew, and in the end, even if the brothers are out of control, the queen mother will desperately protect her nephew." What about you, who will save you? Song Yuan, you can think about yourself and this family. ”

However, before the words fell, their son returned from outside the door, and the nurse of the family gathered in a large circle, as well as the eunuchs in the palace. Song Gongzi began to attack very early to read for the second prince, before the palace was controlled by Qin Zhuang, and he wrote at home for a while, and now the study is back to the beginning, and someone has already come to pick him up.

The child was embarrassed when he entered the door and saw his parents, and after saluting, he stood aside obediently, Song Yuan asked a few words, and then asked his son to go back to rest, and he asked his wife: "Why didn't you object to your son entering the palace to accompany him?" ”

Mrs. Song pursed her lips and lowered her head and said: "I was against it, but seeing that you and the queen are getting closer and closer, I have to find a way back for my family, if the second prince becomes the emperor in the future, he will naturally treat his friends who grew up with him, and the son said that they should be very good, and the second prince likes him very much, of course I don't object." In a word...... Hello do it yourself. ”

After saying these words, Mrs. Song left in a hurry, leaving Song Yuan standing there in a daze, but this is already a world of ice and snow in the blink of an eye, and the climate outside Xiping Mansion is even worse, if the emperor is still alone in the deep mountains and old forests, it is difficult to live, unless he already has a place to stay, but why doesn't he show up?

Judging from the current situation, it is more likely that the emperor is dead, but whether the emperor is alive or dead, he has no disagreement with the empress, everything is just loyalty to the ruler, so coincidentally, she is a woman, and she is an incomparably beautiful queen.

At the end of October, Min'er sent off Queen Zanxi and redivided the territory of Daqi and Zanxi according to the boundary line drawn by the emperor who was last found in the camp at that time.

At this point, the outside of Xiping Mansion was finally peaceful, and the new monarch of Liang State was worthy of succession, and to consolidate the government, the Zanxi people were hit hard, and they wanted to rebuild their homes, at least for two or three years, there would be no more troubles in the west. The remaining Qiangshui Pass in the south, Shen Zhe has been dormant there for several years, and has already established a solid city wall, and has also taken the initiative many times to clean up the Nanban into obedience, and the enemy outside the Qiangshui Pass is not enough to trouble.

Only Kishu Castle in the north, which was once the emperor's most assured, had to send troops to fight against those barbaric Maozi, but as a military town, Kishu Castle has been able to fight in times of crisis for many years, and as long as there are suitable generals to go, the conflict can be quickly quelled and the former tranquility can be restored. Min'er took Shen Zhe's talents, and ordered him to send Qin Zhuang's body back to Jizhou, and treat the Qin family well, but he was only a descendant of Qin Zhuang, and he could never be an official or a general.

Two months have passed, with the queen's painstaking efforts, Daqi has regained peace and tranquility, and the people are happily preparing for the New Year, but they don't know that in the deep palace, the queen is sick because of too much work. said that he was sick, but in fact it was not so serious, it was Imperial Doctor Chen who broke into the Xuanzheng Palace at the risk of death, invited the queen down from the throne, and the queen mother came to the Shangyang Palace in person, and made a desperate order not to allow the queen to worry about anything, and did not hesitate to threaten his daughter-in-law with the lives of Qingya and others, so that Min'er finally stopped.

Before giving birth in the first month, Min'er no longer has to worry about state affairs and world affairs, and naturally this harem is extremely clean.

It's a pleasant day to stay in the house quietly, hugging a blanket and baking on the stove, and watching the children roll and play in the snow.

I don't know if it's because the sadness of the emperor's disappearance has faded after a long time, or Min'er has found other meanings in her life in the court, she no longer suppresses and accumulates too much resentment like before, and everything is as calm as before.

On this day, Linglong and Yunshang both took their children into the palace, the sisters sat and gossiped lively, Yuanyuan took the lead and ran to feed the fish, just when Linglong's child was crying, Linglong took the child to coax elsewhere, and Yunshang followed Min'er to the water pavilion to watch the children feed the fish.

Min'er taught Shen Yun hand in hand, and the little guy was so unhappy to see so many big and beautiful fish. Min'er was thinking about it, if there was a boy in her belly, she would grow up with Shen Yun in the future, thinking that Shen Zhe used to grow up with the emperor, but now she is the opposite, the emperor's son has become a younger brother, how beautiful it would be if it was really so.

Suddenly, there was a scream, only to hear Yuan Yuan and Qin'er giggling, Yunshang was not there, as if she had run to get fish food, only the two little girls lay on the railing, and poured the rest of the fish food into the liquid pool, causing the koi fish below to scramble, splashing the water on the water pavilion, and the liquid pool, which had been floated with ice floe, seemed to be boiled in an instant......

Min'er sighed in her heart, she remembered that when the news of the emperor's disappearance first came, Yuan Yuan was no longer as lively as his father, at that time Min'er was still cranky, thinking that it was because the emperor died, and took away this excitement shared with his daughter, but what is going on now?

Shen Yun saw the excitement, and immediately ran over to play with Yuan Yuan, the children laughed, and it was warm in people's hearts, but Min'er shook her head: "It's because I'm too superstitious, where is there such a god." ”

But when Yunshang turned back, she saw the queen facing the Taiye Pool, her fist clenched tightly in her hand, she stepped forward to ask what was wrong, and the queen was also in a trance, obviously perfunctory and said: "It's nothing, you take the children back quickly, their clothes are wet." ”

On the side of the Longevity Palace, Concubine Shu will come to visit the Queen Mother when she is free as usual, and she is more attentive than before, the Queen Mother is most afraid of loneliness and will naturally not get bored, and Concubine Shu Guifei did not cry and cry at every turn, as if everyone was fading, everyone accepted the reality of the emperor's disappearance, and even the Queen Mother was much stronger than before.

At this moment, Concubine Shu was waiting for the Queen Mother to take a soothing tonic, and the Queen Mother asked her casually: "Is the queen's health okay?" ”

Concubine Shu replied: "With Imperial Doctor Chen taking care of you, you can rest assured." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her lovingly and sighed lightly: "It's a pity for you." ”

I don't know what the old lady means by this, maybe she feels that the emperor didn't leave anything for Concubine Shu before leaving, when the queen was pregnant in Qinzhou, Concubine Shu didn't give herself a good chance, but now it's too late to say anything.

Soon, Concubine Shu Guifei wanted to go to the kitchen to cook the meal prepared for the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother did not stop, and after she left, she sighed to Mama Lin: "She has taken care of me more diligently than before, I know that at least half of it is sincere, but the other half I may not be able to satisfy her." ”

Outside the door, Concubine Shu remembered that she forgot to ask the Queen Mother if she wanted to eat sweets, so she was going to turn back and ask again, but she heard the Queen Mother say in front of the door: "The ministers have asked the prince to establish a new monarch several times, and the old elders of the Xiang family have also told me many times that they are afraid that the imperial power will take away the surname Qiu in the future, this is nonsense, and I believe in Min'er's character." But I also believe that the queen has been refusing to nod, she must be waiting for the child in her womb to be born, if it is a son, how can you ask her to be willing to give the throne to Feng'er and Hao'er? ”

Mama Lin said: "You must keep this in your heart and don't say it to others." ”

The Queen Mother said: "If it is the prince, of course I have to stand on Min'er's side, I must always have a position, right?" I can only grieve Concubine Shugui, but if she is still a little princess, I will definitely let her get her wish, and she will be the new monarch at the beginning of spring tomorrow, I know that Ye'er will not be able to come back......"

The further she said this, the more sad the Queen Mother became, and Concubine Shu stood outside the door, not knowing whether she was frozen by the ice and snow and her face was expressionless, or she was cold from her heart.
