"The official family has a decree to allow Xiang Jia, to Zong Liang, and to Zong Hui to seek official favors."

In the Cide Palace, Liang Weijian recited the official decree aloud.

Xiang sighed in the heart of the Queen Mother, she is not the biological mother of the official family, although she occupies the position of the mother-in-law, but the relationship with the official family is not close, in order to avoid suspicion, she has always refused to let her mother's family be an official, how can her mother's family have no opinion.

But she didn't expect that the official family directly allowed Xiang Jia's favor to ask for an official, and she wanted to speak out against it, but Liang Weijian's next sentence made her stay there.

"Posthumously crowned Princess Yanxi as the princess of Yanguo, gave the third son of the first emperor Zhao Shen, gave the Taishi, Shang Shuling, and the king of the fort."

"Yanxi!"

Empress Dowager Xiang burst into tears, she was the queen of the Great Song Dynasty and the master of the harem, but unfortunately God was too thin for her, first took away her sister-in-law, and then took away her only daughter.

Princess Yanxi is her eldest daughter, and before she could be crowned princess, she died at the age of twelve, and her son was even more miserable, dying after only one day of birth.

"Shin'er!"

Xiang Xiang cried to the Queen Mother, if her son survived, he would definitely be the royal concubine and destined to ascend the throne, but unfortunately he died before he even had time to take his name, otherwise it would be Zhao Xu's turn to ascend the throne.

Now her son finally has a name, named Zhao Shen, and it is given by the official family himself, and it is a name that can be written into the royal family tree, not to mention the gift of Taishi, Shang Shuling, and Fengbao King, so generous enough to make her Shen'er enjoy all the glory.

Seeing this, Liang Weijian couldn't help sighing, this time the official family's reward can be said to have really moved the Empress Dowager Xiang, and His Royal Highness King Yong is afraid that he will lose everything.

"The Queen Mother should not be sad, this is a happy event, and the miscellaneous family has to go to other palaces to report the good news?" Liang Weijian bowed.

Xiang Empress Dowager bowed slightly, since Zhao Xu posthumously sealed her son, other princes who died prematurely may be the same, and soon, there were bursts of suppressed voices crying with joy in the palace.

"The official family has finally grown up."

She naturally knew Zhao Xu's intentions, but she did not reject them, after all, she and Zhao Xu were the same in the interests of the throne.

"If my Shen'er hadn't died young, I'm afraid it would be even bigger than the official family?" Xiang Xiang stroked the name of Zhao Shen on the holy decree, and couldn't help but fantasize about her Shen'er growing up in her mind, surrounding the scene under her knees.

"Hee-hee-hee!"

Suddenly, a burst of young laughter came to the ears of the Queen Mother, as if her son was really by her side, and the Queen Mother hurriedly opened her eyes and saw that there was no one in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel stunned.

Suddenly, the figure of a group of teenagers broke into her sight, and she saw Zhao Xu coming to Cide Palace with a group of princes, and the originally desolate and quiet Cide Palace was instantly full of joy.

"Queen Mother, I and a few royal brothers have just finished bowing, and they just came to the Queen Mother to eat!" Zhao Xu didn't see anything and said loudly.

"Yes, of course!" With tears in her eyes, the Queen Mother hurriedly greeted and ordered the imperial dining room to prepare meals.

After the movement of a group of teenagers, they suddenly devoured the exquisite meals, and the Queen Mother Xiang saw this and added food to them again and again.

"Imperial Physician Fan still has some skills, and the official family and the princes have been a lot stronger recently." Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't help but sigh, although she didn't often appear in the palace, but she also saw the changes in Zhao Xu and the princes, Fan Zheng didn't need a needle or a medicine, but he could make their bodies stronger and stronger.

And she praised Fan Zheng by name, obviously showing that she was on the side of the official family.

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "The queen mother is wise, Doctor Fan is not only a skilled doctor, but also a forensic doctor has made remarkable achievements, it is said that the Chinese medicine hospital used Hua Tuo's mastery to successfully make a pregnant woman with dystocia give birth to a baby by caesarean section, and the mother and child are safe, and the tragedy of the third brother will not be repeated in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Really?" Empress Dowager Xiang said with a shocked face.

At the beginning, she had a difficult birth, and finally gave birth to Zhao Shen with difficulty, but she only survived for one day, and she lost the ability to give birth.

Zhao Xu nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, this matter has caused a sensation in Kaifeng City, everyone knows it, and there is hope that the world will change after all." ”

Empress Dowager Xiang was silent, she knew that the official family not only wanted to support him to sit on the throne, but also wanted her to support his change.

After a long time, he nodded to the Queen Mother and said: "The official family is the lord of the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally he has to take on the responsibility of revitalizing the Great Song Dynasty, and the Queen Mother will give her full support." ”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he bowed deeply to the Queen Mother and said, "Thank you for the success of the Queen Mother." ”

He knew that from now on, Empress Dowager Xiang would be completely on his side.

"Is the food here delicious?" Zhao Xu saw that the imperial brothers had almost eaten, and asked loudly.

"Delicious!" The princes responded with a smile.

"That's good, we'll come to the queen mother every ten years to eat." Zhao Xu said directly.

The Queen Mother Xiang suddenly smiled and said, "In the future, the Queen Mother will definitely prepare food for you." ”

At that moment, the princes cheered one after another.

After Zhao Xu left with a group of princes, he saw the mess of cups and plates in Cide Palace, but the Empress Dowager Xiang did not have a trace of displeasure, but was full of joy.

The official family has changed,

The harem has changed, and it's no longer lifeless.

She loves it and wants it to be there forever.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager Xiang got up and came to the Vertical Arch Hall and asked to see the Empress Dowager Gao.

"The concubine has seen the queen mother!" Said respectfully to the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Gao sighed and said: "You and I both claim to be mourners, so don't be polite." ”

The mourning family is the mourning of the queen after the death of the emperor, and although the Empress Dowager Gao and the Empress Dowager Xiang are mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, they actually sympathize with each other.

"Today, the official family took the sons of the first emperor to bow and come to Cide Palace for dinner, and the official family ate two bowls, and the princes also increased their meals." Xiang Xiang made small talk.

"Oh! Unexpectedly! ”

Empress Dowager Gao was also surprised, since Zhao Xiaojian pretended to be injured, she was a little ashamed of Zhao Xu and others, and there seemed to be an invisible estrangement between her grandmother and grandson.

"It can be seen that Keju is still very beneficial, the emperor is too weak............ body." Tears to the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Gao also has relatives, and at the same time has some regrets in her heart, she shouldn't have been indiscriminate and directly ordered to ban Keju.

Seeing this, the mother dowager said again: "Now that the official family is old and sensible, we finally live up to the trust of the emperor." ”

Empress Dowager Gao was silent and did not answer.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Xiang was not reluctant, and changed her words: "The concubine still has one thing to ask the Empress Dowager for permission, although the concubine is the mother of the official family, but not the mother of the official family, now that the official family has grown up and is about to be pro-government, the concubine feels that it is time to posthumously crown Concubine Zhu as the queen." ”

Empress Dowager Gao's face changed, she had never liked the cowardly Zhu family, and frowned: "My Great Song Dynasty has always had only one queen, since you are the queen of the Divine Sect, then the Zhu family will never become the queen, and the posthumous position of queen should not be mentioned again." ”

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Xiang had to retreat and beg for the next word: "Although Concubine Zhu cannot be named the queen, the concubine implores her to be equivalent to the queen's gift, repair her Shengduan Palace, change the car ride in the palace to the palace, and enter and exit the palace from the east gate of Xuande; …………。 ”

repeatedly asked the Queen Mother to treat the Zhu family with the courtesy of the queen, and the Empress Dowager Gao reluctantly agreed.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Xiang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Xu threw a peach on her, and she finally reciprocated.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a few more words, only to see that Zhao Hao, the king of Yong, did not need to pass through, and directly entered the vertical arch hall.

"Erchen has seen the queen mother and the imperial sister-in-law!" King Yong Zhao Hao saw that Empress Dowager Xiang was here, and couldn't help but say with a surprised face.

When the Empress Dowager Gao saw King Yong Zhao Hao, she couldn't help but feel a trace of love, how could the mother and son have an overnight feud, it was obvious that King Yong had won the favor of the Empress Dowager Gao again.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Xiang's face sank and said, "I heard that the King of Jinkang County injured his ankle, and now he has been fine." ”

Zhao Hao's face was embarrassed and said: "Don't blame the imperial sister-in-law, this is a play between children, and the younger brother has already severely punished Xiao'er." ”

Empress Dowager Xiang said with a cold face: "Although the first emperor is gone, the official family and other princes and the mother-in-law of the palace are here, and they will definitely not be bullied." ”

Zhao Hao's face changed greatly, he didn't expect that the Queen Mother would suddenly attack, and hurriedly asked the Queen Mother for help.

"Also, His Royal Highness King Yong enters and exits the harem without having to pass through it, although it is a filial piety, but there are many widows and concubines in the harem, and His Royal Highness King Yong is asked to avoid suspicion."

Xiang used etiquette to attack the Empress Dowager again, which suddenly made the Empress Dowager Gao, who wanted to speak and persuade her, stunned there. Although Zhao Hao came to see her mother, it was indeed very inappropriate for adult men to frequently enter and leave the harem.

More importantly, Xiang Queen Mother openly announced to the two that she was on the side of the official family.

"Imperial sister-in-law, the lesson is to learn!"

Zhao Hao's face was humiliated, but he could only bow his head and accept his life.

When Empress Dowager Gao saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, now the hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the concubines of the harem all support the official family.

Zhao Hao has already lost a lot.
