My beloved wife is reborn, let's get divorced, Mr. Prime Minister
Chapter 362 Everyone has their own agenda
aweason.
It makes people feel happy when they listen to it.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, may Her Majesty be well and at peace."
Song Qingcheng and Nan Shengsheng paid their respects to the Queen Mother.
"No gift!"
The Queen Mother looked at the people in front of her with a loving face.
"Qingcheng girl, come here and sit next to me."
The Queen Mother waved towards Song Qingcheng and greeted Song Qingcheng, Nan Shengsheng and the others with a loving face.
The officials and their wives around witnessed all of this. What was there to not understand? The Queen Mother clearly liked Song Qingcheng very much.
Xiao Furong was sitting at the bottom, feeling very unhappy because she didn't even have the chance to sit next to the Empress Dowager.
Even Cao Xiangxiang, who was the center of attention, was at a disadvantage with this move.
But after all, she was in front of the Queen Mother, and Madam Cao allowed her to do whatever she wanted, so Cao Xiangxiang could only sit aside in depression.
Just now, the Queen Mother gave her a jade bracelet.
Among all the girls of marriageable age present, she was the only one who got it, not even Xiao Furong. She still thought that she was the most special one in the heart of the Empress Dowager.
Now it seems that the jade bracelet was just a gift to get rid of her.
She doesn't care about jade bracelets or beggars. She is not like those poor people in Beijing who pretend to be rich.
Her father was the governor of Jiangnan, and the thing he had the most was silver. She had a box of jade bracelets like this one.
Cao Xiangxiang angrily took off the bracelet on her hand and threw it to the little maid who was following her.
Madam Cao glared at Cao Xiangxiang, and seeing her daughter's pouting mouth, she realized that she had spoiled her daughter to the point of being unrecognizable. It was very disrespectful for her to just casually pick up the gift given by the empress dowager and throw it to the maid. Fortunately, the empress dowager did not notice this.
However, her family does have plenty of rewards like this, so they don't care at all.
I even felt that the Queen Mother was a little stingy.
If it were in Jinling, no one would dare to look down on her daughter.
The queen mother was old and confused, and she treated a piece of grass as a treasure.
The real treasure is neglected.
It is no wonder that Cao Xiangxiang felt a psychological gap. It was mainly because of Jinling. The Jiedushi of Jiangnan was the local emperor of the small court in Jinling, and Cao Xiangxiang was the center of attention, which was very different from the princess.
But when I came to Beijing, all this sense of superiority was shattered.
Cao Xiangxiang had never suffered such injustice since she was a child. She sat next to Mrs. Cao with a very bad look on her face.
"What's so good about going to the capital? It's far inferior to our Jinling. I don't know what father is thinking. In previous years, we didn't have to go to the capital. Why do we have to go to the capital this year? In previous years, there were also imperial edicts to go to the capital, but father just said he wouldn't come."
Cao Xiangxiang complained, "Mother, when are we going back to Jinling? I don't like staying here at all."
Today is different from the past. The purpose of their coming to the capital this time is to dispel the Emperor of Wei's fears.
In recent years, the Emperor of Wei has become increasingly wary of Jinling. In previous years, they would naturally ignore it. However, in the past year, Pei Huaizhi went south to implement national policies, survey the land, and rectify the administration of officials. Half of the officials of the small court in Jinling have surrendered to Pei Huaizhi.
The finances of Jiangnan were gradually centralized to the central government.
It can be seen that the Emperor of Wei no longer allows them to rule a region. If they follow the imperial edict to enter the capital, it will only make the Emperor of Wei more worried about the Jiedushi of Jiangnan.
Therefore, this trip was to not only dispel the doubts of the Emperor of Wei, but also to personally explore the situation in Shangjing.
Of course, I can't tell Cao Xiangxiang about this. She is still too young. Even if I tell her, it will only add to her troubles.
Madam Cao tucked the scattered hair on Cao Xiangxiang's forehead behind her ears and said, "Just bear with it for another day. We will return to Jinling the day after tomorrow, okay?"
"All right!"
No one in the capital dared to look down upon the Queen Mother who was already in her seventies.
Although the Queen Mother only returned to the palace during festivals, the Emperor of Wei respected his mother very much.
The Queen Mother held Song Qingcheng's hand and said, "Girl, didn't you say you would come to the palace often to accompany me? How come such a long time has passed and I haven't seen you?"
"Could it be that the token I gave you is fake?"
Song Qingcheng did have a token that allowed her to enter and leave Ning'an Palace freely, but she thought the Queen Mother was just being polite to her.
I didn't expect it to be true.
Song Qingcheng smiled as she listened to the Queen Mother's words, "It's Qingcheng's fault. I will definitely come to the palace more often in the future to accompany you, the Queen Mother, to relieve your boredom."
"That's good."
Princess Deyang was standing aside and didn't feel that Song Qingcheng had stolen her limelight.
"Queen Dowager, I see that Princess Deyang is now in good health. It would be better for her to choose another consort and settle down quickly. I have heard that it would be bad for the country if a princess of the royal family were left alone."
The old lady of the He family had just been in a bad mood, but now she forced a smile, seemingly for the good of Princess Deyang.
In fact, Princess Deyang has a bad fate.
Song Qingcheng was speechless, wondering why there were always people who were so annoying.
The Queen Mother asked Xiang He, "What has Tan'er been busy with recently?"
Yao Tan was the son of He. Everyone who came to the capital knew that Yao Tan was a playboy who was neither good at literature nor martial arts, but he managed to become a General of the Central Army in the Jinwu Guard.
Supervising the patrol police on the six streets in the capital, there is not much work to do, but it is a lucrative job.
Because he inspected the shops in Shangjing and secretly asked for protection fees from the shops, if you really calculated it, the annual income was not small.
I don't know how many people are eyeing this job.
Although the Empress Dowager was not in the capital, how could she not know what position her young son held in the court?
There was certainly a deeper meaning behind her question.
He's heart trembled, she only knew that the empress dowager would never ask casually, she must want to do something.
He had a son in her old age, who was about the same age as Princess Deyang.
It is He's lifeblood. At this moment, He was completely panicked. It goes without saying that which is more important, her nephew or her own son.
The Queen Mother did not show it, but said calmly, "The General of the Imperial Household has many chores to attend to, and he also has to inspect all the shops in the capital. It's a waste of talent. Why don't I talk to His Majesty and give Tan'er a different job?"
The Queen Mother is so kind-hearted that she must be promoting someone in public but demoting him in secret.
He was extremely satisfied with her son's job.
The Empress Dowager must not be transferred. The court is in such chaos right now, and we don't know where she will be transferred to. It's better to be quiet now.
"I am terrified. Tan'er is not very talented and well-educated. I am afraid that I have failed the Queen Mother's kindness."
"You are not very knowledgeable?"
The Queen Mother spoke word by word.
He was terrified by what she heard. If Tan'er's job was really affected, the master would definitely not forgive her.
She regrets it now.
The Queen Mother is so protective of her children, how could she allow others to teach Deyang a lesson?
She was too confident.
She thought that she had more say than others because she was a lady of the first rank, but she didn't know...
