In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

"Besides, have you forgotten how difficult her and her mother Xie were in the palace before?! It was nothing more than that His Majesty wanted Xie and Concubine Liang to help him with some things, so he promoted them! It's no wonder that she ended up like this because she didn't recognize her own status and position."

"..."

These concubines were the most gloating, and none of them was on good terms with this Liang Fei.

In the Queen's palace, Hongying heard some rumors and immediately went to tell the Queen respectfully, and also told her the Emperor's instructions.

"..."

After the queen heard this, she was silent for a long time before she said to Hongying, "It must be Bai Lu who sent some news from Qingzhou, otherwise, the emperor wouldn't be so angry."

Hearing this, Hongying said unconvincedly, "What Lady Bai said is as if it were the golden words of jade. Your Majesty will do whatever is reported back from Qingzhou."

"It's like she's blowing in one's ear, as if her orders are as powerful as those of the Lord!"

The queen was delighted and said to Hongying, "It is natural that she can whisper in someone's ear."

"After all, a dead person is better than a living one. If Lady Zhao hadn't died, it would have been fine. I'm afraid the affection between us would have worn away over the years."

"But she died, so she became the white moonlight in everyone's heart."

"...but it doesn't matter."

The Queen had a somewhat happy look on her face. She took a sip of tea and said, "I have been displeased with Concubine Liang for a long time. If Bai Lu can make good use of this dead woman, that would be fine."

As long as it is beneficial to myself and the prince, anything is fine.

She let out a long sigh.

Seeing the queen getting thinner and thinner, Hongying comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't be sad. There is good news this time. After all, Concubine Liang has entered the imperial mausoleum to accompany her dead child! It is estimated that she will not be able to come back for three to five years."

"When she comes back in three to five years, Lady Bai and the young masters of the Bai family...will be able to show their skills."

"Maybe by then, she will die directly in the imperial mausoleum."

"Well, I feel relieved if they take action."

The queen nodded, very satisfied.

"It's just that I'm thinking about the marriages of my children."

The prince's marriage is naturally decided by the emperor, and the empress probably has no right to interfere. This is also one of the few requests of the emperor.

He asked the prince to marry someone he wanted, and preferably someone of equal status.

However, the Queen could decide the marriages of her other two sons, Prince Pingkang and Prince Qunan.

The Queen pondered for a while, then said to Hongying calmly, "I asked you to draw up a list of girls of marriageable age in Kyoto. How many days will it take to draw it up?"

Hongying immediately said to the Queen: "I will follow the Queen's instructions. If you want to keep it simple, we can draw up a list of girls of marriageable age in Kyoto. But if you want to draw it up in detail, that will be troublesome."

"First, his family must be of at least the fourth rank. Second, his ancestors must be of humble origins... and whether they are worthy of our royal status.

Although our status requirements are not high, we should not let the princes like us be criticized by those members of the royal family; thirdly, we must carefully check the girl's character and the girl's growing environment.

The family environment will also have some influence on the girl. The stepmother is not good to the girl and does not teach her morality, speech, appearance, and needlework seriously. I am afraid that she will not be able to take care of our two princes in the future..."

Hongying said a lot of things, and finally said to the queen in a somewhat annoyed tone: "If we calculate it this way, it will take at least a month to research and come up with the names for these girls."

"In this case, Your Majesty, you will have to take your time to choose."

The queen thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Other things are fine, the key is the girl's character."

"...Even if she is of humble status, we can let her go a little. A fourth-rank official is fine, or a fifth-rank official is fine, as long as the two children like her."

Identity is not that important, and environment is not that important either. Bai Lu was born in that kind of environment, isn’t he still awesome?

It can be seen that it has something to do with the girl herself.

It is a real peony that can bloom anywhere.

Now...I don’t have many years left to live, so I have to make arrangements for my children.

The Queen sighed and said, "I have to find a good in-law for my two children."

"Even if you can't rely on her, at least you have to let your child find a girl who is gentle and virtuous and with whom he can love and get along well."

"......This way, I can leave with peace of mind."

The queen sighed.

Hongying and the maids around her were shocked when they heard this. They immediately put aside the things in their hands and knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty, please don't say that..."

Hongying's face immediately became covered with tears, and she said sadly, "Empress! You will definitely live a long life."

"At worst, we can send someone to Qingzhou to ask Lady Bai to get some medicine for you."

"...If Lady White knew about this, she would definitely be sad."

After hearing these words, the queen smiled slowly and said to them calmly: "You don't have to do this. Lady Bai has worked hard enough. Let her relax and don't look for her."

"Everyone, get up. You have served me for so many years and it has been hard... When I die, I will find a good home for you."

"If you want to leave the palace to find a husband, I will give each of you fifty taels of silver. You can take this silver and go back to find an honest man to marry, someone who doesn't mind your age..."

"Or maybe you can be a landowner's wife or a housewife."

"In fact, there is nothing good about getting married. The beautiful flower will be turned into a withered skeleton."

As the queen spoke, she fell into a deep sleep, covering herself with the blanket that was covering her.

By the time the emperor learned the news, it was already evening.

He couldn't help but go into the Queen's palace, apologize to the Queen, and scold himself. He said to the Queen with great guilt: "Queen, it's all my fault. I made you worry."

The emperor had never thought that he would make the queen so uncomfortable... and cause the queen so much trouble.

The queen looked at the emperor and smiled at him slowly, saying, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

"When I first saw Your Majesty outside the palace wall, Your Majesty was only six or seven years old. He was a naughty boy and even took bird eggs from the tree. You wanted to give both to Sister Zhao, but you didn't expect me to come over, so you gave me one, and we each had one..."

"Your Majesty has been a good person since childhood. I understand."
