After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Wen Huai followed Su Qingluo in to have breakfast, and soon the concubines in the palace came to pay their respects to the queen.

As the head maid, Yunzhou naturally had to come and serve.

Wen Zhimiao also wanted to join in the fun, sitting on Su Qingluo's lap, looking at the concubines curiously.

I have to say that they are good-looking. Although they are all weak women, their looks are top-notch.

Su Qingluo listened to Wen Zhimiao praising them all morning, and she thought they were all beautiful.

However, if anyone was even slightly disrespectful to Su Qingluo, or if the confused concubine wanted to take the opportunity to provoke her, Wen Zhimiao would immediately spit in his heart.

[It’s pretty, but it’s just using your brain to change your appearance, what’s the point.]

[Everyone knows that my mother has the final say in the palace, but you don’t understand.]

[I dare not even fart with the dog emperor next to me, don’t you understand what this means?]

[So stupid? Provoking the queen? Have you read too many storybooks?]

[Forget it, forget it. Since you come from a commoner background and can’t even read, I won’t bother with you.]

Su Qingluo couldn't help but feel better as she listened to the constant complaints in her heart. She didn't take these people's provocations seriously in the first place.

After all, as Wen Zhimiao said, most of the people who provoke her are women who have no vision or ideas.

In their minds, the husband is the head of the wife, and Su Qingluo has no interest in getting entangled with these people.

After the concubines paid their respects, the families of the ministers and wives of the emperor came over.

As the head of the Supervisory Council, Shi Guanchao and his family should have come to the palace to pay their respects to the Queen, but since Shi Guanchao's wife had passed away, they could be spared this.

But now that Shi Wanyue is the princess’s study companion, Yu Li still has to come and see her.

As an outsider, Shi Guanchao was not allowed to enter the Zhangtai Palace, so Shi Wanyue came with He Yuanyao and his mother.

When Wen Zhimiao saw the two of them coming, she happily got off Su Qingluo. Wen Jiuzhao held her hand and ran with her to Shi Wanyue.

"Sister, Happy New Year..."

"Your Highness, Happy New Year." When Shi Wanyue pounced on her, she skillfully reached out and embraced her.

She has gotten used to it these days; Wen Zhimiao would often pounce on her like this.

He Yuanyao, on the other side of her mother, also secretly looked at Wen Zhimiao: "Miaomiao, Happy New Year~"

Wen Zhimiao stretched out his hand and waved to her: "Yaoyao, Happy New Year~"

Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou looked at Wen Zhimiao, who was extremely proactive. On the one hand, they felt that she was too presumptuous, but on the other hand, they couldn't help but curl their lips.

He Yuanyao's mother, Madam Ping Ling, bowed slightly to Su Qingluo and said, "Your Highness pays respect to the Holy Empress."

The emperor had long gone, and he had never liked these things. Moreover, he always felt depressed sitting next to Su Qingluo.

He could convince himself to be an obedient puppet emperor, but he could not accept being by Su Qingluo's side all the time and feeling the oppression.

"No need to be so polite." Su Qingluo smiled.

She had special respect for Madam Ping Ling. The He family was a military family. When Tianxuan fought against the Shule Kingdom in the west, Madam Ping Ling also followed the army to fight.

He had great prestige in the army. Later, Shule became a vassal state of Tianxuan and promised to pay tribute and taxes every year. He Yuanyao's father became the governor-general of Kang County in the west and guarded Kang County.

The old lady of the He family passed away again, and Madam Pingling returned from the border and took control of the huge He family.

The late emperor personally conferred the title of Lady Pingling on her.

Su Qingluo heard from her mother that she and Madam Pingling were close friends in the past, but it was a pity that they were no longer together.

Madam Ping Ling had watched Su Qingluo grow up, so it wasn't awkward for her to talk about it now.

Wen Zhimiao dragged He Yuanyao and Shi Wanyue to hide in the side hall to play. Yun Zhou wanted to go and see, but when he saw Wen Jiuzhao also went there, he did not go.

With the maid and Wen Jiuzhao around, there shouldn't be any big problems.

It's just that some people are so shameless that they stick to Shi Wanyue. They are really thick-skinned.

Madam Ping Ling was chatting with Su Qingluo, and suddenly they started talking about Yun Zhou.

She first praised Yunzhou, and then suddenly shifted the topic to her younger sister.

Madam Pingling's younger sister married a wealthy businessman from Qingyang. Before getting married, she and her husband were in love and lived a harmonious and loving life.

But as fate would have it, the rich businessman's son drowned three years ago, and the couple now have no children.

The wealthy family did not have only one son, so Mrs. Pingling's sister was in an awkward situation in her husband's family.

She is not allowed to leave her husband's home before the three years of guarding the mausoleum are over, and she cannot go back to her parents' home even if she wants to.

Yunzhou had also heard of this custom, but she had always condemned it. What a nonsense! Even after a person died, one had to be forced to remain a widow for three years.

After Su Qingluo heard this, she smiled and asked Madam Ping Ling, "Madam, do you want to bring your sisters back?"

Madam Ping Ling stood up in the hall and bowed calmly.

"I have a request, but I wonder if the Holy Queen will grant it."

"Madam, please take a seat. What's the matter? Feel free to tell me." Even Su Qingluo was a little confused about what she wanted to do.

Could it be that he hopes she will abolish the custom of guarding the tomb for three years?

This is not impossible.

"I heard that the Holy Queen wanted to establish an institution to assist in public affairs, and only wanted women. I dare to recommend my sister."

"My sister wrote to me and said that she has no intention of remarrying. Before we got married, my mother taught us poetry, classics, and history books. She has also read a lot of history books. In terms of talent, my sister is no weaker than any man in the world. It's a pity that a woman cannot enter the government."

After listening to this, Su Qingluo was a little surprised. She never thought that Madam Ping Ling came here for this matter.

Although her search for someone was not widely publicized, the existence of Jiang Shuyu and others was no secret.

Su Qingluo was not that surprised that Madam Ping Ling knew about this.

If I'm not mistaken, the sister that Mrs. Ping Ling mentioned should be the youngest daughter of the Cui family, who is ten years younger than her and not a sister from the same mother.

But now it seems that the relationship between the two should be good.

"Since Madam has said so, I am naturally happy. However, once you enter this palace, you cannot leave. Madam, you are not allowed to interact with her easily. Have you thought it through?" Su Qingluo asked seriously.

Madam Ping Ling chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if she doesn't see me. If she can do what she wants, she will be happier to be my sister."

"That's great." As the daughter of the Cui family in Yuanchang, Su Qingluo naturally believed in her knowledge, but some things still needed to be tested.

Su Qingluo also said that if it failed, her sister's freedom could be guaranteed, so there was no reason for Madam Ping Ling to refuse.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be difficult for such a wealthy family to take their daughter back.

It's a pity that the custom of guarding the tomb is the most strict even among the noble families. Since they themselves are like that, how could they take the initiative to break it?

Even though Mrs. Ping Ling wanted to take her sister home, her father would not allow it, so she could not force her sister too much and could only find another way out.
