Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Life as a queen is indeed very comfortable. The concubines in the palace all have a good relationship with me, and the princes under me are also well-behaved and obedient. Currently, there is no intention of competing for the throne.

What Su Tong had to do now was to overcome the four huge obstacles on his head. The retired emperor had been in poor health for a few years, so he passed away in the winter of the following year. Then came the Empress Dowager East and the Empress Dowager West. Several masters had passed away in the palace in just a few years. In order to add some joy to the palace, Su Tong held a talent show. This time the scale of the talent show was much larger than the previous ones, mainly because the national treasury had money.

In addition to selecting women for the emperor, Su Tong also specially summoned some noble ladies from those dignitaries, saying that he and the emperor could act as matchmakers to add some joy to the palace.

Some dignitaries do not want their daughters to enter the palace. They just want their daughters to live in peace, so they have arranged their marriages long ago. Since the queen has spoken, they let their daughters come for the selection. It is a blessing to be granted marriage by the emperor and the queen.

The current emperor is at the peak of his career, so many families want to send their daughters to the palace to have a try, especially during this selection, when there are suddenly eight more women in the palace, each of them is as beautiful as a flower, each with her own beauty, dazzling the eyes.

There are not many high-ranking concubines in the palace. Most of them have given birth to children or have accompanied the emperor for a long time. One son is enough for Su Tong, so he does not plan to have another child this time.

His younger brother passed the imperial examination this year, and the book boy specially invited Madam Su to the palace. He implicitly asked his younger brother if he had someone he liked, and that he could be the matchmaker.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Your brother is still young, and he wants to wait another two years." Madam Su's eyebrows softened when she said this. "But your brother already has a favorite candidate, a daughter of his teacher. But she is still young, so he may need to wait another year or two."

Su Tong smiled at Madam Su and said, "We are all siblings. When my brother gets married, I will prepare a generous gift for him."

Madam Su picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip. "I have only given birth to a son and a daughter in my life. Now the queen is living a good life, and my son is a filial child. The Su family is also thriving. My life can be considered complete.

Queen, Queen, I am old now, and I have no other wishes in this life. I just hope that my children will be safe and sound."

Su Tong lowered his head and said, "Sometimes being alive is a kind of luck."

A smart person doesn't need to say much, Madam Su just sighed softly, "Then I wish you all the best."

Su Tong looked into Madam Su's eyes and said, "You are a royal family. Logically, you should be granted the title of Marquis Cheng'en. However, the late queen's mother's family has already been granted the title of Marquis. So, it is my turn to be an Earl. But it doesn't matter. I and my son will compensate you in the future."

This was as much a conversation between mother and daughter as it was a commitment.

After Madam Su left, Su Tong looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help but sigh that this was a true mother and daughter relationship. At least Madam Su could see that she was not her biological daughter. However, Madam Su didn't seem to have any intention of finding her biological daughter. She just wanted Ruyu to live in peace, but it was a pity that the other party was now living a life worse than death.

Although Su Tong didn't know when the other party saw through it, the two sides maintained a strange peace. Madam Su died a miserable death in her previous life. Her daughter was mentally retarded, and her own son died outside the Great Wall. Now that she has a chance to start over, Madam Su will probably not repeat the same mistakes.

Both parties have a bright future. At least Mrs. Su's husband is dead, and no one will cause trouble to them anymore. Besides, Mrs. Su's son is also very capable.

Although Su Tong is not Mrs. Su's biological daughter, only a few people know this. In the eyes of outsiders, she is the daughter of the Su family. If she lives well, the Su family will also live well.

My life is getting better and better, but some people are living in hell.

Xiaohong often told herself about Su Ruyu's fate. She married a violent man and was beaten and cold every day. Fortunately, she had the skill of needlework and was able to support herself. However, because her face was ruined and she could not speak, she had to hide in the house every day.

Su Tong didn't care about the other person's miserable life, but he didn't expect that they would meet again, maybe ten years later, by a palace maid who looked somewhat similar to him.

At first, Su Tong thought that the other party came for the wealth of the palace. After all, the emperor had been surrounded by many women over the years, and most of the newcomers looked a bit like the old ones, and there was even one who looked a lot like the late queen.

But this is also a very normal thing. People tend to be nostalgic when they get old. The emperor always looks for the shadows of old people in the elderly. At the same time, he is also looking for his former self. In fact, he is just looking for a psychological sustenance.

Su Tong is deeply resentful of this behavior of finding a substitute. You don't know how to cherish people when they are alive, but you miss them after they die. The key is that some people are still alive, and it is really disgusting to openly find a substitute. Fortunately, although the emperor is confused, he did not do too much. He is also very considerate to the elderly, often rewards things, and often visits them, which can be regarded as treating them equally.

However, this palace maid is different from the others. She is obviously the most favored. The emperor visits her five or six times a month, which was impossible in the past.

"I heard that this maid is called Xiaoyu. It's okay if you say the name is similar, but the key is that she also looks a bit like the queen." The concubine sighed when she said this, "I am not a jealous person, not to mention that my children are so old, and I am also old enough to be a grandmother. It's just that this little maid looks like her, and even her behavior is beginning to imitate the queen.

That little black bottle is quite clever. He has earned a reputation as a person who is as calm as a chrysanthemum by winning people's hearts. He even said that he doesn't envy wealth and fame. If he really doesn't envy wealth and fame, how could he be with a man who is older than his own father? "

The concubine immediately covered her mouth when she realized that her words were a bit harsh, but fortunately, the people who came today were all her sisters, and they would never spread such intimate words to outsiders.

"Some people try to draw a tiger but end up drawing a dog instead, just to make people laugh. It's also because the Queen is kind-hearted that she didn't bother with such concubines.

But some people really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Why not learn from anyone else but the virtuous Queen? You have to know that the Queen is kind from the bottom of her heart, and it's not something that some people can easily learn."

Su Tong could also understand everyone's resentment. The current emperor was not a person who valued beauty. Although he would often enter the harem when he was young, the most favored concubine would only see the emperor two or three times a month at most. This little concubine had seen the emperor five times in a month, and she was almost overshadowing them.
