No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

After hearing what the young eunuch said, Geng felt like the sky was falling.

She had been through so many hardships recently, and she had finally reconciled with Wu Yunzhu, and the relationship between mother and daughter had improved.

Why was she being dismissed from the palace so suddenly?

"What about the others? What should we do with them?" She grabbed the eunuch's sleeve and shook it hard.

Zhang and Wu are easier to deal with, at least they have sons.

What should the three of them do?

Can she rely on her daughter?

The young eunuchs were also ordered not to argue with the concubines and to answer any questions patiently.

He told her over and over again: "His Majesty said that you must live with the eldest princess in the princess's mansion, and your monthly allowance will be paid according to the princess's rate..."

In short, you have money, food and status outside, so you don’t have to worry about your life.

Geng was completely confused and could only listen to the eunuch's repeated reassurances that everything was fine. Only then did she finally understand.

Finally, with Wu Yunzhu's comfort, she finally accepted it.

When Su Peisheng finished his work and reported to the Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan.

What was unexpected was that Song and Liu even followed him to Kunning Palace.

Song's face was full of misery, and it was quite sad to see her kneeling down.

Liu, on the other hand, was like a naive little girl, kneeling foolishly after her.

The Fourth Master frowned and said, "Song, are you dissatisfied with my order?"

If he really has any dissatisfaction, he cannot compromise.

So far, there is nothing he wants to do that he cannot accomplish!

Song was usually as timid as a mouse, but at this moment she said calmly, "I have no complaints, but is it my decision to adopt a daughter?"

She has been childless all her life and now she has been dismissed from the palace. If her adopted son cannot get along with her, her life will be over.

Of course, the Fourth Master couldn't agree to this: "Adopting a child from the royal family is naturally decided by the Imperial Clan Court."

"Even if I am the Son of Heaven, I cannot force anyone I like to be my adopted son."

Song had long guessed that this wouldn't work, and she hadn't come here bravely today for this.

She pleaded, "Your Majesty, I never thought of having an adopted child of royal blood."

"Besides, at my age, to be frank, I'm old enough to be a grandmother in common parlance."

"If I were to raise another child, I wouldn't know if it would grow up smoothly. I really don't dare to take the risk anymore."

As she spoke, she thought of Wuyuan's little princess, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The Fourth Master also thought of the child who died young, and felt a little guilty.

At his current age, he has realized the shortcomings of his youth.

But he only thought about the balance in the backyard, thinking that Song was a member of Nara's family and that the children would be born to Nara.

Nara would never be stupid enough to harm her child, but she didn't expect that the decision-making power in such matters could not be put in the hands of others.

It was his carelessness that essentially killed the child. If he had been more persistent and taken better care of her, she would have grown up smoothly by now.

Because of this guilt, the Fourth Master asked, "Then what do you want?"

Song knew that the matter was likely to be settled, so she said, "I have lived with Liu for so many years. Although we may be sisters, our relationship is actually more like that of mother and daughter."

"Or we can adopt her as our daughter, make her a princess, and we can live together in the princess's mansion."

Oh my.

No wonder Liu followed him.

She and the Fourth Master had the least affection for each other, so being able to be conferred the title of a county lady was already a great advantage.

Now Song was saying that she no longer wanted her own son, so she raised her status to a higher level and directly made her a princess.

I think the relationship between these two people is really good, otherwise the Song family would not do such a thing that would cause them such a big loss.

In this way, the Fourth Master will not suffer any loss, and the only one who will suffer is Geng.

The Fourth Master looked at Liu's silly look and knew that this idea was not instigated by her to Song, so he did not refuse anymore.

As long as the Song family is willing, Liu family can take advantage of it.

He nodded slightly: "Su Peisheng, do as the Song family says~"

"And give the title of Light Cavalry Commandant to the eldest brother of the Song family."

Song was willing to gamble with Liu's conscience, and he couldn't just sit there and watch.

Conscience should be checked and balanced by power.

With Liu's family supporting them and Song's family supporting them, these two "mother and daughter" can have a long-lasting loving relationship.

Song also understood this truth, but she didn't dare to say it out loud, as that would make her seem too scheming.

Fortunately, she made the right bet, the Fourth Master is a man who cherishes old times.

Although he sent them all away, he also hoped that each of them could live a good life.

Liu got a great deal and was of course overjoyed.

Both of them went back satisfied to pack up and prepare to leave the palace. They both agreed that life after leaving the palace would definitely be much better than in the harem.

At least there will be no more rules and regulations, and they can live freely.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily. The Fourth Master let out a long breath and said, "From now on, there will only be the two of us in this palace~"

Lin Mingyan said, "It's still early. We can't rush to build a mansion outside the palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs must complete the construction of the mansion."

"Otherwise, if we build a shoddy project, it will also disappoint them, right?"

We have taken ninety-nine steps, so of course we cannot slack off on this last step.

The Fourth Master thought for a moment and said, "Old Eight has been very well behaved recently. He even submitted two memorials to thank you."

"It is said that you, the kind sister-in-law, thought of his son Hongwang's health and specially gave him the medicine."

"The child has been much stronger recently and can even walk around on his own. This is what Old Eight wished for."

After hearing this, Lin Mingyan was happy for Zhang. After all, as a mother, she knew how anxious she was.

Anything produced by the Wu family is truly a top-quality product.

"That's good," Lin Mingyan was a little confused. After all, why did this matter come up out of nowhere?

The Fourth Master then said, "Now that Old Eighth's temper has been tempered, let him take charge of the matter of leaving the palace and building a mansion."

"He has experience in this matter, he will definitely be able to handle it properly..."

Lin Mingyan was really impressed. The Fourth Master really knew how to use people.

After all, the Eighth Master had helped Jiushi and others build a mansion before, so he was familiar with the twists and turns involved.

During this period, he was always looking for jobs to help his son find a future.

Since the Fourth Master gave him this task, he really had no choice but to do his job conscientiously.

And there is also a hidden petty mind in this: Emperor Kangxi used to send him away in this way, and now he sends his brothers away in this way~

Lin Mingyan's eyes sparkled as she said, "Then why don't we just live in the Old Summer Palace? The palace just asked them to pack up their things~"
