The Empress Dowager sitting on the main seat remained motionless.

With his eyes closed, the pearls in his hands were slowly turning, and he silently recited scriptures.

Song Jinyue, who was kneeling on the ground, was already suffering from numbness and cramps in her legs.

But she just gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.

The maids serving in the hall retreated one by one when she knelt down just now.

The empress dowager twisted the twirl beads nine times, and when the last twirl bead was twisted in the last circle, the empress dowager let out a low cough. Immediately, a maid in charge came forward with a teacup for the empress dowager to wash. oral.

The queen mother wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and then looked down at Song Jinyue who was on the ground.

"Yo, when did you come? Ai's family didn't hear anything for a while."

"Go back to the Empress Dowager, the minister has just arrived."

Song Jinyue raised her head slowly, looked at the Queen Mother, and answered softly.

The queen mother raised her hand to signal her to stand up.

But he never asked her to sit down.

Song Jinyue stood in the hall and waited for the Queen Mother's orders.

The queen mother wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and put the handkerchief on the desk beside her.

"I heard that the Duke of Song has dismissed the Shen family?"

She was not surprised that this news could reach the ears of the Queen Mother. Naturally, the letter of divorce from the government would be presented to the emperor, which was a rule.

It doesn't matter where the Empress Dowager learned about it.

"Back to the Queen Mother, yes."

The Queen Mother sneered, and looked at the girl standing in the hall with strange eyes.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Now the Duke's Mansion doesn't have a mistress. It's inconvenient. It's not good for the Ai family to interfere in the family affairs of the Duke's house, but you are the Queen's niece, so it's not easy for everyone in the capital to criticize you. a rule."

"Although your marriage with your elder sister has already been settled, this incompetent mistress is going to make people gossip after all."

Song Jinyue looked at the Empress Dowager, there was nothing strange in her eyes, she seemed to be listening attentively.

She originally thought that the Queen Mother summoned her today to beat her because of He Yuanframe's failure to rob the prison last night.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother actually made this idea.

"Beside Ai's family, there is an older lady in the palace. She looks upright and well-behaved. She is a proper person. Today, I will give her to the Duke as a concubine, so as to temporarily shake the place for the Duke's mansion, and wait for the future. If the mistress comes in, if she finds that she is not going well, she can be sent back to the Ai family, or sold to sell the house, the Ai family is free to do so."

These words are not appropriate for a boudoir lady who is not yet married.

However, there are no elders in the Duke's mansion, and the Duke broke his leg again, and it is difficult to recover for a while.

Now the Duke's Mansion is run by the Second Young Lady, so the Empress Dowager naturally asked her to ask questions.

Song Jinyue was slightly taken aback.

When the Empress Dowager gives someone away, she will be a noble concubine when she enters the door, but the purpose of this noble concubine's entry into the mansion is clearly stated, and that is to monitor the Duke's mansion.

And in the future when the mistress comes in, what will happen to this concubine?

If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that this noble concubine will overwhelm the mistress of the family.

Although it can be sold, it can also be returned to the Queen Mother.

But who really dares?
Whether it's selling the Queen Mother's maid, or returning the palace maid to the Queen Mother.

That's all blatantly slapping the Empress Dowager in the face.

There is no noble family in Beijing who has such courage.

"Mu Yun, hurry up and meet Miss Song Er."

Before Song Jinyue could answer, the Empress Dowager called out behind the screen in the hall.

Song Jinyue followed the Empress Dowager's direction, and saw a woman wearing a light purple brocade dress, and a woman with golden hair slowly came out of it.

She has a slender and graceful body, and her pair of phoenix eyes are mellow and rippling, which is really a charming gesture.

If it wasn't for all the hair tied up and made into women's clothing, I'm afraid it would be no different from a woman in her early twenties.

"My concubine, Mu Yun, has met the second young lady."

Song Jinyue's brows moved slightly, and she immediately put away her strange emotions, returned the gift, and met Mu Yun's eyes.

"Aunt Mu Yun."

She didn't call her aunt, but her aunt.

"In the future, I should call Aunt Mu Yun. Well, I'm exhausted. Miss Song can take someone back."

The Empress Dowager raised her hand, and the nurse in charge hurriedly stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager up, and without looking at the crowd, she walked around the screen and went to rest inside.

Today, she can only stay in the mansion for this person.

Song Jinyue looked at Mu Yun and nodded, and then led the people out of the Queen Mother's bedroom.

After leaving the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Song Jinyue originally wanted to go back to the residence, but Xiangxiu hurried to find it from the other side of the palace road.

When the queen learned that the queen mother had summoned Miss Song Er to the palace, she immediately asked her to come and have a look.

"Princess, this is?" Xiangxiu looked at the bright and charming woman behind Second Miss Song, and was a little confused for a while.

"The Empress Dowager rewarded my father's concubine."

Xiangxiu was slightly stunned, bowed to the woman, and then turned her attention to Second Miss Song again.

"Your Majesty told you to go to Zhaohua Hall."

A group of people entered Zhaohua Hall.

Qiu Yun followed Mu Yun and waited outside the hall.

Song Jinyue entered the hall.

The queen frowned when she learned that the queen mother summoned her niece into the palace for the sake of Song Guogong's concubine.

It is really inappropriate for the Queen Mother to act like this.

"Yue'er, I have caused you to be wronged."

"Auntie, don't worry, it's fine, as long as you are fine, Yue'er will be fine."

The queen held her hand, and she tapped her fingers in her aunt's hand, looked at her aunt, and rolled her eyes twice.

Aunt understood what she meant.

However, when Song Jinyue left Zhaohua Palace, the queen specially gave her a maid named Rui Yu.

Song Jinyue understood that her aunt was worried that Mu Yun's entry into the house would make things difficult for her.

So she accepted Rui Yu.

Rui Yu was only twenty years old, because her family had nothing to worry about, and when she came out of the palace, she had no place to go, so she stayed in the Zhaohua Palace, serving the empress with all her heart.

When Song Jinyue was young, she was often taken care of by sister Rui Yu.

Because Rui Yu doesn't like talking, the relationship between them is not like Xiangxiu's sister.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Song Jinyue ordered Steward Song to take Mu Yun to Yinsi Building for resettlement.

She brought Rui Yu back to Mingzhuxuan.

After being introduced to everyone, Song Jinyue was free, looked at Rui Yu, and thanked her with a smile.

"Sister Rui Yu, I'm going to cause you trouble. I'll send you back to my aunt when I find a chance in the future."

"Second Miss, in the future, just call the servant girl Rui Yu. Since the empress has given the servant girl to you, the life and death of the servant girl will be yours in the future."

Rui Yu hurriedly shook her head and said.

"In this case, I will not treat you badly in the future."

Seeing Rui Yu's sincerity, Song Jinyue thought of simply keeping her, and it happened that Ming Zhuxuan also lacked a first-class maidservant.

Rui Yu went down to get acquainted with the environment, and Song Jinyue went back to the house and changed.

After changing the clothes, Aunt Mu Yun actually found her.

"Second Miss, today is the first day I enter the mansion. According to the rules, I have to serve tea to the mistresses, so I came to the Second Miss first, and I wanted to ask the Second Miss if I could bring my concubine to see her. See the Duke?"

Mu Yun was wearing the same outfit as when she just left the palace.

It can be seen that the Empress Dowager ordered someone to dress up for her very early on, in order to win over Song Guogong's mind at a glance.
