Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

The Queen Mother was a little sad.

She was indeed optimistic about Qin Gu at first, but now that Cheng said it, she began to feel worried.

The Queen Mother lowered her head and looked at the portrait in her hand again, and made up her mind: "You are right, but it depends on Concubine Shude and Yongfu's own wishes. We can't say for sure now, so why not wait for them first?" Let’s see how Qin Gu’s character is after we get along with him for a few years.”

Mrs. Cheng was a little anxious and wanted to persuade the Queen Mother but she didn't know how to speak.

First, the Queen Mother treated her really well, and second, I heard that Princess Yongfu and Shao Shao were still good friends.

Mrs. Cheng lowered her head and glanced at Pei Shao, who was looking at the portraits, feeling very sad.

It would be too much nonsense to tell the Queen Mother that it was Shao Shao's inner voice.

Not to mention that the Queen Mother wouldn't believe it, maybe she thought she was possessed by a ghost.

However, the Queen Mother had already made up her mind, so Cheng could only worry in her heart.

She thought about it silently, and finally decided to start with Shen Shihuan first.

Pei Shao was looking through the portraits, and she was a little disappointed when she saw many unfamiliar names and faces.

A thin piece of rice paper was uncovered by her again, and Pei Shao looked a little bored.

However, when he saw the man in the portrait, he almost jumped three feet high in surprise.

Oh my God!

She reached out and pulled out the portrait, her eyes bright, and tugged on the corner of Cheng's clothes as a hint.

Mrs. Cheng immediately took the portrait with understanding.

The man in the portrait is the legitimate son of Shi Yushi, named Lin Xuqiu, but Shi Yushi is not really an official.

However, the position of a sixth-rank petty official is far behind Song Dynasty's position as Minister of Rites.

It's just that the man in the portrait is handsome and handsome, with beautiful features.

The Queen Mother also saw the portrait in her hand, and after taking a closer look, she became a little puzzled: "This looks strange to me... the legitimate son of the Shi Yushi family?"

She frowned: "Didn't I say that I only want men from official families of third rank or above? Why did I let them go?"

Pei Shao shook the corner of Cheng's clothes.

"Mom~ big brother~ looks good~"

She was also screaming crazily in her heart.

[Don’t choose, this is it! According to the original article, he was the number one scholar in this year's palace examination. As soon as he entered the court, he helped the emperor accomplish many important things, so his official position rose rapidly. What's more, I heard that he was also famous for his purity...]

Pei Shao's eyes were bright.

Besides his promising future, there was another reason why she was so attached to Lin Xuqiu.

According to the original plot, after their family was framed by Pei Haoting, the second brother died, and Song Tinglan never remarried and stayed in the Song Mansion to die alone.

Lin Xuqiu, on the other hand, fell in love with Song Tinglan at first sight after meeting her at a Lantern Festival when he was young. After becoming an official in the court, he came to ask for marriage many times, but was rejected every time.

But he never married a wife and waited silently.

The more Pei Shao thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

This is a perfect match for Sister Song!

Moreover, at this time, Song Tinglan had met him accidentally.

If they were introduced to each other at this time, Lin Xuqiu would definitely propose to marry Song Tinglan in front of the Jinluan Palace after winning the No. 1 Scholar position in the following autumn.

It is a great honor for the Holy Spirit to grant marriage in person.

Listening to her inner voice, Cheng was also a little shaken.

"It's good for me to look at this child." Mrs. Cheng turned to look at the Queen Mother: "I don't want to pursue it anymore. I will discuss it with Mrs. Song after I bring the portrait back."

Although she has been persuaded and the balance in her heart has been tilted towards Lin Xuqiu, in the end Song Tinglan is only her nominal goddaughter, and these matters must be discussed with Mrs. Song. Seeing that she saw Lin Xuqiu, the Queen Mother didn't say much. Just when she was about to speak, before she opened her mouth, the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the palace.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is asking for an audience outside the palace. I wonder if she wants to be summoned?"

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up and she immediately said: "Quick, quick, please come in."

She turned to look at Cheng and asked, "The queen is coming. If you mind, you can stay away first."

Cheng didn't pay attention.

She had never met the Queen, so the Queen must have had little impression of her, a nobody, and there was no need to avoid him.

The Empress is the cousin of the Empress Dowager. She has been married to the current emperor since he was still a prince, and the relationship between the emperor and the empress is as deep as the sea.

The emperor was not a womanizer, and he only went to the harem a few times in a month, most of which were to the queen's palace.

The current crown prince and the third prince are descendants of the queen.

When she saw someone in the palace, the queen was obviously stunned for a moment, but her expression quickly calmed down.

Mrs. Cheng wanted to greet the Queen, but she waved her hand away.

"This is..." She turned to look at the Queen Mother with a confused tone.

"This is the Cheng family who saved me when I was in trouble in Yaozhou."

The Queen Mother smiled.

Although she traveled incognito back then, she became well known after the accident.

What's more, the queen is present, so there is no need to cover up.

The queen also understood after hearing this, and asked nonchalantly: "I see, it's just that I look a little familiar."

Mrs. Cheng was shocked.

She had never seen the Queen before, and the only time she had seen her was at the Hegong Night Banquet. However, her seat was arranged extremely far back at that time, and she could only look at the Queen from a distance. She really didn't expect that the Queen had such a good memory.

"I met my concubine once before at the Hegong Night Banquet. I didn't expect that my concubine would still remember me."

Cheng smiled gently, but felt a little anxious inside.

Now she already knows the identity of the princes of her two brothers, and now the person in front of her is Queen Nan Ruan.

She could still remember her as a faceless nobody at the Hegong Night Banquet. She really couldn't figure out what the queen meant.

I'm afraid it was because of Qin Liuliu's words at that time that she remembered her.

Cheng's back was broken into a cold sweat.

The Queen Mother has been living in seclusion all year round and did not even appear at the Hegong Night Banquet that day. She was a little surprised to hear what Cheng said.

"I didn't expect it." She smiled and said, "But it's okay to have met her. Jiaojiao doesn't have many close friends on weekdays. It's rare for you to fall in love with her, so why not come to the palace more often on weekdays."

Jiaojiao is the queen's nickname. After hearing this, the queen agreed with a smile, while Mrs. Cheng was frightened.

She really couldn't figure out the thoughts of the Queen and the Queen Mother, but she didn't dare to refuse, so she could only agree.

But I felt extremely regretful.

If I had known that I would bump into the Queen today if I came here today, I would not have come.

The queen had already turned to look at Pei Shao, her eyes full of interest and probing.

"This is?" There is only one princess in the palace, Princess Yongfu.

When she gave birth to the third prince, she had been looking forward to being a princess, but when she was born, she was actually a prince.

Unless something unexpected happens by the end of the month, it should be 6,000. Something will be explained.
