Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 298
"My concubine pays my respects to my mother!" Empress Liu came forward and bowed her knees to give a blessing.

The Empress Dowager Song got up from the side of the couch, walked back to the main seat and sat down calmly, then nodded slightly and said: "Why are you here at this time? Sit down!"

"Thank you, Empress!" Empress Liu smiled, and was supported by Nanny Liang to sit down on her lower head.

Just now Song Chuxi was surrounded by people, and she saw it when she entered, so she glanced at the apse and confirmed, "Is the girl from the Song family who went in just now?"

"Yes!" Empress Dowager Song took a sip of her tea with downcast eyes, "It's rare for her to come to Beijing, and Ai's family has nothing to do these few days, so I will send her to stay in the palace for a few days, so that I can accompany Ai's family to relieve boredom. This girl's health is not good, lest she be disrespectful in front of you, the Ai family will send her in."

"Everything the queen mother said was from her own family, and she said that she was not rude?" Empress Liu said, paused, and then added, "When Mrs. Liao came to the palace to pay her respects two days ago, she praised this girl for her beauty. The concubine has always wanted to see her, but she heard that she was unwell, so she didn't bother."

Song Chuxi is the niece of the Empress Dowager Song's natal family. It stands to reason that she should put on a show to show the empress dowager's face.

"That girl has a straight temper and doesn't know any rules, so she won't offend you." Empress Dowager Song said, while speaking, it happened that Bi Zhu brought the imperial doctor back outside.

Empress Liu turned her head to look over.

Madam Zhuang hurriedly saluted, and went up to meet her and said, "Queen Mother, I will bring the imperial doctor in first, so that Miss Fourth can have a look."

"En!" The Empress Dowager Song nodded.

The imperial physician saluted the two of them, and then carried the medicine box into the inner hall.

The Empress Dowager Song is very straightforward in her words and actions. She doesn't like to play tricks on concubines like Empress Liu, so she said bluntly: "The new year is coming soon, and you have a lot of things to take care of. This It's time to come over to Ai's house, do you have something to say?"

"Oh!" Empress Liu has been used to dealing with her for many years, so she quickly returned to her thoughts and said, "It's like this, the queen mother's birthday is coming, and the emperor stayed with my concubine yesterday. The concubine came over to ask, Empress Mother, look - what will you do this year?"

After all, they are not biological mothers and sons. The relationship between the Empress Dowager Song and the emperor is only on the surface. Usually, as long as the general public is passable, the emperor will not bother too much about the Empress Dowager Song.Originally, Empress Dowager Song's birthday was considered a big event, and he should have come to greet her in person, but now he only sent Empress Liu over.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Song didn't care about these things, she just said: "There is no need to do anything, it's the end of the year, and the Ai family won't make trouble for you."

Empress Liu took a sip of tea, still with a decent smile on her face, "Then follow the usual practice in previous years, call all the children over, and have a light meal together."

This so-called casual meal is considered a royal family banquet.

Every Empress Dowager Song's birthday is basically arranged like this. In the morning, she will symbolically summon a few wives to the palace to speak, and then the emperor will bring a few concubines and princes over to hold a banquet, which can be regarded as the most important thing on the scene. I have done enough work.

"Well! Let's do it this way!" The Queen Mother Song nodded, obviously not paying much attention to this matter.

Empress Liu was already prepared, so she beckoned.

The palace lady who followed her brought up a tray covered with a yellow cloth. She carefully lifted the yellow cloth with her golden armored hands, and took out a post that was placed underneath.

Nanny Zhuang hurried forward to pick it up and sent it to the Empress Dowager Song.

"This is the list of the wives who will be invited into the palace on the day of the banquet. The queen mother doesn't like to make noise, and the number of concubines is the same as in previous years. I try to simplify it. The queen mother has a look, but there are still needs to add or plan. What do you lose?" Queen Liu asked.

Empress Dowager Song opened the post, glanced quickly, and then handed it back to Nanny Zhuang.

"Just follow the post above!" The Empress Dowager Song picked up the teacup again and slowly picked up the tea leaves in the cup.

She already understood Empress Liu's intentions, because compared to previous years, among the wives to be invited into the palace this year, there was also the third wife of the Song family, Mrs. Liang.

Although Song Chufang entered the palace, her relationship with the Empress Dowager Song was very estranged. It was no wonder that Empress Liu made a special trip here to say hello to her first.

Empress Liu saw that she had no objection, although she didn't show it on the surface, she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Song suddenly asked again: "Didn't it be said that Prince Peng Ze will go to Beijing to attend the celebration ceremony in person this year? Is his trip scheduled?"

"Oh! The emperor just mentioned it yesterday, saying that he is already on his way, so he should—" Empress Liu said, "It will arrive within three or two days."

"Then send two more posts, and call the girl from Peng Ze and the seventh boy from Duanmu's family. Although the previous incident was the fault of Peng Ze people, it is better to solve the enemy than tie it. The emperor I can't lose face with Shao'er, so I'll let the Ai family take care of the peace. Anyway, this matter will be reconciled in the end, so there's no need to continue holding it like this."

Peng Ze's Longting guards rushed into the Prince's mansion to commit murder. This matter must be explained to Prince Peng Ze. This is for the sake of the dynasty's face.But as far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible for the two countries to go to war for this matter. In the end, it is just that Peng Ze people give in and give some concessions.Therefore, the situation on Princess Wenxin's side is about to start to ease.

"Yes! The empress mother is very thoughtful, and the concubine will do it when she turns around." Empress Liu naturally couldn't ask for more, and this compliment seemed a little more sincere. Patriarch Duanmu, do you want to invite me too?"

Inviting Princess Wenxin to come here is because of the overall situation, but Duanmuqi——

He and the Empress Dowager Song were not related or related.

Originally, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet here invited outsiders only to female relatives, and none of the courtiers called, but now Duanmuqi is invited alone?Empress Liu couldn't help being on guard.

"The Ai family just wants to meet that kid." The Empress Dowager Song said directly without hiding from her.
