Chapter 208: Submission of the Decree (Part 2)

The official road in front of the Chu Palace was repaired very spacious and flat, and there was no sign of the people at all. It was a forbidden area, and there were only a group of imperial guards wearing armor and holding spears and big swords. They were responsible for the guard of the palace.

Such imperial guards were almost one after another, and there was almost no possibility of crossing them and sneaking into the palace.

A carriage, when the sun was in the middle, from far to near from the other side of the street.

The one who pulled the cart was two pure white foals. Around the cart, there were seven or eight cavalrymen wearing imperial guards following him. When they saw that the one sitting inside was definitely not an ordinary person.

In a blink of an eye, the carriages and cavalry had arrived at the gate outside the imperial city.

"Sir, we're at the gate of the city." A cavalry signaled the driver to slow down. The cavalry even strangled the reins of the horse. The speaker came to the window of the carriage and said respectfully.

The carriage stopped at this time.

A team of imperial guards saw them coming.

"Is it Zheng Xin inside?" Seeing the carriage, the colleagues accompanying the imperial guards were thinking about what the commander told him, so they asked.

Before the cavalry could speak, a crisp and pleasant voice of a woman sounded in the carriage.

"It's my official, this is the token." As he said that, a delicate jade hand lifted the curtain open, revealing the scene inside and the person sitting inside.

The patrol team was taking a quick glance inside and found that there was indeed only a young woman in the costume of an inner palace maid. In addition, those who protected her here were all acquaintances, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He personally took a few steps forward and took the token to check.

After checking, I confirmed my identity and the team looked a little more respectful.

The female officials in the palace all have official positions. In terms of grades, they are only higher than those of them. They often serve the king and queen, which is unusual.

The fate of these female officials in the future will either be favored by the king and stayed as concubines, or released from the palace and be granted the official and nobles as their wife. Whether they are stayed or released, their identities will be much more noble than those of them.

"Please come in." Because she is a female official and a person from the palace, when she enters the palace, she can take a carriage to the second level before getting off.

In order to avoid excessive contact with foreign ministers, it is also to take care of women's weak constitution.

The person responsible for driving for the female palace outside the palace is also the imperial guards in the palace, so there will not be too many taboos. Therefore, after confirming his identity, this team of imperial guards gave way to the carriage.

Only this carriage entered the city gate.

Although I entered the city gate, I encountered no less than five patrol teams along the way. When I arrived at the second level, the carriage could no longer continue to move in.

Zheng Xin ordered the carriage to stop, got off the car himself, and walked alone to continue walking inside.

After walking a long way, I entered the palace gate of the inner palace.

Along the way, many eunuchs from the palace salute her. This woman was a female official who served by the queen. Her status was quite high, which made many people curry favor openly and secretly.

From beginning to end, the female official smiled appropriately. Others greeted her and nodded and smiled. Her calm attitude made many people secretly sigh.

I thought that this woman is worthy of being one of the favored female officials in front of the queen. She has a good temperament and a generous demeanor, and has a demeanor.

The news of her return soon reached Song Xinyou's ears.

"Is Zheng Yatou back?" He was trimming his favorite plum tree branch and turned his head: "It's time, it's almost back. She's here, let her come in and see me directly."

"Yes, Empress." The person beside him replied.

Song Xinyou continued to trim the branches casually and without saying anything. This was actually a kind of exercise, not a labor.

After a while, Zheng Xin had already walked to the palace where the queen was, and after a step up the steps, a female official who was close to her was greeted.

"Axin, has the matter been done?" the other party walked up to her and asked in a low voice.

Being able to go out to do business is a test of your ability. If you do it properly, you will naturally increase your opinions. Therefore, there is a faint look of envy in the eyes of the other party looking over.

Zheng Xin nodded and said, "It's done. Lord Qian submitted an edict to the king. I'm about to go and submit an edict to the empress."

"The Empress is waiting for you in the small garden behind. Go quickly. In your spare time, tell me about the outside. "The female official said.

"This is natural." Zheng Xin nodded and went up the steps and entered the palace.

Because he knew where the queen was, he came in and went straight to the small garden.

In this palace, in addition to the rooms connected to the rooms, there are also several open-air places in the palace. Often these places are used to plant flowers and trees for people to enjoy.

Song Xinyou likes plum trees and planted many plum trees in her palace.

Although it is not the season when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, you can stand under the tree and occasionally do it yourself. The expression of pruning the branches is calmly pruning the branches. The expression of the branches remains unchanged. You said lightly: "Let her come in."

"No." The palace servant retreated.

After a moment, Zheng Xin walked over from the corridor and walked into the small garden.

"I have seen the Queen." When I came to the queen, Zheng Xin immediately bowed and said.

According to the rules, she has an official position and is a servant rather than a servant.

Song Xinyou looked her up and down and said with a smile: "You have worked hard all the way, but you have worked hard, get up and talk."

"Xie Empress." Zheng Xin dared to get up, but stood respectfully in front of Song Xinyou, waiting for the other party to ask questions.

"Are the matter done?" Song Xinyou said lightly after trimming another branch, turning back to the room.

"No." Seeing Song Xinyou walking towards the corridor, Zheng Xin hurriedly followed.

The eunuch and the palace servant followed behind, a distance from them. The two walked slowly in the corridor with calm expressions. At this time, the sun shone brightly and sprinkled down, and the palace was quiet and beautiful.

Zheng Xin was reporting what she saw and heard in the Shi family: "...The members of the Shi family are so bold, it is really hard to believe..."

When Song Xin heard that Zheng Xin told her about this, Song Xinyou smiled and said nothing for a moment.

Zheng Xin didn't know what the queen meant, and didn't dare to speak anymore. She just followed the queen and walked quietly.

After entering the side hall, Song Xinyou sat on the soft collapse, took the incense tea offered by the palace servant, and gave Zheng Xin another cup.

Taking a sip, Song Xinyou said, "I can't help it when I meet such relatives in the country who don't understand the rules and laws. It's just ignorant people. If our Wang family comes forward directly, it will be bad. Since we gave the generals to the Shi family, we feel that the Shi family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not completely useless, so they can make their own decisions."

"What the queen said is that when Xiaochen sees Mrs. Shi, he really has a bit of temperament. Later, when he found out, this Mrs. Shi was a distant branch of the Zhang family, a noble family. Although he was not a direct descendant, he had a bit of a demeanor, which was different from a woman from a small family."

Song Xinyou smiled and glanced at her: "You girl, you are very good at talking."

How could she not hear that this is Zheng Xin flattering herself indirectly. The Song family is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Song Xinyou is born in a family and is even more a legitimate daughter.

However, she was worried now. After asking the Shi family a few questions, she ignored it. After all, she gave everything to the Shi family now, and she couldn't help herself, so that's all.

When Song Xin heard Zheng Xin mention the aristocratic family, she became even more lazy.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came outside the door.

"Empress, I just got the news from the previous one, saying that the king sent someone to the Song family to summon two heads of the Song family!" After an eunuch came in, he told the queen that he had received the news.

After hearing this, Song Xinyou looked moved. She slowly got up from the soft collapse and walked slowly in the hall.

"Why did the king suddenly summon his father and the others? Could it be that something happened to the family?" Song Xinyou has always been very concerned about the family affairs.

Of course she understood that if she had no support from her family, she would be afraid that her future position would be lost.

Even if you have a husband's love, political affairs are often much more important than family affairs, and this is how it is in noble families.

The country cannot have too much authority, let alone nothing.

Even if she doesn’t care about herself, she still cares about her children. Without family support, how can her children become the prince in the future?

By the way, she is satisfied with everything now, but the prince's affairs make her feel a little uneasy - Wang Hongyi has not yet made his son the crown prince.

However, Song Xinyou knew how to behave. Although she cared about her parents' home, she never interfered in this matter.

And every time they summon their father and brother, they are reminded to do small things, be low-key and cautious in everything, and not be used as a target.

These attitudes cannot actually hide from Wang Hongyi. Wang Hongyi feels that she still has a bit of the style of Empress Changsun, and is basically satisfied.

The Song brothers and her brothers are both smart people, so they naturally know how to do it.

Therefore, although the Song family has been honored and favored for many years, they rarely bully men and women, and they are even more harmonious and wealthy in business.

Wang Hongyi was very satisfied with this.

However, the Song family did not make it official, but only gave it wealth.

Why did the king suddenly summon people from the Song family this time?
