Chapter 308

Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu in front of him with a daze, thinking to himself, Zhao Xu, you are the emperor of the Song Dynasty, it would be fine if you choose, but she actually wanted to make the decision for your younger brother at a young age. I, the queen, also in my eyes.

However, Empress Dowager Xiang, who was not the emperor's biological mother, knew very well that she could not say it. However, His Highness Duan was just a idle prince. Now that the official family is in full swing, there is naturally no possibility of that idle prince.

However, since the emperor made such a request, Empress Dowager Xiang, who is much more sleeker than the Empress Dowager, naturally knows exactly what he should do.

The Empress Dowager Xiang smiled leisurely and nodded slightly. "The official family has really grown up and has a brother. I think King Duan should be happy that he has a brother like the official family."

"What does the queen mean to agree?" After hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but be happy and couldn't wait to ask.

"The official family is the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and King Duan is your younger brother. Since you are willing to take charge of him, the Ai family naturally cannot ask for it..."

Although the atmosphere between Empress Dowager Xiang and Zhao Xu is not considered to be a kind mother and a filial son, it also seems very harmonious and relaxed.

After sending the official family out of the hall, Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu leaving with a smile, turned around and instructed the servants around him to go to the Chunqiu Palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

"Empress, do you really have to tell the Empress Dowager about this? After all, you are the queen of the official family..." a confidant female official asked in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is young and the Empress Dowager is in charge. How can you not know about the Empress Dowager's resurrection in such a big matter? Why should you make a comeback?" After glaring at the confidant, Empress Dowager Xiang walked down the stairs.

"I think who I am? It turns out that it is Xiang Yatou. Why do you have time to come to Ai's house today?" Gao Taotao saw Empress Dowager Xiang enter the hall, put down the brush in her hand, and waved intimately to let her sit beside her.

"My mother is so old and still works so hard. Today, my wife stewed a bowl of bright and clear soup, and I will send it to you..." Empress Dowager Xiang came to Gao Taotao and replied.

"Okay, it's really my good wife. Let's put it here. The Ai family will use it later. You come to Ai's house at this time. Could it be that you are just here to deliver soup, right?"

"My mother and queen have a clear understanding. Today, the official family went to the wife's place..." Empress Dowager Xiang would not hide it, so she greeted Zhao Xu to him today. After that, she saw the young girl in the palace there. The fact that the Xu girl was favored by the emperor, of course, the emperor wanted to take charge of her younger brother and told her about the marriage to the Wang girl.

"It is rare that the official family can still think of their younger brother and take on the responsibility of a brother. Finally, they are like an adult..." Gao Taotao nodded slightly and sighed.

But Empress Dowager Xiang lowered her eyebrows and stared at the Empress Dowager's expression quietly. After Gao Taotao pondered for a long time, he spoke. "Since the government likes it, let's stay the girl of Xu... Since the government is happy to make decisions for his brothers, then he will do it."

"However, the Empress of the Official Family, the Ai Family has already chosen a candidate..." After saying this, Gao Taotao's eyes fell on Empress Dowager Xiang.

The eyes were warm and clear, and it was hard to imagine that this was the eyes of a woman in her fifties and almost sixty years old. Such eyes made Queen Mother Xiang feel a little cold.

Empress Dowager Xiang quickly lowered her eyes and replied respectfully. "Of course, the mother is the master of everything, and the wife listens to the mother's queen..."

"Okay, it's all a family, don't make a fuss too much. In fact, you probably can guess the good person you like in Ai's family..." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, holding the Empress Dowager Xiang's hand.

"Is it because the Empress Dowager is talking about the Meng girl?" After hesitating for a long time, Empress Dowager Xiang said hesitantly.

"Yes, that girl. What do you think?" Gao Taotao nodded with satisfaction and asked Empress Dowager Xiang.

Queen Mother Xiang replied deeply. "The Meng girl is dignified, virtuous, smart and talented, and has a good deal of dealing with people. She is a very rare good man. If she can be granted a favor with the official family, she will be a rare good match."

"Okay, the Ai family's idea is the same as you, so this matter is settled. The Ai family is busy with national affairs, and the major marriage of this official family will be for you, the mother's mother..."

"Don't worry, my wife is not going to do her best." Empress Dowager Xiang nodded vigorously. After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted about some more gossip, Empress Dowager Xiang said goodbye and left.

I just left the door, but when I was down the steps, my feet were unstable and almost fell down, which made the palace maids and eunuchs around me change their faces.

After pushing away the arms that came to support her in a little annoyed, Empress Dowager Xiang turned her head and looked at the Chunqiu Palace where Gao Taotao lived, then she turned her head and continued to move forward. "Return to the palace!"

"The little wife has become the empress dowager. The old woman of the Ai family is indeed old..." After the Empress Dowager Xiang left, Gao Taotao looked at the direction of the palace gate with a smile, and said to himself tiredly.

"Empress Dowager Xiang is too unsatisfied, right? For the sake of her late emperor's empress, you have a dispute with His Majesty. I didn't expect that she would still think about it today..." Mr. Xu muttered in a low voice without sitting down.

"Talk too much!" Gao Taotao glanced at Xu Degong, but there was no sign of anger. "Don't gossip."

"Yes, Empress Dowager, old slave, I can't do it." Xu Degong quickly nodded and replied. "Empress, your Majesty issued an edict to encore this year, you..."

Gao Taotao nodded slowly and said, "The official has been ascending the throne for many years, but he has not yet been given a grace. This time, the official has announced the world itself to show the royal family's kindness. I don't know how many people celebrate. This is a good thing that brings together the hearts of scholars in the world..."

"Ai's family is old after all, and the government is growing day by day. Old women can't always regard the government as children... This is a good thing. Can the Ai's family still object? "

"Even those court officials, after hearing about Enke's incident at this year's age, wasn't there any one waiting for him? The old woman wouldn't be that annoying person."

"But, Wang Yang is probably one of the candidates that His Majesty wants long ago?" General Xu has not forgotten that Wang Yang offended him yet. It would be even better to be able to give this guy some eye drops from time to time.

"Let's take a look. If he is really a good piece of jade, then it might as well. If it weren't for the Ai family, watching for the late emperor and the official family for one day, wouldn't give those villains a chance to climb high."

"We in the Song Dynasty, thanks to the wise and calm person like you, the Empress, who would have been in charge. Otherwise, the late emperor would have gone early and the official family was young. If there were no Empress, I really would not know what it would be..."

"Okay, please flatter the Ai family and bring those memorials. The Ai family's business is not over yet..." Gao Taotao rubbed his red eyes and continued to force himself to look at the memorials of the ministers.

However, Gao Taotao ordered again as if he was casually speaking. "The official family's marriage is not careless at all. When the time comes, you remember to keep an eye on someone..."
