The Empress Dowager pointed to the calm woman beside Wenqin and asked with a smile.
Shangguan Hui was blessed with her and replied leisurely, "Reply to the Queen Mother's words, the daughter of the minister is Shangguan Hui."
The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, "Well, although the Ai family has lived in the deep palace for a long time, they know a little about the outside world. I heard that you are brave enough to block the emperor's arrows, but his savior."
"The word "savior" is a benefactor. I must not be a lie! The incident happened suddenly, and only the only one of the emperors was around the emperor. I didn't think so much, I only knew that the emperor's life was related to the safety and prosperity of the entire Southern Dynasty, and there was no need to be a problem.
”
The empress dowager pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Shangguan Hui with a little more admiration.
"He's a good boy who is sensible."
Next, the Empress Dowager, who had not met for a long time, started a warm chat with Wenqin. During this period, Shangguan Hui always sat quietly on the side without saying a word.
Time passed quickly, and in a flash, it was noon!
The Empress Dowager ordered the meal to pass on the meal, insisting that Liu Wenqin and Shangguan Hui come down to have lunch with her. Perhaps it was because she had been living in the deep palace for a long time and was lonely for too long. At this time, the Empress Dowager was like an urgent matter in Shangguan Hui's eyes.
The 'child' who longs for company is very pitiful.
The three of them sat down at the rosewood dining table, holding up their chopsticks and about to have a meal, a senior nanny who looked a little old walked in quickly. After Fushen gave the ceremony, he said a little uneasy, "Empress Dowager, the previous dynasty
Something happened!"
Upon hearing this, the empress dowager put down the silver chopsticks she had just held in her hand. She seemed to have expected the situation to be serious and frowned tightly.
"What happened?"
"I heard that it was the northern barbarian soldiers who were invading. The emperor was so arrogant. Now everyone in the previous dynasty was in danger. The regent and several other relatives had been summoned to the palace by Xuan. At this time, he was going to the study room to discuss this matter with the emperor."
The barbarians in the north?
Shangguan Hui knew everything about the maid's words. The so-called northern barbarians refer to refugees in the wilderness area further north of the northern country. It is located in barren barbarians and the land is barren, and most people make their living by nomads.
Although poor, they are strong and powerful. Perhaps due to the growing environment, the men in the Northern Barbarians all grew extremely strong, and because they have been making a living in the wind, rain, dust and sand all year round, they have created their ability to endure hardships. Anyone with the soldiers,
Everyone is willing to endure hardships. Over time, their troops will become stronger and stronger.
This time, the Northern Barbarians attacked rashly, which made her faintly smell a trace of conspiracy. First, the Northern Barbarians are far from the Southern Dynasty. If a large army attacks, they will inevitably pass through the northern country. The Northern and Southern Dynasties are the same.
The friendship between allies has been formed, so how could he watch the soldiers invade the Southern Dynasty without any trace of the wind? Furthermore, if the Northern Barbarians simply wanted to plunder money and property through war, they would definitely not choose the Southern Dynasty, which was farthest away from them.
At least the Xixia Kingdom, which has abundant resources, is a place that can provide them with many conveniences. The reason why they chose the Southern Dynasty with a long distance is probably not just to plunder money and property...
"If something happens, something happens. What can you solve when you tell the Ai family?"
The queen mother picked up the silver chopsticks again and started lunch slowly. As for the urgent matters that the nanny had just mentioned, she just pretended that she had not heard it.
Now in this harem, the power is in the hands of Concubine Xiao and Empress Xiao Yunxi. Even though she is known as the Empress Dowager, she has no real power. Even if she learns that something happened in the previous dynasty, she can only stand aside and do it in a hurry.
, it would be better not to listen or watch, and just be her queen mother in this deep palace.
