Chapter 172 Gifts

When you enter the palace, you use the carriage sent by the palace, and when you leave the palace and return home, you still use the carriage sent by the palace.

Song Qinghuan didn't feel happy at all from the time she left the palace until she returned to the Song family. Empress Dowager Jiang was doing this for her, but not everyone could afford this kind of honor.

Aunt Gong did not follow her out of the palace anymore. Song Qinghuan was sitting in the carriage. From a distance, he saw a lot of people gathered outside the gate of Qibei Houfu, and he didn't know what they were doing.

She frowned slightly and whispered to the eunuch driving the carriage, and then the carriage entered the back door of Qibei Houfu again.

After receiving the letter, Xiao Yun hurriedly went to the back door, rewarded the eunuch driving the car with a thick bag of silver beans, and sent him out politely, so that the mother and daughter could talk to each other.

Song Qinghuan said: "I see there are many people outside the door, but what happened?"

Xiaoyun also frowned and sent away all the maids and women, and then walked with Song Qinghuan and said: "The reward in the womb will come to you before you enter the palace."

Those rewards flowed from the palace all the way to the Song family, and the eunuchs and maids lined up in a row. What a pomp.

These things were all rewarded by Empress Dowager Jiang. They are all valuable, so you have to accept them even if you don't accept them.

The Song family has been in the family for many years, but they have never been so envied by others, not even when Song Qinghuan married into the Yiwang Palace.

Xiaoyunshi added: "Not only did the palace send rewards, but your father's transfer documents were also sent."

Song Wende just held the title of Marquis of Qibei and got a job in the court that was so idle that it would make grass grow.

You can go out to the streets and drink tea with just a few cents a day. Your salary is so small, you have nothing to do, and it is not an important position, so it is naturally looked down upon.

Now the transfer is still a casual job, but it is an important position, and the status has been improved to more than one level.

Those people outside the gate are not all here to give gifts when the wind blows.

Xiao Yun didn't come from a small family. The matters in the court were very involved. These people were just flattering others and trying to flatter others. She was not willing to get involved, so she had to stay outside.

.

Song Qinghuan looked very unhappy.

It is true that the Song family was not valued by others, even to the point of contempt, but no one thought that the Fang family would be in the eyes of others.

Song Qinghuan now understood why Princess Rouzhen hesitated to speak before leaving the palace.

She sighed softly, took Xiao Yun's arm, put her head on the shoulder of Xiao Yun, who was slightly shorter than herself, and said softly: "Mom, I must have gotten into trouble."

At this moment, Song Qinghuan extremely regretted his reckless behavior that day.

According to moral standards, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. It was an excellent thing for her to save the lives of the Queen Mother and her concubines.

But the Queen Mother is not such a kind person.

There are a large number of rewards and transfers to important positions. These are things that ordinary people can't ask for, and they are also supreme honors in the eyes of others.

But anyone with a clear mind should know what the Queen Mother meant by this move.

It was obvious that she was thanking Song Qinghuan for saving her life. When she became the Queen Mother, she was also a Queen Mother who knew how to repay her kindness.

But secretly she told those courtiers in the court who opposed her that as long as they followed her, she would never treat anyone badly.

Whether you want wealth and honor, or promotion, she can give it to you.

But how long can the Queen Mother live? Her grandsons and great-grandsons have all been born. How can hegemony still compete with those young people?

The Song family originally wanted to stay away from these whirlpools of power struggles because of the military power in the hands of the Yun family, but unexpectedly, because of her impulsive idea, the Song family was pushed into it.

Xiaoyun knew what Song Qinghuan meant, reached out and patted the back of her hand, and said comfortingly: "I don't blame you for this. If I didn't save the Queen Mother, we would also be involved in other princes."

The Yun family in the northwest and the Cao family in Liaodong control half of the military power of Dali. Those princes who are eager to take the throne will sooner or later make plans for them.

For example, isn't it Xiao Wei who was at the forefront?

It's just that Xiao Wei is now surrounded by enemies and can't get up for a while.

Mother and daughter were worried about this matter, and Song Wende, who received the transfer document, was not happy either.

He didn't want to be transferred.

Song Qingyan is young. Although she is much more mature and stable than other girls of the same age, she is still young after all.

I didn't know how powerful this was, but I was so excited when I saw the precious rewards that were displayed all over the house.

He looked at it this way, that way, and wanted to touch it, but he became timid again.

Since she was born, the Song family has begun to decline. By the time she becomes sensible, the precious things of the Song family will be gone. From now on, all she will see is nothing more than an empty trap for the Marquis of Qibei.

Basket.

As soon as Xiaoyun entered the room and saw Song Qingyan's shallow-eyed appearance, she immediately felt a pang in her heart.

Thinking back to the time when she was in the Yun family, even though she was born as a concubine, she could see that she knew much more than Song Qingyan, who was born as a legitimate daughter now.

She had seen South Pearls as big as her thumb, red corals several feet high, and bloodstones as bright as blood, but Song Qingyan had never seen any of these, let alone owned them.

That is to say, Song Qinghuan now has two shops and has added something that she didn't have before.

No one paid attention to Xiao Yun's expression, but Song Wende sat on a high-backed chair and sighed.

Before Song Qinghuan left, he glanced at the transfer documents on the table and thought that Song Wende was also worried about being involved.

Then he smiled and said, "Dad has been promoted to a higher rank, so why aren't you happy?"

Song Wende was a man of little promise. He only cared about the elegant things of calligraphy and painting. The idle posts he held in the past, not to mention the salary, were not very respectable by others. The advantage was that he was free and did not have to bear any responsibilities.

After ordering a meal every day, you can go out to enjoy tea, calligraphy and painting.

Now that I have been transferred to an important position, although I don't have much to do, the burden is heavy, and it is naturally incomparable to the past.

Seeing Song Qinghuan ask, he sighed again: "Your father, I don't want to be transferred. I have a lot of freedom in my current job. If I am transferred, I will lose my freedom."

After a pause, he asked Song Qinghuan: "Can you talk to the Queen Mother and stop asking me to be transferred?"

Song Qinghuan raised her eyes to look at Song Wende and saw that his face was full of sorrow, but it didn't reach his eyes. He thought he was really worried about the lack of freedom in his new job.

Suddenly, a most appropriate word came to mind to describe her cheap dad.

Adou who cannot be helped.

No wonder the Song family is in decline, and it’s not without reason.

Although the Song family was flattered by Empress Dowager Jiang's favor, they still had to put away the rewards they deserved. Although Song Wende was extremely reluctant, he still went to take up his new post.

The next day, Song Qinghuan followed Xiaoyun to the palace and went to Queen Mother Jiang to express her gratitude.

I thought this was the end of the matter, and I never thought that the trouble would still come later.
