At this time, the eunuch who announced the decree smiled and said to Zhao Song, "Master Taishi, congratulations! There are really happy events happening one after another in your family!"

"This father-in-law is very grateful." Zhao Songpi replied with a smile. He was also involved in Lin Xiran's previous incident, so he really didn't think there was anything good about this marriage.

"The grand master is really too modest." The eunuch who announced the decree said with a smile, but what he said shocked everyone here, "Not only is the second young lady's marriage confirmed today. Also, even the queen's mother

The family has also been sealed, which is not a great joy!"

"What?" Zhao Song exclaimed, "My father-in-law, what do you mean? You mean that the emperor sealed the queen's mother's family."

Not only Zhao Song, but other people on the side were also very surprised. However, at the same time, they also felt secretly happy in their hearts. Especially Zhao Song, what he was thinking about now was what kind of title the emperor would give him.

"Yes!" The eunuch who announced the decree knew that Zhao Song did not know, but he still pretended to be puzzled, "Just today, I believe that by this time, the decree has arrived at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion."

"Zhenbei Hou Mansion?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Song immediately asked, "What do you mean? Why are you going to Zhenbei Hou Mansion?"

"Of course we have to go to Zhenbeihou's Mansion!" the eunuch who announced the decree said matter-of-factly, "The emperor has awarded Zhenbeihou, Zhao Shizi, and two Zhenbeihou's wives!"

"Are there any others?" Seeing that the eunuch who announced the decree didn't say any more, Zhao Song quickly asked, "Besides them, are there any others?"

"No more." The eunuch who announced the decree smiled and shook his head, "Actually, the emperor already loves the queen very much. The Marquis of Zhenbei has been named the first-class Duke of Zhenguo, and the original prince has naturally inherited the position of Marquis of Zhenbei.

.And Zhenbeihou’s first wife, the original Princess Muya Duanmin of the third rank, has now been promoted to Princess Zhengzhen Guomin from the first rank, and has also been named the Duke of Zhenguo’s wife, while his ordinary wife Li

The clan has also been granted a royal title."

After hearing what the eunuch said, Zhao Song suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He had reminded the queen of this matter before. Unexpectedly, now that the great seal was being carried out, he was not involved. This is impossible, he is the queen.

Your empress’s biological father! How could you not reward him?

Seeing Zhao Song's shocked look, the eunuch who announced the edict pretended not to notice, "Master Taishi, I have finished reading the edict, and I have completed my task. I still have something to do, so I won't disturb you."

You guys."

After saying that, he left immediately without paying attention to the reactions of others. After Zhao Song heard the eunuch's words, he was so shocked that he didn't react at all, let alone make any efforts to retain him.

Zhao Keren had already returned to her yard and started to lose her temper. Now she no longer had to be imprisoned in a small yard, but she had to marry such a person and still be a concubine.

Until the eunuch who announced the decree left the Grand Master's Mansion, Zhao Song still stayed there, without any reaction at all.

Seeing Zhao Song's appearance, Qin Xianghe was very worried, "Master, you are okay."

However, Zhao Song seemed to have not heard her words and kept mumbling to himself, "No, no, the emperor will not do this to me. I am the head of the state!"

Seeing Zhao Song being so shocked, Qin Xianghe felt uncomfortable, but she didn't know what to say to comfort Zhao Song. Although she didn't know it clearly, she still felt vaguely in her heart

, Such a reward may not be the emperor's intention, but Zhao Keran's intention. However, although she had such a guess, she did not dare to say it out, firstly because it was just a guess. Secondly, even if it was true,

She also has no ability to change.

On the other side, it was completely different from the Grand Master's Mansion. After receiving the imperial edict of awarding the reward, everyone in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was overjoyed. Zhao Lin even smiled from ear to ear. He

He quickly stuffed a large stack of banknotes into the eunuch who announced the decree.

After receiving the award, the person who was most surprised was Li Fei'er. She never expected that she would be included in this reward. Although she had always been Zhao Lin's equal wife, but the equal wife and

There is a difference between a legal wife and a wife. Even though she is a wife, she does not have a legal life. However, she did not expect that she would still receive such honor and favor in her lifetime. And this kind of honor and favor was not because of her children.

, but was brought to her by her nominal granddaughter.

Regardless of the mood of those who received different imperial edicts, Zhao Keran is still in a good mood now. And today, Xiao Xiaoxiao went to the palace to visit her grandson.

What surprised Zhao Keran was that Xiao Xiaoxiao was the only one who entered the palace, and Situ Lingzhi did not follow him. You must know that in normal times, no matter where Xiao Xiaoxiao goes, Situ Lingzhi will follow him.

Seeing Xiao Xiaoxiao teasing Situ Hui, Zhao Keran was confused but did not ask. It was not until Hui'er was hungry that Zhao Keran asked someone to carry Hui'er down.

"Concubine, you are the only one entering the palace today, right?" Zhao Keran asked seemingly casually.

"Yes!" Xiao Xiaoxiao looked distracted, "I miss Hui'er, so I want to go to the palace to see him. By the way, of course, I want to go to the palace to live for a while, do you think that's okay?"

After hearing Xiao Xiaoxiao's request, Zhao Keran was really shocked, because no matter how much he tried to persuade her, she refused to enter the palace. But he didn't expect that today she would actually ask to stay in the palace. It's really strange!

"Concubine, what did you just say?" Zhao Keran thought he heard wrongly, "Can you say it again, I don't seem to have heard clearly."

"Of course, I want to live in the palace for a while." Xiao Xiaoxiao directly repeated what he just said, "I want to stay in the palace and take good care of my little grandson. Of course, you and Xu

Son, I also want to get along well with you."

"Concubine, did something happen?" Looking at Xiao Xiaoxiao's appearance, Zhao Keran couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen between you and your father? Otherwise, what would you do today?

How come you enter the palace alone?"

Zhao Keran still asked the question in her heart. She had already felt something was wrong ever since the mother-in-law entered the palace today. The mother-in-law only entered the palace alone, and her father did not enter the palace with her. Also,

Even though the concubine has been playing with Hui'er, she can still see that the concubine is absent-minded. And the strangest thing is that the concubine actually wants to live in the palace for a while. You know, for the concubine,

She said that the palace was her least favorite place. She had lost too many things because of this place.

After hearing what Zhao Keran said, Xiao Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and her face became a little unnatural, "Keran, what are you talking about? What could happen to me! I just miss Hui'er, that's why I want to enter the palace

Just staying for a while.”

"Concubine, you know me very well." Zhao Keran took a sip of tea and said, "I am not one of those ignorant little girls. I can still tell if something has happened. All along, the palace has

It’s a place you avoid, but today you have to live here for a while. If something hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t have done so.”

"You think too much." Xiao Xiaoxiao denied, "I just want to pay attention to the time in the palace. Where did you come from so many guesses."

"Mother, please don't hide it from me." Zhao Keran said, "When you came today, my father didn't come with you, and I already felt very strange. Now you also say that you want to live in the palace for a while.

Time, it would be even stranger."

After a pause and a look at Xiao Xiaoxiao's face, Zhao Keran continued, "If my guess is correct, something must have happened between you and my father, right?"

After hearing what Zhao Keran said, Xiao Xiaoxiao frowned and the look on her face became very strange. She was very entangled in her heart and didn't know whether she should say it out. But if she really wanted to say it out, she didn't know.

How should I speak? After all, things are too complicated.

"Mother, concubine, what happened between you and your father?" Zhao Keran couldn't help it anymore and got to the point directly, "I can see that all the entanglements you have now are because of your father."

"Alas -" Xiao Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh and then said, "But you really can understand people's thoughts! I didn't expect that I can still be seen through by you after living for so many years.

.Yes, you guessed it right, something did happen between me and your father."

"Then what's going on between you?" Zhao Keran asked curiously, "You should know how father feels about you. For so many years, he has actually been thinking about you.

.Everyone says that he dotes on Concubine Yun. However, if you have met Concubine Yun, you should know that she is just your substitute."

"Of course, I believe you also know what happened between me and him back then." Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes were blurred and she was lost in memories. "When we met back then, I was just a hairpin girl. I should be considered important to him.

It must have been love at first sight! But our love still failed to have a happy ending."

"Mother and concubine, your story has not ended yet." Zhao Keran persuaded, "You are still here, and your story can still continue. No matter what happened to you before, you still have a chance to be here now.

Together, that is enough. Moreover, I believe that my father is still sincere towards you."

"I know he is sincere." Xiao Xiaoxiao's tone was full of melancholy, "But there are too many obstacles between him and me. Even if he is sincere, there is no way to bridge the gap between us."

"Mother, are you helpless or unwilling?" Zhao Keran asked softly, "Actually, you know what my father wants, but you have been running away. I know that is because back then.

The hurt you have received is too deep, so you can't trust your father now. However, you can still give him a chance!"

"The chance between us has long since disappeared." Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Back then, he said he liked me, but in the end, he married Lin Fengyi. The me back then, maybe

It's better to blame him! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so decisive."

"But, mother concubine, when you were willing to enter the palace, didn't it mean that you had love for your father?" Zhao Keran said, "As long as there is love between two people, no matter what kind of obstacles there are

Solve it. Moreover, there is no obstacle between you now. In this case, why don’t you give my father a chance?"

"Of course, when I entered the palace, it was just to give him and us a chance." Thinking of what happened back then, Xiao Xiaoxiao still felt very uncomfortable, "But in the end, I still couldn't help it.

I want to live in the palace. That’s why I ran away. Maybe we are not suitable for each other!"

"Mother, did you really work hard back then?" Zhao Keran asked back, "After you were framed, have you ever thought about fighting back? Have you ever, just once, worked hard for your future?"

"But, what exactly do you want to say?" Xiao Xiaoxiao's tone was a bit harsh, "Do you mean it's my fault that we are like this today?"

"I've never said anything like that."

Zhao Keran was not angry because of Xiao Xiaoxiao's tone. She said calmly, "Actually, it is definitely not one person's fault that you have reached this point today. The relationship between two people requires the efforts of both parties."

Yes, it is difficult to achieve happiness with only one person's efforts."

"I have worked hard before!" Xiao Xiaoxiao retorted, "Otherwise, why would I have chosen to enter the palace back then! I just wanted to work hard for our future! But what did I gain? Someone from the harem came in

One woman after another, but I can't object."

"Mother, when you and your father fell in love, you should have known that the most important thing in the man you loved was his country!" Zhao Keran said, "In his heart, power is always more important than love.

It is important, so he must marry a woman who has one to consolidate his power. However, if you really want to help him, you can."

"How can I help him?" Xiao Xiaoxiao laughed at herself, "I am just an ordinary civilian girl, with no power or influence."

"Mother, concubine, sometimes you don't have to be powerful to help someone." Zhao Keran smiled faintly and said, "In fact, as long as you could protect yourself back then, you were already giving your father the greatest support. Always.

From now on, you have thought that it was the queen who caused you to be like this, and your father also has a certain amount of responsibility, right?"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Xiaoxiao said, "If it weren't for the queen, I would not have left the palace at all. Moreover, my relationship with Xu'er would not have become what it is today."

"Mother, if you really think so, you are wrong." Zhao Keran said directly, "Actually, to put it bluntly, the reason why you are like this today is, in the final analysis, your own fault. But.

This does not mean that I am saying that the Queen is right. What the Queen did was indeed very cruel. But why did her plan succeed?"

"Keran. What exactly do you want to say?" Xiao Xiaoxiao's face turned very ugly, "Do you want to accuse me today?"
