PFC Chapter 486 Madam Shen
Chapter 486 Madam Shen
As for the Su family, Lord Su was in poor health, and his son-in-law was an official in his hometown, so he resigned from his post and returned to his hometown with his wife, daughter and son-in-law a few years ago. Emperor Qinglong never made things difficult for them.
After knowing everything, Ye Xuanke suddenly realized: "No wonder I always felt that Su... Oh no, it was Concubine Song. No wonder I always felt that Concubine Song looked familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere before. Now I realize that you really look like her."
After a pause, he added, "He is also very similar to Lord Song."
Song Shaoyuan and Song Muhua are twins, a boy and a girl. The brother and sister look very much like the old marquis, and Song Yunxi also looks exactly like the old marquis, so the three of them look very similar.
So compared to Song Shaozhang, Song Yunxi and her second uncle Song Shaoyuan are more like father and daughter.
Song Yunxi also admired their slowness. She and her aunt were so similar, but none of them had ever connected the two of them.
This time, Emperor Qinglong really met true love. In particular, his relationship with Song Muhua was established when he was hiding his identity. The two had many common topics and hobbies, and they were truly in harmony.
This made Song Yunxi sigh, what a passionate middle-aged love!
Emperor Qinglong had disbanded the harem once before. After getting to know and fall in love with Song Muhua this time, he felt that what Song Yunxi said was right. Those women should not be trapped in the deep palace for the rest of their lives and die in sorrow and depression.
He was finally happy, and naturally hoped that the women in the palace would also be happy.
Although I don’t have any romantic feelings towards them, I do feel that we have been together for many years.
Although because he was blind and only favored Shen Yaoqin, he did have less time to spend with them, which made him feel guilty and want to make up for it.
So this time he let go some of those who changed their minds and were willing to leave the palace, and he also gave them a lot of subsidies from his private treasury.
As for those concubines who had already calmed down or had no one to rely on at home and were willing to stay in the palace to spend the rest of their lives comfortably, Emperor Qinglong did not force them and still allowed them to stay in the palace and treated them well.
Looking at the entire harem now, the only real mistress is Song Muhua.
Ye Xuanqi said to Song Yunxi, "My mother knew about Concubine Song before she left. She thought that my father would sleep with her and promote her as he did in the past. But she never thought that he had been hiding his identity and had been on good terms with Concubine Song for so long."
Song Yunxi understood what the Queen meant. She could see that Emperor Qinglong truly loved Song Muhua.
Because true love will make you cautious, because true love will make you respect.
"My mother wanted to stay at the border forever, so it's wrong for her to occupy the position of empress. Now that my father and Concubine Song are in love, it's time for her to give up the position of empress."
This was what my mother meant. She thought that her heart was with the border and she should not occupy the position of queen any longer.
Ye Xuanqi continued, "My mother has already mentioned this to my father, but he refused."
"Noble Concubine Song also refused to accept the position of Queen."
After listening to this, Song Yunxi also said: "I also think that Aunt Qin should be the queen of the Jin'an Dynasty. No one can replace her."
The Qin family has given so much for the Jin'an Dynasty, and the queen even sacrificed her own life's happiness for the stability of the Jin'an Dynasty. Only she deserves the title of queen.
Moreover, she deserves all the honorable status in the world.
Song Yunxi also understood Emperor Qinglong and Song Muhua's thoughts. If they wanted to take away even the position of Queen, then one of them would be destroying the bridge after crossing it, while the other would be reaping the benefits of the others' success. They would be despised by the world and themselves.
So the matter of fighting for the position of queen was shelved.
It was not until Song Yunxi's body fully recovered that Song Wentian gave her the wooden box given to her by Old Madam Shen.
After reading Madam Shen's letter, Song Yunxi carefully examined the jade bracelet and said, "I never expected that half of my soul would always be by my side."
But she really didn't understand: "Isn't this jade bracelet in the hands of the Queen Mother? Why did it end up in the hands of Old Madam Shen?"
And in the end it was secretly delivered to her?
Song Yunxi really had too many doubts.
Song Wentian looked at Qin Xubai: "Your elder brother has already found out everything."
Qin Xubai also didn't expect that Old Madam Shen was the source of everything.
Although Madam Shen is a lady of high rank and noble family, she had to secretly follow a Taoist priest to practice Taoism when she was young because of her weak health. Therefore, she actually has very powerful abilities and skills.
She married Shen Wanming with the sole intention of living a life of taking care of her husband and children, and she even gave away all her dowry for the Shen family.
But she has never regretted it. In her heart, her husband and children are the most important to her, and she is willing to give everything for them.
But things did not go as she wished. When she was happiest, her husband passed away early, leaving behind the three of them, mother and son.
She was heartbroken and wanted to follow her husband, but when she thought of her two young children who still needed her care, she suppressed her grief and took on the responsibility of the entire Ningguo Mansion.
She raised her children in grief, and felt that she had lived up to the ancestors of the Shen family and her husband.
Until one day, when she, the old lady of the Ningguo Mansion, went to the palace for a banquet, she realized that her life was a complete joke.
The happy life she once thought was a joke, the love between husband and wife she once thought was a joke, her selfless devotion was a joke, and the fact that she lived by her husband's tablet was even more ridiculous!
That day she found out that her husband was not dead, but became a monk in Yunling Temple in order to practice the secret skills given to him by the Queen Mother and secretly work for her.
It was also on that day that she learned that her husband loved someone else, and that person was the current Queen Mother!
What’s funny is that all her dowry ended up in the hands of the Queen Mother.
The reason why Shen Wanming married her was simply because he was attracted by her generous dowry and believed that her dowry could help the empress dowager.
Especially when she heard her husband who had passed away many years ago and the Queen Mother, who was still Princess Miao at the time, mocking her for being stupid, wealthy, easy to control and exploit, she collapsed and wished she could rush in and kill the couple who had teased her.
But when she heard Concubine Miao's identity and purpose, she immediately calmed down.
After all, the other party was a concubine in the harem who was trusted by the late emperor and had always been famous for her virtue. Even if she exposed their ugly deeds in public, no one would believe her. Instead, they would say she was crazy.
What's more, the other party is the emperor's concubine, what can she use to fight with her? As long as Concubine Miao said that she wanted to assassinate her, not only would everyone think she was crazy, but she would also be accused of treason and lose her life.
It didn't matter if she died, but she absolutely could not let her children be implicated.
But she had been deceived and teased by this couple all her life, so how could she be willing to accept this without seeking revenge?
