Chapter 437: Empress Dowager Yang, Princess Wholesaler
In the middle of the hall was an elderly woman who looked like she was in her 80s and 90s and had chicken skin and hair. However, she had kind eyebrows and looked kind.
"What kind of person do I think I am? I'm still a child..." At this time, Shen Mo heard the old lady above say softly.
After he said this, some of the female officials and destiny around him covered their mouths and chuckled.
At this time, Shen Mo sighed softly and then came to his senses.
To be honest, he was not very nervous when he met Emperor Ningzong. However, this grandmother of the Song Dynasty, this time the news made him feel a little caught off guard.
After Shen Mo stood up, he saw that the golden beams and jade pillars in the hall were arranged in an extremely luxurious manner. It seemed that it was indeed a woman's residence, after all, there were more decorations.
In addition to the twenty-thirty noble ladies with pearls and jade heads in front of him, there were more than ten palace maids serving him in the hall.
In the two large copper incense burners on both sides, the sandalwood smoke slowly spit out from the mouths of the auspicious beast crane. In addition, the sound of the piano in the hall was swaying. There was a young man in white playing the piano slowly, and he did not look up at him. The old lady was wearing a fragrant robe, which did not look very luxurious, and she did not wear any jewelry on her body. However, although the old woman was sitting on the throne with kind eyes and a peaceful face, her majesty and power could not be concealed at all, and she could not hide it at first sight.
Then there was a feeling of being extremely solemn and not daring to be contemptuous.
The empress dowager smiled and raised her hand, stopping the movement of the palace maid next to her shaking the fan. She smiled and said to Shen Mo: "It's fine if you kid write the opera well. I heard that you have done a lot of big things, which is really valuable."
"I dare not be the queen mother to praise her," Shen Mo hurriedly bowed his head and thanked her humbly after hearing the queen mother's words.
"Those things are all happened by a boy, and they are all accidental accidents. This is the destiny of all heavens, and there is no way to help anyone." Shen Mo said with his eyes down.
After hearing what he said, the Empress Dowager put her elbow on the imperial throne, covered her sleeves and said with a smile: "I heard what you said, what is this?"
"In front of me, why are you still keeping your back... I'll take a few more steps and I'll take a closer look."
"My God!" Shen Mo's heart suddenly sank!
He originally wanted to pretend to be a good boy and make a coincidence in front of the empress dowager. Unexpectedly, after a few words, he was smiled and exposed his true face. The guy had to take two steps forward in disappointment.
"A pretty young man," the queen mother smiled and said, "It's a pity that she's married, otherwise..."
"Cough cough!" At this time, Chongfuhou, who was serving next to him, immediately coughed a few times, not allowing the empress dowager to continue talking.
Chongfuhou smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, don't be too busy showing off the princesses and princesses in your hands."
"Although this kid Shen Mo looks very well-behaved, he is actually a wise man of a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. I don't think it's very suitable for any princess..."
Chongfuhou said this sentence is very skillful. In fact, what is "the open-minded nature of a famous scholar?" Everyone can understand it at first.
It is certain that this kid Shen Mo is either having a hot temper or a weird personality. In short, if a woman who grew up properly from the palace is matched with him, the two of them will definitely not be able to get along with each other.
What's more, if someone does have a wife, there is no reason to let a dignified princess pass by and be a concubine.
Hearing Chongfuhou say this, the Empress Dowager also smiled and looked at Chongfuhou, then looked at Shen Mo, and shook his head with a silence. "Your birthday gift is good this time, especially my thoughts." The Empress Dowager smiled and said to Shen Mo: "What's more, your official family has done a few things, and he was born and forgot to break in the sea of blood. Although the official family has rewarded you, I haven't rewarded you yet. Tell me, what do you want to reward me?
?”
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Shen Mo knew that the old man had a double talk. It was obvious that last time he handed over all the bad achievements of the officials of the Later Party to Chongfuhou. Now this is the empress dowager's courtesy exchange.
Seeing that the old man was friendly and easy-going, with a sharp eye and meticulous mind, Shen Mo was truly half of the Song Dynasty today. In front of such a wise old man, Shen Mo no longer had to pretend to be anything, just say whatever he wanted.
However, as for what he wanted, Shen Mo hesitated for a moment. To be honest, Shen Mo really had to consider what reward he wanted. On the one hand, this empress dowager was not the current emperor, and it was impossible to directly give him an official position. But on the other hand, her authority was a little deeper than that of the emperor. In this territory of the Song Dynasty, she was a man.
I'm afraid there are not many things that I can't do. I saw Shen Mo think about it and his heart moved. Then he immediately said to the Empress Dowager: "A year ago, Weichen was still a small constable in the Qiantang County government office. At that time, Lu Yuntai, the wife of a junior at that time, was still a lady from an official family, but she did not abandon her despise and married me like this.
A small person.”
"Now the empress dowager is considered an official, and the villain dares to ask the Empress Dowager for a royal decree, which is also a reward for the virtuous wife in the family."
"Forget it!" After hearing Shen Mo's words, Chongfuhou gritted his teeth and exclaimed!
This kid is so smart!
You should know that no matter how smart and wise the Empress Dowager is, she is still a woman and she is the one who is the most apt to do in her life. Shen Mo’s reward this time was really clever!
His actions must have given him a lot of points in front of the Queen Mother.
Sure enough, after hearing Shen Mo's words, the old lady immediately sighed quietly and said, "No wonder you were able to write such deep and affectionate lyrics at such a young age. You are really a wonderful man with affection and righteousness!"
"I didn't expect that even though the marriage has been around for a long time, you still remember the kindness of your wife that day. This love is really valuable. Since that's the case, I will fulfill you!"
So the empress dowager turned around and nodded to a female official and said, "Go and prepare a set of third-rank imperial edicts and promulgated a matter of things. When Mr. Shen leaves later, go with him."
Chapter completed!
