She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

Zhaoyun Temple.

Song Qingyan had just finished copying scriptures in the incense room and put down her pen when there was a knock on the door.

She thought it was a lotus leaf and said casually, "Come in."

However, the person who came in was an old woman, and judging by her dress, she must be a nanny from some mansion.

"You are..." Song Qingyan hesitated.

The visitor's attitude was somewhat arrogant, and he did not introduce himself. "Miss Song, my master wants to see you. Please follow me."

Song Qingyan was somewhat dissatisfied with her tone, "May I ask who your master is?"

The nanny said, "My master lives in the back hills of Zhaoyun Temple."

Song Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said respectfully, "Please lead the way, Madam."

Now there is only one person living in the back mountain of the temple - the current Queen Mother Xiao.

She has been coming to Zhaoyun Temple frequently recently, and heard from the temple abbot that Empress Dowager Xiao came to Zhaoyun Temple from another palace for a short stay.

This is no secret.

Zhaoyun Temple was built a hundred years ago and is one of the most famous temples in the prosperous dynasty with a strong incense.

Empress Dowager Xiao was a Buddhist and would choose a few days every year to stay in Zhaoyun Temple to worship Buddha.

But she was very confused, why did Empress Dowager Xiao want to see her?

With a nervous mood, Song Qingyan followed the nanny to a smaller Buddhist temple in the backyard of the temple.

This Buddhist temple has never been open to the public. I think it was used exclusively by Empress Dowager Xiao.

"Empress Dowager, Miss Song is here." The nanny said at the door of the Buddhist temple.

"Come in." Empress Dowager Xiao's voice sounded gentle.

The nanny didn't move and motioned Song Qingyan to go in.

When Song Qingyan stepped into the Buddhist temple, she saw Empress Dowager Xiao kneeling in front of the cushion in front of the Buddha, with her hands clasped together and her head lowered.

Song Qingyan quickly knelt down and said, "I am Song Qingyan, a commoner, and I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

After a while, Song Qingyan, who was lowering her head, saw a pair of luxurious women's shoes appear in her field of vision.

Then, Empress Dowager Xiao's voice came from above her head, "Raise your head."

Song Qingyan did as she was told, looked up nervously, and saw the true face of Empress Dowager Xiao.

Although Empress Dowager Xiao was over sixty years old, she looked much younger than her actual age.

Only her eyes, weathered and tattered, revealed that she had been through a lot in her life.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao was staring at her closely, Song Qingyan lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to meet her gaze. She became more and more curious about the purpose of Empress Dowager Xiao meeting her.

She remembered that they had never had any intersection.

After a long while, Empress Dowager Xiao finally spoke, "Get up."

"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother." Song Qingyan said.

As soon as she stood up, Mrs. Xiao asked, "How have you been these days?"

This made Song Qingyan even more confused, and she said carefully, "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. I am living well."

"Really?" Empress Dowager Xiao chuckled and waved to the palace maid beside her, who immediately took the others out.

"A few days ago, you were the popular Ning Wangfei in the capital, but now you have become Song Qingyan again. You can't even go back to the Song Mansion and can only live outside alone. Do you think it's good?"

These words hit Song Qingyan where it hurts.

Of course she didn't feel good.

She was once admired by everyone, but now no one cares about her. Only she knows how painful it is.

But she had no choice but to endure this period of time.

After Chu Tingjue’s matter is completely over, I will use Chu Tingyu’s background to choose a good marriage for myself.

But no matter how good she is, she can't compare to Li Jingwan, Song Qingyan thought unwillingly.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, with anger on her face, Empress Dowager Xiao curled the corners of her mouth.

"Song Qingyan, I will give you a chance to stand up again and climb higher. Are you willing?"

These words came so suddenly that Song Qingyan was startled and her eyes widened, not understanding why Empress Dowager Xiao said this to her.

"Are you willing?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked again.

"I..." Song Qingyan was confused and doubtful, "Queen Dowager, what do you mean...I am stupid, please explain clearly, Queen Dowager."

"Isn't it clear what I mean?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked back, but she also made it clearer, "I can help you become the most noble woman in the world."

"More noble than Prince Ning's wife, do you know what it is?"

Song Qingyan shook her head, looking nervous.

Empress Dowager Xiao said slowly, "Of course, she will become the emperor's woman."

Song Qingyan was shocked that Empress Dowager Xiao actually wanted to push her to the current emperor.

She knelt down quickly and said, "Queen Mother, I am already married."

"So what?" Empress Dowager Xiao sneered, "Didn't you already get divorced?"

"I..." Song Qingyan swallowed nervously, "The Queen Mother loves me, but I don't have this blessing..."

She did not dare to accept Empress Dowager Xiao's proposal and declined politely.

Concubine Zhong is her relative and the most powerful woman in the harem, Chu Tingyu's biological mother, so she doesn't dare to provoke her.

But Empress Xiao did not give up. Instead, she stared at her face and said, "You have this face, so you can enjoy this blessing."

Song Qingyan became even more confused, and Empress Dowager Xiao took the initiative to clear her up.

"Song Qingyan, you look a lot like someone."

Empress Dowager Xiao turned her gaze toward the outside of the Buddhist temple. She seemed lost in some memories, and her tone became more profound.

"When the emperor was still a prince, he doted on a woman, but she was unlucky and died early. The emperor was sad for a long time and he doesn't want to talk about it until now."

After a moment of silence, Empress Dowager Xiao looked at her again, "You look so much like Yunniang. I happened to see you a few days ago and thought it was her who came back to life."

Song Qingyan understood.

It turned out that she looked like Yunniang, so Empress Dowager Xiao asked her to come over.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness." Song Qingyan still declined politely, "I am a humble girl... I am not blessed enough to be favored by the emperor."

"I know you have concerns." Empress Dowager Xiao was not angry at her refusal again, "Go back and think carefully about whether you want to accept my proposal."

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing, I will definitely help you become the emperor's favorite concubine, even..." She paused, then said "...surpassing Concubine Zhong."

"I know that you want to find a good marriage in the future. But even though you are getting a divorce, Chu Tingjue is guilty and you can't be unaffected. Do you think your future husband's family can really accept you?"

"But if you become the emperor's woman, you will stand tall and high, and no matter how bad the words of those people below are, they will not enter your ears. On the contrary, they will fawn on you, please you, and flatter you, even more than before."

"Song Qingyan, I'll give you one last chance. Go back and think about it. If you're willing, come find me here tomorrow."
