Although Song Xibai did not approve of doing so, she would not object to Yuan Shen's decisions most of the time.
She was well aware of her position; there were things she could think but couldn't say.
No matter how good Yuan Shen is to her, this line cannot be crossed.
Yuan Shen stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"Originally, I was going to just give them a piece of my mind, but now that the Imperial Guard has been divided into eight, I plan to focus on training the Dragon Guard and the Tiger Guard, and give the rest honorary titles. I can just pick one for him."
Song Xibai sighed.
"Let's deal with this troublesome matter as soon as possible! The eldest princess has suffered enough at the Empress Dowager's place these past few days, so she shouldn't cause any more trouble. I'll go to Renshou Palace tomorrow to take over this mess and let the Empress Dowager rest and recover properly."
Yuan Shen hugged her with a grin.
"Thank you for your hard work, Qingqing."
After spending some time together and having lunch, Yuan Shen rested briefly before leaving Changqing Palace and returning to the front lines to handle government affairs.
After he left, Song Xibai sat in the room for a long time until Wei Hong came over to ask her something, which startled her awake.
"Call Dingxiang over here."
Wei Hong curtsied and withdrew.
A moment later, Dingxiang walked in.
"What do you want?"
Song Xibai pursed her lips and asked, "When you leave the palace in a couple of days, please help me find out where Meng Liang's original wife is now?"
Dingxiang's eyes widened in surprise.
Why are you asking about this?
Song Xibai sighed and rubbed her temples.
"His Majesty intends to grant Meng Liang and the eldest princess their wish, and the Meng family will obviously not let this opportunity pass. Marrying the princess would be a meteoric rise! Who could resist such temptation? His Majesty has already made up his mind, and I cannot object anymore. It's just a pity for Meng Liang's first wife..."
Dingxiang touched her nose.
"Well... I haven't told you about this before. After the incident, the first time Meng Liang came home, his old hag wanted to divorce him. Meng Liang's wife tried to commit suicide, but my grandfather saved her. She's staying at my house right now!"
Song Xibai stared at her in astonishment.
Why weren't you told about this sooner?
Dingxiang shrugged: "My grandfather said that you are now a concubine in the palace, and you have a lot of things to do. He told me not to bother you with such trivial matters."
Song Xibai remained silent.
"I've never seen you listen to the family like this before!"
Dingxiang spread her hands: "My mother wanted me to talk to you and find a way to remove Meng Liang from his post! But Sister Guan... who is Meng Liang's original wife, spoke to my mother and made her give up the idea."
"Sister Guan?" Song Xibai frowned slightly, then suddenly remembered something. "Is she the sister from the Guan family shop near your street?"
"Yes, yes! Sister Guan is such a good person, so gentle and virtuous. Everyone in our neighborhood praises her. Who would have thought she would encounter something like this... That old hag Meng is so wicked! Meng Liang didn't want to divorce his wife in the first place, but she forced him to."
