"Niangniang, it's already noon and I still have to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager.”Xiao Hong's voice interrupted Su Luoxi's dream. There, she saw a young man in white standing under a peach blossom tree. His figure was still as cold as ever, but before she could walk over, she was woken up.
She had not forgotten him. What was wrong with her? She was just a passerby when she was young and was not worth remembering. But every time she thought about it, a voice in her heart would tell her that that person was not a passerby, but someone worth remembering for the rest of her life.
"Empress, what's wrong?" Xiao Hong raised her hand and waved it in front of Su Luoxi, but there was still no reaction. Could it be that the Empress missed Young Master Lin again? This was not allowed, but she could not persuade the Empress. The walls had ears.
"Little Red, what did you just say? Bengong is going to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager?" Heavens, what time was it now? If he went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager now, he would definitely be scolded. It was all that damned Lian Jinzi's fault for making her fall asleep so late.
As if guessing Su Luoxi's thoughts, Xiao Hong said,""Niangniang, the emperor has already sent someone to tell the empress dowager that you are very tired today and will pay your respects later.”After saying that, Xiao Hong burst into laughter and looked at Su Luoxi ambiguously. The Emperor and the Empress were so loving.
Hmph, don't think that I won't blame you for this. Uh, what is this? Why was there something red on the bed? She raised her head and saw the smile on Xiao Hong's face growing even more ambiguous. Su Luoxi's face flushed red. He actually did this for her. What was he trying to do? Announce to the entire harem that they were going to have one more opponent? "Call Little Yu along. Let's go pay our respects together.”
Outside the Cining Palace, many voices could be heard even before they entered. It seemed to be very lively.
"Empress Dowager, ChenQie has come to pay her respects to you.”As soon as she entered, she realized that many vicious eyes were staring at her. If it was really Su Luoxi, she would have been trembling in fear. And she did not care about that.
"Come, come, come over to this widow.”
The empress dowager looked at Su Luoxi lovingly. It seemed to be a little different from what she had imagined. Wasn't the empress dowager on TV always vicious and serious? Su Luoxi sat down beside the Empress Dowager with doubts in her heart. The Empress Dowager's next words successfully made Su Luoxi blush.
"Zi 'er must have tired you out last night. You're a young man, it's inevitable.”The empress dowager covered her face and laughed as she spoke. Her Zi 'er had told her yesterday that Su Luoxi was a trustworthy person, and she trusted his judgment.
Who said the Empress Dowager was kind? Wasn't this an invisible killer? Didn't she see that the women beside her were looking at her as if they wanted to kill her? Out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to have seen a familiar person. Was that Qingyan? Why did she feel so unfamiliar? No wonder she didn't notice her when she first came in.
She wore a pink rose-scented tight-fitting robe with sleeves and a green muslin skirt with scattered flowers. Her waist was tied into a big bow with a golden silk soft muslin. Her hair hung down and she was inserted with a jade phoenix hairpin. Her figure was slender and charming. Although she was more beautiful than before, she lacked the innocence and sweetness of the past. At this moment, she was also staring at her. Her eyes were clearly filled with hatred. Perhaps she should not have come here, so Qing Yan was still the Qing Yan in her heart. She did not want to believe that she would change so quickly. As expected, the moment she entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea.
She began to doubt the accuracy of her coming here. Perhaps Qingyan had already become one with this place and no longer needed her. Then she only needed to silently support Qingyan here and protect her. After the matter was done, she would wander all over the world. Should she acknowledge Qingyan? So what if they recognized each other? She had a premonition that Qingyan would not return and would not be willing to leave with her.
"Xi-er, why are you in a daze? Tell mother if Zi-er treats you well.”The Empress Dowager's kind voice interrupted Su Luoxi's thoughts. By the time she reacted, only she and the Empress Dowager were left in Cining Palace.
"The emperor treats ChenQie very well, gentle and considerate.”Su Luoxi lowered her head shyly as she spoke. The gentleness of her lowering her head was like a lotus flower that could not withstand the cold wind. However, the truth was that she was extremely shy on the surface, but on the inside, she kept scolding Lian Jinzi, this hooligan. The Empress Dowager was very satisfied, but she pitied Lian Jinzi.
In the royal study, Lian Jinzi was concentrating on reading the memorial. A powerful stream of air burst out. Achoo, Achoo.
The small table rushed forward in a panic." Did the Emperor catch a cold? Do you want to call the imperial physician?" Could it be that it was too intense last night and he was tired?
Looking at the conflicted look on the small table, Lian Jinzi could guess what he was thinking. It was fine if he was misunderstood like this. Qiran would not come and harass him for a while. He was just curious about how regretful Qiran would be if she knew that Su Luoxi was no longer Su Luoxi. He could not help but smile.
This scene changed the mood in Little Table's heart. The Emperor laughed after sneezing for no reason. He must be thinking about Concubine Xi. The two of them saw that things had not worked out even after a while. Poor Concubine Xi. She would probably be bombarded in the future.
