For the past few days, it seemed that in order to make up for the guilt she felt towards me regarding the conferment of the title, Xuan Ling had spent almost every night in the Mist Will Pavilion. For a time, the harem was in an uproar. Although all the palaces had sent gifts, who was sincere? Zhen Huan was even more jealous. She accompanied Xuan Ling in Yiyuan Hall every day. Xuan Ling handled the court affairs while Zhen Huan was by her side. Zhen Huan was the only one in the entire harem who received such treatment.
In this life, Concubine Hua was not killed by Xuan Ling, but Zhen Huan was favored and fought for favor. The plot was already different. The Empress Dowager was not feeling well and had been bedridden, so she did not know about Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang being consorts. When she recovered, the Empress went to report on the situation in the harem. The Empress Dowager could not sit still when she heard this. Thus, today, the Empress Dowager gave a banquet to the concubines in the harem.
Yongshou Palace, Yihe Pavilion.
The Empress Dowager had her hair combed high into a bun, and she wore ten pairs of colorful cloud hairpins. Her appearance was dignified, and her clothes were gorgeous yet elegant. His taut face was a little pale under the thick rouge, his skin was swollen and loose, and his eyebrows and eyes were tired and tired. His eyes were calm and gentle, but there was a hidden sharpness in them. He sat in front of the hall with a faint smile.
Xuan Ling wore a tall jade crown on his head and a dragon robe with golden threads. The dragon robe emitted a jade-like luster, causing his entire person to look extremely dazzling.
The Empress gracefully sat on the lower left side of the Empress Dowager, and the other concubines sat in turn.
He looked at the entire banquet. This time, the banquet was held in the elegant Yihe Pavilion. On both sides of the banquet, there were clusters and branches of gorgeous and beautiful chrysanthemums. There was a huge carpet in the middle of the hall, embroidered with hibiscus totems and auspicious clouds.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said," When one is old, it is inevitable that one will feel lonely. Thus, I wanted to hold a banquet to liven things up, but I didn't expect the Emperor and Empress to come!”
Xuan Ling smiled faintly,"Empress Dowager, what are you saying? This is my duty as a son."”
The Empress smiled gracefully and said,"The Empress Dowager has invited me, and I can't wait!"”
After a round of polite praises, the banquet went on as usual. Today was not just a simple banquet!
At this moment, Noble Qi stood up calmly and bowed respectfully. She smiled shyly and said," I have always admired the Empress Dowager's beauty. Now that I have seen the Empress Dowager, I am very excited and happy. I would like to play a song for the Empress Dowager to express my filial piety!”
As soon as she finished speaking, all kinds of strange gazes sized up Noble Qi. They all hated her for stealing the limelight in front of the Empress Dowager.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager was interested. She smiled and said," En, he's a sensible child.”
Xuan Ling and the Empress nodded in praise.
Noble Qi was dressed in a pink pear flower palace dress. Her skin was whiter than snow. She walked leisurely to the center of the hall with pride in her eyes. She bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager and began to play. Her zither music was very beautiful. It flowed out slowly like a swimming dragon, winding and spiraling, as if it had become a spiraling note. After dancing around, it slowly entered everyone's body, making it impossible for people not to be moved.
It was a long time after the song ended that everyone woke up from their dreams. They recalled what had just happened and felt like they were in a dream.
"Noble Qi's zither skills are indeed superb! Reward!" Xuan Ling clapped and praised.
The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction. You deserve to be rewarded!"
Noble Qi smiled shyly and said," I have no talent. I only hope that the song I play can make the Empress Dowager smile. This is the best reward!"”After saying that, she bowed respectfully.
The concubines gritted their teeth in hatred. Who didn't want to gain the Empress Dowager's favor? However, Noble Qi was still so good at talking. He was not as jealous and clumsy as before! Therefore, the concubines looked at her with even more secrecy.
The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction." You are indeed a good child. You are indeed the daughter of a meritorious minister!" The Empress has taught you well!"
The Empress smiled gently." It's not that ChenQie taught you well. It's that noble Qi is talented!"”Everyone also nodded and congratulated him.
Noble Fu stood up and bowed respectfully with a faint smile." Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I also know how to play a song. I'm willing to play a song for the Empress Dowager to make the Empress Dowager smile!”
This Fugui had always been at odds with Noble Qi. Now, the two of them were together again.
The Empress Dowager lightly said,"Alright, it's allowed."”
Noble Fu smiled proudly and sat down. Her slender fingers moved to the side of the zither, and suddenly, a beautiful zither sound slowly flowed out. This time, the sound of the zither was very mellow and gentle. It changed into an unfathomable thread of emotion that flowed lightly in the air. It was faintly discernible, but it firmly hooked everyone's ears and gently touched their hearts.
When the song ended, everyone applauded.
The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and said," Not bad, very good. Now the harem is full of talents! It's truly the blessing of our Great Zhou!"
Xuan Ling's gaze was indifferent as he said," Indeed, you played very well. Reward!"”
The Empress smiled kindly." Empress Dowager, Emperor, since it's a family banquet, why don't we let all the younger sisters come forward and perform?”
The empress dowager smiled and nodded without saying a word.
All the concubines in the harem were eager to try. If they could obtain the Emperor's favor and the Empress Dowager's approval, this would be a rare opportunity to make a name for themselves in the harem! Perhaps she would even be favored like Zhen Huan.
The queen made flowers on the wall to watch but not to play. Xin Guipin played a flute. Noble Rui's beautiful vertical flute attracted butterflies. Noble Xiang's water sleeve dance attracted people's attention. Noble Fu Cha's sword dance was valiant. The guzheng in Mei Zhuang's house was like a mountain and a flowing water.
These performances were all to make the old man happy, and they were well-behaved but did not lose their style.
Zhen Huan stepped forward and bowed. She was dressed in a large red and pink peony green muslin, a jade phoenix hairpin, a pearl jade hairpin, and a silver-gilded butterfly flower hairpin. Although her face was covered with thick makeup, her features were still extremely exquisite. A pale pink cherry blossom suddenly bloomed on her forehead. Her eyes revealed the same arrogant expression as Concubine Hua.
She looked at Mei Zhuang and said with a smile," ChenQie doesn't have any talent. Sister Mei's guzheng just now had the charm of high mountains and flowing water. It's just that this is too refined. ChenQie also plays the same song and is willing to compete!"”Zhen Huan's words were too bold. The Empress asked the concubines to perform to please the Empress Dowager, but Zhen Huan's words made her jealous.
Mei Zhuang looked at Zhen Huan with a half-smile and drank without saying a word. The Empress Dowager only nodded with a faint smile.
Her slender fingers quickly and skillfully plucked the strings, her bright eyes filled with pride and provocation. However, it had to be said that Zhen Huan's folk art was indeed comparable to Mei Zhuang's. The sound of the zither was gentle and beautiful, like the gurgling of water, clear and melodious like pearls falling on a plate, and full of emotion. The same song was played in a different style. The woman's soft and beautiful voice was touching.
After the song ended, everyone praised him. Who asked her to be Xuan Ling's favorite concubine? No matter how jealous or hateful he was, he still had to smile. Just look at those concubines who were smiling insincerely.
Xuan Ling clapped and laughed. Very good! My Guan Guan song is comparable to the sound of nature. Others are all tacky!”
When the concubines heard this, they almost tore their handkerchief under their seats, but they could no longer smile. Her face was stiff, and Mei Zhuang was still looking at Zhen Huan with a faint smile.
The Empress Dowager smiled faintly." Wan Guipin has indeed put in a lot of effort. She and Hui Jieyu have their own merits. Not bad."
The Empress smiled elegantly and said,"Wan Gui Pin is the Emperor's favorite. Such a song is truly extraordinary!" But ChenQie knows that there is a concubine who is even more talented than Wan Guipin!”
Everyone had different expressions, but Xuan Ling just smiled and did not say anything.
The Empress Dowager curiously said,"Aijia sees that the concubines in the harem are all better than the last. According to the Empress, isn't this person the best?"”
The Empress smiled faintly and said,"This is just ChenQie's opinion. Whether this is good or bad, the Empress Dowager will definitely make a decision after seeing this person's performance!"”
Xuan Ling pretended not to care.”
The Empress smiled faintly,"This person is An Wanyi!"”
I sat expressionlessly in my seat, but my heart skipped a beat. Indeed, those who came with ill intentions would not come with good intentions!
Zhen Huan raised her eyebrows and smiled." Who was I talking about? It's Sister An!" Sister An's talent was indeed excellent, but ordinary singing and dancing were too tacky. How could she show such a performance to everyone?”Despicable vixen! Humph!
Xuan Ling said calmly,"Whatever. It's just a performance."”Rong 'er's dance was peerless, what did these people know!
The Empress Dowager smiled faintly,"Then this widow wants to see what kind of performance An Wanyi can make!"”
I stood up and bowed respectfully." It's my honor to perform for the Empress Dowager! However, since they couldn't perform ordinary songs and dances, would it be possible for the concubines to prepare?”
The Empress Dowager looked at me in surprise and said lightly,"Yes."”In this world, who didn't suck up to her? This girl was interesting. Her personality was so cold, but she was also calm.
Consort Jing and Mei Zhuang looked at me worriedly, but they didn't dare to disobey the Empress Dowager. The other concubines looked at me gloatingly. Zhen Huan had already said that an ordinary song and dance performance would be tacky and would not be elegant at all! Don't you just want to see me make a fool of myself?
He whispered to the palace maid. Everything was ready.
At this time, in front of everyone, the servants carried four tall white silk screens. The Empress Dowager smiled and said," What is this? Isn't it about dancing? Are you going to paint in public?"
I wore a simple white gauze dress and a white jade plum blossom hairpin on my head. I didn't wear any makeup. Yingying bowed and entered the white screen.
The four maids stood at the four corners of the screen and danced. Inside the screen, everyone could only see a slim and graceful shadow.
The entire hall was silent. Everyone was curious about how I would dance in a unique style.
A light zither sound came.
I raised my sleeves and threw them into the air. I leisurely danced with a rhythm. My slender fingers pinched the front of my clothes and slowly swung them like a crescent moon. My slender waist returned to normal. With a flap of my wings, the white silk fluttered like snowflakes. A gust of wind blew, and countless chrysanthemum petals fluttered past my temples and landed on my sleeves. As the flowers flew in the sky, my waist was as soft as a willow, like a white crane drinking water. The wind suddenly blew, my dress fluttered, and my beautiful hair fluttered freely. I bent down lightly like a bow, and with a slender turn, the silk naturally danced and scattered across the sky. I leaped into the air with the wind, my broken sleeves like a hundred flowers blooming, and my jade feet landed lightly. When he bent his feet, his feet spun faster and faster, and his skirt was as bright as a flower, and his clothes were as beautiful as water. The wind blew, blowing all kinds of flowers and brocade. They were lively and fragrant, swaying gently.
No one could see my face. They could only see my slender shadow. It was as if the brilliant clouds in the sky had been cut into pieces and fell to the human world, photocopied on the screen.
At this moment, Noble Qi suddenly jumped up and widened his round eyes.”
Everyone looked over and saw an ink dot suddenly appear on the snow-white screen in front of them. Then, a flower bloomed. Accompanied by a soft music, the small flowers danced out of the sleeves and were unstoppable. The most amazing thing was that as I rotated my wrist, the flower bud that was originally drawn seemed to have woken up from a deep sleep. It bloomed bit by bit, just like a spring morning, and all things were revived.
Light, light, light, with my graceful dance, big flowers, small flowers, single petals, compound petals, all kinds of flowers bloomed on the snow-white screen. In the flowers, the figure behind the screen was still dancing. The flowers on the screen grew hotter, thicker, more passionate, and more exuberant.
The dance is fast, the dance is fast, the dance is beautiful, the dance is charming.
The melody gradually stopped, and I swung my sleeves down for the last time. I raised my jade-like finger to the screen, like an orchid blooming. A cinnabar hung high in the east of this painting. The morning glow rises.
Everyone was mesmerized by this beautiful dance and peerless painting.
The Empress Dowager stared at him intently. In the end, she suddenly laughed. She nodded gently and said," This child is indeed very smart.”
After the dance, I calmly left the screen, and my white sleeves were already black. He bowed slowly and lowered his head without saying a word.
The Empress Dowager smiled amiably and said," It's good that you have such thoughts. No wonder the Empress praises you like this!"”
I coldly said,"A small trick to make the Empress Dowager smile!" I hope that the Great Zhou Dynasty will be peaceful, the Empress Dowager will always smile, the Emperor will be blessed, and the Empress will be the mother of the world. The people are safe and happy!" He kowtowed deeply.
The Empress Dowager laughed happily. Good! An Wanyi was indeed a wonderful person! What kind of dance is this?"
Everyone's eyes were so focused on me that they wanted to see through me. I said lightly," Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this is an ink wash dance. It's difficult for me to reach the elegant hall with my clumsy plan, so I can only find another way!"”
The Empress quickly covered up her loss of composure and smiled lightly." Empress Dowager, look, An Wanyi is indeed a talented woman! Even Wanfei couldn't compare to this dance and this exquisite mind!”
Xuan Ling looked deeply at this woman. She always surprised him, but he couldn't express anything at this time.
Zhen Huan glared at me angrily, almost unable to say a word, but she was thinking in her heart that she could not keep An Lingrong. Consort Jing and Mei Zhuang gave me an admiring smile without saying a word. The other concubines stared at me with sour eyes and whispered to each other.
Xuan Ling said lightly," There's nothing special. The Empress's words have made Zhen think highly of her. Since the Empress Dowager likes it, then you can dance for the Empress Dowager in the future!"”If the Empress Dowager can protect her, I will be more at ease.
People like Noble Fu started to laugh at me. Without the Saint's Heart, it was useless no matter how good it was. Zhen Huan looked at Xuan Ling affectionately while Mei Zhuang looked at me worriedly with her pale face. Consort Jing looked at me worriedly, indicating that I should not say anything wrong.
I felt a sense of ridicule in my heart and replied coldly,"Yes."”He had a submissive attitude, or rather, he didn't care at all.
The Empress Dowager looked at this scene with great interest. It seemed that Zhen Huan was more favored than she thought. An Wanyi seemed to be able to endure it. The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction." This widow feels very good. Since the Emperor has such filial piety, then An Wanyi will come to Yongshou Palace to accompany this widow!”She waved her hand and gestured for Bamboo Breath to bring a tray over to me.
I bowed respectfully and said,"It's my blessing." I am willing."
When I returned to my seat, many of the concubines were already staring at me with venomous expressions. Accompanying the Empress Dowager was a beautiful task. Now, even her heart would feel uncomfortable, right? And I sat there unconcernedly. The Empress Dowager smiled in satisfaction.
Xuan Ling smiled faintly. Rong 'er did not disappoint him. The Empress and the Empress Dowager sized up Xuan Ling without batting an eyelid. However, Xuan Ling only smiled at Zhen Huan from the beginning to the end. The Empress Dowager's heart sank without saying a word. The smile on the Empress 'face was almost gone.
After the banquet ended, every concubine who performed received a reward. The only difference was that I was personally rewarded by the Empress Dowager and even qualified to accompany her. Ever since Mei Zhuang decided to fight for favor, she rarely went to the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace. As for why the Empress Dowager wanted me to accompany her, this was intriguing.
At night. Misty Pavilion.
I sat on the pear blossom wooden table and sipped tea. I lightly said,"The Empress Dowager said that I would accompany her to the Everlasting Palace in the future. What do you think?"”
Xu Wanhai bowed and probed,"Perhaps the Empress Dowager admires Little Master?"”
Qiao Hui smiled." The Empress Dowager has never cared about the affairs of the world, but once something happens, it must be something that the Empress Dowager can't bear to see.”
Baojuan pondered,"It's just that what the emperor said today is too chilling."”
I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"It's a blessing or a curse. If it's a curse, you can't avoid it."”
Xu Wanhai pondered,"This servant thought it was because the Empress Dowager couldn't stand the Emperor's pampering of Wan Guipin."”
I didn't mind and said,"According to what you said, the Empress Dowager should let Wan Guipin accompany her. Why did she choose me?"”
Qiao Hui said angrily,"Isn't it the emperor who said it!" I really don't know what's so good about Wan Guipin! The emperor dotes on her so much!"
Baojuan smiled,"This servant thinks that this is a good thing. After all, even the Empress will not be seen unless she is summoned!"”
I raised my eyebrows in disdain. If the Empress Dowager was not satisfied, then it would become a bad thing! Empress? Didn't you see the Empress 'expression at the end of the banquet? That was a warning!"
Bao Juan clicked her tongue and said,"Little Lord, this servant thought that the Empress was definitely not someone easy to get along with. Isn't this Little Lord taking too much of a risk?"”
I didn't care and said,"Nothing ventured, nothing gained?" Moreover, I clearly know that the Empress is not an easy person to get along with, and I have already done so much. If I don't get anything in return, then it's not worth it!”
Xu Wanhai sighed." This servant believes that Little Master is a person with ideas. May everything be safe."”
Ping An? A storm was probably coming, right?
The next day. Yongshou Palace. The Empress Dowager leaned against the soft couch and dozed off. The room was quiet and peaceful, and a warm fragrance assailed his nostrils.
I bowed respectfully and lowered my head without saying a word.
About an hour later, the Empress Dowager slowly woke up and asked Zhu Xi," What time is it?”
Bamboo Breath smiled and said,"It's time to return to the Empress Dowager."”
The Empress Dowager turned around and seemed to see me. She was surprised. Why aren't you saying anything?"
I respectfully said,"Empress Dowager, have a good sleep. Concubines and concubines will wait for you."”
The Empress Dowager smiled lightly." You're indeed a polite person. Forget it, get up!"”
I stood up and said respectfully,"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"”
The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction,"En, this widow is not feeling well today. You copy the Buddhist scriptures for this widow!"”
I respectfully replied,"Yes." It's my honor!"
The Empress Dowager's temple hall is at the back of the main hall. The Empress Dowager stood up and held Zhu Xi's hand as she walked backwards. I quickly followed. When we reached the temple hall, the Empress Dowager began to recite Buddhist scriptures. Zhu Xi signaled to me and I walked to the side of the red Fushou table. On the table, there were already three thick books of scriptures and ink, paper, and inkstone laid out by the palace maid.
"Please copy these three scriptures before you go back.”The little palace maid softly conveyed the Empress Dowager's orders.
For a full six hours, I faced the yellowed scripture and copied word by word. The words on the Buddhist scriptures were very small, and many of the words had complicated structures. If it was anyone else, their backs would have ached and they would have been unable to hold on. However, I stood there copying the scriptures. I didn't say that I was tired, nor did I ask for a stool. I just stood there silently and seriously copied with my hands down.
The Empress Dowager glanced at me and smiled approvingly. The prayer beads in his hands kept spinning as he prayed sincerely.
Another four hours passed, and I had already missed the time for lunch and dinner. The Empress Dowager had already eaten some snacks, but my stomach was rumbling with hunger. However, the little palace maid beside me looked at me, but her hands didn't even tremble. She couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder.
Zhu Xi reminded her,"Empress Dowager, you should rest."”
The Empress Dowager stood up and slowly walked out. When she reached the door, she looked back and found that I didn't even raise my head. I was seriously copying the Buddhist scriptures in my hands, as if I didn't notice her departure at all. The Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel surprised and impressed.
After an unknown period of time, he finally finished copying the Buddhist scriptures. He looked out of the window and saw that it was already the end of the night.
I looked at the little palace maid and lightly said,"I have already finished copying the scriptures. I wonder if the Empress Dowager has any other instructions?"”
The little palace maid said in admiration,"The Empress Dowager has decreed that Young Mistress An Wanyi can leave after copying the scriptures and placing them on the table."”
Hearing this, I sincerely offered the Buddhist scriptures to Buddha and kowtowed seriously before getting up to leave.
The little palace maid Lu Yi said in admiration," Granny Zhou, this An Wanyi is really calm. She finished copying the three scriptures just like that! And you didn't even frown!"
Granny Zhou sighed and smiled." The Empress Dowager is just testing An Wanyi's character. She is indeed a cultured person." After today's matter, perhaps the Empress Dowager would still promote her!”
The little palace maid's eyes widened as she watched me leave.
For the past few days, I have been dealing with the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Let alone fighting for favor, I haven't even seen the Emperor's shadow. Tian Tian was either copying Buddhist scriptures or chatting with her, but the Empress was always suppressing me and picking on me, but she didn't go too far. Who asked Zhen Huan to be the most favored person now, and Shen Mei Zhuang and the four daughters of meritorious officials were all making things difficult for the Empress?
If Zhen Huan was the most jealous and envious woman in the harem, then I could be considered one of them. Ever since I went to Yongshou Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, there was always a steady stream of rewards coming down. So many people have racked their brains to get the Empress Dowager's favor, but I, a little Wanyi, got it. So, there are many rumors.
On this day. Yongshou Palace.
The Empress Dowager sat on the soft couch. The Empress smiled sweetly and wholeheartedly to please the Empress Dowager. She would tease her from time to time, but the Empress Dowager's face was always smiling faintly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be harmonious, but they actually had their own thoughts.
The Empress Dowager picked up the tea that Lu Yi had served and took a sip. She was stunned and surprised.”
After the Empress heard this, she also picked up the cup of tea in front of her and took a sip. She praised," Yes, this soup is good in color and taste. It's really an excellent top grade!”As she spoke, she looked at Lu Yi and smiled,"Empress Dowager, you're a good person and you have good things!" ChenQie has never drunk such fragrant tea before!”
This tea-brewing skill is regarded as an extremely elegant activity in this dynasty. Not to mention the wealthy families in the palace, it was also very popular in the marketplace. The Empress Dowager loved tea, and ordinary tea arts were not her cup of tea at all. Now that she was praising it like this, it must be very good.
This time, Zhu Xi and the other grannies were also greedy and brought tea to eat. Almost everyone praised.
The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction." Although Lu Yi is young, her tea brewing skills have improved by leaps and bounds. She deserves a reward."”
Lu Yi hurriedly bowed and said in surprise,"Replying to the Empress Dowager, this tea wasn't cooked by this servant!" It's Young Master An Wanyi!"
Everyone in the room was stunned. The Empress's expression could not help but become complicated. The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile. Was it An Wanyi? Let her in!"
I calmly walked into the inner room and respectfully saluted,"Greetings to the Empress Dowager, Greetings to the Empress!"”
The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with the tea. Her smile was much warmer than before." The tea you make is different. Who did you learn from?"”
I respectfully bowed and replied,"Replying to the Empress Dowager, I had nothing to do and thought about it myself." It was just that his skills were shallow and difficult to reach the elegant hall.”
The Empress's expression instantly became very ugly. She frowned and said with a smile,"An Wanyi's craftsmanship is very good. BenGong and Empress Dowager are full of praise!"”
The empress dowager smiled in satisfaction.
I respectfully said,"Empress Dowager, may I borrow your teacup?"”
The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded. I then calmly walked forward and gently picked up the teacup beside the Empress Dowager. I gently shook it and then opened the teacup. The Empress Dowager took a look and saw that in the tea that she had just drunk, a peony flower had blossomed. The steam was rising, giving off a dreamy feeling.
When the Empress Dowager saw this skill, she praised," It can actually create flowers and plants. It's really good skill!”
The Empress suddenly stood up and walked over to confirm the peony flower with her own eyes. Her voice immediately became hoarse.
I respectfully said,"I'm a concubine with a small skill. I'm willing to make the Empress Dowager smile!"”
The empress dowager smiled with satisfaction and said gently,"Not bad, not bad. You must come here often in the future. This widow likes your tea very much!"”
I obediently said,"It's my blessing!" It is my honor to serve the Empress Dowager with all my heart!”I can guarantee that once the Empress Dowager drinks my tea, she will definitely not take a fancy to other people's tea. Thinking back to my previous life, my mother loved tea, and I also liked to taste tea. I even specially studied it. He had been pondering over this for nearly ten years. As for the illusory water grass, he had only used some methods.
The Empress smiled gracefully and said," Empress Dowager, look. An Wanyi is really lovely. She can sing, dance, and make tea!”She knew how to do everything, knew how to advance and retreat, was filial, knew how to coax people, and was also beautiful. Although the emperor did not like her, the empress dowager admired her very much. If she was too ambitious, the empress's eyes would unconsciously turn cold and she would remain silent.
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and said lightly,"This widow still has to pay respects to Buddha. Empress, please go back."”Although this empress had the ability, she was holding the belly of the harem concubines. Sigh, what a sin!
The Empress 'smile was stifled as she replied,"Yes, ChenQie will withdraw."”
I tactfully bowed and planned to leave, but the Empress Dowager said,"An Wanyi, stay and accompany this widow!"”This child was not bad. Although he was cold, he was polite and filial.
I obediently moved back. The Empress only stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at me with a faint smile.
It was night. Misty Pavilion.
I lay on the soft couch, Baojuan massaged my shoulders and Qiaohui massaged my legs.
Xiao Shunzi laughed,"Little Master is now acting like a master!" Which concubine in the harem doesn't want this servant to massage her legs and shoulders like this? But little master doesn't like these!”
I closed my eyes and said indifferently,"My legs are weak from this day until night!"”
Xu Wanhai personally held a bowl of medicine and respectfully said,"Young Master, quickly drink the medicine!"”
I straightened my body, picked up the bowl of medicine, blew on it gently, and drank it in one gulp. He said lightly,"Now, the Empress is probably even more afraid of me. Tomorrow's greeting is probably..."
Little Shunzi laughed,"Little Master once said that only by enduring the most bitter of hardships can one rise above others!" I have my own ideas."
My eyes flashed with brilliance as I said coldly,"The fish will soon be caught!"”
