"I was afraid that you would be lonely, so I came to accompany you.”Xuan Li put the book aside and pretended to complain.
"Flower thief." I said listlessly with my hand supporting my chin.
"What?" Xuan Li simply jumped in through the window. I exclaimed," Not only did you pick my viburnos, but what else do you want? Aren't you a rapist?"”I immediately stood up and kept my distance from him.
"Haha, then let's give it a try." After saying that, he leaned his head over. I pushed him away with a slap." Alright, stop fooling around. Since you're so resourceful, bring me out."”I said willfully like a child, forgetting my own identity.
"What's wrong with you? Wasn't it enough last time? Ninth sister-in-law has gone crazy because of you." Xuan Li lowered her head and said to me with her hands behind her back.
"I know." I lowered my head. Even though I already knew the outcome, I still couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Ancestor is protecting you and Ninth Brother. Before Father's decision is made clear, Ancestor wants you to avoid any conflict, so you just have to stay here, do you hear me?”Xuan Li suddenly said to me seriously.
I suddenly realized that I was too sad. "Perhaps I can take the opportunity to ask the ancestor for a marriage. " Xuan Li has returned to her previous unruly self, and I'm happy." Then aren't you afraid that you'll become the target of public criticism?”I smiled and placed my hands on his face.
Xuan Li suddenly laughed out loud." Hehe, you naughty girl. I'm really scared."”As he spoke, he put my hand down." Alright, I sneaked in. If someone finds out, they might say that I'm a slut in the harem. I'm a womanizer. It's not good to hurt your reputation.”Xuan Li walked out.
Only then did I realize that I was now in the palace. Xuan Li's words made me feel much better. She no longer looked at it and fell asleep. She was really too tired after coming in.
"Ge Ge, Ge Ge." A palace maid in her thirties opened the door when she heard a faint knock on the door.
"Aunt." I know that this is the Empress Dowager's servant girl, so I naturally don't dare to neglect her.
"The old ancestor called you over, saying that the empress is here.”I followed Cao GuGu out.
A few women in the Great Buddha Hall have already sat respectfully at the side. I followed Cao Gugu in and kowtowed one by one.
"Ancestor Jin An." I raised my head and was about to turn around and kowtow to the Empress. The Empress Dowager suddenly spoke," This is the Empress. Beside her are Consort Jing and Yue Ronghua.”I kowtowed one by one, but my hands were held up by someone. I looked up and saw a noble lady in her fifties. She was dressed in a white peony palace dress. She looked fresh but not her identity. The phoenix crown on her head told me her identity.”I lowered my head and got up.
"Come, girl, come to this widow.”I slowly walked to the Empress Dowager's side. Only then could I clearly size up the three people in front of me. Other than the Empress, Consort Jing and Rong Hua were both dressed in pink palace robes. Consort Jing was quiet and dignified, and there was a kind of nobility in her bones. Rong Hua was very young, about thirty years old, but the shrewdness in her eyes could not be concealed. They were all respectful, and the Empress Dowager only exchanged a few words with them before sending them away.
The room became quiet again. The sandalwood fragrance from the incense burner brought with it a tranquil aura that calmed people down. Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter. Just as I was about to look up, I heard a man's mischievous voice." Ancestor, Ye 'er is here to see you.”A man wearing a silver court robe embroidered with a five-horned dragon was escorted in by a few palace maids.
"Greetings, great grandson." The man knelt down and kowtowed three times.
The empress dowager had a kind expression on her face. The kind of kinship that was close to that of ordinary people could only be seen in this palace at this moment.
"Child, come here, let this widow take a good look at you.”Ling Ye stood up and walked in front of the Empress Dowager with a smile on his face. The Empress Dowager gently stroked his face. I watched quietly as if I was admiring a beautiful scene. My heart was deeply touched.
"Today this widow will leave a meal for you, so don't go to your mother's place.”The mother that the Empress Dowager was referring to was not the biological mother of the eldest grandson. Ten years ago, the Crown Prince had passed away, and the Crown Prince's good wife, who was also the biological mother of the eldest grandson, had also fallen ill and passed away. Therefore, not only did the emperor dote on this grandson, but this great-grandmother also doted on this great-great-grandson very much.
Cao GuGu had already ordered the servant girls to set up the bowls and chopsticks. I just stood at the side. I didn't have to do these things.
"Come, Qin Hua, come and sit.”The Empress Dowager looked at me. At this moment, Ling Ye noticed me and smiled at me." Oh, it's Sister Qin Hua." Come over." I walked over resentfully and participated in this strange banquet.
I was extremely uncomfortable during the meal. Ling Ye kept staring at me, causing goosebumps to rise all over my body. The Empress Dowager beside me only pretended to be old and blind. After dinner, the Empress Dowager sat on the couch to rest while Ming Wei and Ming Lan massaged her back and legs. Just as I was about to go over, the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes." Go and send Ling Ye off and give him the things."”At this moment, Cao GuGu had already placed a brocade box in my hand, indicating for me to leave.
I took the things and hurriedly ran out. Ling Ye had already left for a while. I looked at the huge Cining Palace and the long veranda. I had no choice but to run out.
It was not easy to see Ling Ye's back under the cover of a group of palace maids. There was also the misty palace lantern shining on the road." Your Highness Zhangsun, please wait."”I almost screamed myself hoarse.
The long line in front finally stopped. I quickly ran over, but I fell heavily. My knees were sore. I sat on the ground and held back my tears. At this moment, a figure blocked all my vision. I felt a pair of big hands reaching out. I looked up and saw Ling Ye looking at me sincerely. I used my hands to support myself." The ancestor ordered me to give this to you."”I turned around and left, my knees still aching.
"Thank you, Sister Qin Hua." When I heard this, the corners of my mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.
