Old ladies should prefer obedient granddaughters-in-law, right? Moreover, from the last birthday banquet, it seemed that the Empress Dowager liked him very much.
Thus, when Chang Guo 'er arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedchamber, Xin Hua Palace, she looked at the Empress Dowager who was dressed in gold and silver. She put away her usual mischievous expression and put on an obedient girl's appearance. She respectfully greeted,""Han 'er pays his respects to Imperial Grandmother."
Her mischievous voice was as cute and obedient as possible, and her facial expressions were also very accurate. This way, the Empress Dowager would not say anything else, right?
"Han 'er! You're finally here. If Royal Grandmother didn't invite you, you would never come to find an old woman like me!”When the Empress Dowager saw Chang Guo 'er's figure, an excited expression appeared on her face. However, it was fleeting, as if she had never shown that expression before. Then, he put on a stern face and pretended to be serious.
"Royal Grandma, you can't blame me for this! Who asked you not to save me back then? Do you know how much I suffered in King Jingxuan's mansion? Moreover, I miss Imperial Grandmother very much! Every day, day and night! Every second! You're still fierce to me." Chang Guo 'er knew that the Empress Dowager liked her, so she spoke boldly.
After the empress dowager sized up Chang Guo 'er's weak body, a look of surprise flashed across her face. She could no longer keep up her stern expression and stuffed a banana into Chang Guo' er's hands. Then, she said,"It's Royal Grandmother's fault. Royal Grandmother will never be fierce to you again."”
Thus, the servant maids and eunuchs who had thought that the empress dowager would fly into a rage all opened their mouths wide. They looked in surprise at this very bold Dong Wangfei. They didn't know what kind of magic she had used to make the empress dowager so obedient.
"Thank you, Royal Grandmother!"
The mischievous voice immediately made the Empress Dowager, who was used to the coquettish voices of the concubines, feel more comfortable. The smile on her face just now seemed to deepen.
Chang Guo 'er was eating the banana the Empress Dowager had given her. She rolled her eyes and said,""Royal Grandmother, you're so good to me! In return, I'll tell you a story!”
"Alright!" When the Empress Dowager heard that Chang Guo 'er was going to tell her a story, she became interested and happily said to Chang Guo' er,""Royal Grandmother wants to hear a happy story? If you say it badly, you will be punished!”
"What if it's good?" Chang Guo 'er continued when she heard that she would be punished. Usually, punishment and reward corresponded. How could she not know what the empress dowager meant?
"Well said, there's a prize." The Empress Dowager said happily.
"Royal Grandmother, the story I tell will definitely be very good. Just wait to reward me!”Chang Guo 'er said. How could her story be bad? In the time-travel novels she had read before, Journey to the West was very popular among the ancient people. Today, she was going to talk about Journey to the West. She was going to get the title of Storyteller Princess today.
" That pig-headed monster was Marshal Tian Peng, who Sun Wukong met when he was herding in the Heavenly River when he was still in the Heavenly Palace. He was accused of teasing Fairy Chang'e and was banished to the human world. He could only enter the path of cultivation and become a pig-headed monster. In Gao Lao Zhuang…"
When Chang Guo 'er mentioned Zhu Bajie getting married, the Empress Dowager, the wet nurses, the palace maids, and the eunuchs no longer cared about the rules. They all stretched their ears and widened their eyes, afraid that they would miss a word.
Chang Guo 'er felt a little thirsty, so she took a sip of the ginseng tea, deliberately whetting the empress dowager's appetite. When she saw that everyone in the room, including the nannies, palace maids, and eunuchs, was looking at her eagerly, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Look, look, do you know the Thousand and One Nights? How did the Empress manage to keep her life? It was just relying on stories with no ending every day to keep the emperor in suspense! Now, she, Chang Guo 'er, relied on storytelling to keep the Empress Dowager's heart. After Journey to the West, there was still Dream of the Red Chamber, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margins, and then the Return of the Condor Heroes, Eight Dragons, and The Deer and Cauldron…With so many stories, she was not afraid that she would not be able to get close to the Empress Dowager.
"Bajie, why is this name so strange?”The Empress Dowager and Nanny Liu looked at each other, guessing which remote place this strange name came from.
"Han 'er, what happened next? Quickly tell Royal Grandmother! Don't keep Royal Grandmother in suspense." The Empress Dowager couldn't help but speak when she saw Chang Guo 'er keeping her in suspense. The others also revealed nervous expressions, eagerly anticipating the next story. No one noticed that the Crown Princess, Liang Ruxue, had slowly walked in at this moment.
"Royal grandmother, don't worry, I'll tell you now.”Chang Guo 'er said mischievously. She was happy to see the Empress Dowager and everyone's anxious expressions. As a modern person, she had a good life in ancient times. A single Journey to the West had bribed so many people.
"Royal Grandmother."
Liang Ruxue called out softly, but the empress dowager had long been sucked into Journey to the West. Her mind was filled with the scenes that Chang Guo 'er had described, so she couldn't hear what she was saying.
"Han 'er, quickly tell me, what happened to that Zhu Bajie after that? Could it be that he was killed by Sun Wukong?”
The Empress Dowager looked at Chang Guo 'er with more and more fondness. This granddaughter-in-law was really cute. She kept calling Chang Guo' er " Imperial Grandmother ", which made her heart burst with joy. Coupled with her mischievous little face, sweet smile, and her little mouth that could tell fresh stories, it was difficult for Chang Guo 'er not to like her!
Of course, Liang Ruxue was in stark contrast. In the past, she was the Empress Dowager's favorite granddaughter-in-law. Now, her position was actually taken away by Chang Guo 'er, who was not favored by Sima Han. It was really hard to understand!
"Royal Grandmother."
Seeing that the empress dowager was ignoring her, Liang Ruxue called out again, unwilling to give up. Only then did she manage to divert the old lady's attention." Journey to the West."”His body moved away. Of course, it only moved away for a moment."Ruxue! When did you come? Quick, quick…Come sit down and listen to Han 'er's story.”
After saying that, the empress dowager turned around and urged Chang Guo 'er to continue. Liang Ruxue was so angry that she glared at her, but she didn't dare to say anything. Did this Eastern Consort have a spell? The Empress Dowager had only seen her once at that birthday banquet, and she had actually made the Empress Dowager submit to her?
At the thought of this, a ruthless look flashed across Liang Ruxue's gentle eyes.
Just like that, Chang Guo 'er stayed in Xin Hua Palace for an entire day as a storyteller. If Xuanyuan Jingxuan hadn't sent guards to urge her several times at night, the Empress Dowager would have forced her to spend the night there!
It seemed that Journey to the West was still very popular.
Prince Xuan's Mansion, East Court
"You and Royal Grandmother have been very close recently?”
This was the first thing Xuanyuan Jingxuan said when he saw Chang Guo 'er.
He had rushed to her eastern courtyard immediately after the morning court session. He had wanted to see if she had woken up. She must have had a headache today after drinking so much yesterday!
Unexpectedly, there was no one in the east courtyard. She asked the guards and found out that the Imperial Grandmother had called her into the palace.
He knew that Royal Grandmother liked her, so he did not have to worry about whether she would be bullied in the palace. It just so happened that he had to go and deal with that Che matter.
When she reached the study, the hidden guards found everyone in Jing Hai with the word Che. None of them belonged to her East Princess Consort.
What was going on? Who exactly was that Che? Only the East Princess Consort who asked him would know.
Thinking of this, he went to the east courtyard to wait for his princess to return.
Who knew that his East Princess Consort would be so energetic. After waiting for a whole day, she still did not return. He sent his guards to the palace to invite her back. He invited her three times before she returned.
She had a lot of face! She was getting bolder and bolder.
Chang Guo 'er saw Xuanyuan Jingxuan's dark and sour expression, and her originally cute face couldn't help but smile deeply," Hmph hmph, let's see how he dares to bully her in the future. From now on, she has the Empress Dowager's support.
It was almost time to leave! Chang Guo 'er thought to herself.
" You..." Xuanyuan Jingxuan saw that Chang Guo 'er was laughing so happily despite ignoring him. She was obviously mocking him, mocking his ignorance. This made his originally gloomy face darken even more.
