"Replying to the Empress Dowager, this orchid is indeed the best of the best, but it has a name. I wonder if the Empress Dowager knows?”Haoyue Yi carefully said as she looked at the empress dowager.
The empress dowager was shocked. She only knew that this orchid was top-grade, but she didn't know that it had a name. However, she wouldn't say that she didn't know. That would embarrass her in front of the younger generation, so she only said with a cold face,"Continue.
"This orchid is called the Night Dream Orchid. It is a very rare flower among orchids, but this flower has a habit of not being able to see the sun. It is a flower that only blooms at night. If it is exposed to the sun for a long time, it will probably completely wither and lose its life.”Haoyue Yi said slowly, each word clear and gentle.
Prince Sanhuai had never seen such a well-educated woman, so he was really shocked…
"Oh? There is no way to verify whether what you said is true or not. Maybe you are just trying to escape the crime, so why should this widow believe you?”The empress dowager didn't seem to be that easy to deal with, and she kept harping on Haoyue Yi's mistake.
Haoyue Yi slowly said," This is very simple. This pot of orchid looks very small and doesn't have any gorgeous colors. The real Night Dream Orchid isn't like this. It is a very dazzling flower, but it only blooms at night. If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe me, you can transplant it to another dark place and we will know.”
"See, mother, I told you Consort Xi had her own difficulties.”King Sanhuai smiled.
The empress dowager said with a straight face,"You child, why do you call this widow old? Is this widow very old?"”
"Mother, people will grow old, and so will we. Don't cover up for yourself. Think about it, the emperor is already twenty-four years old.”King Sanhuai smiled.
The expressions of the palace maids beside the empress dowager changed drastically. The empress dowager hated it when people called her old. Usually, she would secretly pluck out even a single strand of white hair when she served the empress dowager. But now, Prince Sanhuai was calling the empress dowager old in front of the empress dowager.
Haoyue Yi was also worried for Prince Sanhuai…
However, their worries were unnecessary. The Empress Dowager was not angry. She only sighed."Yi 'er, you're right. This widow might really be old. In the blink of an eye, your mother has already passed away for many years. This widow is really lonely.”
Shen Hongyi knew that his mother was the closest to the Empress Dowager when she was alive, so he comforted her,""Mother should be happy. Now, Mother's children are all under her knees. When the Emperor and Fifth Imperial Brother have a prince, you can hold a grandson and enjoy the blessing of Qi.”
Hearing this, the empress dowager was amused." You're always so good at talking. How is it?" Did your trip go well?"
Shen Hongyi nodded,"Yes, thanks to Mother, everything went smoothly.".”
"It's good that it went smoothly. When you have time, go to this widow's place and tell this widow about your adventures. This widow says that you are the most carefree among these children.”The empress dowager smiled.
"That's right, it's all because mother treats me well, that's why I can be so free.”Prince Huai chuckled. "You only have this mouth that can speak. Alright, this widow will go back first. Someone, carry the orchids away for this widow.”With that, the Empress Dowager left.
Haoyue Yi heaved a sigh of relief. If Prince Sanhuai had not appeared in time, she would have been in trouble. Once she was brought into the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, it would be difficult to get out.
"Third Prince, thank you for helping me out just now.”Haoyue Yi smiled.
"It's fine, I just happened to pass by. The Empress Dowager is actually a very good person, but she loves flowers as much as her life, so she lost her temper just now.”Shen Hongyi smiled.
"En, then…I'll be leaving first, thank you.”Haoyue Yi bowed and left.
After stumbling for a long time, she still couldn't find the Palace of Dawn. In the end, she had no choice but to ask the young eunuch to send her back.
Walking to the entrance of the Chenxi Palace, Haoyue Yi took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the young eunuch."Sorry to trouble you, Eunuch."
The young eunuch immediately took the silver and smiled.""Concubine Xi is too polite. If you need anything in the future, just instruct this servant.”
Haoyue Yi nodded and turned around to enter the Palace of Dawn. Wan 'er and Zhu' er, who were waiting at the door, saw Haoyue Yi return and quickly came up to him. They asked worriedly,""Master, why were you gone for so long?”
Haoyue Yi looked at the two little girls with a tired expression.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 25PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
