"Empress Dowager, let's see what Wan Wan presents before rewarding Wan Wan. Otherwise, won't someone be unfair?”Mu Wanwan smiled sweetly.
The Empress Dowager laughed when she heard this." Yes, yes, yes. I almost forgot that you like to play with strange things." Come, let aijia see what it is.”
Hearing the empress dowager's question, Mu Wanwan smiled and opened the box. Inside the box was a red gem: "Empress Dowager, Wan Wan bought this from a Persian merchant a few days ago. This stone was completely red and shone under the sun. It was extremely beautiful. The Empress Dowager didn't like jade jewelry. If she made it with this stone, it would definitely look good!”
The Empress Dowager nodded.""Not bad, Wanwan, you're so thoughtful. This widow can reward you now, right?”
"It's all thanks to the Empress Dowager's reward." Mu Wanwan smiled brightly. One look and one could tell that she was a spoiled young lady. People's lives were really different.
Situ Yaorao looked at the woman who was the center of attention and thought about her predecessor. He could not help but click his tongue. Fortunately, the concubines of Situ Manor did not have a high status. Fortunately, her mother's family had a high status. Otherwise, he would probably be a missy with no sense of existence now, right?
Or perhaps…it was because she was afraid of being forgotten that the owner of this body was willing to be used by her own sister. She wanted the people in the capital to not be able to ignore her.
Perhaps this was a disguised form of resistance?
With the Empress Dowager favoring the Prime Minister's youngest daughter, the daughters of many ministers were naturally dissatisfied. However, the Empress Dowager was the eldest, so no one dared to say anything. Thus, they could only offer their gifts. The Empress Dowager did not smile at anyone else when she presented the gifts. Just as the empress dowager was getting impatient, it was Situ Yaorao's turn.
Situ Yaorao cursed in her heart. But fortunately, that rather reliable cheap mother knew that the empress dowager liked peonies, so she asked her family to transport a large purple peony from outside. The flower bloomed beautifully, making her, who was used to seeing it, unable to help but feel moved. She believed that the Empress Dowager would definitely like it.
Situ Yaorao stepped forward and said,"Empress Dowager, this subject's daughter Situ Yaorao, this is this subject's daughter's gift to the Empress Dowager.”As she spoke, Situ Yaorao took off the red cloth from the flower pot. Then, the empress dowager's face instantly darkened. Everyone present was silent.
The entire scene was terrifyingly quiet.
Situ Yaorao blinked her eyes in confusion. Just as she was about to see if something had happened to the peony, she heard General Situ angrily rebuke,"Unfilial daughter! He actually dared to be so rebellious and give a withered grass to the Empress Dowager? Kneel down and apologize!" After saying that, General Situ rushed over and knelt in front of the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager.""Emperor, empress niangniang, empress dowager, please judge. This official will kill this unfilial daughter to apologize to the empress dowager.”
After saying that, General Situ actually took out a saber from a guard.
When Situ Yaorao saw this, her gaze was terrifyingly cold.
Her two lifetimes added together, she did not live very long. However, he was used to seeing all kinds of things in the world. Those strange old men wanted her to practice every day, saying that she was a genius.
There were always martial artists who wanted to compete with her, and everyone's expression was so fanatical. She liked that feeling, that feeling of mutual understanding. And now, this person, this person who was called her father, was also going to compete with her? Unfortunately, there was only killing intent and disgust in his eyes.
Situ Yaorao didn't even know why this person hated her so much.
However, he would not give her the chance to ask. Situ Yaorao sneered. At this moment, General Situ drew his saber. He slashed at Situ Yaorao.
"Men! Quickly stop General Situ!" The Emperor immediately ordered.
However, it was too late. Situ Yaorao grabbed the blade expressionlessly. Blood flowed down her hand. Looking at General Situ, Situ Yaorao's tone was cold and calm."Father, my life and death are decided by the emperor. Father, please don't be rash. If he really wanted to kill his daughter, why not bury her alive when she was born?”
The woman's eyes were cold, like the moon in the sky, unattainable. However, her eyes were filled with disappointment. He was disappointed in his father, General Situ.
Tantai Wuyue, who was originally prepared to attack, fell silent when she saw her reaction. Perhaps, she would have a better idea herself?
If not…it wouldn't be too late for him to help.
"You unfilial daughter, if I had known that you dared to bring this withered grass here today, I would have buried you alive back then!”General Situ said angrily.
"What's wrong with withered grass?" Situ Yaorao laughed again.”
"You still dare to say it?" General Situ was furious.
"Let her continue. This widow wants to see why she sent this withered grass.”The empress dowager's voice sounded, neither salty nor light. Hearing this, General Situ withdrew his saber. He didn't care even if Situ Yaorao's hand was bleeding. Situ Yaorao felt that the last trace of hope she had for this body had disappeared.
This man was not worthy of being her father. While thinking, Situ Yaorao knelt on the ground, took the pot of withered grass, and said slowly,""Empress Dowager, do you know the characteristics of this grass?”
"Special characteristics?" The Empress Dowager was puzzled.
"Yes, characteristics." Situ Yaorao nodded. The Empress Dowager shook her head." I don't know. Tell me slowly."”
"Grass grows with the spring breeze and withers with the winter." Situ Yaorao smiled. However, although he was defeated, he did not stop. No matter if it was burned or stepped on, it would still be green in the spring of the next year. As the saying went, the grass on the plains withered and flourished once a year. The wildfire could not burn it, but the spring wind blew and it grew again. This subject's daughter thought, if a person's life could be like this, wouldn't it be eternal? Empress Dowager, you are beautiful and kind. If it could last forever, it would be the fortune of Lanlin and the world. That's why I risked my life to offer this withered grass. He believed that it would not take long for it to grow green leaves again.”
Situ Yaorao's voice was not loud, but because everyone was watching her and listening to her carefully, almost everyone heard her clearly.
It was also at this moment that everyone realized that this so-called idiot young miss was not really an idiot. It was not easy to come up with such a reason in such a short period of time.
Which one of them here didn't struggle through schemes and plots? It was obvious that it had suddenly become a gift of withered grass. Someone had framed him!
At that moment, some people were gloating, while others were regretting. There were also people who were indifferent. However, in the end, everyone could not help but look at the famous Miss Situ.
Situ Yaorao was extremely good-looking. If it weren't for her actions and her family background, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Now, the woman was quiet and looked particularly eye-catching.
After a long silence, the Empress Dowager clapped her hands and beamed."Good, good grass on the plains. Aijia likes it. Someone, place this grass in this widow's bedroom.”
"Yes." The palace servants received the order and quickly put away the withered grass.
"Girl, this widow likes you when she looks at you. Do you want to come to the palace to accompany this widow?" The empress dowager looked at Situ Yaorao with a smile. When Situ Yaorao heard this, she respectfully said," Empress Dowager, this subject is a vulgar girl. I'm afraid that if I serve the Empress Dowager, it will make the Empress Dowager unhappy. So, please grant this subject's wish. Let this subject be a well-educated girl in your heart."”
Situ Yaorao's words made the empress dowager laugh again."Good, good, this widow won't force you. Go and bandage your hand.”After saying that, he looked at General Situ." Great General, you're really something. It's been so many years, but your temper is still so irritable." If anything happens to your daughter, don't say that your in-laws won't forgive you, this widow will hold you responsible.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 01PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
