Chapter 805 The Awkward Old Lady
Early the next morning, after waking up, Liu Yusheng went to the inner hall to greet the Empress Dowager.
As soon as he got closer, he heard the sound of warblers and swallows coming from inside.
It was too late when she wanted to retreat, and a sharp-eyed person inside found her.
"It's Nanling Princess who is here, I'm waiting to see the princess."
Liu Yusheng had no choice but to walk into the hall, greeted the Queen Mother, and looked at a group of women sitting at the bottom.
Colorful and charming.
These are Xiao Feng'er's harem.
Tsk, at the age of fifteen, I have been sitting in the Sannomiya Sixth Courtyard since I was young.
Xiaofeng worked hard.
In the future, she has to refine some medicine for nourishing the kidney and strengthening the vital energy, and give it to Xiao Feng'er to take care of her body.
"Yesterday we heard that the princess came to the palace as a guest. We wanted to go to the Shuangyun Hall to pay a visit, but we didn't expect that the princess ended up staying in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Fortunately, we didn't make the trip in vain."
"The empress dowager loves me, I'm the one who bothered you." Liu Yusheng smiled.
She didn't know anyone here, and she didn't know who was who.
"I heard from the servants below that the princess is pregnant with the prince's heir. Congratulations to the princess."
"The lord and the concubine have a deep relationship, which makes us envious. The concubine is pregnant and recuperating in the palace. I'm afraid she will live for a long time. In our free time, we might gossip with the concubine over tea?"
"That's not true. The sisters have always admired the name of the princess, but they didn't have the opportunity to make friends. Now that they finally have the opportunity, the princess should not dislike our low status."
You talk to each other, Ji Feng hides, listening makes people's brains swell, Liu Yusheng continues to nod and smile, "Everyone praises you."
Seeing her blunt appearance, the empress dowager stretched out her sleeves, and lightly issued an order to evict the guests, "Since you have been invited, please leave, the Ai family is getting old, Xi Jing."
The empress dowager spoke in person, and all the concubines didn't want to leave, and they didn't dare to stay longer.
Back off one by one.
Liu Yusheng didn't relax until all the people had left, and rubbed her sore waist. Facing a group of warblers and swallows was more tiring than facing a tiger, and she needed to be prepared.
She straightened her back and stiffened.
"You go down too." The Empress Dowager gave another order to evict the guests.
"I was alone in the side hall when I went back, and it was very deserted. The Empress Dowager asked me to come here last night, didn't she tell me to talk to the Empress Dowager by the way? I'll stay here with you."
"Sorrow the family and pay homage to the Buddha, and I don't like to chat." The empress dowager frowned, what she said last night was just an excuse, the princess of Nanling is smart, it is impossible not to hear it.
What do you want to do to block her with these words now?
"It just so happens that my concubine likes to concoct medicinal materials and refine pills on weekdays. When the Empress Dowager worships the Buddha, I can refine medicine by the side, and I won't disturb the Empress Dowager." Liu Yusheng turned to the old mother with a smile, "I don't know if the mother can help I'll find a tripod medicine furnace, and bring some herbs along the way?"
Last night, the empress dowager and the old nanny both said that they could ask for anything they needed. Now that she has mentioned it, they will not refuse it.
That's slapping yourself in the face.
Besides, she didn't want anything expensive.
Chen Xiang and Zi Su looked at each other, lowered their eyebrows and closed their eyes. They couldn't figure out what the princess wanted to do, so they had to wait and listen to the orders.
On the other hand, the old nanny showed embarrassment, looked at the empress dowager, and waited for her to show her.
After a moment of silence, the empress dowager said, "Find what the princess wants."
"Yes, the old slave will go to prepare now, the princess will be later."
After giving the order, the empress dowager ignored Liu Yusheng, took out the scroll from the cabinet next to the couch, and read it, treating the rest of the people as air.
Liu Yusheng was really quiet, didn't say a word, didn't even make any noise, propped his cheeks, and looked at the old woman reading a book.
Dignified and calm, every move naturally reveals the majesty of the empress.
She had little contact with the empress dowager in the past, so she couldn't see her true temperament.
But judging from the few contacts she had, she always felt that the empress dowager was not as cold and hard as she looked.
"When do you want to see it?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyes from the scroll, her eyes were faint.
After being caught, Liu Yusheng looked natural, "Did the concubine disturb the Empress Dowager's reading?
The expression was very innocent, but she didn't make any sound.
After staring at the woman for a while, the empress dowager withdrew her gaze, and no matter how Liu Yusheng sized her up, she never said a word to her again.
The end is immovable like a mountain.
The old mother quickly brought the medicine stove and a bunch of dried herbs, which were all collected from the imperial hospital, so they were all good things.
After lighting up the medicine stove and cleaning her hands, Liu Yusheng began to refine medicine with the existing medicinal materials.
Soon, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
It is different from the smell of sandalwood, but it is also calming.
When this smell spread to the end of the nose, the empress dowager took a look at Liu Yusheng.
The woman immersed in it, her movements are orderly, her face is calm and confident, and she is calm and calm.
With Nanling Wang Ru out a retreat.
"It takes a lot of time to refine the medicine. The princess should go back to the side hall later. The Ai family is not used to the smell."
The woman who was slowly throwing medicinal ingredients into the medicine furnace turned her head, "You can tell me what kind of flavor the Queen Mother likes, maybe I can make it out of medicinal ingredients."
"You are refining medicine, not perfume."
"You can try."
The woman smiled lightly, the Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and finally opened her lips, "Sandalwood."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yusheng covered his mouth, as if he was about to retch.
The reaction was so great that he couldn't even hear the word sandalwood.
The empress dowager closed her eyes, and after a while, "Nurse, go get some sour plums, and bring some sour plum cakes by the way."
"Queen, did you bring me something to eat?"
"There are no rules. The Ai family is the queen mother. How can you call yourself me in front of the Ai family." The empress dowager frowned again, her eyes lingering on her abdomen, "Since you have a body, you should eat on time, you If you’re not hungry, eat the one inside.”
After saying that, he frowned even tighter, threw the scroll and walked into the inner room.
His back was a little stiff, as if he was angry with himself.
The corner of Liu Yusheng's mouth was smiling lightly, which seemed to be similar to what she had guessed.
Try it all morning, try out the awkward old lady.
Even so, the indissoluble hatred is still there, and I don't know how to reduce it.
Back indoors, sitting on the dressing table in front of the window, the Empress Dowager looked at the white hair reflected in the bronze mirror, and curled up her fingers one by one.
"Queen Mother?" The old nanny stood beside her cautiously.
The queen mother was in a bad mood, she didn't dare to guess.
After thinking for a while, he tentatively said, "If the queen mother doesn't like the princess's trouble, why don't the old slaves send her away and let her stay in the side hall?"
"No, if she likes to stay here, just stay here." The old mother's voice made the empress dowager quickly return to normal, "The Ai family personally invited her, how could I neglect her. That would be nothing but tongue-in-cheek."
The old mama bowed her head and kept silent.
The empress dowager obviously didn't like the concubine of Nanling, but she still wanted to call people to live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, seeing her every day, making herself unhappy.
In fact, why bother.
It's just that she didn't dare to say these words, she could only be bored in her heart.
The old woman closed the bronze mirror in front of her, and looked out of the window.
The sun is shining outside, and the flowers are blooming just right, but it can't dispel the loneliness that spreads in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
