Chapter 784
When the queen mother heard that the queen had left, she didn't feel better because of it. She snorted coldly, thinking that the queen didn't intend to come to pay her respects at all, but she just wanted to show the emperor a hypocrisy.
"Empress Dowager, Old Concubine An please see me." Jinping whispered in the Empress Dowager's ear.
"Why is she here again?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, remembering the niece that Old Princess An mentioned, she nodded and said, "Please come in, Old Princess An."
Old Princess An brought her niece into the palace today. She is very confident that as long as the Queen Mother sees her niece, she will definitely like it. When the niece can enter the palace, there will be more chances to see the emperor. Now, so what if the queen is beautiful, could her niece be worse?
"Auntie, I heard that the current empress is unparalleled in beauty, but it has been rumored that she is extremely jealous before entering the palace. Will she allow me to enter the palace?" Liu Zhihua asked in a low voice.
"Zhihua, you don't understand this. There is no woman who is not jealous. The emperor is handsome and handsome. Which woman doesn't like it. The queen is naturally a little more pampered now that she is young, but when she comes out of the city around her, she is just a girl. A little bitch who has never seen the world, no one can compare with her, so of course she can't tell, once there is a comparison, the emperor will not like her." Old Princess An has forgotten the lesson of being humiliated by the queen's words, she is I feel that her niece is incomparable, and the emperor will definitely like it when she sees her.
Liu Zhihua showed a shy expression, she had never met the emperor, but she knew the emperor's heroic past, the only person in this world who could be worthy of her was the emperor.
"Be well-behaved in front of the queen mother. She doesn't like the queen. If you can gain the favor of the queen mother, it will only benefit you and not harm you." Old Princess An reminded in a low voice.
"Aunt, I remember." Liu Zhihua nodded and said.
When the aunt and nephew saw the Compassionate Ning Palace in front of them, they both tactfully did not speak again.
Jinping came out to lead them in, and when she saw Jinping next to Old Princess An, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Who is this girl? It looks...beautiful! Except for the queen, no one in the palace has ever seen anyone as beautiful as this girl.
Liu Zhihua raised his head and smiled at Jinping, lowered his head and followed Old Princess An into the Palace of Compassion.
The Empress Dowager was already waiting for them in the main hall, and when she saw that Old Princess An came in with a young woman, her eyes fell on Liu Zhihua.
"My concubine pays her respects to the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed and safe." Old Princess An bowed her knees and saluted.
"Stay flat." The Queen Mother said lightly, "Give me a seat."
Old Princess An smiled and thanked her, "Thank you Queen Mother."
Liu Zhihua stood beside Old Princess An with her head bowed all the time, even so, just looking at her side face, one could tell that she was a beauty.
"Aijia was thinking about when you will enter the palace and you will come." The queen mother said with a smile.
"The concubine has actually wanted to enter the palace for a long time, isn't she afraid that you will be too busy just after returning to the palace?" Old Princess An said with a smile, looking at Liu Zhihua, "Empress Dowager, this is the niece that the concubine mentioned to you earlier. , whose nickname is Zhihua."
Liu Zhihua stepped forward and saluted, "Zhihua has met the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe."
Listening to her crisp and sweet voice, the queen mother flashed a satisfied smile in her eyes, "Raise your head and let Aijia see."
"Yes." Liu Zhihua raised her head shyly, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were dark and bright looking at the Queen Mother.
"Sure enough, she is a beauty." The queen mother nodded, and she was very satisfied with Liu Zhihua's appearance. If she wanted to stay in the palace, at least she couldn't be too different from the queen, otherwise the emperor would not like it. Not as beautiful as Lu Yaoyao, but at least she is much better than Lu Yaoyao in terms of birth.
Liu Zhihua blushed, "The Empress Dowager praised you."
Old Princess An looked at Liu Zhihua with a smile, and said to the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, this concubine is good at everything else, except that she is easily shy."
"It's not a good thing to be shy." The Queen Mother said with a smile, "I heard from your aunt that you grew up beside your grandmother since you were young?"
Liu Zhihua said, "Back to the Empress Dowager, the courtiers have been by my grandmother's side since childhood."
Old Princess An said, "This child is the child of the concubine's youngest brother, and she is an old daughter. The concubine's old mother loves her very much."
The Queen Mother glanced at Old Princess An, "The Ai family remembers that Mrs. Liu is a famous talented woman. At that time, even the great Confucians of Qi State admired her. You grew up under her watch. You must have excellent qualifications."
Liu Zhihua said humbly, "The courtier's daughter can't learn half of her grandmother."
Old Princess An smiled and said, "Queen Dowager, ever since Zhihua knew that he was going to enter the palace to greet you, he specially copied a Buddhist scripture in order to express his feelings for you today."
It's not a secret that the Empress Dowager likes to worship Buddha. Liu Zhihua doesn't know about the Empress Dowager's other hobbies, and copying Buddhist scriptures is the most error-free.
"Really?" The Empress Dowager's smile deepened, she still had a good impression of Liu Zhihua, at least she seemed soft-tempered, and she wouldn't be a difficult person to handle in the future.
Liu Zhihua handed over the two Buddhist scriptures he had written.
Jinping took it from her and handed it over to the Queen Mother.
The queen mother took a few glances, and admired secretly in her heart, she was worthy of being the granddaughter taught by Mrs. Liu, and I am afraid that there are not many young women in Kyoto who can match this word.
Old Princess An said with a smile, "This child has made a fool of himself in front of the Queen Mother."
The queen mother said, "The Ai family thinks it's very good, so why are you making a fool of yourself?"
Liu Zhihua lowered her head shyly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
Old Princess An knew that things were almost done, as long as the Queen Mother was satisfied, her niece would definitely be selected by then.
"Jin Ping, take Miss Liu for a walk outside, the palace is beautiful, Miss Liu will go and have a look." The Queen Mother said softly.
Liu Zhihua knew that the Empress Dowager must have something to say to Old Princess An, she said with a smile, "I heard that the palace is beautiful and beautiful, and I am lucky enough to see it today. It is really a blessing for my daughter-in-law."
The queen mother said, "There will be more opportunities in the future."
Old Princess An laughed when she heard this.
After Liu Zhihua went out, the queen mother asked, "Princess An, is your niece this year's show girl?"
Old Princess An replied, "Back to the queen mother, Zhihua is this year's show girl, and she will enter the palace for a draft next month."
The queen mother nodded softly, "There are too few concubines in the palace, so it is indeed necessary to choose the right one among the beautiful girls."
"Empress Dowager, other concubines can't guarantee it, but this concubine's niece is the most obedient and filial." Old Princess An said.
"Being obedient and being filial is the most important thing." When the Empress Dowager remembered how Lu Yaoyao made her heart swell with anger yesterday, she couldn't believe that the emperor could really spoil her for the rest of her life.
Old Princess An said with a smile, "That's not it."
The queen mother glanced at her lightly, "Your niece, Aijia, knows it and likes it in her heart, but after all, it is the emperor's draft, so it depends on the emperor's intentions. It is the ability to make the emperor like it."
"The concubine will tell Zhihua." Old Princess An nodded knowingly after hearing the sound.
