Chapter 197: Full of sarcasm and malicious intent
After Dong Ling's stimulation, Xu Yan'er calmed down.
Dong Ling glanced at her, changed his position and continued to rub her waist.
In Xu Yan'er's view, this scene was a hidden provocation!
This is deliberately showing off the child in front of her!
She didn't want to see Dong Ling being so cocky, but she had nowhere to go.
Forget it, she can bear it!
"Dong Ling, we are all from the Huaiyang Palace. We prosper together and suffer together. If I make a mistake, my wife will be to blame. Why don't you tell me everything my wife told you, so that I can avoid it in advance." Xu Yan'er carefully asked Dong Ling for his opinion.
In fact, she was also extremely panicked and at a loss.
"Then I will kindly remind you. Just remember one thing: follow the rules! The imperial capital is full of powerful people, and we can't afford to offend any of them. If we accidentally offend a powerful person, not only will our master be implicated, but we won't know how we died!"
Xu Yan'er felt a little scared, but she didn't want to show it on her face, so she turned away pretending not to care.
Dong Ling changed her posture and pounded her thighs. Her whole body was stiff and sore. If she had to sit in the carriage for a few more days, she might not be able to bear it.
"What are you showing off? You're rubbing and pounding, as if you're afraid that others don't know you're pregnant?" Xu Yan'er couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up and pointed at Dong Ling.
Dong Ling wanted to tear Xu Yan'er apart. It was none of Xu Yan'er's business that she rubbed her waist and beat her legs!
"I'm just showing off, so what! I have the capital to show off, do you? You occupy the prince every day, but you just can't get pregnant!"
"You!" Xu Yan'er was so angry that her face turned blue.
However, in this battle, Dong Ling was ultimately the better one.
……
Ji Chuhe is already dressed.
Entering the palace to meet the emperor and the empress dowager is subject to royal ceremonies and strict rules of dress.
Xiao Yan'an also tidied up his clothes and came in front of Ji Chuhe. Looking at Ji Chuhe in such a gorgeous dress, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Even if Ji Chuhe stood among the noble ladies in the imperial capital, her demeanor and bearing were not inferior in the slightest, and she was even more outstanding.
Think about Xu Yan'er again. Even if the same clothes were worn on her, it would not have such an effect.
When he was a child, he also came to the imperial capital to visit his relatives with his mother.
But I was too young at that time and I don’t remember many things.
Nowadays, even in this palace which is only used as a resting place for princes and important ministers returning from abroad, one can already feel the majesty and oppression of imperial power.
At this moment, he deeply understood his mother's painstaking efforts.
Why don't you want him to marry Xu Yan'er?
He also felt ashamed again for his immaturity.
At this time, a woman in palace dress walked in and saluted Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe with a smile on her face.
"My Lord, Madam, I was asked by the old man from the Duke Rong's Mansion to explain some of the palace rules to you two."
Ji Chuhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was entrusted by the Rongguo Mansion. No wonder he looked much kinder.
"Thank you, aunt." Ji Chuhe responded softly, and quickly asked Mianzhu to hand over some benefits.
Having gained some benefits, this person described it in great detail.
……
Yishou Palace.
The Queen was coming with her concubines to pay respects to the Queen Mother.
"Empress, Princess Huaiyang has arrived at the temporary palace and will soon be entering the palace for an audience. The emperor will also come to Yishou Palace after leaving the court. You should stay for the time being."
"Yes, mother." The queen responded respectfully.
"Serve some tea, fruits and snacks first," the Queen Mother ordered.
Everyone who stayed in Yishou Palace had different thoughts, and they didn't know why the Empress Dowager made such a big fuss.
A trace of contempt flashed across Concubine Luo's eyes, who was sitting below the Queen.
After not seeing each other for so many years, she was really looking forward to meeting the Princess of Huaiyang. She wondered how miserable she must be in such a remote place!
I heard that a princess has to rely on doing business to support the whole palace.
Prince Huaiyang is such a good husband!
He eats the princess's dowry and still wants the princess to support the family. What a coward!
……
In his previous life, Ji Chuhe was also summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother, but that was many years later.
Walking within the palace walls today, I can’t find a trace of familiarity.
The eunuch who came to receive them brought the three people to Yishou Palace.
"Princess Huaiyang is here!" a message was announced.
The princess walked slowly into the palace with Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe.
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the three people, with different expressions.
The princess is graceful and elegant, with extraordinary bearing, and she is still the model of a noble lady in people's memory!
The most surprising thing is that this face not only does not show any trace of vicissitudes, but the skin is delicate, and there are not even any wrinkles that should be seen at this age. It seems that time has only faded her youthfulness, making her more elegant and charming.
Looking at the prince Xiao Yan'an, he completely inherited the best features of his parents! His face is as beautiful as jade, his spirit is outstanding, and he deserves the saying: "The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world."
And Ji Chuhe, who is pure and clean, naturally without any embellishment. She has the dazzling brightness and beauty of her age, yet also the calmness and dignity that does not match her age.
Did this family really come from that remote and poor area of Huaiyang?
Concubine Luo's expression became a little tense, and her hands were tightly clasped on the armrests of the chair.
The three men knelt down respectfully.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the Empress."
The etiquette and rules are just right.
"No need to formality, please take a seat." The Queen Mother raised her hand.
"Thank you, Queen Dowager." The princess slowly stood up.
Seats had already been prepared for them in the hall, and a palace maid guided them to sit down.
The position of the princess is second only to that of the queen.
Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe were at the back of the imperial concubines.
"Yan'an." The Queen Mother suddenly called out, "Come, come to me and let me take a good look at you."
Before Xiao Yan'an's buttocks touched the stool, he quickly stood up and walked towards the empress dowager.
"The Empress Dowager."
"You've grown up now. I remember the last time I saw you, you were not even as tall as the table next to me." The Queen Mother's face was full of kindness, as if she saw her own grandson.
"I haven't seen the Empress Dowager for many years, and she is still the same as when I saw her back then." Xiao Yan'an responded calmly.
"I'm old, old. Look at my hair. I wonder how much white it has become." The Queen Mother smiled and pointed to her temples.
"The Empress Dowager doesn't age at all. Time never defeats beauty." Xiao Yan'an said in a slick manner.
"An'er!" the princess immediately scolded.
"It's okay, it's okay! This child is so sweet, he will definitely be able to make girls happy!" The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hand.
The people in the hall laughed, and the scene was full of joy.
Ji Chuhe sat properly, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, still not daring to relax even a bit.
Since ancient times, the harem has been a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.
Besides, they have no allies on this battlefield.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you are so right. I have heard that our young master is young and passionate, and extremely romantic." Concubine Luo smiled brightly and continued the conversation.
This sentence seems to be a compliment, but it is actually full of sarcasm.
