Lin Shuqian has something else to do in the afternoon, and Qi Mingxuan can't stay in the palace for too long. Although they are not willing to give up, they still have to separate after all.
Qi Mingxuan left Qifeng palace, and Lin Shuqian lay back in bed, feeling sweet and reluctant.
Lin Shuqian rubbed his bloodshot eyes, patted his face, and forced down the smile that seemed to be nothing at the corner of his mouth.
When it's time, Zhirong takes a group of people into the room to wait on the Empress Dowager.
Zhirong opened the curtain and was startled.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were swollen, and her nose was red, as if she had just cried.
"Come on, get two popsicles."
Zhirong knelt down beside the bed and asked in a low voice, "what's wrong with the Empress Dowager? Do you need to ask the doctor to come and have a look?"
Lin Shuqian shook his head feebly, and seemed to be distracted.
"No, I just had a nightmare."
The maids in the room did not dare to make a sound, for fear that the Empress Dowager would be in a bad mood and vent her anger on them.
After a while, the little maid in waiting came into the room with the ice handkerchief. Zhirong pressed Lin Shuqian's eyes gently with the handkerchief. After a while, the red and swollen blood disappeared.
"Empress dowager, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Lin Shuqian weakly raised an arm and motioned Zhirong to help her up.
"I'm not going to sleep. I have something else to do in the afternoon."
Zhirong was a little distressed. The Empress Dowager was so upset that she was still thinking about the prince.
……
Lin Shu got up a little late, and it took a lot of effort to dress up. He arrived at the Royal Garden half a time later than the original time.
In fact, there are no flowers to enjoy in this weather, but in the name of enjoying flowers, she and Jia Xinxin are going to choose a music teacher for liang'er.
Liang'er, as the king of a country in the future, is indispensable in the six arts of gentleman.
Now your majesty doesn't even care about the government, let alone the prince's affairs. Naturally, the choice of master falls on the Empress Dowager and queen.
But both of them are female dependents. It's not convenient for them to see the teacher in person. They can only get to know each other from the female dependents.
When Lin Shuqian entered the imperial garden, he saw a group of ladies around Jia Xinxin from a distance.
"The Empress Dowager arrived --"
the women's families all got up at once. They stepped back on both sides and gave way with their heads down.
Lin Shuqian took people into the royal garden. The ladies lowered their heads, but couldn't help looking at them quietly.
It was just heard before, but now it is true that the Empress Dowager is not the same as in the rumor.
It turns out that when the Empress Dowager went out, she had one or two people with her, and she once made a mistake when she was admitted by a lady who didn't look at her.
Today's empress dowager travels with complete ceremonial guards and great momentum. She is elegant and dignified. No one who has no eyes can admit her mistake.
Someone glanced at Jia Xinxin secretly again. The empress has been used to being so overbearing since she was a child. Now she has to invite the Empress Dowager to discuss the prince's affairs. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager in the palace is not what she used to be.
As soon as he appeared, no one dared to take the Empress Dowager Lin Shuqian for granted.
When the Empress Dowager was seated, all of them hastened to say hello.
"Get up."
The people bowed their heads and got up to find their position.
Lin Shuqian's eyes swept around the crowd. These people are not strangers. After all, there are only so many people who can enter the palace.
