When all the people left, the temple was quiet again.
Kong nvshi offered hot tea to the Empress Dowager and asked.
"You've been busy for a long time. Would you like to sleep?"
The Empress Dowager took off the bead string on her wrist and fiddled with the Buddha beads while thinking.
"Ai Jia is thinking about something."
Kong Nu Shi said, "if you don't dislike the stupidity of your servant, you can talk to your servant. Your servant may be able to give you advice."
The Empress Dowager still trusted her and said without much hesitation.
"Just now, concubine Lao seemed to have something to say to the AI family, but she was stopped by the emperor. What do you think concubine Lao wanted to say?"
Kong nvshi thought carefully: "it should be a more important thing, otherwise the emperor will not stop the concubine in front of you."
Although she has been used to it for a long time, every time she talks about the word "Fei Fei", her feeling is very subtle. She wants to laugh but can't laugh.
In fact, the Empress Dowager is almost the same.
They have lived in the harem for decades and have never seen such a funny title.
If she were a thin skinned concubine, she probably wouldn't have the face to see people. The fact that Fei Fei still dares to see people now is enough to show how firm her mind is.
The Empress Dowager said slowly, "Ai family also thinks it is a very important thing."
Even if she doesn't know it, since she already knows it, she has to find out.
Decades of experience in living in the harem told her that she either didn't know at all or had to know clearly. What she feared most was a little knowledge.
The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, immediately wrote a letter, sealed it properly and handed it to Ganfu.
"You run for the mourning family and give this letter to Princess Hua'an. Try not to let anyone know."
Gan Fu took the letter with both hands and replied respectfully, "here."
He left the temple with the letter.
In order not to attract other people's attention, Ganfu deliberately changed into civilian clothes, did not take his entourage, and acted alone.
When Ganfu arrived at Princess Hua'an, something happened in the princess's house.
The housekeeper of Princess mansion asks Gan Fu to wait in the flower hall.
"Your Highness is dealing with a bit of housework and will come over very soon. Please have some tea."
Gan Fu took a sip of tea and chatted casually: "I heard that Miss Xia is going to marry Wang Jingxian soon?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "yes, the time is set for next month. At that time, father-in-law Gan can come and have a cup of wedding wine."
Gan Fu: "that's natural. I must be happy for such a great event."
At this time, in the wing room in the backyard, the atmosphere was depressed and dreary.
Princess Hua'an is having a headache about Lu Xinyao and Xia Yifei.
Xia Yifei is her son. He was born in nineteen and has a beautiful face.
His character is diametrically opposite to that of his sister Xia Yuran.
Xia Yuran is a person who only wants to be happy, never cares what others think, goes his own way, and acts recklessly.
Xia Yifei is silent and introverted. He doesn't like to talk. He doesn't know human and worldly wisdom. He only knows how to read all day. He is a complete nerd.
In the past, Princess Hua'an didn't think his character was bad, but she thought he was very good.
However, she never thought that such a clever and obedient son had mixed up with Lu Xinyao!
Previously, Princess Hua'an was entrusted by the Empress Dowager to find a suitable marriage for Lu Xinyao. She sympathized with Lu Xinyao's current situation and left Lu Xinyao in the Princess House.
Recently, Princess Hua'an is too busy to arrange her daughter Xia Yuran's dowry and give Lu Xinyao a look at others. She is too busy to care about Lu Xinyao.
Until this morning, Xia Yifei suddenly came to Princess Hua'an, knelt in front of her, said he wanted to marry Lu Xinyao and asked his mother for perfection.
Princess Hua'an was almost angry on the spot.
She wanted to find a husband for Lu Xinyao, but she didn't want to marry Lu Xinyao into her own home!
Then Princess Hua'an asked Lu Xinyao to come and ask her what was going on?
Princess Hua'an knows her son. He is introverted and seldom takes the initiative to communicate with others. Let alone with women outside, she will keep a distance even with her own sister to avoid exceeding the rules.
He will suddenly propose to marry Lu Xinyao. Lu Xinyao must have seduced him.
Facing the questioning of Princess Hua'an, Lu Xinyao was stunned and panicked immediately.
She really didn't know Xia Yifei wanted to marry herself.
Since she lived in the princess's house, her living conditions have been much better than when she was in the Lu family, but she will inevitably be a little depressed.
Princess Hua'an is very busy and has no time to pay attention to her. She is also embarrassed to disturb Princess Hua'an because of such a small matter.
With no place to talk about her inner depression, she can only talk to the koi in the pool.
She thought there was no one around, so she said all those words in her heart, but unexpectedly, Xia Yifei, who happened to pass by, listened to them.
Since then, Lu Xinyao will meet Xia Yifei from time to time.
Neither of them is a talkative person. When they meet, they just say hello politely and pass by.
That's all they meet.
Lu Xinyao never thought that Xia Yifei would run to find Princess Hua'an and say he wanted to marry her.
It came so suddenly!
Lu Xinyao tried hard to calm herself down.
Having experienced so many things, she knows she can't just cry when she meets something like before.
Tears can't solve any problems.
Lu Xinyao knelt down and said word by word.
"I have only sisterhood for Xia Gong Zi, we have only talked a few times, and we have never had any excessive actions. We are very clear about it and implore the princess's Royal Highness!"
Princess Hua'an didn't believe it: "if you just said a few words, how could he suddenly say he wanted to marry you?"
Lu Xinyao pulled her skirt tightly, and her palms were full of sweat.
She said in a trembling voice, "everything I said is the truth. I can swear that if I have a lie, I will die."
When Princess Hua'an saw her, she made a poisonous oath without blinking, and her anger calmed down a little.
Lu Xinyao doesn't look like a liar.
If she is acting, she is also very good.
If she had such acting skills, she could have been left in the palace. Why should she fall to this point now?
Princess Hua'an's doubts began to waver.
Then Xia Yifei spoke.
"Miss Lu and I really only said a few words. Besides, we have no friendship."
As soon as Princess Hua'an saw her son, the anger she had just suppressed burst out.
She asked in a deep voice, "since you have no friendship, why do you want to marry her? You have to have a decent reason?"
Xia Yifei hesitated before whispering.
"Yesterday, I was taken out to tea by my friend. I happened to hear someone talking about the Lu family. I also mentioned Miss Lu in passing. It was very ugly."
