Qian Li nodded, and the group walked inside. The empress dowager probably heard the sound, or maybe she didn't, but maybe she just knew that Qian Li had arrived and wasn't in a hurry to see her, so this was exactly what Qian Li saw when she entered.
With the support of the palace maids, the empress dowager walked towards Qian Li. With a smile on her face, her complexion and complexion looked much better.
"Empress Dowager." When she saw Qian Li, the empress dowager turned around to leave. "Ah, why are you helping This Dowager up? "Who is this? Why did she come at this time?"
The court lady couldn't keep up with her pace for a while, so she couldn't help but answer. "Didn't Your Majesty say you wanted to get up and welcome the princess?"
"Who wants to welcome her? A little girl like you, do you still need me to welcome you personally? "
From the conversation, it could be seen that the empress dowager was actually an old child. She struggled against her will, but this made her seem even more adorable.
Qian Li smiled faintly as she received the empress dowager's hand from the young palace maid and replied, "Yes, yes, yes. The little girl will always fly around. If the empress dowager doesn't look for her, she will always fly over by herself."
Hearing that, the empress dowager couldn't hold back her laughter, but retracted it after a while. "Then if the little girl doesn't have any grudges in her heart and longs for freedom from the outside world, then she might accidentally fly far away and not be able to find her way back?"
"Fallen leaves have to go back to their roots. The little swindler's home is also here, how can they not have a home?"
Hearing this, the empress dowager was finally satisfied. She sat down under Qian Li's support and said, "But the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their bellies. Who can guarantee that the little girl's lies are true?"
When these words came out, the surrounding people couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. The empress dowager swept her eyes over them, but she wasn't able to keep herself in check.
Qian Li was still alright, she had a strong endurance itself.
"Then... Did he want this little girl to show her heart to the empress dowager? What if it's bright red? Empress Dowager will put it back, and if it's black, Empress Dowager will have someone throw it out to feed the dogs.
"Aiya, what nonsense are you talking about? This person is old. It's just that he can't stand those bloody things. Alright, alright, tell me what you came here for."
His heart was already blooming with joy, yet on the surface, he still couldn't help but feel that the empress dowager, who had recovered from her good mood and body, was beyond cute.
She nodded. "Yes, yes, yes, that's right. The little swindler didn't think it through at all, but Esteemed Empress Dowager isn't old at all. If she smiled often, she might get younger."
"Only you can speak."
After saying this, the empress dowager stood up again. She blinked, but her true nature was finally revealed. "There are some pretty flowers in the new courtyard, and they're even blossoming perfectly this season. Why don't you accompany This Dowager to take a look?"
Qian Li nodded her head, "Just as I entered the courtyard, I could smell the fragrance of the flowers, but I was so preoccupied with thinking about the empress dowager that I didn't even get the chance to admire her. This is just right."
Hearing that her idea had been accepted by Qian Li, the empress dowager was truly happy. Hence, an old man and a young girl walked out while supporting each other.
The new breed mentioned by the empress dowager was a flower that had never been seen before in the history of Chang'an City, but Qian Li had seen it before in other places.
This was the cherry blossom that bloomed in winter. The cherry blossoms had different colors and were incomparably beautiful.
"Such beautiful flowers, where did the Empress Dowager get such a treasure?"
It's said that when the emperor won the war years ago, he saw it and liked it, so he brought it back. It's a pity, those first few years, I don't know why, but no matter how you plant it, it just didn't bloom. This year is really strange, it actually bloomed.
Hearing this, Qian Li's thoughts almost floated away. However, when she knew that her current identity was siblings with those people of the palace, she would always feel a little awkward thinking about these past events.
"What are you thinking?" When she received no response, the empress dowager turned to look at Qian Li, only to realise that she seemed to be entranced by something.
"Nope." Qian Li smiled slightly and helped the empress dowager to sit down in the pavilion in the courtyard. She also instructed the old Mama to go marry the pear flower and tea set and come over.
"I just feel that before, they didn't blossom. Perhaps it's because these flowers are intelligent, so if Master isn't happy, they won't be happy either. Now that the empress dowager is in a good mood, they can't stay idle either."
The empress dowager immediately laughed. "You're the funniest girl ever. You actually said that you'd be good and coax my old woman. But ah, who's to be liked by This Dowager."
"At a very young age, Qian Li had already heard a saying, what kind of person are you talking about? Lying to him would only result in punishment from heaven, but Qian Li did not want to be punished by heaven, so what she said was the truth."
While they were talking, the old Mama had already brought all the things that Qian Li needed. Qian Li led the people to play with them, and the empress dowager sat by the side to watch with interest. She also casually pulled Qian Li to talk, which Qian Li responded to.
"Old Mama, you should learn it too. This tea, drinking it everyday doesn't have any harm, and Qian Li can't stay by the empress dowager's side often."
With that said, Qian Li had already poured out the first cup of tea. After that, she made another cup to cool down before passing it to the empress dowager. Before she even finished drinking it, the empress dowager had already nodded in satisfaction.
"Before, Mama said that she did it according to your instructions, and I already felt that it was very fragrant while I was drinking it. But now that I drank it till the original one, I realized that it couldn't be compared at all."
Qian Li smiled slightly, "Making tea is a very simple matter, as long as you master the time, the degree of heat, the quantity and time, there is no problem. Mama did not do it well previously, it must be because Qian Li did not say it clearly."
After saying that, the Xiao Lan also interrupted, "It's not that the princess did not explain clearly, it's just that this servant was too stupid and made a mistake when passing on the message. I hope you won't blame me. "
"What's the matter with you, child? When did This Dowager ever say to blame you? Quickly get up, get up. "
Before Xiao Lan could stand up or say a word of thanks, another voice sounded from the outside, "Your majesty has married."
Qian Li's eyes flashed, he did not expect to meet him the moment she returned.
However, if the emperor appeared, he would definitely ask about Gong Ming, right?
Fortunately, although she didn't directly return to the manor when she returned, she still knew the matters of the manor like the back of her hand. If he asked now, she should be able to deal with it.
After a moment of kneeling, they finally heard Gong Ye's words, "Everyone, rise."
"Yo, the princess is here too."
After seeing the empress dowager, the emperor directly asked Qian Li, but Qian Li guessed that she was originally here for her.
Helpless, Qian Li could only smile and bow once more. "Qian Li greets your majesty."
"You and I are now family, what's the use of being so polite?" After saying that, Gong Ye even extended his hand to support Qian Li, but was retracted by Qian Li without batting an eyelid.
Gong Ye was only stunned for a moment before pretending that he didn't care. He casually withdrew his hand and sat down beside the empress dowager.
"I could smell it from far away. I just don't know what this is."
Hearing that, Qian Li's heart immediately rang an alarm.
Although her cooking skills were not bad after all these years, and she had increased a lot when she was making the tea, perhaps ordinary people would not be able to drink it, but Gong Ye.
He had been drinking for so many years, would he really be unable to do so?
Qian Li's hands, which were hanging by her side, trembled slightly but it was only for a moment.
She suddenly thought of an even more important problem, and that was that, in the current her, other than her heart, Murong Yan's memories were not Qian Li's, the rest were all fake Qian Li. No matter how hard Gong Ye thought about it, he could not find any other clues.
Since that was the case, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
She stood up straight and took the cup that the old Mama had just brought over and poured a cup of tea for Gong Ye, as she had deliberately changed the method she used. At the same time, the empress dowager also answered the emperor's question, "Speaking of that little girl, Qian Li, she was really serious. Knowing that This Dowager will always cough, so she recommended this cup of tea to This Dowager. Your majesty, This Dowager will tell you. Sometimes, This Dowager even feels that it's a pity that Qian Li doesn't want to study medicine.
Gong Ye's eyes narrowed into a line. From the moment he entered, his eyes had never left Qian Li's body.
