"Mufei is so beautiful today." Xia Junchang praised as I helped Grand Concubine Yi out.
We acted as if nothing had happened, but they were even more heartbroken for me, and while we ate, they kept feeding me.
When he was almost done eating, Xia Junchang squeezed my hand and said, "Mufei, I'm sorry. Tang'er has troubled your heart again. It's just that this time, I really don't want to let go of Zhiqiu's hand."
Grand Concubine Yi nodded, her eyes brimming with tears as she said, "As long as you two want to be together, mufei will beg the empress dowager even if you lose your face. Mufei won't blame you for anything. Tang'er, your heart's already done enough to blame yourself."
I chuckled. "He actually wants to wait for you, Grand Concubine, to teach him a lesson."
"You, ah, eating the inside out." Xia Junchang also smiled easily.
Grand Concubine Yi finally smiled, then took my hand and placed it in Xia Junchang's. "Mufei only likes to know the autumn. Let's go to the empress dowager and plead for mercy."
Xia Junchang sighed, "Didn't you say you'd be happy? Why are you crying again? "
Wiping my tears, I am glad that I will still be moved to tears. Mother once said that such a heart is the simplest, easiest to be happy and satisfied.
I think we really should let Grand Concubine Yi worry about us. Her body is so weak, but she has to worry about us all the time.
He looked back at Xia Junxiang with an apologetic expression.
It was her first time visiting the empress dowager, but she was very cautious.
When they arrived at the empress dowager's residence, even her breathing felt heavy. The difference between this place and Grand Concubine Yi's was like the difference between heaven and earth. There was an atmosphere of tranquility and majesty.
When the two eunuchs saw Grand Concubine Yi, they said affectionately, "Grand Imperial Concubine's peace of mind, Third Prince's peace of mind, esteemed imperial concubine's better health. Yesterday, Esteemed Empress Dowager was still thinking about it."
"The empress dowager sure is considerate. This consort is already much better."
"Grand Imperial Concubine's complexion looks really good. More than ten years have passed, but she's still so young and beautiful."
"Ai, old, old. I'll trouble Eunuch Luo to go inform Esteemed Empress Dowager."
"This old servant will go right away. Grand Imperial Concubine, be careful. All of you come quickly and support Grand Imperial Concubine."
Eunuch Luo really was an intelligent person. He deserved to be served by the empress dowager's side. He spoke and spoke, but also knew how to conduct himself.
"Don't be nervous." Xia Junchang smiled at me.
How can I not be nervous? My palms are sweating. This is the first time I've come here to see the empress dowager. She has quite a bit of authority in the harem and Grand Concubine Yi also came because of me and him.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager has an invitation." Eunuch Luo came out with a smile to invite the grand imperial concubine in.
As soon as we entered, I stood by Grand Concubine's side. Others treated me like a palace maid. Xia Junchang and Grand Concubine Yi bowed towards the empress dowager before sitting to one side.
"We're all old. Grand Concubine, you have to pay attention to your health."
After a few scenes were over, it was time for the elderly to sigh.
Her Majesty's voice was rather majestic. I raised my head and saw that she had silver hair, but it was filled with elegance and elegance.
"That's right, I'm already old, and my body is no longer as strong as it was before." Grand Concubine Yi's face was full of sighs as well.
She was also one of those people who didn't like twists and turns. After a short conversation, she went straight to the point. "Big sister empress dowager, I think we're about the same age now. Jun Tang is the one who's the most worried. "To tell you the truth, Esteemed Empress Dowager came here today for the matter of Jun Tang, so I hope that you can grant my wish."
The empress dowager put down her teacup and looked Xia Junchang in the eye. "Why are you being so courteous, Grand Concubine? We've been sisters for decades, and you call me elder sister. Your problem is mine.
"No, that's not it. She came for this. Big sister empress dowager, Jun Tang likes a woman in the palace. I wonder if big sister empress dowager can bestow her a marriage alliance with Jun Tang by leaving the palace."
The empress dowager smiled. "It's not that this concubine is talking about you, it's a matter of youth, but you also have the leisure to worry about it. Didn't Jun Tang have a very good relationship with the emperor? "Tell the emperor that he won't refuse either, right?"
Xia Junchang was anxious. He stood up and bowed towards the empress dowager, "I hope the empress dowager can grant my request. She isn't the emperor's concubine, nor is she a palace maid.
Now that he spoke, the empress dowager was obviously very careful with her words. With that, the empress dowager let out a sigh of relief and said, "What's your name? For Jun Tang to care so much about the Emperor's annual talent show, you can only choose a few every year. This one can make the decision. How can you make the imperial concubine worry so much?"
Xia Junchang said gently, "Her name is Yun Zhiqiu."
Empress Dowager didn't actually have any impression of my name, so she smiled and said, "Alright, I'll make this decision and match this Yun Zhiqiu to him …"
"Why didn't mother ask us for our opinion? "No matter what, she is still my woman?" It was a high-pitched voice, filled with a faint domineering aura.
My heart, from being held high and then down, is still held high again.
