Chapter 353

She and her family knelt down to meet the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager came out of the sedan chair gracefully and was escorted by a group of servants to the main hall of Ye Xiaoxian's house.

Next came a series of etiquette. Ye Xiaoxian served tea. The Empress Dowager took a sip of hot tea and then began to observe Ye Xiaoxian's room.

"Are you used to living here?" Asked the Empress Dowager.

Ye Xiaoxian said, "thank the Empress Dowager for her concern. Everything is fine here."

The Empress Dowager smiled: "yes, after all, this is your home. It's better than mourning there."

Ye Xiaoxian thought, these are polite words, where is good, where is bad, there is no standard, so she stopped talking.

Besides, the Empress Dowager came here to restore public opinion, and she doesn't have to say much.

The Empress Dowager asked Ye Xiaoxian, "what's planted outside your yard?"

Ye Xiaoxian said, "Chimonanthus, just planted, will not bloom this year."

The Empress Dowager said, "in fact, you can drive."

Ye Xiaoxian wondered and said, "just planting it, isn't it so fast?"

The Empress Dowager took another sip of tea, and then put the tea cup on the table: "hurry to send a gardener tomorrow and transplant the shaped flowers directly in your yard, so that you can see the flowers."

Ye Xiaoxian took a deep breath and thought: The Empress Dowager is really rich.

However, the Empress Dowager may just talk about it. She may not take it seriously. She may forget it when she leaves the door.

The atmosphere was suddenly dull here. The Empress Dowager didn't speak, nor did ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian has always been a empress dowager to show off. She is not good at this, so she doesn't take the initiative to speak and only looks out.

The Empress Dowager asked her again, "it's cold recently. Do you have enough charcoal here? Do you have enough winter clothes and quilts?"

"Thank the Empress Dowager for her concern. It's enough." Ye Xiaoxian said.

Then she asked the empress dowager, "how is the Empress Dowager recently?"

The Empress Dowager just picked up the tea cup and drank a mouthful of water. After listening to Ye Xiaoxian's words, she suddenly coughed. The tea in her mouth was about to spray out, and then there was a violent cough.

Ye Xiaoxian felt inexplicable. She didn't know why the dignified empress dowager suddenly coughed. This appearance was not good-looking at all.

The Empress Dowager's maid clapped her back quickly.

The Empress Dowager coughed for a long time and her face turned red. When she finally stopped coughing, she turned to Ye Xiaoxian and asked, "you just asked about AI's health. Don't you care about AI's family?"

Ye Xiaoxian replied, "didn't the Empress Dowager ask first?"

She's just asking back. She's coming and going.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help smiling. The smile looked very bitter.

Yes, she did ask first. She used to treat her daughter like that. How can she care about her?

Maybe I can't wait for her to die.

The Empress Dowager sat for a while and asked some other questions, such as whether xiaobaoshan had gone to the military headquarters and asked Ye Xiaoxian where she usually went. Ye Xiaoxian said she didn't go anywhere and stayed at home.

The Empress Dowager even advised her to go out more if she had nothing to do. Although the national teachers stared at them, they would be fine as long as they didn't leave the capital.

Ye Xiaoxian wondered again.

Is the Empress Dowager kind? Or deliberately set her up?

But ye Xiaoxian didn't have time to think about it. At this time, the Empress Dowager yawned and then said, "I'm sleepy. I want to sleep with you first. Where is the guest room?"

Want to sleep?

Ye Xiaoxian always thought that the Empress Dowager just came to sit for a while and left for an hour at most. Unexpectedly, she still had to sleep here?

The guest room has been sorted out, but I don't know if the Empress Dowager is used to sleeping.

Ye Xiaoxian thought again, whatever she did, she wanted to sleep by herself. Anyway, Xiaofu was such a condition. If she couldn't get used to sleeping, she would naturally leave.

So ye Xiaoxian took the Empress Dowager to the guest room. After the Empress Dowager went in, she told ye Xiaoxian: "wake up the mourning family in the evening, and the mourning family will leave after dinner."

Ye Xiaoxian is stunned. Do you want to have dinner?

……

In the evening, xiaobaoshan also came back.

The food has been prepared. This time, ye Xiaoxian cooked it herself. Because the Empress Dowager was there, she prepared six dishes and one soup.

Xiao Baoshan was also confused. He took off his official clothes and asked Ye Xiaoxian, "the Empress Dowager hasn't left yet?"

Ye Xiaoxian whispered, "not yet. She slept in the guest room and said she wanted to stay for dinner. I don't know what medicine she sells in her gourd."

"Didn't you talk about anything during the day?"

"No, she went to bed after a while."

“……”

Just then, the voice of the Empress Dowager suddenly came from the door: "Xiao Shilang is back?"

The Empress Dowager didn't know when she got up. She just slept in the afternoon, but now she changed her clothes and combed her hair again.

Xiao Baoshan and ye Xiaoxian saluted the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager exempted their gifts, and then sat down at the table to eat.

As if she hadn't eaten for a long time, she sat down and ate as if there were no one else.

Xiao Baoshan and ye Xiaoxian had to eat with her.

The Empress Dowager asked about Xiao Baoshan's situation in the military headquarters, what he did specifically, whether he was happy or not.

After dinner, the Empress Dowager led the people away.

……

After the Empress Dowager left, ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan sat in the house drinking milk tea.

This is also cooked by Ye Xiaoxian. In Tianshan tribe, they have formed the habit of drinking milk tea.

Xiao Baoshan asked about the Empress Dowager's itinerary today. What did they talk about? Ye Xiaoxian said: "there was no talk in total. She was going to say that she was sleepy and wanted to go to bed, and then eat."

Xiao Baoshan looked at Ye Xiaoxian and said, "I haven't had much contact with the Empress Dowager. She seems... Not particularly bad, at least not particularly bad for you."

Ye Xiaoxian said, "this is a phenomenon only after I became a princess. You don't know her before... Just don't say it. The empress dowager, like the national teacher, is cruel and ruthless. When they need you, they will be happy on the surface. When they don't need you, they can cut off your fingers at any time. I won't be confused by her performance now."

Xiao Baoshan's eyes stayed on Ye Xiaoxian's face for two seconds, and then said faintly, "well, in the capital, it's always good to be cautious."

……

After the Empress Dowager came to Ye Xiaoxian's house once, more people came to find Ye Xiaoxian.

Like Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Huang, etc., they are all official family members met during winter hunting.

Although these officials and family members usually have to take care of a large family, it is also a major task for them to move around with each other.

The Empress Dowager's visit to Ye Xiaoxian's house is well known all over the city. Ye Xiaoxian's fame is even louder in the capital. No matter what the Empress Dowager's purpose is, at least now ye Xiaoxian needs them to curry favor with her.

No matter who comes, ye Xiaoxian receives them calmly, makes her specialty snacks, and cooks a pot of milk tea, so that the officials and their families can refill their cups indefinitely, and then chat with Eastern parents and western families for a short time.

In this way, ye Xiaoxian knows a lot of things about various families, such as which childe is more dandy, which eldest lady is more picky about marrying, which has a concubine, and which original wife tore the concubine by hand, and so on.

Of course, there are also some good people and good deeds, such as which minister is the eldest filial son. He stews Chicken Soup for his old mother in snowy days, because his old mother only drinks the chicken soup made by his son.

Not only passed the time, but also better than reading the script.

Ye Xiaoxian originally thought that these officials and their families came to visit, but they were just walking through the stage.

Unexpectedly, some officials and family members came once and fell in love with her house. They came to the door every three days and asked for milk tea and snacks.

Ye Xiaoxian knew that they were interested in her dessert and milk tea.

This milk tea is made of milk and specially boiled pearls. It's the same as modern taste. If it's a woman, she doesn't like it.

……

An endless stream of officials and family members came to the door. Soon after, the National Teacher's wife also came.

After the National Teacher's wife came, she stretched her face and didn't give ye Xiaoxian a good face.

Ye Xiaoxian thought, this house is her territory, and the National Teacher's wife can't help her at all. So he entertained the National Teacher's wife just as he entertained others.

She cooked milk tea, took snacks, and then said to Mrs. Guoshi, "Madam Guoshi, I made these snacks and milk tea. Please try them."

The master's wife knew Ye Xiaoxian was a good cook. She tasted milk tea and her face suddenly relaxed a lot.

After another bite of dessert, she didn't even frown.

However, the National Teacher's wife always had a bad impression on Ye Xiaoxian. She put down the milk tea and snacks and said to Ye Xiaoxian in a strange way: "you turned over very quickly. When you first saw you, you were just a prisoner of our family. Now you have become a princess and live in such a big house."

Ye Xiaoxian couldn't help laughing: "Madam national teacher, you've gone too far. Anyway, I'm also the wife of the general. My husband fought very hard on the battlefield. What's the matter with me? As for the princess, it's given by the Empress Dowager. If the madam national teacher is not convinced, you can also go to the Empress Dowager's palace and live with the Empress Dowager for a while to see if the Empress Dowager will give you a princess Ah. "

"You..." Ye Xiaoxian was so articulate that the master's wife didn't know how to refute.

So the National Teacher's wife kept looking at Ye Xiaoxian's face for a long time and said, "if you don't say anything else, you are really more and more like her now. I dare to say that there is really something between you and the Empress Dowager?"

"What does it matter? Am I still her daughter or some distant niece?" Ye Xiaoxian said, "if so, did I still need to live in your house?"

The National Teacher's wife came this time to see ye Xiaoxian and test the relationship between Ye Xiaoxian and the empress dowager, but she couldn't test either.

But the good thing is that milk tea and snacks are delicious.

The National Teacher's wife thought she couldn't come in vain. She simply opened her stomach here, otherwise she wouldn't be able to eat such delicious milk tea in other places.
