After that, she gave Su Jin a red packet. "Here's your reward, hurry and find a princess consort for This Dowager."

"Grandson will definitely not disappoint your grandmother."

With that, he slowly got up and returned to his original position.

Every year in the Fifth Prince Su An, it was the same phrase. Every year, there would be a current Emperor Grandmother, and every year, she would never be old.

Even though she was enjoying it, the empress dowager gave him a red packet and scolded him with a smile.

"You too, hurry up and marry a concubine for This Dowager. Hurry up and pass on your legacy, do you understand?"

Fifth Prince Su An answered very quickly, "Isn't this marrying? Who knows, at that time, I will have to ask for Royal Grandmother to step in and marry my grandson back …"

He was used to glib words, so the Empress Dowager didn't pay much attention to him. After that, there was no more movement.

The people beside him didn't make a sound.

He did not move or even raise his eyes.

Lin Xuecha naturally did not dare to act rashly.

After all, these people all grew up under the restriction of this rule.

Since she had just arrived in the city, she would imitate it. She would not make a mistake.

Available...

Logically speaking, after the crown prince, for the five kings, it should be Su Nanxing's turn now …

How could there be no movement?

Lin Xuecha's eyes slightly moved. Just as she was about to raise her eyes to look, she suddenly heard an indifferent voice from above the hall.

"Wangsun Su Nanxing offers her birthday to the royal grandmother. The royal grandmother, good luck."

As these words fell, everyone in the area sucked in a breath of cold air.

In the palace, the empress dowager's position was even higher than the empress dowager's, and even more so, the emperor's.

The truth was that no one could be offended, not even the Empress Dowager.

Su Nanxing, was this how Su Nanxing celebrated his birthday?

Ordinary.

So ordinary.

He was still that plain?!

What was going on?

Could it be that Ninth Prince Su Nanxing had gone to the border, and had not returned for six years, and had even forgotten how to pay respects?!

Everyone had already guessed what Su Nanxing was thinking, they could not figure it out, and could not figure out what Su Nanxing was thinking.

Someone sighed in a low voice.

In this quiet place where even the sounds of heartbeats could be heard, it was extremely abrupt.

That person softly said. His faint voice contained a tinge of helplessness and heartache.

"Lao Jiu, you've suffered."

"Good."

The empress dowager looked helpless.

Be it in terms of etiquette or words, Su Nanxing had done very well. He did not even have the chance to get people to criticize him.

But it was the tone …

What should he say?

It seemed as if there was a slight coldness amidst his indifference.

This did not resemble Su Nanxing's style.

Su Nanxing never changed his expression.

Other than the last time he saw the old emperor, Lin Xuecha had rarely seen his expression change before, and it had even happened in front of everyone's eyes.

But, why?

The atmosphere began to change bit by bit.

Baili Lianer who was by her side with his eyes lowered and silent, suddenly, moved closer to her.

She seemed to be able to guess what Lin Xuecha was thinking in his heart.

Using a voice that could only be heard by two people, he said to Lin Xuecha, "I heard that in Big Brother Nanxing, Noble Consort Qin was infected with a plague. After Noble Consort Qin died, Empress Dowager was the one who ordered Consort Mother to be cremated.

cremation...

The color in Lin Xuecha's eyes changed again and again.

To modern people, cremation may seem normal, but …

To the people of this dynasty, those who were to be cremated were all extremely vicious and wicked.

There was the theory of burning his soul, so that he would never be able to reincarnate.

No wonder...

Su Nanxing would treat the empress dowager with such an attitude.

Thinking about it, the reason Su Nanxing had that attitude toward the emperor was also because of this, right?

But why hadn't the outside world received any news at all?

They only talked about the death of the Noble Consort Qin, not about being cremated by the plague.

With that thought, Lin Xuecha guessed that it might be someone from the royal family. For the sake of considering the big picture or the face of the royal family, he sealed off the news.

Baili Lianer's voice gently interrupted her thoughts.

"This matter is a secret of the palace. Snow tea, you must not spread it."

Lin Xuecha blinked his eyes, and replied with the same voice.

The voice from above continued. "With this body of yours, quickly take care of it. Royal grandmother, you still have to wait for the day you carry your grandson."

Su Nanxing finally replied with a more normal tone of voice.

"Su Nanxing will."

The empress dowager nodded her head in satisfaction as she handed over a red packet to Su Nanxing.

When Su Nanxing took it and returned to her seat, she suddenly sighed and said.

This Dowager knows that all of you have your own intentions, but since This Dowager is so old, she will easily get tired. This Dowager will not reward all of you one by one.

It was an excuse that no one could hear the Empress Dowager's words.

Although her status was very high, she was still young.

Now, when the Son of Heaven took over, it was already thirty-seven.

At present, an entire 30 years had passed.

The Empress Dowager was only forty-nine years old now.

A woman who was only a dozen years older than the crown prince, how old was she?

Where was the age of a woman who was ten years younger than the current Empress?

After all, the bank had to pay a great deal of attention to this matter.

Everyone rose and bowed to the empress dowager, then sat back down.

Lin Xuecha and Baili Lianer sat on the other side.

After Her Majesty had spoken, the Empress called for the dancers and offered them a song and dance.

Five or six delicate and pretty women, wearing light pink long dresses and holding bright red feathered fans, were dancing in the middle of the hall.

The zither master was playing in a corner of the great hall.

The atmosphere in the entire hall softened.

The Minister had nothing better to do, so he watched the dancers and enjoyed the dance.

Lin Xuecha was also bored to death.

If Su Nanxing sat beside her, she could still take the opportunity to ask him about the empress dowager's matters.

These days, she had been too busy.

Su Nanxing didn't give her the information on the characters in the book either. He only wanted to let her memorize the Way of Tea and practice the tea ceremony.

She fainted herself.

Su Nanxing refused to give it to her, but she didn't remember either, hence she asked him to take a look at that book.

Lin Xuecha's finger, that was as white as jade, unconsciously knocked twice on the table.

Suddenly, her left arm felt a scorching heat. She instinctively retracted her hand, but someone immediately pulled her back.

The man looked anxious and said anxiously, "Snow tea, Snow tea, are you okay? It's my fault, it's my fault, let me see if you're hurt …"

As she spoke, she pulled up Lin Xuecha's sleeves.

Lin Xuecha's gaze tightened as he rejected her, saying, "There's no need, Elder Sister Lian.

Baili Lianer, however, was extremely worried.

Ignoring Lin Xuecha's rejection, both of his hands forcefully pulled up Lin Xuecha's sleeves.

Until he saw Lin Xuecha. There were traces of being burned red on her fair arm.

She was shocked and immediately touched Lin Xuecha's arm randomly.

It was as if he was trying to dry the water trail to prevent Lin Xuecha's arm from getting hurt even more seriously.

"It's over, it's over. I really scalded you, what do we do, Big Brother Nanxing is probably angry at me, what do we do?"

Lin Xuecha's arm, which had lived up to everyone's expectations, had been wiped away by her even more red.

Lin Xuecha bit her lips and resisted the urge to throw the woman in front of him out.

Her other hand pressed down on Baili Lianer's hand, stopping her from moving.

Resisting the pain in his arm, Lin Xuecha said, "Elder Sister Lian, can you call Female Doctor over for Xueyu?"

Baili Lianer's eyes filled with tears.

She stood up abruptly and ran towards the empress.

"Esteemed Empress, Lian'er is in trouble. Lian'er scalded the snowy tea …"

Lin Xuecha's eyes flashed.

Her other hand held onto her rolled up sleeves, not daring to drop it. Her gaze stayed on Baili Lianer's back for a few more seconds.

This was a very indecent action.

For women, the most taboo thing was exposing their skin.

But for Lin Xuecha.

As soon as he revealed it, more than half of his arm was revealed.

However, her original reputation was not that great.

Everyone was accustomed to it.

When Baili Lianer cried, the Queen sent someone to call upon Female Doctor.

The empress dowager heard something and suddenly asked, "Was it Little Snow who hurt her?"

The empress's face was rather unsightly, "In reply to mother, it was that little girl, Xuehua."

The empress dowager stood up and looked in the direction that Baili Lianer had ran towards.

When she saw a girl holding onto a sleeve, the empress dowager waved her over. "Little Snow, come over to This Dowager's side."

Lin Xuecha and the empress dowager had never interacted before.

Because from the moment she was reborn, she had a memory of her own.

Therefore, she was very clear on this point.

However, the Empress Mother wanted her to come, and she had no choice but to obey the decree.

Lin Xuecha stood up and subconsciously, his gaze moved towards Su Nanxing's direction.

Su Nanxing was also looking in their direction with a dark expression.

Lin Xuecha was startled, he retracted his gaze and walked towards the empress dowager.

She went up to the Empress Mother and was about to bow.

However, the empress dowager said, "Quickly come over and let This Dowager have a good look at your injuries."

Hearing that, Lin Xuecha could only, take a few more steps forward.

The empress dowager took her hand and commanded the ministers within the hall, "All of you, turn around."

The ministers were silent for a while, but they followed his instructions.

When she saw this, the Empress Dowager lowered her head and carefully looked at her left hand for a long time.

Lin Xuecha didn't know whether the empress dowager was looking at her wound or that one, the dazzling red cinnabar.

Her eyes shifted slightly as she heard the empress dowager retort in anger.

"Why is this Female Doctor not here yet, doing things slowly, is she crazy?!"

The empress also stood up. "Imperial Mother, please calm your anger. There's some distance between Female Doctor's residence and the main hall, which is why it took so long."

Below the lobby, a woman wearing a light blue dress stood up and said as she bent over.

"Reporting to the empress dowager, Empress is coming at a slow pace. When Female Doctor arrives, Princess Yuexi's hands will probably be destroyed as well.

Why not first wash your wounds on Princess Yuexi with cold water? This way, you can alleviate the burning pain caused by the burns. "

Lin Xuecha also lowered her body, and she replied, "Reporting to the empress dowager, Empress, there's nothing wrong with the Snow Tea, she was just the Elder Sister Lian a moment ago.

It really wasn't a big problem.

Baili Lianer was not careful. The tea that was poured on her arm did not have a high temperature.
