Princess Changze held onto Empress Dowager Wang's arm and said smilingly: "Who has a dog's nose? I can't admit it, but you like the Fourth Miss and you like her, so why did you bring me in? "
Empress Dowager Wang also laughed along, "Who else can surpass you if I like you?"
Princess Changze laughed even harder.
Lin Shu's heart slowly sunk. To be able to make the Empress Dowager Wang say such words, he must truly love him.
After laughing for a while, the Empress Dowager Wang held Lin Shu's hand, looked at Grand Madam, and said: "Actually, this one has a request for you, and knows that it's too abrupt. Last night, I thought about it for half a night, but I don't know how to speak with you, and Chang Ze advised me, saying that Grand Madam of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is an extremely good person, if not, I would not have the face to say it in front of everyone else …"
The Grand Madam smiled. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, just say it. What's there to be embarrassed about in front of me?"
"This Dowager wants fourth miss to stay at the Tzu Ning Palace. What does Grand Madam think?" The Empress Dowager Wang's voice was kind, but the words that came out shocked everyone. It was as if she did not see the astonishment on the grandfather and grandson's face as he slowly said: "If you say it aloud, then it's no joke called Grand Madam. As an old man, I would rather have a young girl accompany me by my side and chat and amuse me by my side, but there are many concubines in the palace.
Saying that, she let out a long sigh, "Thankfully, I had Chang Ze by my side before, so these days were easy to pass. But now that I'm no longer young, I can't possibly keep her by my side forever, can I? This wasn't pampering her, it was harming her … but she couldn't let go of This Dowager. To be honest, no one would take care of This Dowager after getting married, so she couldn't be at ease … Isn't this saying that your family's fourth miss is a good person? It would be better to approach the palace to accompany This Dowager. "
"Now that I think about it, isn't this excellent? Although fourth miss can't serve you for the past few years, but with the title of being raised by This Dowager's side, when we wait for the marriage ceremony in a few years time, it will be more pleasing to the ears, or at that time, This Dowager can just directly point out a good marriage for fourth miss, what do you think? "
Lin Shu pursed her lips, the reputation of being raised beside Empress Dowager Wang was naturally pleasant to hear, but if one day the Empress Dowager Wang dislikes this reputation, then there was no need to keep this reputation … The Princess Changze was really good at scheming. He knew that he was the lifeblood of his mother, so he left his in the palace to deal with his mother …
"I don't know what good fortune I accumulated in my previous life, but it actually entered the eyes of the empress dowager and sent the fourth miss into Tzu Ning Palace. I'm willing to do ten thousand, after all, this is a good fortune that no one else can hope for. It's just that this girl is my granddaughter, I can't bear to part with her from her, so I don't even know …"
Immediately, Empress Dowager Wang's face did not look as good as before. He acted as if he was going to grab the tea Gu at the side, and released the hand he had been holding on Lin Shu.
The royal family's thoughts were so difficult to fathom. When they were willing to lift you up, they could raise you up to the heavens. If they hated you, they could also ruthlessly trample you down into the earth.
Princess Changze gave a faint smile as he looked at Grand Matriarch. "Esteemed Empress Dowager is willing to raise the young lady of the Hou Mansion in this letter. It would be the fortune of the entire Hou Mansion if word got out. Although she was born from a concubine, she was still the daughter of the Fifth Wife, right? "Originally, I tried to persuade Esteemed Empress Dowager as well, saying that the fourth and fifth young miss were all good, but how could a concubine have the right to keep her by her side!
Fortunately, Second Madam had told her that the Fifth Madam was in so much pain that he felt as if he was seeing an eyeball. If Lin Shu was not here, he was afraid that the Madam Lian would be willing to stay, and because of Second Madam's words, she came up with a plan.
On that day, before Second Madam left, she didn't forget to pack some Gui Yuan from Fujian Province for him to install, just so that he would be at ease … Who knows, maybe she would have more uses for Second Madam in the future.
Empress Dowager Wang said in a cold voice, "Changze, there's no need for you to persuade me. Since Grand Madam isn't willing, then there's no need to force it on me. There are many young ladies of the appropriate age in the capital, and we don't necessarily need a lady of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.
Step by step, she climbed up from the palace maid to the Consort's position, and from there on to the position of Empress. Currently, she was the number one person in the imperial harem. In all these years, no one had dared to go against her wishes.
The Grand Madam glanced at the Empress Dowager Wang and said with a smile, "What the empress dowager said … I'm naturally willing to do it. Whoever's family doesn't want their own young lady to be raised by the empress dowager, not to mention the young lady by your side, even the rest of the girls in the mansion will be proud when they leave. But I have to go back and tell my wife and Fifth Master about this matter.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Wang's complexion was a little better, her uneasy heart slightly relaxed, "Besides, although these Tzu Ning Palace items are all good, this little girl always has clothes and jewelry that he is reluctant to part with, so he has to go back and pack them up." This was the meaning of agreeing.
Lin Shu's heart sank again, she knew that she had no way to speak of this matter, if she continued to say that I was not willing, it would be the first time Grand Madam did not forgive her and her mother.
But now, the Grand Madam didn't even put her and his mother in his heart. How could the wily Grand Madam not understand his thoughts?
In the end, Grand Madam still abandoned her and his mother!
Lin Shu felt the loving gaze of the Empress Dowager Wang and said softly, "This humble girl … This commoner was naturally willing to keep his by the side of the empress dowager, but he couldn't bear to part with her mother … "My mother only had a daughter like me. I've been thinking too much about not seeing his for the past two days …"
After Princess Changze heard this, he hurriedly interrupted, "All mothers of the world have the same thoughts. I presume that Fifth Madam also knows what is the best choice for Fourth Miss. "
She covered her mouth and sneered, "Anyway, I've never been a mother before, so I can't understand the feelings of the Fifth Madam. I only know that Esteemed Empress Dowager is the kindest person. Speaking of which, Esteemed Empress Dowager hadn't seen the Fifth Madam before, nor did she know if the Fifth Madam could play leaf cards. Esteemed Empress Dowager didn't like to play cards with the empress dowager, and always said that the empress dowager had allowed her to do as she pleased. "
"When the time comes, when the Fifth Madam enters the palace to play cards with Esteemed Empress Dowager, I'll have to keep an eye on the Fifth Madam. If she lets the empress dowager off, I'll be the first to disagree."
With a few words, he interrupted Lin Shu's conversation just now.
The Empress Dowager Wang did not take the little girl's words to heart, he only felt that this matter could be considered as Grand Madam agreeing to it being enough, and smiled: "Since that is the case, I shall instruct the palace maids to clean up the west wing, the east wing is Changze's place, the palace's relationship is extremely complicated, if there is anything that fourth miss does not understand, we can just go and ask Changze."
"There are always people in this palace who say that Changze has an arrogant nature, but they say that they're not familiar with her. After they get to know her, they know that she's a very good person to be with."
Under the heavens, the arrogant attitude of the Princess Changze would probably be restrained in front of the Empress Dowager Wang, the Emperor and Lin Pei!
Lin Shu knew that this matter could be considered to be over, and she could only retreat to the side and listen to Empress Dowager Wang and the rest.
Before long, it was time for lunch. Empress Dowager Wang had instructed the manager's aunt to prepare a meal and even asked Lin Shu what she liked to eat.
Lin Shu only smiled as she picked up two simple dishes, causing the Empress Dowager Wang to laugh and say: "He is an easy to support girl."
Lin Shu quietly took a glance at Empress Dowager Wang, and felt that the affection she had for him on the surface was not fake. She guessed that Empress Dowager Wang probably did not know about the ugly things that happened between Lin Pei and Princess Changze … When they thought about it, it made sense. No one would dare to casually say such a thing when a young lady had done it, not to mention that Empress Dowager Wang was only the Princess Changze's aunt.
Thinking about it, Lin Shu felt that she still had a chance of survival. If the Empress Dowager Wang knew that he was standing on the side of the Princess Changze, then she and his mother would have lost.
Lin Shu knew that she could not reveal herself in front of the Empress Dowager Wang, and had even mustered her strength to accompany the Empress Dowager Wang in speaking. She had even mentioned Yuan Xiaoyi, who had the most popular Liucheng Garden, to him. Other people always say that Yuan Xiaoyi is good at singing and acting, but it seems like it's the same to me when I look at it from the sidelines. I just think that Yuan Xiaoyi is really good-looking, that's all. "
This was the truth, but in her previous life, she had also heard someone mention that the Empress Dowager Wang did not like to watch plays. Every time the Emperor of the Dawn was going to give her a go, she would rather invite the vaudeville team to the palace than the troupe to the palace.
As expected, Empress Dowager Wang was very happy when he heard this, "You are the same as This Dowager, This Dowager also doesn't like to watch games, I keep having the feeling that those people are babbling and making This Dowager's head hurt, what's the meaning of that? Why not find someone to play Ye Zichen's card with him? If you don't, go back and tell your grandmother to teach you. After teaching you for a few days, and then fight a few more times after you enter the palace, your skills will gradually improve. "
