"No, my royal grandmother, my grandson is safe in Caixie Palace, mufei treats Yun Long extremely well." He didn't expect that Yun Long would say that, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
"Is that so?" The Empress Dowager said amiably: "That's good. As long as your grandson is safe and sound. " Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at me, who was still looking down at me, and said slowly, "Shi Shuyuan, come up and have a chat."
I thanked him and stood aside. Listening to the intimate conversation between the Empress Dowager and Yun Long, he had a nagging feeling that the Empress Dowager was not as calm as she was. At the very least, she wouldn't be able to let go of her love for her own grandson.
"Have you been in the palace for half a year?" Empress Dowager suddenly asked me. I hastily straightened my expression and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Empress Dowager, chenqie entered the palace on the ninth day of the sixth month. Currently, it has already been over four months."
"This imperial costume with three colors of sapphire blue was rather simple and elegant. It seems like the embroidery did not come from the Shang Yi Bureau. But you did it yourself? " At the hem of her skirt, there were a few beautiful lilies. With the silver thread acting as a stamen, they were made of light pink and white.
I replied honestly, "Chenqie is stupid, clumsy and unfriendly. This embroidery came from the hands of slave girl Zhan Yan."
"Humph!" Empress Dowager snorted lightly, her tone calm: "Confess for now!" The Empress Dowager lightly caressed the side of Yun Long's head, and laughed: "My Long'er seems to have grown a little taller, only that she's too thin. "Tell the imperial kitchens to prepare some soup spoons and send them there every day."
The servant girl standing behind him curtsied and was extremely submissive.
"In the palace, not a single thing can be left undone. The thoughts that he should not have spent should not have moved in the slightest! Don't think that only you understand that being smart will only hurt you. In the end, they said that they would not even be able to keep their lives. "
Empress Dowager said these words that were neither salt nor light, but I didn't understand the meaning behind them. It was also suspected that, despite her seclusion in the palace, Her Majesty was in control of the affairs of the harem.
Thinking this way, his heart couldn't help but tighten. Could it be that I've left something important behind? Or is it that Her Majesty knows something that has to do with me?
The more I think about it, the more worried I become. On the surface, however, I am smiling: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your teachings.
He seemed to have thought of something. "I heard from the empress that you are adept at distinguishing between jade and stone. Whether it's transparent or not, you can easily tell the difference between the two. Even in the dynasty, carving was not a problem! "Truly a lot of effort."
As she understood that the empress dowager was praising me, she humbly replied, "Empress Dowager is exaggerating. It's nothing more than a small trick."
"To be able to discern that the jade stone in the imperial harem is not considered a skill, but to be able to discern whose heart is hard. You have to learn it! " The empress dowager thought for a bit, "Take Yun Long to kneel and rest."
"Yes sir!" Yun Long bowed and replied, "Royal Grandmother, take care. Yun Long will come back in a few days." Empress Dowager nodded her head slightly as she kindly instructed, "Take good care of yourself. Be at ease."
I also knelt down, my mind filled with the words that Her Majesty had just warned me about. Holding onto Yun Long's soft and warm little hand, he was a little absent-minded.
"Imperial Consort Shan, Confucius once said, 'A gentleman should wear a jade, there is no reason for you to not come'. Jade was a personal item. It must be Royal Grandmother's intention to warn you to be wary of those close to you. " Yun Long's mosquito-like voice was soft, as though he did not hear anything.
However, he suddenly came to his senses and came to a realization. Even the young Yun Long was able to see through me, but I was so foolish that I didn't know what it meant. "What Yun Long said was reasonable, but I was careless."
"Not really. It's just that you're too generous." With a slight tremble of his hand, he even saw through my weakness. The Forbidden Palace was like a furnace. Everyone had mastered a set of skills.
Sighing, she had to think carefully about where she should go.
