Of course, the greatest woman of all the empires of history was the Empress Dowager.
In the ancient times, it was still too early to get married and have children, so even the empress dowager who already had children and grandchildren was still considered young in Lou Zigui's eyes.
It was no wonder that they had a group of extremely beautiful princes and royalty.
"The three women of the Lou Clan, right? Come here, let This Dowager have a look. " Her Majesty waved.
The tone from the ancient times gave Lou Zigui goosebumps, but he had no choice but to move over meekly.
Right now, she felt that she really knew her limits. After transmigrating to another world, she would let her brain go bad, so it wouldn't be a problem for her to show a reaction speed that was similar to that of a slow reaction.
Otherwise, if Xi'er was not by her side, she would be a little cautious when she fought alone.
She stood obediently facing the Empress Dowager.
"Raise your head and let This Dowager see."
What are you looking at! Do you take me for an animal! Look!
In her heart, Lou Zigui really wanted to mock her, but all she could do was maintain a paralyzed appearance. She slowly patted her head, trying her best to look as empty as possible.
"He looks quite handsome." The empress dowager praised, "Stop standing, come sit by This Dowager's side."
This was not a grandmother of hers that could act like a spoiled child.
In modern times, after Lou Zigui decided not to go back to that family, she had felt an old man who made people feel respect and fear for him.
That was exactly the case with that big family clan. The first time she saw that 'granny' that she recognized, she was so scared that she almost cried.
And of course, the grandmother didn't like her very much.
Right now, this empress dowager wasn't a benevolent old man, just like the Old Master in the general's estate.
Speaking of which, she seemed to be pretty close to everyone in that family. Her brothers, sisters, or cousins were all the same.
"What are you thinking about? Why didn't This Dowager respond? "
She was startled by the sharp stare and looked up at the Empress.
Her Majesty frowned and looked displeased. The head palace maid at her side approached her and whispered a few words into her ear. Her Majesty's expression grew more and more solemn.
Although the volume of the whispers was low, they could still hear it clearly. Furthermore, Lou Zigui was walking closer to them.
So she heard words like "brain damage" and "doctor said it hadn't recovered."
It seemed like the family was afraid that she would cause some trouble, so they used this method.
The empress dowager waved the palace maid away while she scrutinized Lou Zigui.
Lou Zigui forced herself to endure the uncomfortable feeling of being stared at and looked at innocently at the empress dowager.
The empress dowager seemed to dislike it and finally avoided looking at her.
Lou Zigui didn't know what the empress dowager was thinking. She actually said she was going to keep her here to compensate the empress dowager for one day.
To chat, to eat, to walk in the garden...
Could she, could she be so embarrassed as to show that she was not happy with being a free escort?
The imperial garden was indeed worthy of its reputation. It was the same as the footage on TV. However, most of the footage on TV was just a clipping, and the beautiful scenery was only a prop.
She followed the Empress Dowager, moving slowly.
She had said that the women in the palace were definitely bored, so she decided to take a stroll around the garden to pass the time.
Although the imperial palace was considered big, it was still considered small. If one didn't have the effort to walk around the streets, he or she would have run into a "familiar face".
The Crown Prince, Baili Yu, was supposed to become the husband of the original owner.
The man that gave her to the Fifth Prince because he loathed her, this was the man that seemed to have lost when seizing power in the end.
She said that she seemed to be because she hadn't read all of her novels. Furthermore, she had skipped all of them just because she was watching emotional drama, fighting for power and so on …
When the crown prince saw the empress dowager from afar, he brought someone with him.
"Jue'er greets the Empress Dowager."
Lou Zigui took a careful step back. The crown prince didn't seem to notice, or perhaps he just treated her as an ordinary palace maid.
The empress dowager's smile was finally not stiff as she beckoned for Baili Jue to come closer. "It's rare to meet Jue'er, accompany me for a walk."
"Yes, Majesty."
He was now on the right and left side with Lou Zigui, so naturally his gaze slipped past her.
They had never met before, so the Crown Prince was not able to recognize her as a normal person. Thus, he quickly shifted his gaze away from her.
The empress dowager first asked him, "Why is the crown prince here right now?"
"Jue'er is here to pay respects to Imperial Mother."
With that, they started to chat. For example, the empress asked the empress how she was doing, and the crown prince said the empress was concerned about the empress dowager too.
Then, unavoidably, he introduced her to Lou Zigui.
A glint flashed across the crown prince's eyes as he followed the empress dowager's movements.
Lou Zigui had nowhere to run or hide, so she could only take a small step forward. The empress dowager told her to sit with them, and this time they'd face each other head on.
She already knew that it wasn't as serious as history to avoid being a couple in ancient times. If the novel was this serious, then there wouldn't be any love story.
"It's just a coincidence that you two met each other when you were young. I called the third daughter of that General Lou to accompany me today. You two have grown up unfamiliar with each other." Her Majesty talked casually.
Lou Zigui lowered her head to express how shy she was and never spoke to the crown prince!
The Crown Prince hid his emotions. He knew in his heart that his princess consort or title would be a woman arranged by the royal family, and with General Lou and the military talisman in his possession, it would be the best guarantee if General Lou supported him. Therefore, it would be better if the daughter of the Lou family married him.
With a calm mind, he began to examine Lou Zigui.
It was different from what he had heard. This woman seemed very timid.
"Third Miss Lou, I heard that you saved Ninth Imperial Uncle a second time." The Crown Prince's opening statement.
Lou Zigui thought of many things, but she would never think that the crown prince was related to her again. So now that she thought about it, it would be worth it to get close to Ninth Imperial Uncle.
At this moment, the empress dowager probably hadn't thought of pairing her with the crown prince yet, had she?
Besides, there was something wrong with her brain right now. The crown prince would not want a woman with a screw loose!
"Mm …" She didn't explain any further and just foolishly agreed.
The empress dowager and crown prince didn't look too good either.
The atmosphere was getting more and more tense.
"Fifth Prince." The voices of the servants outside the pavilion sounded out.
Lou Zigui's heart skipped a beat. She raised her head and saw that she was really going to raise her middle finger!
Was it really good to have such a tight plot? The characters in this novel all felt that they didn't have enough scenes, so they arranged things for themselves, right?
Not only did he run into the Crown Prince, he even came as a Fifth Prince to join in on the fun.
This was still okay … There was actually still Xu Zheng!
At this time, Xu Zheng had not even gotten his name, and he could already go in and out of the palace?
It was impossible to avoid her at a time like this. No matter what she did, it would be strange. She just hoped that the ancient situation really happened. After all, she was wearing a woman's outfit right now.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, Feng'er pays his respects to the Esteemed Empress Dowager." Baili Feng immediately walked over.
Xu Zheng, who was standing behind him, bowed. "This commoner, Xu Zheng, greets the empress dowager.
"Get up." The Empress Dowager answered gracefully.
Xu Zheng stood at the side.
Until now, Baili Feng had not noticed Lou Zigui. The empress dowager asked him what he was doing and he replied, "Reporting to the empress dowager, the Four Books Hall has recently participated in a written test with the other academies. Xu Zheng has come over to be kind to me and wants to add another project."
"Oh?" Her Majesty listened as if in a mood.
Lou Zigui's heart skipped a beat for no reason. She had a bad feeling about this.
Speaking of this competition, she didn't think too much about it at the time. In the novel, it was just to make the female lead shine. At that time, the female lead seemed to have been sent to school, so she was now in a bit of a mess.
If that was the case, she remembered that the written test had lasted for a very long time, to the point that even the people in the palace knew about it.
In fact, every year, there would even be people from the Imperial Palace, or even princes, who would watch from the sidelines.
It was also why the students paid so much attention to him. It was because he had won the written test in the academy or had performed so brilliantly. He should be able to be of great help to his future career.
She was upset.
Now that he thought about it, he shouldn't have been so strong back then.
However, she also didn't expect that he would be summoned by the empress dowager. She also didn't expect that these male mating would all use this method to meet her at such a time.
Don't see me, don't see me! She prayed with her heart.
As long as Xu Zheng did not recognize her, then everything would be fine!
However …
"This is a proposal from a student who heard Xu Zheng's competition. It concerns archery, the Heavenly Queen will find it interesting if she sees it." Baili Feng reported as if he was reporting something, "If this event is added, then it will definitely become a fixed competition event in the future. However, Xu Zheng said that he still has a lot of details he isn't clear about, so he asked me to come and discuss it with him.
"Yes." The Heavenly Queen listened, "Listening to Feng'er's words, it's quite interesting. However, why can't we find that person?"
"That's right!" Baili Feng replied, "There's no harm if it's not enough. That person was brought over by Lou Zuo General, so Xu Zheng asked for it from me so he could explain it to him."
Lou Xinyue thought to herself, This is bad.
Sure enough, what he feared came true!
This Xu Zheng, he must have done it on purpose!
It was because he could not find the person that he came up with this idea!
She was in a hurry, but when the crown prince heard it, he smiled and said, "Oh, that's just a coincidence. Third Miss Lou is right here, let me ask you about it!"
Finally …
All eyes fell on Lou Zigui who could not wait to become invisible.
