Chapter 53 The Empress Dowager Summons
"Is there someone accompanying the princess? How will the princess go?" Hong Li couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, Eldest Young Master and Qinghua are here." Xie Yunyan glanced at Hongli, signaling her to be at ease.

"That's good!" Hearing this sentence, Hongli heaved a sigh of relief.

"During my absence, if anyone comes, just say that I will go back to the prime minister's residence for a few days."

"Yes! Hongli understands."

"Princess, are you there?" At this time, the old manager of the mansion hurriedly walked towards the south courtyard.

Xie Yunyan heard the voice in the courtyard, and walked out of the house.

"This old slave pays my respects to the concubine!" The boss gave a respectful salute to Xie Yunyan.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with me?" Xie Yunyan asked.

"Wangfei, the aunt next to the empress dowager came to send a letter, saying that she is announcing you to enter the palace to accompany the empress dowager to enjoy the flowers."

"What? Blossom viewing? Now?"

"Yes, that's how the aunt next to the Empress Dowager passed on the message, and the old slave also passed on the original words."

Xie Yunyan was slightly taken aback, remembering the hunting in the paddock a few days ago.

The empress dowager must have known about Xie Shuangshuang's incident that day, and she is probably going to investigate the matter thoroughly from her.

After all, Xie Shuangshuang is the queen mother's cousin, and Xie Shuangshuang has always been stalking her, and when she wakes up, she will definitely go to the queen mother to report her.

It's just that it's getting late now, calling her into the palace at this point is probably a
Xie Yunyan felt a bad feeling in her heart.

"Princess, it's getting dark. It's definitely not safe for the Empress Dowager to call you into the palace. The servants will go with you." Hongli said quickly.

"Princess, the empress dowager only calls you to go alone, the carriage in the palace is already waiting outside."

Xie Yunyan knew in her heart that she might have ulterior motives for calling her into the palace to enjoy the flowers this time.

"Hong Li, if people from the Prime Minister's Mansion come later, just say that I won't be coming back tonight, and it's okay to leave tomorrow."

Qing Hua will soon come to pick her up and leave, but she might not be able to leave now, she has no choice but to enter the palace, Hongli understands her very well, and knows what she really wants to express. "

Hongli understood in her heart, but she still nodded: "Princess, don't worry, if the eldest son's carriage arrives, this servant will convey your words to the place!"

Xie Yunyan nodded slightly, looked at the manager and said, "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he followed the old manager and left the yard.

After getting into the carriage, Xie Yunyan watched the blazing sunset slowly set in the sky, and then lowered the curtain. The last time she rode in the carriage, she entered the palace with that man.

In her mind, Huo Qichen's figure suddenly appeared.

Huo Qichen.

prince
In an instant, a familiar face jumped into her heart, and Xie Yunyan was startled.

Does she miss Huo Qichen?
No way, why would she think of him?

Quickly suppressing this weird thought, Xie Yunyan let out a long breath, and then began to rest.

This guy is really annoying.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Yu is here." Hearing the words of the maidservants, the nurse next to the Empress Dowager said to the Empress Dowager who was resting.

"Really? Help Ai get up." The Empress Dowager raised her eyes to look at the servant girl below, raised her brush slightly, and her posture was a little lazy.

"As you order, Empress Dowager."

At this moment, Xie Yunyan came out from the hall.

"My daughter-in-law pays respects to the Empress Dowager." Seeing the Empress Dowager, Xie Yunyan immediately lowered her head and bowed to the noble lady in the first seat.

"Well, get up." Her tone was very gentle, without any emotional fluctuations, but there was an undeniable strength.

The empress dowager has always been ruthless, no matter whether the former emperor was still alive or the favor was still undiminished, she used her own means to get from a concubine to the empress position, there must be hidden secrets behind it.

After all, such a woman is often a scheming person.

Xie Yunyan narrowed her eyes and slowly got up.

"I haven't seen you for a while, is Yunyan okay?" With the support of the palace maid, the Empress Dowager walked towards Xie Yunyan step by step.

Xie Yunyan raised her head and looked into her eyes: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, everything is fine with my granddaughter-in-law."

"Well, but some people are not good."

As soon as Xie Yunyan finished speaking, the empress dowager spoke, and looked at Xie Yunyan with some unknown emotions.

"What does the Empress Dowager mean by this?" Xie Yunyan vaguely guessed, but did not say it clearly.

"Shuangshuang, Shuang has not been doing well recently. A few days ago, Shuangshuang went hunting in the paddock with you, and then went to the flower garden with you, and then some strange things happened." The empress dowager was amiable and calm. Said to Xie Yunyan.

"It turned out to be this matter. That's right. My grandson also saw it that day. Shuangshuang didn't know why she was about to bump into a big tree out of control." Xie Yunyan didn't panic at all, her voice was very calm, even She is calmer than the empress dowager.

"Yunyan, Ai's family heard Shuangshuang say that there was only you and her in the flower garden that day, so you are sure nothing happened?" The Empress Dowager looked at Xie Yunyan, and the meaning behind her words was self-evident.

What she was waiting for was Xie Yunyan's confession.

"Empress Dowager, Yunyan really didn't see anyone other than grandson-in-law and Sister Shuangshuang." Xie Yunyan also showed that she knew nothing about this matter!She did nothing at all!
"Well, since that's the case, the Ai family doesn't ask any more questions. Why don't you follow the Ai family to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden?" The empress dowager said, winking at the maid beside her, who also tactfully stepped forward to help her.

"Empress Dowager, please be careful." Xie Yunyan also walked out.

Walking along the gravel path to the Imperial Garden, Xie Yunyan looked at the tuberose in the yard and felt a lot more comfortable.

These tuberoses are extremely similar to those planted by her father in the prime minister's mansion. Her father once told her that her mother's favorite is tuberose, so every time she sees these tuberose flowers, she will think of her mother.

Seeing this piece of tuberose in full bloom now, Xie Yunyan couldn't help thinking of when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Are you very interested in Tuberose?" The Empress Dowager asked curiously as if she saw a gleam in Xie Yunyan's eyes.

"Yes, my father planted a lot of tuberose flowers in the courtyard before he left the cabinet."

"Yes, you little girls love such beautiful flowers." The empress dowager nodded slightly.

After finishing speaking, the empress dowager laughed again: "It's just that the Ai family didn't know that your father would also like tuberose, which is a little surprising."

"Yes, the reason why my father planted tuberose was because he missed his mother"

"Hey, the Ai family didn't expect Prime Minister Xie to be so infatuated." The Empress Dowager sighed quietly.

The two came to the center of the imperial garden.

"Then do you have any favorite flowers?"

"I like orchids more on weekdays." Xie Yunyan said nonsense.

"Really? Orchid? This flower is unique, and it suits your gentle and kind temperament." The Empress Dowager nodded again and smiled.

Along the way, Xie Yunyan was answering questions about the Empress Dowager's culture. Xie Yunyan felt a little more relaxed. Nothing seemed to have happened along the way, and the conversation went smoothly. Could it be that she was worrying too much?
"Empress Dowager, Miss Xie said she wanted to see you, but she didn't see you when she entered your hall, so I asked the servants to see if you are here." As soon as he saw the Empress Dowager, a servant girl came up and saluted said afterwards.

"Shuangshuang is here?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows lightly: "This little girl is not resting in the mansion, but just wandering around. It really doesn't make Ai's family worry."

Although she said so, Xie Yunyan could still see her doting and love for Xie Shuangshuang from her eyes.
