Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 164

Empress Dowager Zhou said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late, let Miss Fang go out of the palace. In summer time, you go see it off."

Xia Shi led Fang Yuanzhi out of Qingning Palace.

Fang Yuanzhi was very polite to Xia Shi: "Thank you Eunuch Xia for escorting, it's freezing cold, Eunuch would just send a servant to lead the way, and Eunuch will always be there for the Empress Dowager."

Xia Shi was very satisfied with Fang Yuanzhi's knowledge and interest, nodded slightly, and sent Fang Yuanzhi to the north corridor, before ordering the two servants who followed him: "It's good to serve Miss Fang out of the palace, if something goes wrong, Be careful that our family peels your skin!"

Fang Yuanzhi was a little startled, wondering if Xia Shi's words meant something about himself, he saluted politely, and followed the little servant to the west.

According to the road pointed by Xia Shi, go west and you will arrive at Shenwumen, the north gate of the imperial palace.

After leaving the palace gate, his own carriage is waiting outside the palace, so it is considered safe.

The little servant sent Fang Yuanzhi to the gate of Shenwu Gate, and was about to salute and say goodbye, but saw a majestic nanny walking over with a maid of honor.

"Miss Fang Family? The Empress Dowager Ci Yi summoned you, please come with your slaves."

Fang Yuanzhi screamed inwardly!Empress Dowager Ciyi seems to be Zhu Jianshen's aunt, Empress Dowager Qian.

Empress Dowager Qian was able to stand upright after the death of the first emperor, and with her back to the British government, she must have some means.The nuns around her are all so majestic, and they are probably not easy to get along with.

She looked at the two little servants who sent her out of the palace as if asking for help, but the little servants seemed to be very afraid of the nanny, and they lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Nanny looked Fang Yuanzhi coldly up and down.

Fang Yuanzhi only felt cold all over his body, and he seemed unable to move.

She glanced resentfully at the Shenwumen, which was close at hand, and said obediently: "Yes. What is the name of the mother?"

"The maidservant's surname is Chen, and the young lady can just call her Nanny Chen."

"Yes, I'm going to thank Madam Chen to lead the way."

Fang Yuanzhi followed Nanny Chen all the way forward.This time she roughly figured out the direction, and it seemed that she had been heading south, walked through the long corridor with red walls, passed through several doors, and headed west again.

Finally, I arrived at the gate of a palace with a plaque hanging on it as "Ren Shou Palace".

At this time, the sky was getting dark, Renshou Palace was brightly lit, and there were some maids and servants standing in the courtyard. There were a lot of people, but they didn't even hear a cough.

Fang Yuanzhi had to lament the strict rules in the palace.

Nanny Chen led Fang Yuanzhi to hide in an inconspicuous corner behind the crowd.

Fang Yuanzhi glanced at Nanny Chen who was standing upright but slightly lowered her head to show respect, and followed her example to stand quietly.

Nanny Chen glanced at Fang Yuanzhi, and there was a flash of approval in her eyes.

Not long after, Fang Yuanzhi saw several teenagers of different heights coming out of the main hall, all dressed in golden python robes. The leader of the teenagers looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he said hello to Nanny Chen in the corner, with a tone of voice Very friendly:
"How is Nanny Chen?"

Nanny Chen bowed her knees and saluted: "His Highness King Xiu is blessed, His Royal Highness King Ji is blessed, His Royal Highness Xin is blessed, and His Royal Highness Hui is blessed. I wish all your Highnesses good luck for the new year."

Fang Yuanzhi saw that the court ladies who followed Nanny Chen also bowed their knees, and she followed suit.

Fang Yuanzhi felt that eyes were on her, and she lowered her head obediently, without saying a word.

"Who is this?"

"This is the niece of Empress Dowager Zhou's natal family. Empress Dowager Ciyi wants to see her. It's dark and the road is slippery, so the princes will walk slowly."

His Royal Highness Prince Xiu didn't speak any more, and left with the other princes and his servants without mentioning it.

From the corner of Fang Yuanzhi's eyes, he could see that the youngest Prince Hui was only five or six years old, and he looked like a baby.

Perhaps because of his young age, he still had a bit of innocence and was small in stature. Prince Hui raised his head and looked at Fang Yuanzhi curiously, meeting Fang Yuanzhi who was looking down at him.

Seeing that he was about the same age as her younger brother, Fang Yuanzhi smiled at him.

Prince Hui also replied with a bright smile, and left holding the servant's hand.

There is a lot of space in the yard.

Fang Yuanzhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Prince Hui can still laugh when he sees Queen Mother Qian, it seems that Queen Mother Qian is not very scary.

She thought about it again, her Fang family had always had a good relationship with the British government, and since Empress Dowager Qian and the British government belonged to the same force, she shouldn't make things difficult for herself.

Just as he was thinking, a few more people came out of the main hall.

She quickly bowed her head and stood up.

The footsteps approached, and a young and dignified female voice said: "Madam Chen is well, this New Year's Eve, Madam has worked hard to serve the queen mother."

"The queen is auspicious. Serving the queen mother is a servant's duty, so I dare not say it is hard work. Send the queen mother off respectfully." Chen Nanny saluted and replied respectfully, but she was neither humble nor overbearing.

Fang Yuanzhi followed and saluted, but shouted in his heart: "What kind of luck is this, why did I suddenly enter the palace, and even the empress can bump into me?!"

The queen just smiled faintly and helped the maid to leave.

After another half hour, after a group of maids and servants came in and out holding tea cups, the maid came out to say hello: "Miss Fang, please come in."

When Fang Yuanzhi entered the room, he immediately felt a rush of heat.

She raised her head slightly and saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the tall seat, she didn't dare to look too much, she came to the hall and knelt down: "Fang Yuanzhi pays homage to Empress Dowager Ciyi, wishing her good fortune and peace, a thousand years and a thousand years age."

"That's all." A slightly tired and hoarse middle-aged female voice came from the seat above.

Fang Yuanzhi didn't dare to move.

After another half hour, my knees were about to hurt, and I heard a middle-aged female voice say: "Why are you still kneeling? Get up and sit down." The voice was a little lazy.

Fang Yuanzhi still only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, straightened his back, lowered his head slightly, and tried to show a respectful and sincere look.

Thinking that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are quite a few people here to congratulate the Empress Dowager Qian, and they must be exhausted after a day.

It is estimated that Empress Dowager Qian is a little out of energy at the moment, if she doesn't deal with it properly and arouses jealousy, she may be unable to eat and walk around.

She also felt a few probing eyes that kept looking at her.

After a while, Fang Yuanzhi heard a sneer: "He is honest and responsible, and it is different from the rumors."

Fang Yuanzhi's heart tightened.I didn't know whether to answer or not, so I simply shut up.

I only heard Nanny Chen say: "The slaves are also a little surprised. In this world, there are not many people who dare to behave wildly at the gate of the Huichang Marquis Mansion. They dare to shoot arrows at the plaque of the Huichang Marquis Mansion. The slaves admire this courage. No I thought she was such a delicate and soft young lady."

Fang Yuanzhi sweated profusely.

Can I still get along with Jiaojiaorourou?It seems that his appearance is still too deceptive.

"Girl of the Fang family, why did you make such a fuss in Huichanghou's mansion? Tell the Ai family about it."

After Fang Yuanzhi stood up and saluted, he explained the cause and effect in detail.

"It wasn't because of my daughter's audacity, she really had no choice but to fight back fiercely, I'm afraid she would have become a bone at this time."
