This palace comes from the general's mansion

Chapter 104
The banquet was held relatively late, and Empress Dowager Wen had just asked the little maid beside her to take off her makeup and was about to rest, when she heard that the eldest princess Dongli Jingruo had come.

Empress Dowager Wen waved her hand, signaling the little maid to put on her makeup again.

She usually wears makeup on her face, and she can see the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes from the bronze mirror, but once the makeup is removed, her face is even more unreadable.

Thinking of Dong Li Jingruo seen at today's banquet, she is obviously about the same age as her, but there is no trace of age.

This woman is really lucky.

Empress Dowager Wen felt anxious, her body trembled, and the hand of the little palace maid who was pulling her hair tightened uncontrollably, which made Empress Dowager Wen's scalp numb for a while.

The little maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees and said repeatedly: "The Empress Dowager, please forgive me, the Empress Dowager, please forgive me."

Nanny Li knew at a glance that the little palace maid combed her hair and hurt the queen mother, she didn't wait for the queen mother to speak, and slapped the little palace maid on the face.

"How to do things, careless."

The little palace maid knelt there trembling, she had just been brought up to serve the empress dowager close by, she was already trembling like walking on thin ice, and now she made such a mistake again, I'm afraid, her life might be lost.

Empress Dowager Wen waved her hand: "Forget it, she also has no intentions."

"continue."

Only then did the little palace maid tremblingly stand up and continue to comb the Queen Mother's hair.

This time, he was more cautious, not even daring to touch the scalp with the comb.

Empress Dowager Wen closed her eyes and fell asleep for a while, and when she combed her hair, she also woke up and dozed off.

Glancing at the hourglass next to him, a long time has passed.

This eldest princess, I don't know if I am in a hurry.

With a weird smile on the corner of Empress Dowager Wen's mouth, Nanny Li helped her out of the bedroom.

Dongli Jingruo had already drank two cups of tea, and Queen Mother Wen hadn't come out yet, so she just sat there and waited quietly without being impatient.

After so many years outside, she has not learned anything else, but this one patience, which has been practiced perfectly.

When Empress Dowager Wen came out, she thought that she would see Dongli Jingruo in a panic, but unexpectedly, Dongli Jingruo sat there drinking tea calmly.

"The eldest princess has been waiting for a long time." Queen Mother Wen said with a gentle face.

Dong Li Jingruo put down the teacup, and responded with a smile: "It's really not right to bother the Empress Dowager so late. It's because I haven't seen you for so many years, and there are not many old people in this palace. It's a bit boring for a while."

The corners of Queen Mother Wen's mouth twitched slightly. It's none of my business if you're bored. If you can't sleep well if you're bored, why don't you let me sleep well?

I complained in my heart, but there was still a gentle and decent smile on my mouth.

"Will the eldest princess come back this time?"

Queen Mother Wen asked with concern.

Dong Li Jingruo took a sip of the tea, the tea in Empress Dowager Wen's palace was still delicious as always.

She wondered, how could the Empress Dowager Yiwen, who came out of a small family, enjoy life so much?

"It depends on the situation. Maybe, when the interest comes, I will go out for a walk."

Dong Lijingruo will not be fooled by Queen Mother Wen, she knows in her heart that Queen Mother Wen is trying to trick her?
"After decades of separation, we are all old." Empress Dowager Wen was quite emotional, "Did you meet someone you like outside after all these years?"

Dongli Jingruo glanced at Empress Dowager Wen, and that glance seemed to contain too many emotions, and Empress Dowager Wen knew her eyes too well.

"If the Empress Dowager hadn't strongly supported the late emperor's proposal back then, perhaps Dong Li Jingruo would already be full of children and grandchildren."

This resentment has not been relieved until now.

Empress Dowager Wen didn't feel embarrassed at all, instead she felt that she had done a good deed.

"Looking at it now, when the late emperor didn't agree with your marriage with General Shen Motian, that was a foresight. The eldest princess has just returned to the capital, and she should have heard about the general's mansion."

Dong Li Jingruo said "Yes": "The late emperor indeed had foresight. If it wasn't for returning to the capital this time and hearing about this matter, I would have thought that the Queen Mother was jealous of me?"

After saying this, Empress Dowager Wen felt embarrassed.

She only felt that her face was hot and uncomfortable.

Back then, the eldest princess Dongli Jingruo had a close relationship with Shen Motian. After all, Shen Motian had helped her. To be precise, Shen Motian had saved the eldest princess' life.

The eldest princess secretly promised that Empress Dowager Wen, who had already entered the palace at that time, also secretly fell in love with Shen Motian, but she was helpless, Mo Motian was a major general, young and promising, and handsome, but she was just a girl in the harem. Unfavorable concubine.

At that time, when she first met Shen Motian, she really wanted to leave the palace with Shen Motian desperately.

But who knows, Shen Motian justly refused her and even humiliated her.

Empress Dowager Wen was in a hurry, and vowed that she would not get the happiness she wanted in silence, so she discussed with Wen Taihe and climbed up step by step.

When she knew that Dongli Jingruo was interested in Shen Motian, and Mo Motian also had a good impression of Dongli Jingruo, she frequently blew the pillow wind in front of the first emperor.

It doesn't mean that Dongli will lose a strong general by silencing Princess Tianshang. In the future, no one can replace Dongli's defense. That is to say, the Shen family itself has a high voice in the court. Take away the thousands of miles of land from Dongli.

The former emperor was already a little dizzy, and after hearing what Queen Mother Wen said, he couldn't tell right from wrong for a while, but he didn't want Shen Motian and Dong Li Jingruo to be together.

As for the reason, perhaps only the first emperor himself knows.

The two sisters-in-law fell in love with the same man at the same time, which was unheard of before.

The eldest princess is okay, Yunying is not married yet.

Empress Dowager Wen is different, she is already the emperor's concubine, and she is married, but she still misses the young general.

If this matter gets out, it will be laughed out of the mouth, and it will be imprisoned by the former emperor, or even given death by a white silk.

Later, there came the news that Shen Motian was about to get married.

For this reason, Empress Dowager Wen was very negative for a while.

As for Dongli Jingruo, she left without saying goodbye, not knowing where she went.

Therefore, when the time is right, Empress Dowager Wen must never let Shen Tiantian live again.

Not only Shen Motian, as long as it is a member of the Shen family, no one can be let go.

Not only to cover up the scandal of being rejected back then, but also because of the imbalance in my heart.

"The eldest princess is getting better at telling jokes."

Back then, Empress Dowager Wen and the eldest princess were in the same situation.

Dong Li Jingruo: "After I came back, I heard that there was a Yun Zhaoyi in the palace, who looked good and had a good figure. I didn't know which one was her when I came here for the first time. I don't know if the queen mother can remember, but Yun Zhaoyi Which table is sitting at the palace banquet, I will change it tomorrow so that I can get acquainted with it."

This Dongli is quiet, her feelings are aimed at Shen Yunyan.

Mrs. Wen did not change her face from behind: "That Yun Zhaoyi made a big mistake, the emperor asked her to leave the palace temporarily to think about it."

"That's a pity."

Dong Li felt regretful: "I still want to make some friends with you."
