Chapter 37
Peace Palace

The empress dowager's living room is resplendent with gold and jade. A crane incense burner is placed in the center of the hall, and the maidservants on both sides walk around the palace lightly.

Aunt Heng's face is round, her skin is white and jade-like, her nose and lips are well-shaped and slender, perhaps because she has been with the Empress Dowager for many years, when she is silent, she has a majesty that cannot be ignored.

Aunt Heng led Yun Xie and Yun Shuo into the Anning Palace, then motioned them to stand there, and then she went in and asked the Queen Mother to come out.

Standing in the hall, Yun Xie just stood with his head down, while Yun Shuo looked around with a surprised expression on his face.Yun Xie couldn't help closing his eyes when he heard the second brother's gasp, he really was a boy who had never seen the world.

Are not all palaces like this?

He is magnificent and luxurious, but in fact it is only good-looking on the surface. There are many cannibals in this palace!
If you ask her, she definitely doesn't want to live in the inner courtyard of the palace in this life. She doesn't want to die young, and fight to the death with those thoughtful women every day!

Yun Xie said in a low voice: "Second brother, restrain your tricks, this is the palace, not our palace, don't look around, lest you offend some nobleman and don't know it!"

"yes, Sir."

Hearing what he said, Yun Shuo was a little dissatisfied, but it was indeed his first time entering the palace, and it was not good to really offend people, so he could only nod his head and agree.

In the bedroom, separated by a curtain, the Empress Dowager looked at the two people outside and couldn't help frowning, "Heng Gu, what's going on?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, when the servants went to invite the Eldest Son today, the Elder Son asked to bring the Second Young Master who had brought the Prince Yun's Mansion into the palace to greet the Empress Dowager."

Aunt Heng replied calmly.

The empress dowager's broad forehead is very high, and there are several forehead lines that symbolize wisdom. The foundation makeup makes her look exquisite, glamorous and generous.She wears a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, and a ruby ​​is inlaid with tassels, just in the middle of her forehead, making her look even more luxurious.

"A mere bastard, you also want to enter the palace to meet Ai's family?"

The queen mother treated each other coldly and didn't like Yun Shuo. For those who met without invitation, which one had no selfishness?
After many years in the palace, who has the queen mother never seen?
With just one glance, you can tell that the bastard is asking for something!
Instead, Aunt Heng ignored what the Empress Dowager said, and reminded softly: "Empress Dowager, you should go out and see the Shi Ziye, he is not in good health, so it is not good to keep him waiting for a long time."

"Walk."

The Empress Dowager supported Aunt Heng's elbow, and Aunt Heng lifted the curtain and said loudly, "The Empress Dowager is here!"

Yun Xie didn't raise his head, just knelt down on the ground, and then said respectfully and loudly: "Yun Xie pays respects to the Empress Dowager!"

With her action, Yun Shuo, who has good eyesight, naturally followed suit, but after all, he was still half a beat behind.

The two knelt on the ground, not daring to lift their heads, until the Queen Mother sat on the phoenix seat, and then quietly said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

Yun Xie and Yun Shuo said in unison.

The Queen Mother continued, "Both of you, raise your heads up."

"Yes."

After the two looked up, Yunxie realized that the queen mother looked very young, she seemed to be a woman in her thirties.If it weren't for the silver hair on her head, it would be unbelievable that the Empress Dowager is in her fifties!
The Empress Dowager was dressed in a gold-thread moonflower cotton dress, a silver fox gauze dress with a stone blue bottom, and pink-orange crescent moon shoes embroidered with plum blossoms. She was elegant and beautiful.
