wedding dress

Chapter 41
The Empress Dowager Shengci's craftsmanship is indeed very good, since it can be appreciated by the first emperor, it is by no means an ordinary level.She made two dishes, one was steamed tofu and the other was minced chicken and cabbage.The two dishes were surprisingly light and delicious, and Xiaodong was delighted to eat them.The Empress Dowager Shengci didn't take a few mouthfuls of food herself, she just watched her eat.

"Empress Dowager, you can eat too."

Empress Dowager Shengci smiled and touched her face: "Can I have another bowl of soup?"

Xiaodong wiped her mouth: "I can't eat anymore."

She lifted up a small corner of her shirt to let the Empress Dowager Shengci see her bulging belly like a small watermelon.

"My stomach is enjoying itself today."

The Empress Dowager Shengci hurriedly pulled down her clothes: "Don't catch a cold. If you are full, go to the back for a while to recuperate. I will call you later, so I can't miss your class."

"Don't sleep anymore." Xiaodong was sitting next to the Empress Dowager Shengci, it was raining outside, and the Changchun Palace also seemed deserted.The Empress Dowager Shengci embraced her, rubbing her stomach lightly with light hands, making Xiaodong so comfortable, she lay down like a lazy cat, wishing she could hum a few times to show her satisfaction.

"What class is this afternoon?"

Xiaodong said, "I heard that there are piano lessons."

The Empress Dowager Shengci nodded: "Well, then tomorrow is chess, the day after tomorrow is painting, and the day after tomorrow is a vacation. The internal school is a three-day break... Ou Lanying taught the piano class, right?"

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Au is very strict."

"Be more strict and reconcile. Originally, this school is loose enough. If she is not stricter, no one will take care of her." The voice of the Empress Dowager Shengci did not sound as indifferent as when Xiaodong saw her for the first time, and talked to her again. Soft and kind: "Did you bring your own piano?"

"No, I don't even know what class I have today."

The Empress Dowager Shengci thought for a while, and then ordered: "I remember that I still have a few zithers, and it's useless to leave them for nothing. You can bring someone to look for them and give them to the Princess."

Xiaodong muttered: "No need... I don't know how to play, it's a waste of good things."

He said he didn't sleep, but he was full after eating, and being rubbed and caressed like this, Xiaodong squinted for some reason, and slept soundly.The maid at the side came over and wanted to hug her away, but the Empress Dowager Shengci refused to let her go.Then he softly ordered someone to bring the bed gauze and quilt, and lightly put it on her body.

"The princess is so nice, sensible and kind." The maid said from the side: "I think the little princess is quite smart."

The Empress Dowager Shengci shook her head, and said softly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you are smart or not. Sometimes people are born too smart, and life is not comfortable. I just think... I hit it off with this child."

The person looking for the qin came back after a while, and brought three Yaoqin.

Xiaodong rubbed his eyes and yawned.

The Empress Dowager Shengci said softly: "It's almost time, wash your face and refresh your mind. Come, have a look at these pianos, which one do you like?"

Xiaodong was so embarrassed that she fell asleep with her pillow on the Empress Dowager's lap, but luckily she didn't drool, otherwise it would be even more impolite.

The maid opened the piano box and let Xiaodong choose.

The three zithers lay quietly in the box, even though Xiao Dong was a pure layman, he could tell that each of these zithers was not ordinary.The one in the middle is crystal clear and jade-white, with strings like ice silk. It is a jade qin.

"I don't want it." Xiaodong shook his head and waved his hands: "I don't know how to play the piano. Besides, Sixth Sister said that there is a piano in the piano room."

The Empress Dowager Shengci thought for a while: "Okay. After you learn it, I will take care of it."

Xiaodong was a little curious: "The Empress Dowager can play the piano?"

Empress Dowager Shengci only said: "I touched it when I was young, but after I haven't touched it for a long time, it became neglected."

Xiaodong was amazed.Not only is she a beautiful woman, she is also intelligent and talented, and she is also a female celebrity, and she also cooks well.Such a holy empress dowager, no wonder the former emperor favored her so much.

Empress Dowager Shengci combed her hair with her own hands, and sent someone to send her back to Jiyutang.

Both Shen Qiang and Shen Fang's eyes were red, the two sisters were sitting together, not knowing what Shen Fang was talking about, Shen Qiang was obediently bowing her head and listening.When Xiaodong came into the room, the two of them hurriedly stood up.

Shen Qiang's handkerchief was almost twisted into rotten leaves, Shen Fang was alright, she cried when she saw it, but it didn't look too much.

Xiaodong took a look: "Huh? Where's Sister Yao?"

Yao Jinfeng didn't go with her, why is she nowhere to be seen now?
Shen Qiang groaned, "We've been chatting, but we don't know when she left. I'll go out and look for her."

Shen Fang held her hand: "It's still raining, she must not be able to go far."

While talking, Yao Jinfeng came in from outside.There were thin raindrops on her shoulders and head, obviously she had gone out.

Shen Qiang asked her: "It's raining outside, where have you been?"

"Huh? I'll give you a place to let your sisters talk properly." Yao Jinfeng brushed the raindrops on the sleeves on her shoulders, her face was also covered with rain, her powder puff was tender, and she looked extraordinarily bright and beautiful: "I Go outside for a walk—the palace is really big."

Shen Fang hurriedly said: "We were patronizing and talking, but we forgot about you. But the palace is no different than other places. There are strict rules and taboos, so you can't wander around."

Yao Jinfeng didn't care, and waved his hand: "I know, I didn't go anywhere else."

Xiaodong was originally shorter than the others, so when he glanced down, he saw that Yao Jinfeng's shoes were covered with mud and grass blades.

She ran outside?

Xiaodong didn't press on.

As long as nothing happens.

Although... Although in the novels she has read before, the beautiful women wandering around in the palace usually have something to do, whether they meet the emperor or the prince. A handsome and handsome guard, and then... so and so...

Yao Jinfeng is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman among beauties. From the reaction of the Luo family brothers, it can be seen that the resistance of young men to her is really not high——

Xiaodong suddenly thought of a possibility!
The Yao family sent such a beautiful and lively Yao Jinfeng to the capital, did they really come to be her companion?Isn't it just the idea of ​​letting her marry into the palace?
My father An Wang must also know that she can't settle down, but he has no intention of sending this trouble back to his hometown...

The more Xiaodong thought about it, the more he felt that what he thought was reasonable, but after thinking about it again, it was not right.

Yao Jinfeng's appearance is beautiful enough, but her personality is really not suitable for entering the palace.To survive in the palace, beauty alone is not enough.

Xiaodong doesn't embarrass himself about things he can't figure out. He has to find out the root cause.I just decided to follow closely in the future, so that Yao Jinfeng would not have the chance to wander around and cause trouble again.

As she thought so, she watched Shen Qiang busy washing her face and combing her hair.And Yao Jinfeng was sitting in front of the window, half-body looking out of the window.There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were bright, and her cheeks were peachy pink.

She is like the most delicate and beautiful flower on the branch, just waiting to bloom.
