First Empress Merchant

Chapter 293 It Was Always You (2)
"This... I really don't have time to explain it to you, so please forgive me..." Ah Zhong was very tight, but he was just about to force her to go, who would have never touched her hand? Lu Lishi heard a clear female voice coming from the courtyard.

"Excuse me, is Miss Lu's family in the house?"

Following the appearance of this never-before-heard voice, both Wu Changqing and Li Yi subconsciously looked at Lu Lishi, and Lu Lishi subconsciously looked at Ah Zhong. She saw Ah Zhong clenched his fists and scolded in a low voice. "Damn it", she couldn't help but frowned, but when she was still thinking about who it was and why Ah Zhong was like this, someone outside called her again, but she had no choice but to stand up and face Ah Zhong. away.

After leaving the study, Lu Lishi walked towards the woman while carefully observing her appearance and clothes.

The woman's facial features are very pretty, but the fine lines at the end of the eyes, the slightly loose eyelids, and the ponytail clearly show that she is at least 35 to 40 years old, and look at her clothes Thanks to Lu Lishi's research on this aspect in that life, she could tell at a glance that it was a typical court maid's costume, but her clothes, no matter in terms of color and texture, were much more beautiful and delicate than ordinary ones.

To sum it up, Lu Lishi came to the conclusion that this woman is a very high-class maid, and at the same time, there is only one kind of person who can appear here and enter her house at will, and that is the people from Prince Yang's Mansion.

"I don't know why this aunt is looking for me?" Regardless of the other party's grade, as far as Lu Lishi is concerned, she is the eighth princess of Wu Yila, so naturally she has no reason to salute a maid, let alone do that, so until After speaking, she stood there straight without any stage fright.

The maid was a little surprised by her aura, hesitated again and again, and finally curtseyed to her first, "So this is Miss Lu, the slave Zi'e, who used to be a maid in the palace, but now is the maid in charge of Prince Yang's mansion. The maidservant came here today for no other reason, and I would like to ask Miss Lu to follow the maidservant to the gate to meet the Empress Dowager."

Lu Lishi looked at the arrogant maid in front of her and smiled slightly, "Please, Aunt Zi'e."

It turned out that it was promoted from the second rank to the first rank, no wonder it was so dragging, but do we need to emphasize it so much?Is it to show that she is the winner of the palace fight?If you want to play with her to death, it's like playing with an ant?But so what, she doesn't enter the palace, nor does she enter the Prince Yang's mansion, no matter how much she flaunts her might, what can she do?funny!

Of course, the funniest thing is the empress dowager who she has never seen before, but who wants to kill her, who came so grandly... and look at Ah Zhong's reaction, heh, nine out of ten it is because the visitor is not kind Yes, but so what?She wants to come here, she has nothing to say, but she wants to face her opponent in the open, I'm sorry, don't even think about it!

Seemingly suffocated by Lu Lishi, Zi'e was speechless all the way, when she went out, and then saw the 20-person sedan chair carried by the Empress Dowager, she didn't even say hello to Lu Lishi, and just left past.

Lu Lishi didn't care either, she lightly lifted the hem of her skirt and led the crowd to kneel down, "Minister Lu Lishi, bring your family to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, your empress is blessed and safe."

She doesn't need to kneel to Zi'e, she doesn't need to kneel to the first-rank prime minister, she doesn't even need to kneel to Zhou Yang, but she has to kneel to this one. The emperor's concubine.

"My lady, your tea is ready."

"Ah."

The dialogue from the sedan chair rang out almost a stick of incense after Lu Lishi and the others knelt on the ground, and then fell silent again.

Lu Lishi continued to kneel, without the slightest bit of impatience, let alone the slightest panic, just kneeling so bored, so bored that she even suspected that she wanted to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but the luxurious and thick curtain on the sedan chair was finally lifted slowly, and I don't know how long it took, and a voice with a smile came, "Raise your head and let me have a look. "

Lu Lishi sighed silently. She really wanted to complain that she was not an orangutan monkey in the zoo, so let me watch it, but with the attitude of being serious and losing, she still raised her head according to her words.

After a while, the Empress Dowager seemed to have had enough of looking at it, so she smiled again: "Look at this little face, it's really outstanding."

"Thank you, Ma'am, for your compliment." Lu Lishi responded indifferently.

It's not that she is conceited about her appearance. This is definitely the most standard answer in international social etiquette. When being praised by others, just say thank you and it's over. If you want to say "Where is there" politely, it will make people think you are too hypocritical.

Maybe it was amused by her answer, or maybe it was because she found a novel plaything, the concubine "watched" her for a long time before she said again: "I came here today for two things, one is to see What does the woman who makes Yang'er fascinated look like? Looking at it now, she is indeed quite pretty. It is normal for Yang'er to be like this at the age of youthful vigor. Second, I have something to give Here you go, I'm sure you'll be very happy when you see something like this."

As soon as her words fell, Zi'e handed something similar to a letter to Lu Lishi blankly.

Lu Lishi was not too polite, took the things and unfolded them to look at them. After reading them, she said very calmly: "Thank you, Empress Dowager Empress, for sending the invitations in person. The girls are terrified, but I'm sorry, there happened to be something happening at the girls' house that day. Forgive me for not being able to attend the ceremony."

What the Empress Dowager gave her was nothing but Zhou Yang's wedding invitation, and the date happened to be the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the day when Xin'er got married and Li Yi married her daughter-in-law, and it was also her...

This answer seemed to be expected by the Empress Dowager, so instead of being annoyed, she smiled happily, "Don't refuse in a hurry, you must know that you are the only person in this Palace who personally sends invitations, so it can be seen that this Palace How much I value you as a big, matchmaker."

Lu Lishi heard that she deliberately said the last three words very long and heavy, and something flashed through her mind quickly, but it didn't matter what it was, because it was not important, so she also smiled and said: "Minister I was panicked again, but it wasn’t Minnv’s deliberate refusal, there were indeed two weddings at Minnv’s home that day, this was known to the neighbors for a long time, so Minnv really couldn’t get away, and once again expressed deep regret.”

"No, I believe you will come, you will definitely come, I am waiting for you! Well, I have finished what I have to say, let's get up the sedan chair." The Empress Dowager stared at Lu Lishi for a long time, and then very Said firmly.

As soon as her words fell, and at the same time as the curtain was lowered, the twenty powerful bearers lifted the sedan chair smoothly, and then walked towards the way they came in orderly steps.

It was not until the Empress Dowager and her party walked a certain distance that Lu Lishi slowly stood up. From the corner of her eye, she saw the neighbor's aunt Chen looking at her worriedly, so she smiled at him, then turned and entered the house.
