Chapter 15 ([-]) Grandmother's blessing from heaven
[Sometimes in fate, there will be, and grandma will give you blessings;]

[From then on, I will accompany you to the left and right, and luck will come like a dream. 】

It was October in a blink of an eye, autumn had already arrived, and the maids who were afraid of the cold also put on extra clothes. On this day, the Queen, Zhang and Yin agreed to come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to greet the Empress Dowager early in the morning as usual.

After asking about Ann, the Empress Dowager left the Empress alone, and only the Empress Dowager, the Empress, Lagu Su Ma, and Gai Ronger were left in the room.

"Queen, Aijia asks you, how did Aijia hear that the emperor is not old enough to go to Kunning Palace? Is there any disagreement between you young couple?" The Empress Dowager asked.

"Back to the ancestors, the emperor and his concubines have never even blushed, so how could they disagree." The queen replied respectfully, "The emperor is busy with the country, so the number of visits to the harem is less."

"This political affairs is the country, but the inheritance of the family is also the country. You and the emperor have been married for more than a year, and you have to pay more attention to serving the emperor, so that the emperor likes to go to you." The empress dowager sighed and said.

"The concubine knows, let the ancestor worry about it." The queen responded meekly.

"Su Mo'er has been with me for so many years. I grew up watching the emperor, and I know the emperor's temperament. If you don't understand or want to know, just ask, Su Mo'er, you have nothing to do with the queen. Tell us what our emperor likes." The Empress Dowager said to Lagu Su Ma beside her.

"The old slave obeys the order, the old ancestor is at ease, I will be fine in the future, the old slave often goes to Kunning Palace to talk to the queen about our emperor." Aunt Su Ma replied.

At this time, the Empress Dowager looked at Gai Ronger who was standing beside the queen, and said, "This girl is the girl who was handed over to the queen by the Ai family during the maid selection this year, right?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the servant girl is right." Gai Rong'er blessed her body and replied.

"Queen, I think you often bring her here. Did you serve her well?" The Empress Dowager asked the empress who was sitting in the warm pit beside her.

"Yes, Rong'er is very good at poetry, he was educated very well since he was a child, and he is very suitable for my concubines." The Queen replied.

"By the way, Aijia remembers that your father is a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, right?" The Empress Dowager looked at Gai Ronger and asked.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, your memory is really good, and my father is exactly that." Gai Rong'er replied respectfully.

"Well, yes, when I heard that your father was a member of the Ministry of Rituals, I thought you had learned calligraphy and reading. So I ordered you to serve the queen. Well, what's your name?" The Empress Dowager smiled. asked.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the maidservant's name is Gai Rong'er, and now the empress calls her maidservant Rong'er." Gai Ronger replied.

"Well, Gai Rong'er, well, good, good..." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

At this moment, the eunuch outside the palace shouted "The emperor is down!"

Gai Ronger was shocked, she could really see the emperor again!

Following the voice of the eunuch at the gate of the palace, she saw a handsome young man stepping over the threshold and entering the palace, Gai Rong'er was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe, isn't it the emperor she always wanted to see.Seeing the emperor arrived, the queen quickly greeted the emperor, and Gai Ronger also knelt down.

Xuan Ye came to greet him, usually when he came, the concubines had already greeted him and went back. Today, the Empress Dowager left the queen to chat, and it happened that Xuan Ye came to greet him.As soon as Xuanye entered the door, he saw the empress was there, and he was surprised. He first greeted the empress dowager, and the empress saluted the emperor.

"Why is the queen here today?" Xuan Ye asked first after sitting down.

"Oh, the Ai family left the queen to chat." The empress dowager answered in front of the queen, and said: "Your majesty, you are too. This queen has been married to you for more than a year. You are busy studying political affairs. , Learning how to govern the country is good, but you can't neglect the queen, after all, she left her parents to come to this palace at such a young age, as a husband, she should pay more attention to her."

"Grandson knows, the ancestor made you worry." Xuan Ye replied with a smile.

"I know that my old man is worried, so don't let me worry about it. Hurry up and have a son. If you become a father, who will dare to say that you are not an adult next year." The Empress Dowager said softly.

"What the ancestor said is very true, and my grandson has remembered it." Xuan Ye still responded with a smile.

"Oh, you child, you have always responded well. Whether you do it or not is another matter." The Empress Dowager sighed.

"Old Ancestor, you have wronged your grandson. Your grandson is so courageous that he dare not fool you." Xuan Ye repeatedly argued.

"You child..." Hearing the emperor's answer, the empress dowager and empress couldn't help laughing.

Xuan Ye raised his eyes and saw Gai Rong'er while talking and laughing, and immediately remembered the poem reciting that day, and then remembered that he had never seen her in the Queen's Palace. Zhu then said: "Why hasn't I seen this maid in the Queen's Palace for a long time?"

Hearing the emperor's question, everyone didn't realize what was going on for a while,

Of course Gai Ronger understood that he was asking her, and blushed.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about Rong'er?" The Empress Dowager asked following the Emperor's gaze.

The emperor smiled and did not answer, but the queen hurriedly replied: "Back to the ancestors, last time Rong'er was reciting poems in the concubine's palace, the emperor happened to pass by and heard Rong'er reciting poems.

"Oh? What a coincidence, the Ai family was talking to the queen just now that Rong'er can recite poems, and the emperor has heard of it, so how about the poems she recites?" said the empress dowager.

"Old Ancestor, my grandson only heard her recite one song, and I think it's not bad, she's quite thoughtful, and there aren't many women like her."

"The emperor thinks this girl is good?" The Empress Dowager asked with a smile?

"Back to the Empress Dowager, grandson has seen many maids in this palace, she is really good like this." The emperor looked at Rong'er and said with a smile.

The Empress Dowager is also a sensitive person. Looking at her grandson's reaction, she feels that her grandson should have a good impression of this girl. In fact, this person is all about face. When the maid was selected, the Empress Dowager looked at Gai Ronger very well. I liked it quite a bit, but the emperor didn't like it, so he ordered it to be assigned to the queen. During this time, I often saw her accompany the queen to greet her, so I liked it very much, so I asked during the chat just now, since the emperor looked at it I also have a good impression of it, how about...

Glancing at Gai Rong'er who was standing on the side with a flushed face, the Empress Dowager said to the queen, "Queen, Ai's family has an idea. You said that this girl can read and write, and she knows poetry well. Since Yin promised to move to Let’s go to Kunning Palace, the emperor will have one less servant girl, how about this, Aijia will ask her for the emperor and you, and let her go to the Palace of Preserving Harmony to serve the emperor and be the emperor’s maid, okay?”

Hearing that the Empress Dowager wanted someone, the Empress really felt a little bit reluctant, this Rong'er was very suitable for her, and got along really well, but since the old ancestor had opened his mouth, he couldn't help but say so, so he replied: "Then It's Rong'er's blessing, and the concubine naturally has no objection."

"Your Majesty, what do you think? Is this girl acceptable to your palace?" The Empress Dowager asked the Emperor with a smile.

Xuan Ye laughed and said, "According to the arrangement of our ancestors, last time I told the Queen that there are talents in her palace, now it's back to digging the talents from her palace to my palace."

The queen smiled and said to Rong'er gently: "Rong'er still doesn't thank you."

"Rong'er, thank you, Empress Dowager, thank you, Your Majesty." Rong'er paused for a moment, his face was full of surprise, the empress only thought of thanking her after urging her.

It was really a surprise, no, it was a shock, I never thought that the Empress Dowager would let her serve the emperor, it was a surprise, it was a surprise, Rong Er's excitement was indescribable, and he felt countless deer jumping around in his heart. is that true?Am I dreaming?
"Okay, get up, go back and tidy up today, Su Mo'er, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs send a father-in-law to take her to the Hall of Preserving Harmony in the afternoon." The Empress Dowager instructed La Aunt Su Ma beside her.

Gai Rong'er didn't even know how she got back to Kunning Palace, she felt like she was dreaming all the way, she couldn't believe that she had such good luck, she could go to the emperor's side?That man she has been watching from afar, who is as far away as a god, can she really come to him?
