Chapter 853 The so-called relatives (3)
Since Gao Zhen, the king of Gaobei Kingdom, was not very old, the age of the Empress Dowager Jingxian was more than one round younger than that of the Empress Dowager Daming, and she looked very young.

When Aunt Shang was brought into the palace, she saw the noble lady walking in the yard from a distance, and suddenly shivered in her heart, feeling chilly.

Forgot, she almost forgot what this master looked like, but when they met again, she clearly remembered everything she felt.

"My maidservant sees the Queen Mother." Aunt Shang knelt down in front of the lady, and directly knelt on the stone pavement in the yard covered with a thin layer of snow.

The woman looking down on her is about 50 to [-] years old, and she is well maintained, so her skin remains young without excessive wrinkles.The Empress Dowager, who looked very young, had a benevolent and gentle face, and her voice was soft like a spring breeze, and she said, "Get up, it's been so long since you've been out, it's rare that you can recognize Aijia at a glance?"

"That's because the Empress Dowager hasn't changed much for so many years." Aunt Shang said, "It's not like the slaves have aged a year ago."

"Look at your sweet mouth, you must have fooled many people in Daming." When Empress Dowager Jingxian said this, the ladies following her laughed like bells.

Aunt Shang tried her best, but she couldn't figure out who these people were, and whether she had seen them before.

A group of people went back to the house.

After Aunt Shang stood up, she realized that there was still someone kneeling in the yard.If you take a closer look, it looks familiar, and if you look at it more clearly, you will be surprised.

The person who seemed to be kneeling in the snow for a long time was none other than the envoy Lu Yushan who had appeared invincible in front of them before.

Aunt Shang stood up, her legs were a little weak, and she walked into the Queen Mother's room tremblingly.

Empress Dowager Jingxian said to the lady sitting on the left: "Hasn't Concubine Xi come?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Xi said that she was unwell and it was not suitable to come to see the Empress Dowager. She was afraid that someone would make her angry. She said that she had met the Empress Dowager, and she didn't know what to say." The man replied.

Concubine Xi is the mother of the third prince Gao Zhuo.

Gao Zhuo is punished to kneel in the snow now, his own mother can't even beg for mercy, so he closes the door in his palace to avoid disaster.

When Empress Dowager Jingxian heard this, she refused to comment, turned her head, and said to Aunt Shang, "How long have you been with your master?"

Knowing that the Queen Mother was asking about her time with Li Min, Aunt Shang said, "No more, no less, about half a year."

"Half a year is enough to understand a person's character. There are many rumors about her outside, and Ai's family has heard a lot here, and I don't know which one is true and which one is false."

"The servant thinks that the master of the servant is a very straightforward person, so the master never pays attention to how to spread his words to the outside world."

"So you're a person who does his own thing?" The lady on the left who answered the Queen Mother's question suddenly interrupted her.

Aunt Shang had to take a good look at this person, because this person must be a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager, otherwise, how could she dare to interject when the Empress Dowager was talking to her, she was not afraid that the Empress Dowager would scold her aloud.

Seeing this noble lady dressed in crimson purple royal colors, her face is as beautiful as the moon, and she is probably over twenty years old. It is at the most beautiful period of a woman, her youthful breath has just faded, and her mature charm is slightly revealed.

"Aunt Shang probably doesn't remember who the concubine is." The lady said to the Queen Mother with a smile when she saw Aunt Shang's gaze.

Empress Dowager Jingxian seemed to raise her brows when she heard this, and when she remembered this, she twitched her mouth and said to Aunt Shang: "This is Princess Lihui. The younger sister of the master you followed to Daming."

Aunt Shang shuddered suddenly, she just remembered.

Thinking about the woman called Wang Shaoyi in the Daming Palace, she is actually a woman from a prominent family in the Gaobei Kingdom, called Princess Qinghui.The title of princess was specially awarded by the king later, and it has nothing to do with who is the prince of his family.In the same way, my elder sister was specially named princess by the king because of her meritorious service to the country. This younger sister, for some unknown reason, was granted the title of princess.

Aunt Shang took a closer look, and found that the woman in front of her was indeed similar to the one in the Daming Palace, with some undeniable similarities in facial features.

Li Hui said: "When my sister left Gaobei, the concubine was still young, maybe less than three years old, and there were very few things that could remember my sister. Seeing that my sister's children are now about the age of the concubine, It really makes the concubine feel deeply that the years when my sister left the high and low are like a shuttle, which is unimaginable."

"Now, whether this child is from the Ming Dynasty or from the humble, she can't tell herself." Empress Dowager Jingxian said.

Aunt Shang shuddered again, thinking, isn't this insinuating that Li Min is also Ming or his status is unclear.

Empress Dowager Jingxian continued: "Whether your master is a Ming or a high-ranking man, there is nothing wrong with being married to Beiyan's Li Wang. You are a down-and-out man."

"The servant is from Gaobei. When the servant left Gaobei, she never forgot this identity." Aunt Shang said.

"For these two days, your master, stay in Xingzhou first. You have been away from Xingzhou for a long time, and I am afraid that you are not very familiar with Xingzhou today. The Ai family asked Princess Lihui to accompany your master. You are leaving the palace today. In the future, take Princess Lihui to see your master." Empress Dowager Jingxian issued a series of instructions.

Aunt Shang and all the noble ladies present listened to the order.

People from Gaobei Kingdom must treat the envoys from Ming Dynasty with courtesy.The living environment arranged for Daming people is equivalent to the living environment of first-class rich families in Xingzhou City. The houses are spacious and bright, the yards are clean, and there are rockery pavilions and spring water.

Living in such a place does not feel uncomfortable.

After staying here on the first day, Li Min found that the climate here is better than that of the capital of Ming Dynasty.The only problem, the water is cold.

After drinking the boiled water, there is still a chill in it, which seems to be impossible to get rid of.

If you use this kind of water to boil medicine, the efficacy of hot medicinal materials may be halved.

Ziye walked into the house and reported: "Aunt Shang is back. She brought someone back from the palace."

The princess brought back, Princess Lihui, got off the carriage, looked at the place where Li Min lived, and smiled at Aunt Shang: "The empress dowager is kind, and she treats your master very well. This mansion, before Do you know who lives there?"

Aunt Shang really couldn't remember such small details, she lowered her head and waited for Li Hui to say.

Li Hui said: "It used to be Prince Fu's residence."

Prince Fu is the uncle of the current king. It is said that a long time ago, before the current king ascended the throne, his house was ransacked for committing some crime.

"Don't think that Prince Fu's house was confiscated, but his mansion cost a lot of money when it was built before, and many masters were invited to design it carefully. The few stones in the yard were moved from Daming all the way. Yes. It took about ten years from the site selection to the completion of the construction. After the confiscation, no one lived in this mansion. However, you can see that every plant and tree here is still taken care of. It's very good. It shows that the Empress Dowager has long thought in her heart that she wants to give this mansion to someone."
