A Romantic Beauty Around Imperial City

"Remember, you need to give it to Gong Ming, you don't need to say anything. You need to come back to this place before the emperor remembers us, understand?"

Li Ran nodded, "Princess, don't worry. We will definitely complete the mission."

After that, she looked to her left and right before she left, she had even instructed Xi Lan to take good care of Qian Li.

"Miss, oh, no, Princess, what is so urgent?" Without waiting for Qian Li to answer, she continued, "Princess looks very tired, the circles under her eyes are also very heavy. Did she not rest well last night?"

Qian Li nodded, "I'm not used to sleeping in a different place."

The Xiao Lan expressed her understanding towards this, "I can be like this sometimes, but it doesn't seem to be as serious as the princess."

In the palace, naturally there was a need to change the way they were addressed. Although Qian Li did not care about such a title, people were still different.

Those who understood would say that she was amiable.

Those who didn't understand would say that she couldn't even teach her servants well, and would even say that she was after all a country bumpkin. Even if she was conferred the title of princess, those traits in her bones couldn't be changed …

The current Qian Li had difficulty taking each step. She didn't have much time to handle the idle chatter, so she could only work hard from the beginning.

Xiao Li brought food over, and then brought the Mama who was teaching Qian Li etiquette over.

Qian Li was already extremely familiar with all these things, it was just that her current identity was different, everything needed him to start over, so she pretended not to know anything.

But she was smart, she had already mastered the things that Mama had taught her once or twice. It made it difficult for Qian Li to do so even if he wanted to.

However, even though he looked down on her identity at first, after getting along with her for a few days, he felt that there was nothing to criticize after seeing her amiable appearance. Gradually, he had a good impression of her.

On the fifth day, Mama returned on time. Princess's studies are really fast. I have already handed over the most basic things to Princess. As for the rest, I'm afraid I'll have to delay a bit. "

Qian Li did not understand, "Why is that so?"

"The empress dowager has no grandchildren, but heard the emperor bestow upon her an exquisite princess with great curiosity, all the while wanting to meet her. Before this, Old Li was worried that the princess's words and actions might not make him unhappy, so he temporarily stopped her. Since he's already learned the basic etiquette of a princess, he should first see the empress dowager, then think about it before doing anything else, right?"

"Empress Dowager …"

The empress dowager had treated Murong Yan extremely well. Back then, when Gong Ye wanted to take her as a concubine, the one who was most upset wasn't Murong Yan but the empress dowager.

After her rebirth, she had a chance to see the Empress, but she did not dare.

Originally, she had insisted on going to the funeral, but at that time, the crime that Murong Yan had committed was too great, so she was worried that she had lost control of her expression and caused the people to hold back.

At this moment, he finally couldn't avoid it?

In fact, she should have known since long ago. This world was so small, and even though she wouldn't be able to see him again in the blink of an eye, his Chang'an City was so small.

"Yes, Majesty."

Hearing this, Qian Li snapped back to reality and asked, "So Mama is someone close to the empress dowager."

Hearing this, Mama, who had already understood Qian Li's intentions, laughed awkwardly. "This old servant was originally a servant by the empress dowager's side, the reason why I didn't treat the princess well at the start was just to test the princess' patience. Now, I feel a little ashamed. "But this old servant was the one who said all of this. It has nothing to do with the empress dowager."

Qian Li nodded, expressing her understanding. This Mama had come into contact with her when she was still Murong Yan, and she had always known that this person was cold-hearted and kind to her.

"Qian Li knows that the reason why Mama did this was so that Qian Li would not embarrass herself in front of others. Your heart is kind, how can I blame you?"

As she spoke, she had already quickly readjusted her emotions. Li Ran had returned on the same day, and just as she had expected, no one else discovered this matter.

As for the emperor, Gong Ye, he had been busy with matters regarding An Rou, as though he had heard that the reports were being sent to An Rou's palace to be reviewed.

An Rou...

He was the first concubine after Murong Yan to have such a special honor.

Furthermore, Qian Li had heard that An Rou's stomach was really fighting for the sake of successfully giving birth to a male baby for the Emperor.

This was an extremely important matter in the palace, and the emperor had even granted a general pardon to the world. He had even said that after An Rou was born, he would hold a great banquet in the palace.

Qian Li smiled bitterly. Gong Ye, you really put in a lot of effort for An Rou.

"Then. If the princess is ready, then come with me to see the empress dowager. "

It was not easy to decline, and he could not refuse either. Qian Li nodded, "I will have to trouble Mama to lead the way."

The route from Weiyang Palace to the empress dowager's palace was still the same as usual. This was the path that Qian Li had walked countless of times before.

Qian Li felt that she was very calm now.

Now, she could even hide her traces when she saw Gong Ye, so she thought she could do the same when she saw the empress dowager.

However, when she saw it for the first time, she realized that she was the only one who thought of many things.

Her Majesty was much older.

"The empress dowager, she …"

"Why …" Qian Li could already see the empress dowager's appearance from far away, which was really very different from what she remembered.

"No, no …" For some reason, Qian Li only felt that her eyes were instantly wet.

The empress dowager used to be bright and beautiful. Although her age was right there, she was a woman who understood life very well. Even if the palace was filled with only herself every day, she would still put on very delicate makeup, speak, do things, and just sit there without saying a word.

But the current her …

It had only been a few years, but he was already so old.

His face was haggard, and his skin was thin and yellow. He looked as if he had suddenly aged by several tens of years.

For no reason at all, Qian Li felt her heart ache. She said, "Even though I've never seen the empress dowager before, I heard that the empress dowager is an exquisite woman. Why is she so haggard now? Is there something wrong? "

Very few people would dare to say such things after seeing the empress dowager. Those concubines would only know how to speak nice words every day, and most of them weren't speaking the truth.

This was the second time, that other than Murong Yan, he heard something similar to concern from a woman that she was not familiar with.

Mama immediately felt hot tears in her eyes.

She saw that the distance between them and the empress dowager was still rather small, so she replied in a low voice. A few years ago, a great event happened. Since then, the empress dowager had become very thin. She didn't think about tea or food, and instead always felt sleepy. Her complexion gradually worsened. "

"Why don't you try to persuade me? The old man's health is not good to begin with. If he is troubled by something within his heart, it will be very dangerous. "

"Where is the persuasion useful? Furthermore, those who are unsatisfied with the princess, in this palace, there have never been a few who agreed with her, but only a few who spoke the truth. "

As they were talking, the two of them had already gotten close to the empress dowager. Mama indicated for Qian Li not to speak for the time being, so Qian Li naturally understood.

Seeing her nod, Mama stepped forward. "Empress Dowager, Princess Qian Li is here."

The old man was dazzled. had already carried Murong Yan's characteristics on him and was now wearing the formal princess attire, which was not too different from the robe Murong Yan was wearing previously. With a glance, he thought Murong Yan had returned.

"Yan'Er …"

Qian Li felt that her heart was also trembling. She wanted to say a few comforting words, and even wanted to go forward to hug her and cry, but she couldn't.

Seeing that Qian Li did not speak, the Mama thought that Qian Li was embarrassed, so she reached out to caress the empress dowager's hand and took it back. "Empress Dowager, this is Princess Qian Li, whom the emperor had just conferred with not too long ago.

Hearing this, the empress dowager recovered her senses and took a closer look. Only then did she realize that it really wasn't so, and she sighed lightly in a very disappointed manner. Princess … Sit down. "

Her words did not seem to be coherent, but it fully explained her depressed mood. Qian Li did not obediently sit down, but instead walked towards the empress dowager.

"Greetings to the empress dowager from Qian Li. However, if it's based on the backup, Qian Li would need to call the empress dowager Royal Grandma, but I wonder if you would recognize this granddaughter of yours, Qian Li? "

She looked as if she were going to cry, but in order not to worry the Empress, she tried to change the subject in a naughty tone.
