A Romantic Beauty Around Imperial City

A single sentence and half a joke really made the atmosphere soften a lot. The empress dowager was startled, as if she wanted to get angry, but when she thought about how there was no one by her side who could speak confidently, she couldn't bear to go overboard.

She sat up straight. "I heard that the emperor bestowed a princess to you, and even made an exception to give you the empress's Weiyang Palace. What's the matter? Shouldn't you come visit This Dowager first after becoming a princess?"

Without waiting for Qian Li's reply, she continued, "Or do you youngsters think that this old woman is not important, that it's the same whether we meet each other or not?"

Qian Li knew the empress dowager pretty well, upon hearing her say this, she knew that she was just acting coquettishly. After pondering for a moment, she continued to answer, "I've long heard that the empress dowager is the most amiable person in this palace. To be honest, Qian Li already wanted to see you on the day she entered the palace."

"Hmph. You sound quite nice on the surface, but didn't I see your actions?"

Qian Li smiled and helped the empress dowager knead her leg while squatting down. The empress dowager liked his cute and obedient look.

She said, "Qian Li wants to take action, but aren't you worried that your manners will be improper and offend you? The empress dowager must have also known that before she was bestowed the title, Qian Li was just a countryside child who had not seen much in the world. Before this, the people beside the emperor had already repeatedly warned Qian Li about this matter, saying, you can't walk around freely in this imperial palace ah, it wasn't fun to accidentally bump into a noble person. Of course, Qian Li had always been bold, so if he bumped into other people, a thousand pills would naturally be enough to make a full circle around them. You are the most noble woman in this palace, how could Qian Li dare to act rashly? Moreover. In the past few days, Qian Li has been trying her best to follow Mama to study. After saying that, Qian Li let the empress dowager turn around and kneel down by her side. She bowed obediently, making the people around him burst out in laughter, "Royal Grandma, you've learnt quite a bit about etiquette, haven't you?"

With her arrival, the empress dowager seemed to brighten up a lot, but she wasn't able to hold it in in the end. She extended a hand towards Qian Li, "Little girl, you seem to be quite familiar with each other, you changed your address quite quickly."

Qian Li stood up and walked back to the empress dowager's side. "Could it be that the empress dowager thinks that Qian Li didn't do well? So you don't want to acknowledge me? Or could it be that the empress dowager despises Qian Li's identity as well? "

This aggrieved expression made the empress dowager anxious. "How could that be? This Dowager really likes you. In the future, if you have time, come and accompany an old woman like me."

Qian Li nodded his head, "As long as the empress dowager doesn't mind Qian Li, he can always come and accompany you. Hey, I promise you, when we're living in the palace, I'll find time to come visit you once every day. If he's not at the palace, why don't you send someone to instruct him, and Qian Li will also rush to the palace to meet you as soon as possible?"

"Then why are we still outside the palace? Wasn't it better to stay in the palace? Tell This Dowager what's wrong, and I'll have someone change it for you. "

It's just that, although there's a thousand good things about this palace and it's great, Qian Li's life was saved by the Ninth Prince in the end. We cannot forget the Emperor's kindness of knowing what has happened, and we cannot forget the prince's kindness of saving our lives. "

"Good girl, if everyone could be like you and not forget their roots, then there wouldn't be so many tragedies in life."

Just like that, the two of them started chatting. Unknowingly, time had passed.

When Qian Li left, the empress dowager was still reluctant to part with him. Thus, Qian Li could only agree to come see her the next day.

"This old servant thanks the princess." Just as he left the empress dowager's palace, the old Mama kneeled down in front of Qian Li. His sudden action caused Qian Li to be somewhat confused, "Mama, what are you doing?"

As she said that, Qian Li bent down to pull Mama up.

Only now did he realize that the old Mama's eyes were completely red.

"To tell you the truth, ever since the empress passed away, the empress dowager has never been this happy again. This old servant can only watch as the empress dowager gets old and is powerless every day." Today, I saw the empress dowager smile. This old servant, this old servant … This old servant is truly touched. "

"Mama, please do not say that. This is what Qian Li should do."

The old Mama wiped away her tears. "The princess is really a kind person. It's just as the empress dowager said, there aren't many people in this empress dowager's household who can speak the truth. As the empress dowager's wife's concubines are like this, just you …" How could an outsider possibly be sincere? " Finally, she continued, "But regardless of what you think, Princess, whether the Empress Dowager is sincere or not, I am truly grateful for what you have said to her today."

Although the words the old Mama said were not very nice to hear, Qian Li understood her thinking. "I don't want to explain anything right now. Mama, you will understand eventually. "

With that said, Qian Li turned and prepared to leave. Although she said that he did not want to bother with her, this feeling of being suspected of being nice to her was not good.

After walking a few steps, she turned around and said, "Mama, it is true that I promised the empress dowager that I would come often. This promise will always work, of course. if I am still alive and have the strength to return to this place. "

With that, Qian Li really left. Mama stood up, looked at Qian Li's back, her lips moved multiple times, she wanted to ask Qian Li what her intentions were, but in the end she could not.

She lowered her eyes. Could it be that she was overthinking things?

Right at this moment, Qian Li's personal palace maid, the Xiao Lan, ran back and hurriedly handed him a piece of paper.

"What is this?"

"These are some of the plans the princess has just written about the empress dowager's situation. The princess said that she thought that you would be able to use it, so she sent a servant over. "

"A plan?"

To someone who had lived in the palace for a long time, these words were not something they could think of, so for a moment, she did not understand Xiao Lan's meaning, but seeing how angry Xiao Lan was, she still opened the slip of paper.

The words were very simple and contained only a few words. The gist of it was that the empress dowager was in such poor health because she had been confined to her room for a long time and was depressed, unable to let go of her feelings.

Therefore, if she wanted to look better, if she wanted her body to get better, she had to let her mother go out often.

Qian Li had also said that she had observed that the atmosphere in the empress dowager's palace was really too depressing. The windows and doors were all too tightly shut, not even a gust of wind could blow inside.

She said that if it was possible, she could change the black and white silk and decorations in the palace. If she could persuade the empress dowager to put some flowers and plants in the house, then her mood would naturally improve after a while.

"This is …"

"Although Mama can understand your concern for the empress dowager's servant, framing my princess indiscriminately is really not a wise move. The princess even said that when she went back to the palace in a few days' time, when the pear blossoms bloomed this year, the princess had prepared a lot of pear blossoms and dried pear blossoms. It was said that they were very effective at coughing, and as soon as she saw that the empress dowager was coughing all the time, she was always worried. You guys … "Sigh."

The Xiao Lan didn't say anything more after that. She turned around and prepared to chase after Qian Li, "Mama, I'm not talking about you, although the imperial harem is indeed full of deceit, there are still good people who exist in the end. Furthermore, the people of this world aren't the ones who treat people well, you should think about this carefully.

"In addition, the princess is in a bad mood today. Tomorrow she still has to see the emperor, so this servant wants to say it. For the next few days, it's best if you don't go teach the princess etiquette. Let the princess rest first."

Without waiting for Mama's reply, she had already picked up her skirt and walked forward. After speaking for so long, the princess should be inside the palace now, right?

This won't do, when Sister Li Ran went to do some tasks, she had told Sister Li Ran that she would not leave Princess Qian Qian even a single inch of distance, and now that things were so far away, she had to hurry up and chase after her.

The old Mama was rendered speechless by Xiao Lan's words and could only watch as she ran off. Finally, unable to hold herself back, she asked with a hoarse voice, "Miss, what's your name?"

Xiao Lan ran while waving her hand, then said, "This servant is called Xiao Lan, in the future if Mama needs anything, he can look for our princess, this servant will do."
