Chapter 4 Join the Empress Dowager

When he arrived at the door of Yanxi Palace, Grandpa Wang retreated and led them in by a quiet maid in a green shirt. However, at the door, Zhou Huaiyi suddenly pulled her wrist and pulled her back. Wei was puzzled, but he saw the Empress Dowager sitting in the middle of the room happen to see this scene, and his face was immediately bad.

There are many people in the Yanxi Palace, and Wei Fuyan speculed over the identities of several important people at a glance based on the primary and secondary seats. Naturally, the old man with crane-haired chicken skin sitting on the main seat in the middle is the empress dowager. A small man with a round face and big eyes beside the empress dowager is blinking at her happily. Isn't it Yuer who just met yesterday? Hui Mingyu, the youngest granddaughter of the empress dowager's mother's brother, looks very pleasing to the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager sits on the left side as the queen. The queen is thin and her eyebrows are slender. Although she is dressed in bright yellow, her makeup and accessories are very simple, which is not luxurious than other concubines around her. When they arrived at the door, the queen was bowing her head for tea. When she saw a report, she suddenly looked up and quickly withdrew her eyes. That look was really majestic and fierce. No matter how simple she was dressed, she could not hide the prestige of the queen of the palace.

The empress dowager should be the mother of King Tuo. Compared with today's indifferent queen, Chai is really beautiful and elegant. She is dressed in a rose-red jacket and smiles like a delicate flower. The maidservant reported that Chai Guifei was putting a delicate snack on a small white porcelain plate with silver chopsticks, raised her eyebrows and looked at them slightly, and the chopsticks in her hand were steady.

It is difficult to distinguish other Tong Fei and Yan Guiren who have known before, but there are seven or eight people sitting in the room, plus the maids of the concubines and the servants in the Yanxi Palace, there are more than 20 people at a glance.

Wei Fuyan was very puzzled by Zhou Huaiyi's sudden move before entering the door, but it was clear that because of the subtle change in the atmosphere in the room, the Empress Dowager seemed angry, the queen's expression was unclear, Chai Guifei smiled unfathomably, and most of the others smiled - the smile of watching the play.

"Be careful of the threshold." Zhou Huaiyi seemed to say this casually, but Wei Fuyan was sure that everyone in the room could hear it.

Zhou Huaiyi took her hand and walked forward before she let go.

"Speaks to the Empress Dowager, to the Queen Mother, and to Chai Guifei and the Empresses." Zhou Huaiyi looks much more relaxed than the emperor.

Wei Fuyan followed the previous line of gifts. She didn't understand why the Empress Dowager suddenly changed her face when she saw Zhou Huaiyi's intimate actions with her. For a moment, she did not dare to be careless, but after saluted, neither of them saw the Empress Dowager talking, so they had to wait respectfully.

"Empress Dowager!" It turned out that Yuer shouted in a low voice, with a strong coquettish taste.

The Empress Dowager was furious: "Don't be polite! Is the mourning family gone? Do you want you to kneel down and play one by one?

The room was immediately quiet, but the atmosphere became more subtle in an instant.

"Princess Duyang, come here!"

Wei Fuyan was shocked and subconsciously wanted to see Zhou Huaiyi, but at this moment, if the two of them moved a little, they would fall into the eyes of the people around them. She blinked that Yuer had just winked at her happily and intuitively thought that the Empress Dowager's anger did not come from her.

"Yes, Empress Dowager!" Wei Fuyan rose in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant, and his manners were all-faced.

The Empress Dowager looked at Wei Fuyan for a long time and suddenly sighed: "You married three years ago, but I didn't see you until today!"

Wei Fuyan immediately remembered the emperor's meaningful words and said, "When I returned to the Empress Dowager's words, I just went to visit my father. My father said that he would always come. Although the concubine came late, the fate is still the same as before.

This sentence fell on the emperor, and the concubines had to reconsider her weight. It's not that the poor abandoned concubine has not been favored by the king for three years. In the final analysis, it only depends on the emperor's meaning. What's more, Zhou Huaiyi just mentioned whether her Wei Fuyan was favored or not, but she was afraid that no one in the seat dared to judge.

"It's rare for you to be so reasonable," the Empress Dowager took her hand and sighed, "This is ignorant, which makes you feel wronged!"

The situation immediately reversed. Although there were many people watching the bustle, Wei Fuyan clearly felt that the arrogant mockery of the concubines was far more restrained, but she knew that the visible queen and Chai Guifei were still calm.

Wei Fuyan didn't know what Yuer said for her in advance. Anyway, she was really grateful to Yuer at this moment. She smiled gently and said, "Well, although the prince is often busy outside, the days of gathering are very good for my concubine. If a person drinks water, he knows whether it is cold or warm, and the prince's good concubine knows it physically and mentally.

She knew what kind of daughter-in-law the old man liked. No matter how gentle and decent she was, she was not as good as praising the old man's grandson. Sure enough, although the empress dowager still did not smile, her anger gradually slowed down.

The Empress Dowager said, "You mean, how long has it been since you came back to see your family? I don't know what I'm busy with every day!"

Zhou Huaiyi smiled and said, "As soon as I come back, I will be scolded by the Empress Dowager. I'm too scared to come back!"

"I feel sorry for my family! If you listen to theai family's words peacefully, theai family will be too lazy to scold you!"

Zhou Huaiyi said, "Now that I come back, when I hear that the Empress Dowager is still scolding, I know that the Empress Dowager is still in good health, and I feel at ease!"

"Peace of mind?" The Empress Dowager heard that Zhou Huaiyi's words were full of concern for her and relief, but she still said mercilessly, "If you don't come back for many years like this, your family will be angry with you sooner or later!"

"Empress Dowager," Zhou Huaiyi glanced at the queen and Chai Guifei, and then said with a smile, "This time I want to live a stable life with cigarettes, and I won't leave!"

The queen lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and Chai Guifei's hands trembled slightly. They knew that Zhou Huaiyi would definitely participate in the battle in the court. The queen waited for King Huai to save the deposed prince. Chai Guifei was worried that King Huai would fight against King Tuo, but she was just worried about her son!

The Empress Dowager nodded with great satisfaction, and the atmosphere in the room was slightly happy. The Empress Dowager ordered, "Let me sit down!" But before the servants acted, she glanced around the world and said, "Why hasn't the third family come yet? Are you so arrogant when you are only two months pregnant?

Chai Guifei immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Empress Dowager! She doesn't dare to be arrogant if you give her ten guts! Don't you hear that you are going to hold a banquet for Princess Huai later? Although she is not as noble as the princess, she is still a sister-in-law. How can she sit down?

"Only you remember the noble and low status! Do you think Princess Huai is generous and decent? How can there be rumors about Princess Duanyang's airs? The Empress Dowager motioned Yuer to help her up, and then came to Wei Fuyan with the help of Yuer and said, "My family likes this Princess Huai very much!" Let's go and walk with my family!"

Zhou Huaiyi nodded to her inadvertently. Wei Fuyan said, "Yes, my concubine obeys the order." Then help the Empress Dowager go out with Yuer left and right.

The garden of the palace is nothing more than that. Wei Fuyan hasn't seen anything new 17 years before his marriage. However, it is April that the courtyard is full of prosperity and beauty, which looks very heartwarming. Wei Fuyan lowered her head and listened to the empress dowager's joke all the way. She found that the empress dowager and the eldest princess of Xingguo were very similar. Although her words were frank and straightforward like a man, she still hoped that women would be gentle and virtuous. Although Wei Fuyan repeatedly echoed, she felt vaguely uneasy. Previously, the Empress Dowager favored her because of Yuer's words, and later her words were full of gratitude to her for leaving Zhou Huaiyi in Luodu. If she can't open branches and leaves for the Huaiwang Mansion within a year, I'm afraid she will no longer have the current status of accompanying the Empress Dowager.

It's just strange that she didn't see Princess Jingyu in Yuer's mouth. She is now very interested in looking at this so-called "world's first beauty"!

I didn't see Princess Ping, a woman in white...

As soon as this idea jumped out, Wei Fuyan couldn't help looking at Zhou Huaiyi. He smiled and said something beside the queen, which should not be too serious, because Chai Guifei squeezed her lips behind them and smiled still unprehensably.

Yuer saw it cleverly and helped the empress dowager go and said, "Empress dowager, am I right? Look, the king of Huai is still thinking about the princess after him! Who said that the couple were at peace? Who said that Princess Huai's arrogance and arrogance embarrassed King Huai? Who said that Huai Wang is thinking about the past and doesn't plan to settle down? It's all rumors!"

So that's it. Wei Fuyan nodded gratefully to Yuer, and Yu'er blinked at her happily.

"You girl!" The Empress Dowager smiled and stretched out her hand on Yuer's forehead, "If you are betrothed to Lao Jiu, you will even say all his brother's good words!" Don't be ashamed!"

Yuer immediately blushed and muttered, "No! They... they like Princess Huai! They all think that Yuer doesn't know the etiquette and doesn't like Yuer. Princess Huai doesn't have it!"

Wei Fuyan smiled and replied under the gaze of the Empress Dowager: "It turns out that Miss San is thinking about this!" Miss San is simple and straightforward, and she speaks and does things pleasingly. Who wouldn't like it?

"Don't say good things for her! She really needs to change her character! Where does this look like a wife? You and Lao Jiu are stupid. What should we do if you two fools are gone one day!"

Zhou Huaiyi walked on the other side at this moment and suddenly looked up at her. Wei Fuyan nodded to show his understanding and said to the empress dowager, "The health of the empress dowager is the blessing of the younger generation. There are the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and even the king of Huai. How can they not let the ninth prince and the third lady be wronged!"

This is a promise that Huai Wangfu will take care of Sheng Qian and Yuer. Zhou Huaiyi was listening to Chai Fei's speech, but as soon as Wei Fuyan fell from the corner of his mouth, he immediately smiled.

The Empress Dowager nodded repeatedly and said, "After all, she is worthy of being a princess. She is well-behaved, and her mouth is pleasing and speaks. Yuer, if you look like a princess, you won't be so worried!"

Yu'er pouted and said, "Empress dowager, I will learn! Just let Princess Huai teach me, and I will learn obediently!"

I saw an open area, where a few shorts and futons were placed, and there was an open space in the middle like a song and dance performance. A few shorts prepare good wine and food. The Empress Dowager was ready to take her seat, but she didn't forget Yuer's words. She said, "Why do you want to make trouble for people again?" Are the people in the palace still not enough to be tossed by you?

Wei Fuyan accepted such a big love for Yuer today. Seeing Yuer's displeasure, she said, "If the Empress Dowager doesn't dislike it, my concubine is very willing to help Miss San!" I don't know what the Empress Dowager's intention is?"
