Chapter 68
"This servant has seen the Empress Dowager."
The court lady blessed her body respectfully. The empress dowager's pampering and pampering for many years made her not show much oldness, her bearing was extraordinary, and her whole body was full of grace and luxury.The Empress Dowager raised her chin slightly, examined Youqing, and then said slowly to the maid: "You step back."
"Yes."
The maid stood up straight, glanced at You Qing who was full of bewilderment from the corner of her eye, although she couldn't bear it, she still obeyed the Queen Mother's instructions and stepped back slowly.
"You said sister would come."
Youqing took a peek at the queen mother, wanting to question the maid, but he just took a step, Zhang Nanny stood in front of her and smiled contemptuously.
She said to Youqing disrespectfully: "The imperial concubine has something to do for the time being, and she can't get away. After the empress dowager finds out about this, she pities the concubine who is pregnant with Liujia. The prince will definitely not feel at ease here alone, so he decided to come to the palace." Let's eat fast with the princess, and personally thank the Bodhisattva for his protection."
Of course Xiaoqing was not happy, he shook his head hastily, "No, no need."
After thinking about it for a while, Youqing added cautiously: "...I can stay here and come back when sister is done working."
"Wait for the concubine to come over?" Nanny Zhang slapped her head, "Ouch", and said with a smile: "I'm getting old, look at my memory, I forgot to make it clear to the concubine, the concubine means that the concubine is here In the past few days in the palace, since there is an empress dowager, she will not come here. Wangfei, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the empress dowager."
Youqing's eyes widened, "Sister won't."
"No?" Nanny Zhang went to Congjia's mansion that day, but suffered dozens of battles. She already held a grudge against Youqing, not to mention that Youqing was a thorn in the Empress Dowager's side at this time, so she naturally hated Youqing. Qing didn't have a good face, so he asked eccentrically: "Why is the princess acting so reluctant?"
Nanny Zhang sneered, "The empress dowager has lived in the harem for a long time, but now she condescends for the concubine and comes to accompany her in person. The concubine is fine, she is not only ungrateful, she even flirts face to face."
"...It's really presumptuous!"
As she said that, she stared at Youqing's slightly swollen belly, and said mockingly: "In the final analysis, it is still the bad habits of merchants. In the future, the eldest son in the palace must not be tainted with pettiness and the smell of copper. Otherwise, not only will the prince be laughed at, but even the empress dowager will be ashamed."
Youqing was not very happy to hear that, he covered his stomach, frowned and said slowly: "There is a grandma in Jinling who has lived to be one hundred and one years old, and she can still run, jump, and Eat and drink, do you want to know why she lived so long?"
Nanny Zhang glanced at him suspiciously, she had already experienced Xiaoqing's ability to play tricks and mess around, so even though she was not interested, she still did enough to save face, "I would like to hear about it."
Youqing said innocently: "Because she never meddles in other people's business!"
"..."
Nanny Zhang gave him a hard look, and was about to speak, the queen mother glanced at You Qing sympathetically, and stopped Nanny Zhang in a sympathetic manner: "Forget it, he is stupid and out of place, and he never knows the basics of etiquette." Things, Zhang Nanny why bother with him."
It doesn't matter if he is the queen mother or whoever, you can't even call yourself stupid, Youqing corrected dissatisfiedly: "I'm not stupid."
Nanny Zhang sneered, "Not stupid?"
The queen mother gave her a look, and she understood: "You have been foolish for several months. The queen mother thinks that you are pregnant with the royal family's flesh and blood. She turned a blind eye and never summoned the princess. I have been a princess, but today is different from the past—”
"It's time for the princess to honestly hand over the Tiger Talisman?"
"What?" You Qing blinked, and asked suspiciously, "What Tiger Talisman?"
"Since the princess can't remember by herself, then I will let the old servant help the princess to sort it out." Madam Zhang said expressionlessly, "Before the princess lost her memory, she was summoned and came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to meet the Queen Mother."
She didn't mention anything about Youqing's entry into the palace that day, but it was just for the empress dowager to show off her authority.But after Youqing was summoned into the palace, the queen mother avoided seeing her, and sent the maids to excuse her business, and asked Youqing to wait in the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace for the time being.
It's just that at this moment, there is a big problem.
Everyone in the world knows that after the death of the first emperor, the Empress Dowager set up a Buddhist altar in the Palace of Compassion, where she chanted sutras and prayed for blessings day and night. Liqin set up a Buddhist altar, one is to pray for peace and prosperity, and the other is to... hide the tiger talisman.
Even those who don't believe in heaven, ghosts and gods will not touch Buddha statues for no reason.
Thinking in this way, the queen mother hid the tiger amulet in her hand under the lotus seat of the golden Buddha statue, and usually only allowed Madam Zhang who knew the inside story to clean up the dust.
In this way, for more than ten years, the Empress Dowager originally thought that hiding the tiger talisman here would be safe, but she never thought that there would be someone who would be so bold as to have neither fear nor reverence for gods and Buddhas——
Youqing was left in the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, he waited left and right but couldn't wait for anyone to come, and couldn't leave, so he had to make fun for himself.
The young man was not timid. He touched here, glanced there, and finally stared at the golden Buddha statue on the altar. He couldn't help poking the cat's eyes embedded in the lotus seat with Bai Shengsheng's fingers.
The author has something to say: You Qingqing (proud face): Unexpected!
