Chapter 25 Duplicity
"Empress Dowager, Yun'er is here to pay tribute to you!" The empress dowager was still looking at him, and Duan Yunyun's cry came from outside the door. She only saw a red dress floating past Nalan Yaoyao, and then she saw Duan Yunyun happily holding her arm and acting coquettishly. "Empress Dowager, Yun'er hasn't come to see you for several days. Are you thinking about Yun'er?"
"You child is so old and still acts coquettishly in front of Ai's family!" The empress dowager saw Duan Yunyun's smile on her face and looked at her with a gentle face.
"In front of the empress dowager, Yun'er has never grown up. Unless the empress dowager hates Yun'er..." Duan Yunyun pouted slightly and acted coquettishly. His cute appearance made Nalan Yaoyao tremble. This is Duan Yunyun who pretended to be a lady in front of him just now? She is too fickle, right? She is so vomiting...
"Okay, there's someone else here!" The Empress Dowager smiled and asked Duan Yunyun to sit down. Then she looked at Nalan Yaoyao who was still kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile, "Look at the memory of the Ai family, Nalan girl, you get up quickly!" As she said that, she looked at Duan Yunyun with anger, "You girl, you don't come sooner or later, the Ai family forgot Nalan girl!"
"Yes, it's Yun'er's fault!" Duan Yunyun stood up and walked to Nalan Yaoyao with a smile. "Miss Nalan, don't blame Yun'er!" As he said that, he smiled at her. If he ignored the disdain in her eyes, Nalan Yaoyao thought this girl was a little cute. Unfortunately, it made her feel a little ridiculous now. She didn't know where her disdain came from...
"Miss Nalan, please sit down..." The empress dowager took a sip of tea and said as if she was gifted. Duan Yunyun over there also sat down, and some of the ladies who followed Duan Yunyun in also came forward to greet the empress dowager in a regular manner.
"Empress Dowager, there will be a Hundred Flowers Banquet in the near future! Yun'er thought that there will be many ladies appearing at this Hundred Flowers Banquet. Now that the emperor is not in the palace, he doesn't know how to arrange this Hundred Flowers Banquet..."
"This Hundred Flowers Banquet is an annual prosperous age! But the Ai family is getting older and becoming more lazy. Let's leave this matter to you. Your child is the mother of a country in the future, so he will be a practice!" When the empress dowager said this, her eyes were intentionally looking at Nalan Yaoyao who was sitting quietly there. She found that her eyes were calm and she had no reaction at all, and she was a little surprised. However, her face was silent...
"Empress Dowager, how old are you? Yun'er stands in front of you, and everyone will say that you are Yun'er's sister!" Duan Yunyun smiled and thanked her when she heard that the Empress Dowager gave her such great power. However, she still did not forget to flatter her. The ladies in the room nodded and said yes. Only Nalan Yaoyao didn't say anything...
Indeed, Duan Yunyun looked so old that they looked like sisters standing beside the empress dowager. Nalan Yaoyao said in his heart. I guess if Duan Yunyun heard this, he would vomit blood for a while.
"Oh, you are the girl with a sweet mouth!" The Queen Mother smiled and patted Duan Yunyun's back of her hand. Duan Yunyun lowered her head shyly, looking at Nalan Yaoyao who was silent over there and asked curiously, "Miss Nalan, do you think the Queen Mother is young even if you didn't speak just now?"
"The Queen Mother still has charm. How can we compare such charms like us who can't get on the table?" Assisting the disgust, Nalan Yaoyao also praised her. Well, she didn't have to eat this night, and she was already disgusted by her own words. This passage is really not a good bird. She looked for trouble as soon as she came up. I looked for your sister, but I like to flatter the Queen Mother, and even slapped her, and I mean to hold my mother as a cushion?
"Haha... Is he old? How can I compare with you?!" The Empress Dowager smiled and shook her head. Then she looked at Nalan Yaoyao, "I don't know Miss Nalan Lingzun is..."
"When I returned to the Empress Dowager, the young lady had an accident before and lost her memory. So I don't know where my home is, and who is his parents..." Nalan Yaoyao replied indifferently. Old witch, don't think that my sister didn't see the plot in your eyes.
"Pity..." The empress dowager heard this and looked at her pitifully. Even the ladies in Duan Yunyun looked at her with such pitiful eyes. It made Nalan Yaoyao feel uncomfortable all over. Isn't it just that she has lost her memory? She is so fucking like she is dead now?
"Empress Dowager, this Miss Nalan is really pitiful! You have to help find her family..." Duan Yunyun's eyes turned red and she said to the Empress Dowager.
"Yes, Miss Nalan is really pitiful. I guess her parents are also anxious about her whereabouts, right?" Some ladies were talking in a low voice. After hearing this, the empress dowager nodded and looked at Nalan Yaoyao. "Don't worry, the Ai family will help you find your parents!"
"Thank you Empress Dowager..." Nalan Yaoyao nodded. Anyway, no matter whether her words are true or false, thank you first.
He said some more words. Since many ladies were present today, the empress dowager rewarded some items and asked Nalan to go back to the palace. Some of the other ladies also knew the eyes. They stood up and thought that the empress dowager would retreat, so they left.
Soon, the only people in the room that were lively just now were the Queen Mother and Duan Yunyun. Duan Yunyun saw that everyone had been exposed, and then he took off his hypocritical face. "Auntie, that Nalan Yaoyao is so bad. You don't know that she scolded me at the gate of your palace just now..." Duan Yunyun said to the Queen Mother aggrievedly.
"Oh, what did she scold you?" The Queen Mother asked with concern after taking a sip of tea.
"Yun'er originally planned to make friends with her, but she was a shameless deception. I think she called her sister, but she actually mocked her parents for not giving birth to such an old daughter in front of many officials' ladies! Aunt, do you think this woman deserves a lesson? If I hadn't kept remembering my aunt's words, Yun'er would have broken up with her long ago..." Duan Yunyun said this and snatched the veil in her hand. She wished that the veil in her hand was Nalan Yaoyao's body, which was torn to pieces by herself.
"You did the right thing now! People, especially if you want to gain a foothold in this harem in the future, you must not follow your temperament. You should be humble and respectful on the surface. You don't have to say what methods should you do behind the scenes. Your aunt doesn't have to think about it yourself! But Nalan Yaoyao is not an ordinary lady, she is also a deep-minded person. You have to be careful..." The empress dowager remembered that Nalan Yaoyao had always been humble and polite today, and knew that this was not a bone that was easy to chew.
