When Nalan Yaoyao woke up, the sun was already hanging high. Compared to the haze a few days ago, today's heaven was clear. I didn't see the sunshine for a few days, but today I felt so warm. When Nalan Yaoyao got up, she looked outside from the window in the house. Outside the hall, the eunuchs swept up the snow accumulated over the past few days and cleared it off. Several palace maids were holding basins in their hands, and there were white patches inside, as if they were rubbing something. Nalan Yaoyao thought, it was probably salt!

"Master, are you awake?" Luluo heard the movement inside and walked in with hot water. Seeing Nalan Yaoyao standing in the window in thin clothes, she hurriedly put down the copper basin in her hand, got up and took the fox fur and put it on her body. "Master, it's still cold this day. You can't get the wind and cold..."

"It's nothing, the charcoal fire in the house is burning strongly. I don't feel cold..." Nalan Yaoyao shook his head.

"Then you have to pay attention..." Lu Luo said as she said to Nalan Yaoyao, "Listen to the news that Wufeng got, Wu Ya begged the prince to marry him..."

"Oh? What's the prince's reaction?" Nalan Yaoyao asked with a raised brow after hearing Luluo's words. Then he walked to the bed. Luluo poured a cup of salt water for Nalan Yaoyao to rinse his mouth, and then took the basin to wash her face and hands.

"The prince naturally disagrees. The county mainly married, so wouldn't it just that it can't enter the imperial tomb? Besides, the prince is still extremely resentful, so he naturally refuses..." Luluo told Nalan Yaoyao the news he found out.

"But this is Chaoyun's wish..." Nalan Yaoyao wiped his hands and neck with flower oil. "You ask Wufeng to speak to Lingyin and let her blow the wind in front of the prince at the right time. If the prince insists on not allowing it, then what we did before will be wasted?"

"Yes, I'll talk now..." Lu Luo responded, holding the basin and was about to go out, but was shouted by Nalan Yaoyao again, "Wait..."

"What else do you have to order from your master?" Lu Luo stopped, turned around and asked carefully.

"Let Wuyu and the others take a temporary vacation. If this prince agrees, Wuya will always be ready to celebrate. Isn't it necessary to help me..." As he said that, he took out a small bottle from under his pillow and handed it to Luluo. "If the prince really agrees to let Wuya marry Chaoyun, then let Lingyin remember to feed her this medicine quietly..."

"Yes..." Luluo carefully put away the bottle in her hand and hid her in her close chest.

Cining Palace

"What did you say? Liu Shishi came to Ai's house?" The empress dowager who was lying on the bed was a little surprised when she heard Zhu Xi's words, "What will she do when she comes to Ai's house?"

"I don't know this servant..." Zhuxi shook his head slightly, "but looking at that meaning, it seems like he wants to beg the Queen Mother..."

"Please ask for the Ai family?" The Empress Dowager said this and smiled bitterly, "What is there to ask for now in the Ai family?"

"Does the Empress Dowager meet or not?" Zhuxi asked. The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, then got out of bed. "See you, the Ai family also wants to see what she wants to do..."

"Yes, I will change your clothes now..." Zhuxi helped the empress dowager up and put on her clothes. After dressing neatly, the empress dowager helped Zhuxi to the outer hall. Duan Yunfang saw that the empress dowager came out and hurried forward to support her, "Auntie, be careful..."

"Well..." The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, then sat on the main seat, looking at the woman standing below. She wore a lake green dress, adding a little spring to this winter. The Queen Mother nodded involuntarily, and she was a girl who could dress up. She was just looking at her for nothing, and a warm feeling surged.

"My daughter pays me a blessing to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old..." After hearing the Queen Mother's voice, Liu Shishi gave a big gift to the Queen Mother. Every move was quite unique, making the Queen Mother who always likes to pick on her can't pick anything.

"It turned out to be Shishi. Zhuxi told the Ai family that you are back. The Ai family still doesn't believe it..." After looking at Liu Shishi, a gentle look appeared in her eyes. "You are not in good health, sit down quickly..." As she said that, Eunuch Li moved a soft stool behind Liu Shishi, and asked her to sit down.

"My daughter thanked the Queen Mother..." Liu Shishi gave another courtesy. The humble and polite manners made the Queen Mother's joy and frequently won the Queen Mother's satisfaction.

"Ai family remembers that you have been away from the capital for six or seven years, right? At that time, you were close to the emperor. I thought you could drink your wife's tea..." The atmosphere was originally good when the empress dowager said, but the more you went down, the atmosphere became a little cold. The empress dowager sighed slightly, "Ai family wanted you to be the most concubine at the beginning..."

"It's Shishi that has no blessing..." Liu Shishi's eyes flashed with gloomy, but then raised her head and smiled, "But Shishi met Miss Nalan a few days ago, and felt that she deserved to be the queen. Her aura and conversation were all top-notch. Even Shishi stood in front of her, she was just a wisp of dust..."

"You girl has always said to be humbled by yourself..." The Empress Dowager laughed and scolded, "The Ai family thinks you are the same as the emperor. If it weren't for you..." The Empress Dowager said this and looked at Liu Shishi's expression, as if she couldn't continue, but she sighed slightly, "What a pity. You and the Emperor were extremely compatible..."

"The emperor was at the forefront of the storm, and Shishi never dared to trap the emperor with her children's love. She sought an excuse to make the emperor break up with Shishi and fight for the throne! Now that she saw that the emperor got the throne as she wished, Shishi was relieved. At least Shishi did not do anything wrong back then, and now she doesn't regret what she did..." Liu Shishi slowly expressed her original intention.

The queen mother was shocked, "So, you didn't have any engagements back then? You didn't get married, right?"

Liu Shishi knelt on the ground and said, "Return to the Empress Dowager, yes. The Queen Mother has expired, please ask the Queen Mother to punish him..."

When the empress dowager heard this, she came down to help Liu Shishi get up. She looked at her lovingly, "Silly child, you sacrificed so much for the prince of the Ai family, how could the family punish you? It's a pity that the prince misunderstood you for so long! Do you tell the emperor about this?"

Liu Shishi shook her head, "My daughter is not going to tell the emperor about this." She said, looking up at the empress dowager, "My daughter doesn't want to increase the burden on the emperor anymore. The emperor has taken too much responsibility.My daughter..." She lowered her head as she said that.

"Good boy, you really hurt you..." The Queen Mother sighed slightly. He held her hand and asked her to sit with her. Seeing this, Duan Yunfang's pupils tightened and his face became tense. But he quickly hid and continued to stand behind the Queen Mother with his head down and gentle...

"Empress Dowager, Shishi doesn't cry. She just wants to think in her heart that all this is for the emperor, and Shishi thinks it is worth it..." Liu Shishi said to the empress dowager with a faint smile on her face. The empress dowager patted her hands with a moving face, "You silly child, the emperor has you, a confidante, it is his blessing!"

"The Empress Dowager is too rewarded..." Liu Shishi said with a little embarrassed blushing. "Shishi heard that the Empress Dowager has not had a good sleep recently, and she is here to deliver medicine to the Empress Dowager..." Liu Shishi said as she asked the maid behind her to hand over a box of rosewood, which also emitted a scent of sandalwood. "This is a bottle of medicine and a string of Buddhist beads that Shishi asked the hand of a monk outside to get a bottle of medicine and a string of Buddhist beads. The monk said that as long as she took this pill and matched it with Buddhist beads, it would be a sleeping effect!" Liu Shishi said as she took another box. "Shishi knew that the Empress Dowager had always liked to worship Buddha, so she copied a Heart Sutra and Diamond Sutra to the Empress Dowager..."

"You kid, you have always been in poor health, so why should you spend this energy writing these?" The empress dowager looked at the thick Buddhist scripture in front of her and looked moved. She patted her hand.

"The Empress Dowager has nothing to lack, and Shishi can only copy Buddhist scriptures to gain a little filial piety..." Liu Shishi smiled gently at the Empress Dowager, coughing slightly. The Empress Dowager showed a hint of worry when she heard her cough, "Why has your disease not cured yet? It's been a few years..."

"I'm old, Shishi knows that this is not good!" Liu Shishi smiled with a pale face. "It's Shishi's fault, it's because the Empress Dowager is so worried..."

"You child..." The Queen Mother shouted at her with a blame, and then comforted her, "The emperor has a disciple of a miracle doctor who is very skilled in medicine. The Ai family will let the miracle doctor show you, and you can't get rid of this disease..."

"Thank you for your kindness, but Shishi's disease..." Liu Shishi coughed a few times when she said this, "It's a congenital deficiency. Even the miracle doctor who is a wonderful doctor is afraid there is no way..."

"How can you know if you don't try?" The empress dowager patted her hand. When she said this, she smiled and waved to Duan Yunfang as if she remembered something. "Come on, just talking, the Ai family forgot to introduce some to you..." As she said that, she stretched out one hand and pulled Duan Yunfang. "Shi girl, this is Yunfang, the niece of the Ai family, who is a few years younger than you. It will be better for you to be close to each other in the future..."

"Sister Liu..." Duan Yunfang was not stupid, and vaguely guessed the purpose of the empress dowager. She took a step forward and shouted sweetly at Liu Shishi.

"Sister Yunfang, don't be polite!" Liu Shishi hurriedly helped Duan Yunfang up and said with a smile.

The Empress Dowager looked at the intimate appearance of the two, and nodded in applause, "My girl Shi will spend lunch with Ai's family today! No one has been with her family for a long time..."

"It is a blessing for Shishi to be able to eat with the Queen Mother! Then Shishi is not polite..."

"You girl, you know how to speak!" The Queen Mother said with a smile and then said to the two of you, "You two go out and talk about Tie-Hei! There is no need to accompany the Ai family's old bones..."
