Li Man'er never expected that she would just take a nap and the Queen Mother's decree would arrive.
It was not her intention to break off the engagement, but to declare her intention to enter the palace.
"Girl, why are you holding it?" Zi Yan carefully took Yizhi from Li Man'er's hand and stroked it with her hands. Then she held Yizhi with both hands and placed it directly on the case stand.
stand up.
Li Man'er couldn't understand the feelings of the ancients. It was just a will. If it were placed in future generations, it would be equivalent to a message in the DingTalk group. Is there any need to offer it up?
"Oh, why are you still standing there? We have to get ready."
"what to prepare?"
Lu Yi hurriedly hung up the clothes he had picked out, smoothing out the non-existent wrinkles on the clothes while hanging them up, "Girl, you have to take a bath and change clothes, get ready to enter the palace."
Li Man'er sighed, "Do you need to go to such trouble? I bathe your girl every day."
"This is different, hurry up!"
Li Man'er had no choice but to be pushed into the clean room by the girls, where she took a bath and changed her clothes, very religiously.
Zi Yan felt uneasy, "I don't know why the Queen Mother announced that our girl will enter the palace."
"Afraid it's about breaking off the engagement?" Lu Yi whispered: "I think the Queen Mother may not be willing to let our girl break off the engagement, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed for so long."
Zi Yan said worriedly: "Is it a blessing or a curse? The worst thing is to teach our girl a few words. With the affection of the Ning family, the Queen Mother will not say too much."
"I hope so."
Li Man'er tidied up, changed into a new set of clothes, and was helped by Granny Wu to sit in front of the dressing table.
"Good mama, please don't comb my hair too heavily or wear too many jewelry."
"No, entering the palace is not a child's play. You must pay attention to every aspect."
Grandma Wu took a comb dipped in jasmine hair oil and combed Li Man'er's hair very carefully. She also picked a flawless white jade hairpin from the makeup box, wrapped her hair around the hairpin, and twisted it into a bun.
Make a bun, and finally insert the hairpin into the bun against your scalp.
"Hiss~" Li Man'er gasped in pain, "Mommy, please be gentle."
"If it is too light, this hairpin will not be able to hold the hair, and it will be loose and loose. Wouldn't it be disrespectful in front of the Queen Mother?" Empress Wu carefully combed her broken hair and inserted a hairpin on each temple.
The fringed emerald flower and the butterfly's pearl flower.
"Mommy, I'm so old and I'm still wearing this kind of pearl flower." Li Man'er frowned in disgust, "Can you change it to pearls?"
Grandma Wu thought for a moment, carefully took off the pearl flowers, and replaced them with two simple southern pearl flowers for her to wear.
It's much more pleasing to the eye now.
After changing his clothes, Li Man'er was ready to set off.
Before leaving, I need to go to Mrs. Cui and listen to her teachings. Nowadays, Ms. Cui will naturally not teach Li Maner endlessly. She just tells her to follow the rules after entering the palace and never do anything out of the ordinary. She also asked her
If she has a chance, she will go see Concubine Shu.
"If your Majesty knows that you have gone, she will definitely ask someone to invite you over. When you go, you must show your Majesty how she is doing now, and when you come back, you must tell me the truth. You must not be wrong."
When she said this, Mrs. Cui's expression was very serious. The corners of her eyes turned downward, hiding the fierceness in her eyes, but Li Man'er could still hear a bit of chilling air from her tone.
"Yes." Li Man'er replied very respectfully, "Grandma, don't worry, my queen's affairs are the most important."
Mrs. Cui nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead, don't delay the time of entering the palace." Mrs. Cui asked Aunt Wang to give her the badge of the Hou Mansion, "Bring this with you so that you are prepared."
Li Man'er took the waist card. The moment she took it, she noticed something strange on the waist card. She took the waist card calmly and said, "Grandma, granddaughter, please leave first."
"Go for it!"
After Li Man'er left, Grandma Wang said worriedly: "Old madam, the eldest girl is a doctor and has great abilities. Is it possible that she discovered that the brand was tampered with?"
Mrs. Cui thought for a moment, and then said: "Half and half, I'm just betting now."
"Betting?" Grandma Wang still didn't quite understand.
"If she doesn't find out, everything goes as planned. What if she does?"
Grandma Wang suddenly realized, "You mean, it depends on the attitude of the older girl."
"That's right." Mrs. Cui sighed thoughtfully, "I feel more and more that this child is planning something. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for the Li family."
"Old Madam, you are worrying too much. After all, the eldest girl is a member of the Li family, and she is also a member of the family. After the nest is overturned, will An's eggs be intact?"
Mrs. Cui fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said with a hint: "If she doesn't know about it all her life, she can still care about her family ties. What if the truth is revealed to the world?"
Grandma Wang didn't dare to speak anymore. She saw Mrs. Cui twitching the corners of her mouth slightly, looking very bitter.
Now that things have happened, does the old lady regret it?
Do you regret it? It’s too late...
Li Man'er walked out of the Songhe Hall door with his front foot, and threw the waist badge in his hand into the space with his back foot.
There was a strong fishy smell on the waistband. Others might not be able to smell it, but it couldn't be hidden from her nose.
If what she expected was correct, the sign must have been tampered with, and there must be a bug inside, and it would just wait for the right time to come out.
She will then become the host.
This good grandmother of hers seems to have extraordinary means! When Ning was poisoned and died, she was inseparable from Cui, and now, the poison is used to harm her again.
"Girl, what are you thinking about?"
Li Man'er raised her lips and smiled, "I didn't think about anything, I was just worried that you would be nervous."
Zi Yan clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "I'm not nervous. As long as you follow the girl, I'll be fine."
Green Yi also said: "Sister Ziyan, don't worry, the palace is not a place for cannibalism, you just need to follow the girl closely."
"How about we switch? I'll wait outside the palace gate while you follow the girl into the palace."
Green Yi immediately shook his head like a rattle, "I can't do it, I can't do it, it's better if you follow the girl in."
Zi Yan looked at Nanny Wu again as if asking for help.
Aunt Wu shook her head, "You'd better follow the girl in!"
Zi Yan smiled bitterly, "No one is taking such a good job. You guys are really..." You are so unmotivated.
Li Maner snickered, thinking that after all he was a servant of the Hou Mansion, why was he so cowardly?
The carriage drove slowly towards the imperial city and was stopped outside the palace gate.
When one of the foreman's guards saw the carriage belonging to Marquis Tiedan's residence, he immediately asked, "She is the eldest girl from Marquis Tiedan's residence."
"Exactly, my girl entered the palace on the orders of the Queen Mother."
There is already a father-in-law waiting at the palace gate.
"Come with us."
Li Man'er nodded slightly, and Zi Yan stuffed the turquoise-colored purse she had prepared long ago into the hand of the father-in-law who was leading the way, "Thank you, father-in-law."
