"It's not you. You wrote that imperial edict long ago and put it in the father-in-law's place. You will only take it out when Guan Mansion marries Xian Zi Ai." Princess Xuan immediately smiled and said, "Poor Zi Jian, this girl doesn't know yet.
What's going on? She was brought here from her sister's wedding, knelt outside for most of the day, and then locked up all night. It's really pitiful."
The Queen Mother seemed to suddenly realize it, and said with a smile: "The Ai family is really old and confused."
Xian Ziqian felt that Princess Xuan glanced at her, and there was a very slight cough that only she could hear. It was very slight, so slight that it gave a sense of drowsiness. She was about to raise her head to look at Princess Xuan, but found that Xuan
The princess had already passed by her, and the skirt of her skirt seemed to have inadvertently brushed against her hand on the ground.
"Maybe this is the fate of this girl." Princess Xuan said seemingly unintentionally.
Xian Ziqian immediately understood that Princess Xuan was reminding her to try her best to please the Queen Mother in front of her. After calming down her mind, Xian Ziqian followed Princess Xuan's words: "If it hadn't been for what happened yesterday, Ziqian would have stayed with her for the rest of her life.
I'm afraid I won't get the chance to see the Queen Mother, the palace, and the parrot."
It was an ordinary sentence, but because of the last sentence, the Queen Mother's lips had a slight smile. It seemed that she took a closer look at Xian Zijian and said with a bit of majesty: "Get up, yesterday must have been...
Kneeling is very hard, isn't it?"
Xian Zijian hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the truth: "The ground here is very hard, harder than the ground at our house, but the scenery is really nice. I just saw that there are many plants planted in the Queen Mother's yard, and some of them are not even visible.
I’ve seen it before, it’s really beautiful.”
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "This girl is more honest than her sister. Come, please sit down."
Someone set up a chair from the side. Xian Ziqian did not dare to sit down completely, but only sat on it slightly. Her body was still tight, and she did not dare to look around. She could not look at the Queen Mother and Princess Xuan, so she had to sit with her head slightly lowered and quietly.
Listen to the speeches of the Queen Mother and Princess Xuan.
Next, the Queen Mother and Princess Xuan stopped talking about her affairs. They only talked about some trivial matters about the family life. Most of them were talked about by the Queen Mother. Princess Xuan was listening. After sitting there for an hour, Princess Xuan looked at the Queen Mother looking a little tired.
As expected, he stood up and left immediately.
"The Ai family is indeed a little tired. You can go back." The Queen Mother did not stay with Princess Xuan anymore, and then looked at Xian Zijian, who had been sitting there without daring to move, "This girl will stay here first, and wait for the Ai family to ask questions."
Let her go back after you understand the reason."
"Okay." Princess Xuan immediately said with a smile, "How lucky this girl must be to be able to catch the Queen Mother's eyes and ask her to stay. Miss Xian, you have to answer the Queen Mother carefully.
The queen’s inquiry.”
"Yes." Xian Ziqian immediately got up from the chair, knelt down again and sent Princess Xuan away.
After Princess Xuan left, the Empress Dowager did not immediately ask Xian Zijian to get up from the ground. Instead, she asked someone to make another pot of tea. Xian Zijian smelled from the fragrance of the tea that it was the finest Longjing tea.
When I returned home, I just shouted that the tea at home was very bad, and that the good stuff was still in the palace.
"What are you thinking about?" the Queen Mother suddenly asked Xian Zijian, who was lost in thought.
Xian Zijian was startled and immediately said: "Zijian is thinking that the Queen Mother drank the best Longjing."
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly and said slowly: "She has a sharp nose. Come on, give this girl a drink. She looks like an honest girl, but she can't see where she got Xuan Yi, who wants to be as smart as a monkey."
Such a foolish boy's heart would actually come to the Aijia for her sake."
Xian Zijia looked at the Queen Mother with confusion. She didn't think she had won the heart of Xuan Yi, who was as smart as a monkey. He only helped her out of the sake of her sister Xian Zijia, but when she looked up she immediately saw the Queen Mother.
The empress's eyes fell on her inquiringly, she breathed a sigh of relief, took the teacup handed over by the slave, and quickly relaxed her mood by tasting the tea.
"Does the tea taste good?" the Queen Mother seemed to be very kind and patient, and asked softly.
"It tastes very good."
I have been to the palace several times, and when I go back I often admire the many enviable people and things in the palace. Zijian has always been longing for it in my heart, and this tea is one of them. I am really happy to be able to taste it today."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "There aren't many outsiders. Come on, we just have a conversation with the Ai family."
Xian Ziqian thanked the Queen Mother and sat down on the chair again. She handed the teacup in her hand to the slave who had just handed her the teacup. The slave took the teacup and walked out. It must have been something that was used by outsiders and would not be left behind.
At the Queen Mother's place.
"I heard from the lady of the Guan family that your sister and Yi'er have a good relationship. Did Yi'er save you for your sister's sake?" The Queen Mother suddenly said with a gentle face, "The Yi family really didn't notice Yi'er.
What reason does he have for coming to beg the Aijia for your release?"
Xian Ziqian's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She remembered what Princess Xuan said when she left: Miss Xian, you must answer the Queen Mother's inquiry properly.
He said slowly: "Mr.
Please help Zi Qian get to know Mr. Xuan, Zi Qian has no other intention, she just wants to get to know Mr. Xuan, or maybe she can have a chance to say a word or two."
The Queen Mother smiled and looked at Xian Ziqian who looked slightly ashamed. It seemed that this girl was not lying. Mrs. Guan had always been dissatisfied with the emperor's choice of the wife for her son, although she did not dare not agree.
However, at her birthday banquet that day, she pretended to be unintentional and said something about Xian Ziyi and Xuan Yi's acquaintance. Listening to Mrs. Guan's tone at that time, it seemed that Xuan Yi and Xian Ziai had an affair.
"My sister must have begged my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law also begged Mr. Xuan because he was concerned about my sister's face." Xian Zijian spoke slowly with a thoughtful expression on her face, looking at the Queen Mother calmly all the time.
The Queen Mother's face was still very gentle. She looked at Xian Zijian and looked her up and down for a while, "You are a beautiful girl if you look closely. Your sister is naturally beautiful, but you are not far behind.
How about the Ai family act as a matchmaker for you and Yi'er and ask him to marry you?"
