During the family dinner in the evening, the Empress Dowager came early and waited at her seat for a long time. She waited for the Emperor and Shui Guiren, but even when the banquet started, Xiyu was not waiting.
He asked Ling Yifeng doubtfully: "Your Majesty, is Yu'er feeling unwell? The banquet has started, why haven't you come yet?"
Ling Yifeng put down her chopsticks and saw Eunuch Lan kneeling on the ground and saying: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... it's your servant who is not good and made the princess unhappy, so... so..."
Ling Yifeng sighed and said, "Forget it, let her have a good rest."
Shui Xinlan thought that the emperor would blame Xiyu for not coming, but she didn't expect that he would just forget it and pretend that nothing happened. Xiao Mingzi got injured from nowhere, and walked up behind Shui Xinlan obediently. Shui Xinlan.
Xinlan looked at his injuries and asked, "Xiao Mingzi, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Mingzi lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes with both hands, as if he didn't dare to say anything. The Empress Dowager looked uncomfortable and asked: "Xiao Mingzi, your master is asking you, how are you acting coquettishly?"
"
Xiao Mingzi knelt on the ground with a pop, and shed a few tears and said: "Empress Dowager, it's not a good thing to be a slave. Seeing that you were waiting for the princess to have dinner, but she couldn't wait, so she went to invite the princess on her own initiative, without thinking...
…I didn’t expect that…just…”
The Queen Mother sent Xiao Mingzi away without giving him a chance to continue. The Queen Mother looked at Ling Yifeng and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong with this Yu'er? It's like she's a different person."
Shui Xinlan walked to the side of the Empress Dowager, and while helping the Empress Dowager to beat her back, she said: "Empress Dowager, your health is very important, don't get angry because of the eldest master's random temper. Yichen, I see, the eldest son is in trouble."
The princess may not be able to accept the death of the queen. After some time, she will get used to it and she will be fine."
The Empress Dowager nodded, hoping that was the case. Ling Yifeng drank a glass of wine and said lightly: "Does the Empress Dowager know about the escape of the craftsmen from Xindu?"
The Empress Dowager sighed, she had heard a little bit about this matter, but she was not sure what it was like. After all, no one had seen it with their own eyes. Shui Xinlan continued to beat the Empress Dowager on the back and said: "Otherwise, the Emperor will do it himself
Going and taking a look can also appease the mood of the remaining craftsmen."
The Empress Dowager agreed and said: "What Xinlan said is good, but you need to bring a few people with you for protection. The new capital is strong, and I don't know if other enemy countries may have any hidden agendas."
After a full sleep, Xiyu's stomach was upset. Xiao Tao ran in as if she had lost her soul, gesticulating with her hands, but she was speechless because she ran too fast.
Xiyu poured a glass of water for her. After Xiaotao drank it, she said: "Princess, your Majesty... Your Majesty... there is a family banquet tonight."
Xiyu didn't care at all. She poured a glass of water for herself and said calmly: "It's okay. Even if we go now, the family dinner will be over soon. It seems that Eunuch Lan came here today to inform me of this matter.
It's a pity that I beat him away."
Xiao Tao was discouraged and sat down on the chair and said: "Princess, I'm convinced by you. I've come to invite you with good intentions, but you actually beat me away without even giving me a chance to speak."
"It doesn't matter, I don't want to go anyway."
Xiao Tao just felt dizzy now. The Shui nobleman was now blatantly framing the princess. She couldn't swallow this breath, so she said the news she had just received: "No, the maid who was serving the Queen Mother just now said
