The Royal Highness - C11
In the end, the Queen arrived, but only Zhou Huai hurried over with his head lowered, saying that the Emperor was busy and would not be able to come.
Although things were a bit awkward in the morning, the empress was unreasonably filial to her birth mother. On the contrary, the empress dowager felt that her son had wronged her when she heard that the emperor had forbidden her mother from entering the palace.
The empress dowager leisurely ate the food in the bowl, then motioned for the empress to sit down and have a meal as well. She absent-mindedly asked about the empress’s past life.
She did not need to think about what she had said. She simply outlined the scenery of the village for the empress dowager, and told her to eat to her heart’s content, which was better than her usual appetite.
The empress dowager sighed. “A child like you doesn’t recognize strangers. This is the first time we’ve met, and it seems like we’ve known each other for many years.”
“Please forgive me mother,” she said sincerely. “This concubine has accompanied grandmother for eighteen years, but now we are suddenly separated. I can’t help but worry about you. Seeing mother’s body, even she has the same temperament as grandmother, so I unconsciously put my thoughts on you.”
The empress dowager sighed with emotion, “I heard that the Prime Minister’s House’s people took you in and left the same day. Although you were going to get married sooner or later, the empress dowager definitely didn’t expect it to be like this. It would be better if you could bring the madame back to the capital in a few years, and it would be easier for you two to meet each other. ”
Maid Lin quietly left the room. Indeed, Eunuch Zhou was still outside the door when he said in annoyance, “Since the emperor is busy, why don’t you go serve him?”
Zhou Huai smiled awkwardly, “Grandma, you know …”
“What do I know?”
“This …” Zhou Huai pursed his lips, stepped forward and softly said, “This servant wants to see the scenery here, so that I can go back and tell the emperor.”
Maid Lin looked at the door and saw that the two of them were laughing happily. She shook the silk on his arms and said to Zhou Huai: “Go tell the Emperor that Esteemed Empress Dowager is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law of his. “Esteemed Empress is an extremely intelligent person.”
