Concubine Chun glanced at her and said, "Even if the Empress Dowager didn't say so, just kneel down."
Concubine Rou: ...
Concubine Hui sighed, "How long do we have to kneel?"
This had never happened before. They would come to see the Queen Mother, pay their respects, and then go back.
After a while, the palace gate opened again, and it was the old lady who came out again. "Everyone, go back. The Queen Mother said that this is the way it will be this year. I wish you all a happy new year. The Queen Mother has heard the wishes of all the queens."
The concubines are going to explode.
"Ah, you're going back now? We didn't even get to see the Queen Mother."
The old lady smiled faintly, "The Queen Mother is busy playing with the little princess, and the weather is so cold, I'm afraid everyone will freeze to death, so forget it, ladies, please go back."
"No, with such a group of people, how can the little princess enter Cining Palace?" a young and ignorant concubine murmured.
Many concubines of lower status wanted to show their faces in front of the empress dowager on the first day of the new year to increase their chances of winning favor in the future.
After all, the Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother, and one word from her is worth ten years of fighting for his favor!
The old lady immediately drooped her face, "I am the tenth princess, are you?"
"Grandma, I also want to go in and see the Empress Dowager. I brought her a New Year gift. I..." Seeing this opportunity, Di Hongluan hurried forward and tugged at the corner of the old grandmother's clothes.
Grandma Huang will definitely like this gift.
What about the Buddhist scriptures she copied by hand?
"Is it the little princess?"
"Grandma, I want to go in and personally deliver the New Year's gift to Grandma Huang."
The old lady frowned, "My little princess, the Queen Mother is not going to see anyone today."
"But the emperor's younger sister went in. If she could go in, why couldn't I?"
This really caught my grandmother's attention.
The little princess used to seem quite quiet and sensible, but why is it that the little princess I saw these few times seems a bit aggressive despite her young age?
"We are both of royal blood. If the royal sister can enter, then I can enter as well."
"Little Princess, that's not what you say." She is a little princess and you are a little princess, how can it be the same?
If you are not destined to be a princess, you cannot suffer from princess syndrome.
Di Hongluan didn't care. She had prepared this gift for several days, waiting to show off in the palace on New Year's Day. Especially in front of Di Jiaoyang, what's so great about a princess? She is the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager. After all, she is still a county princess!
snort.
Seeing that Di Hongluan was becoming more and more ignorant, the old grandmother did not say much due to Di Hongluan's status. In addition, it was the first day of the new year and her nagging would affect the New Year atmosphere, so she quickly asked Princess Han to come out and take Di Hongluan away.
Before leaving, Di Hongluan refused to give in and insisted on giving the gift he had prepared to his grandmother.
"Luan'er, you can't make trouble on New Year's Day." Princess Han comforted Emperor Hongluan on the way.
Di Hongluan was furious, "Grandma is biased, she likes the princess and not the county lady. Mother, was Dad a fool back then? Why did he give up the throne and become a hostage in place of Uncle Huang? If Uncle Huang had been the hostage, then Dad would be the emperor now and I would be the princess."
"Luan'er!" Princess Han glared at her and looked around. Fortunately, the palace was quiet and no maids or eunuchs could hear her. "How can you keep saying these things?"
Di Hongluan curled his lips, "I just don't accept it."
She was the heroine, where did her halo go? Even meeting an empress was such a hassle, this was a little different from what Di Hongluan had imagined a heroine to be, and she couldn't stand the gap of being ignored.
She felt that since she was the chosen one, everything should go according to the script and she would become the object of crazy protection by all the big guys in the world.
What went wrong?
Is it because I haven’t met the male lead yet?
"But I will find a way to get what belongs to me. I will never give anything away like my father did in the past, suffering myself and benefiting others! The gift I give to the Empress Dowager today will definitely please her. Mother, let's go back to the Han Palace first. Maybe the Empress Dowager will come to see me in person later."
Princess Han was surprised, "Can that Buddhist scripture really please the Queen Mother?"
"Mom, please believe me. No one knows the preferences of the Empress Dowager better than me."
It would be so easy for her to control the Empress Dowager!
Unlike that idiot Di Jiuyang, who spends the whole day either crying or eating, just like a little piglet, so annoying.
In the Cining Palace, Abao was held in the Queen Mother's arms, snoring and falling asleep.
The old grandmother watched from the side, "Empress Dowager, the little princess is the cutest child I have ever seen." After so many years in the palace, she has experienced many ups and downs, two generations of emperors, and has seen all kinds of princes, including when the eldest princess was born, but none of them was as lovable as Princess Abao.
Looking at the little girl in her arms, the Queen Mother was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, "Abao is different from other children."
On her birthday, Abao wished her a happy birthday, and in her dreams, he cured her of illness and brought her good fortune and longevity. She remembered it all clearly. Although it was just a dream, she firmly believed that she could live to this day because of Abao's blessing.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, she had been thinking about meeting Abao. This little girl brought her new life.
"What are you holding in your hand?" The Queen Mother saw the box in the grandmother's hand.
"It's a gift from the little princess to the Queen Mother."
"That child... is thoughtful." The Queen Mother smiled, "Show it to me."
When the box was opened, it turned out to be a Buddhist scripture. The Queen Mother was already numb.
This...giving away Buddhist scriptures on the first day of the new year???
But considering that it was the first gift sent by her eldest granddaughter, the Queen Mother still picked up the Buddhist scripture. It seemed to be hand-copied, which was quite thoughtful. When she opened the first page, the three big characters "Ksitigarbha Sutra" appeared in front of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's arms trembled, "Oh my God, this child!"
Most of the contents in the Ksitigarbha Sutra are used for salvation.
The old lady was also shocked when she saw this, "Empress Dowager, what???"
"This kid wants to send me away during the New Year!"
Who sends the Ksitigarbha Sutra and the Sutra of Salvation on the first day of the new year? These are sent to the dying people.
The old lady quickly put the things away, and kept muttering: "Queen Dowager, please calm down. The little princess may be young and ignorant. This..."
I really can't explain it.
This is like giving a birthday dress to an old lady on New Year's Day. The meaning is...
