"What's that noise?"
Empress Dowager Du has not come out since she moved into Shoukang Palace. She feels weak and her mind is sometimes dizzy.
Suddenly I heard a sound coming from outside the window, and my mind instantly became clear.
Yun Gu left for a moment and came back, "It's the sound of the zither, coming from the East Palace. All the birds in the palace have flown there."
Empress Dowager Du hurried out and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, there were hundreds of birds flying around the East Palace, which was a beautiful sight.
"My lady, do you smell the scent of that fragrant dew?"
Empress Dowager Du took a deep breath and smelled a faint scent of Xihanxiang, which made her feel relaxed all over. She had only smelled it in the East Palace before. "Little Xier has come to Shoukang Palace?"
"Princess Qilin didn't come." Fu Xuan responded quickly.
"Prepare a car to go to the East Palace."
When Empress Dowager Du was halfway through her journey, the music of the two zithers ended. The birds flying over the East Palace were reluctant to leave and kept chirping.
[Master, Master, listen carefully, we want to listen again...]
The koi fish in the lotus pond popped their heads out. "Master, can you please have the Empress and the Lady of Yaohua perform a song together? In exchange, we'll voluntarily roll into the frying pan. Is that okay?"
Xiao Xier pursed her lips and smiled, then whispered something in Xiao Lingyu's ear.
Xiao Lingyu's beautiful eyes lit up, "Yaohua, let's play one more song. It's lunchtime."
"good."
When the second piano piece started, Shangguan Mochen was in a good mood that could not be expressed in words.
His granddaughter-in-law is a real treasure.
When Empress Dowager Du arrived at the Eastern Palace, she did not inform the palace maids and led Yun Gu and others directly to the back garden.
It was actually a duet between two people!
Empress Dowager Du looked at the ancient Xiyin in front of Xiao Lingyu, and her eyes quickly locked on the guqin in front of Lu Yao.
Empress Dowager Du was shocked. How could the ancient sound appear in the palace?
He has been missing for a long time.
No wonder the sound of the piano is so refreshing, this is the double beauty of the piano music!
The music soon ended, and when everyone was still lingering, Empress Dowager Du's voice rang out, "Xiao Yu'er, your piano skills are becoming more and more exquisite."
"Greetings to the Grand Empress Dowager..." Shangguan Mochen did not salute except Shangguan Lan, while everyone else present saluted.
Empress Dowager Du hurriedly helped Xiao Lingyu up and exempted everyone from formalities.
"Grandmother, this is all thanks to the ancient Xiyin and the ancient Yiyin."
"I remember that the ancient sound has long been missing."
Xiao Lingyu said, "This ancient relic was discovered when the Cui family was raided. County Princess Yaohua is very talented at playing the zither, so I gave it to her. We even played it together before coming to Beijing, and today is the second time."
Empress Dowager Du glanced at Lu Yao. She was actually given the title of Princess Yaohua County, but she, the Empress Dowager, knew nothing about it.
The merchant family Lu produced a marquis and a county lady, and the master has accumulated great virtue.
"I've been feeling weak and dizzy since I went to Shoukang Palace. But after listening to the music today, I feel much more refreshed and no longer tired. When you have time, ask Princess Yaohua to come to Shoukang Palace more often, and you can bring the children along too..."
Shangguan Mochen stared at Empress Dowager Du with a fierce look, wishing he could chop the old woman to pieces with a knife!
She also wants his granddaughter-in-law to play the piano for her!
dream!
The Empress Dowager had noticed him a long time ago, but she didn't expect that after her son left, her father would come again.
It's so annoying!
Without even glancing at him, she dragged Xiao Lingyu and the others towards the dining hall, saying as she walked, "It's time for lunch, the Empress Dowager is also having lunch here..."
Shangguan Mochen and his wife followed behind, their brows furrowed so tightly that they could crush someone to death.
"It's not okay for both mother and son to be in the palace!"
"Madam, don't worry. Feng Yanzhi will not be able to bear my constant disturbance in the Yangxin Palace. She will soon want to leave the palace and choose a quiet place."
Shangguan Lan was a little worried, "Bring more people with you when you go, be careful not to get hurt."
Shangguan Mochen soothed her, "Madam, don't worry. He can't hurt me. As for his mother..."
"After Feng Yanzhi left the palace, Ah Yi should have made proper arrangements for her for Rui'an..."
[Master, Master] The little yellow oriole happily flew onto Xiao Xier's shoulder.
Xiao Xier glanced at the old couple following behind her from a distance and muttered to herself, "What do my great-grandparents think of Empress Dowager Du?"
...The little oriole chirped for a while and then flew to the Yangxin Palace.
At night, Su Xingyi came to the Yangxin Palace to change the medicine for the retired emperor.
"Father, I have to attend a grand court meeting tomorrow, so I can't come to change your dressing. If the swelling doesn't go down by tomorrow, I'll have to ask the imperial physician to come and see you."
"Oh, okay."
Feng Yanzhi was a little dazed looking at Su Xingyi's eyes which looked very similar to Shangguan Ruian's.
"Today, I told my grandfather that Duke Du was responsible for the death of our mother, and asked him not to come to the Yangxin Palace to bother my father. My grandfather also promised me that he would not come again. My father can now rest assured and recuperate in the Yangxin Palace."
Feng Yanzhi's face suddenly twitched in pain when he thought of Shangguan Mochen. His words wouldn't work!
"Father understands. You should go back and rest early. You have to attend the court meeting tomorrow."
Before leaving, Su Xingyi called Chen Shuai and Nie Ying to his side, gave them some detailed instructions, and then returned to the East Palace.
"Your Majesty, the tranquilizing soup is ready to drink."
Feng Yanzhi drank the calming soup and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After the emperor fell asleep, Li Haiying turned around and walked out. As he closed the door, a strange fragrance wafted past his nose.
Li Haiying's eyes lit up, and he heaved a long sigh before closing the inner room door contentedly and leaving.
Half an incense stick later, Feng Yanzhi, who was sleeping peacefully on the dragon couch, showed fear on his face, cold sweat on his forehead, and he grabbed his neck with both hands.
"No, don't come over here. It wasn't me who harmed you, it was Duke Du who harmed you. It has nothing to do with me!"
