Chapter 1162 If you are pleased with me, then breathe 16
"Ah Qiong is back. Did Xuan He make things difficult for you?" After these past few days of headaches, the Empress Dowager had come to understand that when talking to a young girl, one should be straightforward.
Instead of asking about what's happening outside the palace, you won't get an answer from that.
Song Jinhuan stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "There's no trouble."
"Elder Xuan was very kind today and accompanied me for a stroll around the streets for a while."
The Empress Dowager asked in surprise, "Want me to go shopping with you?"
Song Jinhuan nodded with her clear, bright eyes, "Yes! I bought a lot of things!"
The Empress Dowager began to ask questions again, with a hint of guidance: "Do you know why Xuanhe was willing to accompany you shopping?"
“He offended my daughter yesterday, and this is his way of apologizing.”
Otherwise, they wouldn't have insisted on getting forgiveness when they left.
Song Jinhuan's tone was one of self-righteousness and confidence.
A shadow fell over the Empress Dowager's eyes. She closed them briefly to calm herself, then rubbed her temples and changed the subject, asking, "Did you enjoy your shopping?"
Will Xuanhe apologize?
That's absolutely hilarious!
From the moment he embarked on his official career, his arrogance was well-known!
He'd take your life if he wanted it, to the point where you'd have to kneel down and beg him to take it away.
Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep soundly.
"happy!"
With a smile on his face, Song Jinhuan hesitated for a moment, then took out a rectangular wooden box from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
Empress Dowager: "What is this?"
"This gold hairpin is for you."
The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, and she smiled at Zhang Mama, saying, "Look, she still knows how to be filial to me."
Granny Zhang stepped forward, took the wooden box, opened it, and presented it to the Empress Dowager.
A click of the tongue escaped from the Empress Dowager's mouth.
"Too plain, and the workmanship is a bit rough."
They'll just blurt out anything they don't like.
Song Jinhuan pursed her lips, looking rather displeased, and said, "Empress Dowager, would you please not?"
When the Empress Dowager met her clear, unwavering gaze, she coughed lightly, feeling somewhat guilty. She then casually pulled a beautiful and luxurious phoenix hairpin from her hair and gave Zhang Mama a wink.
Granny Zhang immediately stepped forward, inserted the hairpin for her, and exclaimed "wonderful!" several times.
The Empress Dowager then glanced at her and said, "I just didn't want to hurt the feelings of the younger generation."
Anyone with eyes could see that the gold hairpin was completely out of place with the Empress Dowager's attire today.
The Empress Dowager, who always valued phoenix-like appearance, was visibly pleased after putting on the gold hairpin.
Song Jinhuan withdrew from Cining Palace.
Lin Wenyao's aggrieved voice came from inside.
She entered the Imperial Study today, but was inexplicably punished by the Empress to kneel for an hour.
The emperor, meanwhile, indulged them.
The Empress Dowager listened quietly to her grievances, then said impatiently, "If I have to handle everything myself, what use are you all?"
Lin Wenyao: "But my cousin only has eyes for the Empress."
The Empress Dowager scoffed lightly, "When the late emperor was still the crown prince, he only had eyes for the crown princess. After he ascended the throne and took in many concubines, he gradually began to have eyes for other people. Every time, the late emperor seemed to be especially devoted to her."
"The reason I was able to become Empress Dowager in the end is that I happened to be the woman the late emperor loved before he died."
A man will only want to offer the best of everything to the woman he loves.
The emperor's exclusive affection?
If you can get five years of exclusive favor, you're lucky to be alive.
Lin Wenyao and Lin Yaning were horrified. Was it something they could listen to about the late emperor?
The two of them wished they could bury their heads in the ground.
The Empress Dowager utterly despised their cowardice. "Go down. Don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future."
Can't we just have a good fight?
After the two left Cining Palace and walked quite a distance, Lin Yaning lowered her voice and said, "Eldest sister, do you feel that Aunt is biased towards second sister?"
Lin Wenyao glanced at her.
Lin Yaning continued, "If Second Sister goes to the Imperial Study today, it will be Second Sister who is punished."
