Queen Mother, do you want to see her?
In fact, with her current status, she first broke off the engagement with the King of Qi and made a big fuss, and now she is the future Regent Princess. It is not surprising that the Queen Mother wants to see her and is curious about her.
But, Baili Feiyue really does not have a good impression of the people of the Changsun royal family for some unknown reason.
He squinted his eyes and looked over, and his father's gaze met.
"Jing'er, come here."
Baili Feiyue walked over and said calmly, "Eunuch, I wonder what the Queen Mother wants to tell me about?"
The eunuch smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager heard that Miss Ling San would also come to the Qionglin Banquet today, and she wanted to see you. Miss Ling San, the Empress Dowager is still waiting."
Hear?
Funny. Even if this Qionglin Banquet was a disguised blind date for others, she didn't need to go on a blind date, but the imperial edict clearly stated that every young lady in the Ling Mansion, including Ling Yanran, didn't need to go on a blind date. Did she hear that?
This is the empress dowager’s son. This is a direct decree from Emperor Jingdi, okay?
Before Baili Feiyue could say anything, Ling Sheng frowned slightly and said, "It has been a long time since I last paid my respects to the Queen Mother. Jing'er, I will go with you to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
The eunuch was in a dilemma. "General, this..."
"Dad, you should stay with my ninth brother." Baili Feiyue was surprised that Ling Sheng, who was so loyal to the emperor and patriotic, could still spare such a little thought. Was he worried that the Queen Mother would embarrass her?
However, no matter how you think about it, the focus of today's Qionglin Banquet should be on Ling Duannian.
Even if the Queen Mother wanted to make things difficult for her, she would not do anything to her. But Ling Duannian was different.
She and her father Ling Sheng both knew in their hearts that the previous investigation into the murder of the descendants of the Ling family was not over yet.
Although it cannot be said that the hand may be related to the palace, today is the first time that Ling Duannian appears in public. Moreover, in a place like the palace, there are countless bones and every step is frightening, so it is better to be careful.
Ling Sheng must have thought of something after Baili Feiyue's reminder. He glanced at her and said to the chief eunuch, "Eunuch Xu, I will pay my respects to the Empress Dowager in a moment. Jing'er doesn't quite understand the rules, so if there's anything, I hope you can give me some pointers."
"Don't worry, General. This is my job."
The Queen Mother only summoned Baili Feiyue, and Yinhuan and Suyi were not allowed to follow.
Baili Feiyue was on guard against any unexpected events along the way, but surprisingly, nothing happened.
The style of Ci'an Palace where the Empress Dowager lived was different from other places and it was very elegant and quiet.
Such elegance and tranquility, when she saw the people in the Queen Mother's room, the corners of Baili Feiyue's lips curled up secretly and wickedly under her veil.
It's really lively.
There were all kinds of women in the room. Judging from their appearance, there were concubines and princesses.
Some of the concubines looked familiar to her, as she had seen them at the last palace banquet.
But today I didn’t see Consort Hui, my aunt. I didn’t see the Queen either. I didn’t see Consort Shu, the mother of Princess Ningyang either.
"Your Majesty, Third Miss Ling is here."
Baili Feiyue walked in calmly, facing several scrutinizing glances, and bowed gracefully, "May the Empress Dowager be well."
"Finally I see you. Look up and let me see you."
Baili Feiyue raised her head slowly as she was told. The empress dowager she saw, no matter how well she had taken care of herself and looked in good spirits, was just a standard old lady with a head full of silver hair. She just looked more amiable and noble than the average old lady.
There is also a kind of invisible pressure unique to those in a higher position in his noble aura.
She looked at the Queen Mother calmly, and the Queen Mother was also looking at her. She was very satisfied with the way she looked left and right. "Very good, very good. Someone, please take a seat." She added, "The seat will be arranged next to me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the women in the room became very subtle.
The young eunuch quickly arranged the seats, and Baili Feiyue sat slightly to the lower right of the empress dowager amid those subtle gazes.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
As she sat down, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on her again, "I heard that you opened a clinic?"
What is going on?
Baili Feiyue remained calm and said, "Your Highness, the clinic was left to me by the previous owner."
"The owner of the museum is also very discerning." The Queen Mother laughed, then sighed, and suddenly reached out to hold Baili Feiyue's hand, "I was a little worried at first, but after meeting you, I feel relieved. The emperor's arranged marriage this time is finally not ridiculous."
To be honest, she was really not used to having her hand held.
Baili Feiyue lowered her eyes.
The Queen Mother patted her hands gently and said, "Now, I can rest assured to set a wedding date for you and the Regent."
Baili Feiyue, who had been watching the empress dowager's performance, felt sick when he heard this.
Is this really the case?
Baili Feiyue was really speechless.
Suddenly, a sweet laugh was heard, and a concubine covered her mouth. "Empress Dowager, if you say anything more, Miss Ling will be so embarrassed that she will die."
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Why should you be shy about this? When a girl grows up, she will always marry someone. I will ask her to choose a day that they like, so that I don't end up with bad intentions and choose a day that I don't like. That would be ugly."
"You are right, Queen Mother. It is such an honor for you to choose the date in person."
"Third girl Ling, don't listen to her. Come and tell me what you think. Do you have a date you like?" The empress dowager cast her kind gaze on Baili Feiyue again.
Her favorite day?
She raised her eyes, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes outside the veil. Since he knew what kind of person she was and still said that she would be embarrassed to death, she might as well be shy.
"For matters like this... let's listen to the prince's opinion. I am a woman and don't have any ideas."
Think she's stupid?
Who does she think she is? Ask her opinion? If she really said a date, others would probably laugh their teeth off. The queen mother looked quite kind, but she was quietly setting a trap for her?
Not to mention that she had never thought of marrying Changsun Wuji. Even if she really wanted to marry him, anyone who fell into this trap would be a fool!
As expected, when Baili Feiyue said this, the Queen Mother's hand holding her stiffened slightly, and then loosened up so quickly that it seemed like an illusion. "You kid... forget it, forget it. Then I will pick a few days and send someone to send it to the Regent's Palace. After the Regent has chosen, I will send it to the General's Palace for you to choose."
Baili Feiyue smiled appropriately and somewhat shyly, without commenting on the matter. She simply said, "Empress Dowager, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. Otherwise, if my father really comes to pick me up later, I will be unfilial."
"Haha, General Ling has always been a man who loves his children. I know that you young people don't like to sit with me, so go ahead. Today is the Qionglin Banquet, there are many young people, let's have some fun."
"I'll take my leave."
Baili Feiyue performed all the necessary courtesies and left Ci'an Palace without giving any more.
After coming out, the fake smile in his eyes completely disappeared.
As expected, there were few people in the Changsun royal family that she liked.
