Yang Zhao could only tell what he heard at that time.
At this time, a lady at the back also spoke up: "I have heard about this matter as well. It seems that when His Royal Highness Prince Yi just returned to the capital, there was a woman who had been childless for many years. She knelt down in front of the Prince Yi in the street and prayed for the Buddha's blessing to have a child. The Prince Yi immediately gave her a stone. A few days after she returned, the woman became pregnant. I heard that the doctor said that she was carrying twins..."
“Twins?”
"Oh my god, is it really that effective?"
The eyes of several noble ladies present lit up, and there seemed to be a glimmer of eagerness to try in their eyes.
Upon hearing the voice, Princess Yu glanced at the lady who spoke.
She was an elderly lady who was not particularly outstanding, and she was accompanied by a well-behaved and docile young girl. The girl was not particularly good-looking either, but was very pretty.
Seeing Princess Yuchang looking at her, the older lady immediately raised a flattering and excited smile, and quickly nudged the girl next to her with her hand. The girl understood and immediately put on a flattering smile as well.
The mother and daughter had almost identical smiles.
"Whose lady is that?" Princess Yuchang tilted her head slightly and asked Aunt Hua beside her.
Aunt Hua took a look and quickly replied respectfully, "Your Highness, that is the wife of the Minister of the Imperial Household."
Although Taipu Temple is one of the nine temples.
However, the Imperial Household Department was responsible for the management of carriages, horses, and livestock, and among the nine temples, it was not considered particularly prestigious. Therefore, among the other noble ladies, she and her daughter were always at the tail end of the carriage, following behind.
Princess Yuchang glanced at the mother and daughter who were smiling in a flattering and fawning manner, then she looked away.
"Okay, let's go."
Princess Yuchang took Yang Zhao and continued to go to Cining Palace.
When Yang Zhao was being pulled away by Princess Yu, he couldn't help but take another look at the mother and daughter behind him.
Madam Taifusi, if she remembered correctly, was a daughter from the Zhenguogong Mansion. Although they were from a side branch, she had seen this mother and daughter in her previous life. That comeback move was so heroic...
Now he looks... flattering and fawning.
It's weird no matter how you look at it!!!
…
In the Cining Palace.
A palace maid hurried into the room and whispered something in Su Ma's ear. Su Ma then put down what she was doing and quickly walked into the inner hall. She said to Empress Dowager Bai, who was practicing Tai Chi, "My Lord, they are here. They say the eldest princess is here too."
Empress Dowager Bai, who had just slowly thrown a punch, paused.
Then the old queen stood up, took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said to Su Ma, "Go and call someone to come in and put makeup on me."
After a while.
An old lady with a slightly haggard face appeared. Empress Dowager Bai also changed into a plainer dress and held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand.
"My whole body is hot after boxing. When that girl Ayu comes, she will definitely grab my hand and go get some ice..." Empress Dowager Bai thought for a while and gave the order.
Nanny Su disagreed.
"Master, you've finally recovered, how can you use ice? How about this, I'll have someone bring you a hot water bottle to hold, so that even if your hands are a little warm, it won't be a problem."
"Alright."
So when Princess Yuchang and others arrived at the Cining Palace, they saw Empress Dowager Bai holding a hot water bottle, half leaning on a soft couch, and four strands of sandalwood were lit in the room.
"Your humble servant greets the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."
A group of noble ladies came to pay their respects.
There were quite a lot of people coming, and they all stood at the door of the outer room, led by Princess Yuchang.
In fact, for ordinary banquets, these ladies can just go to the banquet and wait.
But this time, the whole group of people were brought here by Princess Yuchang.
Empress Dowager Bai was not surprised.
She glanced at the group of women who were curtsying, and a gentle smile appeared on her slightly haggard face: "Alright, everyone stand up."
"Mother, why do you look so bad?" Princess Yu Chang walked to the side of Queen Mother Bai, and indeed, she held Queen Mother Bai's hand, sat down beside her, and looked worried.
Hearing this, Queen Mother Bai smiled and patted her hand, "It's okay."
Princess Yuchang looked at Nanny Su beside her, frowned, and asked, "Nanny Su, what's wrong with Mother? Have you asked the imperial physician to see her?"
No one present dared to say a word.
Nanny Su glanced at Empress Dowager Bai before she softly said, "Your Majesty, this is because you haven't slept well for several days. His Majesty has already sent for the imperial physician, who prescribed some tranquilizers, but..."
Princess Yu frowned slightly: "Just what?"
Nanny Su looked as if she didn't dare to say anything.
Finally, Empress Dowager Bai spoke helplessly, "Please don't make things difficult for Madam Su. Even the imperial physician can't diagnose this. I've been dreaming about the late emperor every night for the past two weeks."
The late emperor?
Everyone present was stunned.
Then they all lowered their heads, not daring to look or listen any further.
The only exception was Xiao Xier beside Yang Zhao. After she entered the room, her nose twitched, and then her eyes were fixed on Empress Dowager Bai on the couch... and the incense burner beside her.
The eyes flashed.
But his eyes were extremely pure.
But the little guy was very well behaved and didn't say a word.
Her nose kept moving from time to time, and then she looked at Empress Dowager Bai and the incense burner again. Her little hand unconsciously tightened around her aunt's hand and she shrank behind her.
Yang Zhao lowered his head slightly.
But she was always paying attention to Xiao Xier's reaction.
He didn't miss her unusual reaction.
But in the current situation, she could only stand quietly with her head lowered like everyone else.
Princess Yu was slightly stunned. "Father?"
"Um!"
Old Empress Dowager Bai nodded slightly, a trace of helplessness on her rather haggard face as she spoke, "Your father has been gone for almost twenty years now, and he's never been able to enter my dreams. But for the past half month, he's been coming into my dreams every night... Every night he comes, he doesn't say a word, just stares straight at me."
Everyone present: ...
"How can I sleep if he stares at me like that every night?" said Queen Mother Bai.
I've been dreaming about someone for almost half a month, and he was staring at me.
It’s creepy just thinking about it!
No wonder the empress dowager has such heavy bags under her eyes on her haggard face!
I guess he was really scared!!
Empress Dowager Bai sighed, "I had no choice but to ask Abbot Wuji of the Imperial Temple to interpret the dream. Abbot Wuji said that the late emperor was blaming me! He said that his favorite grandson and youngest son were still unmarried at such an old age."
"But you also know what kind of personality Yun'er has."
"I haven't seen him in years, and even if I did, I wouldn't talk about getting him married. He's finally back this time, and if I don't find him a wife quickly, he'll probably fly away again."
"As for Seventeen...he's even more difficult to deal with."
