Chapter 360 Speechless: Where is her fifty-meter scalpel?
Xiao Tang knew that the Empress Dowager would come looking for her.
She specially wore the Imperial Preceptor's vest today just so that the Empress Dowager would look for her.
She watched the villain walk further and further away before nodding to the eunuch.
Di Jingling stopped short of walking.
But Xiao Tang was no longer behind him.
Yang Defu said strangely, "The Empress Dowager has been quite busy lately, meeting with one person after another. After meeting with the Princess, she met with the Imperial Advisor. Is she trying to deal with you?"
"Even in the palace, you can't keep your mouth shut." Di Jingling glared at him disdainfully and walked away.
Yang Defu, who was just starting to get curious, was met with such a retort and chased after her with a bit of annoyance.
"Hey, hey, I'm just worried about you!"
...
Cihe Palace.
As soon as Xiao Tang entered the palace, she smelled a strong scent of cosmetics.
Of course, the scent of this cosmetic is different from that of those in brothels. Although you can tell it's expensive just by smelling it, it's still quite pungent.
What came into view was a lady and a young woman in a pink dress.
The girl was about the age of coming of age.
When the Empress Dowager saw Xiao Tang, she smiled and said, "The Imperial Advisor has arrived."
After Xiao Tang finished bowing, she saw the two women staring straight at her, especially the older woman, whose eyes looked just like those of a mother-in-law who had caught a rich husband.
she:……???
The woman addressed the Empress Dowager in a strange voice: "Empress Dowager, is this the Imperial Preceptor?"
"Yes, it is the Imperial Preceptor whom I mentioned to you."
I don't know what made this woman so happy, but she smiled and leaned closer to Xiao Tang.
Because of the close proximity, Xiao Tang could see the woman's aunt-like smile more clearly.
She applied her rouge and powder very heavily, giving her a rosy complexion reminiscent of the high-altitude region.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Tang's shoulder, then touched Xiao Tang's face.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
He praised her three times in a row.
Xiao Tang almost wanted to throw her out.
But I still held back.
This woman called the Empress Dowager "elder sister"?
It is understood that she knew that the Empress Dowager did not seem to have any biological sisters, only a few cousins. It seems that this one is one of her cousins?
The Empress Dowager's family background was ordinary, but now that she is the Empress Dowager of a country, her family has naturally become more prestigious.
The woman nodded and praised, "Excellent! A handsome and talented man, a pillar of the nation, he and my Xiaoxiao are a match made in heaven!"
Xiao Tang's eyebrows twitched several times upon hearing this.
The game is over!
Is the Empress Dowager going to arrange a marriage for her?
Her gaze suddenly fell on the girl's face.
The little girl seemed shy too; when she saw her gaze falling on her, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be shy.
His shy reaction suggests he's quite satisfied with her?
Xiao Tang's heart skipped a beat.
She forced a smile and said awkwardly, "No, Your Majesty, I..."
"Xiaoxiao, come here quickly and introduce yourself to the Imperial Advisor."
He Xiaoxiao was just an ordinary little girl. She was only a little hesitant at first, but when she heard her mother's words, a gentle smile bloomed on her face.
She curtsied gracefully, "Your Excellency, my name is He Xiaoxiao, and I am the Empress Dowager's niece..."
"etc!"
Xiao Tang was speechless.
She doesn't care or want to know what this girl's name is, okay?
She looked at the Empress Dowager in a daze and asked, puzzled, "Your Majesty, what...does this mean?"
Her voice betrayed a hint of feigned caution.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I noticed that the Imperial Preceptor has been living alone, which is not quite right. I just remembered my niece who is of marriageable age, so I thought I'd find you a match."
"..."
hehe.
She really has to thank this Empress Dowager!
Thinking about this makes me so angry I could grind my teeth.
But this young lady didn't seem to notice anything wrong with it.
She blinked and gave Xiao Tang a flirtatious look, "Your Excellency, ever since you became the Imperial Advisor, I have... secretly fallen in love with you."
Damn it...
Xiao Tang cursed inwardly.
She didn't intend to attract any suitors!
Moreover, the young woman openly confessed her feelings in front of the Empress Dowager, and she suddenly felt like an unlucky person.
Waaaaah, don't I look like a complete traitor?
Girl, please let me go. We're not right for each other.
But these words can only be thought in one's heart; one cannot actually say them out loud and reject the person.
He Xiaoxiao was so shy and hesitant that she almost swayed her body into Xiao Tang's arms.
"It seems the Imperial Advisor is quite pleased with my niece? Then the marriage is settled!"
The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, very pleased.
Xiao Tang was speechless.
[Satisfied? Satisfied my foot! When did I say anything? You're being far too arbitrary!]
She suddenly lifted her robe and knelt on one knee.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. To be honest, Your Majesty, I already have someone I love. I don't want to delay Miss He's future."
See how sincere and earnest I am in speaking.
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager's smile vanished, and she stared at Xiao Tang. "You have someone you like?"
Xiao Tang nodded.
She said earnestly, "It wouldn't be good to delay Miss He from finding a good family, I truly..."
"Waaah!" Before she could even finish speaking to Xiao Tang, He Xiaoxiao immediately burst into tears.
He interrupted Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang looked at the woman with a puzzled expression.
Why are you crying? I haven't even started crying yet!
She's really unlucky.
Was the Empress Dowager deliberately arranging this marriage for her?
