Chapter 717: The Queen Mother wants to open a backdoor for Su Laowu
Bai Mansion.
“Is this true?!”
A sound of surprise came from the silver-haired Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager, who has always been kind and Buddhist, rarely lost her composure.
Princess Huaning's eyes were slightly red and her heart was pounding.
"Grandmother, it's true!" Princess Huaning said with a choked voice, "Sister Fuya can cure my illness!"
After saying that, he took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress his excitement.
Sister Fuya said that she should keep her mind calm!
A look of relief appeared on the Empress Dowager's face.
"Good! That's great!" The Queen Mother murmured, "Master Zhiren really wasn't wrong..."
Princess Huaning was stunned when she heard the Queen Mother's next words.
What does grandma mean by this?
Could it be that... Master Zhiren figured out something, so my grandmother came here?
That's not right! Isn't Grandmother going to a small village in Fengqi County to visit the Emperor's younger brother?
I just came here by chance...
The nanny who was serving on the side was also surprised.
"Now, Your Majesty, you can finally rest assured." The nanny said with emotion: "I don't know how much you have worried about the eldest princess's illness..."
"It is my granddaughter who is unfilial and has caused the Empress Dowager so much worry and distress." Princess Huaning immediately suppressed her doubts and said.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and looked at Princess Huaning with eyes full of love.
"You've been by my side since you were little. I've watched you grow from a little girl into a graceful young lady. I originally thought I'd arrange a marriage for you when you were older, but who would have thought you'd get this disease, delaying all these years..."
The Empress Dowager paused here and changed her tone.
"Don't ever talk about never marrying again! How can you, young as you are, live your whole life like a monk?"
Princess Huaning blushed and said, "My granddaughter only wants to stay by my royal grandmother's side, to be a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures for the rest of her life, and to pray for her."
Princess Huaning had said the same thing many times, but this time, not only the Empress Dowager, but even the nanny beside her heard the difference.
Because there is a hint of shyness of a little girl and a hint of coquettishness in it.
The Empress Dowager and the nanny looked at each other.
The Empress Dowager asked, "You said at first that your veil was torn off, and that the young man from the Su family came to your rescue?"
"That's right. At that time, Master Su righteously accused those people, saying that people's laws..."
Princess Huaning repeated everything Su Laowu said word for word.
Although, the Empress Dowager had also said these words to her.
After all, this is what is said in the Buddhist scriptures.
The Empress Dowager and the nanny exchanged glances again.
The Queen Mother continued, "I was not mistaken. This young man from the Su family is indeed a good person. He has a noble character and does not judge people by appearance..."
Following the Queen Mother's words, Princess Huaning nodded repeatedly.
The Empress Dowager and the Matron exchanged glances again...
Princess Huaning didn't notice this and said hesitantly, "Grandmother, my granddaughter's illness will probably take some time to heal. You still have to go to Fengqi County. Granddaughter..."
"It's okay. Curing your illness is the most important thing." The Queen Mother said, "Let's stay here first. Since the Su family's child is here to participate in the Autumn Examination, he will definitely return home after the exam. We can then go with them."
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she thought for a moment and then added meaningfully, "If that child can succeed in the exam, it would be icing on the cake..."
I just don't know how knowledgeable that child is?
Good character does not mean good knowledge, and the Empress Dowager understands this very well.
It seems that I have to ask about this before the results of the autumn examination are announced.
If that child didn't make it, he would have to be squeezed in, even if it was just a small part...
The Empress Dowager had already decided to give Su Laowu a back door.
As for why a little girl like Tang Bao could actually cure diseases that even the imperial doctors could not, the Empress Dowager thought of Master Zhiren's words and did not ask any further questions.
After all, the health-preserving pills that the emperor's son gave her as a gift were said to have been made by a little girl.
Moreover, that little girl is familiar with his own grandson...
The Queen Mother and Princess Huaning were talking about Su Laowu, and Xia Siya and Tang Bao were also talking about Su Laowu.
"Sister Fuya, do you feel that Fifth Brother is different today?" Xia Siya said thoughtfully.
"Why is it different?" Tang Bao looked clueless.
"Fifth brother actually went to buy a veil hat for Miss Bai himself. Isn't that different?" Xia Siya said in surprise.
Oh! She knew that although Fifth Brother appeared gentle and polite, he was actually quite cold.
There are so many unmarried girls in Fengqi County, trying every possible way to get in front of the Fifth Brother, but what is the result?
Fifth brother is like a blind man!
Even if someone fell in front of him, he would step away for fear of being scammed.
Today, I took the initiative to buy someone a veil!
After hearing what Xia Siya said, Tang Bao did not respond, but took out the painting she had drawn and spread it on the table.
"Is it beautiful?" Tang Bao asked.
Xia Siya: “…Beautiful!”
He took a breath.
Almost drooling.
So beautiful!
No matter how many times I see it, it's breathtakingly beautiful.
Tang Bao said earnestly: "This proves that my fifth brother is not blind!"
Xia Siya: “…”
Blinked.
I seem to understand.
He lowered his head and looked at the beauty in the painting again.
If she were a man, she would probably marry no one but the beauty in the painting.
There's nothing I can do. Other girls are not attractive to me.
"So, don't think about my fifth brother being blind in your heart from now on." Tang Bao patted Xia Siya's shoulder and said earnestly, "If your second brother hadn't been bumped by me and fell on Miss Zhang, I'm afraid he would have run to buy a veil hat."
Xia Siya felt guilty.
It turns out that sister Fuya saw through it.
"Hehe... Sister Fuya, please don't tell Fifth Brother. No! Do you mean... my Second Brother?"
Xia Siya looked at Tang Bao with shock on her face.
Tang Bao: “…I didn’t say anything.”
A face full of innocence.
Xia Siya: “…”
I couldn't help but reach out and pinch Tangbao's chubby little face.
"Sister Fuya, why do I feel like... a lot of things are wrong?" Xia Siya said suspiciously: "Tell me, are you hiding something from me?"
"No." Tang Bao looked well-behaved and shook her head, saying, "I just feel that the rumors about your second brother and Miss Zhang will spread soon."
Xia Siya thought about the situation at that time and the people in the lobby, and felt that it was very possible.
"It seems that my mother doesn't need to hold a flower-viewing banquet anymore and choose a wife for my second brother." Xia Siya said.
Then, looking at Tang Bao, his face was full of emotion.
"Sister Fuya, thanks to that collision of yours, my second brother's marriage was directly arranged."
Tang Bao: “…”
She was also hit by someone.
