Early the next morning.
Chen and Chen Yi stopped outside the palace gate.
"Sir, please go in and tell them that I am really the mother of the current Empress Dowager. I have an important matter to discuss with the Empress Dowager." Chen secretly stuffed a bulging purse into the hands of the guard at the palace gate.
"What evidence do you have to prove your identity?"
The guard took advantage of the fact that no one was looking and put the bag of money that Chen handed over into his pocket.
He asked falsely.
He did accept the silver, but not before Chen's identity became clear.
He would not rashly believe her words alone.
Chen took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and said, "Sir, you don't need to do anything. Just present this jade pendant and the maidservant beside the Queen Mother will hand it over to her."
She spoke.
The guard took Chen's money and did nothing, which made him feel a little guilty.
"Okay, then you wait here first, I'll take the jade pendant in for you."
The guard took the jade pendant from Chen's hand and walked towards the depths of the palace gate.
When Chen Yi saw the guard disappear, he pulled Chen's sleeve, looked up and asked, "Mom, will the elder sister meet us?"
He bit his lip and his eyelashes fluttered twice.
It’s just a jade pendant, is it really that useful?
The eldest sister sent him out of the palace that day, and she didn't come out even though she cried her throat out.
Mother only relied on a jade pendant, but her face was full of confidence.
This made Chen Yi a little suspicious.
Chen raised her hand and touched Chen Yi's head, "Yier, don't worry, the Queen Mother will meet us."
The reason why she was so confident was that the jade pendant was not an ordinary jade pendant.
It was left behind by the young lady of the general's mansion, the mother of the current empress dowager.
Apart from the people in the General’s Mansion, no one else would have access to her mother’s belongings.
"Well, I believe in you, mother."
After hearing Chen's assurance, Chen Yi nodded heavily.
at the same time.
Fengyi Palace.
When Yuzhu received the jade pendant presented by the eunuch, she recognized it as the lady's at a glance.
After questioning, she found out that the stepmother of the general's mansion wanted to see the empress dowager for no reason.
Yuzhu didn't want to tell Lixia the news that Chen was outside.
But she was also worried that Chen really had something important to do.
After some hesitation, Yuzhu finally decided to give the jade pendant to Li Xia.
"Your Majesty, Chen requests to see you."
Hearing this, Li Xia paused with her hand holding the teacup. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Chen?"
She frowned.
Before I went to find her, she came to me first.
How come this doesn't seem like Chen's style?
Doubts arose in Li Xia's heart.
"Are you sure it's her?"
Yuzhu gave the jade pendant to Lixia.
"Madam's jade pendant is in her hand, so there should be no mistake."
Even if there were thieves in the general's mansion and they took the jade pendant, it would be impossible for them to openly bring the jade pendant to the empress dowager.
"Empress Dowager, Chen told the guard that she has something important to discuss and needs to see you. Do you want to see her or not?" Yuzhu asked.
Li Xia lowered her head and thought for a while, "Yuzhu, send someone to tell her to come in."
She wanted to see what Chen was up to.
Li Xia lowered her eyes and stroked the jade pendant in her hand.
"Yes, madam."
Yuzhu bowed his head, then turned and walked out.
She walked outside the hall, followed Lixia's instructions, and informed the guards waiting there.
The guards returned to the palace gate.
He was a little surprised when he learned that the Queen Mother really wanted to meet with a woman outside the palace.
When he saw Chen waiting outside the palace again, his attitude changed 180 degrees.
"Madam, the Queen Mother invites you." The guard said with a flattering smile.
When Chen Yi heard the news, his eyes lit up.
"Mom, did Yier hear correctly? Did the elder sister agree to meet us?"
He asked in disbelief.
Although he chose to believe Chen, deep down in his heart, he still felt that Li Xia didn't like them and wouldn't want to see them.
"Yes, Yi'er heard it right."
A bitter smile appeared on Chen's lips, but it disappeared in a flash.
She should have gotten used to Chen Yi's completely different attitude towards her and Li Xia, but she still felt sad every time.
Every time at this time.
Chen had no other choice but to comfort herself.
"Madam, this eunuch will lead the two of you to the Queen Mother's palace."
When the guard came out, he was followed by a young eunuch.
Chen raised her eyes and said politely, "Thank you for your help, eunuch."
"It's okay. I'm just following orders. Please go in, Madam."
The young eunuch made a gesture of invitation.
Chen led Chen Yi, and the two followed the young eunuch one in front and one behind, into the palace.
Chen Yi's eyebrows were curved, and the expression on his face could not hide his anticipation.
He can finally see his big sister.
This time, he must seize the opportunity to say sorry to his elder sister.
Chen Yi secretly swore in his heart that he must grow up quickly and become a man of his own standing so that he could protect his older sister.
It was the first time that Chen saw the high walls of the imperial palace from such a close distance.
Everywhere you look, there is splendor and gold.
The palace was very large. They walked for a long time before they stopped at the door of a magnificent palace.
"Madam, please wait a moment. I need to go in and pass the message."
The young eunuch stopped and spoke.
