"Empress Dowager, it will take a while for them to enter the palace. You'd better sit down and wait." The nanny persuaded in a low voice.
"Mammy, I can't sit still. I can't wait to meet the woman that the master mentioned."
The Queen Mother held Mammy's hand and said, "Mammy, you also saw it at that time. The strange phenomenon that occurred before the Master passed away. As soon as the Master finished speaking to me, the Buddhist beads in his hand disappeared into thin air, and then the Master passed away. The Master also said that he could not reveal the secret."
The Empress Dowager was a Buddhist, and so was the late Emperor. When the Emperor was young and weak, their first reaction was to send him to a temple to practice.
Sure enough, the emperor recovered and is still as strong as ever.
The Queen Mother became even more pious after that.
So when the master said Xu Lingyi could give birth to a prince, the empress dowager believed it in her heart.
But she did not lose her mind. She could not say that she believed it 100%, but she still had 60% to 70% hope.
After all, her son knew that the emperor's temper was really too weird. She had never seen a man who would avoid a woman so much.
But the moment the Queen Mother saw Xu Lingyi, she was stunned.
The hope in my heart, which was 60% to 70%, has now reached 80% to 90%.
Xu Lingyi was so beautiful that when she walked towards her, the empress dowager thought she had seen a fairy from heaven.
The Empress Dowager has lived to such an old age and has been in the late emperor's harem for many years, but she has never seen a woman whose appearance and figure can compare to Xu Lingyi.
"Greetings, Queen Mother. These are the two children from my daughter's house."
The Queen Mother nodded kindly. She had lived for many years, and no matter how turbulent her heart was, no clues could be seen on the surface.
For example, at this moment, the princess did not realize the Queen Mother's extraordinary fondness for Xu Lingyi.
"I have seen Mianmian before, why is she wearing a veil today?" the Queen Mother asked kindly.
Xu Lingmian felt aggrieved and almost wanted to tell everything.
The eldest princess spoke immediately, interrupting her before she could finish her words.
"She accidentally brushed her face against a branch. Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern."
If he really complained about Xu Lingyi in front of her, who knows what this lawless madman would say.
The Queen Mother nodded, then looked at Xu Lingyi, "Is this the other daughter of yours?"
The princess nodded and motioned Xu Lingyi to come forward and salute.
"Good boy, no need to be polite."
The Queen Mother looked at Xu Lingyi with shining eyes.
"Only after seeing you today did I realize that there are people like you in the world." The Queen Mother exclaimed.
The princess frowned slightly. Didn’t the empress dowager always dislike charming and seductive women?
She admitted that Xu Lingyi was beautiful, but for some reason she had not noticed her appearance before.
But she thought the Queen Mother would not like Xu Lingyi.
Will the Queen Mother also be impressed by Xu Lingyi's beauty?
"Good boy, come forward and let me take a closer look." The Queen Mother extended her hand towards Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi was somewhat surprised by the Queen Mother's attitude. After her rebirth, she became particularly sensitive to people's emotions.
Could she feel that the Queen Mother seemed to like her very much?
The Queen Mother held Xu Lingyi's hand, looked her up and down, and finally stopped at her face, reluctant to take her eyes away.
"Good boy, how old are you this year?"
"Your Majesty, I am seventeen years old."
The Queen Mother listened to her speak, her voice was neither hurried nor slow, calm and unhurried, with the temperament of a lady from a noble family.
Her voice is as beautiful as a clear spring.
Such a woman with a peerless beauty, a voice like nature, and the ability to advance and retreat.
Not to mention being famous throughout Kyoto, her reputation in the capital is extremely bad. This shows the methods of the eldest princess.
I never knew she had such a vicious heart.
She was such a good girl, but her reputation was ruined by her.
"Seventeen is a good age. When were you born?"
"Your Majesty, my daughter was born in March."
That means she is thirteen years younger than the emperor, which is not a big age difference.
"Are you engaged? I want to arrange a marriage for you. Is that okay with you?"
The princess and Xu Lingmian's hearts skipped a beat.
They had never expected that the Queen Mother would want to arrange a marriage for Xu Lingyi.
What good man would want such a notorious woman.
Xu Lingyi didn't know who the empress dowager wanted to introduce her to, so she thought of politely declining.
But the Queen Mother seemed to know what she wanted to say.
"Don't be so quick to refuse." The Queen Mother held her hand. "You will know later."
The Queen Mother then turned to the eldest princess and said, "I really like your daughter. I felt a special affinity with her the first time I saw her. I feel quite lonely in the palace, so let her stay here and keep me company for a few days."
What else could the princess say?
She vaguely felt that the Queen Mother's action today seemed to be for Xu Lingyi.
But why?
How could Xu Lingyi be worthy of the Empress Dowager? They had no contact in the past.
Could it be that the Queen Mother was simply shocked by Xu Lingyi's beauty?
The eldest princess didn't want to believe it, but when she thought of Xu Lingyi's bright and beautiful face, she felt that it seemed to make sense.
Xu Lingyi was slightly surprised that the Queen Mother would let her stay in the palace.
All this was somewhat beyond her expectations.
But it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for her.
If she were in the palace, she would have seen the emperor more often.
Maybe she didn't have to go through three months of hardship?
It is possible that she will be favored by the emperor and enter the palace and become pregnant?
After all, Xu Lingyi's goal was to seduce the emperor and get pregnant.
As long as she gave birth to a prince, Xie Huaixing would never be able to become the crown prince.
As long as he cannot become the crown prince, he will never be able to ascend to that position in the future.
