Early the next morning.
Lotus Leaf followed the rules of the palace regarding time.
They got up early to prepare to serve the Empress Dowager.
When the Empress Dowager was having breakfast.
Ask the lotus leaf.
Today is your birthday, and also your coming-of-age ceremony.
"How do you plan to spend such an important day?"
The lotus leaf feigns an attitude of indifference and detachment from everything.
"Your Majesty, it is already my greatest blessing to be able to stay by your side and serve you."
“This servant dares not make any requests on the day of my coming-of-age ceremony.”
The Empress Dowager nodded.
"You've never overtly declared your identity."
"I just want to stay with my family and have them by my side. Everything else is just fleeting."
【Oh, that's well said, but it's like talking nonsense!】
Should we applaud your flattery?
Suddenly.
The Empress Dowager heard Ye Qianqian's thoughts.
When that little baby voice came out.
The Empress Dowager then knew.
The fact that lotus leaves were brought into the palace was truly a sign of ill intent.
Although the Empress Dowager has not yet thoroughly investigated this matter.
But one thing is certain.
She trusted Ye Qianqian completely.
The Empress Dowager has already lost heart and energy because of Hejing.
I really don't want to be hurt again by another granddaughter with ulterior motives.
If He Ye really is his own granddaughter.
The Empress Dowager had no other relationship with her besides blood ties.
If not.
That lotus leaf is a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor!
It also detracts from the emperor's desires!
This is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family!
Either she really is a princess and wants to use that identity to gain wealth and status.
She's just good at pretending to be innocent.
With the most innocent eyes.
It is a scene of the most heartwarming family affection.
But behind his back he was holding the sharpest knife!
Either she believes herself to be a fake princess!
It will never be exposed!
Even if the emperor doesn't announce it to the world and acknowledge her identity!
She could still thrive in the inner palace.
I haven't seen a girl who hasn't reached marriageable age in a long time.
She became a little woman with eight hundred schemes all over her body!
My beloved eagle.
We mustn't let that little sparrow peck at our eyes.
The Empress Dowager said calmly.
"I see in your words that you want me to acknowledge your identity."
"I would like to ask, if the Emperor and I never acknowledge you as a princess..."
"Can you endure being a palace maid in this deep palace for the rest of your life?"
Lotus Leaf understands the principle of concealing one's abilities and biding one's time.
She had made up her mind.
She used the white lotus method to its fullest extent to hand over the lotus flower to her.
They will surely be able to navigate this treacherous inner palace safely.
He Jing, that fool who relied on her princess status to make herself die.
Lotus Leaf will learn from her experience and cultivate an innocent image of "I will not hold any grudges even if the emperor does not recognize me".
The pressure will be put on Ye Ling's side.
Could he really bear to let his own flesh and blood spend their entire life as a palace maid?
Lotus Leaf nodded.
"This servant is willing."
[Oh wow! Is this the legendary feigned indifference?]
Let me think, what's the next step?
[Is this a self-inflicted injury ploy?!]
Since you don't care about being a princess, then go wash clothes for those eunuchs!
The Empress Dowager thought for a moment.
This move.
That's really mean!
No wonder her granddaughter, who has heard about my palace intrigues, came up with such a wicked trick.
But it's okay.
In this deep palace.
It was originally a combination of overt and covert tactics.
As long as it works.
then.
The Empress Dowager said.
"After thinking about it, I realize that I have quite a few people serving me."
"I prefer tranquility and dislike crowds."
"I'll give you a different job. Go to the laundry shop and wash clothes."
Lotus Leaf was taken aback.
Laundry?
The place where eunuchs washed their clothes.
This is tantamount to telling He Ye that she is not even as good as a eunuch!
This is not what was originally planned.
Her plan was to stay by the Empress Dowager's side.
Using the power of family ties, he gradually won over the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager eventually softened and accepted her!
But now the Empress Dowager has not only dismissed her!
They even sent them to a place that makes you want to vomit!
This is clearly a case of not wanting to give her a chance at all!
Why won't you let me empty the toilet!
"Also, you're in charge of cleaning those eunuch toilets."
Lotus Leaf was dumbfounded!
No way!
I was just venting!
How did you manage to turn your complaints into reality?!
Empty the chamber pot! Or rather, empty the chamber pot for the eunuchs!
If you don't want to acknowledge it, just say so!
They're humiliating me in this way.
Is she afraid that the people in the palace won't know my identity and therefore won't approve of me?!
At that point, let alone cats and dogs!
Those rootless bastards dare to shit on my head!
I entered the palace by taking the route of palace intrigue and cunning!
I didn't come here to be a lowly servant!
"What? You're unwilling?" the Empress Dowager asked.
Lotus Leaf replied immediately.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I don't understand why the Empress Dowager treats me this way."
"I don't need to explain my actions to others!"
[Exactly! A palace intrigue master like the Empress Dowager, does she really have to run up to everyone and shout it out every single step she takes?]
【I'm going to use some tricks to get you! You just wait and see how I kill you! Hahaha!】
