Ever since the empress dowager learned that Shen Tingsi had a girl he liked, she has been concerned about this matter. Although Shen Tingsi did not mention in the letter that he would bring Jiang Li back with him, the empress dowager had a hunch that Shen Tingsi would not come back alone this time.

The Queen Mother felt nervous and excited at the thought of meeting Jiang Li, whom she had never met before. As soon as the letter arrived, she began to think about what gift to prepare for Jiang Li.

Nanny Gui smiled and replied, "No matter what is prepared, it is all from the heart of your Majesty. I think the girl that your Majesty likes must be a reasonable person. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much about this matter."

As the empress dowager's maidservant who came with her as a dowry, Nanny Gui had been serving her when she was still a young lady. She knew that the empress dowager would not be able to sleep well if she had something on her mind, so she comforted her with a few words in advance.

"Why not give her the gold-inlaid jade hairpin as a gift?"

Upon hearing that the Queen Mother was going to give the hairpin to Jiang Li as a gift, Nanny Gui was a little surprised. The hairpin was a family heirloom of the Zhuang family, and the Zhuang family was the maiden family of the Queen Mother's grandmother.

That hairpin was passed down by Madam Zhuang to the Empress Dowager's mother, and later by the Empress Dowager's mother to the Empress Dowager. It should have been passed down by the Empress Dowager to her legitimate daughter, but the Empress Dowager had few children, and Your Majesty was the only child, so that hairpin became the Empress Dowager's most precious treasure.

Now the Queen Mother proposed to give Jiang Li the treasure at the bottom of the box as a gift. Needless to say, her intention is to treat her like her own daughter! "One hairpin seems not enough, how about giving her the exquisite bracelet?"

"I remember that the cloth sent as tribute from the Western Regions is still in Shoukang Palace. When the child comes, I will give it to her to make her some clothes."

"And that..."

The Queen Mother said a lot of things, but she always felt that it was not enough. She wanted to give all her treasures to Jiang Li as a gift.

"Okay, okay, your Majesty, you can give me whatever you want."

Nanny Gui really couldn't give any suggestions on this matter. No matter what the gift was or how much it was, it was the Empress Dowager's sincere heart, so no matter what the Empress Dowager said, Nanny Gui just smiled and nodded.

"I don't know when Si'er and the others will be able to come back. I can't wait any longer!"

"Your Majesty's birthday is coming soon. His Majesty and the others will definitely come back before your birthday. Your Majesty, please don't be anxious and wait a little longer."

"I always felt that time passed by so quickly before I could do anything. Now I just want time to pass faster and faster. I wish Si'er could appear in front of me right now!"

The Empress Dowager kept muttering to herself, but Nanny Gui saw through it but didn't say anything. She just smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

In my opinion, the one your majesty wants to see is not your majesty, but the girl your majesty is talking about !

With the Empress Dowager's anticipation, the days finally passed one by one, and the Empress Dowager's birthday was getting closer and closer.

The Queen Mother had been counting the days these days and asking the palace maids about the time more than ten times a day.

Shen Tingsi and Jiang Li traveled by water for the first half of the month, fearing that Jiang Li would feel uncomfortable sitting on the boat for too long. In the second half of the month, Shen Tingsi asked Feng Jue to buy a carriage, and they traveled the second half of the way back by carriage.

In the month since they came to the Imperial City from Jiangnan, Shen Tingsi and Jiang Li have been together almost all day long. They not only enjoyed the scenery along the way, but also tasted snacks and delicacies from different places. The relationship between the two has become increasingly close.

The carriage swayed and finally arrived at the destination of this journey - the palace.

In order to give the Queen Mother a surprise, Shen Tingsi did not tell her that they would be able to return to the palace today.

When the simple and plain carriage appeared in front of the palace gate, the guards did not recognize that it was their Majesty sitting inside. It was not until Feng Jue took off his hat that the guards recognized him and hurriedly knelt to greet him.

"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tingsi came out of the carriage, stood in front of the carriage and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Li inside.

"Li'er, be careful."

Jiang Li bent down and walked out of the sedan chair, placing her delicate hand in Shen Tingsi's palm. When she was about to jump down, Shen Tingsi held her waist.

"Li'er, we're here."

The guards kneeling on the ground only felt a gust of fragrant wind coming, followed by the hem of a water blue robe passing in front of them.

Look...it looks like a woman's dress?!

The guard's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, but he didn't dare to look up to confirm.

After returning to the palace, Shen Tingsi took Jiang Li directly to Shoukang Palace to pay a visit to the Queen Mother. When Jiang Li thought about meeting the Queen Mother soon, her hands unconsciously tightened.

After noticing her emotions, Shen Tingsi stopped where he was and turned to look at Jiang Li beside him.

"Li'er, don't be nervous. Mother has a gentle personality and is easy to get along with."

Jiang Li bit her lower lip and looked at Shen Tingsi with some concern: "Ah Si, do you think the Queen Mother will dislike me?"

Shen Tingsi raised his hand and pinched her face, then said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother will love you as much as I do."

After Shen Tingsi's repeated reassurances, Jiang Li calmed herself down and continued walking towards Shoukang Palace.

When the two figures appeared in Shoukang Palace, all the palace residents stood there in a daze with their eyes wide open and mouths wide open.

It was not until Shen Tingsi pulled Jiang Li in front of the palace servants that they came to their senses and knelt on the ground in unison.

"Your servant greets His Majesty!"

"Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shen Tingsi took Jiang Li through the long courtyard, passed by the rows of buildings, and finally arrived in front of Shoukang Palace.

The sound of the palace maids paying respects startled the Queen Mother in the palace. The Queen Mother, who was painting quietly, suddenly raised her head! The next moment, the figures of Shen Tingsi and Jiang Li came into her sight. The Queen Mother slightly exerted force on the fingers holding the brush, and looked at Jiang Li who was walking towards her calmly.

The Queen Mother was already shocked when she saw Shen Tingsi and Jiang Li walking side by side. When she saw their hands interlocked, her eyes widened in shock!

"Your son pays respect to your mother."

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

Shen Tingsi and Jiang Li stopped in front of the jade table and paid their respects to the Empress Dowager in front of them.

After hearing Jiang Li's voice, the empress dowager came back to her senses. She stood up from the jade table and walked towards Jiang Li, holding her arm with her own hand.

"Child, get up quickly, no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Although Jiang Li was not particular about details when she was in the Jiang Mansion, she did not neglect any rules and etiquette. She had a tutor to teach her since she was a child.

"You must be exhausted from all the traveling. Come over here and have a rest."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she pulled Jiang Li's arm and walked towards the table nearby, not even bothering to pay attention to Shen Tingsi.

Shen Tingsi looked down at his empty hands, a hint of helplessness flashing across his eyes.

Who can tell him what the sudden sense of crisis is? ? What do you want to see in the next world? This world will end in a few days. It's a bit long. I will try to keep the next world within 50 chapters.
