Everyone around was looking at her.
The Imperial Concubine was just a few steps away, walking towards her.
But no matter whether it is the Imperial Concubine or the Princess Yongkang, they are all juniors! It is not easy to help! Is this why many people like to take advantage of their seniority? Because it is so useful!
The crowd fell into subtle silence, everyone waiting for her answer.
Tang Shiyue’s thoughts raced.
It's easy to block her back, but this old princess, just from what happened before, knows she's a confused person. What if she insists on doing it? She may be able to do it!
The Queen Mother and the Emperor are both too far away to put out a nearby fire. She doesn't dare to make a fuss, but the old princess may not dare to do so either. Both sides will suffer, which is not what she wants!
Okay, then tell her not to make trouble!
Almost at the same time when the Imperial Concubine was about to speak, Tang Shiyue showed a look of surprise.
It was as if he was so surprised that he couldn't help but reveal what he was really thinking.
...
...
Even the people around her couldn't help but want to ask her what she was so surprised about.
But what can I say about the old princess? She is worthy of being Yan Tingyue’s grandmother. In her heart, a lowly person like her is probably not worthy of having emotions.
She urged impatiently: "Speak!"
Tang Shiyue secretly pinched the corner of the imperial concubine's sleeve to stop her from speaking.
While hurriedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Princess, I thought you were going to ask me about your health, but you were actually asking about Yan Tingyue, and I didn't react for a moment."
She raised her face, acting her best, and looked at her carefully, revealing a complicated expression, and took a step back "unmoved", "I really envy Yan Tingyue, for having such a loving grandmother. Princess, you are like this... and you still miss her."
She spoke as if these would be her last words.
Princess An's hunched old eyes slowly widened. It was obvious that she understood the implication of her words and she cared about it very much!
Then Tang Shiyue said sincerely: "Princess, please stop worrying too much and take care of yourself."
"What do you mean?" The old princess stared at her intently: "How is my health?"
Took the bait.
Tang Shiyue seemed to be hesitant to speak: "Princess, you should know that I sell essential oils and have some experience with fragrance. It is better not to use this kind of incense on your body."
Seeing her doubtful eyes, she asked, "Do you feel that when you smell this fragrance, you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, swelling in your temples, phlegm in your throat, and unbearable irritability..." She pointed to the area behind her right shoulder near her neck and said, "Does this area hurt when you press it?"
Talk about universal things and seek resonance;
Say something extremely specific and seek trust;
And nodding slightly while speaking, this is a reinforced psychological suggestion.
Film Queen Tang was also very attentive.
The old princess really believed it, her eyes became sharp, "Why is that?"
She nodded at her: "Princess," she said as she walked forward. The old princess followed her involuntarily until they walked to the chair in the pavilion next to her. She turned slightly and the old princess sat down. Tang Shiyue said: "Princess, please calm your breathing first and let the air reach your lungs..."
She seemed to have realized something: "Princess, you should find an imperial physician to take a good look at it."
She turned and walked away, as if she was trying to avoid him.
She absolutely believed this.
And she also understood what she wanted to convey: you must remain calm, otherwise your life will be in danger...
If she is afraid of death, she will think carefully before doing anything.
Even if she loves Yan Tingyue more than her life and has to get something clear from her, her efforts will eventually fade away and the worst that can happen is that she will just fool her again!
But the old princess obviously valued her life more than she thought. Today was the Queen Mother’s birthday and the palace could not invite the imperial physician, so she just made an excuse and went home!
Back home!
Really...he's really taking advantage of his age!
But it’s good that she’s finally alive.
The Imperial Concubine quietly asked her, "Is she really?"
Tang Shiyue also answered directly: "I don't scare her, for fear that she will make a scene. She is panting and wheezing, and it is obvious that there is something wrong with her lungs. This disease will become more serious when she smells incense. It is true that she has chest tightness and shortness of breath."
So everything else is fake?
But then I thought about it again, she didn't say anything specific!
The Imperial Concubine wanted to laugh, but considering that there were people around, she coughed a few times and held it back, and said softly, "As expected of my daughter, she is really smart!"
The Imperial Concubine was smart and quick-witted, but the others, including Princess Yongkang, were intimidated by her. They thought she was some miracle doctor, and many of them came over to talk to her.
Tang Shiyue explained to them all the knowledge of aromatherapy. After another quarter of an hour, Emperor Mingyan and the Empress Dowager finally arrived.
As soon as Emperor Ming Yan arrived, he looked in her direction, smiled slightly, but said nothing.
Then everyone saluted, as if no one noticed the look... but of course no one didn't notice it.
Anyway, the current situation is: everyone knows that she calls the emperor Aye, and even the Imperial Noble Consort has acknowledged it in front of the Empress Dowager, but openly, the Emperor neither admits nor denies it. If you have the guts, come and ask, because I have the final say and I lose!
Then came the palace banquet.
The Empress Dowager was not celebrating her birthday this year, so the palace banquet was not very grand. The seating was arranged according to rank, and since she was a woman of noble status, she could not sit with the Imperial Concubine.
The Imperial Noble Consort was now relieved about her and just gave her a look before leaving. Tang Shiyue really didn't care. After all, she was the youngest among the third-rank ladies, so she politely gave way to those of the same rank before sitting down.
The people in the front were sitting upright, and quite a few old ladies were chatting and laughing with the Queen Mother, and they were having a great time.
But she was in the second row and there was a pillar blocking her view, so she couldn't be seen from above. She immediately relaxed her body openly.
The empress dowager was old and could not sit for long, so she passed away after sitting for only a quarter of an hour. Emperor Ming Yan was in the front hall, and only the empress and concubines were left here.
There was singing and dancing in the hall, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. The old woman next to her also came over to talk to her. When she introduced her identity, she was stunned. She turned out to be the stepmother of County Magistrate Lin.
She had known long ago that Magistrate Lin also came from a large family, was born out of wedlock, and did not seem to have a good relationship with his stepmother.
But anyway, mistresses who mistreat concubines were not uncommon in this era, and it was not considered an unforgivable crime. Moreover, even Magistrate Lin himself had to respect her as his mother. So she was very polite.
The old woman was obviously a smart person and spoke very attentively and considerately.
After asking, Tang Shiyue found out that County Magistrate Lin had sent her a message.
She used to live in the hot spring villa, and he didn’t know where she lived, so he didn’t look for her. Later, she moved here, and he wasn’t well-informed, so he only found out about her after she had hosted two shows and sent her the invitation.
But at that time, Tang Shiyue had already instructed that she would not wait for him after the deadline, so Ding Xiaoyan did not reply and she did not know anything about it.
