Chapter 60 The Vixen

[What? Grandmother? Whose grandmother?]

Sitting in the Queen's arms, Xia Miaoyuan looked at the girl curiously.

The girl calmly stepped into the palace gate, came to the Queen Mother and bowed.

"Oh, it's Panpan, get up quickly, get up quickly, and sit next to your grandmother."

[Eh... the Queen Mother's granddaughter!]

[Panpan?]

Xia Miaoyuan was startled.

[Isn't that the famous vixen Feng Panpan in the book?]

[Haha! Granddaughter, what kind of granddaughter is she!]

"Your servant greets the Queen Mother and all the elders."

Feng Panpan turned around pretentiously and saluted the Queen and the concubines.

"Panpan has grown so big." The Queen said in a warm tone and smiled politely.

"I am already seventeen years old this year." Feng Panpan said in a pinched voice.

"Oh, the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager has inherited your peerless beauty."

"Yes, look at this child, she is so well-proportioned."

The ladies praised Feng Panpan one after another, their faces full of flattery.

[Haha, are you praising me? ]

[Feng Panpan is such a vixen, you say she inherited the empress dowager's genes? ! ]

[That is to say, the empress dowager is a thousand-year-old vixen! ]

Xia Miaoyuan covered her mouth with her chubby hands and laughed.

The empress couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly handed Xia Miaoyuan to Yingxue to hold, and picked up the teacup to pretend to drink tea.

"Oh, everyone is commending me." The empress dowager smiled happily.

Feng Panpan's mother is Jiang Shuyi, the eldest daughter of Master Jiang, and her father is Feng Qi, the son of the Duke of Huguo.

To be honest, the Empress Dowager is her great-aunt, and the people in the north call her Grandma.

But because the Empress Dowager has no daughters, granddaughters, or great-granddaughters, she loves the smart and well-behaved Feng Panpan very much and lets her call her grandmother directly.

Xia Miaoyuan remembered that in the book, Feng Panpan was extremely beautiful and good at charm, but she was insidious and cunning, like a beauty snake.

"Panpan, I'm not exaggerating, she really inherited the beauty of our Jiang family's daughter."

"Not only is she beautiful, but she is also smart and dexterous." The Empress Dowager took Feng Panpan's hand, stroking it tenderly and praising her with a smile on her face.

"What the Empress Dowager said is very true. Oh, look at this handkerchief. It must have been embroidered by Panpan, right?"

Concubine Xian said, standing up and picking up the handkerchief in Feng Panpan's hand to

examine it carefully. "Oh, this embroidery is much better than that of the palace maids in the Shangyi Bureau."

"Is Panpan engaged?" Concubine Xian said in a gentle voice, looking at the Empress Dowager.

"She hasn't been engaged yet." The Empress Dowager smiled fondly.

"Her father and mother dote on her and have been very picky about her husband, but she hasn't been engaged yet."

[She's still not engaged at the age of 17, isn't it because you, an old woman, haven't spoken yet? ]

Xia Miaoyuan rolled her eyes at the Empress Dowager.

She remembered that in the book, Feng Panpan was a tool for political marriage.

"Oh, Panpan is seventeen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eighteen, and they are both not engaged yet. Isn't this a match made in heaven!" Princess Duan said in a pretentious tone, and even curled her lips to the Queen.

"Yes!"

"That's great!"

The noble ladies in the palace echoed one after another.

The Queen Mother smiled again, her teeth showing but her eyes not showing.

[Wow, no way. ]

[You guys are here to blame my Crown Prince! ]

[You want to blame my Crown Prince for this vixen? You are so shameless. ]

A flash of surprise flashed across the Queen's face, and she quickly hugged Xia Miaoyuan back to her arms to hide her expression.

In the past, in the harem, the aunt and nephew of the Jiang family had always suppressed the empress, and the Grand Tutor Jiang was in power in the court. The young ladies of the Jiang family, and even the young ladies of the Jiang family's relatives, looked down on the prince.

Because in their view, the prince Xia Chengwan would never live to see the day of ascending the throne, and whoever married him would be unlucky.

Now that the Jiang family has been convicted and its power has been greatly reduced, it was unexpected that the empress dowager would actually set her sights on the prince.

"Empress Dowager, the prince is here to pay his respects to you." The chief eunuch of Shoukang Palace, Liu Youde, walked in with small steps and reported to the empress dowager.

[What? What? What? The prince is here! ]

The empress and Xia Miaoyuan were both surprised.

Today is the first day of the new year, the day when the concubines and ladies pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. Usually, a group of female relatives come together to drink tea and chat. Occasionally, some concubines will bring young princes. Princes as old as the Crown Prince will not come.

As soon as the Crown Prince stepped into the door of the main hall, he realized that something was wrong and was stunned.

Because he was busy recently, he forgot that today was the first day of the new year.

He had just finished court and was about to discuss something with the second prince, but suddenly ran into Liu Youde who hurried over.

Liu Youde told him that the Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill and asked him to go to see her.

He thought about it and realized that the Jiang family had suffered a huge change some time ago. It was possible that the Empress Dowager fell ill due to excessive sadness. Without any doubt, he followed Liu Youde to Shoukang Palace.

But when he stepped into the palace, he saw a room full of women. He was dumbfounded and realized that he had been tricked by the Empress Dowager.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." The prince walked in and saluted. "

Grandson Chengwan, come here quickly." The Empress Dowager waved to the prince with a smile.

"Come to the Empress Dowager."

"Oh, I was just talking about the prince, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"Miss Feng just wanted to meet the prince."

"Look, these two are really a good match!"

The ladies couldn't help but talk about the prince when they saw him.

As soon as the Queen and Xia Miaoyuan saw the embarrassed expression of the Prince, they immediately guessed that he must have been tricked by the Queen Mother.

[Humph, that old woman is so annoying!]

Xia Miaoyuan pouted and glared at the Queen Mother.

"Cheng Wan, look who this is?" The Queen Mother smiled and pulled the Prince's hand.

The Prince was forced to step forward, and the distance between him and Feng Panpan was only three feet.

The Prince raised his head embarrassedly and glanced at Feng Panpan.

"Your Highness, the Prince is fine." Feng Panpan bowed and said with a choked voice.

"Cheng Wan, do you still recognize her? She is Panpan, you played together when you were little." The Queen Mother's tone was full of enthusiasm.

The women in the room all stared at the prince and Feng Panpan, covering their mouths with their hands, with gossiping expressions like they were eating melons.

The prince felt so embarrassed that his body and head felt numb, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"My grandson has a bad memory and can't recognize

her." The prince resisted the urge to escape and answered stiffly. "Panpan hasn't been to the palace for a long time. Why don't you take her to the Yu Garden for a walk?" The Queen Mother pulled the prince's hand hard.

The prince was using his brain quickly, searching his intestines and stomach for an excuse to refuse, but Feng Panpan smiled.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother prince."

The prince's face flushed, and he felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.

[No way? There are still people who are so shameless! 】

Xia Miaoyuan widened her eyes and stared at Feng Panpan in disbelief.

After Feng Panpan finished speaking, she turned around and gestured to the prince to invite him in.

The prince had no choice but to bow and say goodbye to everyone,

then walked out of the hall. Feng Panpan twisted her slender waist like a water snake and followed the prince slowly.

Xia Miaoyuan was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She grabbed a hazelnut from the fruit plate and threw it hard with her little hand. The hazelnut fell to the ground and rolled.

Feng Panpan was only concerned with posing to highlight her charming figure, and didn't pay attention to her feet at all.

The hazelnut rolled in front of Feng Panpan.

The queen and Xia Miaoyuan both stared at the hazelnut closely.

Feng Panpan lifted her embroidered shoes and stepped right on the hazelnut.

"Ouch!"

A sharp female voice came.
