The Queen Mother thought about it for a long time, but she didn't figure out what Rong Changan's preferences are; there are preferences and shortcomings, and only shortcomings can be exploited. If a person has no preferences, then it is very difficult to deal with.
"This woman is really weird. I have been in the harem for so many years, but I can't see any flaws in her! I used to think that Zi Yan would replace her, but now it seems really naive!"
However, the Empress Dowager still wanted to give it a try, to find out what Rong Changan said, and then play it by ear.
Rong Chang'an would go to Fengzao Palace every three days to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. It was already dark this day, when Rong Changan came to the palace, he saw the Empress Dowager sitting on the floor, bored, with melancholy hidden in his eyes.
Rong Chang said with peace of mind: Could it be that the matter of Ziyan has already been known to the Queen Mother
"Auspicious Queen Mother!"
A clear voice was heard by everyone present, but the Queen Mother rested her elbow on her chin, as if she didn't hear Rong Changan's words.
Could it be that the queen mother is old, a little demented, deaf and blind
"Empress Dowager, Empress Rong Changan of Fengming Palace pays her respects to Empress Dowager! I wonder if Empress Dowager is in good health? Are you okay recently?"
The queen mother flickered her phoenix eyes, and looked at Rong Changan with eyes full of complex emotions. From this look, Rong Changan might have seen the heart of the queen mother.
She must be worrying about Ziyan and me! Let's see what she thinks.
The queen mother observed Rong Changan up and down, and looked at the boss for a while. Rong Changan's eyes, forehead, nose, mouth, and chin can see the hem of her dress, but he still can't see Rong Changan's shortcomings and preferences.
Even if one sees a cute hairpin on Rong Changan's head, and a beautiful jade spot finger on her finger, one can know what she likes in her heart! But Rong Changan seemed to hide everything in his heart, not letting anyone see it.
Such a woman is the most difficult to deal with!
"Queen? Queen?" Rong Changan called out twice.
The queen mother sighed, pursed her lips slightly, and squeezed out a shallow smile.
"Queen Rong, these days, I am very grateful to have you come here to pay my respects."
There is no need to say these polite words! Rong Changan prefers to get straight to the point.
"Empress Dowager, you are above the emperor. Your health is related to the fate of the entire Dajing Kingdom. How can Chang'an be slack! I think the Empress Dowager looks a bit unwell, is she in a bad health?" Turning to Xu Feng beside him, " Doctor Xu, I asked you to take care of the Queen Mother, but do you know how the Queen Mother has been in recent days?"
Xu Feng knelt on the ground in fear, and told Rong Chang'an: "I want to report to Empress Rong, the queen mother has been fine in the past few days, it is just possible..."
Rong Chang'an said, "What's possible?"
Xu Feng said: "The Empress Dowager may have something on her mind, she doesn't think about tea or food."
"Oh?" Rong Changan's clear eyes turned, and he looked at the Queen Mother with tenderness, "Queen Mother, is what Doctor Xu said true?"
The Queen Mother nodded: "It is indeed what Doctor Xu said."
Rong Chang'an showed worry on his face, and asked Xu Feng: "Doctor Xu, after you have heard and asked everything, you know what is going on with the Queen Mother?"
"Reporting to the queen, there is nothing wrong with the queen mother's body, but she has something on her mind. The so-called heart disease requires heart medicine, and I really have nothing to do. I beg the queen mother and the queen to punish!"
The Empress Dowager signaled Xu Feng to get up: "What crime do you have to punish you? Get up quickly! These days, if Xu Feng hadn't taken good care of me, my old body would be as bad as it is! Empress Rong, I still have to thank you ! Invite such a good doctor for me."
Rong Chang'an looked at Xu Feng and smiled, and said to the queen mother: "This is what Chang'an should do. I just don't know what the queen mother is doing, so I don't think about food or tea?"
The queen mother stood up, a girl went to hold her arm, and walked around the room, coughing twice in the throat as she walked.
"I'm not sick, I just want to talk to someone. You know, I'm not in good health recently. For the sake of my health, Hai'er doesn't let me go out of the palace. I feel so bored."
The queen mother is old, but she talks quite funny. Not to mention that it was Li Hai who put her under house arrest, but that it was Li Hai who prevented her from leaving Fengzao Palace for her health.
"I haven't been out for a long time, so I don't know what's going on outside." The Empress Dowager suddenly looked at Rong Chang'an with deep meaning in her eyes, "Empress, what's the big news in the palace now, tell me about it?" After pondering , Then he said to the eunuch who was waiting next to him, "Go and prepare a table of food and wine. I will eat and drink with the queen and chat while chatting." Looking at Rong Changan again, "Queen, chat with my old man, you Don't you mind? There's nothing serious outside to haunt you, right?"
I know it's not an easy banquet, but Rong Changan never refuses anyone who comes.
She smiled: "Queen Mother, there are no other major matters outside that concern you right now, you'd better rest your body!"
"Really?" The Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Rong Chang'an greeted the Empress Dowager's stare uselessly: "Chang'an never lied to the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager had a displeased look on her face. Sniffing and snorting, he thought to himself: Rong Changan is watertight, he deliberately doesn't want me to know about Ziyan! Humph, but I already knew!
"I'm just asking."
The Empress Dowager took Rong Changan around in the small garden, and not long after, the eunuch prepared the banquet in the garden.
The eunuch hung a lantern on a flowering tree, illuminating a small garden like day.
While eating and drinking, the Queen Mother asked: "Queen, do you know what I like best in the palace?"
Rong Changan tried to think for a while: "The Empress Dowager's greatest wish and favorite to rule the Dajing Kingdom is nothing more than the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people!"
If you hear the big and empty words, you can tell that what Rong Changan said is hypocritical.
The corner of the Queen Mother's mouth couldn't help ticking upwards, revealing a look of disdain.
She waved her hand: "I'm not talking about these big things, I'm talking about our daughter's mind as a woman."
"Oh?" Rong Changan had to think about it. The empress dowager is very ambitious, she empties Li Hai in power, and makes Li Hai unable to move. What little things can she like? "Chang'an can't guess it, please ask the Queen Mother to clarify."
The queen mother smiled, thinking that even Rong Changan couldn't figure out what was on her mind, she was very proud.
"What I like is this early spring, to enjoy the first blooming of flowers in the small garden. It's the same in life. The best time is naturally the time of cardamom. I envy you very much. It's the time when you should wear flowers and drink wine. Drinking wine is not like me, eating an extra glass of water and wine will make you feel uncomfortable!"
Rong Chang'an said: "Old people are not suitable for drinking alcohol, one or two glasses is fine, too much will hurt the body!"
The Queen Mother plucked a peach blossom, put it on Rong Changan's head, and asked, "Queen, what is your favorite?"
Thinking of Yan Li's wish, Rong Chang'an blurted out: "My favorite is of course Dajing Country River Qinghaiyan, Guotai Minan!"
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, she felt that Rong Changan was not telling the truth, "Didn't I just say that, what I asked was about being a woman."
