"Zhaoyu was too careless this time!" The Empress Dowager's face darkened, and then she waved to Lan Qingyao, saying, "Qingyao, come here."
Lan Qingyao then got up obediently and walked to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager grabbed her little hand and asked warmly, "Girl, how old are you?"
"Eighteen." Lan Qingyao bit her lip.
"It's not too young!" The Empress Dowager sighed softly, "If you have been serving as a maid and servant in this palace, and you leave the palace after eight years, you will be an old lady of twenty-six! Although you are from Lanhou Daughter, but in the end... she doesn't have a status, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to marry a good man in the future."
"Yao'er doesn't care." Lan Qingyao shook her head again and again, "Daddy has no mother, Yaoer is willing to stay with Daddy for the rest of his life."
"Silly girl! Your father will leave you one day!" The Empress Dowager sighed softly, then raised her eyes to look at Lan Hou, "I am sorry for the Lan family's great kindness, but failed to save Mrs. Lan. I really feel guilty. But the Ai family is just a woman, and the Ai family can't get involved in the affairs of the court, nor can they help the Lan family. As for Yao'er, she is in the harem after all, and the Ai family can help a little... "
"Please trouble the Empress Dowager to be concerned." Lan Hou raised his eyes.
The Empress Dowager looked sideways at Lan Qingyao again, and asked, "Girl, what do you think of the Emperor?!"
Lan Qingyao lowered her head, looking obedient and aggrieved, but her eyes were bright. After going around for so long, the Empress Dowager can be regarded as brought into the topic by them.
"Your Majesty is handsome and majestic, and governs the country well. He is naturally a role model in Yao'er's mind. Yao'er admires it." Lan Qingyao said, her cheeks blushed, and she said shyly, "But in the end, Yao'er is just a maid. Dare to think..."
"Dare! You dare!" The Empress Dowager suddenly patted the back of her hand, saying inexplicably, "If the Ai family says you dare, you will!"
"Empress Dowager..." Lan Qingyao raised her head with a dazed expression.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Xuechan who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Xuechan, you go to Chengqian Palace for Ai's family, and tell Your Majesty that Ai's family misses him, so let him come over tonight and have dinner together."
Xuechan was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Yes."
At night, Emperor Ning came to Yikun Palace as promised after finishing his political affairs.
"Grandma, grandson is here to see you." Emperor Ning sat down across from her, said while adding vegetables to her bowl, and said, "I heard from Aunt Xuechan that you have a bad appetite. How to eat. Otherwise, I will let the cooks from the imperial dining room go to the folks to learn some new tricks and come back to change your taste?"
"No." The Empress Dowager had a gloomy face, and the word "displeasure" was written on her forehead.
"Grandma, it's my fault that I kept the matter of the Lan family from you, but it's all a matter of the court. You live in the harem, so don't worry about it!" Emperor Ning comforted him.
"The emperor wants to tell the Ai family that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?" The voice of the empress dowager sank.
Emperor Ning did not answer the call, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"Heh!" The Empress Dowager immediately snorted coldly, and continued, "The one in Zhaoyang Palace, is that the Emperor's harem?! How did she get involved in the matter of the Lan family?!"
"Grandma, Zhaoyu was worried about my safety, she just did something bad with good intentions." Emperor Ning helped Shen Zhaoyu to defend.
The Empress Dowager gave Emperor Ning a cold look, "Okay! The Ai family will treat you as right! Don't worry about the past, but you have to promise the Ai family one thing!"
