A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

At first, the empress dowager also thought that Lin Qingyang was a country girl. After a brief communication with her, she found that this girl still knew some etiquette, and from her conversation, it can be seen that she is also literate. She must have learned something from her mother. After all, Qingyang's mother was a famous woman in the capital.

Lin Qingyang like this reminds people more and more of her deceased mother.

Lin Qingyang still had some impression of his previous life. After all, he had only been in Beijing for three years when he died.

According to the developments in the previous life, she would be able to see the emperor the next day after entering the palace.

Everything was as usual. On the second day after entering the palace, the emperor went to the empress dowager's bedroom just after the morning court session.

Rumor has it that the emperor was extremely filial to the empress dowager and was a benevolent and good emperor.

Lin Qingyang paid his respects to the emperor. When he just stood up and looked up, the emperor was stunned at first, then returned to normal.

Lin Qingyang pretended not to see it, and acted cautiously. She knew that the emperor saw the shadow of his mother in her. This face was very similar to his mother's, especially the eyes.

The Empress Dowager is my mother's aunt, so my mother and the Emperor cannot be too distantly related.

"Emperor, do you think Qingyang looks like her mother?" the Queen Mother asked casually, seemingly unintentionally.

The emperor pretended to look at Lin Qingyang carefully and said, "I wouldn't have noticed it if mother hadn't told me. The more I look at her, the more she looks like him."

The emperor did not stay too long with the empress dowager. He just exchanged some simple private words with her and left after a while.

Lin Qingyang felt that the emperor didn't seem to want to mention his mother, but the empress dowager seemed to mention it deliberately. It seemed that the relationship between the two was not as rumored.

The Queen Mother liked to hold Lin Qingyang's hand and caress it as if she were holding a beloved toy.

"For a woman like your mother, I once wanted her to marry into the royal family like her cousin. The queen back then was just a concubine, but your mother didn't like being bound by constraints. Now I don't know whether her choice was lucky or unfortunate."

Lin Qingyang didn't understand what was said at that time, but now thinking about it, he seems to understand it a little.

My mother did not marry into the imperial family, but was implicated in an unjust case in her husband's family. My cousin married His Royal Highness Prince An at that time, but she also experienced a disaster and died of illness long ago.

The two most beautiful women in the capital at that time both had tragic fates.

Staying in the palace and chatting with the Queen Mother, the day passed quickly. Before dinner, Prince An came to pay his respects to the Queen Mother and was invited to stay for dinner.

"You boy, you finally remembered to come and see me, an old woman." The Queen Mother said in a doting tone.

Lin Qingyang and the young Prince An greeted each other and officially got to know each other. That day on the street, Lin Qingyang saw from afar that Prince An stopped the Crown Prince from chasing and beating Master Cui in the street.

"This is your cousin Qingyang, who has just arrived in Beijing. In the future, if there is anything I can help you with, please take care of her." The Queen Mother said to Prince Xiao An.

"Since she is my cousin, I naturally have to take better care of her," replied Prince Xiao An.

Little Prince An is the grandson of the Queen Mother. When Prince An and his wife passed away, Little Prince An was very young. He grew up with the Queen Mother and is also Lin Qingyang's cousin.

In his previous life, Lin Qingyang was not close to this cousin. At that time, he felt that this cousin had a strange personality and a bad reputation in the capital. He was a playboy, only twenty years old, and had not married, but had a concubine. He once had a fight with a son of an official in the capital over a prostitute.

Lin Qingyang looked at the little Prince An opposite him and just felt strange. How could someone who grew up by the Queen Mother's side be a playboy? Even if he was really a playboy, how could he make such a fuss that everyone in the city knew about it? How could the Queen Mother allow a child who was raised by her side to have such a reputation?

He just quietly observed the young Prince An. This man was indeed outstanding in appearance. No wonder he had a bad reputation and people who wanted to marry into the Prince An's mansion flocked to him.

But when I died in the Prince's Mansion, I had never heard of Prince An getting married.

The Queen Mother was in high spirits when she saw Prince An, and she was really happy to see this.

The three of them had dinner together.

Prince Xiao An certainly would not act like a playboy in front of the Queen Mother. If it weren't for the rumors about him, everyone would think he was a "gentle and elegant" nobleman.

"Cousin, did you encounter any interesting things on your way to Beijing? Can you share them with me?"

Little Prince An asked Lin Qingyang “curiously”.

Lin Qingyang was sitting on the other side of the Queen Mother. When she saw Prince Xiao An asking questions, she didn't know where to start.

The Queen Mother said with a smile: "You, boy, didn't you go out of the capital a while ago? Tell me what interesting things you encountered first, and let this old woman and your cousin hear it."

Yes, Prince An did not live in the capital for a long time without leaving the house.

Although he had a bad reputation, Prince An had also served in the army. Moreover, he was a man and had more conveniences when he was outside. Lin Qingyang grew up in the countryside, and there were indeed many interesting stories from his childhood in the countryside. But there were no interesting things on the way to Beijing, only thrilling things.

"My stories are not interesting. I heard that there was a fire in the inn where my cousin stayed when she came to Beijing. I don't know whether it is true or not." Little Prince An continued to inquire.

"There was a big fire and I was a little scared. Fortunately, I escaped quickly." Lin Qingyang answered lightly.

Lin Qingyang did not talk about the true experience of escaping death twice. And who was the one who wanted to kill him and who saved him? It has not been figured out yet.

The Queen Mother was extremely shocked when she heard the two people talking about the fire in the inn outside the capital.

"What? There was a fire at the inn where Yang'er was staying. Jing Sui, how did you know about it?"

The Queen Mother said this while looking at Prince Xiao An, and then at Lin Qingyang beside her.

"Grandma, the fire happened at the Yong'an Inn on the east side of the city. It's the closest inn outside the city. The news has spread all over the city. My cousin must stay at this inn when she comes to the city. I heard that the prime minister's mansion has sent a car to pick her up. I'm glad I saw my cousin today and she's fine."

After Prince Xiao An explained, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. After all, nothing unexpected happened to Lin Qingyang that she had met.

Lin Qingyang didn’t think much in her previous life, but in this life, she has to consider everything more.

Why did Prince Xiao An ask about the fire outside Beijing? Seeing him in person, I know it's nothing, but if he said that, the Queen Mother would definitely be anxious. Did he deliberately tell her about it?

After dinner, Prince Xiao An did not leave the palace and return home, but stayed in the palace.

During the days he stayed in the Empress Dowager's palace, he was served by a lively palace maid named Chunyue.

While bathing, Chunyue was serving him.

"Chunyue, you have been in the palace for so long, does the little Prince An often come back to live in the palace?" Lin Qingyang asked casually. In the previous life, I didn't care about Prince An, but after meeting him today, I always felt that Prince An's eyes were very familiar.

"I don't live here often. Ever since Prince An took Sister Yan'er as his concubine, he has returned to the palace less often." Chunyue added some hot water to Qingyang.

"Who is Yan'er?" Lin Qingyang was curious.

"She was a maidservant of the Queen Mother. She was about to reach the age to leave the palace, but was spotted by His Royal Highness Prince An and was taken to his palace to be his concubine." Chunyue replied.

"Is Miss Yan'er pretty?" Lin Qingyang asked.

"She's not that pretty, and she's a very honest person. There are many women in the palace who are more outstanding than her. The prince has no princess consort now, and I don't know how Sister Yan'er is doing. I just heard that Prince An didn't bring many women back to the palace." The little girl was in high spirits and talked more and more.

“Chun Yue, don’t tell anyone else what you told me today. If anyone talks about the master, I will punish you if you offend him.”

Lin Qingyang reminded Chunyue softly.

Chunyue was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground, "Girl, I won't dare to do it again."

Qing Yang motioned for her to get up.

This maid has been in the palace for several years and is by the Empress Dowager's side. How could she be so ignorant of the seriousness of the situation? It is a miracle that she can survive.
