Chapter 41 Meeting Empress Dowager Daiyu

The princess sat in the courtroom, waiting for the emperor's decree.

The matter was urgent, and the admiral of the Nine Gates went to the emperor, and added more details about how the princess caused troubles, which made the yamen run wild, and now the case could not be handled, etc., which made the emperor furious.This swallow is simply messing around, and even learned how to use the queen mother.

The crown prince listened earnestly from the sidelines, he was anxious, this swallow is definitely not a man of affairs, he can only cause trouble. "Huang Ama, Princess Yanzi is not too young now, Huang Ama should also make a marriage for the princess, and hug her wild horse!"

"Hmm! What you said makes sense! How do you think Princess Swallow's marriage will be decided?"

"According to my subject, if she is a prince or aristocrat, the princess will definitely become more arrogant and indulgent. According to the princess' temperament, besides the emperor, queen and queen mother, who else does she value?"

"It's also because she was sickly when she was a child, and she was used to being used by the empress! She was naughty and cute when she was young, but now that she's older, it's getting harder and harder! Always causing trouble, hmph!"

"According to my subjects, Yinhe is the number one scholar this year. He is only nineteen years old. Because of his poor family, he has not yet married. What does Huang Ama think?"

"Yeah!" The emperor's face was a little good, "I think it's good, and now I have to discuss it with the queen mother. It's not a problem that the family is not good, and the princess's wedding will naturally be given to him!"

"In my opinion, it's better to deal with these two matters at the same time. Since the queen mother wanted to see the young lady of the Lin family, Huang Ama followed the queen mother's wish and settled the princess's thoughts. It's a bit far-fetched that this matter in Jia's house will affect the Lin family. Ama might as well let this young lady go."

"Huh? There is such a thing? I don't know yet! It can be seen that the place is very chaotic!" The emperor paused, and said to the admiral of the nine gates, "You go back and release that Miss Lin family. What are you doing, why are you arresting her?"

"This matter was also reported by the subordinates. Before I could investigate, I let her go. Then, should the princess be sent to the palace?" The admiral of the Nine Gates was jealous of the princess, fearing that she would cause trouble again, so he said.

"Don't worry about that, if the lady lets go, the princess will rush to bring her to the palace to meet the queen mother!" said the prince.

The admiral of the Nine Gates hurriedly knelt down, "I will do it now, I will leave!"

······

When Yanzi saw Daiyu, she was really well, and asked some more about Daiyu's situation inside, and then put out the fire.She pulled Daiyu into the car, the admiral of the Nine Gates did not dare to be careless, knelt to see the princess off, and ordered the police to escort Princess Yanzi's car to the outside of the palace, the guards took over, and the police went back to report.

The princess dragged Daiyu into the palace laughing and laughing. Along the way, the maids and eunuchs knelt down on the ground.

After entering the queen mother's palace, they saw the emperor and the queen mother talking, and when they saw her coming, they all stopped talking.

Daiyu heard the princess calling the empress dowager and the empress dowager, she didn't dare to raise her head, she knelt down hurriedly according to what she heard before, "The sinner Lin Daiyu kowtowed to the empress dowager, please greet the empress dowager!"

"Yeah!" The Empress Dowager smiled and said to the emperor, "Looking at this little girl, I know how to be polite!"

"I grant you innocence, raise your head, and let the queen mother look at you!" The emperor was serious, he knew that the queen mother wanted to see her.

Seeing the emperor's order, Daiyu hurriedly changed her words: "Thank you Lord Long En! It's just that women don't know the rules, and they are afraid of disturbing Long Yan!"

"Hehehe, why not, listen to Princess Yanzi saying that you are not ugly, look up!" The queen mother joked.

Daiyu slowly raised her head and looked at the ground.

"Hmm!" The Emperor Niusu smiled slightly.

"Sure enough, you look good! I heard that you came back from the dead, is there such a thing?" the Queen Mother said.

"It's true! The daughter of the people has to be rescued by a woman!" Daiyu didn't dare to say more.

"Oh? Is this really the case?" The emperor likes to meditate and enlighten, "Please tell me in detail!"

"Queen Dowager, Huang Ama, my younger sister is weak, and her body will be damaged if she kneels for a long time!" Yanzi said urgently when she saw that Daiyu had been kneeling there.

"Huh?" The emperor heard Yanzi calling her younger sister, and wanted to mess around, but it was inconvenient to scold Yanzi. The queen mother was in a state of excitement, and said: "Forever, give me a seat!"

"Daiyu, a civilian girl, dare not sit down. To be able to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty is already a virtue accumulated by her ancestors, and a civilian girl is lucky to have three lives!"

"Sit down, look at this child, his body is delicate, and now he has no father and no mother, it's so pitiful!" The queen mother said sadly, wiping her tears.When the emperor heard about it, his heart was also touched, and he looked at her with pity.

"Oh, sister, how dare you disobey the Queen Mother's will, come, sit next to the Queen Mother, and talk carefully!" Yanzi couldn't resist, pulled Daiyu up, and put her on the Queen Mother's bed , sitting side by side with the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager stroked Daiyu's emaciated body, and love arose in her heart, "No wonder Yanzi likes it, even if I first saw her, I also like it! Well, Yanzi didn't lie to me, but this body smells like medicine!"

"Huh?!" The emperor was amazed, but he couldn't smell it himself, so he said, "She is a strange woman!"

Daiyu explained how her parents died, how she stayed at her grandmother's house, how she died of illness, how she was rescued by her teacher, and so on.The Empress Dowager listened attentively, and after hearing this, the Empress Dowager sighed unceasingly, and felt more and more fond of pity Daiyu.The emperor suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "Did you also live in the Grand View Garden before?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your sisters still set up a poetry club in the Grand View Garden?" the emperor asked again.

"It's all the little sisters together, making fun of each other!"

"I heard Concubine Yuan mention this. It's interesting. Some poems are so ethereal that they can be compared to No. [-] in the list. For example, there is a poem written by her younger brother, titled "Apricot Curtain in Looking"." The emperor suddenly became interested and chanted Said: "Apricot curtain invites guests to drink, and there is a villa in Wangwang. Water chestnut geese, mulberry elm and swallow beams. A bed of spring leeks is ripe, and ten miles of rice flowers are fragrant. There is no hunger in a prosperous age, so why bother with farming and weaving." After the emperor finished singing, he thought to himself Looking at Concubine Yuan, thinking how happy it was to be together in the past, but now that she is dead, her face turned sad.

Daiyu was startled, this song was my old work, and the imperial concubine actually passed it on to the palace.She was also happy that the emperor liked it, so she had an idea at this time, and she didn't know that this was her old work.Thinking this way, the emperor said again: "This song is very good, I really like it. Have you ever done it in your daily life? Why don't you sing two songs and let me listen to them."

"Oh, Huang Ama, I would have forgotten if you didn't mention this poem. My sister has a parrot, which not only learns human language, but also recites poems! The young master bought it. Do you think it’s a coincidence?! My sister actually met this young master.” Yanzi said this, and then she shook out that Daiyu was bullied by the young master to speak out, how could she make peace in the restaurant.After hearing this, the emperor felt mixed feelings, and he was delighted that the parrot was loved by this young lady who could recite poems, and all of them recited her old works.I was also surprised that the swallow was messing around outside, if it hurts, how can I explain to the queen mother? !The emperor was thinking about it, but the queen mother said happily.

"There is such a parrot? Where is it? I want to see it!"

"His family lives in Ximen Hutong, Ximen Bridge, and there is an old locust tree with a crooked neck at the door, which is his home." Yanzi said, "It's not difficult, Zuoren just go and reward him with some silver!"

"Well, I think it will work!" The emperor said.
