?
Tang Zhen sighed and put away the reply. He knew that she must be angry. Mister Dan could not stay in the college. She must have thought it was him who did it. In fact, he just told the truth to the emperor. As for how to deal with Mister Dan, it was the emperor's idea.
Go to hell …
Just how much resentment did he have?
Tang Zhen felt that the road to winning the beauty's heart was getting farther and farther. Should he find an excuse to go to Lu Xiangzhi tomorrow, see her, and explain to her?
If Lu Xiangzhi was not around, he could still look for Third Old Master Lu. He had gotten to know Third Old Master Lu pretty well these few days in the imperial court. If he were to ask for Lu Xiangzhi's hand in marriage in the future, Third Old Master Lu would not make things difficult for him.
When he came to the door, Ye Zhen had already returned to the medical hall for class.
Ye Zhen did not want to see Tang Zhen at all. She knew that the person who made Mister Dan leave the college would not be him, but it was because of him.
As the end of the year approached, the college was about to have a holiday. After the spring, it would be the screening exam for female doctors. Ye Zhen had already told Qin Fuzi that she wanted to take the exam. There were two people in the first grade who took the exam in advance. In addition to Ye Zhen, there was also Gao Xueping.
Originally, she did not intend to return to the Lu family for the rest of the month. She planned to study medicine with Qin Fuzi in the college. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the Empress Dowager asked Aunt Cheng to come and take her to the palace.
She had not been to the palace for more than a month, but she knew that the little prince's illness had been greatly improved. He was just ordered not to leave the palace by the Empress Dowager.
"Aunt Cheng, how is the Empress Dowager recently?" On the way to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, Ye Zhen asked Aunt Cheng in a low voice. In fact, what she wanted to know was whether Lu Wushuang had been released.
"Everything is fine with the Empress Dowager, but she always mentions you." Aunt Cheng said with a smile. If it were another girl who was favored by the Empress Dowager like Lu Yaoyao, she would probably want to enter the palace every day to accompany the Empress Dowager. However, this Third Miss Lu seemed to forget everything immediately after leaving the palace. She devoted herself to learning and did not take the initiative to hand over a token to accompany the Empress Dowager.
She remembered that when she sent Third Miss Lu out of the palace last time, she had given her a token, allowing her to enter the palace at any time to seek an audience with the Empress Dowager.
Ye Zhen didn't know that Aunt Cheng was cursing her. When she heard that the Empress Dowager was well, she also showed a happy smile. "That's good. The Empress Dowager must be very busy recently. I heard that all the beauties have entered the palace."
"That's right. Imperial Consort Niang is still learning the rules. The Empress Dowager is watching over everything in the palace. She's much busier than before," Aunt Cheng said.
Oh! It seemed that Lu Wushuang was still grounded.
Ye Zhen's mood suddenly improved, and her footsteps became much lighter. When she arrived at the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, there was already a sweet smile on her face.
"Long live the Empress Dowager!" Ye Zhen entered the hall and saluted the Empress Dowager first. When the Empress Dowager asked her to rise, she found that there were other people present in the hall.
She knew one of them. She didn't expect Xu Huiru to be here too.
"Yao Yao is here. If Ai Jia doesn't summon you, you won't come to the palace to talk with Ai Jia." The Empress Dowager glared at Ye Zhen and took her hand.
Ye Zhen smiled shyly. "I'm afraid that Empress Dowager will annoy me."
Xu Huiru, who was sitting on the lower back chair, was dumbfounded. She was one of the few people who knew that Lu Yaoyao and Ye Zhen looked alike, but she didn't know that Lu Yaoyao could be so close to the Empress Dowager. Didn't the Empress Dowager know that Lu Yaoyao and Wang Fei looked alike?
Has the Emperor seen Lu Yaoyao? I heard that the current Emperor hates Ye Zhen very much, so he should be very disgusted when he sees Lu Yaoyao, right?
Xu Huiru looked at Ye Zhen, who was as close as a mother and daughter to the Empress Dowager. She couldn't help but be vigilant. She thought that Lu Yaoyao was really capable to make the Empress Dowager like her so much.
Unexpectedly, the Lu family had Lu Wushuang. After Lu Wushuang fell out of favor, they could raise another Lu Yaoyao.
"These are all this year's beauties. Come and pay your respects to Ai Jia."
Xu Huiru heard the Empress Dowager's voice in a trance. She immediately recovered and looked over with a dignified and elegant smile.
Ye Zhen tilted her head, her clear and bright eyes looking at her, startling Xu Huiru. "Miss Lu, why are you looking at me like this?"
"I was talking to the Empress Dowager about Xu Xiunv. When I first came to the capital, my sisters told me that Xu Xiunv is not only talented, but also beautiful. She really lives up to her reputation." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
She really looked forward to Xu Huiru's fierce fight with Lu Wushuang in the future.
The smile on Xu Huiru's mouth was a little forced. "That's all praise. With Miss Lu in the capital, who dares to call themselves beautiful?"
"Empress Dowager, is Xu Xiunv praising me for my good looks?" Ye Zhen turned her head and asked the Empress Dowager in a low voice.
"Look at your proud look." The Empress Dowager smiled and tapped Ye Zhen's forehead.
"Empress Dowager, is this girl the sister of Imperial Concubine Lu? Sure enough, she is as beautiful as Imperial Concubine Lu. "A woman in a beautiful dress sitting opposite Xu Huiru said with a smile.
Ye Zhen glanced at the woman and immediately recognized her as the beauty she had seen in the portrait last time. Her name was An Xiuzhen, the daughter of the magistrate of Pingliang County. Her gentle and pleasant appearance was very pleasing to the eye.
However, what she said was not very pleasing.
The Empress Dowager said lightly, "Aijia doesn't think Yao Yao and Imperial Concubine Lu are very similar."
An Xiuzhen smiled awkwardly. "That's because this servant's eyes are clumsy."
Ye Zhen looked at another silent beauty. Her name was Hu Yue 'er, the daughter of the magistrate. Her family background was relatively ordinary, but she was very delicate and lovely.
Xu Huiru saw that the Empress Dowager seemed to prefer to talk to Lu Yaoyao, so she stood up with a smile and said, "Empress Dowager, this servant will not disturb you anymore. After this servant finishes writing the scriptures tomorrow, I will bring them to you."
The Empress Dowager looked at Xu Huiru and nodded with satisfaction. "Then you can go back first."
An Xiuzhen didn't want to go, but since the Empress Dowager asked them to go back, she naturally couldn't stay. After saluting, she couldn't help but look at the woman beside the Empress Dowager.
That woman … was the most beautiful she had ever seen. With such a person walking in the palace, could the emperor still see other women?
When Xu Huiru and the others all retreated, Ye Zhen asked the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, are they the ones we saw last time?"
"Well, what do you think of them?" The Empress Dowager asked with a smile.
"They all seem to be excellent people." Jealousy, open strife, and covert strife were not a problem. It would definitely torment Mo Rongzhan to death.
The Empress Dowager nodded. "Although there are some small flaws, it is not a big problem."
Ye Zhen agreed enthusiastically.
The Empress Dowager looked at her with a smile. "In fact, it was not Aijia's idea to let you enter the palace today, but the emperor …"
