?
Ye Yaoyao's idea was relatively simple. Although she knew that someone deliberately used her to do things that were not good for Lu Yaoyao, she felt that she was innocent, so she should come and talk to Lu Yaoyao. She never thought that this would give others something to use against her. 【】
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Since I said that I wouldn't see you, why did you ignore your injuries and wait outside the Lu family's residence for two hours? Do you want others to think that I'm cold and heartless? That I wouldn't even see an injured person and I would go through so much trouble?"
"I … I thought you were blaming me." Ye Yaoyao whispered.
Ye Zhen's pink lips curved into a faint smile. She really didn't know whether Ye Yaoyao was too simple or too stupid. She didn't understand the ways of the world at all, completely based on her own mood and opinion. Even if others had refused, she couldn't care less.
"I don't blame you, Miss Ye." Ye Zhen said, looking at her seriously. "If there is nothing else, I will go out. I will let someone send you back."
Ye Yaoyao was embarrassed and looked at Ye Zhen with embarrassment and guilt.
"Have a good rest." Ye Zhen said lightly, turned and walked out.
When Ye Zhen walked away, Chun Mei whispered, "Is she still going out at this time?"
When the maid in the room heard this, she looked at her and said with a smile, "Our young lady usually doesn't like to go out, but the Empress Dowager sent an oral order yesterday, asking our young lady to enter the palace today."
Chun Mei hurriedly looked back at Ye Yaoyao, whose face turned green and white.
Ye Zhen went to the upper room before going out. Since Lu Lingzhi and Lu Xiangzhi left the capital, Old Madam Lu's life has become more and more quiet. Lu Tingzhi and his brother sent Lu Jing to Jinkou City. Yesterday, they heard that the old madam wanted to go to her mother's house, but it was a little far from the capital in the south. No one trusted the old madam to travel far.
The old madam was like an old child. Yesterday, she was angry with Lu Shiming, and even Ye Zhen disappeared.
"Chen, how is grandmother's mood today?" Ye Zhen went to the upper room and saw Chen standing outside. She walked over and asked in a low voice.
"Today is the same. She is clamoring to go back to her mother's house. The third madam is coaxing her inside."
Ye Zhen smiled helplessly. "I'll go in."
She lifted the curtains and walked in, not disturbing the two people who were talking on the kang bed by the window. She could only hear Old Madam calling out, "… I'm someone who's going to enter the coffin at any moment. If I don't go back while I'm still able to walk, I won't have the chance to go back in this lifetime. Ever since I married into the Lu Family, I've never gone back to my maiden home. No matter what, I must go back this time."
Madam Pei smiled. "Mother, you will definitely live a long life. Don't say such things."
Old Madam Lu cried out, "I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Mother …" Pei shi couldn't stop her. She didn't understand what was going on with the old mistress. Why was she acting more and more like a child?
"Grandma, I'm here." Ye Zhen smiled, winked at Pei Shi, and sat down beside the old lady. "Where is your maiden home?"
Old Madam Lu seemed to have forgotten that she did not see Ye Zhen yesterday and replied with a smile, "It's in Nanjiang, not far at all. If we go by water, we will arrive in a few days."
"That's not far." Ye Zhen nodded and immediately received a warning look from Pei shi. "But, grandma, are you going back alone?"
"What's wrong?" The old lady looked at Ye Zhen suspiciously.
Ye Rou leaned on her shoulder and said softly, "You didn't even go back when we were in the manor. Now that our family is in dire straits, if you go back like this, we, as the younger generation, will feel sorry for you. Grandmother, when Big Brother and my brother come back, they will have done a good deed again. Isn't it better to go back with you in glory? Or … do you think there is no such opportunity? "
Old Madam Lu immediately cried, "How can there be no such opportunity? My grandsons are all very courageous. "
"Grandma, let's wait for my brothers to come back and then go back to Nanjiang. At that time, everyone will accompany you back." Ye Zhen said.
"What you said makes sense …" Old Madam Lu nodded, convinced.
Pei shi glanced at her daughter. Sure enough, only Yao Yao could persuade the old lady.
After persuading the old lady, Ye Zhen entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager.
With so many things happening recently, Ye Zhen had not entered the palace. When the Empress Dowager saw her, she smiled and pulled her to her side to sit down. "Is it because aijia made you a princess that you are unwilling to enter the palace to accompany aijia?"
Ye Zhen hurriedly smiled. "Empress Dowager, how can I not be willing? I'm just afraid that you don't like me anymore."
The Empress Dowager tapped the tip of her nose. "Silly child, what are you talking about?"
"I'm just …" Ye Zhen sighed. "I'm afraid that you will be disappointed with me."
"Are you talking about Yao 'er's injury? Don't think too much about it. There must be someone manipulating this matter behind the scenes. The emperor has already sent people to investigate. I believe that the truth will come to light soon. Those people in the court have everything to say. You don't have to take it to heart. "
"Yesterday, Miss Ye went to see me. I didn't see her, so she stood outside the Lu family's house for an hour …" Ye Zhen whispered. "She is now recuperating in the Lu family's house."
The Empress Dowager frowned and shook her head. "Yao 'er is good at everything, but she thinks too simply."
It wasn't just too simple …
"Ai jia asked you to enter the palace today because there is something I want to tell you about Yao 'er." The Empress Dowager did not wait for Ye Zhen to speak and spoke again in a low voice.
"Please speak." Ye Zhen lowered her eyes.
The Empress Dowager didn't know that Ye Yaoyao was not the emperor's savior. What she was most angry about now was not Ye Yaoyao's injury, but the fact that the people in the court always quarreled with the emperor using Ye Yaoyao as a reason.
"Ai jia wants to make Yao 'er Concubine Yao." The Empress Dowager looked at Ye Zhen and said.
Ye Zhen was stunned. "Concubine Yao?"
"Since those ministers think that Yao 'er's eight characters are good, then let her enter the palace. She is just an orphan girl. It is enough for her to be Concubine Yao. It will not affect your status as an empress." The Empress Dowager smiled and said in a low voice, "As for the emperor's thoughts, you all know that he wants to marry you as his empress. Other people are not in his eyes now, even if there are more concubines, it will be the same."
Although Ye Zhen didn't want to be an empress, when she heard the Empress Dowager's words, she still felt … inexplicably uncomfortable.
The Empress Dowager held Ye Zhen's hand. "Ai jia hasn't discussed this matter with the emperor yet. Ai jia guessed that he would not agree, so Ai jia issued a decree first. He can't disagree even if he wants to."
"You want those ministers to have no reason to quarrel with the emperor. I think the emperor will understand." Ye Zhen whispered.
This was probably the answer the Empress Dowager wanted.
