The Empress Dowager was in a good mood after arriving at Cheng De Villa, especially when she saw Liu Zhihua and the other beauties. She thought highly of them. Compared to the beauties of previous years, they were more outstanding and beautiful. As long as they all entered the palace, the inner palace would no longer be Lu Yaoyao's world. We don't write, we're just web text porters.
"Empress Dowager, this is the flower tea this subject personally brewed. Please try it." Liu Zhihua came in with a cup of tea and looked gently at the Empress Dowager.
"Zhihua likes to play with these things. This subject used to like Bi Luo Chun, but now I only love her flower tea. Not only do I sleep better at night, even my face is smoother." Old Princess An smiled at the Empress Dowager.
"Really?" The Empress Dowager looked at Old Princess An and found that her face was really smooth. "So Zhihua has such an ability. Other than this, are there any other effects?"
Liu Zhihua smiled. "There's also flower tea to relieve fatigue. But those flowers are not easy to find. This subject can only dry some ordinary flower tea."
The Empress Dowager nodded. "It's rare to have such thoughts."
Liu Zhihua brought the tea to the Empress Dowager. "Empress Dowager, try it."
"En, very fragrant." The Empress Dowager took a sip and nodded in satisfaction. Her eyes were full of praise as she looked at Liu Zhihua.
Old Princess An saw that the Empress Dowager seemed to like Liu Zhihua and was relieved. Seeing the other officials bring their daughters to Cheng De Villa, she had been nervous for a long time, afraid that the Empress Dowager would forget Liu Zhihua's existence.
But reality proved that her niece was still the most outstanding.
The Empress Dowager said. "The Emperor is usually very tired. If you have flower tea to relieve fatigue, leave some with aijia. Aijia can get someone to bring it to the Emperor."
Liu Zhihua's heart moved. Thinking of the handsome Emperor, she blushed slightly. "Yes, Empress Dowager."
"Aijia doesn't have a companion here. Zhihua is not bad, let her stay with aijia." The Empress Dowager turned and said to Old Princess An.
Old Princess An could not ask for more. If she stayed with the Empress Dowager, she would have more opportunities to see the Emperor. "It's Empress Dowager's fortune to see Zhihua."
The Empress Dowager seemed to be very satisfied with Princess An's flattery and nodded with satisfaction.
"You must be tired from the long journey. Empress Dowager must be tired. I won't disturb you any longer." Old Wang Fei gave Liu Zhihua a look. Although she was the Old Wang Fei, she did not live here. She lived in another place with the womenfolk of the other ministers.
"Aijia is indeed a little tired." The Empress Dowager said and asked Liu Zhihua to send Old Princess An off.
Liu Zhihua sends Old Princess An out.
"It is a great opportunity to be by the Empress Dowager's side. But you have to remember, you have to be steady in everything. I believe that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor do not like frivolous women." Old An Wang Fei reminded Liu Zhihua in a low voice.
"Aunt, don't worry, I know." Liu Zhihua lightly nodded her head. Ever since she saw the emperor that day, her mind was filled with his figure. He was the husband she dreamed of. Even though he did not notice her, but she believed that as long as she could enter the palace, he would know how good she was.
Old An Wang Fei was very at ease with this niece of hers, "Serve the Empress Dowager well. If you can enter the palace, she will be your strongest support."
"I understand." Liu Zhihua said.
"No need to send me off, let's stop here." Old An Wang Fei stopped. Her eyes looked around and she said in a low voice, "There must be a reason why the Empress Dowager called the other beauties here. They are both beauties like you and there is a possibility of competition. However, you must not lower your status. Before everything is settled, everything you do may fall into the eyes of others. Be careful of being used against you."
Liu Zhihua originally did not like those beauties. Hearing Old An Wang Fei say this, she immediately came to her senses, "I will not provoke others first. I will serve the Empress Dowager with all my heart."
Old An Wang Fei was almost done and felt that her niece had listened. She then left with peace of mind.
When Liu Zhihua returned to the room, the Empress Dowager was already asleep.
Jin Ping curtsied, "Miss Liu, the Empress Dowager has ordered nubi to bring you to Listening Spring Hall."
"Then I will have to trouble Miss Jin Ping." Liu Zhihua said with a smile.
The Empress Dowager had arranged for Liu Zhihua's room to be in the west wing closest to the sleeping hall. It could be seen how much importance she placed on Liu Zhihua.
Liu Zhihua knew that this was the Empress Dowager's love for her. She was proud and happy inside, but she did not dare show it on her face, "Miss Jin Ping, this is a perfume pouch I made from dried flowers. Please don't dislike it."
Jin Ping looked in surprise at Liu Zhihua, "Miss Liu, nubi cannot accept it."
"This isn't anything valuable, unless Miss Jin Ping dislikes it." Liu Zhihua said with a smile, shoving the perfume pouch into Jin Ping's hands.
"But …" Jin Ping did not want to accept it. She was afraid that she would be caught in a dilemma.
Liu Zhihua did not see her hesitation and said with a smile, "I will be by the Empress Dowager's side in the next few days. I don't know what the Empress Dowager likes. If I do something wrong, please remind me."
Jin Ping said in a low voice, "Miss Liu, just call nubi Jin Ping."
"Alright." Liu Zhihua looked at Jin Ping with a smile. She had observed that the Empress Dowager had two main palace maids that were more favored. One was Jin Ping, the other was Xiu Ping. Xiu Ping seemed to be the most favored by the Empress Dowager, but her eyes were too frivolous. Liu Zhihua did not want to be associated with this kind of person for now.
"Then Miss Liu should rest first. When the Empress Dowager wakes up, she will take care of you." Jin Ping said in a low voice.
Liu Zhihua smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your reminder."
Jin Ping smiled and left the room with her head down.
In reality, Liu Zhihua did not feel tired at all. Rather, she felt an indescribable excitement. She felt that she would soon be able to see the Emperor again. This was the thing she was most excited about.
She heard that the Emperor lived in Clear Spring Hall, so it shouldn't be far from here.
Liu Zhihua walked out of the room, resisting the urge to go out. It was good to meet the Emperor, but not at this time. She still needed to make the Empress Dowager like her more.
"Have you seen the Empress?"
"I've seen her from afar. She is an absolute beauty …"
At the side, there were two little palace maids whispering. They did not notice Liu Zhihua standing under the eaves.
"I also heard that the Empress is the most beautiful woman in the capital. No wonder the Emperor only dotes on her."
"She is the most beautiful woman in the world. I've never seen anyone as beautiful as the Empress in my life."
"I heard that the Emperor didn't go to the inner palace in the past. With the Empress, it's different …"
"Don't talk about it. The Empress Dowager doesn't like us mentioning the Empress."
The most beautiful woman? A trace of mockery flashed in Liu Zhihua's eyes. This was flattery!
