Back in the palace, Ye Zhen was not immediately free because it was the day when the beauties entered the palace and she had to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Because of her busy schedule, she temporarily forgot that Lu Lingzhi might be in Xiliang.
"The Son of Heaven, the Spring morning sun, the Autumn evening moon. The sun rose in the morning, the moon set in the evening. Is the Mid-Autumn Festival ready? "The Empress Dowager asked Ye Zhen faintly without raising her head.
"Imperial Mother, the preparations for paying respects to Moon Mama are in progress. This concubine will ask about it every day, so there shouldn't be any problems." On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, as the Empress, she needed to lead the concubines in the palace to worship the moon. However, the Empress Dowager didn't seem to want her to do this.
The Empress Dowager nodded lightly. "At that time, I will lead the people in the palace to worship together."
Ye Zhen didn't want to argue with the Empress Dowager on these things. Anyway, as long as the Empress Dowager was happy, it would be fine. "Yes, mother."
"I remember that your two elder brothers haven't married yet," the Empress Dowager suddenly asked.
"Mother, do you mean?" Ye Zhen was a little unsure who the Empress Dowager was referring to. In her heart, there were only two brothers, one was Ye Chunnan and the other was Lu Xiangzhi. But with her identity as Lu Yaoyao, she seemed to have several brothers.
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly. "Besides Lu Xiangzhi and Ye Chunnan, which other brothers of yours will care about you?"
Ye Zhen smiled, "Why did Muhou mention them?"
"Aijia remembers that they are not married yet." The Empress Dowager looked at Ye Zhen with a smile.
"Yes, but they should be almost there." Ye Zhen said with a smile. She already understood what the Empress Dowager was going to do. Her two brothers were not married yet. Was she going to bestow marriage upon them?
Ha, ha, with the Empress Dowager's disgust for her, she didn't think that the Empress Dowager would give her brothers a good marriage.
The Empress Dowager smiled. "Is that so? Which family's girl are they all settled on?"
"Lu's brother has only recently been removed from his clothes. I don't think he will get married so soon. As for General Ye, you have to ask your concubine's biological father." Ye Zhen said faintly. She did not like the Empress Dowager's plan to arrange her brothers' marriages.
Just as she had said before, she was a very protective person, so she would definitely not let anyone hurt her family.
The Empress Dowager smiled faintly. It could be seen that Lu Yaoyao valued her two brothers very much. She seemed to have found the Empress' weakness and her mood immediately became bright and radiant.
Ye Rou lowered her eyes and bowed, "If muhou has no other instructions, then this concubine will take her leave first."
"Then let's go back." The Empress Dowager waved her hand.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Probably because the beauties were about to enter the palace, the Empress Dowager did not make things difficult for Ye Zhen. The Mid-Autumn Festival passed smoothly.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was time for the beauties to enter the palace.
"Niang niang, the xiunu entered the palace today." Hong Ling brushed Ye Zhen's hair and said with some indignation.
"Didn't you already know that there would be a beauty entering the palace today? Why do you care?" Ye Zhen smiled faintly. She cared about those beauties as much as she cared about other concubines in the palace. She knew that Mo Rongzhan would not touch them, let alone dote on them, but she still felt disgusted.
Hong Ling curled her lips and said, "The Empress Dowager gave the order early in the morning to let those beauties live in Chuxiu Palace. After today's selection, she will teach them the rules."
Ye Zhen looked up at her. "Liu Zhihua has also entered the palace. The Empress Dowager naturally cares about her."
"Niang niang, do you really not care at all?" Hong Ling asked helplessly. They were all secretly anxious for the Empress. What if some of the beauties really approached the Emperor with the help of the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager still had no children.
"What can this Empress care about?" Ye Zhen raised a faint smile. "What should be this Empress will be this Empress."
What did she care about? If Mo Rongzhan took a fancy to other women, it would be useless even if she stared at him every day. As for those beauties, could she always stop them?
It was meaningless.
"Niang niang!" Hong Ling knew that no one in the palace could compare with the Empress, but she was still worried.
"Go and see if Doctor Qi has entered the palace. If he is in the palace, ask him to come over." Ye Zhen said with a smile. Instead of worrying about whether the Empress Dowager would help Liu Zhihua stay, it was better to do something she liked.
"Yes, Niang niang." Hong Ling saluted.
Ye Zhen still wanted to set up the clinic. Now it was autumn, and when winter came, more and more people would fall ill. Without the clinic, many people's illnesses would not be treated in time.
However, it was obvious that someone did not want her life to be too easy.
Pei shi handed over a sign today and asked to see her. Ye Zhen hurriedly asked someone to invite her in. If it was not an urgent matter, Pei shi would not suddenly enter the palace to see her.
Ye Zhen was thinking about what would happen when she saw Pei shi coming in from outside.
"This official's wife greets the Empress." As soon as Pei shi saw Ye Zhen, she knelt down and saluted.
"Niang, why are you in the palace? Did something happen?" Ye Zhen held Pei shi before she could salute and sat down directly on the big kang by the window.
Pei shi looked at her with a smile. "Nothing really can be hidden from your eyes."
"Mother and daughter are connected." Ye Zhen smiled.
"I came for your brother's marriage." Pei shi whispered, "A few days ago, Madame Liu came to our house and wanted to marry her daughter to your brother."
Ye Zhen froze for a moment. "Which Madame Liu?"
"It's the Liu family of Qingyuan. I heard that they sent a daughter to the palace to be a beauty." Pei shi said with a smile. The Liu family was a famous family. She did not expect that they would take a fancy to the Lu family.
"I remember that Madame Liu has only one daughter." Moreover, it was an old daughter. That's why Liu Zhihua was so favored in the Liu family. How could Madame Liu have a daughter?
Pei shi said, "It's not the first branch's, it's the second branch's. In any case, it's the daughter of the Liu family."
"Niang, have you seen the girl?" Ye Zhen asked with a frown.
"No, that's why I came to the palace to ask you." Pei shi said with a smile, "What do you think?"
She didn't think much at all. The Liu family suddenly talked about marriage with the Lu family. It must have something to do with the Empress Dowager.
"Niang, a good background does not mean a good character. Let's see the girl first. Besides, my brother must like her." Ye Zhen didn't directly say no. She could see that Pei shi wanted Lu Xiangzhi to marry a noble girl, so she didn't want to say anything at once.
"That's also true. I should have another look, in case your brother doesn't like it." Pei shi said with a smile, "Anyway, there's no hurry. Your brother will return to the capital next year. Let him see the girl then."
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, but in her heart, she felt very angry.
The Empress Dowager's hand stretched too far.
