Helpless, Cold-Blooded Five could only use some of his concealment skills to protect Ye Lang. This was an important skill that an assassin needed to learn, it could use some alchemy tools to freeze a part of the environment, making it look like there was no change on the outside.
"What? Don't be so nervous. If I'm discovered, I have a way to deal with it." When Cold-Blooded Five used something, Ye Lang immediately noticed it. He was still very sensitive to these things.
"You have a way …" I have no way, alright? "Cold-Blooded Five didn't want to talk too much with Ye Lang, afraid that Ye Lang would give him another answer that would make him speechless.
"Oh, alright then! You play with me, I'll eat mine! "Ye Lang began to eat the snacks and tea, drinking the fragrant tea with a look of enjoyment.
The things of the royal family were indeed extraordinary. However, Ye Lang wouldn't be able to enjoy them for long …
"The empress dowager has arrived?!" When the official heard the guard's report, he found out that the empress dowager would be here soon. This made him feel strange.
Could it be that the empress dowager was going to personally greet this Miss Lady? Or was it just a coincidence that she was just passing by?
"Let's go welcome her!" No matter what, since the empress dowager was coming, they had to go out and welcome her.
The officials and maids immediately went out to wait. Regarding this, Ye Lang felt that it was better this way, and continued to eat and drink tea, not having the slightest intention of going back to hide.
Don't forget, if the empress dowager wanted to come here, she would definitely talk to Miss Lady Lady, and at that time, Ye Lang, who was on the table, would definitely be discovered.
"Go back!" Cold-Blooded Five immediately dragged Ye Lang back and jumped back into the small bag he was hiding in.
"My snacks …" Ye Lang said vaguely, because his mouth was filled with snacks and tea fruits.
"Snacks your head, can't you just get the puppet to bring it back? "Stupid!" Cold-Blooded Five unhappily knocked Ye Lang and grabbed his hand, afraid that he would run out again.
"That's right, no one will see it now. If I put those things in my bag, no one will say that my puppet is rude." Only then did Ye Lang think of this. He immediately controlled the puppet to take the things and stuff them into his bag.
He didn't even think about why the empress dowager would come here and how he should deal with it!
Lengxue Five was also curious, but he knew that this matter could only be known when the Empress Dowager herself came.
Soon, the Empress Dowager arrived. She sat down in front of the puppet girl and looked at her for a while …
At this time, Cold-Blooded Five, the officials, and the maids were all waiting for the puppet girl (Ye Lang) to make a move. The Empress Dowager was already here, why were you still sitting? At the very least, you should stand up and greet her.
What they didn't expect was that not only did Ye Lang not make a move, he even said something that made everyone laugh — —
"Auntie, you should eat some of this too. It tastes pretty good." When the puppet girl saw that the Empress Dowager was sitting in front of her, she greeted her politely. Under normal circumstances, she would not be rude.
Those who were familiar with Ye Lang would not be worried. He would just be muddle-headed sometimes!
Just like at this moment, he was confused. He actually called the Empress Dowager Auntie. This was naturally because he didn't know that the person in front of him was the Empress Dowager. If he did, he would definitely call her Empress Dowager.
Just now, Ye Lang didn't even pay attention to the words of the Vermillion Bird officials, so he didn't know that the Empress Dowager was coming. Even if he knew that she was coming, if no one said anything, he definitely wouldn't think that the person in front of him was the Empress Dowager.
This couldn't be blamed on Ye Lang, because this Empress Dowager was too young. She looked to be in her forties, like a noble and beautiful madam, not at all like the legendary Empress Dowager.
One had to know that the emperor of the Vermillion Bird Empire was already in his forties this year, and his mother, the Empress Dowager, was already in her sixties or seventies.
How could he treat the person in front of him as the Empress Dowager?
"How dare you!"
"How rude!"
"Do you know who she is …"
All of a sudden, the Vermillion Bird officials and maids all started to speak, reprimanding Ye Lang. However, they quickly calmed down because the Empress Dowager gently raised her hand, indicating for everyone to be quiet.
"Don't make a sound. Calling me Auntie is also not bad. I haven't heard that in a long time. It makes me feel younger by a few decades." The Empress Dowager said with a light smile.
"You're still a few decades younger. That way, you'll turn into a little girl." The puppet girl said in a daze. Forty years minus a few decades, didn't that make her ten years or even younger? Not to mention a few decades, she could be considered a few decades old.
"Hehe, you're a very interesting little girl. These words make me feel very comfortable." The Empress Dowager smiled, seemingly very happy. Women, no matter how old they were, would always want to hear others praise them for being young and beautiful.
"…"
Was this Miss Lady pretending to be confused? To be able to make the Empress Dowager so happy, it seemed that she was not a simple character! This was what the officials and maids thought.
As for Cold-Blooded Five who was with Ye Lang, he also thought that Ye Lang was coaxing the empress dowager, thinking that he was paving the way for the mission. However, he did not know that this empress dowager was indeed a bit too young, at least on the outside. She could not be like Ye Lang, looking at people through the eyes of a puppet.
"You …" The puppet girl stared at the Empress Dowager, as if she was thinking about something. Her expression was exactly the same as Ye Lang's. Right now, Ye Lang and the puppet girl's thoughts were synchronized.
You what you? How long do you want to sit with the Empress Dowager? What an unruly noble lady.
"Auntie, I seem to have seen your face somewhere before …" The puppet girl looked at the Empress Dowager and tried her best to recall. She felt that it was very strange. The auntie in front of her seemed a little familiar, but she could not remember knowing such an auntie.
"Perhaps we've met before!" The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment before smiling. Those who did not know would think that this little girl was hitting on her. However, if that was the case, it would be too obvious.
"Perhaps. I don't remember … "The puppet girl shook her head. She really could not remember, so she could only give up.
"Little girl, your name is Lady, right?" The Empress Dowager asked with a smile.
"Yes, Auntie, what about you?" The puppet girl replied.
Auntie …
"My name is … You should call me Auntie. If I tell you my name, it will be very troublesome for you." The Empress Dowager wanted to say it, but the people beside her immediately wanted to stop her, so she changed her words.
How could the Empress Dowager's name be said casually? Not just anyone could hear it. If she said it at this time, then everyone here would be in trouble.
"Oh, alright then, Auntie!"
"Yes, good girl!" The Empress Dowager patted the puppet girl lightly and continued, "Lady, I heard that you bought a necklace at the auction house yesterday. Can you give it to me? My granddaughter likes it very much, but you snatched it away. That girl almost cried to death yesterday! "
