Li Helan smiled as she held the empress dowager's arm and said, "Why did imperial mother look for those two? If we don't bring them along, we'll be happy on our own. Just seeing them makes me annoyed. "
The empress dowager tapped Li Helan's forehead when she heard this, "You little girl, you're too stubborn. This large imperial palace is your imperial brother's home. You won't even accept your imperial brother's relatives? Then how will you have the nerve to walk around your imperial brother's home in the future? "
Li Helan choked. Thinking of Li Qitian's personality that was becoming more and more difficult to get along with, her heart was filled with fear.
"Alright. Then you can just call Consort Shun over. What kind of relative was Qin Yining, that little slut, a relative? She's just relying on her good looks and her husband's ability to fight. She's so arrogant, rushing to do things that she shouldn't do. She's so shameless! "
Consort Yi looked at the vulgar Li Helan and a trace of ridicule flashed through her eyes.
She was the eldest princess, but she spoke like a village woman.
However, it could be seen that Li Helan truly held a grudge against Qin Yining for being the wedding ambassador. However, if a bystander thought about it carefully, this matter was Your Majesty's imperial edict. Qin Yining could only follow the edict, right? The eldest princess was someone who would randomly vent her anger on someone she couldn't obtain. If the empress dowager was sensible, she would have spoken out to prevent the eldest princess and Qin Yining from deepening the conflict. However, the empress dowager didn't speak.
Consort Yi's eyes turned and she understood the empress dowager's meaning. She smiled and said, "Your highness the eldest princess is a golden branch and jade leaves. Why bicker with a stupid woman? This concubine heard that the Qin Clan was brought up by savages in the mountains. I don't know what kind of incense they burned in the end for Lord Qin to accept them."
Li Helan heard this and glanced at Consort Yi. She only snorted in agreement. She looked down on Qin Yining, but she also looked down on this vixen.
Imperial Concubine Yi was so angry that she almost fell backwards, but she did not dare show any dissatisfaction in front of the Empress Dowager. She could only laugh dryly and walk to the other side of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager patted the back of Imperial Concubine Yi's hand to comfort her. Then she ordered the palace maids to quickly invite Princess Tana and Qin Yining over.
At this moment, Qin Yining was listening to Princess Tana's lecture.
"You're a woman with an external title. Why are you dressed so seductively in the palace? Are you trying to seduce Your Majesty? Let me tell you, don't dream about it anymore. " Princess Tana's Da Zhou was much smoother now. Although the emphasis was weird, at least she could express the meaning clearly.
This way, it would be even easier to scold people.
Qin Yining knew what Princess Tana Na was thinking, so he didn't really take it to heart. He only said perfunctorily: "Concubine Shun niangniang is thinking too much. If Concubine Shun niangniang learns the language and etiquette, this subject's wife will naturally be able to leave. That way, you won't have to continue looking at this subject's disgusting face, right? Therefore, for your comfort and for this subject's freedom, you still have to learn the etiquette of Da Zhou. "
Princess Tana Na angrily glared at Qin Yining. She fiercely slammed the table: "You, go change out of this dress! You're not allowed to wear this color! "
Qin Yining lowered his head and looked at the lake blue robe he was wearing. This was a relatively simple set of clothes she brought into the palace. Only the cuffs and collar were embroidered with light-colored vine patterns to show the meaning of Ji Xiang.
Qin Yining sighed softly. Just as he was about to change his clothes, there was suddenly a report from outside.
"Replying to Concubine Shun niangniang, the Empress Dowager invites you and Prince Zhongshun to go to the warm pavilion in the imperial garden to enjoy the spring together."
Princess Tana Na narrowed her eyes. Displeasure flashed through her eyes.
She was very impatient to deal with that old woman, the Empress Dowager.
This old woman had a mean appearance. It was as if there were schemes and calculations hidden in the wrinkles on her face. It was really annoying.
However, she had been living in Da Zhou these days. She had listened to what the palace people said. She found that all the concubines in the palace were trying to curry favor with the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was the Emperor's mother. The Emperor naturally liked concubines who could get along well with the Empress Dowager. She was beautiful now, so the Emperor liked her. In the future, if the Emperor got tired of her, and she had a good relationship with the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager might be able to speak up for her.
With this thought, Princess Tana Na would try her best to restrain her sharpness in front of the Empress Dowager. She would not show any annoyance or strangeness. Even if the Empress Dowager was cold to her, she would treat her with courtesy. She would treat Your Majesty with the same patience to please the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, the impatience on Princess Tana Na's face only flashed by. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a pleasantly surprised smile.
"Really? That's great. Ben gong also misses the Empress Dowager. I was thinking of accompanying the Empress Dowager for a walk. " Princess Tana Na stood and cheerfully called the palace people. After taking two steps, she glanced sideways at Qin Yining. She said exasperatedly, "Don't go change your clothes. Let's go now. Don't waste time and ruin the Empress Dowager's mood. "
"Yes."
Qin Yining nodded in response. He turned to call Bing Tang and Ji Yun. "Go back to your rooms and get me a large sleeved outer garment."
The moment their gazes met, Bing Tang and Ji Yun were alarmed.
This was the first time that the Empress Dowager was willing to invite Consort Shun and Qin Yining to go out together. There had to be something strange. Wang Fei was reminding them to go back and take what they should take.
Bing Tang and Ji Yun immediately responded and quickly walked to the side hall.
Qin Yining followed behind Princess Tana Na and went down the red steps together.
Princess Tana Na glanced at Qin Yining's sickly appearance and said disdainfully, "It's so warm. Why are you still wearing a large sleeved outer garment? Your body is too weak. If this was on our grasslands, I'm afraid that no man would fancy you. A woman like you who might not even be able to give birth is not even worth as much as a horse! "
Qin Yining gently curved his lips and nodded in agreement. He said, "Consort Shun is right. When I gave birth, it did take half of my life. Consort Shun's body is strong. It will be easy to give birth in the future. "
Princess Tana Na first raised her head proudly. "That's right. Our women are very strong. They can ride horses, do household chores, and herd livestock. When the enemy comes, we can pick up weapons. Our women are more powerful than your cavalry. They are not like your women here. They can't survive without the protection of men. They only know how to dress up beautifully to win people's love. People look down on them. "
Qin Yining nodded with a smile. "Yes."
Princess Tana Na walked a few more steps before she realized that something was wrong.
"Are you mocking me for not having a child?"
"You think too much." Qin Yining said respectfully.
Princess Tana Na frowned suspiciously. Qin Yining's words just now were clearly mocking her for having a strong body but not having a child. Qin Yining was so weak but had a pair of twins.
Princess Tana Na became more and more irritated. "Don't be so proud. Even if you have a son, you have to be alive to raise him!"
Hearing that, Qin Yining frowned. Without waiting for him to refute, Princess Tana Na said again.
"You women in Da Zhou are really annoying!"
Qin Yining and the palace maids behind him couldn't help but look up at Princess Tana Na's back.
Princess Tana Na wasn't stupid. She was just used to being arrogant and never considered other people's feelings. Moreover, with her previous identity, she didn't need to consider other people's feelings. In her eyes, these palace maids who served her weren't human. They were perhaps similar to tables and chairs, dead objects that could be killed at any time.
However, Qin Yining knew that people's hearts were unpredictable. Even if a person was insignificant, they could play an unpredictable role at a critical moment.
She smiled comfortingly at the palace maids beside her.
The palace maids also smiled and lowered their heads again to follow Princess Tana Na's footsteps.
At this time, Bing Tang and Ji Yun caught up with Qin Yining's crescent-white robe with large sleeves and draped it over her shoulders.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Both of them shook their heads. "Princess, please don't be like this. This is our duty."
The palace maids in Chuxiu Palace couldn't help but feel envious of their harmonious relationship.
The Imperial Garden covered a large area. If there wasn't an official leading the way, they wouldn't have been able to find the warm room where the Empress Dowager was.
As they walked along the stone path, the Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine Yi, and Li Helan had already sat down in the warm room. They also ordered people to open the doors around the room.
"So slow. That Tatan woman must have been disrespectful to Imperial Mother. There's also that Qin person. Tatan woman spent all day with that lowly Qin person. She definitely couldn't have learned anything good. Imperial Mother needs to be more careful in the future. Don't be schemed against by those two people. "Li Helan held the Empress Dowager's arm and shook it.
The Empress Dowager said, "I know you hate the Qin Clan. Is your life not enough? Just live your own life. There's no need for you to interfere with aijia's business. "
Li Helan pursed his lips, but knew that he couldn't persuade her. He looked up through the window and saw a group of people approaching from afar.
Princess Tana was wearing a fresh magenta round-necked, narrow-sleeved robe. She wore a hat studded with pearls and gemstones. She was tall, had a rosy complexion, and her black hair was coiled up. This foreign style of dress was completely different from the other women in the palace. It was extremely eye-catching.
But the most eye-catching thing was that Qin Yining was following behind her. He was wearing a set of light blue clothes.
She wasn't even twenty years old yet. Her white and delicate skin was placed together with the moon-white satin outer robe. Under the brilliant contrast of the spring flowers, it was hard to tell whether her skin was more delicate or the satin was more delicate. Light pink and white flower petals floated around her shoulders and hair. When the flowers parted, her long hair swayed.
The fengshui of the palace was truly nourishing. This woman was even more beautiful than before!
Li Helan's heart felt stifled.
Li Helan coldly snorted and looked away. He said in a low voice, "Fox charm!"
The Empress Dowager looked at her daughter and coughed.
Li Helan calmed down a bit and sat upright.
Princess Tana led the people up the stairs and into the warm room. She bowed and said, "This concubine pays respects to the Empress Dowager."
Qin Yining followed behind and also bowed.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Quickly get up and sit down."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
