Chapter 8: enter the palace
The next day, early in the morning, Qingzhu took her into the palace, and went directly to the Empress Dowager's Shouhe Palace.
"Ying girl, come quickly, let Grandma Huang take a look." As soon as she entered the room, the Empress Dowager pulled her into her arms with a look of distress and love.
Although the empress dowager is in her sixties, she is well maintained and her body is quite strong.
"Grandma Huang." Meng Fuying was in her arms, her nose suddenly felt sour. She was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage since she was a child. Such warmth has always been what she longed for most in her heart.
"Really?" The empress dowager's body froze, and her voice trembled with uncertainty.
"It's really good." Meng Fuying raised her eyes and smiled lightly. There was comfort and touch in that smile.
"It's great, it's great, my shadow girl is really healed." The empress dowager was obviously also a little grateful, and repeated it again and again, holding her hand even more tightly.
However, her eyes were sunken. How could she not know the suffering that Ying girl had suffered for so many years, and pretended not to know, just to protect Ying girl, or it was time to deal with it.
"Is the injury on your body serious?" Pushing her body away slightly, she asked worriedly.
"It's all right now, Grandma Huang doesn't need to worry." Meng Fuying comforted softly.
"Well, I have grown up and become sensible." The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction on her face. Such a shadowy girl made her feel more at ease.
After a pause, he said softly again, "Your father should be back in a few days, and in twenty days it will be your father's fiftieth birthday, and it will also be your birthday. At that time, the court ministers will definitely go to congratulate you, Your Majesty You should be there too, Grandma Huang has already ordered a set of clothes for you, and it will be delivered in the next two days, so you must dress up the girl Ying beautifully."
Meng Fuying was slightly taken aback, and when she mentioned her father, he was indeed quite majestic. When he was young, he went to war with the emperor many times, and he saved the emperor twice on the battlefield regardless of his own life. Every time there was a war, he was the one who went there. Calm down, for so many years, there are very few times when you lose.
Therefore, the emperor named him the Marquis of Dingguo, and he was really under one, above tens of thousands.
Meng Fuying thought about it, but forgot to thank the Empress Dowager.
Seeing that she was silent, the Empress Dowager misunderstood her thoughts, sighed secretly, and said in a low voice, "Grandma Huang knows your thoughts, and Bai Yichen is indeed a rare good man in the world. , let’s use this birthday banquet to settle your affairs.”
This girl, all her heart is on Bai Yichen, but Bai Yichen...
Because of Ying girl's previous stupidity, she didn't want to push her too hard, and she was also afraid that Ying girl would be bullied when she married. Now that Ying girl is better, this matter can be settled.
Meng Fuying was startled, she didn't expect the Empress Dowager to bring this matter up suddenly, so she stood up straight and bowed slightly, "Ying'er begs the Empress Dowager to help Ying'er cancel this engagement."
With a serious and solemn face, even the title has been changed.
The empress dowager was stunned, and there was obvious surprise in her eyes, "Didn't you like him since you were a child? Why suddenly?"
"Ying'er has already figured it out. Emotional matters cannot be forced. Mr. Bai has no self in his heart, so why should I force it?" Meng Fuying said solemnly again.
The empress dowager's eyes flickered slightly, but her face was a little more troubled. After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "It's a good thing that you can figure it out, but this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor. How can it be changed at will?"
If Bai Yichen could regret it, Bai Yichen would have regretted it long ago. If Bai Yichen couldn't regret it, naturally she couldn't regret it either, it was related to the majesty of the emperor.
Meng Fuying was shocked again, but she also understood the empress dowager's concerns, and was about to say something else.
The sound of footsteps came from the outer door.
"Your Highness the Seventh, the Eighth Prince, and the Tenth Prince are here." The eunuch's sharp voice came immediately.
Three young men came in and shouted in unison, "Greetings to Grandma Huang."
"Okay, okay, everyone is up, sit down." The empress dowager looked loving.
Meng Fuying's eyes slightly raised, slightly stunned.
The man standing in the middle...
The slightly raised eyebrows are as exquisite as jade, the slightly pursed lips are as clear as jade beads, and the peerless beauty carefully depicted by the pen of the gods makes people intoxicated. However, in this peerless beauty, there is no trace of femininity, and masculinity does not appear to be rude.
What is even more amazing is his pair of deep eyes, just like the magnetism in the infinite universe, with just one glance, he will be sucked in uncontrollably.
The long eyelashes are slightly drawn, and the pupils are turned quietly, hiding the unfathomable and bottomless ice, leaving only the amazement that confuses the world.
He is Xuanyuan Ye, the Seventh Prince of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, who is well known and respected by everyone.
is also Meng Ruxue's sweetheart.
The man on the left is suave, yet cynical.
The man on the right has a handsome face with a bit of childishness and cuteness.
"Fu'er greets the Seventh Highness, the Eighth Prince, and the Tenth Prince." Meng Fuying saluted slightly, with an neither humble nor overbearing attitude, and a neither hasty nor slow tone, which was just right.
"Hey, this is stupid..." Xuanyuan Fan was startled to realize that the Empress Dowager was here, but the idiot didn't say anything, and changed his way again and again, "You really aren't stupid?"
Suddenly remembered something, and then exclaimed, "The thing that you released the dog to drive Bai Yichen out yesterday, can't it be true?"
He heard about this early in the morning, but he didn't believe it. He thought to ask Bai Yichen later, but he didn't expect to meet her here.
"What? No way, she let the dog chase Bai Yichen away?" Xuanyuan Chen's eyes widened, he looked at her in disbelief, and exclaimed in the same way.
There was also a little bit of consternation in the empress dowager's eyes.
Only Xuanyuan Ye, who didn't seem to hear it, sat there, sipping the tea handed over by the maid.
