Chapter 565 Weird

   "I have seen the imperial grandmother." Princess Zhenzhen bowed to Empress Yang, and she was surprised when she saw Shitai Wumei, "Master, you are here too."

  Xu Shi has regained her face after being disfigured. There is a kind of happiness and gratitude that she has lost and found. The joy that Princess Zhenzhen inadvertently reveals is much purer and sincer than before.

   Wumei Shitai couldn't help but glance at Princess Zhenzhen, and then showed a smile: "Poor Ni may not have seen Zhenzhen for a long time, but today is a coincidence."

  Princess Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled: "I came to thank the imperial grandmother. I didn't expect to meet you, Shitai, so it's very lucky today."

   She knelt down and gave a big gift to Empress Dowager Yang: "Grandma, I really thank you for coming."

  After the initial shock, Mrs. Yang has recovered her composure and smiled faintly: "This child, why are you being so polite to the imperial grandmother?"

   "Thank you, if it wasn't for you, how could Zhenzhen's face be so good?" Princess Zhenzhen continued to kowtow, her voice choked.

   Empress Dowager Yang rushed to the palace maid by her side and signaled, "Don't help the nine princesses up."

  The maid stepped forward to help Princess Zhenzhen.

   Empress Dowager Yang had a kind attitude and waved at Princess Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, come and do it with the imperial grandmother."

   Princess Zhenzhen walked over and sat down beside Empress Yang obediently.

   Empress Dowager Yang looked at her carefully and smiled: "It's really good, the face is whiter than before."

   Princess Zhenzhen lightly stroked her cheek and sighed: "Yes, Miss Li San's ointment works very well. She told me to apply it for seven days, day and night, and it will be fine."

   "Oh, it was Miss Li San's ointment that restored Zhenzhen's face?" Master Wumei asked.

   Empress Dowager Yang smiled: "That little girl really has some skills. At that time, she said that she could cure Zhenzhen's face, but Aijia actually didn't believe it."

   The reason why she was asked to go out to sea to collect herbs was just with the mentality of trying it out. It’s good to be successful, and it won’t be worse if it doesn’t work.

   "Grandmother, I really want to say thank you to Miss Li San."

   Empress Dowager Yang nodded: "Then you can go out of the palace."

   In her opinion, although the little girl was acting out of line, it was difficult for her to develop a good impression, but after all, she was the fiancée of the champion, and it was good to have friends with her.

   Wumei Shitai's voice rang faintly in the warm inner room: "Speaking of which, the poor nun may not have seen the child for a long time. The Queen Mother might as well invite her into the palace to see her."

   Empress Dowager Yang was slightly startled and surprised.

   It's not surprising that there was no Mei Shitai to let Zhenzhen come in. After all, he caught up, and now it's a bit surprising that Miss Li San is specially asked to enter the palace.

   Others don't understand, but she is clear that this former eldest princess has a very indifference and indifference, and she cannot be seen by ordinary people.

   "Laixi, go and invite Miss Li San to the palace."

   When Li Concubine, who was waiting outside the Cining Palace, saw Laixi coming out, she quietly asked, "Laixi Father-in-law, why hasn't the Ninth Princess come out yet?"

   Eunuch Laixi smiled and said: "The queen mother left the ninth princess to talk, the maiden might as well go back first."

  Li Concubine nodded, but did not return to her own bedroom. Instead, she took a refreshing stroll in the imperial garden. The news of the Ninth Princess's recovery immediately spread to every corner of the palace.

   Li Concubine, who finally raised her eyebrows consciously, went back.

   It didn't take long for Qiao Zhao to receive a summons from the Empress Dowager Yang, and followed Laixi on the way to the Cining Palace, inexplicably feeling that someone was watching in secret.

   Qiao Zhao paused.

   "Why didn't Miss Li San leave?" Lai Xi looked at Qiao Zhao in confusion.

  Qiao Zhao smiled and followed Laixi to move on.

   "Queen Mother, Miss Li San is here."

   Empress Dowager Yang's brows moved slightly, and she saw a girl in plain clothes walking in with Laixi.

   Empress Dowager Yang frowned subconsciously.

   It's almost New Year's Eve, it's really unpleasant for a little girl to dress so plainly.

   Empress Dowager Yang thought about it like this, glanced at Princess Zhenzhen, and said to her heart: Is it her granddaughter who is lovely? The pomegranate red jacket makes people feel comfortable.

   "The servant girl has seen the Queen Mother."

   "Miss Li, please forgive me." Empress Dowager Yang quickly smiled and motioned for Qiao Zhao to get up.

  Qiao Zhao stood up straight and said hello to Mrs. Wumei.

   Although Shitai Wumei has a light expression, the smile in his eyes is much more cordial than that of Empress Dowager Yang: "Long time no see, the three girls have been reduced."

  Qiao Zhao smiled and said generously: "Master's style is still the same."

   Empress Dowager Yang couldn't help frowning secretly.

  Probably it's a matter of eye relationship between people, she just doesn't like the calm and calm look of this little girl, which makes her feel a sense of offense inexplicably.

   "Miss Li, Ben Gong's face is better!" Princess Zhenzhen couldn't hide her joy.

  Qiao Zhao took a careful look at Princess Zhenzhen and showed a genuine smile: "Congratulations, Your Highness."

  Princess Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't say much in front of her elders. She said to Empress Yang, "Grandma, I think—"

   Wumei Shitai suddenly coughed lightly: "The Queen Mother, Miss Li San has accompanied the poor nun to copy Buddhist scriptures for several months. I like this child's handwriting very much. Since I have a chance to meet her today, I want to talk to her alone."

   Empress Dowager Yang hurriedly smiled and said, "Master, please do it yourself."

   Watching Qiao Zhao go to the cubicle to talk with Shitai Wumei, Princess Zhenzhen was secretly suspicious.

   The imperial grandmother's attitude towards Shitai is so strange, why does she somehow feel that the emperor's grandmother is slightly flattering to Shitai?

   Or maybe, she thought too much.

   "Sit down." Wumei Shitai pointed to Xiaotaozi.

  Qiao Zhao sat down according to the words and waited for Wumei Shitai to speak first.

   Wumei Shitai smiled lightly: "Poor Ni heard that the three girls went far away, and they encountered many troubles along the way, right?"

   "There is a little trouble, but fortunately there is Jin Wuwei arranged by the Queen Mother, so it goes well."

   "The poor nun heard that the south is very chaotic. After all, the third girl is a girl's family, so don't go to dangerous places in the future."

  Qiao Zhao replied with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, I probably won't have a chance to go in the future."

   Wumei Shitai's eyes fell on Qiao Zhao's wrist, and the girl wore a string of agarwood beads on her slender wrist, which was the one she gave.

   "Is the teacher okay lately?"

"not bad."

   The two chatted for a while, and Qiao Zhao did not ask where Mrs. Wumei was currently cleaning.

   She faintly felt that it was strange that Wumei Shitai was talking to her alone, but she couldn't figure out where the strangeness was, so she had to suppress her doubts for the time being.

   Until he bid farewell to Wumei Shitai and left the Cining Palace, Qiao Zhao was still at a loss.

   Wumei Shitai is not a talkative person, why did you pull her to chat?

  Princess Zhenzhen stopped by a plum tree in the imperial garden: "Miss Li, thank you very much."

  It would be a lie if you don’t say thank you. She really didn’t know what the girl who was about to become Mrs. Hou was missing.

Princess Zhenzhen thought for a while, then took off the blood jade bracelet on her wrist and put it in Qiao Zhao: "Bengong knows that you may not be uncommon, but this blood jade bracelet and the one my mother concubine gave you earlier are a pair, you Just keep it, in the future-"

  Princess Zhenzhen paused for a moment, then showed a genuine smile: "In the future, the red jade bracelet will be more festive."
