87 The Empress Dowager Just Sent Someone to Send a Message for You to Enter the Palace
For the next two days, Shen Yao did not see Huo Junhan.
For the past two days, she has been patient and has not left the house.
Today, the sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds.
After Shen Yaowei ate her breakfast, she sat in the garden pavilion in boredom, fanning herself with a small fan. “Nuan Ying, why haven’t I seen Dark Crow and Granny Li in the past two days?”
“Miss, Dark Crow has been punished by the Master to clean the stables. Granny Li has already returned to the Prince Manor to be on duty,” Nuan Ying replied.
Sitting up slightly, Shen Yaowei looked at Nuan Ying curiously. “Did Dark Crow do something wrong?”
“This…” Nuan Ying did not know how to explain it to Shen Yaowei.
It was all because he had given her that kind of clothing and asked her to drink yesterday.
His Highness had really lost his temper last night.
For Dark Crow, having to clean the stables for a month was worse than cutting his flesh with a knife.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to say it.” Shen Yaowei had only thought of asking casually, so she quickly changed the topic. “I want to go out for a walk.”
“I’m afraid it’s not convenient today,” At the thought of what had happened in the capital last night, Nuan Ying said without a second thought. Even though she had seen the world, she still felt her scalp tingle.
Shen Yaowei frowned slightly and looked straight at Nuan Ying with her dark eyes. “Why? Didn’t my Ninth Imperial Uncle say that I could enter and leave the house freely during the day?”
Nuan Ying was about to tell Shen Yaowei about the terrifying incident in the capital last night when she saw a maidservant in pink rushing over.
She walked straight to the pavilion and bowed to Shen Yaowei. “Miss, the Empress Dowager just sent someone to send a message for you to enter the palace.”
……
Imperial Palace, Fengxiang Palace.
“Aunt, I carefully searched for those treasures from the commoners. Do you like them?” Su Baohua gave her maidservant behind her a look. The maidservant immediately presented the treasure box in her hand to Empress Dowager Su, who was leaning against the soft seat.
Empress Dowager Su casually glanced at the few extremely extraordinary-looking prayer beads in the treasure box and smiled faintly. “It’s been hard on you to search for treasure for me every month.”
“It’s my duty to be filial to Aunt,” Su Baohua said to the Empress Dowager with a smile.
Empress Dowager Su waved her hand, indicating for the palace maid to put away the treasure box. Then, she looked at Su Baohua and said, “This time, the Emperor is willing to let you end your confinement early on account of me. However, he won’t give me face every time. Don’t cause trouble again, or I won’t be able to protect you.”
Su Baohua sensed the warning in Empress Dowager Su’s tone and hurriedly controlled the wheelchair to move forward and approach her. “I’ll listen to you. However, Aunt, do you really plan to let Prince Zhao marry a fool as his main consort?”
“The marriage between Prince Zhao and Miss Shen was personally decreed by the Emperor. It’s not something you and I can interfere with.” Empress Dowager Su played with a string of green jade prayer beads in her hand, her tone still indifferent. “I know how you feel about Prince Zhao. However, based on your seniority, it’s against the rules for you to want to marry Prince Zhao. The Emperor has always hated such marriages. I advise you to give up early.”
Hearing Empress Dowager Su’s words, Su Baohua gritted her teeth indignantly.
Although she was older than Huo Zhao, she had grown up with him.
Besides, she and the Empress Dowager were only distant relatives.
The Empress Dowager said that because she did not want her to marry Prince Zhao.
At this moment, the eunuch suddenly entered and reported to Empress Dowager Su that Shen Yaowei had arrived and was in the side hall outside.
“Let her in,” Empress Dowager Su said, sitting up slightly.
