The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 107 The sun comes out in the west

Nan Zhiyu was flustered, but she didn't show it on her face. She lifted her skirt and walked to a position three steps away from the empress dowager.

During the whole process, she just lowered her head and looked at the steps under her feet. She did not notice the somewhat shocked look in the Empress Dowager's eyes. Only Nanny Chang, who had been serving the Empress Dowager, caught a glimpse of it.

Before Nan Zhiyu could say anything, she saw the Queen Mother's hand stretched out in front of her.

Nan Zhiyu was frightened and panicked. The Queen Mother seemed to notice and said in a gentle voice, "Good child, come here and let me take a closer look."

Nan Zhiyu pretended to be calm and put her hand on it, then moved forward as the empress dowager pulled her.

Lianyue, Qingdai and others were puzzled when they saw this scene. What did the Queen Mother mean?
Nanny Chang tried to smooth things over by saying, "The Empress Dowager hasn't seen such a beautiful and delicate person in a long time. Don't worry, Yue Liangdi."

The Queen Mother regained her composure upon hearing this, but she still did not let go of Nan Zhiyu's hand and looked at her eyes carefully.

Yes, they look alike!

"How old are you this year?" The Queen Mother took her hand and asked her to sit next to her.

Nan Zhiyu was a little at a loss. Why was this different from what she had expected?

Didn't the Queen Mother summon me here to call me to task?
She looked at Nanny Chang beside her in confusion, her eyes filled with panic. Nanny Chang smiled and nodded, and she dared to sit down beside the Queen Mother and timidly replied, "My Queen Mother, I am eighteen this year."

She didn't know why the Queen Mother asked this, but she could feel that the Queen Mother didn't seem to hate her. Instead, she seemed to be looking through her and seeing someone else.

Eighteen... She made a wrong decision eighteen years ago, and that flower-like girl disappeared completely.

"Your mother brought you up very well." The Queen Mother murmured to herself, with tears in her eyes.

Nan Zhiyu lowered her eyes and said calmly, "My aunt has passed away a long time ago, but I will always remember what she taught me."

The Queen Mother was even more distressed when she heard this, and said in a gentle voice: "In the future, you should come to Qingning Palace more often, just as if you were chatting with an old woman like me to relieve your boredom."

Nan Zhiyu said yes obediently, feeling quite confused in her heart. Who did the Queen Mother think she was a substitute for?

Hua Zhou, who was standing aside, glanced at the small Buddhist temple and couldn't help but sigh: Same surname, different fates!

Soon, the Queen Mother asked Madam Chang to fetch her jewelry box, picked out two small phoenix tassel hairpins, and pinned them in her hair with her own hands. "As expected, the little girl will look even prettier if she dresses up more."

Nan Zhiyu originally wanted to say that this was against the palace rules, but she did not say this out loud, because the empress dowager had been in this palace for many years, how could she not understand this rule? It was just a reward after all, and when she returned, she would just order people to guard it well.

She just turned her head casually, and the tassels swayed slightly, making a tiny crackling sound.

"Girl, this pair of hairpins is a gift from me to you. Do you like it?"

Nan Zhiyu's glazed eyes were smiling, and her voice was full of joy, "I like it. The pair of hairpins chosen by the Queen Mother is very good."

Nan Mingzhu, who had been kneeling in the small Buddhist hall copying scriptures, heard people chatting and laughing outside. She couldn't help but lift the curtain and walked out.

She bowed to the Queen Mother dignifiedly and said, "Your Highness, I have copied the scriptures. Would the Queen Mother like to review them?"

The Queen Mother did not answer, but just caressed Nan Zhiyu's soft and boneless hands affectionately. Hua Zhou, who was standing below, immediately understood and said, "Please, Nan Zhaoxun, I will personally take a look."

Nan Mingzhu was unwilling to accept that she had worked so hard to copy scriptures for most of the day, but was no match for that little bitch Nan Zhiyu, who just acted coquettishly and made the empress dowager so infatuated that she even gave her the Phoenix Tassel Hairpin.

Nan Mingzhu seemed not to understand Hua Zhou's meaning and said with a smile: "Sister, why did you come to Qingning Palace to pay your respects today?
Didn't the Crown Princess send someone to tell you to postpone your visit to three days later to avoid disturbing the Queen Mother's rest? "

Nan Zhiyu deliberately trembled her fingertips and secretly let go of the empress dowager's hand. Without saying a word, the empress dowager had already imagined a lot of scenes of Zhizhi being bullied.

"That's enough, Nan Zhaoxun."

"I invited this person. Do you have any objection?" This question left Nan Mingzhu speechless. Did she dare to say that she had an objection?

She smiled awkwardly, "I dare not, I hope the Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the high seat, said coldly, "Get out—"

These two short words frightened Nan Mingzhu so much that she shivered and quickly said goodbye and left.

Nan Zhiyu noticed that the empress dowager had slightly wrinkled eyebrows and looked tired. She remembered the sachet she was wearing today, which seemed to be used to calm the mind and help sleep.

The Queen Mother asked several times before Nan Zhiyu came back to her senses.

Nanny Chang chimed in, "What are you thinking about, Yue Liang Di? You are so absent-minded. The Queen has called you several times, but you didn't respond?"

Nan Zhiyu said a little embarrassedly: "I noticed that the Queen Mother seemed to have insomnia. The sachet I wore today just happened to have a calming effect. I was a little worried that the Queen Mother would dislike it..."

The voices of those speaking behind him became smaller and smaller, and their confidence became weaker and weaker.

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, "You are indeed a careful person."

Seeing that Nanny Chang and the Queen Mother did not refuse, Nan Zhiyu took off her sachet and handed it to Nanny Chang, saying, "Mammy, most of what I added are Chinese herbs. If you feel uneasy, you can ask the imperial physician to come and ask if it will be harmful to the Queen Mother's body."

Nanny Chang said yes repeatedly.

The Queen Mother murmured unhappily, "That was clearly the sachet that the maid gave me, but it never reached my hands..."

At this moment, the palace maid outside the door came to announce, "Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince is here."

The empress dowager, who was originally pretending to be aggrieved, immediately changed her expression and looked at Nan Zhiyu beside her with a smile.

"Madame Chang, why is today such an auspicious day? Why is even the Crown Prince here?"

Nan Zhiyu's cheeks felt slightly hot due to the teasing, and she lowered her head shyly.

Wei Qingye, who walked in from outside, locked his eyes directly on her. It was only for a few breaths, but the Queen Mother still noticed it.

"Grandma, your grandson is here to see you."

He said this very naturally. If the Queen Mother did not know the temper of this brat in front of her, she would have been fooled and lost her mind.

"Well, the sun really rises from the west today. I'm glad you still remember me, your grandmother~"

She knew that the prince came for the beauty beside her, and she was not angry at all.

Even at this age, I still like to watch young men and their sweethearts being so sweet and sticky.

Nan Zhiyu wanted to stand up and salute the prince, but the empress dowager pressed her down on the phoenix chair to prevent her from moving. She turned around and waved to the prince.

"Come here and let me take a look. Why do you feel thinner?"

Wei Qingye sat down obediently. The empress dowager stared at him meaningfully. He touched his nose guiltily.

He didn't say anything after he came, so why did the Empress Dowager still look at him like that?
