”If you know that I'm worrying, then don't let me worry. Quickly give birth to a son, and if you become a father, then who would dare to say that you're not a lord anymore?” The empress dowager reprimanded him softly.
”What the Old Ancestor said is very true. Your grandson will remember it all.” Xuan Ye continued to laugh as he replied.
”Sigh, child, you've always been good and proper. Whether you do it or not is another matter.” The Empress Dowager sighed.
”Old Ancestor, you have wronged your grandson. Even if this grandson has the guts, I still wouldn't dare to fool you. ” Xuan Ye repeatedly argued.
”You child …” Hearing the emperor's reply, the empress dowager and empress couldn't help but laugh.
As he spoke, Xuan Ye raised his eyes and saw Gai Rong'er. He immediately recalled the incident with the poem and remembered that he hadn't even seen her in the empress dowager's palace before. The emperor was still young, so he couldn't help but say, ”How come I haven't seen this palace maid in the empress dowager's palace for a long time?”
Hearing the emperor's question, everyone was at a loss as to what was going on.
Gaylen, of course, understood the question and blushed.
”Your majesty, are you talking about Rong'er?” The empress dowager followed the emperor's gaze and asked.
The emperor smiled and did not answer, but the empress quickly replied, ”Reporting to the old ancestor, the last time Rong'er was reciting a poem in my palace, the emperor just happened to pass by and heard Rong'er reciting a poem.
”Oh? ”What a coincidence, This Dowager was just talking to the empress about Rong'er knowing how to recite poems. The emperor has heard of this as well. How about the poem that she recites?” The Empress Dowager said.
”Old Ancestor, this grandson has only heard her recite one poem before. It feels quite good and is quite thoughtful. There aren't many women like her.”
”Then does Your Majesty think that this girl isn't bad?” The empress dowager smiled and asked.
”In reply to the empress dowager, your grandson has seen quite a few of these palace maids. Her actions aren't bad at all.” The Emperor looked at Rong'er and smiled.
The empress dowager was also a sensitive person. Seeing her grandson's reaction, she felt that he probably had a good impression of this girl, but in truth, this person was all about face and face, and the emperor liked her when he chose his palace maid. Since the emperor didn't have a good impression of her, he ordered her to be sent to the empress, and she often accompanied the empress to pay her respects during this period of time.
The empress dowager turned to the empress dowager and said, ”Empress Dowager, ah, This Dowager has an idea. You said that this girl can read and understand poetry. Since Yin has agreed to move to Kun Ning Palace, the emperor has lost a little girl by his side. How about this, I'll take her for the emperor and you, and let her go to the palace to serve the emperor as a maid, okay? ”
The empress was a little reluctant to part with Rong'er when she heard the empress dowager ask for him. This Rong'er suited her well, but since the old ancestor had already spoken, there was no way she could say it, so she replied, ”That's Rong'er's fortune, so chenqie naturally has no objections.”
”Your Majesty, what do you think? Is this girl accepted in your palace? ” The empress dowager smiled as she asked the emperor.
Xuan Ye laughed and said, ”According to the Old Ancestor's arrangements, Zhen told the empress last time that there were talents in her palace. Now, we're going back to poaching talents from her palace.”
The empress smiled at Rong'er and said gently, ”Rong'er, thank you.”
”Rong'er, Grand Empress Dowager Xie, and Your Majesty.” Rong'er paused for a moment, his face full of surprise. The empress had just urged him to show her gratitude.
It was really too unexpected, no, shock. She really didn't expect the empress dowager to send her to serve the emperor, too unexpected, really too unexpected. Rong'er was indescribably excited, feeling as if there were countless little deer jumping around in his heart. Am I dreaming?
”Alright, get up. I'll go back and clean up now. Su Mo Er, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send an eunuch to bring her to the Preservation Hall this afternoon.” The empress dowager instructed Su Mai La at her side.
Even Gai Rong'er didn't know how she managed to return to Peace Palace. All along the way, she felt as if she was dreaming. She couldn't believe that she had such good luck. She could go to the emperor's side? That man she had been looking at from afar, who was as distant as a god … could she really reach his side?
