Value, is it really painful?

”Does it really hurt?” Empress Zhuang glared at Liu Yuer with frost in his eyes.

Her gaze was like a blade, like a sharp blade, scaring Liu Yuer so much that she changed her words.

”No, it doesn't hurt. I was wrong.” The more he spoke, the more his neck hurt.

”Mm …” Empress Zhuang slowly let go of her hands, turned around, and began to prune the branches of a peony.

”This is Green Calyx...” Seeing how plump and beautiful it is, This Palace can't help but to not want to prune its branches. ”

Empress Zhuang's slender and jade-like white hands slowly brushed past the blooming flowers, her eyes filled with regret.

”The Empress is wise.” Liu Yuer was a little afraid. For the first time, she felt that such an occasion was not something she could afford.

”It's just that the more This Palace likes it, the more you have to trim it. Only then can it be even more beautiful.”

Empress Zhuang felt the fear in Liu Yuer's heart and calmly explained her previous actions.

This meant that it was because she cared about her that she wanted to train her.

She didn't need to be so scared. She just wanted to make her better.

Liu Yuer uneasily blinked her eyes, the old nanny at the side had already opened his mouth to remind her.

”Liu side consort, hurry up and thank Empress Dowager for your guidance.”

Liu Yuer was normally very clever, but at this time, she was quite frightened and did not react for a while.

She didn't even know why she thanked him. She had clearly been pinched by the Empress Zhuang.

However, the old nanny's round eyes revealed a hint of anxiousness.

She opened her mouth, steadied her mind, and sweetly thanked him. ”I thank Empress Dowager for her teachings.”

Empress Zhuang did not care if she was sincere or not, she only liked to hear the words that she liked to hear. As for whether or not those words were words that she truly wanted to say, it had nothing to do with her.

”Liu side consort is so obedient, This Palace likes it a lot. No need to be so polite. ” As she spoke, she turned around and put down the scissors, indicating to the palace maid at her side that she should go out and get something for her.

In next to no time, the young palace maid came back with the prizes she had prepared earlier.

”This was This Palace's favorite pearl hairpin in the past, it's just that now that I'm old, it's not appropriate to bring this beauty along, why don't I reward it to Liu side consort to play with.”

Empress Zhuang's voice was light, and her expression was indifferent as she explained.

”Ah …” Thank you, Empress Dowager. ” It doesn't matter if you like it or not. You have to accept it. There was no reason, no excuse to say no.

No matter how ignorant Liu Yuer was, she knew this rule.

Furthermore, the pearl hairpin on the red lacquered tray was truly beautiful.

It was made of pure gold and inlaid with a delicate pearl. The pearl was round and smooth, sparkling with golden light.

But anyone who liked to be in the limelight would like such a style.

Seeing her happy expression, Empress Zhuang nodded her head in satisfaction.

”Wear it if you like it.”

Once the pearl hairpin was put on, the meaning would be different.

Without hesitation, Liu Yuer inserted it into the left side of the bun under the Empress Zhuang's instructions.

”Beautiful. Indeed, being young means that you have the qualifications.”

When she was young, she was once a hundred times more beautiful than Liu Yuer. However, with the erosion of time, her beauty disappeared easily.

She held her cheeks with her hands. Her long nails accidentally touched her exquisite face, causing her to feel a slight pain.

She lowered her hand.

”Go back, don't make your prince and wangfei wait too long.”

Even though it was just a simple warning, if someone didn't understand, they would really think that Empress Zhuang was concerned about Prince Qi and herself. In fact, she was the one hinting at that.

He had to return to the manor as soon as possible and continue with the unfinished business.

”As you command.” In fact, since Empress Zhuang didn't say it, Liu Yuer also wanted to leave. She really couldn't stay in this place anymore. It was not a place she could stay in at all.

The Empress Zhuang revealed a tired expression and ordered the old nanny to send her out.

Then, when the old nanny returned, she slowly dozed off.

”Do you think she'll do?”

Would she be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of asking around for news in the Prince Qi's Palace?

”She originally wanted to, but from old slave's perspective, she probably didn't have enough strength.”

Just that, other than her, no one else is able to infiltrate the Prince Qi's Palace. ”” Yes.

For some reason, the servants of the Prince Qi's Palace were extremely particular about them. She had already sent many people to their residence, but none of them managed to succeed.

Even if she had no other choice, she could only place her hopes on Liu Yuer.

Compared to her capable subordinates, although she was a bit stupid, she was the only one who had infiltrated the palace.
