Chapter 109 We had a great time chatting
"Yes, Yongqi's complexion has been getting worse recently. I guess he is being controlled by Concubine Yu." Xu Tian also remembered Yongqi's appearance during this period and shed tears for him.
As they talked, the two of them arrived outside Zhihua's room. The palace maid standing outside the door saw Song Qing and Xu Tian coming together, and hurried forward to salute, "Girl Qing, good luck, and Princess Xinrong, good luck."
"We two are here to see your princess. The Empress Dowager invites you." Song Qing and Xu Tian had no intention of entering the room, so they just stated their purpose directly.
"I will go and inform her right away." The maid said quickly when she heard that it was the old Buddha who was looking for her. After that, the maid went into Zhihua's room.
After a while, Zhihua came out with the little palace maid and said, "Qing'er, Xinrong, thank you for coming here. Let's go see the Empress Dowager." Zhihua actually had an idea in her mind. She thought it was Concubine Yu who came. She had just said yesterday that there was no need to pay respects today, and now she was called over at this time. She must be someone looking for her.
Zhihua couldn't tell whether she was happy or not, she just didn't expect Concubine Yu to be so quick. It seemed that she was quite satisfied with herself. To be precise, she should be satisfied with her family background.
"It's not a big deal, let's go." Song Qing didn't plan to talk more, it was more important to go back and report.
The few of them were silent all the way, and soon arrived at the Cining Palace. "Good luck to the old Buddha, good luck to Concubine Yu." Zhihua saluted the old Buddha and Concubine Yu very calmly. After Song Qing and Xu Tian finished their salute, they stood aside.
"Zhihua! Originally, I wanted you to have a good rest. The reason I called you here so early is because Concubine Yu liked you very much after seeing you yesterday. That's why I came here to look for you early this morning." The Empress Dowager did not waste any time and went straight to the point. She explained the purpose of calling her here and also explained Concubine Yu's purpose of coming.
"Yes, Zhihua, when I saw you yesterday, I felt that you and I got along well, so I came to see you so early in the morning. I hope I didn't disturb your rest!" Concubine Yu spoke quickly when she saw that it was her turn.
That face was smiling like a flower, and even the wrinkles on its face were a little more than before, but its expression was much kinder than when he met Xiaoyanzi!
"Thank you, Empress Yu, for your kindness. You didn't disturb me and I am glad to see you." Zhihua was naturally happy to see that her future mother-in-law was so kind to her, which was much better than hearing bad words from her.
"Qing'er, Xinrong, if you have something to do, just leave first. You don't have to stay here all the time." Seeing that Concubine Yu and Zhihua were already chatting, the Empress Dowager turned around and said to Song Qing and Xu Tian.
In fact, Mr. Lafayette is quite considerate. They are really useless here. Their purpose is very clear anyway. It will be the same no matter how much they listen. It is better for them to go back and do what they want to do!
Now that the old lady has spoken, they can leave directly, which is a relief.
"Okay, Mr. Buddha, we will leave first. If you have any problems, please ask someone to come and find us." Song Qing and Xu Tian quickly followed Mr. Buddha's words.
After listening to this, the old lady smiled and said, "Okay, then you go." After that, Song Qing and Xu Tian bowed and left.
The noise from their side did not disturb the communication between Concubine Yu and Zhihua at all. The two of them really got along very well. The more Concubine Yu talked with Zhihua, the more she felt that this girl was good. She was well-educated, sensible, and talented. Most importantly, she could bring more help to Yongqi than the noisy Xiaoyanzi, and was more suitable to be Yongqi's legitimate wife.
What Yongqi needs is a woman like Zhihua as his first wife. How can someone like Xiaoyanzi be the right choice? And to be honest, the emperor has high hopes for her son, who is likely to inherit the throne. If that day comes, can Xiaoyanzi control the harem? How can she manage the six palaces if she keeps making a fuss all day long?
Concubine Yu was very satisfied with Zhihua. After all, she had a solid rock in front of her and now had a piece of pearl in front of her. Naturally, she preferred the latter!
Zhihua was also very happy. She felt that Concubine Yu was a good choice as her mother-in-law. At least they would not have conflicts. As for the Fifth Prince, she was just looking for someone to marry. If he didn't want to bother with her, it was fine. She was too lazy to deal with him. Anyway, she had power and money. She had a good mother-in-law. As long as she was happy, she didn't need to force anything else.
Zhihua is quite open-minded, but unfortunately, Concubine Yu doesn't know about it. However, if she knew, she would probably choose Zhihua. After all, she is in a hurry, and Zhihua is the best choice at the moment.
The two chatted for a long time, with Mr. Lafayette occasionally saying a few words, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
"Okay, Zhihua, I'm glad to see you today. You should go back and have some rest. You were exhausted from the long journey yesterday. You should have a good rest. Remember to come to Yonghe Palace to see me another day!" After Concubine Yu understood most of the situation, she asked Zhihua to leave first. She still had business to discuss with the Empress Dowager!
"Zhihua! Since Concubine Yu said so, you should go back and rest first!" said the Old Buddha.
She had seen that this Concubine Yu was really good at talking! It was almost an hour, and she still had to stay here to chat with her. It was really hard for her. She just wanted Concubine Yu to finish her words and leave quickly.
"Yes, I'll take my leave now." Zhihua said, bowed and left.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with this Zhihua?" The old Buddha was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked directly.
"Your Majesty, Zhihua is really good. She is well-educated, has a good temper, and is talented in writing. I like her very much." Concubine Yu wasted no time and quickly expressed her thoughts.
"Okay, I will ask her what she thinks during this period, don't worry." The old Buddha knew what Concubine Yu meant. She just wanted her to help her with the marriage! However, according to the old rules, she still had to find time to ask Zhihua what she thought, so as to avoid any accidents.
Concubine Yu was extremely happy to get the approval of the Empress Dowager. She finally felt relieved. She was absolutely sure that Zhihua would agree to this marriage. Just from their conversation just now, she could see that Zhihua wanted to get closer to her, so she felt more relieved.
"Thank you very much for your concern, Your Majesty. Yongqi's marriage depends on you." Although Concubine Yu felt that the matter was 80% likely to succeed, she still asked Your Majesty for more help. After all, the Emperor preferred Xiaoyanzi, and with Your Majesty's help, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort!
