Chapter 167 The Fall of a Palace Maid (5)
Bai Ruofu was flattered and surprised.
She doesn't think she has any special talents.
Compared to the pampered young ladies in the capital, she appeared even more down-and-out and petty.
She couldn't understand what Mu Lichuan saw in her.
Could it be... this appearance and body?
That shouldn't be the case.
Mu Lichuan was a wise ruler throughout history and would not be tempted by beautiful women.
Even if one is somewhat lustful, one should not maintain this interest in only one person for an extended period.
even……
They've become somewhat humble.
Even knowing about her past with Han Linran, he didn't pursue the matter.
He was even willing to give Han Linran a high position for her sake.
Bai Ruofu raised her doubts.
"Your Majesty, what do you like about me? This liking makes me feel... unworthy..."
Mu Lichuan patted her back.
I coaxed her to sleep like I would a child.
Then he said, "You'll know when you see the Empress Dowager tomorrow."
-
Bai Ruofu had visited Cining Palace many times.
However, he did not see the Empress Dowager very often.
It is said that the Empress Dowager is in poor health.
She also doesn't like to see people.
Bai Ruofu, having observed proper etiquette, then left.
I won't bother you any longer.
today.
She met the Empress Dowager.
...The Empress Dowager was not the one she had imagined.
Who would have thought that an empress dowager would actually... stew cranes in an iron pot in the Cining Palace?
Bai Ruofu rubbed her eyes.
For a moment, I felt like I was dreaming.
But the rich aroma told her that this was not a dream.
The Empress Dowager beckoned and said, "Daughter-in-law, come and eat. Your mother-in-law is a master at stewing meat. I guarantee you'll eat it all without making a sound."
Bai Ruofu: "..."
Now I finally know who Mu Lichuan took after in terms of personality.
-
The Empress Dowager left behind her personal maid.
Along with Bai Ruofu, several women gathered around the iron pot, enjoying their meal.
It has to be said that this was truly the best meal Bai Ruofu had ever eaten.
Seriously... it's so delicious it'll make your tongue ache.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, the Empress Dowager had a beverage called "milk tea" served.
Throughout history, women have never been able to resist this sweet and warm food.
Holding a hot milk tea and gazing at the cranes waiting to be slaughtered, Bai Ruofu felt so beautiful she could fly to the heavens.
The Empress Dowager grew increasingly fond of her as she squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
I had actually wanted to share the fact that the Empress Dowager was a time-traveling woman with Bai Ruofu for a long time.
But Mu Lichuan stopped him from doing so.
He said Bai Ruofu was timid and afraid that the Empress Dowager would frighten her.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager could only feign illness and avoid seeing Bai Ruofu.
In fact, I eat delicious food every day.
-
The Empress Dowager's name is Yunqing.
Before transmigrating, I was a 9-to-9 office worker.
He finally became the head of the department, but died suddenly at his desk while working overtime due to overwork.
When she opened her eyes again, she was in the Jia Dynasty, and had become a minor concubine in the late emperor's harem.
She came from a humble background and was not favored by the emperor.
The palace where they lived was no different from a cold palace.
He was attended to by only two maids and a lame eunuch.
But for Yun Qinghao, this was simply paradise...
No need to work, you receive a monthly salary.
And there's such a big yard, you can grow whatever you want to eat.
Isn't this the retirement life she's been looking forward to?
Moreover, she was an orphan in her original world, abandoned by her parents at the gate of an orphanage when she was a child, and grew up in the orphanage.
I don't have any close friends.
They don't miss the world they used to live in.
She lived a leisurely life, farming.
Unexpectedly, the late emperor discovered her by chance, found her novel, and favored her several times.
And so Mu Lichuan came into being.
