Chapter 507

Empress Dowager Liu said calmly, “You reminded me, it is indeed the sixth prince’s birthday in the third month, so this grandmother needs to prepare a gift for him as well.”

Noble Consort Liu stroked her sleeves and exchanged a glance at Gu Jing without saying a word.

She said a few more words about Gu Zhen’s birthday, and then changed the subject as if she had done it unintentionally. “Imperial Mother, I just heard that Old Madam Wei has entered the palace.”

“……” The smile at the corners of Empress Dowager Liu’s lips had faded slightly.

The atmosphere inside the hall also solidified accordingly.

Noble Consort Liu’s heart was secretly happy, but on her face, she sighed quietly and added, “Ai, originally I thought that Lord Wei is a pure and loyal person, but I did not think that he would secretly communicate with Wang Yu.”

“In my opinion, this Wang Yu simply has no good intentions. He not only harmed Yongle but also treated Han Jun unfairly like this, I heard that Wang Yu also built a palace for Empress Dowager Fang in Yuzhou, in support of his imperial mother.”

Every word and every sentence of Noble Consort Liu’s poked at Empress Dowager Liu’s pain points.

Noble Consort Liu sighed again and said. “Ai, how can the Wei family be like this? And Han Jun this child…” Noble Consort Liu pinched a side of her handkerchief to wipe the corners of the eyes of the unwarranted tears, “Every time I think of this child I cannot sleep at night, she is still so young, how will she live her life from now on ah!”

Empress Dowager Liu slowly picked up a tea cup with a floating stem on a white background and sipped the tea with her eyes downcast.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Liu did not say anything, Noble Consort Liu nodded and gave a wink to Gu Jing, who then added him. “Imperial Grandmother, your grandson recently found a painting of the former dynasty’s painting saint, Wang Dao Dao’s painting of the Willow Goddess of Mercy, and is having it sent to the capital, so I think that it will be ready to arrive in a couple of days, and I would like to ask my Imperial Grandmother to take a look at it for your grandson at that time.”

He said it was as if he was asking an expert with good eyesight to appraise the painting, but in fact, he just wanted to win the favor of Empress Dowager Liu with this painting.

Empress Dowager Liu believes in Taoism, and naturally also believes in the painting saint, especially when she heard that this precious painting was “Willow Goddess of Mercy,” she was immediately moved.

At this moment, a palace maid came to report that Empress Wei and Qin Jiu arrived.

Eunuch Wang led the two into the east side hall, after Empress Dowager Liu gave them seats, Noble Consort Liu said to Qin Jiu with a smile, “I haven’t seen Princess Chen for a long time, why did you suddenly enter the palace, but didn’t you come with your grandmother? I don’t know if Old Madam Wei is in good health.”

Noble Consort Liu’s look and tone were warm and soft, but the meaning that came out of these words was that Qin Jiu accompanied Old Madam Wei to the palace to plead for her grandfather, and since Qin Jiu was now the Chen County Princess, her attitude naturally represents Gu Zezhi’s attitude as well.
