Half an hour later, Wei Jing arrived at Cihe Palace, Empress Dowager Zhaoming's bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, he felt the solemnity and solemnity coming to his face. There were six palace maids standing at the door, and they stood there respectfully with their heads down. The ground was swept spotlessly, and several pear trees were planted in two rows, one of which was white and very beautiful.

It is not as luxurious as I imagined, and it has a little more simplicity. There are many flowers planted in the corner of the garden, pink, green, and yellow, competing for beauty, and there is a faint sandalwood smell in the air.

Wei Yan was taken to the side hall, and Madam Wen asked the little palace maid to serve some tea and snacks, "Miss Seven wait for a moment."

"Yes!" Wei Jing nodded, sitting on the chair, thinking about the meaning of Empress Dowager Zhaoming.

After waiting for half an hour, Wei Gui's body stopped moving, Taoqin couldn't help it, "Miss Seven, when will we wait here?"

Wei Gui raised his eyes, heard footsteps in his ears, frowned, and his tone was sharp, "Talk too much! This is Cihe Palace, not Chenxiangyuan. Second Aunt asked you to follow me, but asked you to mention me, which round of interjection and ask!"

Taoqin was startled by Wei Gui's erotic look and looked up. Seeing that no one was there, she hummed, and didn't agree.

Wei Jing continued to wait patiently, his face neither anxious nor panic.

After waiting for more than two hours, Madam Wen invited Wei Yin into the inner hall. Wei Yin lowered his head halfway and quietly looked up at the person on his face. A woman in her fifties was sitting, looking very young, wearing a brown coat, a string of long small sandalwood Buddhist beads on her neck, and there were fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was graceful and luxurious, dignified and elegant.

Just a look is enough to shock everyone, of course, not including Wei Jing.

"My daughter pays homage to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is thousands of years old and thousands of years old." Wei Ying knelt down and gave a big gift.

Empress Dowager Zhaoming stopped screaming, and Wei Gui remained motionless. After a while, he heard a lukewarm voice, "Look up, take a look at the Ai family."

Wei Jing looked up, his eyes clear and clever. Empress Dowager Zhaoming curled her lips and smiled, "It's a good birth."

"Thank you for your misunderstanding. My daughter follows her mother. My daughter's mother is beautiful. But my daughter has never seen her mother for many years. She must be a great beauty." Wei Jing said.

Empress Dowager Zhaoming's smile froze when she heard this, and she squinted her eyes, her eyes were fierce, but she soon returned to gentleness, "Give her seat."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Wei Ling stood up generously and sat on the small round stool. Her temperament was not enough to be picked, which made Empress Dowager Zhaoming a little surprised.

Empress Dowager Zhaoming squinted his eyes, and Madam Wen abandoned him. Taoqin was stunned, "I would like to forgive my sins. I want to follow Miss Seven. Miss Seven is ignorant, for fear of disturbing the Queen Mother..."

Before Empress Dowager Zhaoming had anger, Madam Wen shouted coldly, "It's not your turn to speak here!"

Taoqin was so scared that she was thrilled all over. Madam Wen immediately asked someone to drag Taoqin out and slapped twenty times.

There was a clear and slap in the hall and a begging for mercy. Empress Dowager Zhaoming glanced at Wei Jing, "Is it okay?"

Wei Jing nodded, "Thank you for severe punishment."

"You are honest." Empress Dowager Zhaoming was suddenly amused by Wei Jing. She wanted to give Nanyang Marquis' Mansion a warning, but she didn't intend to really reach out to care about Nanyang Marquis' Mansion. But when she saw this Wei Jing, Empress Dowager Zhaoming couldn't help but say a few more words.

"In front of the Empress Dowager, my daughter dared not hide anything." Wei Gui's face was still very respectful.

Empress Dowager Zhaoming's eyes turned, "You tell me why did the Ai family come to you?"

"The big house is considered a crime of treason by the world, but Wei Zhi does not recognize it. It is just that some people call to catch the thief. The Empress Dowager is wise and powerful, and can take care of me as a little orphan. It is the honor of my daughter. I am not careful to be grateful."

Empress Dowager Zhaoming smiled again when she heard this, and then asked, "How did you know that Princess Jin would appear in Tianshan Temple at the third hour of Yin, and what was going on with the Yi'an Marquis Mansion and the Nanyang Marquis Mansion?"

Empress Dowager Zhaoming has always been unable to understand this matter. A little girl made the two families uneasy, and even asked the Empress Dowager Zhaoming to catch the handle of the Yi'an Marquis Mansion. When King Jin returned, he killed the chicken to scare the monkey to establish his authority. Behind this was a little girl who was not on time. Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhaoming was also a little curious about Wei Jing.

"It's just some inexplicable tricks. The second prince of the Yi'an Hou Mansion abused his second sister, and it was not an exaggeration to bury his second sister with me. As for Mrs. Wei... I was just angry and pretended to scare her. The guilty person could not bear it, so he fell ill. As for Princess Jin, I heard from my mother a long time ago that Princess Jin had a habit of choosing to chant scriptures at Yin, so I asked the maid to try my luck. My daughter was just lucky. She fought for a burial place for her second sister, and I would like to thank the Queen Mother for giving her a decent identity."

Wei Jing got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Empress Dowager Zhaoming. No matter what the situation was, based on Wei Huaijin's identity as the prince's tutor, Wei Jing had to hug Empress Dowager Zhaoming's thighs tightly.

Empress Dowager Zhaoming smiled deeply, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and skillfully circulated his fingertips. After a moment, she said, "Once the emperor and the ministers, you sisters were originally noble girls who were in the deep boudoir, but now they all live like this. Now the bloodline of the Grand Tutor and Yongyang is only left, you are alone in the Marquis' Mansion."

Wei Shi immediately looked up at Empress Dowager Zhaoming, "My daughter doesn't feel lonely. My daughter believes that one day the big house will be injustice. Besides, my daughter can get the care of the Queen Mother, which is a great blessing for me. Some things are not something that will definitely belong to me if I fight for it. My daughter thinks it's just not time."

Empress Dowager Zhaoming looked at Wei Jing in surprise, then smiled softly, "Do you think the Ai family should take care of you the most appropriate way?"

Wei Zhi was overjoyed and kowtowed to Empress Dowager Zhaoming, "I wish to calmly copy scriptures and pray for blessings for Empress Dowager Zhaoming every month."

“That’s all?”

"Enough." Wei Jing nodded. Empress Dowager Zhaoming was inexplicably moved by the little girl. Suddenly, she remembered Princess Jin's previous words, and her eyes turned, "Madam Wen, go and prepare a room for Miss Wei Qi."

Madam Wen was even more surprised. The Queen Mother had no interest in Wei Shi before, so why did she stay in the blink of an eye? Before she could think about it, Madam Wen nodded immediately, "Yes, I will make arrangements now."

"I thank you for your care of the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Zhaoming's eyes closed, "Don't rush to thank Ai's family for now. The concubine Shu in the palace came from the Duke of Zheng. She has been a little uncomfortable these days. I don't know what's going on. You haven't seen a guest for a long time. Let's go and inquire on behalf of Ai's family."

Wei Zhi tightened his whole body. The Duke of Zheng was one of the left and right arms of Emperor Nanliang. This generation was a descendant of many promising descendants. Concubine Zheng was the eldest daughter of Duke Zheng and was also the most beloved imperial concubine of Emperor Nanliang.

Duke Zheng and Marquis of Nanyang were standing on the same boat, and it was also the Duke Zheng who searched for evidence of Wei Huaijin's rebellion from the big house and took people to raid the big house. That day, Wei Shi would never forget it.

"Yes!" Wei Jing nodded and soon understood the meaning of Empress Dowager Zhaoming.

Empress Dowager Zhaoming waved her hand and asked Wei Jing to retreat. Wei Jing was taken to the side hall. The arrangement was very warm, and there was a faint fragrance at the tip of her nose, which was the smell of sandalwood. There were two little palace maids around her serving her. Wei Jing asked Madam Wen, "I wonder what should the maid who comes with me do?"

"Don't worry, Miss Seven, I've been sent back to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion." Madam Wen's smile was chilling. Wei Shi guessed that Taoqin could not be kept in any way. This maid was too brave and dared to contradict the empress dowager in public.

Nanyang Hou Mansion

The nanny in the palace gave a ruler to Mrs. Nanyang Hou, and said in a singular manner what happened during the day. Mrs. Nanyang Hou's legs became weak and she knelt on the ground.

"My wife deserves to die. My wife did not teach her maid well. It was her dereliction of duty." Mrs. Marquis of Nanyang gritted her teeth, picked up the ruler and slapped her body for more than a dozen times. Taoqin was so scared that her face turned pale, and she lowered her head and dared not speak.

As soon as the tutoring nanny left, Mrs. Marquis of Nanyang suddenly looked up at Taoqin.

"Madam... I know I am wrong..." Taoqin shivered and felt heavy in her heart.

Mrs. Marquis of Nanyang slowly stood up and winked at Mo Xiang. Mo Xiang immediately asked the two women to drag Taoqin down. Taoqin couldn't even struggle and had no way to survive.
