Leftover Girl Crossing: King Leng's Stand-in Concubine

Chapter 655 Visit①

At dusk, Qingqing came to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, and the maid Wen Yuan who was serving her hurriedly bowed to Qingqing when she saw Qingqing: "The Empress Dowager is safe."

Qingqing said softly with a smile: "Aunt Wenyuan, I am here to greet the Empress Dowager." Because she has been with the Empress Dowager for a long time and is the maid in charge of this palace, Qingqing politely called her Auntie.

Wen Yuan said apologetically, "The empress dowager is still paying respects to the Buddha, I'm afraid the empress will wait a little longer."

Qingqing knew that the Empress Dowager had the habit of paying respects to the Buddha every afternoon, so she smiled gently and said, "It's okay, I will wait a minute."

Qingqing settled down on the carved mahogany chair, and Wen Yuan was busy making tea, and the ancient porcelain teacup faintly revealed a light color after the rain.

Opening the cup of tea gracefully, she saw that it was a cup of Pu-erh tea with an alluring rosy luster like wine. She gently wiped off the floating tea on the surface with the lid of the cup, took a sip gracefully and smiled at the cup. Wen Yuan said: "My aunt has a good memory. I still remember that I like this Pu'er. I finally know why the Queen Mother likes you so much."

Wen Yuan suppressed her smile and said, "Your Majesty, it's my duty to serve my master well."

Qingqing smiled lightly and said no more, she always felt that Wen Yuan was a humble person.

After about half a cup of tea, Wen Yang came to report that the Empress Dowager had finished taking care of the Buddha and let Qing Qing go in.

Qingqing tidied up her skirt, and calmly followed Wen Yuan to the inner room.

The lights in the inner room were dimmed, and the scent of sandalwood wafted from the incense burner. Qingqing had never liked this kind of scent, thinking it was too deep.

The empress dowager wore a dark brown high-necked long dress with dark brown stripes, and she was leaning on the chaise longue, squinting her hands and looking at the Buddhist scriptures. She only wore a sterling silver hairpin on her head, which could not be concealed without much decoration Elegance in the bones.

Qingqing bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes to look at the corner of her mouth and drew a faint smile, but her eyes were like the deep green pool, which made it hard to see.

After a pause, she said: "Wen Yuan went to see if there is any rock sugar blood swallow stewed in the small kitchen today, and brought it to the empress."

Wen Yuan hurriedly took the order to fetch it.

The Queen Mother then said: "I think your complexion is not very good, you must be too tired these days!"
