When Hua Yuan heard the empress dowager's words, she walked over bashfully and coquettishly. She refused to comply. ”Empress Dowager, I really miss you so much that I wanted to come and see you.”
The empress dowager patted the seat beside her. ”Come sit here.”
Hua Yuan obeyed and sat down. Her Majesty took her hand and said, ”After not seeing her for a while, you have become beautiful and happy again. Ying Rong, go and get that box of pearls from This Dowager. You girls can use it. I heard that it's also very good to use the pearl grinded into powder to cover your face, take it over and play with it. ”
In the past, the empress dowager often gave her gifts, so this time she accepted them without any objections. She even smiled as she said, ”Esteemed Empress Dowager's things are just different.”
Hua Yuan's eyes narrowed into slits as he spoke. He looked like a little money grubber.
When they returned to their residences, the young ladies who came to participate in the selection naturally knew of the person that the empress dowager valued. It was impossible to say that he didn't feel sour at all. However, if he wanted to create a future here, even though he couldn't help but feel sad, he had no choice but to fawn over Hua Li.
No matter what, this person had a powerful backer.
Therefore, after seeing Hua Yuan coming over, the few girls who were staying here all crowded around Hua Yuan and chattered non-stop.
”Ah, I really want to see what sort of person Esteemed Empress Dowager is. Younger sister's luck is really good.”
”Seeing how adorable she looks, Esteemed Empress Dowager must love her to her heart's content.”
”What did Miss Bai Qin hold in her hand? It must be something bestowed by the empress dowager.” Can you show it to us so that we can have a look at it? ”
In short, it was a matter of utmost flattery.
Hua Yuan is lacking in some aspects.
”Pfft, don't you people see that he doesn't even want to bother with you?” ”You have no backbone at all, is that all you need to fawn over?”
The one who spoke was none other than Yun Xin who was passing by. She had an arrogant look on her face and felt disdain when she looked at the crowd. That expression made it seem like he could dirty his eyes just by looking at her.
As he slowly walked past Hua Yuan, he looked at her with contempt, as if she had done something shameful.
”Look at your arrogant appearance. What do you have to be so arrogant for?” Even if I were to live in the palace everyday, I would not be as arrogant as you! ” Crackling sounds could be heard, as if Hua Yuan was worthless!
However, everyone knew of Princess Yun Xin's identity. Even though she was fawning over Hua Yuan, Princess Yun Xin did not dare to offend her. Therefore, she pretended to be deaf and stood to the side without saying a word.
Hua Yuan frowned, but didn't say anything.
Looking at Princess Yun Xin, that expression of mine, that I know what's good for me, that expression of mine that I won't argue with you has really depressed Princess Yun Xin.
Needless to say, such a small figure like her would definitely not be a simple person.
”Humph!” Just you wait! ” As he spoke, he turned around and looked at those people, ”You people, there will be a day when you all beg for me!”
After saying that, he walked away angrily. Just by looking at the direction, he knew that they were going to look for the empress.
As the ruler of the imperial harem, it was impossible for the empress dowager to have not heard of what had happened today.
She called her palace maid over and asked, ”What exactly did you say about the matters that happened today?”
The palace maid was the empress dowager's man, so she naturally wouldn't side with the empress, much less the empress's niece. He naturally told the truth.
After the empress dowager heard this, she felt that Princess Yun Xin had indeed been spoiled too much.
In terms of status, she was merely the daughter of Prince Xin. Even the emperor's daughter, the real princess, wouldn't act so arrogantly in the palace and be so arrogant that she wouldn't put anyone in her eyes if she had some relationship with the empress.
