Chapter 948 I’m Different From You
After everyone left, only Jiang Ran stayed.
Her relationship with the Empress Dowager was different from others. Since she was determined to stay, she no longer had to go to the Jiaofang Palace and stayed directly in the Ci'an Palace.
She went in to see the Queen Mother and saw a young and tall woman sitting next to the Queen Mother.
This woman's dress is a bit weird, and it's hard to tell her identity. On the contrary, the intimacy with the Empress Dowager made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Ran walked over, saluted Queen Mother Taihuang, and called out a little aggrievedly: "Grandma Huang."
The Empress Dowager was closing her eyes to calm herself down. After hearing this, she opened her eyes and looked at her, and snorted heavily.
"Do you still have the nerve to come and see the Ai family? Do you still have the Ai family in your eyes?"
"Grandma Huang, what did Ran'er do wrong?"
"Look at what you are wearing!" The Empress Dowager sat up straight, pointed at her, and scolded her, "The Ai family said that the emperor will come today, and they specially asked someone to give her clothes. I gave you the jewelry just to dress you up and not embarrass the Ai family. What about you?"
Jiang Ran's eye circles suddenly turned red.
She raised her hand to wipe her tears and choked: "Ran'er didn't want this either. It's not Ran'er's fault."
"Why, could it be that the Ai family forced you to wear this old and ugly dress?"
"Grandma Huang, I really don't blame Ran'er this time." She pursed her lips, "Because yesterday... I always thought that the Queen was just an ordinary showgirl, and that the Emperor really didn't like women dressing up in makeup... Who knew she It's the Queen. Ran'er has been deceived."
Zhou Yizhi laughed out loud as she listened.
Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she could probably guess what happened at that time from Jiang Ran's words.
The emperor and empress must have joined forces to tease this stupid girl.
Jiang Ran looked up at her, pursed her lips and said, "Why are you smiling?"
"I laugh at you for being stupid." Zhou Yizhi said with a smile, "Who do you think the emperor is, that he would just casually pick up a beautiful girl and then go back to bed with her? It's really ridiculous."
"I have never met the emperor, how do I know what kind of person he is..."
"Jiang Ran!" the Empress Dowager shouted sternly, "Who allows you to talk about the emperor behind his back? Do you still want to stay in the palace?"
Jiang Ran lowered her head and muttered: "Didn't she also say..."
Zhou Yizhi said with a smile: "I am different from you. I am an elder. It is harmless to say a few words. The emperor will not care about me."
"Elder?" Jiang Ran looked at her young face in surprise.
The Empress Dowager spoke: "She is the late emperor's concubine. The Ai family likes her and keeps her as a companion in the palace. You are not allowed to be rude to her."
Jiang Ran was even more surprised.
It turned out that this woman was the late emperor's concubine.
No wonder then.
She was even more depressed, but she didn't dare to talk back to Zhou Yizhi anymore.
The Queen Mother looked at her with a disappointed look on her face.
She didn't expect that the granddaughter sent by her brother would be a fool with beauty but no brains.
She hasn't become a concubine yet, but she was fooled by the queen so easily. What else can she expect from her in the future?
But after all, she is a relative of her mother's family. No matter how disappointed she is, she still has to support her.
…
Back at Fengyi Palace, Yun Dai went to change her clothes and wash her face and hands.
Her outfit is beautiful and is only suitable for wearing outside. Because you have to hold it up all the time, if your posture collapses, it will not look good, and it will also let down such a dress.
She changed into an old half-dress that she usually wore, took off her jewelry, held her long hair with a butterfly hairpin, and sat down refreshingly.
Guo Ning waddled in holding a round fan.
