Wang Yiyao wondered why the Queen Mother was so polite to her. Was he really of any use to the Queen Mother?
While drinking tea, Wang Yiyao thought, she was from the capital of Western Qin, and she was the Queen Mother of Xining Palace. How could he help her?
"Thank you, Queen Mother. I am very used to everything here."
Wang Yiyao has been waiting for the Queen Mother of Xining to express her request. She tried her best to capture her into the palace. She couldn't just come to chat with her.
The Queen of Xining seems to be very calm and is not in a hurry to express her inner thoughts.
Wang Yiyao had already drank three cups of tea in a row. She really couldn't wait any longer and thought to herself, "If you don't tell me, I'll say hello directly."
"Queen Mother, do you have..."
Before Wang Yiyao finished speaking, the maid next to the Queen Mother came up to her and wondered what she said?
"Here, let's take the princess for a stroll in the Ai family's yard. If the Ai family has something to do, please leave for a while."
Wang Yiyao was led by servants from the Queen Mother's Palace in Xining to stroll around the garden casually.
Flowers are in full bloom here, attracting many bees and butterflies, and there is also a small lotus pond with several budding lotus flowers that are very shy.
This kind of scenery reminded Wang Yiyao of the garden in the palace. Feng Minyi knew that she liked lotus, so she ordered people to plant a lot of them. I wonder what happened to those lotus flowers now.
Just as she was thinking about this, Wang Yiyao was awakened from her thoughts of lovesickness by the voice of her sister behind her.
"Sister, why haven't you come back for so long? I'm so worried."
"Tui'er, the Queen Mother has something to do, so she asked me to take a walk in this courtyard."
Cui'er arrived just in time, and she happened to have something to ask her, "I'll just go shopping by myself. You guys go and do your work. Just tell me when the Queen Mother comes back later."
Wang Yiyao sent the people around the Queen Mother away, pretending to let Cui'er accompany her for a stroll, "Cui'er, why is your Queen Mother of Xining so young? The Emperor ascended the throne at such a young age."
"Sister, you don't know, right? The Queen Mother is not yet thirty years old today. The late Emperor died early due to some unknown illness, and there was only one prince in the harem, so the Emperor ascended the throne at such a young age."
Wang Yiyao suddenly understood that this was similar to their situation in Xi Qin.
"Then the Queen Mother controls the government of Xining now? It's really not easy for her as a woman."
Cui'er continued, "No, behind the Queen Mother, there is the Regent. He is the Queen Mother's right-hand man, and the relationship between the two is unusual. Everyone knows this, and the two of them never shy away from anything.
"
I really didn’t expect that this reality would always be worse than the TV series. Wang Yiyao originally thought that such unscrupulous things would appear in the TV series.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yiyao not only witnessed it in Xi Qin, but also the same story happened again in Xining.
The Queen Mother of Xining came to her bedroom. The Regent was already waiting here. After the two met, they turned away from the palace people and snuggled together naturally.
"Have you met that woman from Xi Qin? Have you told her your thoughts?"
"You're here before I even say anything, and I asked someone to take her to the garden."
The Prince Regent was stroking the Queen Mother's shoulder while thinking about something. His eyes were as deep as two mists, or like a bottomless pool.
"Remember, no matter what method we use, we must let her be used by us. This woman is very powerful. I have also found out some information about her."
The Queen Mother of Xining saw Wang Yiyao just now and did not think she was as magical as the legend said, "What news? This woman must have some abilities, but is she really as powerful as you say?"
The regent moved the queen mother to sit in front of him, and the two faced each other, "Hey, she was the one who rescued King Donglin from the previous murders. Do you think she has the ability?"
In this way, the Queen Mother actually admired Wang Yiyao a little.
"Oh? So the Ai family underestimated her?"
"Well, so you go quickly now and tell her our thoughts and see what her attitude is. Even if it means forcing her, we must use her."
The Queen Mother left her bedroom with some reluctance and returned to the place where she had just received guests.
"Princess, Your Majesty, please go back and continue the conversation."
"Okay, I understand, I'll go back now. Cui'er, just go back and wait for me."
"Okay, sister, you must be careful when you are alone. I will wait for you to come back."
Wang Yiyao returned to the room again, and the Queen Mother was still sitting on the phoenix throne with a smile on her face, waiting for her.
"How is it? Is the scenery in Aijuan's house nice?"
Wang Yiyao stood up, "The scenery is very pleasant, especially the lotus flowers in the pond, which are in bud, I like it very much."
"Since you like it, then stay here forever. The Ai family happens to have a lot of things to ask of you."
Wang Yiyao thought that after going around in such a big circle, she finally got to the point.
"I am stupid and don't know what else I can do to help the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother heard that Wang Yiyao was somewhat reluctant, but she would not give up like this. After all, such talents are very rare.
"Princess, please stop being so modest. The Ai family has heard about your deeds in Western Qin. Your medical skills are very good. The Ai family wants you to stay by your side and help the Ai family."
When Wang Yiyao heard that she was going to be trapped in the palace in Xining, she became anxious. She was not some barefoot doctor wandering around.
She has more important things to do, and Feng Minyi hasn't been found yet, so she definitely can't agree to this.
"Those are just rumors. My concubine's medical skills are actually very average and not as magical as the rumors say. I'm afraid I will disappoint the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother must have heard Wang Yiyao's obvious refusal, but she was not in a hurry and kept smiling.
"Don't refuse. The Ai family has already asked people to inquire about your matter. Moreover, this is in Xining, and there are many things. It is better for the princess to be respectful than to obey orders. Otherwise, the consequences will be..."
When the Queen Mother of Xining said these words, she still had a smile on her face, without a trace of anger on her face.
Wang Yiyao couldn't help but sigh, this trick was really good, but she was not a coward, so she would not give in just because she was the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, it's not that I won't help you, it's that I have more important things to do."
How could the Queen Mother of Xining not know the purpose of her coming out this time, but right now she just wanted to keep her in the palace.
"No matter what you have to do, since you are here, many things are not up to you. Come on, please pull this woman down and let her taste what it feels like to suffer."
