The next day, Tang Shishi got up early, put on a fashionable white gold woven long coat, and wore a lotus-colored dress underneath, and went to the Forbidden City to greet the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager Yao is the grandmother of the current emperor and should be called the Grand Empress Dowager according to etiquette. However, Empress Dowager Yao drove the emperor's birth mother to death. She was not called the Grand Empress Dowager, but she was still the Empress Dowager, and she was still in charge of the court as the Empress Dowager.
Tang Shishi handed over her name tag, and soon someone came to greet Tang Shishi. The woman looked twenty or so, dressed in a green palace dress, her hair was tight, and she gently greeted Tang Shishi.
"How is Princess Jing?"
Tang Shishii leaned sideways and nodded: "This Princess is good."
"The Empress Dowager has been waiting for the princess for a long time." the woman smiled, stepped away and said, "Qinwangfei, please come with nubi."
Tang Shishi followed the woman to Ci Ning Palace. Tang Shishi is no stranger to Ci Ning Palace. When she first entered the palace five years ago, she lived in Chuxiu Palace with many beautiful women, practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and etiquette every day. Chuxiu Palace is a beauty with serious internal fighting. If you want to have a good life, the best thing to do is to please Empress Dowager Yao.
Tang Shishi doesn't know how many times she has walked from the side corridor of Ci Ning Palace, but this time, Tang Shishi took another path and entered Ci Ning Palace from the outer gate.
In Cining Palace, Emperess Dowager Yao was teasing her parrot, and Feng Momo stood outside the curtain and reported: "Your Highness, Princess Jing is here."
"Here she is." Empress Dowager Yao slowly retracted her nails, washed her hands, and said unhurriedly, "Let her in."
Tang Shishi stepped in front of Ci Ning Palace, the servants opened the thick curtain, and a heat wave swept, which made people feel dizzy. Tang Shishi then entered. She kept her eyes down, vaguely watching the figure swaying on the floor, and immediately bowed and saluted: "This Princess sees the empress dowager."
No one answered, but Tang Shishi was not in a hurry, staring down at the cracks on the bricks on the ground, maintaining her position steadily. After a while, there was a gentle and slow voice: "Princess Jing is here, why didn't you say so? Please get up."
"This Princess dare not." Tang Shishi still lowered her eyes and said, "This Princess has admired the Empress Dowager for a long time. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager allowed me to go back to Jinling this year. This Princess arrived in Jinling yesterday and should have went yesterday. May the Empress Dowager pardon my sins."
"What crime is there to be forgiven?" Empress Dowager Yao said slowly, "It's cold outside, go into the Nuan Pavilion and talk."
Tang Shishi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "Thank the Empress Dowager."
Tang Shishi walked into the hood and passed through the carved door. The fragrance inside was more rich, and the servants also increased in number. The servants saw her, and they all smiled: "Princess Jing."
Tang Shishi responded with a smile: "Feng Momo, Sulan Momo."
In front, a middle-aged woman wearing a navy blue skirt and a long ocharf green jacket leaned in front, peeling chestnuts, with several court ladies under her feet, quietly massaging the woman's legs. Tang Shishi immediately recognized that this was Empress Dowager Yao. She bowed her head and greeted Empress Dowager Yao: "This Princess sees the Empress Dowager." (T/N: I don't get this part...didn't she greet her at the door)
