Chapter 894: The Empress Dowager is a whetstone!

. 。Before she arrived, she had been looking forward to it. But after only half a day on the road, she started missing her parents and grandmother, eagerly hoping to get home soon. 。Mrs. Cui didn't res..."The county princess makes sense. You don't have to learn the etiquette, just keep the princess company and help this old woman pass the time."

The Empress dowager smiled and gave a promise.

But Jia Yin didn't know when to stop, and continued to make demands, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, my grandmother told me before I left home to take care of Suijin Beach and the business inside the house."

“Therefore, this servant girl cannot stay in the palace every day. From now on, this servant girl will be in the palace for three days and go home for two days. How about that”

"The Empress Dowager and I share no blood relation, yet she loves me dearly.

"

"Naturally, my family members adore me and would be deeply worried if I were to be away for too long. They might even fall ill from missing me."

"My foster father and my biological father are going to war for the country, and my uncle also has a task to relieve the burden on the country. The Empress Dowager must not bear to see them not seeing me, missing me, is that right"

On the other side of the screen, Li Lao'er and the Marquis and others heard this, almost laughing out loud. Their hearts finally eased.

My little girl is usually very sweet to the elders, and I didn't expect her to be so effective at a critical moment.

If these words came from their mouths, they would be showing a lack of respect.

But when the little girl spoke it out loud, she threw the difficult problem to the Empress Dowager.

It is unreasonable for the Empress Dowager to refuse, forcing her subjects and their families to be separated.

If you agree, then it's like inviting a pampered little ancestor into the palace who can't handle any hardship!

As expected, the Empress Dowager was fuming with anger, but she still conceded, "Fine, you're a dutiful child. Do as you please!"

Jia Yin finally burst into a smile, her voice filled with joy as she thanked the Empress Dowager. "Thank you, Empress Dowager. I knew that your benevolence and wisdom would allow you to understand my situation! "

"This servant will go home and pack her things. She will enter the palace before the Lantern Festival and accompany the Empress Dowager to watch the lanterns at that time."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said nothing more.

Everyone could see that the Empress Dowager was not pleased.

But they were even more surprised by Lady Kang Le's courage.

The little girl dared to bargain with the Empress Dowager, and she nearly crushed her throughout the entire conversation...

Put yourself in their shoes. If their daughter were required to enter the palace, they would probably only cry and wail, where would they dare to fight for their own convenience!

Perhaps having achieved her goal, the Empress Dowager grew impatient with being scrutinized by everyone openly and secretly. She excused herself on the pretext of a headache.

Hardly had she left, when the third princess grabbed Jia Yin's hand, tears of regret welling up in her eyes.

"I shouldn't have come to find you for snacks, otherwise your grandmother won't see you and won't let you into the palace!"

Jia Yin wasn't really to blame either.

The Empress Dowager had clearly already made up her mind. Even without the Third Princess coming to chat and play, she would have found another excuse.

But she wasn't about to comfort the third princess, after all, this little girl would still be her bodyguard in the future!

"So, Jia Yin also had a look of grievance and worry all over her face. She hugged the arms of the third princess and whispered, "Princess sister, I'm scared. After entering the palace, you have to protect me!"

"Great!"

The third princess was touched by her elder sisters' words. She instantly lifted her head, stood tall, and hugged Jia Yin tightly. "Don't worry," she said, "if anyone dares to bully you, I'll whip them!"

"Then, we'll eat and live together!"

"Okay, I'll bring some more fruit from home! And let Baiyun send us fresh baked treats every day!"

At just the right moment, Jia Yin presented Princess Three with a "date," which undoubtedly brought her even more joy...

On the other side, the marquis took advantage of the toast to get to the emperor.

Before he could speak, the Emperor whispered, "Brother, I didn't know she would come up with this idea. Don't worry, you can choose two good men from the dark guards to secretly protect Fu Niuer."

The Marquis nodded. He had many people at his disposal, but to avoid suspicion, none were arranged within the palace.

For this matter, he could only seek help from the Emperor.

Jia Yin had some self-defense skills, plus the princess was never far from her side. Coupled with the secret guards' covert protection, even if the Empress Dowager truly wanted to harm her, it wouldn't be easy.

After entering the palace three or five times, you can find an excuse to back out...

Without saying how the Li family held their breath and worried inwardly, let's just say that as the guests watched the dance and song, they were also secretly whispering amongst themselves.

Especially some simple women, who don't understand the court intrigues, are instead envious of Jiayin being able to be a princess's companion reader.

"How could the Empress Dowager take a fancy to that bumpkin from the Li family It's an honor for her to enter the palace and accompany the princess, yet she hesitates and refuses. She can't stand hardship or grievances!"

"Indeed, the Empress Dowager is truly kind and compassionate. If it were me, I would have punished her severely for such disrespect long ago!"

"In terms of appearance, background, and character, my family and Rou are far superior to those wild girls from the Li family. It's a pity that we don't know how to flatter like them. Look at how they pleased Princess Three and earned the Empress Dowager's favor!"

Jia Yin wouldn't have heard these words, if she had, she would have rolled her eyes at them and encouraged them to send their daughters to Shou Kang Palace as soon as possible!

After a feast that lasted until the moon was high in the sky, they finally dispersed.

Both Lord Hou and Mr. Wen followed by carriage, going directly to the Earl's mansion.

At the first gate, everyone's face was grim.

Jia Yin didn't want to worry her elders, so she smiled and prepared hot tea. She poured a cup for everyone and said, "Father-in-law, Father, Second Uncle, Mr. Wen, I know the Empress Dowager doesn't have good intentions. I will definitely be careful in the palace and not cause any trouble for her."

She provoked me, and I cried out loud. She was worried about her reputation and wouldn't dare to do it again.

"Don't worry, I won't let myself be wronged!"

Of course, the Lord and his entourage were well aware of this, and they were even more confident in Jiayin's intelligence.

But after all, Shoukang Palace was the Empress Dowager's territory. The little girl was under everyone's noses. If anyone wanted to scheme against her, there were still too many ways.

If the Empress Dowager is pushed too far, don't worry about her reputation or face. Create an accident like drowning, and kill the little girl. Who could then point fingers at the Empress Dowager and accuse her!

Even if you get revenge later, even if you kill the Empress Dowager, it will be useless!

Li Laoer sighed, "If only I had known, I wouldn't have let Fu Niuer enter the palace tonight!"

Mr. Wen said impartially, “Fu Niu’er is a county princess. She has been hiding for so many years, and if she doesn't return to the palace now, I'm afraid someone will seize this opportunity to attack our family.”

"Yes, Second Uncle," Jia Yin quickly nodded. "I've grown up, I'm not a child anymore."

"From now on, I'll have to face these things anyway. This time, I'll just use it as a chance to practice."

Everyone laughed.

The Lord sighed helplessly, rubbing his daughter’s hair. “You have quite the temper, taking the Empress Dowager as a whetstone.”

After saying that, he pondered for a moment and then said, "I just asked the Emperor for two guards to protect you in the palace. I'll have Mu Xu arranged to be among them, plus another expert. Remember to be careful when you act."

A good ear can understand; this wasn't her foster father warning her to be careful of the Empress, but rather to be careful not to be discovered by the guards.

She quickly agreed, "Understood, Godfather."

Li Lao Si told his daughter, "If you are wronged, don't be afraid of anything, just make a big fuss."

"Father immediately rode his horse and, sword in hand, rushed into the palace. He'd snatch you out even if he had to!"

"Well then, my dad is Thor, the strongest of all!" Jia Yin hugged her father's neck and kissed him on the cheek.

Li Lao Si got into a big argument.

My best friend has grown up, and it's been a long time since we've been this close!

Before Li Jia's family members gathered together, they carefully considered all the possibilities of entering the palace and did their best to add safeguards for the child.

As for Quanzhou, such a winter day is still green everywhere, with flowers in full bloom and birds singing.

In the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, Old Lady Li brought her whole family to sit in the courtyard, basking in the sunshine and eating dumplings. It truly felt magical! Zhensheng with smiles and then went back to the fields to continue working.Lao Li saw that dozens of people were waiting in the convoy, so she hurriedly urged Lao Er, "Where's Lao Er Quickly take you...
