Chapter 284 A Man
An Yi looked around and said, "I haven't even been diagnosed with the Empress Dowager's Pilgrimage." She had long wanted to meet the Princess Zheng, but because of her blindness, she rarely entered the palace. She came occasionally once or twice, and she happened to be away. Xie Mantang had long told her that Princess Zheng was going to enter the palace and asked her to take care of her, but she had waited for a long time before seeing someone, so of course she had to seize the opportunity.
Aunt Jiang smiled and gently pinched her face, but didn't say anything. It was just because there were too many rules in the palace, even though everyone knew that there was a little abnormality between Xie Mantang and An Yi, it was difficult to talk randomly before it could be formally decided.
Not long after, the palace servant came in and said, "Princess Zheng is here to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager."
"Hurry up!" The Empress Dowager Lian's face was filled with a smile. She had no grudge against King Zheng's biological mother. Because King Zheng was plotted to die prematurely by Mr. Wei, she felt a little more sympathetic to Princess Zheng. In addition, Xie Mantang was very upright and tenacious. This mother and son were more respectful to her.
An Yi stood behind Empress Dowager Lian, carefully looking at Princess Zheng who was helped in from outside by the palace servant. Princess Zheng should be less than fifty years old, but her hair was gray and her eyes were dull. She had a decent and gentle smile on her face. She walked, saluted and had rules in every move, and she could tell that she was well educated.
But An Yi knew that Princess Zheng's family was just a small seventh-rank Hanlin. The reason why she became a noble prince's wife was because of her outstanding beauty. In order to suppress the princes, Wei Shuren tried every means to match the princes with a low-class wife. However, if she wanted to be a prince's wife, since she was not of high origin, she had to have outstanding talents or beautiful character to be reasonable, otherwise it would be too unreasonable.
Under such a background, Princess Zheng became the prince's concubine with her outstanding beauty and character. In the years she was widowed, her mother's family declined and she could not lend a helping hand, which led to extremely difficult life between the mother and the son. However, she used her good character to raise Xie Mantang and cultivate her today's glory. Such a person is worthy of respect.
While An Yi was thinking, the Queen Mother said, "Xiao An, go and help Princess Zheng come over and sit down."
Have you heard of her and Xie Mantang? I wonder what Empress Dowager Lian’s attitude is? An Yi looked at Empress Dowager Lian guiltily, but could not see any clues from Empress Dowager Lian’s face, so she calmed down and thought it was an ordinary incident. After all, Empress Dowager Lian had loved to ask her to help the elderly ladies who entered the palace to meet.
Princess Zheng steadily led An Yi to sit down, and nodded at An Yi in a kind manner: "Miss for work."
Aunt Jiang smiled and said, "The princess hasn't seen Xiao An yet. She is the girl who last time the Empress Dowager said she wanted to show you the eyes."
After listening quietly, Princess Zheng bowed toward Empress Dowager Lian, and said respectfully and gratefully: "I am worried about my mother." Then she turned to An Yi and smiled: "Doctor Xiao An, right? I have heard of your name for a long time, and I only saw you today."
