Chapter 26 Digging Deep While Digging
Qiu Yelan had not seen Chu Weize, Prince Yan. Even if she had seen him, it was not the right time to greet. So, she turned around and followed Nijin into the hall after saluting.
"I'm Qiu Yelan. Wish you all the best, Your Majesty!" She saluted in accordance with the rules after being led to the Beijue Hall. Empress Jiang asked her to stand up quickly," Sit down. You are first-class Commandery Princess. You don't have to be restrained."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qiu Yelan guessed that the Empress might like a generous and straightforward character since she talked back to Empress Dowager without euphemism. So she sat down on the next drum stool without refusal.
She glanced at steps above silently. Empress Jiang now changed into regular clothes. She wore a pink peace Ruyi cloud patterned brocade coat, tied with a jade belt. She twisted her hair into a spiral bun and looked cute and lovely.
However, the Empress's momentum remained.

Second, my grandfather is still in bed. How can I enjoy the festival myself and forget my grandfather's need of being looked after?""No wonder Her Majesty says Your Grace is filial and reasonable," Nijin said smiling.

Nijin helped Qiu Yelan get off the sedan with Su He.Gu Yan had been jeered at for several times. His face under the veil hat was as cold as frost but he still showed no intent to leave.

The matter of Qiu Mengmin is waiting for your imperial decree to unduke him!"Qiu Yelan sighed in her heart.

They were attentive to General Ruan.She was stunned for a while. Deng Yi turned his head and stared at her fiercely while kneading General Ruan's legs.
