Chapter 331 Happy New Life
The Grand Empress Dowager took her hand, patted the back of her hand, and said kindly, "You are a good-looking young man. Look at your cheeks, you can pinch water out of them. You don't look like you gave birth to two children at once."
"You are also blessed. You gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for the emperor. They are my great-grandson and great-granddaughter. You must bring them to me someday to let me see them!"
Qin Liuse smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager wants to see them. When the weather is fine another day, I will ask the wet nurse to bring them to the Empress Dowager to see. If the two children knew that the great-grandmother loved them so much, they would definitely be happy."
The Empress Dowager listened and smiled, "Okay, okay! But there will be heavy snow and wind these two days, so don't worry. I will go over to take a look when I have time. That will be good."
This made Qin Liuse panic, and she quickly said, "It's not convenient for the old man to go out in the wind and snow. I think it will be sunny in a few days. Then I will bring the two children to pay respect to the old ancestor."
"Alright, alright." Seeing that the two were still being polite, Emperor Yongjia came out and said, "I will bring the two younger ones to pay respects to you some other day. Only the younger ones will pay respects to the older ones. How can an old ancestor go to see others?"
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager glanced at Emperor Yongjia, but still smiled kindly, which showed that she loved this grandson very much.
At one moment, a maid came in and asked the Empress Dowager if she wanted lunch.
When the Empress Dowager saw that everyone was present, she nodded and said, "Pass it up."
Then he took Qin Liuse's hand and walked to the side hall on the right where food was served.
The Empress Dowager really took good care of her. In this situation, Qin Liuse almost thought that she was just a new wife of a wealthy family among the common people.
Because of the care the Empress Dowager gave her, it was really like an old man in the folks treating her grandson and daughter-in-law whom she loved very much.
The Empress Dowager pulled Qin Liuse and asked her to sit on her right, while Emperor Yongjia sat opposite Qin Liuse, on the left side of the Empress Dowager.
One on the left and one on the right, two grandchildren.
The dishes had not yet been served, but the Empress Dowager was still holding Qin Liuse's hand and talking to her for a long time.
As she spoke, the Empress Dowager took off the jade bracelet on her hand and was about to put it on Qin Liuse's hand.
Qin Liuse didn't dare to take it, and quickly said, "This is the Empress Dowager's personal belongings, I can't accept it."
It goes without saying that this bracelet, which she always carries with her, has been with the Empress Dowager for many years.
The Empress Dowager gave her the bracelet, which had great meaning behind it, so Qin Liuse of course had to refuse it.
"Since the Emperor has already chosen you, you are my grandson's wife. There is nothing special about this bracelet, but since I see that you are beautiful and I love it very much, I have not prepared anything. I will just treat this as a meeting gift between us grandparents and grandchildren. Of course you can afford it." said the Empress Dowager.
Qin Liuse's eyes were flushed as she glanced at Emperor Yongjia. Seeing him nod at her, she responded and, after thanking him, let the Empress Dowager put the bracelet directly on her hand.
When Qin Liuse wore this jade bracelet on her wrist, she felt it was extremely heavy, as if she was wearing more than just a jade bracelet.
The Empress Dowager naturally also saw the flirting between Emperor Yongjia and Qin Liuse, but as an elder, she did not expose it and just smiled at the two of them.
In a short while, all the food was served.
Qin Liuse wanted to serve the Empress Dowager for dinner, but the old aunt standing beside her hurried over and said with a smile, "I can't bear it, I can't bear it."
"Your Majesty, you can use it. I am used to serving you, and the Empress Dowager is also used to it."
Qin Liuse sat down after hearing this, but she didn't dare to eat as much as she did in her own palace.
The old man eats slowly, chewing his food carefully. Qin Liuse didn't dare to eat too fast either. He just used one chopstick to eat slowly, taking small bites at a time.
However, Emperor Yongjia was having dinner with the Empress Dowager today, and his movements were much slower than usual, obviously he was deliberately taking care of the elderly.
This was the first time that the Empress Dowager met Qin Liuse. She was obviously very interested in this young and beautiful woman who could be honored as the Imperial Noble Consort by Emperor Yongjia, surpassing several concubines who had served him for many years.
After all, she was the one who watched Emperor Yongjia grow up. Although the Empress Dowager often didn't know what her grandson was thinking, she knew that he was a man with his own opinions. Therefore, she became more interested in Qin Liuse.
During the meal, the old man ate slowly without stopping, and kept chatting with Qin Liuse about many family matters.
The Grand Empress Dowager seemed very interested in Qin Liuse's growth experience. Qin Liuse listened to her questions and told the Grand Empress Dowager truthfully about his date of birth, the books he read as a child, and the place where he grew up.
After Qin Liuse finished speaking, the Empress Dowager didn't say anything and seemed to be thinking about something.
Qin Liuse, who was eating with her head down, noticed it, but could only pretend that she didn't notice anything.
Because she knew in her heart that her appointment to the position of Imperial Noble Consort was actually a little sudden. Although she now has two children, they are still young and do not have much experience.
It would be normal if the Empress Dowager had some opinions.
If the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up. For Qin Liuse, this tall man is Emperor Yongjia.
So she was not that embarrassed, because if the Empress Dowager had any objections, she would look for Emperor Yongjia instead of herself.
But even if the Empress Dowager had an opinion, she was not the kind of person who was not decent enough to point it out to her face. After a while, she smiled and said to Qin Liuse, "Suzhou and Hangzhou are good places with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I like them too. Look at how well you have been raised and how cute everyone loves you."
After talking about Su Hang, the Empress Dowager turned the topic back to Qin Boyuan and asked some questions about Qin Liuse's parents.
Obviously, Qin Boyuan's identity as Qin Shaoqing added a lot of value to Qin Liuse. When the Empress Dowager talked about it, she smiled more than before.
"Your elder sister grew up in the capital, and you grew up in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Did your father hire some female teachers for you?" The Empress Dowager asked with a smile.
Qin Liuse nodded, thinking to herself that the Empress Dowager was probably worried that she grew up in the south, had never been to school, was illiterate, and therefore could not sit on the position of Empress.
All of a sudden, he mentioned the name of the female teacher hired by his parents in the private school where he used to study.
When the Empress Dowager heard that Qin Liuse was literate, had a dabbling in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and also knew needlework, the smile on her face became much brighter than before.
It may be because Qin Liuse's father is a businessman and the thing he has the most is money, so the female teachers hired for her are not unknown, but well-known small and large families in the south.
And because she was not short of money, she was able to learn more than others. So no matter how you look at it, Qin Liuse could be considered to have some knowledge and was able to show for it.
