Chapter 208 It’s Not Too Late
Besides, she is not alone.
She also has a mother...and a younger sister.
As long as she accomplishes this task, she will be able to see her mother.
Thinking of this, Qixia took a deep breath and continued to get information from Ling Lan according to Jiang Wanyue's instructions.
When she had asked almost all the questions, Qixia waved to the palace maid who was standing beside her like an invisible person.
"I'll leave her to you."
After saying that, she strode out of the room without caring about Ling Lan's shouting.
The nuns outside the house looked respectful when they saw her come out.
These nuns were transferred here recently. As for those nuns who bullied her in the past, no one knows where they have gone.
Qixia straightened her back.
"Hold on, I'll be back soon."
After giving a few instructions, Qixia walked out of the guest house.
She walked through the long corridor and entered the main hall of Tianfu Temple from the door on the other side.
In front of the tall Buddha statue, there is a woman in palace dress kneeling in front of a cushion.
She half-closed her eyes and muttered something, her expression full of respect and expectation.
The moment Qixia saw her, she subconsciously slowed down her steps and even her breathing became much lighter.
She walked over carefully step by step, and when she got right in front of it, she couldn't help but scream.
"mother……"
When Wei Fuxue heard the voice, she turned around and saw her daughter, her eyes lighting up with surprise.
"Ping'er!"
She stood up with the help of the mat and hugged Qixia.
Tears fell uncontrollably.
"Why have you lost so much weight?"
Wei Fuxue looked at Qixia with great heartache. She touched her daughter's face with her hands, then touched her back. She was so sad that her tears fell even more violently.
Qixia's eyes were hot and her nose was sore, but she held back her tears and smiled happily.
"You will naturally lose weight if you eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in the temple. But mother, why do you look so haggard? Are you doing well in the palace? Is anyone bullying you? Oh, where is your sister?"
She asked several questions in a row.
Wei Fuxue touched the top of her head and said lovingly.
"Your sister is still too young to leave the palace. But the Queen said that when she is a hundred days old, she will invite the female masters from the temple to come to the palace, and then you can come with her to see us."
Qixia breathed a sigh of relief and her smile became more genuine.
"It seems that the Queen is very kind to you and your sister."
My choice was right.
Qixia said in her heart.
As long as her mother and sister are doing well, she will feel relieved.
Wei Fuxue sighed.
"The Queen is a good person. Everyone in the palace respects her, not just the concubines in the palace, but even the eldest prince and the eldest princess... the princess all trust her. She has never treated any concubine who had sinned against her harshly in the past."
The implication is that you don't have to worry about me.
Qixia was thinking that the queen valued her reputation and would not go back on her word.
The mother and daughter walked to the side and sat down together, as if they had endless things to talk about.
Not long after, a palace maid in a green dress walked in from outside.
"Empress Rong, Princess, it's almost time."
Qixia held Wei Fuxue's hand reluctantly.
"Mom, you have to be fine, don't think too much, and take care of yourself."
Wei Fuxue's throat was choked with sobs, and he could not speak, so he could only nod.
After wiping away her tears, Wei Fuxue took a deep breath and followed the palace maid out.
At this time, another palace maid walked in from the side door.
"Princess, the Queen invites you."
Qixia looked up at the palace maid and recognized her as someone close to the queen, so she nodded and followed her in another direction.
Led by the palace maid, Qixia met Jiang Wanyue in a simple Zen room.
Jiang Wanyue was wearing an apricot-yellow long skirt and not much jewelry, except for a ruby phoenix hairpin on her head.
But the moment she turned around and looked at Qixia, even though she was smiling, her aura was so strong that Qixia subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
"My daughter has met the Queen."
Qixia folded her hands and saluted respectfully.
Jiang Wanyue waved her hand and gave some support.
"We are all family, no need to be polite, just sit down!"
Jiang Wanyue sat down first, asked the palace maid to serve tea, and then praised Qixia.
"You did a good job today. You got a lot of useful information out of Ling Lan. The emperor also knows about it and praised you for your courage and wisdom! He also said that although you made some mistakes in the past, you are the daughter of the Li family after all, and you know right from wrong."
Jiang Wanyue's words made Qixia's expression relax.
"Thank you, Madam, for speaking for my mother and me in front of the Emperor."
Qixia knew very well that if the Queen had not mentioned it, the Emperor would never have thought of letting her mother come along.
Jiang Wanyue smiled, took the teacup from the palace maid, and took a sip.
"Although you and your mother cannot officially recognize each other now, I can empathize with the mother-daughter relationship. I will let you meet more often when there is a chance in the future. I will gradually transfer the old people in the palace who have met your mother. In a few years, no one in the palace will remember the former Princess Qi. Then you can find a reason to let her recognize you as her goddaughter, and it will be easier for you to meet."
Jiang Wanyue had already considered these.
Qixia was so moved that she knelt down immediately.
"Thank you, Madam. If you have any instructions in the future, Qixia will do her best to fulfill them."
She was truly touched.
She knew very well that what the Queen wanted her to do was not something she had to do, but an opportunity given to her by the Queen.
Although she didn't quite understand why the queen came to her, for her now, being able to be of some use was better than being left here to fend for herself like before.
All the things she was proud of before, her appearance, talent, status... after losing her protection, were worthless.
Did Qixia ever regret it?
She regretted it.
She regretted not being patient in Prince Ding's Mansion, and she also regretted using maids and palace maids to sow discord between Li Chengyin and Zhu.
Fortunately, it's not too late now.
Qixia raised her head slightly, with a gleam in her eyes.
