While Jun Lan was changing clothes, Chen Dongyue specifically gave a few instructions to the Empress Dowager.

She told the Empress Dowager that she and Song Ke were both worried that Jun Lan would become bitter and resentful after knowing her life experience.

Therefore, Jun Lan was not told about the fact that the entire family of General Lin was massacred because of the emperor's suspicion.

The child now only vaguely knows that he is a relative of Ji Chongning and that he is a little elder.

As for the rest...it will probably take her a while to figure it out.

Chen Dongyue hoped that when the Empress Dowager talked to Jun Lan later, she would not describe her life experience in too much detail.

So as not to cause psychological trauma to children.

The Empress Dowager replied disdainfully: "Do you think I have nothing better to do than to meddle in other people's family affairs?

The Lin family's affairs have nothing to do with me, so what is there to say?"

Why does this little old lady have such a bad temper?

If Chen Dongyue wasn't afraid of having his entire family executed, he would have retorted a few words back.

But now that she said so, she probably won't say any more.

Forget it, Chen Dongyue felt that she was a good-tempered person after all, so she would not bother with this older man.

Finally, she emphasized in her heart that this was really just a good temper, not a coward.

............

A moment later, Jun Lan, who had changed his clothes, was brought back by Min Shang Gong.

Because there was no girl of Jun Lan's age in Prince Kang's Mansion, the clothes she changed into were the new autumn clothes made for the little maids in the palace.

Not to mention, the clothes of the maid in the palace are indeed much better looking than the cotton clothes that Jun Lan is used to wearing on a daily basis.

As for clothing, it’s not that Chen Dongyue doesn’t want to buy something nice for her children.

But Jun Lan’s brocade clothes would be worn out in less than half a day.

But brocade fabric is very expensive, so even if it is worn out, Song Haopo is reluctant to throw it away.

This resulted in a piece of brocade clothing being patched with eighteen patches by Song Haopo, so Chen Dongyue thought it would be better to let the child wear cotton clothes.

At the very least, the cloth shirt would not rot in half a day. The key point is that even if it was worn out, Song Haopo would not be reluctant to throw it away even after patching it up eighteen times.

But Jun Lan, wearing the brocade jacket, felt a little awkward and his whole body was moving around.

The Empress Dowager frowned and looked at it for a long time, then blurted out, "Why, does this dress have barbs that will prick people?"

"To answer the old...Grand Empress Dowager's question," Jun Lan had just been taught a lesson by Min Shang Gong. No matter what her generation was, when paying respects to the Grand Empress Dowager, she didn't need to follow the order of seniority. She could just call her Grand Empress Dowager. "This dress is so slippery. It feels like it was licked by a dog when I put it on."

........

The Empress Dowager turned her head silently, reminding herself not to laugh.

"Don't talk nonsense," Chen Dongyue quickly pulled Jun Lan, who was twisting and turning, and whispered to her, "Stand still, I'll go back and buy you some ice cream later."

"It's curfew, why are you still buying ice cream?" Jun Lan muttered.

But even though he grumbled, he really stopped moving.

The Queen Mother glanced at Lady Min.

Lady Sang-Gong Min…didn’t move.

The Queen Mother was a little dissatisfied, thinking that Min Shanggong did not receive her signal, so she looked at Min Shanggong again.

Helpless, Min Shanggong could only lean over to the Empress Dowager's ear and whisper, "Grand Empress Dowager, we left in a hurry and didn't bring the cook who made the snacks with us."

.......Tsk, there is always a loophole.

Oops.

In this hot summer, I can’t even eat ice cream.

The Empress Dowager's mood suddenly became bad.

She said with a gloomy face, "Lin Junlan, take a look at this thing, do you recognize it?"

After saying this, the Empress Dowager took out an ink-colored jade tablet from a brocade box beside her.

Min Shanggong was visibly stunned.

Weren’t we talking about ice cream earlier?

Why are you talking about the jade pendant again now? !

The Empress Dowager: I always try to catch people by surprise.

Jun Lan looked at the Grand Empress Dowager carefully for a long time, and then said seriously: "Replying to the Grand Empress Dowager, it's too far away and I can't see clearly."

“........” The Empress Dowager had never been so speechless in her life.

If you can't see clearly, why are you still looking at it for so long? !

However, the Empress Dowager was afraid that she would scare the child again, so she could only be more patient than usual and said, "Then come up and take a closer look."

Jun Lan turned her head and glanced at Chen Dongyue. Seeing Chen Dongyue nodding at her, she said "Okay", lifted her skirt, and moved closer to the Empress Dowager.

After a long look, Jun Lan said, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, this thing... I have never seen it before."

"how......."

Before the Empress Dowager finished her words, Jun Lan continued, "But I have a piece of white jade that looks very similar to this."

After saying that, she took out a piece of white jade from her neck.

"that is......."

Or the Empress Dowager.

Still the sentence was not finished.

Jun Lan interrupted her again, "I used to find it strange that this white jade peace card looks like a ladle. It turns out... it's missing half of it."

The Empress Dowager opened her mouth.

But there was no sound.

After a moment, she asked Jun Lan, "Are you done?"

"Yes." Jun Lan nodded, "Reply..."

"Okay, then I'll tell you." The Empress Dowager also interrupted Jun Lan, then cleared her throat and said, "This ladle, no, ahem, what...what was I going to say?!"

The Queen Mother looked at Lady Min.

Min Shang Gong bowed her head and said, "Replying to the Queen Mother, now let's talk about the jade pendant."

Hey.

The Empress Dowager is getting old, and her memory is getting worse day by day.

"Oh, yes," the Empress Dowager pointed at Jun Lan and said, "Put your half of the jade pendant together with this half and try it."

Jun Lan quickly took off the "gourd" from his neck, then turned around and looked at Chen Dongyue.

After seeing Chen Dongyue nod, Jun Lan handed the jade pendant in his hand to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager murmured softly, "Can I still steal your gourd~~~"

After saying that, she gave both jade pendants to Min Shanggong and said, "Put them together and take a look."

He picked up the bowl of rock sugar lotus seed and bird's nest soup at hand and started eating.

After receiving the jade pendant, Min Shanggong followed the Empress Dowager's instructions and put the two jade pendants together.

Chen Dongyue quickly stretched his neck and looked forward.

In her imagination, when the two jade pendants were put together, they should be like Ultraman's transformation device, emitting shining golden light.

pity.

There was no Ultraman in the Daiei Dynasty.

After the two jade pendants were put together, they turned from two "scoops" one black and one white into a... Yin-Yang Meteor Hammer.

Chen Dongyue raised her eyebrows.

This thing doesn't look like a key to a treasure house, nor does it look like a military talisman.

So what are you here for?

She doesn't understand.

But he didn't ask.

After all...Jun Lan had spoken before her.

"Grand Empress Dowager, what is this?!" Jun Lan frowned and looked at the old lady.

The little old lady asked Jun Lan, "Don't you know?!"

“.......I don’t know.” Jun Lan opened his eyes wide in confusion.

The Empress Dowager did not raise her head. She drank a mouthful of lotus seed and bird's nest soup and said, "Hiss... I can't remember it all of a sudden."

..........

Destroy it, I don’t want to live anymore.

Chen Dongyue said silently in his heart.
