Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Chapter 2 Opportunities are reserved for those who are willing to take risks

After a while, Ling Qiqi was carried to a wealthy old lady.

The old woman had a kind face, but she also exuded a natural solemnity and majesty.

Although her hair is white, the pearl hairpin on her head adds some color. Although her face is inevitably left with the wrinkles of time, they are only light, and I guess she takes good care of herself. These traces of vicissitudes are not ugly, but make people trust and feel close to her.

Ling Qiqi couldn't help but think:

Some people are elegant from head to toe, but true elegance is from inside to outside. But this person, whether from head to toe or inside to outside, can be seen at a glance that she is a great figure like the Empress Dowager. This time, he was lucky, and a big one.

The big shot leaned forward slightly to look at Ling Qiqi and asked slowly:

"Is it male or female?"

Damn, this again.

Ling Qiqi's heart instantly rose to her throat.

The woman holding her replied nervously:

"To the Empress Dowager, it's the princess."

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Qiqi felt that it was long enough for her to be reborn again, the Empress Dowager finally said in a tired voice:

"He was crying so loudly just now, I thought he was a prince. Oh~, it's another princess, oh~."

Every sigh from the Empress Dowager was like gently stabbing a blunt knife into Ling Qiqi's little heart.

As the saying goes, opportunities come to those who are prepared.

Ling Qiqi felt that the old saying was wrong, opportunities are reserved for those who are willing to take risks.

She has already lost the support of her father the Emperor, and if she can't hold on to the support of the Empress Dowager, then she will really have to return to the cold palace and starve to death with her mother.

Ling Qiqi hasn't grown teeth yet, so she bit her gums. If not now to act cute, when?

Ling Qiqi stretched out her small, chubby hands towards the Grand Empress Dowager, blinked her big, tearful eyes hard, and tried to put on a toothless smile that she thought could be so charming that it could kill people.

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, and was infected by Ling Qiqi's smile. She also laughed and said as if talking to herself:

"The little guy is quite likable. Children are clean and innocent, unlike the people in this palace. They may not really laugh when they laugh, and they may not really cry when they cry. They are all cunning. They are obedient and polite in front of me, but they dare to use any insidious means to harm others behind my back."

As he said that, he reached out to hold Ling Qiqi's hand.

Ling Qiqi hurriedly used all her strength and, with the most pious heart, grasped the extremely noble finger of the Empress Dowager.

This is not an ordinary finger. It is Ling Qiqi's last straw and she cannot let go.

The Empress Dowager smiled even more happily when she saw this.

"This little guy doesn't like an old woman like me, does he?"

The maid who had just led the way said happily:

"Grand Empress Dowager, you are not old at all. The little princess cried so hard before that you were startled even though you were so far away. You have never cared about the affairs of the palace, but you suddenly asked me to bring her here for you to see. The little princess was born and didn't know anything, but she stopped crying as soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, as if she was afraid of disturbing your peace. I thought it was strange at the time. Now the little princess smiles at you and holds your hand tightly when she sees you. How great is her fate with you?"

Ling Qiqi listened and was deeply moved. Where did this amazing teammate come from? He is so eloquent, what a talent.

Before Ling Qiqi could think any more, the woman who had been holding her bowed and agreed:

"I dare to say that there is a custom in my hometown that the eyes of a newborn baby are the cleanest. A pair of eyes can tell good from evil, distinguish between noble and humble, distinguish between good and bad, and judge life span. Few babies don't cry, but if a newborn baby smiles at someone, then that person must be a very kind and noble person with great fortune and longevity. For the sake of good luck, they will ask the person to name the baby, implying that good karma will continue and that the descendants will be blessed. I am presumptuous and wonder if the Empress Dowager is willing to give the little princess a name."

"Didn't the Emperor give a name?" asked the Empress Dowager.

The woman knelt down quickly:

"Replying to the Grand Empress Dowager, the Emperor has not yet given the little princess a name. I will soon send the little princess back to the cold palace. Once in the cold palace, I am afraid she will never see the Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager again. I don't know when the little princess will get her name."

Ling Qiqi couldn't help but admire in her heart: They are all talented people, this harem is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

But the Empress Dowager did not say anything. She did not want to give them a name, nor did she ask them to leave. The others also remained silent, and the atmosphere in the room became increasingly depressing.

Ling Qiqi was a little panicked:

No, now that things have come to this, do you, the Empress Dowager, have the nerve to ignore a little cutie like me?

Ling Qiqi felt that she had to carry on with the performance to the end, and also had to try her best to achieve all the "voice, stage, shape and performance".

First, pout the little mouth to look cute and adorable.

At the same time, she blinked her innocent big eyes, and each blink squeezed out a full teardrop, creating a sense of brokenness.

The pair of small hands holding the "life-saving straw" clenched and clenched repeatedly. Although the strength was not great, it effectively conveyed the meaning of being reluctant to part with the Empress Dowager.

The most important thing is to coordinate with soft sobbing, control the rhythm just right, and make it intermittent, highlighting a kind of cautious grievance.

In short, Ling Qiqi used all the organs that could be used. Physical attacks were limited, but magical attacks were unlimited.

But if her free acting skills were used by any adult, the man would be called greasy and the woman would be called a green tea.

Just when Ling Qiqi had run out of ideas and was at her wit's end, the Empress Dowager finally spoke:

"I am already this old, and I don't want to interfere in the affairs of the harem, but now that the child is in my arms, I can't bear to watch her being sent to the cold palace to suffer. Even if her mother is guilty, it shouldn't be implicated on the newborn child. After all, she is the blood of the royal family. How can a princess of a country stay in a cold palace? Not to mention the lack of food, clothing, and medical care, it is also an insult to the state and the royal family. How can a princess who grew up in a cold palace marry a neighboring country in the future? This child and I are destined to be together, so I will just follow this custom and give her a nickname first. She is the emperor's seventh princess, and the seventh is auspicious, so let's call her Qi'er, and Qi also means auspicious. When you go back to the emperor, tell him that the seventh princess and I are destined to be together, and keep her by your side to raise her and accompany me to relieve my boredom. It can be considered that Qi'er is filial to her father."

YES!!! I don’t have to go back to the cold palace anymore.

Ling Qiqi was so happy that her heart was filled with joy and even snot bubbles appeared on her face.

When the Empress Dowager saw that the little girl, who had been sobbing just now, had now burst into laughter, she felt that she was a spiritual person and felt more pity for her.

From now on, how to report to the emperor and how to settle Ling Qiqi will be properly arranged by someone else, and it is not Ling Qiqi's turn to worry about it.

Ling Qiqi lay in the soft and warm little rocking bed that had just been set up, feeling leisurely as the people around her were busy because of her, and she felt a little happy.

She couldn't help but sigh as she recalled what had just happened.

It was really a close call!

She thought of her new name again. Although there was only one character difference between Qiqi and Qi'er, Ling Qiqi just felt it was unpleasant to the ear. "Qi'er" sounded like "abandoned child", which was really appropriate. Wasn't she abandoned by her own father?

Ling Qiqi also thought of the maid who had led the way and the woman who had held her. These two people had played an indispensable role in her being able to stay by the side of the Grand Empress Dowager. If it weren't for their help, she would have cried her heart out and it would have been useless.

But why did these two people help her? It couldn't be because she was innocent, right?

She was born (came here) only one day ago, and she has no gratitude or grudges against anyone, and she has nothing to repay anyone.

Now the Empress Dowager has ordered them to take care of her. With them around, Ling Qiqi feels at ease. After all, if someone wants to harm her, there is no need to go to the trouble of helping her.

Anyway, Ling Qiqi had plenty of time to find out their background and purpose, so she was not in a hurry. But her intuition told her that it was probably because of her mother who was banished to the cold palace.

When she thought of that woman, Ling Qiqi couldn't help feeling guilty. She was such an unfilial daughter, who only cared about protecting herself, but left her mother alone to suffer in the cold palace.

But she was also powerless. In such a barren place like the cold palace, whoever could escape first would be the best.
