Chapter 2491 Empress Dowager
Zuo Qingluan insisted that Jun Linyuan had made the promise first, and she was only asking him to keep his promise.
She sat down and started thinking.
It would be very difficult to try and change Jun Linyuan’s mind.
Zuo Qingluan then thought about Feng Xun, and wondered if she could work on him.
She had thought about it before. She would befriend Feng Xun and ask him to support her. That way, she would make a good impression on the crown prince…
It was a good idea, but she couldn’t use it.
Because Feng Wu had beaten her to it.
Zuo Qingluan gritted her teeth. “Feng Wu, you keep saying that you’re not in love with His Royal Highness, but you made friends with Feng Xun first and used him to get to His Royal Highness. How cunning!”
Since His Royal Highness’s friend wouldn’t work, she had to work on his family instead.
Bao Er… Zuo Qingluan shook her head. She wasn’t capable enough at the moment to treat Bao Er.
His Royal Highness’s mother had pa.s.sed away, and he didn’t see eye to eye with His Majesty. That left her with only one candidate.
The empress dowager. The old lady doted on the crown prince, and she was the only person whom Jun Linyuan was patient with.
Zuo Qingluan concluded that Jun Linyuan would definitely listen to the empress dowager. As long as she agreed… Zuo Qingluan smiled a little.
It seemed that she was going to visit the royal palace.
She never did things that she wasn’t confident about. To win over the empress dowager, she made a lot of preparations in advance.
She needed to figure out what the old lady liked and disliked.
The Zuo family would help her with that.
Mrs. Zuo’s eyes lit up when she heard the plan.
Finally, her daughter was going to do something.
She had been so proud, but now, she was asking about the empress dowager’s preferences.
What Mrs. Zuo didn’t know was that this was all part of Zuo Qingluan’s plan. She would never willingly fawn over any person.
Zuo Qingluan had no real respect for the empress dowager.
But her hands were tied, and she had to do things she hated.
For other people, it would be very difficult to meet the empress dowager.
But the Zuo family could visit the empress dowager almost whenever they wanted.
Mrs. Zuo took Zuo Qingluan to Empress Dugu’s palace first.
Empress Dugu was pleased when Zuo Qingluan, the sacred lady of Firmament Palace, came to pay her respects to her. Zuo Qingluan was also her niece. Empress Dugu then took Zuo Qingluan to see the empress dowager. Cining Palace.
“The sacred lady?”
The empress dowager frowned a little.
She remembered Zuo Qingluan. The girl had been very proud since she was little. She behaved more like a princess than Jun Wuxia.
The empress dowager didn’t like girls who were too proud, so she didn’t think much of Zuo Qingluan.
Two elderly maids served the empress dowager.
One was Granny Lan. She was mild-tempered and rather liked Feng Wu.
The other one was Granny Gui, who got along well with Empress Dugu.
