“Is that so?” The Empress Dowager smiled and tucked her stray hair behind her ear. Her smile couldn’t be concealed, and her eyes were filled with joy. “I am happy. You know that I have wanted to see those two children for a long time.”
In the Imperial Palace, besides the Empress Dowager, only Nanny Jin knew the ident.i.ties of Su Ye and Su Qingqing. The two children were the Ninth Prince’s offspring. The Empress Dowager favored the Ninth Prince, so she naturally loved and cherished the two children.
On the other side, the Empress Dowager had yet to see the great-grandchildren that she had been longing for. She saw Princess Xuehua striding over and standing in front of the Empress Dowager. She bowed weakly and called out in a wronged tone, “Mother…”
The moment she saw Princess Xuehua, the Empress Dowager frowned subconsciously.” Why are you here?”
The Empress Dowager’s tone sounded cold, with a hint of disdain.
Princess Xuehua sniffled pitifully, and tears swirled in her eyes. It took a considerable effort to prevent the tears from flowing out. “Mother, I know you are angry, so I didn’t dare to disturb you. But, but I really missed you. Today, I came to apologize to Mother. I hope Mother can forgive my impudence. That night, I was only worried about Mother’s health, so I stopped Miss Su…”
“The person you should apologize to isn’t me, but that child Qianqian.” The Empress Dowager wasn’t a cold-hearted person. When she saw the child she had raised from a young age standing in front of her and apologizing so pitifully, the anger in her heart instantly dissipated. She cleared her throat and said, “Alright, alright, don’t act so pitiful. Qianqian and the others are coming over soon, so you just stand beside me. When the time comes, perform well, and don’t lose your manners again.”
When Princess Xuehua heard this, she couldn’t help but curl her lips into a brilliant smile. Then, she hurriedly curtsied. “Yes, Mother, don’t worry. I will definitely not disappoint Mother.”
Seeing that Princess Xuehua stood beside her after saying this, the Empress Dowager also felt helpless. In the end, she sighed heavily and let Princess Xuehua do as she pleased.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan arrived with Su Qian and the two children.
From afar, the Empress Dowager saw the family of four and felt that Xiao Yan and Su Qian were a perfect match. They even brought two mini versions of them with them as they strode over. They looked as beautiful as they could be. The man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, and even the two children were so adorable. The Empress Dowager’s heart almost melted when she saw them.
Xiao Yan was dressed in a dark red robe. Seeing the Empress Dowager standing outside the door, he couldn’t help but smile helplessly. “Imperial grandmother, I clearly sent someone into the palace and told you to wait in the hall. Why did you still come out?”
The Empress Dowager was grinning from ear to ear as she said excitedly, “Oh, look at you, child. Why are you so calculative? Wasn’t it the same whether I waited inside or outside? I just wanted to see Qianqian and the two children as soon as possible.”
“I pay respects to the Empress Dowager.” Su Qian smiled and bowed before handing over the brocade box in her hand. “I suddenly barged into the palace that night and disturbed the Empress Dowager’s rest. Today, I came to thank the Empress Dowager. This is a gift that I have chosen for you. I hope the Empress Dowager will like it..”
