Granny Gui said, “Miss Qingluan has the True Phoenix Blood. If His Royal Highness marries her, their children will have both bloodlines. Your Majesty, aren’t you searching for a wife for His Royal Highness? Maybe Miss Qingluan can be a candidate.”
The empress dowager frowned. She only gestured at the servants to bring Empress Dugu and the others in.
Empress Dugu was chuckling when she walked in.
The empress dowager frowned because she didn’t like Empress Dugu.
She wanted to protect Jun Linyuan, but Empress Dugu had never been friendly toward him, so the empress dowager had never liked her daughter-in-law.
Empress Dugu knew that as well, but her family was here, so she had to pretend that she and the empress dowager were very close. Otherwise, it would be so humiliating.
Your Majesty, how was your day?” Empress Dugu greeted her mother-in-law.
The empress dowager glanced at Empress Dugu but soon looked past her.
She was looking at the people behind Empress Dugu — Mrs. Zuo and Zuo Qingluan.
The empress dowager had expected Zuo Qingluan to be as arrogant as she used to be, but she was wrong.
When she looked at Zuo Qingluan, the girl was smiling
A smile? The empress dowager couldn’t believe her eyes.
She looked again.
Zuo Qingluan was smiling sweetly at her.
The empress dowager’s heart almost skipped a beat.
The arrogant girl from five years ago was fawning on the empress dowager. What a bright smile.
The empress dowager hadn’t liked the idea of marrying Zuo Qingluan to Jun Linyuan at first since the boy was already very cold. If his wife was equally cold, what would their life be like?
The empress dowager was looking for a considerate girl with a warm smile.
Right now, Miss Zuo looked like a suitable candidate.
“Are you Zuo Qingluan?” The empress dowager was a little intrigued.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Zuo Qingluan slowly walked up to the empress dowager and bowed.
How graceful.
The empress dowager and Granny Gui exchanged looks, and both were pleasantly surprised.
Her movements were so accurate it was like they had been measured with a ruler.
The girl looked like she was born to live in the palace.
“Your Majesty, here’s some Snowy Cream my master made for you.”
Firmament Palace was good at making both medicines and poisons.
Zuo Qingluan knew that all women loved things that made them more beautiful.
Although the empress dowager was an elderly woman, she still spent hours on skincare every day. Zuo Qingluan had chosen the perfect gift for her.
The empress dowager was surprised to see the gift. “Snowy Cream? I use it all the time, but this one smells fresher.”
Zuo Qingluan nodded. “The Snowy Cream sold in Firmament Pavilion has a similar formula, but the ones sold elsewhere are made by ordinary people, so they are not as effective.”
