At this moment, a girl with a beautiful figure and a graceful figure, whose every movement revealed the beauty of a noble family, walked out from the crowd.

"Empress Dowager, just like these days when you were at home bathing in incense and personally wrote a copy of the 'Peace Sutra' for you."

"Oh?" The empress dowager's eyes were filled with smiles.

"Oh?" Xiao Lan lowered her gaze. It was too similar. It was practically a replica, and she finally knew the "Oh?" that man was used to. Where did the inheritance come from?

"You must be the Qin girl from the Duke of the Kingdom Protector's family."

"Yes, yes, yes." Hearing that the empress dowager remembered who she was, the woman who had called herself Wanru bloomed into a smile.

"Come, come, come to This Dowager's place," the empress dowager beckoned for Qin Wanru.

Qin Ruo's smile blossomed as she walked to the empress dowager's side.

The empress dowager held Qin Wanru's slender hand in a kind one. "What a good child."

"Empress Dowager, this is a copy of the 'Sutra of Blessing' that this subject's wife copied for you," a dignified woman walked out.

"Oh, good, good. You are the wife of the Minister of Government."

"Yes, yes."

"The Minister of Government is a meritorious general of our East Han Dynasty."

"The empress dowager is too kind," the woman smiled humbly.

"Empress Dowager, this is a copy of the 'Sutra of the Transcendence' that this subject's daughter copied for you."

"Alright …"

"Empress Dowager, this is the copy of 'Chenghua Sutra' that this subject's daughter copied for you."

"Right."

"..."

"..."

One scripture after another was sent up. Xiao Lan watched as the table in front of the empress dowager was covered in scriptures and the thickness of the scriptures increased. Her eyes couldn't help but widen.

He silently asked in his heart, "Is this handing in my homework?" Eh? One after another, they were simply endless.

The crowd continued.

"Empress Dowager, this is the 'Mo Chen Sutra'."

"Empress Dowager, this is the 'Yanzhi Sutra'."

"…"

Amidst everyone's fiery tribute, Xiao Lan quickly swept his gaze behind him. From the looks of it, it seemed like everyone had offered up their sutras. Wait, that's not right …

She didn't offer anything, and there was also the girl who was standing by her side at some point.

As time slowly passed, everyone was nearing the end.

Xiao Lan shot an indifferent glance at Cong Menghan. In her heart, she really hoped that the eldest young mistress would stay behind and accompany her.

However, at this time, he saw that she was respectfully taking out a scripture from her sleeve. Thick characters were the best among all the scriptures.

Xiao Lan instantly growled in her heart.

"Empress Dowager, this is the book Meng Han personally copied for you."

The empress dowager's eyes quickly lit up when she heard this.

"Consort Xian copied the 'Scripture' for This Dowager?"

"Yes."

"Quick, bring it over. Let This Dowager have a look."

It was obvious that the empress dowager was most interested in the scripture that was in the hands of the empress dowager. The empress dowager walked towards her with a happy expression on her face.

At this moment, Xiao Lan's heart had already become completely depressed.

Xuanyuan, ah, Xuanyuan, why didn't he tell her in advance that he still wanted to hand in his "homework." Now that he was done with it, she was the only one with nothing to show for it.

Xiao Lan's heart sank. She had said that she would leave a good impression on the empress dowager, but what was she supposed to do now?

With a heavy body, Xiao Lan lightly tapped his fingers on his sleeve as he tried to think of a good solution to the predicament before him.

But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a solution. After all, she couldn't come up with a scripture book out of thin air.

A moment later, Xiao Lan lightly tapped her finger. Forget it. There will always be a way to deal with this situation.

Right now, the empress dowager's face was brimming with joy and relief as she flipped through the book. She had no time to pay attention to the one person who had not contributed a single scripture.

"Consort Xian, you're quite considerate."

The empress dowager was not stingy in praising her.

"Empress Dowager, as long as you're happy, anything Meng Han does is worth it."

Hearing this, the empress dowager smiled even more happily.

Right at this moment, Cangmeng Han suddenly turned her gaze towards Xiao Lan.

Casting a glance at her, Xiao Lan instantly sighed in his heart. It's over, it's beginning. This woman had started to display her earlier grievances.

As expected, her voice was soft as she spoke to the empress dowager.

"Empress Dowager, you see that the regent's consort has yet to take out her scripture. It seems that she wants to give you a greater surprise."

As soon as these words were out, everyone looked at Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves. What was supposed to happen had indeed come. It was just that someone had dug a deep pit for her before she came!

Surprise? Woof, woof, woof, woof.

The empress dowager put down the 'Classic of Prosperity' in her hands and suddenly shot a sharp gaze filled with kindness at Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan's fingers tightened. The empress dowager had originally seen her first, but from start to finish, she acted as if she didn't see her. It was obvious that she was trying to dry her up, and it seemed that she was about to make things difficult for her.

Under the gazes of the crowd, Xiao Lan slowly raised her gaze. Her clear eyes were neither servile nor overbearing, neither hasty nor arrogant. Instead, she looked at the empress dowager who sat on a high seat in the hall with a very appropriate manner.

As for the empress dowager, when Lady Meng saw Xiao Lan's gaze, her entire person shook!

She, this girl …

Her gaze reminded her of someone.

A person who had already died many years ago, yet was still shocking to everyone.

The originally hustling and bustling courtyard was now completely silent.

Xiao Lan held her breath, thinking that she couldn't always look the empress dowager in the eye. She took a step forward and prepared to bow first.

Because of the silence, Xiao Lan's footsteps sounded extremely clear.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Turning around, Xiao Lan stood in front of the empress dowager, raised her arms, bent over, and knelt down as she greeted the empress dowager.

"My daughter, Wei Lanyi, the wife of Xuanyuan, the Regent's Consort, greets the Grandmother Empress Dowager. I wish Grandmother Fu Lu eternal residence and eternal life."

The first step Xuanyuan Feng took into the backyard, he had clearly heard the words' Xuanyuan Yun's wife 'and' Regent's wife '.

He didn't know why these nine words made him unable to take a step forward.

Through the crowd, Xuanyuan Yun concentrated on Xiao Lan who was kneeling in front of the empress dowager.

Her great etiquette was a standard that was better than anyone else's. It turned out that it wasn't that she didn't know the rules, didn't know how to bow, and didn't know how to kneel. Rather, it was that she was unwilling to accept it.

At this moment, everyone was also shocked on the spot. They had seen the silly and impudent appearance of "You Lanyi", the appearance of "You Ran" and "You Ye" without a care in the world, but they had never seen her salacious, courteous, and obedient appearance. They had originally thought that she wouldn't know how to do this, but it turned out that she also knew how to do this.

Wei Lanyi, ah, she's really shocked them to death.

After Xiao Lan knelt down, the empress dowager's eyes went completely wide open, and her breathing became extremely chaotic.

Like … It was so much like that woman.

They all had the same look in their eyes, the same aura, the same wisdom and fearless souls.

Wasn't she dead?

Did she come back!?

"You …" the empress dowager stood up abruptly.

Only then did the crowd realize that the empress dowager was strange. The usually gentle empress dowager seemed to be looking at them with eyes that surged with shock.
