C62 Zion's Palace

"This subject's daughter pays her respects to Her Majesty and Empress." Su Mingyue knew the two people at the top. One was the current emperor's mother, Empress Dowager, and the other was Prince Yuan Ming's mother, the Yu family. They could be considered the most respected daughter-in-law in the world.

"Get up and let me see." Empress Dowager smiled as she spoke. She had always liked these children the most.

"Empress Dowager Xie." Su Mingyue bowed politely and stood up.

The empress dowager was already over fifty years old, but her maintenance was still pretty good. It could be seen that when she was young, she must have been a big beauty, Emperor Qian was very early, and was extremely filial to his mother. The empress dowager was not a greedy person, so she let the empress take charge of the harem.

As Yuan Ao's direct wife in her previous life, Su Mingyue had naturally followed Yuan Ao to meet this imperial grandmother of hers. No matter how Yuan Ao and his brothers fought openly and secretly outside, in the Ci'ann Palace, they would definitely be fatherly and filial.

When Su Mingyue was killed by Yuan Ao, Empress Dowager was still alive. But at that time, Su Mingyue felt that she did not have the face to see Empress Dowager again, so although all sorts of good things were still being delivered to Ci'ann Palace, she had never stepped into the Ci'ann Palace again.

Empress Dowager probably did not want to see Yuan Ao and her, these two unworthy descendants. Empress Dowager loved to be busy the most, and she lived alone in Ci'ann Palace, so how lonely must she be?

"Come closer and let This Dowager have a good look at you." Su Mingyue bowed politely and looked pretty. Empress Dowager liked these good-looking young girls, so she liked Su Mingyue the moment she saw her.

Su Mingyue was still wondering if she should get closer to Empress Dowager, but the palace maid had already pushed her in front of Empress Dowager.

"This child is so good-looking." Empress Dowager held Su Mingyue's hand and said with a smile.

"Her Majesty is too kind." Su Mingyue remembered that the first time she and Yuan Ao went to see Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager also crossed her path. At that time, Empress Dowager probably really liked her as a granddaughter-in-law.

"What false praise? When This Dowager says you look good, you look good." However, Empress Dowager was still unwilling. Su Mingyue was indeed the most iconic girl she had ever met.

"Yes." Su Mingyue knew Empress Dowager's character, so she could only agree.

"Empress, come take a look. How does Mingyue look like compared to her mother?" Empress Dowager asked with a smile.

"Miss Su is pretty. She's not any less beautiful than the Marquis' Madam in the past." In the past, the Marquis' Madam was a great beauty with a good background and talents that many people wanted to marry. In the end, it was Su Xiao who picked this flower and brought it home.

"In my opinion, you're even more beautiful than your mother." Empress Dowager held onto Su Mingyue's hand, unwilling to let go.

"Mother is right, I think Miss Su is going to beat all the princesses in our palace." Since His Majesty trusted the Marquis of Jing'an, the Empress naturally wanted to befriend Su Mingyue. Besides, she could also win Empress Dowager's favor, so why not?

"Such a good lady is staying well in the capital. I didn't expect her to meet with such an unexpected calamity." Empress Dowager's heart ached when she thought about how such a symbol of a girl almost died at the hands of an assassin.

"Empress Dowager need not worry, those people must have come to find this official's daughter due to Father's ability." Even after all these years, Su Mingyue still remembered how to make Empress Dowager happy, so she couldn't help but make witty remarks.

Empress Dowager originally thought that Su Mingyue was the type of girl who was delicate and weak. Upon hearing Su Mingyue's words, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "This is for your father. Don't worry, I will remind His Majesty that I won't forget your father's reward."

Su Mingyue's words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere in the Ci'ann Palace also became better.

Su Mingyue herself was also a little surprised, she did not expect that after so many years, she still remembered these words to please Empress Dowager, but since it had already been revealed, then Su Mingyue did not care about it anymore. She would say a few witty words from time to time, but it did not lose the graceful bearing of a lady.
