"Show me your face."

The old empress dowager thought of that dream. The immortal in that dream had once said that she would meet someone rich enough to protect her from calamity.

"Ah!

The old empress dowager dragged her to the front of the court.

The old empress dowager took a closer look, but couldn't make it out. There was dirt, dirt, and oil stains on her face, so the old empress dowager couldn't tell if she was dreaming or not.

"Let's go wash our faces."

After walking a few steps, the two of them arrived at a small stream. The old empress dowager even dragged Xi'er with her as she washed her face in water. There were indeed ten little black spots on her face, no more or less one on five, exactly as the Daoist Immortals had said in their dreams.

"What's your name?"

When the old empress dowager found the lucky star, she too was beaming.

"I don't know my name either. Everyone calls me Xi'er."

Xi'er blinked her sparkling eyes. Her pair of watery eyes were very pleasing to the eyes.

"Are you willing to acknowledge me as your mother?"

The old empress dowager remembered very clearly that the immortal in her dreams had said that if she met someone rich, she had to take care of him by her side. The old empress dowager only had one son and he died a long time ago.

"Mother, is it delicious?"

She was a little hungry, and she didn't know if this mother of hers was good to eat.

Her eyes were watery, as if she had really seen some delicious food.

"A mother isn't something to eat. If you call me a mother in the future, I'll take you home with me. There's a lot of delicious food at home, and even if you change to eat every day, you'll never be able to finish it."

The old empress dowager could tell that this little girl was very gluttonous.

I'm not afraid of you being greedy, but I'm afraid of you not being greedy.

If one were to talk about the variety of food in the palace, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there were many varieties of food.

"Mother!" Mother! I'm hungry now. When will we get home? "

As long as there was food, it was fine. If there was food, everything would be fine.

As long as there was food, nothing else mattered. As long as it was delicious, it would always attract her attention.

"We're still a distance away from home. I'm afraid we'll need to walk for a few days, but it'll be fine once we get home. Everything will be fine."

The old empress dowager looked at herself. Luckily, there was still some jewelry on her body. If she sold it, she'd have more than enough to pay for the trip.
