Empress Dowager, Xiaoxiao was moved to tears… Mu Xiaoxiao had originally disliked her, but now she treated her so well. Xiaoxiao swore she wouldn’t dislike her anymore and would treat her even better than she would treat Long Yutian!
“Thank you, Empress Dowager Grandma, you’re too good to me! I like you!” Mu Xiaoxiao’s blurted words caused another round of gasps!
“Empress Dowager Grandma?” The Empress Dowager was stunned, taking a while to recover: “You’re calling me Empress Dowager Grandma?”
Uh? Did I just say that? Xiaoxiao was dazed for a moment, then thought, oh my goodness! Time to smooth things over with my silver tongue!
“Grandma, Empress Dowager Grandma, I think that everyone calls you Empress Dowager, which sounds so old! Look how young you are, you look like you’re only in your twenties. We can’t keep calling you Empress Dowager, like you’re some old lady, right? Empress Dowager Grandma!”
Chen Huanghou suddenly stood up, shrieking: “How dare you! How can you be so impudent in front of the Empress Dowager! Guards! Slap her!”
Damn, is corporal punishment the only punishment in the inner court? Mu Xiaoxiao really wanted to teach her that this move was worn out in historical dramas – you need to come up with something new! Even if you can’t avoid hitting someone, at least do it with some creativity and skill! Alas, poor ancients, they don’t even have as many ways of hitting people as modern people!
The Empress Dowager’s face first stiffened, but after hearing the arrogant empress’s words, she quickly came to her senses and scolded the menacing guards: “Get out! No outsiders are allowed to enter during a family banquet!”
The arrogant empress stomped her foot and whined: “Empress Dowager… Don’t you love Ajiao anymore?”
“Ajiao! Xiaoxiao said she wanted to call me something younger, and I quite like this address!”
“Oh yes!” Her heart finally completely relaxed, and she bounced like a sparrow.
The Empress Dowager laughed looking at Xiaoxiao, who seized the opportunity to say nice things: “Empress Dowager Grandma, look how beautiful you are when you laugh. People should laugh more – a laugh makes you ten years younger. If we laugh more, isn’t that great? No medicine, no injections, and we’ll live longer! Take good care of yourself, and we’ll become immortals!”
