After this commotion, everyone felt bored. Chen Meng Jiao withdrew all her thorns, head lowered, shoulders trembling as if crying. The Flower Clothing person looked up at the sky, as always, ethereal and detached, with a proud and elegant attitude. Long Yu Tian stared at the Empress Dowager, trying to catch a hint of her hidden meaning. And the Empress Dowager - what made Mu Xiao Xiao strange was that she was looking at Xiao Hua Hua! Even stranger was her gaze, just like how a lovesick girl looks at a handsome guy...
Alas, our Xiao Hua Hua has reached the point of charming all ages. Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh...
"Flower Clothing person, your voice is not well, so don't be too busy. Rest for a while and recover your health. Usually, spend more time with your sister, as you've been separated for many years and must have much to reminisce about. Oh, I've prepared a wishful golden ball to bestow upon you to celebrate your reunion."
A servant had already gone to fetch it, bowing low and presenting it to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager didn't even look at the eunuch, simply taking the wishful golden ball and handing it to the Flower Clothing person.
The Flower Clothing person knelt down to thank her and receive the gift. But the Empress Dowager reached out to help him up, saying, "No need for formalities."
Sweat, even a fool could now see something was off...
At this moment, Xiao Xiao had one puzzle after another in her mind: Why was the Empress Dowager so good to her? Probably not because she liked her - she had initially wanted to kill her! Was it because of her Xiao Hua Hua? Why was the Empress Dowager so good to her Xiao Hua Hua? Because he plays the qin well? Because he sings well? Because he looks good? Sweat, she's already an old lady! No way, she's not actually setting her sights on her Xiao Hua Hua, is she?
She scanned the Flower Clothing person with detective-like eyes. He saw this but paid no attention, simply smiling.
"Emperor, you also bear some responsibility for today's events! The imperial grace should spread throughout the harem. This is not just your matter, but more importantly, it concerns the imperial lineage and the great Han dynasty. Xiao Xiao has been Mu Furen for only a few days, yet so much has happened. You cannot escape blame."
A wise person! With just a few words, she made my Xiao Che kneel. Mu Xiao Xiao secretly admired this.
"Grandson knows he was wrong!"
"Good. Knowing and correcting one's mistakes is the greatest virtue! Tian'er, send Meng Jiao back to the palace."
