Mu Qian Xue placed her hands on her waist, then knelt down: "Greetings, Aunt."

"Princess is too polite." After returning the greeting, the palace maid smiled and said: "I have long heard that Princess's beauty is like a descending immortal. It is truly my fortune to be able to meet you today."

"Aunty, you praise me so highly. Qianxue doesn't dare to accept it. May I know how should I address you?"

"Servant Yin Qiu, Princess is blessed." After bowing once again, Yin Qiu said, "The empress dowager is waiting inside. Prince and Princess, please enter quickly."

Yin Qiu led them inside, inside the main hall of the Ningshou Palace, there were a few ladies dressed in all kinds of rich clothes, they were all talking and laughing, when they saw them enter, they all turned to look, but when they saw Mu Qian Xue, their expressions changed slightly.

Seated at the very top was a woman dressed in a luxurious robe of rusted red and silver. Her black hair was not adorned with gold, silver, or glass like the others, but was adorned with jade, giving her a dignified atmosphere. Even though there were already fine wrinkles in the corner of her eyes, one could still see that she was a first class beauty when she was young from her facial features. On the side, slightly lower down, was a handsome man wearing a crown of nine pearls.

Dong Fang Su walked to the center of the hall and knelt down respectfully, "This son respectfully wishes this empress a thousand years of longevity! Empress Dowager Wei was the master of the Sixth Palace, and also the mother of Dong Fang Su and the other children.

"Get up." Empress Dowager Wei smiled as she raised her hand. She then turned to the petite lady on the left and said, "This parrot is truly as smart as you said, Ping Qing. It said that if a guest comes, there will be a guest coming, okay!"

"If not for the Spirit Channeling item, how would Ping Qing dare to present it to the empress dowager? It's not that Ping Qing is exaggerating, but there will be a lot of it, and it can even tell that Master is in a bad mood. If not, then think of a way to make Master happy."

A coquettish voice sounded out, "The more you speak, the more entranced you become. From what you said, doesn't this parrot seem to have reached the acme of perfection?"

"I don't think so, but it is truly intelligent. Sister Shen has personally seen it before, if not, he would not have made that bet with me."

The woman snorted, "That's just a matter of leisure, nothing more." After pausing for a moment, she continued in a spoiled manner: "Aunt, you have only been praising Ping Qing, don't you like the birthday present Xi Jun gave you?"

"How could that be? Wailing Home likes all of your birthday presents very much."

Weird, why does this voice sound so familiar?

The moment he stepped into the main hall, Xia Yue, who had her head lowered, eyebrows, felt suspicious. He quietly looked in the direction of the voice, and when he saw the two girls who were talking clearly, he almost exclaimed out loud.

The two women were Chang Rong Zong Ji, who nearly injured a child and the other woman who was sitting on the horse carriage.

That's right, Xu Li had said it before, Chang Rong Zong Ji's mother was the young sister of the Empress Dowager Wei. Today was the birthday of the Empress Dowager Wei, so there was no reason why she wouldn't come; as for the woman called "Ping Qing", being able to sit in the same carriage as Chang Rong Zong Ji, her identity definitely wasn't simple either.

After the argument between the two women came to an end, Dong Fang Hui laughed and said, "Imperial Mother's birthday, Seventh Brother was the first one to arrive amongst all the brothers. He is always like this, there is no exception."

Empress Dowager Wei looked at Dong Fang Su benevolently, "Su Er is filial, this Wailing Home has always known about it."

Grand Concubine Chen was also there. She bowed slightly and said softly: "In terms of filial piety, how could Su Er compare to Your Majesty? This Your Majesty is truly the most sincere and filial of all.

The Empress Dowager Wei rubbed her buddhist beads: "Who said that, Wailing Home sees that the two of them are equally good, but you, whenever you mention Su Er, always say that he is not good, then that is not good, only Su Er is magnanimous, and will not get angry with you."

Grand Concubine Chen laughed. "Of course not, chenqie is telling the truth. All of us sisters are jealous of the empress dowager's good fortune."

"You, you!" Empress Dowager Wei shook her head, as she turned to look at Mu Qian Xue who was standing beside Dong Fang Su with his eyes lowered, "Nanzhao Xuan Ji?"

Mu Qian Xue stepped forward and bowed, "Qianxue congratulates the empress dowager on her blessings and good fortune, shining like the sun and moon!"

Hearing this voice, both Shen Xi Jun and Zhao Ping Qing's face simultaneously changed. They looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes. Wasn't it the same voice they had heard in the street? Could it be that the woman with the white veil on his face was her?

Thinking about that, the two of them looked towards Xia Yue at the same time. Although the latter had her head lowered, but they could see clearly, wasn't she the girl that blocked the carriage from the start and argued with them endlessly?

This was really a narrow path for enemies to walk!

After indicating for Mu Qian Xue to get up, Empress Dowager Wei waved her hand, "Come, let Wailing Home see more clearly."

Mu Qian Xue followed her words and walked to the front of Empress Dowager Wei. The latter carefully examined her and said with a nod: "As the rumors say, her beauty is peerless, and she is a great beauty. Chu Di truly has a ruthless heart."

After a soft sigh, Empress Dowager Wei asked again, "How many people are still alive in Mu family?"

"Reporting to the empress dowager, aside from me and third brother, no one else is left alive in Mu family." Fortunately, those clansmen who had escaped the slaughter had all died in the ancestral hall because of her.

"How pitiful." Empress Dowager Wei sighed and patted her ice-cold hands, and said tenderly: "From now on, you will live peacefully in Northern Week. If you have anything to say, you can just speak to Wailing Home, and Wailing Home will make the decision for you. Chu Di believes that the cycle of the heavens will bring about good results in the future. "

"Many thanks to the empress dowager for your pity." Mu Qian Xue looked at Xia Yue, and she saw that the latter was holding onto the embroidered box. Mu Qian Xue opened the lid of the box and said, "This bracelet is made from Flail Southern Tree, it is extremely fragrant, and has the effect of calming one's mind and calming down one's body, although it cannot be compared to the tribute of one thousand Li away from the palace, it is still not bad, I just do not know if the empress dowager would like it."

Empress Dowager Wei took the bracelet in surprise and put it on her wrist. It was tight and smooth, as if it was custom-made, and the words for life were made out of gold lines, revolving around her hands like talismans. She smiled and said to Yin Qiu: "Go and pass on Wailing Home's orders later, don't let them find you."
