Although she said that, Su Yingxue still explained the rules of the palace to Su Miaoyan. The emperor and empress could not be provoked, especially the Seventh Prince who held a grudge against her.
Su Yingxue thought to herself that they were visiting Noble Consort Xiao’s palace today. Noble Consort Xiao was generous, so even if Su Miaoyan made a small mistake, she wouldn’t be blamed.
Perhaps, based on her innocence, she might even reward her with a pile of gold hairpins.
Su Miaoyan was very obedient. On the way into the palace, she didn’t even peek outside the carriage curtains. After getting out of the carriage, she obediently followed Su Yingxue, walking along the palace path.
However, Su Yingxue found it strange. The attendants didn’t take her to Noble Consort Xiao’s place but brought her to Fengzao Palace.
Su Yingxue was a bit suspicious. “Granny, this is the empress’s Middle Palace.”
The attendant simply led the way. Upon reaching the entrance of Fengzao Palace and seeing Granny Song, she left.
Seeing Su Yingxue’s puzzled expression, Granny Song approached and explained, “Miss Su, when the empress heard that you were coming to the palace today, she insisted on hosting a banquet for you.”
Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes. “It seems the empress misses me a lot.”
What was she up to now?
“Sister, will 1 cause you trouble if 1 accompany you to the empress’s palace?” The moment Su Miaoyan heard about the empress, she remembered Su Yingxue’s past encounters with her and her son. Wasn’t this a revenge scheme?
Su Yingxue put her arm around Miaoyan’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. Just bow and keep quiet.”
Granny Song looked at Miaoyan and asked, “Miss Su, who is this?”
“It’s my third uncle’s youngest daughter, Miaoyan. I wanted to introduce her to Noble Consort Xiao and let her see the world, but unexpectedly, we ended up at the empress’s palace today,” Su Yingxue explained with a faint smile.
Granny Song, being an elder in the palace, naturally knew the empress’s intentions. If Su Yingxue were alone, she wouldn’t worry.
But this little girl…
“Nice to meet you, Granny.”
As they stood at the entrance of Fengzao Palace, an elegant male voice greeted them.
Su Yingxue and Su Miaoyan looked toward the source of the voice. Xiao Yu, dressed in a light bamboo-colored brocade robe, sat in a wheelchair. Though his features were delicate and distant, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Xiao Yu was pleased to see Miaoyan.
However, considering her innocence, untouched by worldly affairs, Su Yingxue’s decision to bring her to the imperial palace seemed questionable, prompting a hint of blame towards Su Yingxue.
“Hey, brother, you’re here too. You look even better today!”
Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Miaoyan’s eyes curved like crescent moons, causing Xiao Yu to unconsciously smile. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, brother. You look so good. Meeting you is my blessing!” Miaoyan said cheerfully.
“Miss Su, your sister is quite eloquent!” Xiao Si praised.
He had encountered many clever and quick-witted girls with his young master, but Miaoyan’s aura was unique and refreshing.
Moreover, their young master seemed to like her company!
Seeing Miaoyan’s joyful eyes, Su Yingxue realized that her ability to speak depended on the person she was interacting with.
During their confrontation with their aunt earlier, Miaoyan had displayed a remarkable skill for words..
