Chapter 37
“You two, be obedient and wait for mother to return in the inn.” Seeing the two children nod in agreement, Su Qian patted their little heads and glanced at the little wolf king, who was napping on the ground. “Little Wolf, if any bad guys come over, you can just bite them to death. There’s no need to be polite.”
“Awoo.” The little wolf king, no, it should be Little Wolf, hurriedly agreed and wagged its tail as it watched Su Qian leave with its two young masters.
Nanny Jin, who had been waiting at the door, didn’t expect Su Qian to be so fast. She glanced at Su Qian and couldn’t help but be surprised.?“Miss Su, are you planning to meet the Empress Dowager like this?” she asked uncertainly.
“I can’t?” Su Qian tilted her head and asked.
Seeing that Su Qian was only wearing a white jade hairpin, Nanny Jin finally decided to make her stand. “Sure. Miss Su, this way, please. The carriage is already waiting outside the inn.”
Su Qian nodded and left the inn with Nanny Jin. They then boarded a carriage to the palace.
Along the way, Su Qian was neither arrogant nor impatient. She didn’t even ask Nanny Jin a single question and only quietly sipped her tea as she watched the carriage stop at the palace gates.
After getting out of the carriage, Su Qian followed Nanny Jin and walked through the majestic palace, looking around curiously.
The previous owner of this body had never been to the imperial palace, and it was also Su Qian’s first time here. After taking a look around in private, she couldn’t help but exclaim that this was indeed an imperial city with extraordinary Jade buildings and rooms.
A moment later, in the Empress Dowager’s Eternal Peace Palace.
“Miss Su.” Before entering, Nanny Jin turned to look at Su Qian. “You have to pay your respects when you see the Empress Dowager. Miss Su, please kneel three times and kowtow nine times, and don’t be impolite.”
Su Qian smiled. “Thank you, Nanny.”
In fact, Su Qian knew the rules even without Nanny Jin’s reminder. However, the fact that Nanny Jin was willing to remind her was out of good intentions. It was clear that the cold-faced Nanny Jin wasn’t a stone-hearted person.
Nanny Jin nodded and was about to lead Su Qian in when a woman’s sharp and unkind voice came from the hall.
“Mother, look at how arrogant Su Qian is. How dare she make you wait for so long? When she comes, you have to teach her a lesson and let her know the rules!”
Su Qian raised her brows and a cold smile appeared in her eyes.
It seemed that she had quite a number of enemies. She hadn’t even entered the door yet, and there were already people who were thinking of giving her a hard time.
Fortunately, an old and elegant voice immediately rang out in the hall. “I know what I’m doing.”
Only then did Nanny Jin clear her throat. “Empress Dowager, I’ve brought Miss Su here.”
“Come in.” The old and elegant voice from earlier sounded again.
Su Qian followed Nanny Jin into the palace and looked up at the Empress Dowager.
In the majestic palace, an elegant-looking old woman sat on the main seat with a cold expression. Her hair was silver, and her eyes, which were supposed to be kind, were cold. She stared at Su Qian with scrutiny, clearly not liking her.
The young woman beside the old lady clearly hated Su Qian even more than she did. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with displeasure as she scanned Su Qian with a mocking gaze and sneered.
“Su Qian pays her respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be well.” Su Qian wasn’t as cautious as the rumors made her out to be. She graciously bowed and greeted her. Her actions weren’t meant to please her but were instead elegant and respectful.
The Empress Dowager was a little surprised. She looked at Su Qian’s stunning appearance and found it difficult to associate such a calm woman with a shameless woman.
