"Zuiyue." Jiang Zhimiao called Zuiyue and whispered, "Go to the Imperial Study and tell the Emperor that I'm going to Shou'an Palace to pay my respects."

She and Yue Lin officially started the cooperation mode.

With just a little hint, he should know what she meant.

"Yes." Zuiyue responded calmly.

"Xiao Chengzi, go and call all the eunuchs in Fengyi Palace." Jiang Zhimiao continued to give instructions.

Xiao Chengzi just agreed, Jiang Zhimiao muttered to himself, "This may not be enough. Wait, I'll go to Concubine De and others to borrow some people."

Jiang Zhimiao hurried back to Fengyi Palace, and then came out with a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs. Concubine De and her personal personnel were all taken away by her.

Jiang Zhimiao led a group of people to Shou'an Palace.

Yunxiang couldn't help but whispered, "My Lady, because of the matter of Prince An He, the Empress Dowager probably hated you to the core. It's rare that the Emperor said in person that the Empress Dowager doesn't like crowds, and the concubines don't need to bother her. If we take the initiative to go, won't we be asking for trouble?"

Jiang Zhimiao smiled and said seriously, "The Empress Dowager has a headache today, and she must have something to worry about. As the younger generation, we should naturally share the worries of the elders."

Yunxiang couldn't help but blink.

Her mistress didn't look like such a kind person.

However—

It's not a big problem. Zuiyue has already invited the Emperor, so the Empress must have an idea in her mind.

Shou'an Palace.

The Empress Dowager looked at Xie Qiu kneeling on the ground with a cold expression.

Xie Qiu knelt there, but her expression was very stubborn, and she didn't mean to give in at all.

The Duke's wife looked at her daughter uncomfortably, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

She didn't dare to say it, but secretly felt a little dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager.

Qiu'er grew up in luxury, and she was her only child. She was truly raised in the palm of her hand by the whole family.

If Qiu'er really did something wrong, it would be fine.

But today, she didn't think Qiu'er had done anything wrong!

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had no intention of calling her, Mrs. Xie could not help but said, "Empress Dowager! Qiu'er is weak, this..."

"Weak?" The Empress Dowager sneered, "I can't see where she is weak! A girl in the boudoir dares to say such arrogant words. Who does she think she is? How dare she trample on the face of our royal family!"

Xie Qiu gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, "The Empress Dowager is too kind! The marriage between the two families has not been decided in the first place. The Empress Dowager summoned me to the palace today and asked me about my opinion on the marriage. I answered honestly. I really don't know what's wrong with this!"

"What is wrong?" The Empress Dowager became more and more angry, "What is your identity? What is my Hua'er's identity? I intend to match you up, which is a great favor to the Xie family! You, an unmarried girl, dare to refuse the marriage. Is this the upbringing of your Xie family?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Mrs. Xie angrily, "This is the good daughter you taught!"

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, her Yue Hua was the best in the world.

No matter which girl she wanted to marry Yue Hua to, that girl should be grateful and excited!

This Xie Qiu, she had heard before that she was willing in her heart.

As a result, she wanted to officially make a marriage arrangement between the two families.

She actually said that she didn't want to!

Unwilling?

She was not qualified to say that she didn't want to!

The Empress Dowager was so angry that her heart ached. She couldn't hold back her anger for a while and immediately asked Xie Qiu to kneel down.

Mrs. Xie opened her mouth to plead for mercy many times, but was blocked back.

Mrs. Xie couldn't help but hold back a breath of anger in her heart.

The Queen Mother asked Qiu'er if she was willing, and Qiu'er said no, so she turned her face on the spot!

In this case, why did she pretend to be a charitable old lady before!?
