Although some people had heard that Empress Dowager had an inexplicable liking for Su Qian before, no one had seen it personally. Most people believed that it was just a rumor. However, today, when they saw Empress Dowager look at Su Qian, her face was as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum, clearly showing her genuine fondness for her.
Everyone in Fire Cloud knew about Su Qian’s situation and the fact that Empress Dowager had actually agreed to this marriage. It was unknown if she really loved the Ninth Prince or if it was just a pretense.
“Today, Imperial Grandmother is hosting a palace banquet. I naturally have to think of a way to make you happy,” Xiao Yan gently replied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Qian sat silently on the side until she felt Xiao Zhen’s cold gaze sweep across her and Xiao Yan.
Su Qian had initially hoped that Xiao Zhen would scold her and cancel the engagement. However, She had been too optimistic. Xiao Zhen only glanced at her indifferently before retracting his gaze and not expressing any opinions.
Xiao Zhen wasn’t angry, nor did he like her. He simply didn’t care.
Su Qian retracted her gaze. She already knew that Xiao Yan’s mother had passed away early and was not favored by the Emperor. However, she did not expect that he would be so unfavored to this extent.
Fortunately, although Xiao Yan was not favored by his father, he still had his grandmother’s love. The Empress Dowager looked at him and laughed, “Alright, today is just an ordinary family banquet. Everyone, there’s no need to be restrained. Let’s start the feast now.”
“Yes, thank you Empress Dowager.” Everyone thanked her and then sat down to eat the delicacies in front of them.
Su Qian was hungry and ate earnestly. Soon, she saw Prime Minister An stand up not far away from them.
“The Empress Dowager has been ill. The previous dynasty and the inner palace were all concerned. Now that the Empress Dowager has finally recovered, I am extremely happy and specially prepared a congratulatory gift to wish the Empress Dowager good health.” After Prime Minister An finished speaking, his servant immediately presented the gift.
“Prime Minister, you’re very thoughtful.” The Empress Dowager nodded in response.
As soon as Prime Minister An began, the rest of the guests also presented their congratulatory gifts.
In the end, even the Emperor and Empress sent a congratulatory gift. Xiao Yan finally smiled at Empress Dowager and said, “I know that Imperial Grandmother sincerely worships Buddha, so I have specially found a string of jade Buddha beads to present to Imperial Grandmother.”
As he spoke, Xiao Yan took out a box. The moment he opened it, a dazzling light burst forth and left everyone stunned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere were a total of 108 emerald Buddha beads in the box. They were made of gold thread and inlaid with gold thread. They were extremely extravagant and one could tell at a glance that they were priceless.
Everyone sighed in amazement. They all thought that the Ninth Prince was truly different now. Look at how wealthy and generous he was. It really made people envious.
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed and couldn’t stop smiling. “Good, I’ll like whatever you give me. Quick, Nanny Jin, bring the Buddha beads over and put them on for me.”
Even the Emperor’s gift just now, the Empress Dowager did not say that she would use it immediately. It could be seen how much she valued Xiao Yan.
Su Qian glanced at Xiao Yan.
This palace was cold, only the Empress Dowager could make Xiao Yan treat her so attentively.
The Empress Dowager put on the Buddhist beads and was satisfied. “I like the things you gave me. The other beloved ministers present are also thoughtful. Let’s continue with the meal.”
“Empress Dowager, please wait a moment. There’s still one person who hasn’t given you a gift.” An Ruoruo suddenly stood up and said.
Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to An Ruoruo.
An Ruoruo coldly glanced at Su Qian and sneered, “Miss Su, as the fiancee of the Ninth Prince, I believe you must have prepared a generous gift for the Empress Dowager.. Why don’t you show it to us and let us see what you have brought to impress us?”
