Noble Concubine Shih evidently felt that she wouldn't be a laughingstock.
After exchanging some pleasantries, she led everyone to the Ningshou Palace.
In front of the Empress Dowager, Noble Concubine Shih always managed to gain favor.
Therefore, all along the way there, she wore a mysteriously confident smile.
Upon arrival at Ningshou Palace, everyone knelt before the Empress Dowager to pay respects.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Sister Qing and then said with a smile,
"All rise, Qingyun, bestow seats upon them!"
Today the Empress Dowager was dressed in a date-red Phoenix Robe with a pure gold Phoenix Crown adorning her head.
Her complexion was rosy, and her eyes and brows were tinged with happiness.
No matter how one looked at her, she did not appear to be someone who had just recovered from a serious illness!
