"Mother, what do you think my eldest sister meant?"

The First Madam glared at Wanqing and then at Sang Rui, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting! Your eldest sister has her own plans!"

Sang Rui felt wronged looking at the First Madam's attitude.

She stomped her foot in anger and turned to leave.

Wanqing couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Stupid woman!"

She still plans to marry Long Tianyi?

Even if she married him, she would probably be devoured by his concubines until nothing was left.

...

The Empress's face darkened instantly after she left the banquet.

"The Empress Dowager really doesn't give me any face at all!"

"Your Majesty, let's go back and talk about it," Lin Mama said softly, supporting the Empress's hand.

She was the wet nurse who watched the Empress grow up, and also the most trusted person by the Empress's side, who often gave the Empress advice and suggestions.

Hearing her words, the Empress's arrogance indeed subsided considerably. She tightened her grip on Lin Mama's hand and regained her composed and dignified demeanor.

After Sang Jiang returned, she was immediately assigned by Zi Teng to a side hall next to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager had already rested, which saved a lot of trouble. Sang Jiang lay on the bed, crossed her legs, and looked at the ceiling.

Kou'er stood to the side, looking down at her nose and inwardly contemplating.

Sang Jiang told her to lie down, but the little girl absolutely refused, which made Sang Jiang laugh for a while, so she simply ignored her.

That's just how the thinking was in their time, and it can't be changed overnight.

Sang Jiang rubbed her rumbling stomach, wondering if she should go to the imperial kitchen to find something to eat, but she was also afraid of getting lost and running into someone.

As a cannon fodder female supporting character in this book, he didn't think he could have the protagonist's halo and be as lucky as the female lead in a time-travel drama.

Just as she was smacking her lips and swallowing, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Kou'er was startled and rushed to open the door, afraid that she would be late and upset the person who came.

She didn't think anything would happen in the Empress Dowager's palace; all she could think about was that the Empress Dowager wanted to see her young lady.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Zifang standing there with a food box in her hand.

Kou'er quickly and respectfully bowed: "Miss Zi Teng."

Wisteria smiled and nodded: "I noticed that Miss Si didn't eat much just now, so I went to the kitchen to get some for her. Go and get it for Miss Si to eat."

As soon as Sang Jiang heard the gurgling sound of food, she sat up in bed and couldn't help but lick her lips.

"Thank you so much, Miss Wisteria. I thank you on behalf of my young lady."

"You're too kind, young lady."

After saying that, Zi Teng left directly. The reason she was so polite to Sang Jiang was because she felt that Sang Jiang was no ordinary person.

Moreover, he was someone favored by the Empress Dowager.

She would do her best to handle everything concerning the Empress Dowager.

Kou'er closed the door and turned around to see her mistress sitting at the table, her eyes shining like a hungry wolf, staring at her.

Kou'er: ...

She placed the food box on the table and opened it layer by layer.

Inside were several exquisite side dishes and a pot of porridge.

For Sang Jiang, just being able to fill her stomach was good enough. She immediately drank a bowl of porridge and then invited Kou'er to sit down with her.

Kou'er pursed her lips and swallowed hard. "Miss, please eat first."

"You brat! Sit down right now, why are you being so formal!"

She was eating something and her speech was indistinct.

Kou hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

Sang Jiang couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Are you still my darling? Are you being disobedient?!"

Seeing that Sang Jiang was really angry, Kou'er sat down awkwardly.

She wasn't like this before; she just felt very nervous when she arrived at the palace.

Unbeknownst to the master and servant, this scene had already been witnessed by a pair of eyes in the darkness.
