That's way too exaggerated!

Oh well, it's already been changed, so Heyue is too lazy to bother with her anymore.

Upon arriving at the main courtyard, Mother was already prepared. She took Heyue's hand and they boarded the carriage to enter the palace. At the palace gate, they boarded the sedan chair sent by Shou Kang Palace to pick them up.

When they arrived at the entrance of Shou Kang Palace, Heyue followed closely behind her mother. It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.

After all, this is the first time I've met an empress dowager from ancient times. I don't know if empress dowagers from ancient times were stern or kind.

Why did the Empress Dowager summon them to the palace?

Seeing that her mother also looked cautious but walked with a leisurely gait, Heyue felt a little relieved.

Outside Shou Kang Palace, the eunuch who brought them there went in to announce their arrival, and soon the palace maids came out to welcome them in.

The palace maid opened the curtain, and a row of palace maids stood on both sides, their eyes lowered and their demeanor respectful, which was quite impressive.

Heyue and her mother dared not raise their heads and quietly went inside.

Upon hearing the nanny bow, it was announced that Lady Irgen Gioro, a first-rank imperial consort, had arrived.

Irgen Gioro clan hurriedly led Heyue to squat down and pay their respects: "This servant Irgen Gioro clan and my daughter Heyue greet Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace."

"Get up." A lazy voice slowly rang out. Judging from the voice, the Empress Dowager was probably in her fifties or sixties. Her voice was languid but carried the authority of a ruler.

Irgen Gioro thanked the Empress Dowager and rose, holding Heyue's hand.

"Please take a seat," the Empress Dowager ordered.

The palace maids below immediately brought over a chair and a brocade stool.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Lady Irgen Gioro thanked the Empress Dowager again, and then the two of them sat down respectfully below.
