That Granny Qin has a sharp eye; she knows what's good.
There's definitely no pure stuff like that, but I can give her a few jars of regular stuff.
Han Luoxue would definitely agree to do such a favor.
"I don't have much of the kind from last night, but I have another similar one. I can give the Empress Dowager a few more jars later."
Although Granny Qin was a little disappointed, she thought that other things would be the same. This Han Luoxue was indeed different; the things she had were really good.
As soon as the Empress Dowager woke up, she started playing with the two little ones. They seemed to be in much better spirits today, probably because they had rested well.
When Han Luoxue entered, she saw the kind-looking Empress Dowager and felt happy. After all, these were Ouyang Zhen's relatives, and it made her feel good that they liked the child.
The Empress Dowager left in the afternoon, and six jars of wine were loaded onto her carriage before she left.
The Empress Dowager was very grateful and said she looked forward to seeing Han Luoxue again.
Sitting in the carriage, the Empress Dowager's expression was somewhat complicated.
"Granny Qin, what do you think of Miss Han?"
Inside the carriage, the kindness on her face had vanished, replaced by a touch of solemnity.
Seeing the Empress Dowager's sudden change in expression, Granny Qin's expression also became more serious: "Your Majesty, this old servant thinks Miss Han is quite a nice person!"
"Not bad, huh? Hehe, actually I feel the same way!" The Empress Dowager's lips curled up: "However, what our Ouyang family needs is not just a 'not bad' empress, but an empress who can best help the Emperor!"
Hearing this, Granny Qin sighed silently. In fact, no matter how good or smart Han Luoxue was, and how many children she had, she still couldn't become the Empress.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Tell the people on the Qin family's side not to have any ulterior motives!"
Granny Qin nodded hurriedly. She understood the Empress Dowager's meaning. The Empress Dowager wouldn't harm Han Luoxue, nor would she prevent her from becoming Ouyang Zhen's empress, but she wouldn't interfere with others. How far the two of them could develop, and whether they could stay together in the end, was not something the Empress Dowager could meddle with.
In fact, Han Luoxue should feel fortunate, at least the Empress Dowager won't cause her any trouble.
If even the Empress Dowager doesn't support her, her future will be even more difficult.
"Your Majesty, you actually quite like Miss Han, don't you?"
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly: "What kind of people haven't I seen? Why would I like her?"
Hearing that the Empress Dowager was still being stubborn, Qin Mama laughed silently.
"Your Majesty, this old servant feels that your complexion is much better than before."
Granny Qin suddenly noticed a big problem, which she initially couldn't believe. But after looking more closely, she realized that the Empress Dowager's complexion had indeed improved considerably.
"What did you say?"
No matter how old a woman is, she will always care about her appearance. The Empress Dowager touched her face and found that it was indeed much smoother than before. At first, she thought it was just her imagination.
"Granny Qin, are you sure?"
Granny Qin nodded hurriedly, but to be more accurate, she suggested, "Your Highness, why don't you find a few people to take a look and hear what they have to say?"
"My observation may not be accurate on its own, but if everyone in the palace is like this, then Her Majesty's complexion has indeed improved considerably."
The Empress Dowager nodded, deeply agreeing: "Perhaps it's because seeing the two children has improved my mood, which is why I look better."
"But now that we've finally managed to get out of the city, let's go take a look at the old general's mansion!"
Granny Qin found it amusing; was the Empress Dowager holding a grudge against Old Madam Shangwu?
Just the day before yesterday, Old Madam Wu was showing off in front of her that she had met the two children. And today, the Empress Dowager even went over and slept with them.
She knew that the Empress Dowager had deliberately stayed overnight last night, because the Empress Dowager had learned that Old Madam Wu had only taken one look at her before returning that same day.
The Empress Dowager deliberately didn't return last night, just so she could spend more time with Old Madam Wu and the children, and show off in front of her.
He hasn't even returned to the palace yet, and he's already gone to show off to Old Madam Wu.
Madam Wu was surprised that the Empress Dowager would come in person. She was taken aback, but since the Empress Dowager had come, Madam Wu had no choice but to go out and greet her herself.
She felt a little suspicious when she first met the Empress Dowager.
Once inside the living room, Old Madam Wu waved for the servants to leave, then suddenly asked, "Did Xue'er give you her water?"
The Empress Dowager was completely baffled by the question. What did Xue'er's water mean?
Seeing the Empress Dowager's bewildered expression, Old Madam Wu smiled knowingly: "So it's because you drank Xue'er's wine, quite a lot, right?"
The Empress Dowager was even more shocked. She had been drinking last night, but hadn't drunk anything today. She was also certain that there was no smell of alcohol on her breath. How did Old Madam Wu find out?
"Xue is good in every way, except that she is too honest. How could you drink such good stuff when we've only just met?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately became displeased. She glared at Old Madam Wu and said irritably, "It seems you've drunk it before. She was my granddaughter-in-law, so why can't I drink it?"
Actually, the Empress Dowager and Lady Wu had a good relationship before; they were best friends before they got married. After their marriage, they became in-laws through their children's marriage, so their relationship naturally became even better.
If it weren't for the later incident involving Ouyang Zhen's mother and the unknown fate of Ouyang Zhen, which caused Madam Wu to harbor resentment towards the Empress Dowager, the two would have maintained a good relationship.
However, the two have become much closer because of their child. Even though they tease each other, at least they still meet up.
"She can drink, she can drink!" Old Madam Wu helplessly covered her forehead. She forgot to tell Xue'er not to take out her wine easily, which made it easy for the Empress Dowager to benefit.
"Tell me, what's so special about Xue's wine?"
The Empress Dowager was also intrigued. When she drank it, she only thought it tasted good. She didn’t have any special effects after drinking it, but she slept very well last night. She couldn’t remember the last time she had slept so well.
"Her wine is a rare find. It contains a lot of precious medicinal herbs. Xue'er loves to tinker with these strange and unusual things. I guessed it when I saw your face!"
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager became even more curious: "You also feel that there have been any changes in my face?"
"You look younger than before, your complexion is better, and you have fewer wrinkles! You just drank it last night. If you drink it a few more times, I bet you'll have a lot less gray hair."
"Can't you see me? Look at my face and my hair, do I look like someone that old?"
"You don't know, but not long ago, I looked older than you."
