Sun Miaoqing said, "Of course, the Emperor is the most filial son, and the Empress Dowager is a model for women in the world. She will surely enjoy a long and blessed life."
Shen Meizhuang looked away uncomfortably, not having heard what Sun Miaoqing was thinking. She didn't think anything of what Sun Miaoqing had said.
