Hearing the conversation between the mistress and servant, Granny Zeng smiled from ear to ear and said affectionately, "Your Highness is truly a thoughtful and lovely person. Your Highness is so blessed."
"That's what I should do," Wen Nongnong said, a hint of shyness appearing on her face.
Granny Zeng was increasingly pleased with her choice. The Empress Dowager was truly discerning, having chosen such a considerate princess for the prince.
Upon arriving at Jingci Palace, Wen Nongnong discovered that Empress Dowager Guo, Gu Heng, and... Wen Ruyi were also there.
The three of them seemed to have arrived not long ago.
The Empress Dowager sat in her chair, her expression not particularly cheerful, but when she saw Wen Nongnong walk in, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Nongnong, come here quickly, sit down here with me."
Her enthusiastic manner made Empress Dowager Guo feel very uncomfortable.
They're both her daughters-in-law, but the difference is so huge, isn't it too obvious?
She had never seen the Empress Dowager smile at her so easily and freely.
Thinking this, Empress Dowager Guo clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly.
Seeing this, Wen Ruyi's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
Gu Heng had just brought her to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, but the old lady's attitude was lukewarm. However, when she saw Wen Nongnong, her face immediately lit up with a smile, as if Wen Nongnong was her source of joy. Did she really like Wen Nongnong that much, or dislike her that much?
Thinking back to when she was in the Wen family mansion, she was clearly more favored by the old lady, while Wen Nong Nong was disliked by the old lady. Why did things turn out differently in the palace?
Wen Ruyi felt somewhat unconvinced.
Looking at the Empress Dowager's aged face, I felt a sense of disgust.
Wen Nongnong seemed oblivious to the stares directed at her. Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, she smiled genuinely, stepped forward, and respectfully bowed to her. She then bowed to Empress Dowager Guo and Gu Heng before walking away.
"Mother, you look quite well today. Is there some good news?" She squatted down beside the Empress Dowager, tilted her little face up, and asked with curiosity, but her appearance was also quite innocent.
The Empress Dowager's heart melted instantly.
It had been a long time since she had heard such a lovely young girl speak to her. She couldn't stop smiling. "Of course there's good news. Isn't the good news that you've come to the palace to see me?"
As he spoke, he reached out his withered hand, trying to pull her up. "You little girl, why are you squatting on the ground? Quickly come and sit down next to me."
Wen Nongnong dared not let her pull her, so she quickly stood up and sat down beside her as instructed.
"I thought the Empress Dowager didn't like me making a fuss around, so I didn't dare to come to the palace to see her. If I had known you wouldn't mind, I should have come to the palace to keep you company sooner." After saying that, she sighed seriously, as if she was very regretful.
Empress Dowager Guo and Wen Ruyi looked at each other with indignation and disdain.
That despicable Wen Nongnong is only good at flattery and fawning.
No matter how sour they felt, the Empress Dowager adored Wen Nong Nong, and her smile never faded.
"How come you're so lovable, girl?"
"Your Majesty, you may not know, but the Princess Consort is so thoughtful. Before entering the palace, she even personally cooked ginseng chicken soup for the Prince," Granny Zeng couldn't help but interject.
The Empress Dowager was very surprised when she heard this. "Girl, you can cook?"
Wen Nongnong shook her head modestly and said, "I don't know how to cook other dishes, but I can make ginseng chicken soup. I mainly thought of this method to help the prince get some nourishment because I saw that he was too tired every day."
