Chapter 534 - 534: How Strange
Taking in the expressions of the two little fellows, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Then, what gift do you plan to give the Empress Dowager?”
“The Empress Dowager is the most honored person in the Imperial Palace. Even His Majesty has to respectfully call her Imperial Mother. Thus, the Empress Dowager wouldn’t take a fancy to ordinary gifts. If we want to give, it has to be something heartfelt.” The smile on Su Ye’s lips deepened, making him look obedient and cute. “Ninth Uncle, what do you think if Qingqing and I prepare some delicious food for the Empress Dowager tonight?”
“Ye’er, your intentions are good, but this might not be in line with protocol.” Su Qian didn’t want to dampen her son’s enthusiasm, but it wasn’t easy to send food to the Empress Dowager.
“Didn’t Ninth Uncle say before that the Empress Dowager likes children? If that’s the case, why can’t we bring her some food?” Su Ye looked at Xiao Yan and blinked his eyes as he said, “Ninth Uncle if we prepare food for the Empress Dowager, wouldn’t she like it?”
“Of course not.” Xiao Yan saw that Su Ye’s beautiful big eyes were constantly jumping with waves of sharp cold light, and he was very clear that this kid most likely didn’t have any good intentions.
However, Xiao Yan knew that this evil intention was not directed at the Empress Dowager, but at him.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was extremely curious. What kind of thoughts were hidden in this son of his?
Hence, the smile on Xiao Yan’s lips deepened a bit. At this time, he looked at Su Ye with a smile that wasn’t a smile. “It’s good that you two siblings have such thoughts. How about this, you guys go ahead and do it. I’ll be responsible for bringing you all into the palace tonight. At that time, I’ll bring the food you guys made with you. I guarantee that no one will stop you.”
“That’s great. Thank you, Ninth Uncle.” Su Ye’s tone was pure and innocent. After a bright smile, he retracted his gaze.
After that, breakfast was served. Su Ye and Su Qingqing quickly ate their fill and left in a hurry. They said that they had to hurry up and make food so that they could deliver it to the Empress Dowager at night.
As she watched the two children leave quickly, Su Qian couldn’t help but raise her hand and gently stroke her chin. “Today seems to be a day when the sun rises from the west.”
Hearing Su Qian’s words, Xiao Yan looked at her curiously. “What’s wrong?”
“Ye’er, this child, has always only cooked for the family. In the past, if someone wanted to order him around, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens. But today, he actually took the initiative to ask to cook for the Empress Dowager…” Su Qian raised her hand and held her snow-white chin in puzzlement. “How strange.”
Seeing Su Qian’s puzzled expression, Xiao Yan smiled lightly. “Perhaps it’s because of the two children like Imperial Grandmother.”
Su Qian was puzzled. The two children had never met the Empress Dowager, so how could they like her?
But upon further thought, Su Qian couldn’t find a suitable reason, so she could only tacitly agree with Xiao Yan’s statement.
Time flew by. That night, Su Qian led the two children into the palace with Xiao Yan.
In the Empress Dowager’s bedroom, the Empress Dowager was dressed in a dark red court attire. She had already prepared everything and was waiting anxiously in her seat.
Seeing the Empress Dowager so excited, Nanny Jin couldn’t help but say, “Empress Dowager, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you so happy..”
