Chapter 890: Chapter 888: Charging at Her in Front of Grandma
“Your Highness never resented her; she can sleep in as long as she wishes.” Chu Yihan shared a smile with the Empress Dowager while sipping tea, leaving the palace maids of Funing Palace utterly bewitched!
In this world, how could there be such a breathtakingly handsome man!
Standing at the door and witnessing this scene, Su Yingxue instantly ran to the Empress Dowager’s side to act charmingly,”Grandmother, it’s not that I deliberately indulged in sleep; it’s all Your Highness’s fault!”
Su Yingxue shot Chu Yihan a glare.
Who was the one toying around all night?
Could you really blame her for sleeping so soundly?
The Empress Dowager tapped her little granddaughter fondly, her eyes showing nothing but indulgence, “You, just like your mother, are a bit mischievous. Yihan has been so lenient toward you; even my cousin’s empress has never slept in till the midday meal as you do, and he adores her immensely!”
“The empress is the mother to a nation; of course, she needs to take on more hardships. But I don’t have to!”
As Su Yingxue spoke, the sight of a table full of her favorite dishes had her ready to dive in.
However, she still glanced at the Empress Dowager, who smiled and picked up a chopstick-full of food for her, “Here, have some, my dearest! All these dishes were selected by Yihan himself. He cares deeply about everything that concerns you; I can’t find a single fault in that!”
Back when the Empress Dowager considered Shen Yu as her granddaughter, she constantly worried about not being able to find a good family that would serve her with minute and thoughtful attention at all times.
Later, when she began to pay attention to her marriage with Qin Muyan, she fretted somewhat; Qin Muyan was an unrestrained man, and when it came to attending to women, he hardly had much care.
It wasn’t until now, with Su Yingxue being recognized, and seeing how well Chu Yihan treated her, that she could finally be at ease.
In this world, there was no second man who could be as good to Su Yingxue as Chu Yihan was.
Even when it came to Qin Muyan, with her understanding of him as his imperial grandmother, he probably could not match Yihan’s attentiveness.
“Empress Dowager, that Shen Yu has been clamoring to see you,” the Empress Dowager’s trustworthy nanny whispered at her side.
The Empress Dowager’s expression darkened slightly as she set down her chopsticks, sighing softly, “Ah, this child…”
“Grandmother, Shen Yu has a wicked heart and isn’t worth your pity. You needn’t trouble yourself over her anymore; leave the handling of this matter to me,” Su Yingxue volunteered.
“But… after all, she has served me for days on end, and since her return to the Great Wei several months ago, every time she enjoyed my company at my knees, I felt she was still a dutiful child, even though… she did what she did to you in order to retain her status.”
In the Empress Dowager’s eyes, there was still a hint of reluctance.
“Grandmother, do you still remember her birth parents?”
“Her parents… I’m not sure why they left the palace, and I didn’t inquire much about them,” the Empress Dowager replied.
At the time, she was only concerned with having Mu Fei look after Shen Yu.
Now that she thought about it, those two must have been taken away by Mu Fei.
Su Yingxue remarked, “It’s likely they’ve already met with misfortune. Mu Fei is a ruthless person; he wouldn’t have left them be. Shen Yu, who would even betray her own birth parents, doesn’t deserve your kindness.”
In her heart, the Empress Dowager still harbored a sliver of hope for Shen Yu.
This lasted until Qin Muyan came to Funing Palace looking for Su Yingxue.
Qin Muyan paid his respects to the Empress Dowager and also notified Qin Rulie to hurry over.
Seeing their tense expressions, the Empress Dowager asked, “My dear Mu Yan, what has happened? Have you caught that Mu Fei yet? I must thoroughly question him.”
