Chapter 1152: Chapter 1151: The Reckless Dead Girl

The Princess felt a sudden dimness in her eyes.

Chu Qianli, however, was perplexed: "Does the Princess believe that their family will one day rule with unchallenged authority?"

"Miss Chu!"

The Princess seemed particularly averse to this topic, hastily saying: "Miss, this is a matter for the Nanming Imperial Family, and I am afraid I cannot discuss it at length with you."

"Alright."

Chu Qianli did not press further but looked thoughtfully in the direction Chu Qianqian had left.

The Princess had already composed herself and offered Chu Qianli a gentle smile: "Miss Chu, let us be on our way, so we do not keep others waiting too long."

"Alright." Chu Qianli complied.

At this moment, in the Empress Dowager’s bedchamber, Chu Feiyan was still fuming: "That girl Chu Qianqian, she’s becoming increasingly disrespectful. She actually forbade me from seeing you, Great-Grandmother!"

"What has Qianqian done this time?" Having frequently heard complaints about Chu Qianqian recently, the Empress Dowager’s fondness for her had diminished considerably.

After all, neither was her own blood granddaughter, so naturally, her affection for them was not deep.

Moreover, Chu Qianqian was indeed somewhat lacking in manners. While the Empress Dowager did not dislike her, she did not show the affection she had for Chu Feiyan either.

Chu Feiyan said displeased: "Great-Grandmother, I went to the Imperial Kitchen earlier to fetch some desserts for you. I didn’t expect to run into Chu Qianqian. Guess what she said?"

"What did she say?" The Empress Dowager was not particularly interested in what Chu Qianqian had said; she was merely humoring Chu Feiyan to avoid her boredom.

Having longed for her grandchildren for many years, it was unfortunate that her own son didn’t even have a wife, and after decades, she had given up hope.

Enjoying family bliss is the happiness every elderly person longs for, but unable to have it from her own son, seeing how obedient and clever Chu Feiyan was, she grew increasingly fond of her.

After all, Feiyan was a girl, a Commandery Princess, and would not likely be involved in the power struggles of the Imperial Family in the future, which meant the Empress Dowager felt no pressure in dealing with her.

It was better than being alone; having a lively young girl to cheer her up was always good.

Chu Feiyan brought over a plate of pastries and pouted: "I wanted to get some Osmanthus Cake for you, Great-Grandmother, but that awful Chu Qianqian, she wanted it too and simply snatched it away."

"I told her the Osmanthus Cake was for you, Great-Grandmother, but she said that you... you..."

"What did she say about me?" the Empress Dowager asked as she looked at her.

Chu Feiyan hesitated before saying: "She said that you... that you are already so old your teeth are nearly gone, what need have you for sweets..."

"Impudence!" Maid Dien beside her was instantly filled with anger!

"It wasn’t me who said it." Chu Feiyan quickly clarified, "It was that horrible Chu Qianqian."

The Empress Dowager did not get angry but merely sighed: "That girl is indeed becoming more disrespectful as time goes by."

"It’s all Second Uncle Emperor’s fault for indulging her too much, allowing her to become lawless. However, she doesn’t have bad intentions; she just doesn’t understand etiquette."

Chu Feiyan watched the Empress Dowager’s expression.

Indeed, disrespecting etiquette, in the Empress Dowager’s eyes, was a grave sin.

The Empress Dowager detested girls who lacked manners.

Even when Chu Feiyan came here, she would salute and perform all kinds of ceremonious greetings, being bound by numerous rules.

Even when acting spoiled before the Empress Dowager, she knew precisely where the limits were, only making the Empress Dowager find her cute and never causing the Empress Dowager to think she had not learned her manners properly.

She whispered: "That’s why I tried to teach her to be more disciplined, but unexpectedly, not only did she not listen, she even resented being nagged at, and even..."

"And what?" Maid Dien couldn’t help getting angry.

Chu Feiyan pressed her lips tightly and said: "And even, she tried to hit me!"
