Chapter 1158: Chapter 1157: So It Turns Out, She Really Is That Biased

Everyone immediately broke into a cold sweat for Chu Qianli.

The words of the Empress Dowager clearly showed her great displeasure with Chu Qianli.

Using tricks in front of the Empress Dowager would certainly not end well.

Both the Princess and Chu Nandong watched Chu Qianli, uncertain of how she would explain herself.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qianli simply chuckled and nodded: "Yes! Chu Feiyan has always bullied me, and today I caught her at her own game, so naturally, I sought my revenge."

"..." Everyone was left speechless.

Even the Empress Dowager was startled.

This audacious girl doesn’t hide her intentions at all!

Her frankness somehow made her less dislikeable.

Just now, she was extremely annoyed with Chu Qianli.

The Empress Dowager left.

Princess Qianqian followed her in.

Unsure of what they would discuss.

The Princess breathed a sigh of relief and, glancing again at Chu Qianli, she grew anxious: "Miss Chu, this is Nanming!"

"I know." It was indeed dangerous to offend the Empress Dowager on her own turf.

The Princess felt complicated.

This young girl, so young, one could say she does not understand the ways of the world, yet it seems she knows everything.

If you say she understands, sometimes she acts so impulsively.

She sighed softly.

Chu Qianli smiled and said: "Regardless of the outcome, the Empress Dowager will only be angry with me; Princess Qianqian will not be implicated."

"Besides, from the way the Empress Dowager looked at Princess Qianqian just now, there was a hint of apology. At least in this respect, Princess Qianqian gained something from today’s incident."

"But you..." the Princess hesitated.

"I’m not from Nanming. As long as the Empress Dowager doesn’t kill me, everything is negotiable, and it won’t affect my prospects."

"You are quite optimistic." The Princess sighed: "You don’t know, Prince Yuy’s influence here is very..."

Forget it, it’s best not to say too much.

After all, we are still in the palace.

"The guests have arrived, and since the Empress Dowager is not here, let’s go to the banquet hall first." The Princess quickly regained her calm and composure.

Chu Qianli nodded, cast one last glance in the direction where the Empress Dowager had left, then turned and followed the Princess’s footsteps.

...

The Empress Dowager’s bedroom.

Princess Qianqian kept her head down, fiddling with her fingers, and dared not speak out of turn.

She even felt nervous about breathing too heavily.

"Are you that afraid of me?" The Empress Dowager was not actually a malicious person and could even be described as quite amiable most of the time.

However, given her high position, this status meant that few dared to relate to her with genuine sincerity.

It was for this reason, when Chu Feiyan, who knew proper etiquette and yet could be occasionally coquettish and willful, appeared before her, the Empress Dowager immediately took a liking to this daring girl who could make a scene in her presence.

Since childhood, she always liked her... until just before.

Perhaps even now she still liked her, yet for a brief moment earlier, she felt a touch of disappointment.

She actually didn’t like children who told lies.

Probably no elder would.

"In your heart, am I really that terrible?" the Empress Dowager sighed.

Princess Qianqian quickly lifted her head to meet her gaze, frightened.

"Empress Dowager, I didn’t mean that, I just... just..."

She bit her lower lip, then after a long time, whispered, "I’ve never talked to the Empress Dowager like this... being... too close, I...I feel nervous..."

The Empress Dowager exchanged a glance with her chief attendant.

Now, Princess Qianqian was sitting not far from the Empress Dowager.

The distance seemed indeed very close.

Yet such proximity was absolutely normal for her other granddaughter, Chu Feiyan.

It seems after all these years, she truly had been showing favoritism!
