Chapter 583.1: glowing with vigour and valour

Pei Qianhao nodded in response to Su Xi-ers request. You havent had any soup in a few days, so this is a good chance. However, he had only taken a few steps down the hallway when he heard his wifes voice again. After hearing that I like to drink red bean soup, Royal Grandmother said that she wanted to try some.

So the soup is actually meant for the Grand Empress Dowager.

She likes sweet things, so make sure to add more sugar. As her granddaughter, I have to make Royal Grandmother happy. Su Xi-er grinned as she lightly pushed Pei Qianhao.

Looking at her, Pei Qianhao felt that she really was a filial granddaughter.

Go on. Seeing that he still hadnt left, she pushed him again.

The corners of Pei Qianhaos mouth rose as he tapped her nose. Fine, but I will prepare two servings. One with less sugar for you, so you have to drink some too. He then walked towards the back of the Grand Empress Dowagers repose palace.

As there was a kitchen in the repose palace with some basic ingredients, there was no need to go to the Royal Kitchen.

After watching Pei Qianhao walk off, Su Xi-er returned to the inner chamber. Even though the doors had been closed just now, she could already hear the Grand Empress Dowager calling for her.

Royal Grandmother, I asked A-Jing to prepare some red bean soup for you. Su Xi-er walked in and smiled.

Oh? Pei Qianhaos pet name? Hes making soup for this Grand Empress Dowager? The Grand Empress Dowagers eyes widened.

Even ordinary men in Beimin look down on women, much less the high and mighty Prince Hao. Why would he personally prepare food for this old woman?

Mmm, his skills are pretty decent; at the very least, theyre much better than Elder Brothers. Su Xi-er sat on the edge of the bed and grasped the Grand Empress Dowagers hand.

The Grand Empress Dowager was stunned. Ling-er made red bean soup?! He has never done such things.

Exactly. Both Elder Brother and A-Jing both made soup for me when my body wasnt well, so surely nothing is impossible in this world. Where there is a will, there is a way. Su Xi-er gently patted the Grand Empress Dowagers hand.

heres a way. The Grand Empress Dowagers eyes suddenly became distant, as if she was sucked into her memories. Only after a long time had pa.s.sed did she speak. When this Grand Empress Dowager still hadnt become the empress, the King said the same words to me; I didnt expect to hear them again after so many years.

Su Xi-er faintly smiled.

It seems like the Western Regions late King and A-Jing had similar personalities.

Rulan, tell this Grand Empress Dowager, who was the person that impersonated you? Ifeel that she isnt a bad person.

Detecting a trace of an inexplicable emotion in the depths of the Grand Empress Dowagers eyes, Su Xi-er understood that the former still missed Tan Ge. She could have listed off Tan Ges misdeeds, but chose not to for fear that her grandmother would feel extremely guilty.

If Royal Grandmother hears of Tan Ges crimes, it will affect her mentality.

Royal Grandmother, Tan Ge hails from a scholarly family in Beimin known as the Tan Family. However, she entered the imperial palace after the fall of her family, where we then became friends. She then took my jade pendant without me knowing, and only once she returned with the ident.i.ty of the Western Regions Imperial Princess did I understand what had happened. I initially wanted to let her continue being the princess and be filial to you in my stead.
