Cold-faced Empress

After saying that, Hu Lingjing glared at her fiercely, as if her eyes were poisoned, but strangely, she did not intend to teach her a lesson again.

Seeing Hu Lingjing and the other palace servants carry the sedan chair and leave in a huff, Fu Siying frowned slightly, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes.

The pain was unbearable, so I didn't argue with her.

No, that's not like Hu Lingjing. Hu Lingjing should be more eager for revenge the more she's in pain.

So... it can only mean that he knows he can't beat her, so he plans to endure for a while and secretly plot revenge?

This conjecture made Fu Siying serious. The inner palace belonged to Consort De; if Hu Lingjing asked Consort De to punish her, it would be very easy.

At this moment, a group of palace maids entered the corridor and garden to pay their respects to the young masters and ladies. Another palace maid came to Fu Siying to pay her respects: "Miss Fu, the Empress Dowager summons you. Please come with me."

The Empress Dowager summons you!

Of the young men and women present, how many would have the honor of paying homage to the Empress Dowager?

Among the group of excited young men and women, only Fu Siying had her brows furrowed.

Why would the Empress Dowager summon her? This didn't happen in her previous life!

The palace had many long and winding roads. Countless noblewomen came to pay their respects at the Empress Dowager's Shun'an Palace, yet the scene was quiet and orderly, with no room for disorder.

Fu Siying followed behind the others, bowing her head as she entered the main hall.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager! May the Empress Dowager live a thousand years and enjoy peace and happiness!"

The Empress Dowager didn't care who the young men and women summoned to the palace were. She glanced at them and praised them all, since it was just a reward for the families of court officials.

Just as Fu Siying was about to feel at ease, thinking that nothing else had happened, she heard the Empress Dowager ask, "Fu Li Shi, which one is your eldest daughter? Point her out so that I can see her."

Fu Siying raised her eyes slightly and saw her mother, who was standing on the side of the hall, step forward and point at her: "Come, Siying, why don't you let the Empress Dowager take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Siying calmly walked out.

Looking down without the slightest panic or tension, she performed the palace salute again: "Your subject, Fu Siying, greets Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. I wish Your Majesty good health, restful sleep, and a long and peaceful life."

The hall was quiet for a moment, then the Empress Dowager's hearty laughter rang out: "Haha, what a wonderful person! This is the first time I've ever heard someone wish me 'good food and restful sleep'. How thoughtful!"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was happy, all the concubines and court ladies immediately followed suit and flattered her.

"Yes, the words are simple and honest, and they make people feel comfortable."

"The eldest daughter of the Fu family is indeed extraordinary."

Despite the surrounding praise, Fu Siying remained unmoved, maintaining her bowing posture and remaining completely calm.

Unseen by her, the Empress Dowager, seated high above, looked on with satisfaction.

"Get up," the Empress Dowager nodded. "Your palace etiquette is also standard and proper, which shows that Madam Fu has taught you with care."

Madam Li dared not accept the praise: "It's what she should have done."

The Empress Dowager responded with satisfaction: "Raise your head and let me see your face."

Fu Siying straightened up, slowly raised her head, and kept her gaze away from the Empress Dowager.

When he looked up, his appearance was revealed without any concealment.

Yellow dress, stunning beauty!
