It seems this trip to the Imperial Palace wasn't in vain; I actually managed to establish a connection with the Empress Dowager.
Xuexue laughed, "As long as the Empress Dowager doesn't mind, Xuexue could accompany the Empress Dowager every day."
"Hehe, you little girl, you really know how to make me happy. I'm old, young people like you would hardly want to spend their days with this old woman."
"Where is the Empress Dowager old? You look like you're only in your twenties, just at the age of looking beautiful as a flower! If we stand together on Changan Street, others might think we're sisters!"
"Hehe, nonsense, I'm not that young, I'm old, not like you young ones." Although the Empress Dowager said this, her face was full of smiles, clearly amused and delighted by Xuexue's words.
Indeed, since ancient times, which woman doesn't like being praised as youthful?
