The Empress Dowager said coldly: "Take a seat."
A palace maid immediately brought over a pear blossom wood stool and placed it beside Noble Consort Wang.
Noble Consort Wang had just sat down when she suddenly looked as if she had just seen Xuexue and exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my, isn't this the eldest lady of the Situ Mansion? What wind blew you here to the Imperial Palace today!" After speaking, she covered her mouth with her hand and laughed, the sound very shrill and obviously a fake laugh.
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, clearly displeased: "Stop laughing, you should be grateful that she came here today, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to enter my palace."
The Empress Dowager's meaning was very clear. If not for Xuexue's presence, there would be no chance for Noble Consort Wang to enter her domain.
