Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The joy in the Empress Dowager’s heart was written all over her face. After she sat down on her right with the two children in her arms, she hurriedly called out to Su Qian, “Qianqian, come over and sit beside me.”

The Empress Dowager’s kindness was difficult to refuse. Su Qian could only sit down beside the Empress Dowager and smile. She said, “Thank you, Empress Dowager.”

“Oh, we’re all family. Why are you so polite?” After the Empress Dowager said this, she quickly called out to Xiao Yan, “Xiao Jiu, don’t just stand there. Hurry up and sit next to Qianqian.”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was signaling to him, Xiao Yan calmly walked forward and sat down beside Su Qian.

“That’s good, that’s good.” After the Empress Dowager said this, she turned to look at the two children beside her and asked, “Ye’er, Qingqing, tell Grandmother what you both like to eat? Grandmother will have the Imperial Kitchen to prepare it for you.”

“I love meat. Grandmother. Our tummies are growling. When can we eat?” Su Qingqing bit one of her fingers as she looked at the table full of delicacies with anticipation and said.

Seeing the longing look on Su Qingqing’s face, the Empress Dowager grew fonder. “You can eat it now. Nanny Jin, hurry up and bring the meal.”

There were cold dishes on the table. Nanny Jin brought in the hot dishes from the Imperial Kitchen. Every dish was exceptionally exquisite, enticing in color, aroma, and taste, making everyone’s appetite wide open.

“Qianqian, you don’t have to be so reserved here. Just treat this place as your own home and eat whatever you want. Don’t stand on ceremony.” After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she didn’t forget to remind the two children, “What do you two want to eat? If you can’t reach it, tell Grandmother. Grandmother will get someone to serve it for you.”

“Thank you, Grandmother.” Su Ye smiled and nodded. After saying this, he quickly invited his sister to eat.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager’s attention was all on Su Qian and the two children, Princess Xuehua felt resentful. However, she dared not voice any objections. Instead, she sneakily wanted to get closer to Xiao Yan and sit beside him.

However, Nanny Jin didn’t give her a chance. She stood beside Xiao Yan and served Xiao Yan and Su Qian, blocking any space for Princess Xuehua.

She didn’t want to be too close to the two children. In the end, Princess Xuehua could only sit directly opposite the Empress Dowager with an aggrieved expression.

Unlike Princess Xuehua’s visibly troubled expression, the rest of the people enjoyed their meals, their faces filled with joyful smiles.

After taking a few bites, Xiao Yan took the initiative to remind, “Ye’er, didn’t you and Qingqing prepare a gift for Imperial Grandmother?”

Seeing that Xiao Yan had taken the initiative to mention this matter, Su Ye and Su Qingqing looked at each other and smiled. Their eyes revealed a mischievous and devilish smile.

The Empress Dowager didn’t notice the emotions in the eyes of the two children. Instead, she asked happily, “Did you prepare a gift for me?”

“Yes, Empress Dowager. My sister and I specially went to prepare snow pear soup for you this afternoon,” Su Ye said with a smile.

“Ninth Uncle told us that the Empress Dowager is getting old and always has a cough. I hope that after you drink the snow pear soup that my brother and I made, you will be able to recover and won’t cough so much,” Su Qingqing said sweetly.

The Empress Dowager was so touched that she didn’t know what to say. She was completely overwhelmed with emotion.

When Princess Xuehua heard this, she sneered. “Little Young Master Su, the timing of your gift is quite off.. Haven’t Little Young Master heard of that saying?”
