Chapter 257
When Imperial Concubine Su walked into the room, she saw brocades of various tones filling the room. The Yunxi Palace would always be the first to get the first pick among any precious or valuable goods that the Imperial Palace obtained.
The two were chatting while they selected different fabrics. Suddenly, Noble Consort Ruan pointed to Imperial Concubine Su's waist and asked, "Where did you get that on your body?"
Imperial Concubine Su looked down and saw that there was a speck of white dog hair clinging onto her dress.
It probably got on me when I was talking to Weiwei before I left. Noble Consort Ruan didn't see what it was, so Imperial Concubine Su just removed it with her handkerchief.
She replied in a faint voice, "Perhaps some cotton seeds that were blown by the wind got stuck to my dress when I was on my way here."
Noble Consort Ruan did not think that there was anything wrong with what she said, so they happily continued discussing the brocade selection.
...
After Imperial Concubine Su left, Xiao Lan asked the palace servants to prepare some milk and snacks to prevent the Sixth Princess from going hungry. She raised a daughter before, so it wasn't a problem for her to take care of the little baby.
After Lin Zhanyuan finished eating the snacks, he looked at the sun above his head before he clapped his hands and said happily, "It's time to see grandma!"
Lin Zhanyuan would usually greet the Empress Dowager once every two days since she didn't intend to leave the palace anytime soon. He didn't often go for outings, so when he did, he would usually end up in the Yiqing Palace. However, he knew that he would always be given a bunch of goodies to snack on with each visit, so he always liked to play with his grandma.
It's just that Lin Zhanyuan was a little conflicted because he had his new little sister by his side today. He didn't want to leave his sister, but he also wanted to see his grandma. Hence, he finally took her little hand and asked seriously, "Does sister want to go see grandma with me? "
Since her elder sister was absent, she would naturally follow where her brother went. Therefore, she nodded her head without hesitation.
As soon as they got to the Yiqing Palace, they saw the old woman sitting on the rattan chair in the courtyard. With that, the little baby wailed.
The story about the Empress Dowager having the ability to scare her grandchildren was not just a legend. After a month of being born, she had once been frightened by the sight of the Empress Dowager.
Lin Wei was already a crybaby, but upon seeing the Empress Dowager's prominent cheekbones and stern face, she remembered the story of the child-eating monster told by her sister yesterday and she almost fainted from crying.
The good mood of the Empress Dowager, who was eager to welcome her good grandson, was completely shattered by this crybaby! She remained silent throughout the whole commotion.
Lin Zhanyuan hurriedly wiped her tears and patted her head, imitating the way Lin Feilu treated him when he cried, "Don't cry, don't cry! My sister is the best and most obedient child in the world!"
The little baby cried and pointed to the Empress Dowager, "Weiwei is afraid..."
Lin Zhanyuan couldn't understand what she was afraid of.
He scratched his head suspiciously and looked at his sister. Then, he turned to look at his grandma before he finally thought of something. He patted his chest proudly, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid! Look at me!"
He ran over to the Empress Dowager's side. Standing on his tiptoes, he kissed her on the side of her cheeks.
The Empress Dowager's heart was warmed by the soft and affectionate kiss of her good grandson.
