"Commoner Xiao Chunnuan pays respects to the Empress Dowager."
Chun Nuan felt a surge of emotion as she knelt down.
The last time she entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager, she was still the Empress.
In these ten years, the circumstances changed, but the dignity of the Royal Family remained the same.
Grandfather did not wish for his sons to follow in his footsteps, nor did he want them to serve again in the palace.
He knew too well the treacherous nature of serving a sovereign.
But how could grandfather have imagined that she, Xiao Chunnuan, could not escape this summons to the palace.
"Rise, no need for formality."
The Empress remembered seeing Xiao Chunyu rolling over the iron nails back then.
The daughters of the Xiao family are all impressive!
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chun Nuan stood up.
