Chapter 543: 270 Reunion (two updates combined into one)_5

Zhuang Yuexi was slightly startled; this was her prettiest dress, and both her mother and servants said it was nicer than the plain robe.

The empress dowager softened her eyes and facial expressions after the change.

She wasn't sure whether it was an illusion, but it seemed like the empress dowager was looking at her, or rather, was looking through her at someone else.

That afternoon, it was the day for a follow-up check-up on the emperor at the Imperial Palace.
