However, she still did not understand the Empress Dowager's intentions.
The Empress Dowager practiced Buddhism and was not in the palace for most of the time. She seemed uninterested in court affairs, but Lu Yunshuang knew that she kept herself up to date with everything going on in the court despite her apparent indifference.
After a long time, Empress Dowager Xiaojing finally finished her spiritual practices for the day. With the help of her personal maidservant, she stood up, a kind smile blossoming on her well-maintained face.
"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Crown Princess."
Lu Yunshuang hurriedly got up and curtsied to her. "It's only proper that I wait for you, Royal Grandmother. It doesn't matter how long I have to wait."
Empress Dowager Xiaojing nodded in satisfaction, took Matron Chen's hand, and sat on the couch.
Lu Yunshuang followed at once.
