Mother Xia first meticulously paid her respects to the elderly Madam and Princess Pingning.
"Madam, it has been some days since I last saw you, how has your health been?"
Old Madam was a close acquaintance of the Empress Dowager, and their friendships had remained undeterred over the years. She nodded with a smile, "I'm doing fine. How does Her Majesty the Empress Dowager fair now?"
Mother Xia smiled: "Thanks to the attentive care of the young Madam, the Empress Dowager is now much better. When I was leaving the palace today, she even mentioned you. She would like you to visit her in the palace when you have the time!"
The old Madam responded with a hint of a smile: "Once the Empress Dowager has the strength, I will surely pay her a visit!"
Mother Xia also paid her respects to Princess Pingning: "Greetings, Princess!"
