"Grandmother, what brings you to the palace?"
Madam Ji patted her little head and said, "Let go quickly, Grandmother has to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, if you act this way, you'll get punished!"
The Empress Dowager Xiao came over, pointing at her with a smile, and said, "You're always gossiping about me in front of this little girl, am I that kind of person? I've already said, from now on in the palace, you don't need to be so formal. Can't we just chat like good old sisters?"
Madam Ji felt quite embarrassed by the Empress Dowager's words!
"Look at what you're saying, wouldn't that be out of order and unruly?
Just look at this little girl, she's always this unruly, I'm really afraid she'll annoy you one day!"
"How could that be?
This is my precious darling, I can't cherish her enough!
How could I be annoyed with her?"
Then she asked, "Coming to the palace so early, have you had breakfast?"
Madam Ji quickly said, "I had something before leaving the house!"
