The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 841

Chapter 841: Chapter 738: Backbone Support

Daohua trailed behind Old Madam Yan and Madam Li, following the noble ladies towards Cining Palace.

Soon, they arrived at Cining Palace.

Gazing upon the splendid Cining Palace, Daohua’s eyes flickered and memories involuntarily surfaced of her first encounter with Grandmother Gu and Gu Jian.

Back then, Grandmother and her master lived in a dilapidated side yard of a temple where, apart from shelter from the wind and rain, there was scarcely proper furniture, and the most common sight was pots of medicine.

Even the later Taohua Temple was no match for the magnificence of Cining Palace before her eyes.

Stepping into Cining Palace and witnessing the continuous stream of noble ladies, as well as the bustling palace attendants, Daohua came to understand the glory and pomp the Empress Dowager, the emperor’s mother in name, enjoyed.

Thinking of her grandmother lying alone in Taohua Village filled her heart with an indescribable sense of suffocation.

Thereafter, Daohua along with Old Madam Yan and Madam Li followed the other noble ladies into the hall to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and Empress, before politely taking seats aside.

The Empress Dowager sat on the throne with a clear view of everyone below. Her gaze paused on the Yan Family womenfolk and lingered on Daohua briefly before indifferently moving away.

Afterward, the Empress Dowager individually spoke with the noble ladies from each family, intentionally excluding the Yan Family.

Seeing the Empress Dowager’s behavior, everyone present had their own thoughts, and naturally distanced themselves from Old Madam Yan and the others.

Amidst the cheerful banter in the main hall, the Yan Family was excluded from the warmth.

In response, Old Madam Yan, Madam Li, and Daohua remained calm, having prepared themselves for various outcomes before arriving.

Daohua secretly observed the Empress Dowager a few times.

Compared to the graceful and leisurely Empress Dowager Jiang, Grandmother Gu, with her ruined visage, looked significantly older, especially after years of suffering from illness and being forced to part from her children, her eyes always held a distressing hint of sorrow.

Seeing all that the Empress Dowager enjoyed, and reflecting on everything Grandmother had silently endured over the years, Daohua felt a surge of resentment, filling her with an uncomfortable sense of injustice.

"A report for the Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince has arrived with the princes, princesses, and their consorts to pay their respects," a palace attendant announced.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately beamed with joy, "Let them in quickly!"
