Gu Lan also greeted Rong Miaoyan.
Empress Su noticed the interaction between the two, her gaze gentle yet surprised, giving Gu Lan a few more glances.
This Young Master Gu was indeed quite handsome.
Gu Lan's gaze casually swept over, also observing Empress Su next to Miaoyan, and suddenly frowned.
Previously, Concubine Yi had mentioned to her that Empress Su's real name was Su Zhixue, the eldest daughter of the old Prime Minister Su and a niece of Empress Dowager Su. Because she had devoted herself to a life of vegetarianism and chanting prayers for many years, all the affairs of the harem were left to the Empress Dowager and Consort Qian, making her presence in the palace quite low-key.
However, Su Zhixue's status was noble, and she was also the foster mother of the Crown Prince. Even if she neither fought nor contended, her position as Empress remained unshakeable.
The Empress in front of her indeed matched the image in her mind, even surpassing it.
