In the afternoon, Old Madam and the five young ladies had just returned from the palace. Various emotions aside for the moment, Yang Liu privately said to Susu, "The Lady doesn't look like someone in her thirties at all. Not only is she beautiful, but she also lacks the airs of an Imperial Concubine. She personally met with Nanny Qin and me, and offered quite a few gifts. The Little Princess, though young, is already a beauty in the making, with an aura befitting a daughter of heaven!"
Susu was curious about the Lady and the Princess as well, but the idea of entering the palace was something she would never consider!
Old Madam came out of the palace appearing pleased, but in reality, she had shed many tears in private, only speaking of the palace as a "place unfit for people to see," and then she perked up to handle household matters.
