However, he found that Cheng Guanyue was still very serious, almost as if he had copied all the words in the book, square and straight.

It wasn't like the three words she wrote during the painting competition, sloppy and elegant.

However, the only difference was that it lacked a few rhythms and had gained a few more craftsmanship.

Therefore, it could only be considered as completing the mission, not a single outstanding lesson.

It was likely that Cheng Guanyue herself knew that it was so, so she seemed to be unsatisfied. She tugged on Wei Shengxiao's sleeves and muttered: "This calligraphy is too ugly, teach me."

Hearing that, Wei Shengxiao nodded: "Alright, I'll teach you."

With that, Wei Shengxiao put down the imperial report in his hand and wrapped her in his embrace, gently holding her wrist to teach her how to write.

Cheng Guanyue was honest enough to let him follow every step he taught his, slowly waving the brush in his hand.

However, when Wei Shengxiao was carefully teaching her, he would always look at her white and rosy face and lose himself in his thoughts.

It was probably because she was too close to him, causing his heart to make the same sound as hers.

Of course, Cheng Guanyue could sense it too, but she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she focused on writing something big.

Just then, when she was writing down the entire piece of paper, Cao An walked into the study at a leisurely pace and reported to her, "Your Highness, the empress dowager has ordered for you to meet her in the palace."

Hearing that, Cheng Guanyue immediately looked at Wei Shengxiao, but there was not a trace of nervousness in her eyes, only a bit of doubt.

Why did the empress dowager suddenly remember to see her?

It couldn't be because of the matter between the Su Clan and the Gu Clan.

"Mother wants to see you. Go!" Wei Shengxiao had already expected that the empress dowager would be impatient, but before he could bring Cheng Guan Yue to meet with her, she had already sent an order for her to be alone.

"En!" Of course, Cheng Guanyue would obey orders and meet with the empress dowager alone.

It was just that she thought that Cao An was the one who had brought her into the palace, but she didn't think that Wei Yanran was actually waiting for her inside the carriage, grabbing her wrist, she said joyously: "Sister-in-Law Xiao Jiu, I specifically begged my mother for a long time, so that I could personally bring you into the palace to play."

"Just for fun?" Cheng Xiyue tilted her head and asked curiously.

"Of course not. Imperial Mother wants to see you in person, but Imperial Mother couldn't wait for Ninth Brother to bring you to her birthday celebration. She couldn't help herself and wanted to see you first." Wei Yanran knew that her mother and Ninth Brother were both suffering. Although they were both mother and son, they could not often meet again, and neither could she allow her mother to peacefully enjoy the bliss of heaven.

Therefore, she thought that in the future, she could let Cheng Guanyue enter the palace and spend more time with her mother, making her lose sight of her son. However, it would be better if she could see her daughter-in-law instead.

Since Wei Yanran was already telling the truth, then there was nothing much to ask.

In any case, the empress dowager couldn't possibly only be chatting when she saw her, right?

One had to know that the Su Family was her mother's family, and she had even killed the Su Family's secret weapon, Su Junji.

No matter what, he had to say a few words to her or reprimand her.

Who would have thought that as soon as Cheng Guanyue entered the empress dowager's palace, he would discover that the empress dowager had already ordered people to make tea and bring a lot of snacks.

"This humble girl, Cheng Guanyue, pays her respects to the empress dowager."

Cheng Guanyue was someone who had been taught by Aunt Zhang about rules and regulations, so her attitude and etiquette were very good. She was not like what was passed down outside, where she was a barbaric, coarse, or robust girl.

"Get up! Sit down and chat with Wailing Home. " The empress dowager, Su Yunning, was slightly off from the way Cheng Guanyue imagined her to be.

She had thought Her Majesty to be a serious and dignified figure, and must have looked cold and aloof.

She hadn't expected that the empress dowager would speak to her with such kindness, a faint peace and tranquility in her eyes.

However, the empress dowager's appearance was indeed very similar to Wei Shengxiao's. Her beauty was peerless, and her skin was extremely well maintained. At a glance, she did not look like a forty to fifty year old woman.

"Mother, I will go down first and wait for Sister-in-Law Xiao Jiu in the Imperial Garden." Wei Yanran said mischievously as she gently massaged the empress dowager's shoulders.

"Alright, I will get her to accompany you earlier." The empress dowager dotingly patted the back of Wei Yanran's hand, readily agreeing.

Wei Yanran also knew that it would definitely not be that simple for her mother to invite Sister-in-Law Xiao Jiu to the palace.

Therefore, in order not to disturb their conversation, it was better for her to leave quickly.

"Wailing Home heard that you and Xiao Jiu met at some Cheng Village or you stole him away and married him first, right?" Su Yunning said as she carefully observed Cheng Guanyue.

"Yes, I was the one who robbed him, but I asked him beforehand and he agreed." Cheng Guanyue was not some bandit or rich person, she naturally wanted to ask for the opinion of her client.

However, she did not hear the profound meaning of the question and confusion in Her Majesty's tone.

Instead, he seriously asked her.

"From the looks of it, Xiao Jiu is very interested in you. After all, he has always been expressing his displeasure on the surface since he was young. Although there are times when he hides it, as his mother, how could I not see the disgust in his eyes?" Furthermore, he did not like being forced to do anything. Ever since the late Emperor died, he disliked being forced to do anything. Even if I had to look forward to it for several years before I managed to bring you back as a daughter-in-law. " When Su Yunning mentioned about Wei Shengxiao, she could not help but reminisce.

That was her first child in October, after all.

He hadn't even been by his side for a moment before the late emperor brought him along and taught him for more than ten years.

With the passing of the late Emperor, the First Prince ascended the throne, and her Little Jiu disappeared for a few years as well.

When he came back, she could hardly recognize him.

She didn't know how she had passed the years he disappeared, but she was very clear that the late emperor was too afraid of her mother's family, so he didn't call Xiao Jiu the crown prince.

The truth proved that the Su Clan had indeed overstepped their boundaries.

If Little Jiu was really allowed to ascend to the throne, it was likely that the Su Clan would become even more arrogant and fearless.

Thus, the First Prince becoming the Emperor was an inevitable choice. There were no other options available to him.

Furthermore, the First Prince was someone who was easily controlled and had a weak mind. If so, it would be convenient for Xiao Jiu to help him from behind.

Unfortunately, the First Prince liked to enjoy life and surrounded him every day while singing and dancing with his flute. In that case, his behavior was getting more and more outrageous.

In the end, it was even Xiao Jiu who held the authority of the imperial court and held him in the air.

However, from the looks of the First Prince, he seemed to be eager for Xiao Jiu to take care of everything for him, and as long as he lived his life honestly, he would not be disturbed by any trifling matters of the imperial government.
