"The palace maids of the Great Nan Dynasty are indeed remarkable. Their dignity and skills seem to surpass those of a princess, which is truly surprising. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Just now, I heard that you serve the Emperor as a palace maid, and the Emperor favors you greatly.

I suppose you must serve the Emperor very well."

Su Yan detected the insult in her words and frowned with displeasure.

Cang Mo calls her mother, so she must be the Empress Dowager Wen of Cangyue Country.

It is said that the Empress Dowager Wen of Cangyue Country has been ruling from behind the curtain, controlling the entire administration with formidable methods, acting decisively and swiftly.

Seeing her today indeed gives one an overbearing impression.

With a cold laugh, Su Yan said calmly:

"Eating your ruler’s salary, you must worry about your ruler. We servants, of course, must serve the Emperor well. Empress Dowager, aren’t your words a bit superfluous?"

A trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of Empress Dowager Wen as she sneered:

"Indeed a clever girl. Was it not you who just said that the son of Ai Jia wants to damage the relations between the two countries?"

"Hasn’t the Empress Dowager seen everything? It wasn’t me who said the Seventh Prince wanted to damage the relations between the two countries, it was the Seventh Prince himself who brought it up first.

Moreover, when the Seventh Prince was mocking Princess Su Ya, I suppose the Empress Dowager also saw that.

I am really curious, does the Empress Dowager’s inaction mean that you have the intention of damaging the relations between the two countries."

"You!" Empress Dowager Wen was slightly annoyed by her counterattack.

But after all, she had years of experience maneuvering among women, so she quickly regained her composure.

"Mocking? You, a mere palace maid, should choose your words wisely.

My son, Ai Jia’s son, took a liking to the princess of your Great Nan Dynasty’s previous dynasty and wished to show goodwill to her. Is this what you call mocking?

For a man to pursue a woman, has been unchanged since ancient times. Does your Great Nan Dynasty not allow others to have feelings for the women here?

There is surely no national law stating that people from the Great Nan Dynasty and Cangyue Country cannot intermarry, is there?"

"You’re talking nonsense! He is clearly mocking me! I have already made my stance clear to him, yet he continues to pester me. What else if not mocking?"

Princess Su Ya, who had been silently observing, finally couldn’t hold back her anger upon hearing Empress Dowager Wen’s words.

Though she wished to frame Su Yan, her own reputation was also very important.
