CHAPTER 1503: CHAPTER 1510 EMPRESS DOWAGER MO’S TRANSFORMATION (5)

Stepping back a bit, even if The Emperor would forever stay by Empress’s side alone, those selected palace maidens could at least give her some annoyance and disgust her.

The moment she thinks of Empress’s frustrated and furious demeanor upon her return, finding herself surrounded by beauties, her heart feels incredibly comfortable, as if she had vented all the anger she once received from the Empress.

However, such scheming thoughts dissipated into thin air the moment she saw Cai Wei take care of Li Kaifeng.

Now, she dared not make any mischief anymore, even regretting the Imperial Edict of Selection she had already issued, had she known that this daughter-in-law was so awesome, she would have contentedly been a good mother-in-law, why bother causing her son unhappiness, daughter-in-law dissatisfaction, and making herself look like "Pig Bajie Looking in the Mirror", detested by everyone!

Alas, later on, she must find a way to properly explain to her daughter-in-law.

Cai Wei entered, wearing a bright yellow gold silk round neck robe with phoenix and peony pattern, the collar and cuffs were lined with mink fur, the robe reaching to the ground, inside was a long crimson skirt, on her head she wore a red jade dew drop phoenix head hairpin, with a small phoenix hairpin secured on each temple, a folded silk woven palace flower, ruby pomegranate earrings set in pure gold, and a pair of red jade bracelets on her wrists, her attire was very formal and different from her usual simple style, showing that she took the meeting with her mother-in-law very seriously, and did not take her mother-in-law lightly.

Empress Dowager Mo was very satisfied, not to mention that Cai Wei came to see her in such a formal dress, even if she had come casually, she could not dare to fault her anymore.

Cai Wei performed the proper rites to Empress Dowager Mo and said, "This concubine has been away from the Palace for many days, and today specially comes to pay respects to Imperial Mother, and incidentally to tell Imperial Mother about where this concubine has been these days."

Empress Dowager Mo politely said, "Rise, it’s good that you are back. Thank goodness you all returned in time, eventually preventing The Wolfish Ambition of Li Kaifeng from succeeding. As for where you and The Emperor went? That is The couple’s own business, you don’t need to tell me."

Upon hearing this, Cai Wei was surprised; she thought that Empress Dowager Mo would aggressively inquire about her whereabouts these past few months, and she had already prepared her excuses for her absence. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager showed no interest in asking or listening.

She carefully observed Empress Dowager Mo, and found that she was not being sarcastic but was looking at her very sincerely, with even a touch of affection in her expressions.

Cai Wei was secretly pleased in her heart, it turned out that after this morning’s harrowing events, the Empress Dowager had truly accepted her as a daughter-in-law, no longer opposing and excluding her. This made her very happy; although she did not care about Empress Dowager Mo’s attitude towards her, she could not ignore her man’s feelings, being able to get along peacefully with his mother would bring great comfort to her man, even if he said nothing.

She smiled and said in a humble and gentle manner, "Even if Imperial Mother does not wish to listen, this concubine still wants to have a chat with you, being away from home for so long, there hasn’t been anyone to talk intimately with this concubine."

This sentence immediately closed the distance between the two. Seeing Cai Wei act this way, Empress Dowager Mo’s typically indifferent face broke into a smile, and she said, "You speak, Imperial Mother is listening..."

Cai Wei sat next to Empress Dowager Mo and shared the stories she had prepared earlier. She spoke of her journey to Xianbei to kill Queen Jia, but she did not mention the event of being kidnapped by Saknu. She simply stated that Jia was not good at fighting, and that after several months of battling with her using Dark Arts, she finally managed to kill her. She also added that she took a trip to Liaodan to capture Nangong Shi, to eliminate Future Troubles.

The storylines, though greatly simplified by Cai Wei repeatedly, still sounded astonishing to Empress Dowager Mo’s ears.

Just imagine, riding a Tiger for thousands of miles, entering the Xianbei Palace alone, clashing with Queen Jia who possessed Dark Arts, and then heading to Liaodan to capture Nangong Shi...
