Chapter 399: Disdain

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager was not bothered by the gazes of others and was extremely satisfied with the birthday gift from Chu Nanli.

"Not bad, you have a heart, child."

Her praise for Chu Nanli made many people feel extremely indignant.

But those people were not fools and wouldn't anger the Empress Dowager at such a time.

"This common girl boldly asks for a favor from the Empress Dowager."

No sooner had Chu Nanli spoken than the Empress Dowager guessed her intention.

"You would like Her Highness to bestow some gifts to those children, wouldn't you?"

The Empress Dowager looked at her with a beaming smile, which to others, signified her special regard for Chu Nanli.

In fact, the Empress Dowager was well aware of Chu Nanli's recent actions.

Especially the matter of Jici Academy.

Because of the divorce, she had many dissatisfactions with Chu Nanli.

No matter what Ye Yunting did wrong, he was her own grandson, and naturally, she would not be too harsh on him.
