"You can rise."
Xiao Hua carefully stands up. She looks at her father and then at his majesty.
"She is wise and pretty too."
"Thank you, your majesty, it's all her mother's hard work."
The Emperor looked at his side and nodded at someone. Xiao Hua followed his line of sight and saw an old man looking at the emperor.
The Eunuch bowed and went inside to bring someone. A moment later, the eunuch returned with a man and said, "Your majesty, he is here."
The emperor looked at the servant, looking at the floor, and sternly said, " Take her to my mother."
Hearing that, Xiao Hua got scared and hid behind her father.
The emperor saw her clutching her father's robe and peeking, he changed his tone from stern to gentle and told her, " Xiao Hua, this servant of mine will take you to my mother, your father, and I have something to talk about."
Father Li turned to her and gently nodded; silently and gently pushing her towards the servant, affirming that it would be okay.
After reaching the Tranquility Palace, she saw a maid walking with an old woman in a garden.
The servant bowed respectfully and greeted, "Good morning, your majesty. His majesty ordered me to bring the prime minister's daughter to you as they are having a discussion."
"Oh! Where is she?" The Empress Dowager looks confused at the servant.
The servant slightly bowed and stepped aside.
"There you are."
"Take me inside and bring her too."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid replied respectfully.
