The last time they entered the palace, Xie Qiao was just an insignificant official's daughter. This time, her status was different, so the treatment was naturally different.
Other than Xie Qiao, there were other official's daughters who entered the palace. Xie Xi was also a legitimate daughter. She was not too young now, so she was naturally qualified to participate in such an occasion.
Xie Qiao brought her along.
Xie Xi hardly attended such events, so she looked a little scared.
Her younger sister looked decent. She was usually quiet and kept her head down, so she did not stand out. Now that she was dressed up, she looked like a beauty. She was likeable.
After entering the palace, Xie Qiao went to greet the Empress.
The Empress seemed to be a little unwell.
