Dressed as the Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife of the Regent

she was very happy.

Especially when she saw Gu Lin Chao, she was obviously stunned, and then, a trace of excitement and delight flashed across her face, “Chao’er.”

“Mother.” Gu Lin Chao bent down and bowed towards her.
The rest of the people also bowed to her and Empress Dowager Guo in turn before taking their respective seats.

The Empress Dowager’s gaze kept falling on Gu Lin Chao.
Her hand was clenched on the arm of the chair, as if she was restraining something, for a long time, before she said, “It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back ……” The corners of her eyes were slightly moist.

Compared to her moved appearance, Gu Lin Chao’s reaction is very calm.
His expression was still cold and a chill existed between his eyebrows as if covered with frost and snow.
He was so cold that people did not dare to approach him.

He sat on the chair, did not respond to anything.
His head was lowered and seemed to be thinking about something.

The Empress Dowager’s mouth was bitter, and she sighed inaudibly.
When she thought of something, her eyes turned to Wen Qi Qi, and a loving smile immediately appeared on her face.
She sized up Wen Qi Qi once, and then said curiously, “Why is Qi Qi dressed like this today?”

While Wen Qi Qi was sizing up Gu Lin Chao and the Empress Dowager, she suddenly heard the Empress Dowager ask about herself and froze for a moment before rising unhurriedly and saying, “In reply to the Empress Dowager’s words, I heard that you like to dress in a light and dignified manner, so I chose a dress in a light color.

After saying that, she sighed in her heart.

Although she did not hate it, she felt that it was better to dress in a lighter color when she came to the palace to meet her elders.
Especially when the other party was the Empress Dowager.

Some elders are not accustomed to young people’s flamboyant appearance, and she thought that the Empress Dowager should be the same.

She did not expect that the Empress Dowager would ask this question.

So this is a bit confusing but there are 2 empress dowagers

Empress Dowager who is Gu Lin Chao’s mother – Let’s call her the Empress Dowager

Empress Dowager Guo who is Gu Heng’s – Mother the widow of the old emperor who was Gu Lin Chao’s brother (I think) which is how Gu Lin Chao is the emperors uncle and regent.
(I forgot what the relationship but when we get to that point I’ll update it)
