Chapter 997 "Building Connection"

"Li'er, you are so kind. Mother will invite you often to the palace" the empress was once again really satisfied with Li Shi Ying's action. This girl knew how to curry favour. Look she even already planned to get support from these ladies' family as well! 

"Thank you, imperial mother. I'll bring a lot of delicious sweets every time I come" Hearing the empress called her with a nickname, Li Shi Ying couldn't be happier. The empress even called herself 'mother' doesn't this mean she already get her full favour? 

She thought that this empress would be stubborn and refuse to acknowledge her despite whatever she did but it wasn't the case at all. The empress knew what would benefit her and didn't hesitate to change her mind. Really shameless cunning and actually kinda frightening.
