Chapter 119: The Bracelet My Great-Grandmother Gave Me

"Princess Consort Ling truly looks splendid. How many months into the pregnancy are you? Are you experiencing any discomfort?"

Murong Jiu stepped forward to perform a curtsy and was helped up by the Old Nanny beside the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager kindly sized her up and then gestured for her to come closer for a detailed inquiry.

She responded to each question, and the Empress Dowager patted her hand, took off a green bracelet from her wrist, and placed it on Murong Jiu's, praising her:

"I am old, and such a colored bracelet should adorn your white, tender wrist like a spring onion."

Murong Jiu repeatedly expressed her thanks, recalling in her previous life, it was also during the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet that the Empress Dowager gave her a bracelet just like this one, identical in every way.
