"This..." The leading palace maid hesitated for a moment, "When the Empress Dowager saw her own grandson, she was naturally overjoyed and went forward to embrace the elder princess. The elder princess was also sweet-mouthed, calling her 'grandma', and at that time, the Empress Dowager's smile was so wide it couldn't close. When the Consort arrived, she said she wanted to hold the princess as well. The elder princess isn't shy with strangers, so she let the Consort hold her. But who knew, after seeing the consort, she inexplicably started calling her 'sister'."
The Empress Dowager and the Consort are of the same generation, both having served the late Emperor, and if we really consider their ages, there's at most a two to three-year difference.
They say children speak their minds; to be called 'grandma' by one, and 'sister' by another, when such comparisons are made, it would anger any woman to death.
