Although the hushed voices of praise around her were not loud, Yi’an enjoyed it immensely.

They were praising her with all their might. Sure enough, she was exceptional.

As she had said, she completely did not pale in comparison to that crown prince consort. It was just unfortunate that His Highness the Crown Prince maintained his distance from beginning to end and was unwilling to look at her squarely.

Otherwise, she would definitely let him know her merits.

Commandery Princess Yi’an maintained an appropriate smile and walked up gracefully to the bottom of the steps. After standing still, she docilely saluted the queen dowager and spoke softly, “Your Majesty the Queen Dowager wishes Your Majesty the Queen Dowager good fortune and a long life. Yi’an has specially prepared a little something for the queen dowager to show my filial devotion.”

Behind her, Xu’er, who was lowering her head in curtsy, hastily raised a red tray above her head. An exquisite crimson hundred-longevity scroll rested upon it and was shown overtly to everyone present.

“Ho, the commandery princess personally embroidered a hundred-longevity scroll for Her Majesty the Queen Dowager.”

“As expected, her filial devotion is commendable!”

“Look at this hundred-longevity scroll that is several meters long. The embroidery work is of the best quality. It is evident at a glance that she put in much time and effort.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Eh? It looks like it is not only this hundred-longevity scroll. There is also a porcelain bottle.”

Yi’an could not help but reveal a proud expression when she heard everyone mentioning the porcelain bottle on the tray. “There is a high-rank prolongation pill inside the porcelain bottle. Yi’an hopes that it will be useful to Your Majesty the Queen Dowager.”

“Wow.” Sounds of discussion filled the main hall.

“Could it be that it was Commandery Princess Yi’an who had successfully bid on the prolongation pill for an astronomical price at the House of Treasures last time!”

“Yo, I had heard about that too!”

Everyone praised Commandery Princess Yi’an while smiling. Her filial devotions could move the heavens. In order to extend Her Majesty the Queen Dowager’s lifespan, she did not hesitate to purchase a prolongation pill at an astronomical price!

Consuming a prolongation pill actually did not make much of a difference to Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, as she was already at the phenomenal success rank of level-14 mystic cultivation.

Although the prolongation pill was a high-rank pill, its effects were less pronounced for cultivators with a higher cultivation.

Besides, it was said that this prolongation pill that the House of Treasures had auctioned was merely a mid-grade pill.

The medicinal effects diverged widely depending on the pill’s grade.

If Her Majesty the Queen Dowager were to take this prolongation pill, her lifespan would extend for at least one or two more years. However, this was considered time that she got for free.

As a cultivator, who did not wish to have a longer lifespan so as to have more time to break through to the next level?

Everyone’s gazes turned fervent upon hearing that it was a prolongation pill.

Some of the invited patriarchs from the patrician families, especially, had fixed their bright gazes on the porcelain bottle.

The junior manager eunuch took the tray and walked up the steps before respectfully presenting the hundred-longevity scroll and the porcelain bottle to the queen dowager.

The queen dowager’s eyes flickered, and she looked at Commandery Princess Yi’an indifferently before smiling with a nod. “You’ve taken a lot of trouble.”

These words were polite and distant, and it made Yi’an a bit uncomfortable.

She then thought it over. Once the queen dowager consumed this prolongation pill and benefited from it, the queen dowager naturally would treat her as well as she did in the past.

This distant manner was only temporary!

“Everyone seems to be a bit curious about the prolongation pill. Since this is so, then pass it around for everyone’s perusal.”

“Yes, Queen Dowager.” The junior manager eunuch quickly walked down the steps again while holding the red tray.

Everyone was overjoyed, and they passed around the porcelain bottle to examine the pill inside.

The little stoic was startled.

Meanwhile, someone smiled while turning to look at the pill patrician family’s patriarch and its two young sirs.
