The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

The Empress Dowager’s expression was very unpleasant.

She forced a smile: "What do you mean?"

Anning smiled with delight: "I was thinking that I can’t compare to you in experience. You’ve seen many beauties in the harem and know who is loyal and honest, who can serve well. So, I thought I’d ask you for a good palace maid to take back to serve the Prince. Of course, if you could give more than one, that would make me even happier."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding her venomous gaze: "Does Prince Kang know?"

Anning covered her mouth and giggled lightly: "Of course, he knows. I told him I would ask you for people. Our Prince even scolded me, saying it’s not easy for you to train a few who are both good-looking and sensible, yet it ends up benefitting me and the Prince."

Anning gestured and a servant girl came over holding a box.

Anning opened the box: "The Prince and I discussed that we shouldn’t just take your people for nothing, so we specially picked a few presentable items for your enjoyment."

Upon opening the box, it was filled with many treasures.

There were thumb-sized pearls, exquisitely made Liu Li bead bracelets, and various jade ornaments.

Anning placed the box on the table next to the Empress Dowager: "Please be generous and pick a good maid for me, so I can report back to the Prince."

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart. She almost wanted to tear Anning apart, but then she thought that sending a palace maid over wouldn’t be too bad.

She could send one who was well-trained and loyal to her. Firstly, it could win over Prince Kang, and secondly, it might also allow her to gather some information from Prince Kang Mansion and potentially cause some trouble for Princess Kang.
