Chapter 293 Meet the Empress Dowager
"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." I comforted him, and suddenly felt that Nangongchen's expression on that day when he readily agreed was... an eyesore.

Nangong Chen, do you hate Nangong Hui so much...

But now, I can't take care of myself anymore, let go of Nangong Hui, and I said to him, "Hui'er, with me here, there will be no marriage." Nangong Chen really went too far.

"Let's go to Fengming Palace." After swearing to him, I took his hand and walked out of Kunning Palace.

"What are you going to Fengming Palace for?"
"To please the Empress Dowager."

Fengming Palace

Nothing has changed, it was like this ten years ago, and it will still be like this ten years later.I stood at the gate of the palace, waiting for the maid's announcement.

As I expected, the maid came back soon and said to me, "I want to report to the empress, the empress dowager said she is not feeling well, please go back first."
Such an excuse has long been used, isn't it?

I looked at the palace maid, "You just say, I'm here to discuss the selection of concubines."

The palace lady went in to report again, and came out after a while to reply, "Empress Empress, the Empress Dowager let you in."

I haven't seen the Empress Dowager for a long time, she doesn't seem to have changed, she still looks unwell, and her hair is not pulled up, but let down.

I knelt on the ground and greeted softly, "Yan Ran greets the Empress Dowager."

"Get up." Her voice was flat, and I deliberately ignored her dislike.stood up.

"I heard from the maid that you want to discuss the selection of concubine with the Ai family?" She was straightforward, not even wanting to talk nonsense.

I nodded, "For the autumn election, now is a good time." My voice was very flat, so that people could not see the fluctuations in my heart.

Nangongchen, you said I forced you, so now I compromise, is that okay?
The Empress Dowager said nothing, she just stared at me, "Yanran, Aijia has thought a lot these days. I feel that Aijia is really embarrassing you."
