Chapter 28 Leaving the Palace
Nanny Du immediately stepped forward and knelt down.
"This servant deserves death, this servant has spoken out of turn." Nanny Du was an old nanny from the palace, and even more so, the most capable right-hand person beside Empress Dowager Yan Ping. As she knelt, the entire room followed suit.
Empress Dowager Yan Ping did not, as usual, tell everyone to rise, but instead looked at Prince Duan.
In his forties, still personifying distinguished grace, isn’t there a single girl from the many respectable families within Nanzheng State that you find suitable?.
Empress Dowager Yan Ping took a deep breath, angry, but what use was there in anger? If it had been of any use, it wouldn’t have come to this point today.
"Boding, the legitimate second young miss of the Founding County Duke’s Family has delayed her marriage due to the old duke’s passing. I see that the girl is quite exceptional, possessing the valor of the Fu Feng, Ma Family." After all these years, how many times has it been now? A prince, cannot possibly stay a widower for that lowly woman, can he?
"Mother, I have no such plans at the moment." Were these the conditions for allowing Nian Ru to stay for a while?
Empress Dowager Yan Ping wished she could hurl the tea in her hand, Nanny Du scurried forward on her knees to block in front of Prince Duan.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, as the Prince has not yet seen the second young miss of the duke’s family, why not meet her first? Once he sees this second miss, he will surely know that you are sincerely considering for Prince Duan," Nanny Du quickly said, trying to prevent another argument.
Prince Duan looked up, silently glancing at Empress Dowager Yan Ping, weighing the pros and cons, a own son was also a pawn in hand.
"Mother, your son has matters to attend to and must take his leave." Having said that, he left Xingqing Hall without looking back.
