"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Second Prince is still without a princess consort. My daughter has been thinking of him these days. I wonder if there is any chance that she will catch his eye?"

She was the wife of a high-ranking official, and her daughter, as the legitimate daughter of the high-ranking official, naturally deserved this status.

Therefore, she went straight to the point and wasn't worried that the Empress would refuse.

The Empress was quite frightened by these words before she could even hold the rouge firmly in her hand.

I recalled Lin Wanwan's inner thoughts.

Her smile froze.

“Granny Ji, I think this rouge is not suitable for me. Take it back and return it to Madam Shen.”

Lady Shen did not expect the Empress to return the rouge to her directly.

His face was visibly pale. "Your Majesty, what... what does this mean?"

"This Rouge Lady specifically asked her master, and he said it can be used on any skin type."

The Empress tenderly placed the rouge in Granny Ji's hands.

"Madam Shen is too kind. My skin is quite sensitive, and this rouge is quite expensive. Madam Shen, please keep it for yourself. I am tired."

With a smile, Granny Ji returned the rouge to Madam Shen, and said apologetically:

"I'm so sorry, Madam Shen. When Madam Lin came today, Her Majesty was already a little tired and wanted to rest. But I was afraid you would be waiting too long, so I summoned you."

"Look, Her Majesty is now..."

Lady Shen did not understand the Empress's meaning.

But this made her realize that the Empress did not intend to form a marriage alliance with her Minister's family.

She took back the rouge, her face extremely pale, and bowed as she withdrew.

After everyone left.

The Empress then patted her chest in relief.

“Granny Ji, from now on, I will refuse all visits from the wives of officials who have daughters.”

Granny Ji was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

How will the Empress explain this to Granny Ji?

She overheard another part of my mind, saying that her mortal enemy was her future daughter-in-law?

"I finally managed to reunite with Junli, and I want to wait a few years before we get married."

Granny Ji suddenly realized.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

It's not a big deal for a man to get married later in life.

The Empress remembered that 'mortal enemy'.

I was terrified.

But thinking about what Wanwan had said today about the princess's daughter, she was somewhat confused.

Who exactly is Wanwan? The princess's daughter has been missing for many years, so how could she possibly meet the princess's daughter?

She probably needs to secretly sound out the princess's opinion.
