At this moment.
The Empress Dowager looked at Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng.
"Qing'er, Han'er, you've finally deigned to come see this old woman."
Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's voice, Ye Qingcheng released Ye Jingyu and took his hand.
Qin Mohan and his family of three walked to the Empress Dowager and knelt down.
"Grandson and granddaughter-in-law greet the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager glanced at them and snorted coldly.
"Hmph, forget it! If it weren't for this old woman's birthday today, you two probably wouldn't have thought of coming to see me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng immediately knelt forward and said coquettishly, "Oh! Grandmother, Qing'er has been thinking of coming to see you all the time."
"Yes! Grandmother, your grandson often thought of you, even when we were at the border."
"Hmph, you think you miss me? If you really missed me, would you only come to see me now?"
"Oh dear! Your Majesty, Qing'er, it's because I've been busy that I haven't had time."
"Hmph! Stop being so glib with me."
Hehehe!
"You silly girl! Get up!"
"Yes, thank you, Grandmother."
"Thank you, Grandmother."
"etc."
Well?
Ye Qingcheng and Qin Mohan were about to get up.
At this moment.
The Empress Dowager's cold gaze fell on Qin Mohan.
"Qing, get up first."
"Ah? Yes, thank you, Grandmother." Ye Qingcheng replied, then stood up and looked at Qin Mohan.
Qin Mohan looked up at her, then lowered his head again.
The Empress Dowager looked at Qin Mohan for a while, then spoke calmly: "Han'er, do you know your crime?"
Acknowledging guilt?
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan was immediately puzzled, but he assumed that the Empress Dowager was questioning him for not coming to see her, so he spoke up.
"Your Majesty, I know I am guilty."
"Oh! Tell me, what crime have you committed?"
"Grandson, I shouldn't have been back in the capital for so long. It's only now that I'm coming to pay my respects to you."
"You insolent fool! Is this what you're talking about?" The Empress Dowager suddenly shouted after hearing this.
The Empress Dowager's drink.
This really startled Qin Mohan, Ye Qingcheng, and Ye Jingyu.
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly and looked at Qin Mohan.
At this moment, she was very puzzled. What exactly had Qin Mohan done wrong to make the usually kind Empress Dowager so angry?
And Qin Mohan was the same.
He himself was also stunned at this moment.
However, at this time...
Ye Jingyu called out softly.
"Grandmother."
"Oh! My dear great-grandson, come here to me."
The Empress Dowager smiled and waved to Ye Jingyu.
"Yes...Grandmother."
Ye Jingyu responded and then walked over.
The Empress Dowager was very pleased and embraced him.
"My dear great-grandson, did your great-grandmother frighten you just now?"
"No, Grandmother."
"Hehe! That's good."
"Grandmother, what did he do to make you angry?"
Ye Jingyu glanced at Qin Mohan and asked the Empress Dowager.
"Hmph, he has made a terrible mistake, my dear great-grandson, I am so sorry for you and Qing'er!"
Are you sorry to us?
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly, looking quite puzzled.
"Grandmother, why do you say that?"
"Alas! Qing'er, I had no idea... I had no idea that you would suffer so much by marrying Han'er. I am so ashamed!"
marry?
After listening, Ye Qingcheng was puzzled for a moment before finally understanding the Empress Dowager's meaning.
It seems the Empress Dowager knows that she was abandoned by Qin Mohan in the Cold Courtyard for six years!
Qin Mohan seemed to understand as well.
"Grandmother, I know where I went wrong."
"Oh! You know? Then tell me."
“Grandmother, I shouldn’t have done that six years ago, I abandoned Wang…Jiang Qing’er in the cold courtyard and left her and her child for so many years.”
"Hmph, now you know where you went wrong?"
"Yes, grandson was wrong."
"Alas! Han'er, I have arranged a marriage between you and Qing'er. It was agreed upon by your mother and Qing'er's mother long ago. I have made the decision to bestow this marriage upon you."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, both Ye Qingcheng and Qin Mohan exclaimed in shock at the same time.
Immediately afterwards.
The two then exchanged a glance.
"Grandmother, you said that the marriage between your granddaughter-in-law and the prince was arranged by your mother and Consort Rong?"
"That's right."
"This...Grandmother, does this mean my mother and Consort Rong had a very good relationship?"
"Yes! They were best friends even before they got married."
"Good sister?"
"Sigh! Forget it, let's not talk about the past."
"Han'er, I ask you, do you intend to treat Qing'er well? If not, then I will ask your father, the Emperor, to grant you a divorce."
"No...Grandmother, I know I was wrong. I have already explained to Qing'er why I abandoned her in the cold courtyard six years ago."
"Huh? Explain?"
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager looked at Ye Qingcheng.
"Qing'er, is what this brat is saying true?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Prince has indeed explained what you meant to your granddaughter-in-law."
"Oh! So you forgive him?"
"I…"
Ye Qingcheng looked at Qin Mohan.
Seeing this, Qin Mohan pursed his lips: "Your Highness, I..."
"Shut up, let Qing'er decide."
Before Qin Mohan could finish speaking, the Empress Dowager stopped him.
