So, she couldn't wait to go to the palace with Dugu Yue. In the unused palace arranged by Dugu Yue, she changed into the new clothes that Cailian had asked her to bring.
In Dugu Yue's words, he looked too disheveled, and his grandmother would worry if she saw him.
Why not change your clothes first and give the Empress Dowager a surprise?
At this moment, Dugu Ling's mind was filled with Chu Yuan, and he couldn't think about anything else. He also didn't think that Dugu Yue would harm him, so he just did whatever Dugu Yue said.
Little did he know, he had unknowingly fallen into Dugu Yue's trap.
When the Empress Dowager saw the two of them come to see her together, she was very happy: "Oh my, this is the first time I have seen you two siblings get along so harmoniously. It seems that growing up has its advantages. You are no longer as willful as before."
"Moon, how are things going with you and that boy from the Shen family?"
It would have been better if the Empress Dowager hadn't asked; once she did, Dugu Yue felt even worse.
She glanced at Dugu Ling beside her with a strange look in her eyes, then knelt down beside the Empress Dowager in a coquettish manner, saying, "I have troubled my grandmother. I am an unfilial child."
The Empress Dowager was quite surprised when the young girl suddenly said such a thing.
When pressed further, Dugu Yue stopped hiding her feelings and smiled sweetly at the Empress Dowager, saying, "Grandmother, you really are something. You know I can't let go, yet you keep saying it."
So, Yue'er came to see her grandmother, actually wanting to see Shen You'an one last time, tell him what was on her mind, and make one last effort.
If he still keeps Yue'er at arm's length this time, then Yue'er might as well give up. Forced relationships never work…
Inner monologue: I just want the melon, I don't care if it's sweet or not!
The Empress Dowager chuckled and patted Dugu Yue's hand. "Alright, alright, your grandmother promised you she would act as matchmaker for you. How about we have Granny Ji summon him to the palace now?"
"Thank you, Grandmother. I knew you were the best." Dugu Yue whispered playfully in the Empress Dowager's ear, "Grandmother, why don't we call Ji Yun over too? I heard she and the Crown Prince had a quarrel yesterday. Look, the Crown Prince seems quite distracted right now. Let them get to know each other better. Maybe Grandmother will be able to hold her great-grandchild next year!"
These words struck a chord with the Empress Dowager.
Without hesitation, he also announced Chu Yuan's arrival.
Here, Shen Youan had just learned that the Crown Prince had entered the palace. As soon as he returned to his residence, the palace eunuchs looked at him with smiles and said, "Young Master Shen, why don't you come with me, Princess Ji Yun?"
