During lunch.
The nanny came to announce, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince has arrived."
Mu Chenshuang was slightly taken aback. What was Feng Mozhan doing coming to see the Empress Dowager at this time?
"Let him in!"
"yes."
soon.
A man appeared, dressed in a bewitching purple brocade robe. His dark hair was casually tied up with a jade hairpin. He had a pair of captivating phoenix eyes and a face as delicate and beautiful as a woman's, yet he also possessed a masculine spirit.
Feng Mo Ran's deep eyes swept over Mu Chen Shuang, and Mu Chen Shuang noticed his gaze that he had cast at her for a moment.
"Grandson pays respects to His Majesty the Empress."
The Empress Dowager raised her hand, "No need for formalities."
"Thank you, Grandmother."
"What business does Mo Ran have with me today?"
Feng Mo Ran explained, "My grandson happened to obtain a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and came here specifically to present it to his grandmother."
After he finished speaking, the eunuch behind him presented the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand.
The Empress Dowager had also consumed many expensive tonics, and she could tell at a glance that this Ganoderma lucidum was indeed of superior quality.
"I hope that after consuming Ganoderma lucidum, Grandmother, you will live a long and healthy life, reaching the age of 100."
Upon hearing Feng Mo Ran's words, the Empress Dowager smiled kindly, "Very good, very good. Mo Ran has such filial piety, and Grandmother is very pleased. You haven't had lunch yet, have you? You can stay and have lunch with us."
"Thank you, Grandmother."
The Empress Dowager had a second bowl and chopsticks added.
Feng Mo Ran sat opposite Mu Chen Shuang. "I didn't expect Princess Wei Yang to be here today. She has become even more radiant in the few days I've seen her."
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened slightly, but she managed to control her emotions and smiled faintly, "Second Prince, you flatter me."
"Mo Ran, have you met Princess Weiyang before?"
In the Empress Dowager's memory, Mu Chenshuang and Feng Mozhan did not have much interaction.
Feng Mo Ran replied to the Empress Dowager, "We have met a few times."
"I see. But Mo Ran is right. Shuang'er does look even better and has a rosy complexion today than before."
When the Empress Dowager praised her like that, Mu Chenshuang felt inexplicably nervous. That kind of thing could indeed nourish a woman's complexion, and since she was pregnant now, her pregnancy glow would gradually become apparent.
"Your Majesty, please stop teasing Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang showed a hint of shyness.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said nothing more.
After lunch.
Mu Chenshuang and Feng Mozhan took their leave and departed from Cining Palace.
After the two left.
The Empress Dowager suddenly said, "In my opinion, Shuang'er and Mo Ran are quite a good match."
The old nanny Yun replied, "Judging from the Second Prince's appearance alone, he is indeed no worse than Crown Prince Junheng. It's just a pity that the Second Prince is just a powerless and idle prince. But if we were to betroth Princess Weiyang to the Second Prince, I'm afraid the Marquis would find it difficult to agree."
How could Granny Yun not understand the meaning behind the Empress Dowager's words? Although in terms of rank, it was appropriate for Princess Weiyang to be betrothed to the Second Prince, in terms of power, the Second Prince was not worthy of Princess Weiyang at all.
The Empress Dowager sighed, thinking to herself that she could discuss this matter with the Emperor.
"The matter between Princess Weiyang and Crown Prince Junheng has spread throughout the court and the public these past two days," Feng Mozhan suddenly said.
"The fact that Crown Prince Junheng is willing to use the mines as a condition for marrying you shows that he is truly deeply in love with the princess."
Mu Chenshuang said in a calm tone, "So what exactly is the Second Prince trying to say when he tells me this?"
Feng Mo Ran smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, I just think that Princess Weiyang is truly an extraordinary person, destined to become the Crown Princess."
Mu Chenshuang smiled, but her gaze toward Feng Mozhan turned colder. "I didn't realize the Second Prince was so good at making jokes."
