After much effort, Meng Qingqian finally managed to explain things clearly to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was confused.
"Qingqian, none of what you're saying will stop you from marrying He Yunxiao."
Meng Qingqian became anxious, "Mother, you don't understand. I don't like He Yunxiao, so why would I marry him?"
When the Empress Dowager heard her daughter say that, her expression immediately became quite interesting.

Meng Qingqian said coldly, "Mother! This is a matter of national importance, and has nothing to do with personal feelings!"
"Alright, alright, Mother, I won't say anymore. Tomorrow I'll have Li Gongqin go talk to He Yuanhao alone."
