"To reply esteemed empress dowager, Seventh Prince has come to pay his respects to you."

On the other hand, the empress dowager heard Seventh Prince's smile and said, "Hurry and invite him in." Xiao Qi was serious, she didn't see anyone else, so she told him to come greet her, it was rare for him to see her. Today, the sun has risen from the west! "

As soon as the empress dowager spoke, Seventh Prince entered.

Naturally, he wore a mask on his face as usual.

Hua Yuan turned her face to look at him, just in time to see him kneel down and pay his respects. When she was facing the empress dowager, Seventh Prince's actions had been very gentle and refined!

The voice didn't sound like it. They didn't even sound like the Seventh Prince's own voice.

"Greetings to Royal Grandmother, Grandmother Wan Fujin An!"

The empress dowager seemed very happy to see the Seventh Prince. She pointed at the seat beside her and said, "Come quickly and sit down. This way." Sit down next to This Dowager. "

However, when he looked at the empress dowager's expression, he couldn't help but feel helpless.

He sat down opposite Hua Yuan. From that position, as long as he was seated with a cup of tea, he would be able to observe the movements of Hua Yuan with a slight lift of his gaze.

Hua Yuan even felt as though he'd seen her for a moment.

Sitting upright, he wondered if he was hallucinating.

The empress dowager smiled. "You always say you're busy, even the palace doesn't come often. Why did you come uninvited this time?"

He thought back to the last time he was in the palace. Hua Yuan had met with an accident, and it was this fellow who had come to help her escape. Now that she thought about it, something seemed to have become clearer.

Thinking about it, Xiao Qi was not young anymore, it was time to start a family.

However, from the looks of it, Xiao Qi had taken a fancy to Iris. She looked good, of course, but wasn't it a little too small?

Besides, with his current condition, no matter who's daughter, she wouldn't choose to be with him.

After all, that day, there had been an accident. His face had been ruined, and the most important thing was his heart, which no one could bear! If Hua Yuan was afraid of him, then regardless of how much Little Seven liked Hua Yuan, this marriage wouldn't be possible either.

All of a sudden, the empress dowager wanted to chat with her grandson. "Since Xiao Qi is here, why don't we talk business today?" After all, you just came back from the mansion. "

"Yes."

Hua Yuan naturally understood that the empress dowager had some sort of strategic plan with the Seventh Prince.

And this was something he couldn't know!

After Hua Yuan left, the empress dowager asked, "Tell me the truth. Did you take a fancy to that young lady?"

The Seventh Prince didn't deny it and nodded. "Yes, I like it. So, aren't we trying to find a granddaughter-in-law for you?"

The empress dowager frowned. It was naturally a good thing that Xiao Qi was able to like someone she liked. However, in the end, it was because Hua Yuan was still too young. In the end, her niece was chosen by her grandson. No matter how one put it, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Seeing the empress dowager's expression, he said, "What? Do you think I'm not worthy of Hua Yuan? "

Naturally, he understood his own situation the best.

Many of the noble ladies would rather place the princess in his place than marry him. This was enough to explain the situation. However, he felt that Hua Yuan was different. As for what was different, he couldn't say. He only felt that Hua Yuan was good anywhere. If he stayed with him, he would feel comfortable, and the surging hostility in his heart would disappear without a trace.

Even if Hua Yuan hadn't agreed, he still wouldn't have given up on such a person who was so compatible with him.

The empress dowager didn't want Hua Yuan to marry him, so she naturally knew the real reason. However, he wouldn't say it out loud. The empress dowager glared at the Seventh Prince several times. "You child, why are you always like this?" Even if you are not worthy of Mu Er, you will never be like that in my heart. Furthermore, aren't you unworthy of her? My Little Seven is more powerful than anyone else! "

Facing such praise, the Seventh Prince merely smiled.

In the evening, the Seventh Prince and Hua Yuan dined together at the Empress Dowager's place.

Hua Yuan always felt that the empress dowager was looking at her with a slightly different expression.

Her gaze kept scanning back and forth between them, making it difficult for her to eat. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, just what are you looking at right now?"

The empress dowager coughed twice. "It's nothing, it's nothing." I just think our Iris is a grown-up, and she's getting better and better looking. "

Hua Yuan smiled but did not reply.

The next day, the Empress gathered all the ladies of the household, even if the ministers were unwilling. Even the empress dowager didn't want to do it, but she had no choice. The empress dowager was worried out of her mind as well. In short, she had to gather the people first!

Hua Yuan accompanied the empress dowager as she finished her meal. Afterwards, the young ladies of each palace entered the palace one by one.

Du Qiao followed the Grand Princess in. When she saw Hua Yuan, she hopped over and said, "Li'er, mother said that she knew about the matters of the Duke of Ling's residence. However, mother and father will help. We won't let Duke Ling have anything to do with it. "

Hua Yuan was even more touched.

Following that, there were also a few people that Hua Yuan did not usually interact with.

Among them, there was a woman who seemed to be somewhat resentful when she looked at Hua Yuan.

Hua Yuan looked at it for a while and finally came to a realization. That person was the Tang Clan's daughter.

However, Hua Yuan did not understand why the Tang Clan's daughter hated him to such an extent.

It just so happened that Luo Meng was standing right next to Hua Yuan. Hua Yuan then asked, "Sister Luo, do you know anything about this young miss of the Tang Clan?"

Luo Meng followed Hua Yuan's gaze, and after a moment, the corners of her lips curled up in a cold smile. She had a good impression of Hua Yuan, so she said, "How could I know someone like him? Next time, his sister would also have to stay far away from him. Sister Iris is wondering why she hates you so much, isn't she? "

Hua Yuan nodded. She had been reborn, although she had done quite a few things. Except for Princess Yun Xin and Hua Yufei, she had never offended anyone. It was really hard for her to imagine why this person would look at her with such hatred!

Luo Meng said, "This young miss of the Tang family is quite capable! She originally wanted to be your sister-in-law, so she didn't succeed in the end. You're to blame for that! Then, she looked at your cousin, the Duke of Ling's mansion. But at this moment, Duke Ling was in such a dangerous situation. "I don't know who she is looking at."

Hua Yuan nodded in understanding.

Luo Meng raised her head and glanced at her. Tang Ling's demeanor back then was the same as Hua Yuan's older sister, Hua Yufei. She was so delicate that her cousin hated her!

Later on, his cousin also knew that Tang Ling's personality was different, so he wanted to make up with Luo Meng. However, even though she had forgiven her cousin for the pride of being a daughter of the Luo Meng Family, the relationship between the two of them would never return to how it was in the past.

Therefore, the first time she saw Hua Yufei, she felt extremely disgusted!

From the looks of it, her disgust was quite reasonable.

Du Qiao pulled Hua Yuan along and asked, "Hey, were you talking to your sister just now?"

"That's right, I don't really know that Tang Clan's young miss, so I wanted to ask who she was!"

Du Qiao only nodded his head, "I don't like Tang Ling. Oh right, I just found a familiar face here."

Hua Yuan asked, "Eh? "Who is it?"

Hua Yuan guessed that Hua Yufei had also come.
