A Year's Promise

At this point, Shen Zhuo understood that the Empress Dowager was determined for him to get married.

"Since Grandmother is so kind, it's not good for me to dampen your spirits. May I ask which girl you're talking about?"

Empress Dowager Deng laughed.

"It's a little girl from the Deng family. Her name is Deng Tingxue."

"According to seniority, she should call me Grandaunt. You have to call her Cousin."

"This girl is about the same age as you. She is beautiful and knew when to advance and when to retreat. She would definitely be a virtuous wife in the future."

"There's nothing wrong with you marrying her."

What else did Shen Zhuo not understand?

Empress Dowager Deng wanted to push a daughter from the Deng family to the position of the Crown Princess. When he inherited the throne in the future, Deng Tingxue would be the Empress Dowager.

In this way, the Deng family's status in the royal family could be further stabilized.
