Chu Shengrui agreed heartily to grant Chu Jinnian a marriage present.
After ordering the four to leave, Chu Shengrui and Chu Yunhe proceeded to the empress's palace.
At this time, the empress was already in the palace with pastries and tea prepared, waiting for Chu Shengrui and his son. She even had the maids redo her makeup.
Although her beauty had faded with age, a saying describes that just like a mature woman, she still maintained her charm.
If Concubine Hui could dress up daily with great splendour, why couldn't she, the master of the palace who was just a few years older than Concubine Hui?
Furthermore, she had just received insider information that Chu Shengrui had brought up the matter of the Crown Prince in the main hall.
After discussing the matter of the Crown Prince, he immediately brought Chu Yunhe to see her, showing concern for her discomfort over the past few days. The plans in Chu Shengrui's heart were thus clear.
