The meeting lasted for quite some time as Wang Wei had many things to review before everyone was dismissed. However, one person remained behind to have a private conversation with Wang Wei: it was Empress Dong Lifen.
Wang Wei moved his head to his side and looked at her still sitting in her Phoenix Throne and asked, "Do you have anything else to say to me?"
Dong Lifen then stood up, bowed properly and said, "I would like to thank your majesty for keeping his words and treating the people as well as you do."
Wang Wei waved his hand and replied, "Rise. There is no need to thank me. As I said before, this is just a trial to me and doing so will benefit me greatly."
"That may be true, your majesty," answered Dong Lifen, still in the bowing posture. "However, I have seen the information about the other kingdoms and dynasties. None of your peers spent so much time and effort on the livelihood of the people."
