Empress Dowager Yuan pursed her lips into a hard line. The bamboo canopy above her cast a faint shadow on her graceful face.
"Don't talk nonsense." Empress Dowager Yuan suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and forced a smile. "Miss Gu is already engaged!"
Empress Dowager Yuan stared steadily at Kang Wang, her right hand gripping the armrest tighter.
She had come to Prince Jing's mansion today to choose a consort for her son and also to see Gu Yunrong. She planned to take a step back and let this girl be his secondary consort so as to fulfill her son's wish.
But now, Empress Dowager Yuan had changed her mind and disliked Gu Yunrong even more.
Her son had great talent and was someone who would rule the world in the future. As a king, he could not be fascinated by a woman.
