To the Empress Dowager, the fact that Hua Yan could conceive was truly an unexpected delight.
She had been most disgusted by this very point, but now that Yun Chi had put it thus, she finally felt a sigh of relief in her heart.
She looked at Yun Chi, "You're not fooling me? Is it really so?"
Yun Chi shook his head, smiling faintly, "Does the Empress Dowager not trust me? How could I fool you? If it is, it is; if not, it is not."
The Empress Dowager thought about it and agreed, considering Yun Chi's obstinance to this point, that with the matter between him and Hua Yan already settled, there was no need for him to deceive her.
Immediately she felt much consoled in her heart, "As long as she's not infertile, it's fine."
Yun Chi said with a smile, "Emperor Taizu led his life without establishing an Empress. I have set my heart on Hua Yan, and she will be the one. Even if she were infertile, I would still choose her as my consort. And for the rest of my life, she alone."
