The Empress Dowager also experienced her youth, the times when mutual love was so intense that she hated to be apart even for a moment. Therefore, despite her concerns, she could understand the matter at hand.
Maid Zhou also smiled upon hearing this, continuing the Empress Dowager's train of thought, "The Empress Dowager must have guessed correctly, it's roughly like that."
As they were speaking, someone outside reported that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort had arrived.
The Empress Dowager was startled and glanced at the sky. Although surprised that they were visiting at this hour, she quickly said, "Please invite them in quickly!"
Maid Zhou immediately went out to receive them.
Yun Chi and Hua Yan entered Ninghe Palace, paying their respects to the Empress Dowager, who quickly waved her hand, "Please, dispense with the formalities. It's so late, what brings you here at this time?"
