"Of course, it counts," Yang Mengchen replied with a smile brimming with warmth. "But this concerns the lifelong happiness of the children, and you must also be somewhat aware of my family's situation. Therefore, I need to go back and have a good talk with the Crown Prince and my children. I'll let you know afterwards, how does that sound?"
The Empress Dowager and the Empress didn't find anything wrong with Yang Mengchen's response; on the contrary, they thought it was very appropriate. They smiled and said nothing.
All the ladies expressed their willingness to follow Yang Mengchen's wishes.
For one, the Crown Princess Consort had always valued the opinions of her children, and it was said she would consult with them on everything, especially matters concerning their lifelong affairs.
