Luo Qiong felt uneasy and uncertain about why the Empress Dowager had suddenly become so kind to her, and seeing her mother-in-law only knowing how to giggle foolishly, she had no choice but to pretend to be obedient and keep her company.
"By the way," the Empress Dowager recalled, "hasn't the Countess of Shengping been married into the Prince Residence for almost half a year now? Has she brought any good news?"
The sudden mention of Daohua by the Empress Dowager caused everyone present to perk up in spirit.
Princess Consort Ma immediately replied, "Not yet."
Old Princess Consort Yong thought about how the Prince had asked her to look after the Countess of Shengping and, after considering for a moment, smiled and said, "Yeyang and his young wife are still young. They've only been married for less than half a year; there's no rush."
