Chapter 116 The Old Lady's Probe in the Palace 1

"Why hasn't Liancheng been coming to the palace lately? What is he busy with? He should visit me and the Emperor occasionally instead of staying in the residence all day, playing the zither and painting. Once you move into the palace to accompany me, you can paint however you like. There's no rush." The Empress Dowager seemed to be chatting casually, but her words carried an implication.

"Doesn't Grandmother know Liancheng's nature best?" Mo Liancheng evaded with a light statement.

"Precisely because I know your nature so well, I am concerned for you. I trust you won't disappoint me, correct?"

"Is Grandmother trying to force me?"

"Liancheng, are you intentionally trying to upset me today?" The Empress Dowager showed a hint of anger.

"Grandmother, the tea has cooled down. Why not have a sip to moisten your throat before we continue?" Mo Liancheng pointed to the teacup beside the Empress Dowager, deliberately shifting the topic.
