Chapter 1390: Ploy

"Commandery Princess, this crown prince consort is truly too abominable," Xu'er griped. "Why does Commandery Princess bear with it every time?"

Commandery Princess Yi'an's eyes flickered as she responded with a cold smile, "We'll be returning to Longevity Palace to pay respects to the queen dowager."

When the hidden guard made his report, the queen dowager was pruning her favorite jasper begonia potted plant.

Recently, this jasper begonia had been wilting. She did not know whether it was because of the weather, but it made the queen dowager's heart ache, and she ordered for it to be transported back from the gardener's so that she could attend to it personally.

When she listened to the hidden guard parrot the crown prince consort and Commandery Princess Yi'an's argument without missing a single word, the queen dowager was stunned before suddenly breaking out in laughter.
