Chapter 199 (1/2)

Auntie? Grandma? (2)

So she was here for the necklace after all. The empress dowager seemed to love her little princes very much. After losing the necklace to Ye Lang yesterday, she immediately complained to her grandmother, wanting her to get the necklace back.

Naturally, the empress dowager agreed, preparing to send someone to talk to this Lady Marge. However, she heard Lady Marge was invited to the palace so she had to come over on her own.

Before meeting her, she was still quite angry. After, most of her anger had subsided. Lady Marge was such a perfect, cute girl- she was definitely well-suited to wear the expensive diamond necklace. Although the princess liked it, this Lady still had the right to keep it.

At the same time, looking at Lady Marge’s expression, she felt like they were very close already. She couldn’t help but treat her like family!

Then again, she would never say such a thing just to anyone, not even some of her grandchildren.

Were they really destined to meet like this?

All the officials and ladies-in-waiting were stunned, a little jealous of this Lady Marge. How could she enjoy such a privilege!

This was their first meeting, and they looked so close already. Oh, the wonders she would experience if they met more often!

Did this mean the empress dowager loved kiss-asses? Didn’t Lady Marge just say she looked young?

Then again, this was a celebratory moment. Coldblood Five and Seven would be very proud. At this point, Lady Marge could be invited into the ceremony to get closer to Princess Longji.

All he had to do was to give the empress dowager the necklace, say a few nice things, then everything would be settled! He’s too lucky!

However, Ye Lang didn’t go in that direction but rather ruined the entire scene.

“The necklace? I’ve given it to someone else. Just tell your granddaughter to let it go, she’ll never get it,” said the spirit girl very honestly. She was so direct it startled everyone.

Coldblood Five suddenly recalled the necklace was given to herself. Then again, she didn’t feel like letting go of her necklace. Hearing Ye Lang making the decision for her to keep it, she was very happy.

In the past, Coldblood Five would definitely not let one mere necklace hinder the progress of her assignment. Right now, she wasn’t sure.

If Coldblodo Seven were here, she would’ve stepped on Ye Lang. How could you ruin yet another perfect chance!!

Everyone around thought the same thing. They all wanted to punch this Lady Marge. Her Majesty was already here to ask for the necklace herself, and you refuse her??

“I…” the empress dowager suddenly didn’t know what to say. She didn’t expect Ye Lang to refuse her. She felt like she should be angry, but somehow, she wasn’t. This matter should be settled between themselves.

The young ones should settle matters themselves!

Young ones? Why do I feel like Lady Marge is ‘one of the young ones’? Perhaps I like her a lot, maybe enough to be my granddaughter-in-law? Wait, that’s not a bad idea at all.

The empress dowager stared at the spirit girl, feeling herself liking the girl more and more. The perfection of this Lady Marge was enough to make anyone like her.

From her perspective as a female, perhaps if she were a few decades younger, she would probably have been green with envy. Maybe even hating the girl. How could such a perfect woman exist?

It was different this time. The empress dowager was thinking from a grandmother’s perspective, choosing a wife for her own grandson. This time, obviously it would be very different. The more perfect, the better.

“Auntie, why are you looking at me like that? Don’t beg me, please, it’s not mine anymore. I really can’t promise you anything!” exclaimed the spirit girl, causing everyone to roll their eyes again. As if the empress dowager would BEG her.
