Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

"What's good or bad about it? During extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are needed." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Xuanxuan, are you foolish? The outside world says she hasn't consummated her marriage with the War Prince yet. If you seize the opportunity now and become her first man, she will be devoted to you. What does a title matter? What truly matters is what you have genuinely achieved."

A single conversation is worth ten years of study. After hearing this, the Fourth Prince was suddenly enlightened.

"Yes, yes, every woman remembers her first man deeply. If I win her over, I'll naturally win her heart."

As if a sudden realization dawned upon him, the Fourth Prince's face lit up with joy.

"Don't get too arrogant, Xuanxuan. To ensure nothing goes wrong, think twice before acting."

"I've been taught by Empress Mother since I was young, so I naturally understand this principle. Before taking action, I'll definitely think of a foolproof plan."

"Hmm, that's good. Go ahead."

"Yes."

Just as the Fourth Prince turned to leave, the Empress called out, "Wait a moment."

"Is there anything else, Empress Mother?"

"Tonight, find a way to bring Miss Situ to Empress Mother's palace for dinner. At that time, Empress Mother will arrange everything." The Empress was still uneasy about leaving this matter to the Fourth Prince; after much consideration, she decided it was better to handle it directly herself.

With Empress Mother taking care of everything, the Fourth Prince was naturally more than willing and immediately agreed.

Soon, the Fourth Prince went to the Emperor's palace, but was told by the eunuch guarding the gate that Miss Situ had already gone to the Empress Dowager's palace. He then hurried to the Empress Dowager's palace.

Who would have thought that after searching Qiankun Palace thoroughly, he still couldn't find Xuexue's presence, causing the Fourth Prince to be greatly annoyed.

He even disturbed the Empress Dowager who was taking a nap.

"What's all the racket outside?" The Empress Dowager asked softly as she opened her eyes from the bed.

The Old Palace Maid attending her immediately replied, "Your Majesty, it's the Fourth Prince."

"The Fourth Prince is here?"

"Yes."

"Alas! This grandson is becoming more and more unstable; he truly causes concern!" The Empress Dowager sighed. Even though the Empress is keen to support him for the position of Crown Prince, can he truly undertake this great responsibility with his restless personality?

"Children have their own blessings, Empress Dowager needn't worry about such trivial matters."

"That's true, I am old now; let's leave their matters for them to solve themselves. I've struggled for decades to maintain this position as Empress Dowager, and I'm tired. It's time to enjoy my peace."

In her youth, the Empress Dowager also fought tirelessly within the Imperial Palace. Although not filled with the tumult of a real battlefield, it was thrilling and full of peril, bringing her to her current position through several brushes with death. Truly, the position of Empress Dowager did not come easily.

The Old Palace Maid, having spent many years by her side, naturally understood her thoughts: "The Empress Dowager remains eternal in her youth, but it's time to let go; one can't worry about everything."

The Empress Dowager sat up from the bed, and the palace maid immediately came forward, crouching down to help her put on gilded shoes.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Prince continued to make a racket outside, fiercely reprimanding the palace maids.

The Empress Dowager furrowed her brows and said, "Go call the Fourth Prince in."

"Yes," the Old Palace Maid replied and turned to leave.

In the corridor outside, the Fourth Prince was raging at the palace maids, "You useless dogs! How could you not keep a watch on Miss Situ? Now she's gone, what good are you?"

"Mercy, Fourth Prince, Miss Situ said she didn't need us to follow her, she wanted to walk alone." The palace maids also expressed their grievance.
