Chapter 384

Empress Dowager Zhou was only around fifty years old. Her hair was half black and half white, the corners of her eyes were filled with wrinkles, and her face was pale. She looked much older than her actual age.

It must be because she had been sick for many years.

Although she had a sickly expression, her phoenix eyes gave off a powerful aura. She was normally very strict, not even smiling in front of her own son, Mo Chuan.

Only when she appeared today, her expression was very gentle as she revealed a faint smile to Mo Chuan.

Mo Chuan's heart skipped a beat, but his face did not reveal anything.

"Everyone rise." Empress Dowager Zhou's voice was calm as she slowly spoke.

Only then did everyone stand up, still standing respectfully.

"Mother, your body is sick, so why did you come to the banquet? If your illness worsens, wouldn't your son be worried? "Mo Chuan took the cloak from the Empress Dowager's maid and personally put it on Empress Dowager Zhou.

"Today is the emperor's good day, how could this widow not come? The emperor doesn't need to worry, this widow's old bones can still hold on. "

Empress Dowager Zhou revealed a faint smile and held Mo Chuan's hand as she walked into the hall.

Her seat was placed beside the dragon throne. When Empress Dowager Zhou and the emperor were both seated, everyone in the hall let out a sigh of relief. Especially the young girls, they all had nervous expressions with shy faces. Some were playing with their clothes and some were holding onto their handkerchiefs.

Chen Ning saw that these young girls were all smiling like flowers, but now they had all turned into shy roses. After thinking about it for a bit, she understood the reason.

She couldn't help raising her long eyelashes as she looked over at the bright yellow figure sitting high up on the dragon throne.

Could it be that today's spring banquet was a good day for him to choose a wife?

Her eyes met Mo Chuan's.

Mo Chuan's black eyes flashed with a look that she couldn't understand. He only looked at her before silently looking away. He personally poured wine for Empress Dowager Zhou beside him, not looking at Chen Ning a second time.

He, he, there were so many beautiful flowers here, he couldn't even look at them, so how could he notice her?

Chen Ning's lips curled into a smile. She raised the wine cup in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ning 'er, good alcohol tolerance! I couldn't tell that you liked drinking, how about we compete? "The Eldest Princess was sitting beside her. Seeing her drink so freely, she excitedly looked for her to compete.

She was in high spirits today, especially after seeing the misunderstanding between Chu Shao Yang and Chen Ning disappear. Although she saw that Chen Ning was still coldly ignoring Chu Shao Yang, she thought that there would be a long time in the future. After all, Chu Shao Yang had deeply hurt her heart. In the future, the two of them would be deeply in love and a harmonious couple, just like her and Ye Ting Xuan.

"Ning 'old, Ye." Alright, since the Eldest princess wants it, I will of Of Ning's Ye.

"Eldest, Ning ', Ning's, old, old, I, old, I, Ning's.

Chu,,,,, and, of, Ling, old, old, Chen.,.,., Chu,... of of of Chu, Chen,., Ning., he, he, his face of, he, he, he, he,

Chen Ning's face instantly sunk, "Chu Shao Yang, what do you mean?"

With him by her side, she didn't even feel happy drinking.

"This king is only feeling sorry for you, afraid that you'll get drunk. Although this wine is delicious, drinking too much is bad for your body. Ning 'er, this is a fruit from the other side, it's sweet and juicy. Try it, do you like it?"

Chu Shao Yang cut open a yellow melon and the sweet fragrance filled the air. He personally placed it by Chen Ning's lips.

When the Eldest Princess saw this, she couldn't help looking at Ye Ting Xuan and giving a snort.
