Chapter 191.1 - Won't survive the night
Feng Yege had taken a look at the portraits so the empress dowager’s eyes were filled with laughter.
He wasn’t completely stuck on that miss from the Lou family.
When Feng Yege finished looking at them, the empress dowager waved her hand at the senior aides to leave.
“Is there anyone you like?”
“... it’s that Ye’s fortune is thin. These girls are all very good but I haven’t decided on anyone, I want to wait a few more years.”
“What thin fortune? With me here, how could you suffer at all?!”
“Empress dowager …” Feng Yege laughed bitterly, “Do you really not know my heart?”
The empress dowager froze before her face showed a bit of anger.
Did he really only want that girl from the Lou family?
“I don’t know! If you think they’re all great then first, we’ll see. All of them are gentle, warm and understand decorum. Even though that person from the Lou family is good, she’s too close with the third prince. Adding onto those rumours swirling around her, I don’t want people to think of you as a joke, I don’t want you to suffer.”
“Ye, doesn’t feel any suffering.” Feng Yege’s eyes were lonely, “Ye knows that the empress dowager worries, but empress dowager … my personality is like my father’s.”
Once Feng Yege said this, the empress dowager went completely silent.
After a long time did she finally support her forehead with her hand, “This child, you, how could you be so troublesome.”
“The empress dowager, please forgive me, just give me some more time …” Feng Yege’s lowered eyes were a bit gloomy as they slowly grew darker.
They were so dark, not a bit of light could be found in them.
Back then, the old prince had also remained single his whole life, never marrying.
He was in love with someone he shouldn’t have been in love with, but who knew that this child would also ….
Just thinking of how decisive the old prince was back then, made her fear that if she forced Feng Yege too much, he might follow the old prince’s path.
The empress dowager helplessly waved her hands, “I’ve grown old, I can’t even manage you any more.”
“Thank you empress dowager for your blessing.” Feng Yege looked up, there was a bit of laughter in the bottom of his eyes.
The empress dowager looked pointedly at him, “You, this child! Bless what? No matter who it is, it can’t be that Lou family’s girl! In a few days, I heard that Xiliang country’s envoy will be coming, along with a princess. If you can’t find someone from Dongyu country, then I’ll support you marrying someone from another country!”
Feng Yege froze, before seeing the empress dowager’s eyes on him, he slowly nodded his head.
The empress dowager then laughed, “That’s right!”
To the side, the Countess of Chaoxia heard this and her whole body grew cold.
Another country’s?
Why can’t the empress dowager put her eyes on her?
She also liked brother Ye!
When Feng Yege left Renshou palace, the Countess of Chaoxia pleaded with the empress dowager to let Feng Yege send her home.
She thought about how considerate the Countess of Chaoxia had been lately and agreed.
She was her granddaughter after all, so she couldn’t be truly heartless towards her.
Feng Yege didn’t reject her but his eyes treated the Countess of Chaoxia like a passer-by.
When he left the palace, the Countess of Chaoxia quickly climbed onto Feng Yege’s carriage and sat by a corner.
Feng Yege lifted up his long robe and also stepped inside.
When he sat down, his aura made it hard to breathe.
The Countess of Chaoxia’s eyes reddened.
Even though Feng Yege’s attitude was something that she was expecting, it was still hard on her to accept.
“Brother Ye …” They were half way there when the Countess of Chaoxia finally broke the silence between them.
She lowered her head, her hands gripping her handkerchief as a teardrop fell on the back of her hand.
Feng Yege lifted an eyelid and swept his eyes at her before looking at the back of her hand that grew increasingly wet.
He answered her non-committedly.
“Can’t you forgive me? Yiren knows she’s wrong.” The Countess of Chaoxia received Feng Yege’s reply and suddenly lifted up her head.
Her eyes were filled with joy.

TL note:
News at 6: Countess of Chaoxia is still delusional as heck.
Old prince - Feng Yege’s father, whose title he inherited.
