“What the Empress Dowager says is reasonable!” Despite her dissatisfaction, Empress Consort Maria Yasha could only force herself to agree.
Her words carried a hint of reluctance, and the smile on her face appeared somewhat stiff.

Empress Consort Maria Yasha asked, “I wonder, who does the Empress Dowager have in mind?”
Her eyes revealed a hint of vigilance and doubt. Being specially summoned, Empress Consort Maria Yasha did not believe that the Empress Dowager had called her back just to discuss this matter.
The list enumerated the names, family backgrounds, and characteristics of the young women from various families.
Empress Dowager Affina looked forward to Empress Consort Maria Yasha's reaction, hoping she would approve of her choices.
Empress Consort Maria Yasha merely glanced at the list enumerating the young women from various families and nodded slightly.
The young ladies from those families on the list were all very famous in the Imperial City.
Some were born into prestigious families, possessing noble bloodlines and rich family legacies;
Some were exceptionally talented, possessing outstanding accomplishments in art and literature:
Still others were captivatingly beautiful, dazzling stars in the Imperial City's social circles.
If it were before, upon seeing so many outstanding young women, Empress Consort Maria Yasha would surely be overjoyed and happy for Soren.
She might have carefully studied the characteristics of each woman, considering their compatibility with Soren, and selecting the most suitable Crown Princess for Soren.
However, now, Empress Consort Maria Yasha couldn't be happy at all.
Her heart was filled with conflict and helplessness, and the mere thought of choosing a Crown Princess for Soren filled her with a sense of frustration.
Just as she was lost in thought, suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Empress Consort Maria Yasha.
“Empress Dowager, I recently heard news that Soren is having a passionate affair with a female knight in the Northwest. It would be best to ask Soren about this matter first.” Her tone was calm, as if merely stating an ordinary fact.
But a glint of cunning flashed in her eyes, knowing that this news would surely elicit a reaction from the Empress Dowager.
Sure enough, upon hearing this news, the Empress Dowager's expression immediately turned cold.
“Oh, is that so? Empress Consort Maria Yasha, as the Crown Prince's birth mother, why are you only revealing this news now? Don't you know that this is the most important period for Soren to break through to the sixth rank! What if it damages his foundation?”
The Empress Dowager's tone was filled with reproach and worry.
Upon hearing that Soren already had a woman he admired, the Empress Dowager's attitude immediately underwent a huge change.
The Empress Dowager's original eagerness for the Crown Princess selection was now replaced by worry and dissatisfaction.
She worried that Soren would be affected by emotional issues and that his cultivation would be affected, damaging the foundation for his breakthrough to the sixth rank.
The Empress Dowager began to re-examine the matter in her heart, considering how to respond next.
Empress Consort Maria Yasha silently mourned for Soren in her heart, knowing that although her move had solved the current predicament, it had also brought trouble to Soren.
At worst, she would just have to properly compensate Soren these next few nights.
The Empress Dowager frowned and asked, “How much do you know about this matter?”
Empress Consort Maria Yasha gently shook her head and said, “I also heard it from Morey.”
The Empress Dowager's expression became even more gloomy, obviously dissatisfied with this answer.
“Hmph!” The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and said, “Summon the Crown Prince back.”
The head female attendant outside the palace immediately accepted the order and left.
About half an hour later, Soren hurriedly arrived.
As soon as he stepped into the palace, he saw the Empress Dowager with a serious expression. As for Empress Consort Maria Yasha, although there was no change in her appearance, Soren saw guilt in her eyes.
“What is Maria feeling guilty about?” Soren was still puzzled.
The Empress Dowager shouted angrily, “Crown Prince, do you know where you went wrong?”
Soren was immediately shocked. Could it be that his relationship with Empress Consort Maria Yasha had been exposed?
His face turned pale, and his heart was filled with panic.
However, seeing Empress Consort Maria Yasha sitting quietly to the side, Soren quickly calmed down.
“If Maria exposed me, she wouldn't be sitting there peacefully now.”
Soren took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. “Royal Grandmother, this grandson is not clear.” Although his voice was steady, his heart was filled with apprehension.
The Empress Dowager stared intently at Soren and asked, “You have a close relationship with a female knight in the Northwest. Is this true?” Soren quickly lowered his head, his heart tightening, thinking that his relationship with Jennifer had been discovered. He hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “Yes! Royal Grandmother.”
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and continued to ask, “What is her name?”
Soren did not dare to hide anything and answered truthfully, “Jennifer Meyer!”
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly and asked again, “How far has your relationship progressed?”
Soren immediately understood the Empress Dowager's worries and quickly explained, “Royal Grandmother, our relationship has always been very restrained.”
As soon as these words came out, even Empress Consort Maria Yasha's face turned ashen.
What did 'very restrained' mean?
How could Empress Consort Maria Yasha not know?
Their previous relationship hadn't started out with such restraint?
However, as time went on, that restraint was gradually broken.
Now, hearing Soren use the same words to describe his relationship with another woman, a complex emotion surged in Empress Consort Maria Yasha's heart, with jealousy, anger, and helplessness.
She bit her lip tightly, trying to restrain her emotions and not lose her composure in front of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's expression did not improve upon hearing Soren's answer. She was clearly not satisfied with Soren's explanation and began to consider how to handle the matter.
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly and continued to ask, “What is the female knight's talent like? How old is she? What is her cultivation level?”
The Empress Dowager was calculating in her heart. If that female knight's conditions were really that good, she wouldn't mind letting her be a concubine, the future Empress.
After all, a talented and powerful woman was also a valuable asset to the royal family. Soren quickly said, “Jennifer's cultivation talent is the same as that of Royal Sister Korena, both at the peak of the eighth rank, two years older than this grandson, and has just broken through to the seventh rank.”
His tone carried a hint of pride, but also a hint of apprehension, not knowing how the Empress Dowager would react to this.
In fact, the Jennifer in his heart had not yet broken through to the seventh rank, and was only hovering at the peak of the sixth rank.
It's just that she was accumulating resources and consolidating her foundation, otherwise she would have already broken through to the seventh rank.
If he wanted the Empress Dowager to value Jennifer, he could only exaggerate her abilities.
As for whether the Empress Dowager would send someone to investigate, Soren was not worried.
