Chapter 716: Who’s This Kid? She’s So Pretty

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Rubbing her forehead, the empress dowager turned around to see all the astonished faces, which made her jump. “What are all these people doing here?”

“Mother —”

Emperor Wu went up to her and held her hands. “Mother, how do you feel? Any pain?”

The empress dowager considered for a moment. “Pain? No, I feel fine.”

“Mother, do you remember what happened before you fainted?” Emperor Wu asked tentatively.

“Before I fainted…” Everything then came back to the empress dowager. She smacked herself on the forehead and cried out softly in pain.

Lady Northern Feng stopped her in a hurry. “Your Majesty, you just narrowly escaped death. Please don’t do that to your head.”

The lady had almost had a heart attack when she heard that the empress dowager had an aneurysm.

Before the empress dowager could process Lady Northern Feng’s words, she grabbed the latter by the arm. “Yaya! That Feng Wu is too young to be a good doctor! She must have tricked you! I’ve been thinking. You can give her something nice, but don’t have her as your goddaughter!”

For a moment, the others all looked at the empress dowager strangely.

Lady Northern Feng wanted to say something, but words failed her.

The empress dowager patted Lady Northern Feng on the head with a stern look on her face. “Are you listening to me? That girl is tricking you! She’s not becoming your goddaughter!”

Emperor Wu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Mother…”

The empress dowager glared at Emperor Wu. “You, too! I know you dote on your sister, but you have to listen to me on this!”

The willful empress dowager was acting exactly like a child now. Lady Northern Feng shook her head helplessly.

At the thought of the grave danger the old lady had been in and how lively she was now, Lady Northern Feng felt that she couldn’t thank Feng Wu enough. Turning around, she took Feng Wu’s hands. “Kid, thank you so much.”

“What —”

Only then did the empress dowager notice Feng Wu and her eyes lit up.

At her age, the empress dowager adored good-looking teenagers like all grandmothers did. Her face lit up when she saw Feng Wu. “What a nice-looking girl. She’s as eye-catching as that girl of the Zuo family, if you ask me.”

By “the girl of the Zuo family,” she meant Zuo Qingluan.

Lady Northern Feng had no idea of the enmity between Feng Wu and Zuo Qingluan. She said with a smile, “Your Majesty, you’re spot on. This girl is even prettier than the Zuo girl.”

“That’s right.” The empress dowager was delighted to see a pretty girl. She patted the seat next to her and said, “Kiddo, come sit with me.”

Feng Wu was at a loss over what to say.

However, she still did as told and sat down next to the empress dowager.

“What’s your name? How old are you? Which family are you from?” At her age and with her status, the empress dowager had seen her fair share of good-looking people, not to mention that the imperial palace was filled with beautiful women.

However, this girl was different. She still had yet to reach her potential, but she was already a beauty. What was more, there was something non-aggressive about her look, making those around her feel very comfortable and relaxed.

With a smile, Feng Wu said calmly, “Your Majesty, my name is Feng Wu.”

“Feng Wu?” The empress dowager didn’t recognize that name at first. But when she saw Lady Northern Feng, who was trying to fight back her grin…

“Feng Wu!” The empress dowager cried out and glared at the girl. “You’re Feng Wu? The girl who tried to trick Yaya? You little liar! How dare you!”

Feng Wu was confused. “Yaya?”
