The look of joy on the Empress Dowager's face suddenly disappeared.
The young Emperor secretly worried, fearing the National Master might discern something amiss regarding the Empress Dowager's actions at the Fengxian Hall.
He quickly interrupted.
"The National Master is busy with his affairs. It's already remarkable for him to take on one disciple, let alone tutor the Princess? Mother, you should let this matter go."
The Empress Dowager was displeased upon hearing this and wanted to speak further with the National Master.
"I understand the National Master doesn't see potential in Suisui. But I find her very likable. Today, she inadvertently helped me out of difficult situations multiple times. If the National Master is unwilling to take her on, I won't force the issue. So be it."
The Empress Dowager felt uncomfortable. The National Master sensed this and quickly found an excuse to take his leave.
