CHAPTER 1132: CHAPTER 1130: SHE IS VERY GOOD

The mother and son each held a cup of tea, sitting in the pavilion sipping quietly. After a long while, Empress Dowager Mo looked up at her son: "Can you tell your Royal Mother about that young lady?"

Ah Jiu was taken aback and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Royal Mother, her background is not prominent, and she has just reached the age of marriage, but she is very good."

Empress Dowager Mo raised her eyebrows, quietly watching him.

Ah Jiu showed a smile, his eyes somewhat distant, and said: "The first time I met her was in the mountains..."

In the afternoon, the gentle breeze of Early Summer blew lightly. In the pavilion, the mother and son sat opposite each other, one talking in detail about how he met, got to know, and came to understand that Cinnabar Mole over the past year, while the other listened intently.

"Royal Mother, she does not have a prominent status, nor is she a typical gentle noble lady, but she is very good." Ah Jiu’s eyes were bright as morning stars.

Empress Dowager Mo remained silent. Just now, when her son spoke of that young lady, his eyes seemed to shoot out a beam of light, too bright to look directly at.

It’s only when a young man has truly placed someone in his heart that he will have such an expression. When he talks about that person, his eyes will be that bright.

But...

Empress Dowager Mo said: "Jiujiu, what if your Royal Mother does not agree?"

She stared tightly at his eyes, unsurprisingly, the light in those eyes instantly dimmed, becoming flat, mild.

"Royal Mother..."

"Jiujiu, you are a prince of the kingdom, you are the legitimate son of the mourning family, of noble status, you deserve a better match." Empress Dowager Mo interrupted him.

"Royal Mother, she is very good!" Ah Jiu said, "Precisely because I am your son, having a legitimate consort with no prominent family, makes others feel more at ease."

Empress Dowager Mo’s expression changed slightly, her breath catching: "Jiujiu, you..."

Ah Jiu smiled and said: "Royal Mother, your son has no great ambitions. This palace, your son does not like. Your son just wants someone to talk to, and that’s enough. I can be a leisurely prince of Fu Gui."

These words made Empress Dowager Mo’s heart twist, feeling somewhat distressed as she called out tenderly: "Jiujiu." She looked again at the world’s most beautiful garden, the most noble place, and then gave a mocking laugh: "You’re right, this place indeed is not much, lonely and dirty."

Ah Jiu felt somewhat surprised in his heart: "Royal Mother?"

Empress Dowager Mo said: "Jiujiu, your Royal Mother does not want you to be wronged."

Ah Jiu shook his head repeatedly.

"You are your Royal Mother’s child, your status is so noble, how many people are being vigilant. If you don’t have a strong Yue Family, what will you do when your Royal Mother is gone?"

Ah Jiu exclaimed in shock: "May your Royal Mother live a thousand years, please do not speak like this." He added: "Royal Mother also says my status is noble, so tell me, if I were to have another noble Yue Family, how many people would it hinder?"

Empress Dowager Mo fell silent.

"If your Royal Mother is concerned about her son, Royal Mother, Wufu is not the fragile type of woman. I believe no matter what the future holds, she can stand by my side without worries. She is not a Cymbidium Flower but rather a sturdy pine tree."

Empress Dowager Mo said: "It’s rare to hear you praise a woman so highly."

Ah Jiu put down the teacup and squatted down, just like in childhood, resting his head on Empress Dowager Mo’s thigh, saying: "Royal Mother, your son only asks for your favor this once."

Empress Dowager Mo was about to agree, thinking that this child has never asked her for anything.

But fortunately, reason still held, she patted his head and said: "Let’s talk about this matters later. For now, your coming of age ceremony is most important."

Ah Jiu let out a breath of relief, lifted his head, and smiled: "Thank you, Royal Mother, for your understanding."

"The Emperor, Ji Xiang."
