The Royal Highness - C8
In the Qingming Pavilion after the Hall of Announcements, Steward Zhou was recounting everything that happened this morning to the emperor. Whether it was the empress wanting to see her mother or not, as well as taking responsibility for last night’s events in front of the empress dowager, she had to inform the emperor of everything.
“Your Majesty, that’s exactly the situation. Right now, the prime minister’s wife is rushing home to invite the empress’s birth mother over.” Eunuch Zhou said.
“Her birth mother?” The Emperor frowned slightly. He had once investigated the background of Xiao Yu’s son.
However, things were different than what the Eunuch Zhou had thought. When he followed the Emperor to the side of tai chi cistern, he saw the Queen sitting alone in the pavilion with her eaves raised, as if she was waiting for her mother.
Yun mama was already waiting at the side. From the shoulder of the, he supported a frail woman, who was the Queen’s mother, Bai’s disease.
It was obvious that she was someone who had suffered for many years, her thin body supporting her beautiful skirt. It was unknown who had borrowed this clothes from, but even though she was weak and haggard, she still had a gentle and pure face. However, if one were to think about the people from nineteen years ago, they were definitely beauties.
At that time, the world was still peaceful. The Prime Minister was naturally in the mood to play the game.
Not far away, Xiang Ye slowly opened the jade bone fan s. He lightly waved his hand, looking at the scene of the mother and daughter recognizing each other with interest. However, would this emperor who had stepped over bones, dyed in human blood, be moved by the emotions of Tian Lun?
At least, the Eunuch Zhou felt that the Emperor only felt that it was new.
He thought that when mother and daughter met, they would cry bitterly. However, he just stood there and watched as Yun mama supported his mother to kneel down and pay his respects.
“Please rise Madam.” “Let’s sit in the pavilion and talk.”
The empress’s performance surprised Yun mama, and he began to think that the empress was not a simple person. Before this, she only thought of the new empress as a country bumpkin, and would definitely not be difficult to deal with. Fortunately, it was not mentioned to others, and it was not too late to take those views back.
It wasn’t until they were seated in the pavilion that they started to clench their fists tightly, tears brimming in their eyes as they helped their mother to straighten the hairpin that she had obviously hastily put on. However, after thinking for a moment, they guessed that this hairpin belonged to someone, so they took it off, pulled the golden hairpin from their hair bun, and carefully put it on their mother’s head.
“My son…” Bai’s disease trembled as she shouted this name. For the past ten years, she had dreamt of this name, her daughter.
“Mother, I’m the Empress now. Although I’m ten years late, I can finally protect you.” Tears the size of beans fell from her eyes, but she smiled and said, “Mother, no one will bully you anymore. From today onwards, no one can bully you anymore. “Grandma wanted me to tell you that although I wasn’t able to protect you ten years ago, she has raised my son for you. Mother, look, how good am I now?”
One could vaguely see the appearance of her daughter when she was young. She had indeed grown up to be a slim and graceful beauty.
For the past ten years, every time she was tormented and bullied by someone from the Prime Minister’s House, the Bai’s disease would persevere and endure. She prayed for Bodhisattva to bless the madame’s longevity, even if it was just for one more day. With the madame here, her child would have someone to rely on.
But she didn’t dare think that her daughter would become the Queen of new monarch after receiving such a great favor from the heavens.
Ten days ago, it was rumored that the emperor had chosen Yu’er as his empress. Not long after the Emperor had taken Yu’er away from his entourage, she was summoned by Madam Qiu to warn her not to be delusional and to kneel outside the bedroom for the entire night on the night watch.
Actually, as the Prime Minister’s wife, Madam Qiu had always been generous and virtuous. His three famous concubines did not call her a person for no reason, so when she was angry, she came to Bai’s disease to teach his a lesson, simply because she did not have any status.
Bai’s disease also thought that since her daughter had become the empress, how could she let the world know that she had such a lowly mother? But now that her daughter was right in front of her, she wanted to see her on her first day as the empress.
She used a silk handkerchief to wipe away the tears of her mother and comforted her: “Mother, everything will be better from now on. The days of suffering have passed.”
When Yun mama saw this scene, he could not help but feel sad. However, from the corner of his eyes, she saw a familiar figure, and when she looked more carefully, he saw that the people there were already walking towards her.
Yun mama said nervously, “Empress, the emperor is coming.”
