The emperor looked at her, feeling quietly happy in his heart, and said, "I still can't believe it, you really have become mine."
Ming Wudao pursed his lips: "Yeah, I still can't believe it."
Part of the supremacy of imperial power is that it can violate people's will at will.
The emperor smiled softly. A man in his forties was still full of masculine charm and had the blessing of imperial power. He had looked at his face last night. Except for his cheeks drooping slightly and a few fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, there was nothing wrong with him. Old-fashioned.
He is still the handsome and mighty emperor.
"Have breakfast with me?" The emperor asked her for permission.
Ming Wudao said: "It's just that I have promised to accompany the Queen Mother for breakfast."
The emperor said: "Okay, you go, I will accompany you to have dinner... I am also going to the imperial study."
Eunuch Qing, an outsider, felt that such a conversation was extremely embarrassing. After hearing this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty is in control of the study."
Ming Wu Dao has a blessed body, "Send it to the Emperor."
The emperor reached over, held her hand, and said gently: "Wait for me, I will come later."
Ming Wudao quietly retracted his hand, "The emperor's government affairs are important."
"I listen to you." The emperor smiled, looked at her deeply, then turned and left.
As soon as the emperor left, Ning Fu stepped forward and said, "Sir, the emperor seems to really like you."
Ming Wudao shook his head, "It's just a curiosity. He has always wanted to invite me to the court before, but I didn't agree. The more times he refused, the more he became interested in conquest. It has nothing to do with liking him."
"What do you plan to do in the future, sir? You always have to sleep with me."
Ming Wudao frowned. This was naturally the thing she resisted the most, but it was also something she couldn't avoid. The emperor didn't have much patience.
His attempt to please was just to maintain dignity and show so-called respect, but deep down he still had a strong desire to conquer.
"Go and pay your respects to the Queen Mother first," Ming Wudao said.
The Empress Dowager barely slept last night and had a headache when she woke up early. Aunt Wanrong cooked her a decoction to remove blood stasis and activate blood circulation, and then performed scalp scraping on her.
After Ming Wudao entered the palace, Aunt Wanrong had just finished shaving and wanted to dress the Empress Dowager.
Ming Wudao stepped forward and saluted. In the past, he bowed to the Empress Dowager, but now he knelt down and performed the palace salute.
The Empress Dowager sighed, "Get up. Here in the Ai family, you can be just like you used to be. Looking at you like this, the Ai family feels sad."
Ming Wudao smiled, stood up, and walked over briskly, "I'll dress you up."
His brows hid some of his inner emotions, and he always had to look happy in front of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager did not mention the matter of becoming a concubine at all, and continued to discuss the affairs of the prince and his wife with her as before.
After talking for a while, the Empress Dowager said with great anticipation: "The Crown Princess is about to give birth. The Ai family has been waiting day by day. They have always heard that they are twins. So I have to come out and meet my great-grandmother."
"It's coming soon." Ming Wudao counted the days. If it came soon, he might be giving birth this month.
"There is nothing bigger than this now." The Empress Dowager said happily, paused, and then said: "On the Queen's side, the Ai family is always a little worried. This daughter-in-law, the Ai family hates iron. Ah, but it’s not a big mistake after all. The emperor’s ruthlessness is one of the reasons for this, and her character also has some responsibility.”
"The Crown Princess is paying attention, so don't worry."
"The Ai family feels that the queen..."
She paused, but still didn't finish her words. When a person reaches her age, many things can be seen with just one pair of eyes without having to calculate them.
The queen has no will to live.
"If the Queen is gone, the Emperor will regret it." She finally said, "The Emperor has become accustomed to the Queen being by his side over the years, and feels that no matter what he does, the Queen will be virtuous and considerate. Whenever the Queen shows any disobedience, He couldn't stand her attitude and wanted to use various means to punish her. Some people think she is dispensable, but if it is really gone, a piece of her heart will be ripped out."
