Chapter 2004: Chapter 1942: Don’t Shy Away from Making a Grandson
The dragon and phoenix candles burned all night without interruption, the candle tears forming small red piles.
The next day, Wufu, still in a dream, was awakened early by the nannies; Empress Dowager Mo was still in the residence, and she had to offer tea.
Wufu scrambled to get up, flipped over and got out of bed, but her legs went soft, almost falling back onto the bed. She couldn’t help but grimace, rubbing her aching waist.
The bridal chamber night was indeed fierce; her waist was about to break.
Heh heh!
Wufu turned around and saw someone full of satisfaction looking at her, snickering. She couldn’t help but glare at him, raising her little fist: "Just wait, if this grudge isn’t avenged, I... cough! I won’t argue with you now, hurry up and get up, we need to pay respects to Royal Mother."
"The King is always ready for the Princess Consort’s guidance." Ah Jiu smiled lightly, loving this little look of hers, like a little cat provoked.
Wufu snorted softly, first going to the cleansing room to freshen up, then having Purple Jade and the maids dress her. During this, Ah Jiu, already dressed with the help of other maids, sat on the side drinking tea, waiting for her.
Empress Dowager Mo was early at the main hall waiting, besides her, some clan relatives were also present, to give support to this recognition ceremony.
"The Prince and Princess Consort have arrived."
Empress Dowager Mo looked out; indeed, the two little ones came hand in hand. Seeing them full of energy, smiles abound, Wufu with spring in her eyebrows, she couldn’t help but smile too.
There’s hope for a grandson!
Recognition was merely a formality, those who should be known were already familiar, it was merely completing a ritual. As this ceremony concluded, the clan relatives gradually left, and Wufu and Ah Jiu stayed to talk with Empress Dowager Mo.
"After breakfast, I will return to another palace. You two live well." Empress Dowager Mo looked at the pair and said, "Wufu’s mourning period is over, no need to avoid anything, and Ah Jiu, you’re not young!"
"Yes, Royal Mother, your son knows what to do." Ah Jiu glanced at Wufu.
Wufu felt embarrassed, coughed twice, and implored Empress Dowager Mo: "Royal Mother, rare to return, stay at our manor for a couple of days, give us a chance to be filial to you."
"There will be chances in the future." Empress Dowager Mo patted her hand, then turned to Ah Jiu: "You also don’t need to go to another palace, if anything arises, you’ll be summoned, spend more time with your wife."
Ah Jiu nodded.
"Enough of that, let’s have breakfast." Empress Dowager Mo said with a smile.
The family enjoyed breakfast harmoniously. Ah Jiu and Wufu then escorted Empress Dowager Mo back to another palace, though according to her, there was no need for them to escort her, as running around was tiring.
Yet Ah Jiu insisted, since they were newly married, they should go pay respects to Emperor Yan to thank him for the grace and decree.
Empress Dowager Mo thought about it and agreed, letting them accompany her back to another palace.
Despite understanding in her heart, upon seeing the emaciated Emperor Yan, Wufu’s heart still trembled slightly.
Even with the use of fierce medicine, the gu insect halted its movements, but Emperor Yan’s body had long been infected by the gu insect virus. It’s a miracle he held on till now.
"Live well." Emperor Yan didn’t have the strength to connect the tea, only sipping with the help of Eunuch Lu’s hand, weakly speaking to the pair.
Ah Jiu and Wufu responded, accepting the recognition gift from Emperor Yan, seeing his lack of spirit, they bid farewell on their knees.
Emperor Yan watched the pair disappear beyond the bead curtain, his eyes full of envy, looking down at his own hand, the bones visible, seeming like only a layer of skin, such a hand couldn’t even lift a cup of tea.
His emperor career was nearing its final Chapter.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here to see you!"
Emperor Yan watched Empress Dowager Mo walking in with scriptures, slightly raising the corner of his mouth, feeling glad she was still around.
