"Mother, I have always behaved this way. If I were to deliberately act aggressively, I would not be a son."

The scene was very quiet for a moment, and Empress Xiao stared at Liu Jing in a daze...

She looked a little solemn, but Xing Bang knew that Queen Xiao felt a little distressed at the moment, but more likely relieved.

Because Liu Jing's seemingly casual words of truth are not that simple, they are full of wisdom.

For Liu Jing, the Xiao family is now in danger, and he has obtained the position of General of the Jinwu Guard. He is still the same Liu Jing as before, which is undoubtedly the best way for him to gain a foothold.

Empress Xiao was so intelligent that she knew many things clearly, not to mention that Liu Jing's words were even more straightforward and clear.

"Mother, no matter whether what I said is right or not, please be at ease!"

Seeing that Queen Xiao had not spoken for a long time, Liu Jing added this sentence. No matter what his mother was thinking now, she was his biological mother after all, so he said such true feelings instead of just saying a few words to get by, which also revealed his stubborn nature.

He was well aware that his mother's current situation was not very good, and he just wanted her to stop worrying about him.

"Jing'er, you..."

As she spoke, Queen Xiao's eyes turned slightly red. Her son had never been so sensible as he was today, and he could understand her as a mother's mentality.

How can one not be delighted and moved!

Soon, Empress Xiao controlled her emotions and said, "Jing'er, you have grown up. You will be an adult in the future and have your own opinions!"

"Mother, as long as you think it is the right thing to do, just do it according to your own ideas."

"Mother, this is... not true, right?"

Liu Jing was confused for a moment by the great change in his mother. What on earth had happened?

Little do you know that with the existence of Mr. Xing, whom you trust and value the most, you, the Sixth Prince, can have a sudden realization and change, but your mother cannot change?

Queen Xiao heaved a long sigh of relief and made this decision completely. Her heart had never been as relaxed as it was now. It could be said that all her burdens were on Liu Jing.

She really wanted to let it go from the bottom of her heart, because this son really made her feel at ease.

"Silly child, your mother will not interfere in your affairs in the future, so you don't have to be so excited, right?"

"Mother, I don't have any!"

While Liu Jing was shocked and couldn't believe it, he was naturally extremely excited. Over the years, he had no idea how many times he had been scolded by his mother. Everything had to be done according to her ideas. Even though he was unhappy and had many complaints in his heart, he still had to obey her against his will on the surface, which really made him very uncomfortable.

Now, I can finally make my own decision!

Xing Bang noticed the change in Queen Xiao's expression and knew that her decision was not made on a whim, but was made seriously. Of course, this was also the result of a lot of guidance and help.

"Your Highness, after all, the Queen's decision is the result of your great progress!"

Hearing this, Liu Jing felt happy and relieved, believing that his mother was serious this time.

"Thank you for your understanding, mother. I will work hard to be a good person and not let you worry about me anymore!"

Queen Xiao nodded calmly, "Okay, mother believes that you will get better and better!" Because we have little Bangzi by our side.

"But Jing'er, your mother still wants to tell you one last thing. This time, His Majesty asked Xiliang Hou to bring his entire family to the capital, probably for one thing..."

"The youngest daughter of the Marquis of Xiliang has just turned thirteen. This is the princess your father has chosen for you. I think it's time for you to get married. Your mother hopes that you will not act like a fool again. Do you agree?"

"Mother, I... your son will listen to you."

Liu Jing hesitated a little, but still agreed.

"Okay, I hope you can keep your promise!"

Queen Xiao felt relieved again. She was really worried that her son would continue to be willful and should have gotten married a long time ago, but he was so picky that he just didn't want anyone.

"Yes, Your Highness, you are almost sixteen years old, and you don't even have a concubine. If you tell others about this, it will certainly cause criticism!"

Only Xing Bang can say this. No one else would dare to say this even if they were given a hundred times the courage.

Liu Jing remained silent...

Empress Xiao sighed slightly and continued, "That's right. Every time a concubine asks about this during a chat, or wants to find a matchmaker for a girl from her family, I feel ashamed."

"If Your Majesty had not already spoken to the Marquis of Xiliang, I'm afraid this matter would have spread far and wide. Forget it, it's all in the past, so I won't say more. As long as Jing'er can get married smoothly this time, I will be completely relieved."

"Yes, Your Highness, if you can marry the daughter of Marquis Xiliang, it will be of great benefit to you."

After saying this, Xing Bang deliberately glanced at Empress Xiao...

Queen Xiao blinked her beautiful eyes twice, and then continued, "Jing'er, there are some things that your mother doesn't want you to get involved in, but you can't stay out of it anyway!"

Xing Bang smiled knowingly. He and Empress Xiao had such a tacit understanding that they could understand each other with just a glance.

It would be safer to have Queen Xiao speak personally about the Xiao family's affairs, as there are some things Liu Jing doesn't know.

Empress Xiao naturally understood Xing Bang's suggestion and let Liu Jing know so that he would be more cautious and not act rashly in some matters.

"Mother, are you referring to my uncle's matter? Speaking of this, I also ask you not to interfere in this matter. In the final analysis, it is my uncle's fault for his arrogant behavior!"

"Jing'er, I know this. This is not what your mother wants to talk about. I have received reliable information that your father has secretly deployed 50,000 Xiliang troops to the surrounding area. The specific details are not clear..."

"Mother will listen to you and will not protect your uncle or even the Xiao family. What mother wants to say is that you must not act rashly and restrain your temper. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I will listen to you and never cause any trouble."

Although Liu Jing didn't quite understand, he could sense the implication in his mother's words. The Xiao family might be facing a disaster.

"Okay, Jing'er, there's nothing else the Queen Mother can tell you. You can take care of yourself."

"Yes, mother, you can take a rest. I will go to inspect the imperial guards and palace defenses."

As he was speaking, Liu Jing stood up. He was now the general of the Jinwu Guard, and this was his duty. Moreover, today was a special day.

Empress Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, go ahead!"

After Liu Jing left, Xing Bang slowly walked to Empress Xiao's side and said, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured now. The Sixth Prince is definitely not as naughty as outsiders think. He is very wise!"

"Little Stick, I really want to thank you. Thank you for your patient guidance to Jing'er."

Xing Bang smiled slightly, "Then how is your Majesty going to thank me?"

Queen Xiao rolled her eyes at him and said he was being frivolous again, but what she said came from the bottom of her heart.

"Well, how do you want me to thank you..."
