Yan Heng believed that since he had accepted Jiang Tian, ​​he should also accept her past.

Her affair with Xu Jingxiu was long over, but since her daughter was still in the Xu household, Jiang Tian couldn't help but worry about her.

These were all within Yan Heng's expectations.

However, he did not expect that the mother and daughter would be so bold, even using a trivial matter as an excuse, so Xu Qingshu did not even want to go back for the New Year.

Although Xu Jingxiu divorced Jiang Tian and quickly remarried, which was a flaw in his character, he was still quite good at military campaigns.

Yan Heng had known him for quite some time and had a fairly good understanding of him.

He couldn't help but ask Jiang Tian, ​​"I remember Xu Jingxiu was alright with the children, so why doesn't your daughter want to go back?"

Jiang Tian wasn't bothered by his abrupt question, but sighed: "He married a new wife and then forgot all about Ashu. For him, as long as Ashu grows up smoothly and he prepares a dowry for her to marry off, that's enough."

"Do you think he's still the same person he used to be? If Ashu hadn't been desperate, she wouldn't have told me she didn't want to go back."

As the emperor, Yan Heng should not interfere too much in other people's family affairs.

It's clear that Jiang Tian is worried about her daughter, and Yan Heng can't just ignore it.

He thought for a moment and said, "Since she doesn't want to go back for the New Year, then she won't go back. I'll issue an imperial decree to bring her into the palace. You can accompany her during the day, and after the palace banquet, you have to come with me."

Yan Heng spoke as he pondered.

Although Xu Qingshu is Jiang Tian's daughter, Yan Heng will not compromise his interests for anyone.

It's fine for the mother and daughter to get together during the day, but not at night.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tian was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Thank you so much."

Yan Heng took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears: "If you cry all the time in the future, I will not grant you any requests."

Jiang Tian immediately stopped crying.

That's settled then.

After Xu Qingshu entered the palace, Jiang Tian told her the news.

After studying at the academy for many days, Xu Qingshu became more knowledgeable about things than before.

She listened to Jiang Tian's teachings and did not easily show her emotions. She always followed the rules in the academy and was more reserved than anyone else.

Fortunately, she had the position of village head. Even though others didn't like Xu Qingshu, they were afraid of offending her and causing trouble for their families.

Xu Qingshu has been doing quite well lately and has matured a lot.

Upon learning that she could stay at the Xu residence and even go to the palace to spend the New Year with her mother, Xu Qingshu couldn't contain her emotions and her face turned rosy with joy.

Jiang Tian hugged her and talked for a while, then instructed Xu Qingshu not to mention her existence after entering the Xu residence.

Xu Qingshu was somewhat puzzled: "You've already entered the palace and severed ties with that person long ago, so what are you still worried about?"

Jiang Tian touched her daughter's face: "I am just one of the Emperor's women. Once I lose his favor, I will be forgotten. Xu Jingxiu has military merits and official positions, and he was once the Emperor's right-hand man. My importance in the Emperor's heart cannot be compared to his."

“Xu Jingxiu knows I’m in the palace and can’t make things difficult for me, but he’ll think I’m promiscuous and treat you even worse.”

Xu Qingshu fell silent.

She knew her father's temperament better than anyone else.

When his mother wanted to divorce him, he was determined not to agree. He kept saying that since his mother had become his woman, she should never have the thought of divorce in this lifetime.
