"Luan'er, you should sit down and eat together. Let the palace servants serve you."

Concubine Jia smiled and said softly, "Luan'er likes to be filial to her aunt."

The Queen Mother patted the back of her hand with satisfaction: "You are much more sensible now."

Those still beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with undisguised love.

——This love made Concubine Jia feel both warm and slightly painful in her heart.

In the past, she took it for granted, but since she knew that she was just an imposter, every bit of favor from the Queen Mother became a sword hanging over her head.

"The Emperor has sent a new tribute of raw mutton-fat jade." The Empress Dowager gestured for the court lady to present the brocade box. "Take it back and have the Jewelry Bureau make you a set of jewelry that you like."

Concubine Jia took the brocade box, her fingertips trembling slightly.

——This reward should not belong to her.

She suddenly knelt down on the Queen Mother's knees, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Aunt..."

The Queen Mother stroked her hair distressedly: "Luan'er, what's wrong?"

"After Le Wen gets married...what should Luan'er do?" Her voice choked with sobs.

The Queen Mother consoled her, "Le Wen is sensible and will be filial to you. As for the prince..." She paused, her words meaningful, "I will find another way."

——She naturally wants to plan the best for her own daughter.

The throne has been lost, Yu Chen must fight for it!

Concubine Jia raised her face, tears in her eyes: "Aunt, I want to go back to the Su Mansion to visit my relatives tomorrow..."

The Queen Mother gently combed her hair. "Well, it's good to relax. I'll have the Ministry of Rites arrange for you to return in style."

"Thank you, Auntie." Concubine Jia tightly grasped the Queen Mother's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw. "You treat Luan'er... like her own mother."

The Queen Mother felt warm in her heart.

Her eyes were smiling, as if saying, aren't you my daughter?

Her own daughter is a little stupid, a little foolish, and has no talent because she has not taught her.

As a mother, I feel guilty towards her.

"Luan'er, don't worry, I will make everything go smoothly for you."
