Chapter 582 My child likes to call me "Mother," and I'm happy to hear it.
The child looked up blankly at Xiao Tang, whose thin lips moved as if he was struggling with something.
Finally, his knees buckled, and he knelt down, bowing to Xiao Tang.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."
After bowing deeply to Xiao Tang, his eyes reddened slightly.
When Princess Liang saw that her son was about to cry, she gritted her teeth. She was so angry with her son that she put on a calm smile, but actually went up and pinched him.
"You act like you're about to die when I ask you to simply bow to the Empress!"
The child lowered his head and cried immediately after being scolded.
Large tears rolled down her cheeks.
When Princess Liang saw how stupid and useless her good-for-nothing son was, she was even more furious.
She smiled awkwardly at Xiao Tang and explained, "I'm very afraid of giving birth to this son, Your Majesty, please don't be offended."
"Hehe, what's so strange about it?"
Xiao Tang vaguely felt that the style of the painting was strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
She pursed her lips, even though she knew this woman had ill intentions, she couldn't find a flaw in her defenses.
Seeing her son standing in a corner crying, Princess Liang hurriedly explained to Xiao Tang, "Your Majesty, actually, I was also thinking that His Majesty should take in more concubines in the harem."
Xiao Tang narrowed her eyes.
I had heard from Eunuch Liu before that the Liang King and his wife were very enthusiastic about sending women to Emperor Jingling.
The purpose, however, remains a mystery to everyone.
If...they want to control Di Jingling through these women? That's a rather naive idea.
Princess Liang continued to explain, "Don't be like me, struggling so much even to teach children. If Your Majesty recruits many concubines into the harem, they can share some of the pressure of bearing children in the future."
“My prince has more than a dozen concubines in his backyard.”
The implication was that the current emperor should learn from her manly ways.
Xiao Tang never expected that she would be so happy and proud to have more than a dozen concubines.
Xiao Tang's lips twitched speechlessly.
Just as she was about to say something, the cries of three babies came from outside the door.
"Mother, Mother!"
Xiao Bao, the most agile of all, rushed in, his little braids flashing.
She looked at Xiao Tang with a smile, and then, a beat late, realized that there was a guest in the room.
She made a sound of surprise.
Princess Liang then raised her sleeve, gently covered her mouth, and said with amusement, "Why do these little princesses and princes still call the Empress 'Mother'?"
Da Bao was displeased, "That's what we want to call it."
Only Xiao Bao, the curious one, asked with a puzzled look, "Then what should it be called?"
“My son calls me Mother Consort, so you should all call me Empress Dowager.”
She proudly pinched her son's arm, urging him to shout.
The child, who had finally stopped crying, immediately had tears in his eyes again, and he called out in a strained voice, "Mother."
Xiao Tang was speechless at the sight of the mother and son.
Why did she feel that it was just a form of address, but the mother and son were taking it so seriously, as if they thought that this gave them a slight advantage and suppressed her?
Xiao Tang immediately found it amusing, and she glanced at the children.
"My child likes to call me 'Mother,' and I'm happy to hear it. If you have any objections, you can keep them to yourself and go back home."
Princess Liang, who was about to say something, suddenly turned pale.
She never expected Xiao Tang to say such a sarcastic thing.
The gentle and refined empress she remembered... simply didn't exist.
The child beside me seemed to have been suddenly stimulated.
He suddenly lunged at Xiao Tang: "Don't you dare speak ill of my mother!"
The child, desperate to protect his eyes, grabbed Xiao Tang's sleeve as if to bite.
Before Princess Liang could even rejoice, she saw her son lunge at the Empress to bite her, and she turned pale with fright.
She rushed forward and snatched the child away.
"What's wrong with you, child? Let go!"
Xiao Tang wasn't bitten; instead, because the child was being pulled, she grabbed the child's chin.
"It seems that Princess Liang is not very good at teaching children, as she let the child pounce on her like a mad dog."
Princess Liang originally wanted to scold her son, but when she suddenly heard Xiao Tang call her son a mad dog, she became furious.
"Your Majesty's words are truly chilling. How is my son a mad dog?"
Xiao Tang had no intention of becoming enemies with the mother and son.
After all, Emperor Jingling had just told her to get along well with Princess Liang.
Now, looking at this mother and son, she really can't get along with them anymore.
Xiao Tang pinched the child's chin. "All you do is bite? Do you think you're a zombie?"
The child was outmatched in terms of presence, so he was a bit bewildered in this situation.
In the end, he still didn't know why he was so captivated by Xiao Tang's aura.
"I...I was wrong, Your Majesty."
Princess Liang looked at her son.
She was completely taken aback.
When did my son start admitting his mistakes on his own?
This is just too outrageous.
Xiao Tangcai nodded slightly and released the child's chin.
However, without letting go of the child, she grabbed the child's hand as the child tried to back away.
She sneered and asked, "What good thing is hidden in your palm? Let me see?"
The child was frightened and looked helplessly at the princess.
Princess Liang's expression changed several times. She hurriedly said to Xiao Tang, "Your Majesty the Empress must have misunderstood. My son always likes to grab food; what he has in his hand must be something delicious, you..."
