"This child, so small, all she knows is to put up with her cousin all day!" Queen Dugu couldn't stand this about her daughter.
They are the direct descendants of the Goddess Kingdom, how could they only be interested in a little boy? If you ask her, all of her aunt's grandsons would be fine! But she was just thinking about it. If her daughter really liked all of her aunt's grandsons, she was sure her aunt would break her legs. Yes, it was her, the mother, not that brat.
“A few years ago you left Xiaomingyue here, just bear with it and play with her. If she didn’t miss you, would she miss you, her mother?” Grandma Gu glanced at Queen Dugu and said.
"Hehehe, Auntie!" Queen Dugu sat down next to Grandma Gu, took Grandma Gu's hand, and was about to lean on Grandma Gu's shoulder when Grandma Gu stopped her with a finger.
"Stop it! Speak up. You're a grown woman, don't be so unseemly. You're the Queen of the Goddess Kingdom, you're forty years old, you should sit and stand properly. Don't you know how to lean on this old lady like you have no bones? What kind of behavior is that?" Grandma Gu said sternly.
You know, their third son has never dared to act cute with her since he was little.
"Oh dear, Auntie, don't be so serious!" Queen Dugu insisted on getting closer.
A group of little ones found it amusing and gathered around.
Grandma Gu was afraid that any rough movements would hurt the children, so she tolerated Queen Dugu, while Grandpa Gu laughed heartily from the side.
Only Mingyue's mother received this treatment. None of the four children in her family, even when they were young, had ever been this close to Lanlan.
If he hadn't witnessed the birth of all four children, he would have suspected that Mingyue's mother was actually their biological daughter.
"Auntie, Uncle, when are we leaving for Dalang Prefecture? I haven't seen Ah Jun for over twenty years. I wonder if that kid has aged and if he's as good-looking as me now!" Queen Dugu asked with a smile, leaning against Grandma Gu like a little daughter.
“Xin Xin said she looks a lot like you, and the second brother and the others said the same thing when they went over. She must be as good-looking as you,” Grandpa Gu said with a smile.
"Uncle, you have no idea, that brat Ah Jun holds a grudge. When we were little, I gave him my clothes to wear so he could go to school for me, and he was still bringing it up last year! He said he'd take all my sons to the west when he gets back and torture them to death to get revenge for what happened back then. Aunt, Uncle, you have to help me then! Taking my sons is fine, I'm just afraid he'll want to fight me again!" Queen Dugu complained.
Grandma Gu glanced at Queen Dugu with disdain and didn't want to say anything.
"Auntie, what does that look mean? Besides disdain, is there something else it means?" Queen Dugu asked.
Grandma Gu was too lazy to talk to her.
Queen Dugu then looked at Grandpa Gu.
"Is Lanlan trying to say that you're so capable, already sitting on the throne, and you're afraid you can't beat your younger brother?" Grandpa Gu acted as an interpreter, translating the meaning of Grandma Gu's eyes to Queen Dugu.
Queen Dugu felt both envious and wanting to cry.
She envied her aunt and uncle's good relationship. After so many years, they could understand each other with just a glance, without even saying a word.
She wanted to cry because she had never experienced such feelings in her life. She had many male consorts, but none of them satisfied her. She feared she would never have such enviable feelings in her life.
