Over the past three years, when people talked about the emperor, they all said that he was an extremely kind and tolerant person, filial to his elders and kind to his subjects.
It actually earned him some good reputation.
However, with his status, even though he has the blood of the late emperor flowing in his veins, he would never be where he is today without the recognition and support of the empress dowager.
As long as he is emperor, he must appreciate her kindness and treat the late emperor's only legitimate princess well.
Otherwise, he would not be able to sit still in peace as the emperor.
The Song family is powerful and does not need her, the empress dowager, to do anything, but the emperor does.
Giving timely assistance is always better than adding icing on the cake.
The empress dowager looked at the emperor, who naturally helped her sit down and then greeted her.
The Queen Mother said, "Please sit down, sit next to me."
The emperor said, "I obey your command."
The Empress Dowager was old and in poor health, and her energy wasn't what it used to be, so she didn't beat around the bush when addressing the Emperor. Instead, she said directly, "Your Majesty, I've wronged you during these three years."
"The emperor has already reached adulthood. There has never been an emperor of his age who has not yet personally ruled the country."
The emperor immediately said, "I don't feel wronged. I still have a lot to learn."
The empress dowager suddenly looked up at the emperor, who still looked very humble.
"Yes, you are right. You grew up in a place like that and never had any education. But I have also seen what the tutor taught you. It's all learned by children of a few years old." The Queen Mother quickly said, "If this continues, it will take forever for you to rule the country."
"And I also know that the emperor has secretly appointed another teacher for me."
"Your Majesty has learned a lot in these three years. Don't be so quick to deny it. I'm not exposing this to say anything bad about you. I'm saying you're excellent."
"You may not know that you look like the late emperor, as if they were carved from the same mold."
The empress dowager was a little dazed when she said this. It was because the emperor's face was very similar to the late emperor's that the emperor was recognized at that time.
The Queen Mother once had very complicated feelings when she saw this face.
She and the late emperor were truly in love and lived in perfect harmony. She was also a jealous person, so when she learned that the late emperor had spent a night with a prostitute when he was visiting the south of the Yangtze River, she was still extremely jealous even though the late emperor was dead.
But this face looks very much like the late emperor, and the late emperor is already dead.
She really loved and hated this face at that time.
Now, three years have passed since the late emperor passed away, and the empress dowager's mood has changed greatly from before.
This change became more obvious especially after she decided to help the emperor.
Looking at this pretty face that resembled the late emperor, the Queen Mother smiled kindly, "What I want to say is, go ahead and do whatever you want to do. When the time comes, your mother will help you."
Although the Queen Mother never held real power, her status and qualifications were there, which would naturally be useful at critical moments.
The Empress Dowager had said this, and the Emperor did not continue to pretend to be confused. He stood up again and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager.
"Your son thanks your mother."
"From now on, I will treat my mother as my own biological mother and be filial to her. Sister Anyang is my biological sister."
Of course he also knew what the Queen Mother wanted.
He quickly added, "I know something about the Prince Consort and want to tell you, Mother."
The empress dowager immediately understood what the emperor was talking about and felt slightly relieved.
After all, this matter concerns Princess Anyang's reputation. If ordinary people knew about it, they would be afraid of being implicated and keep silent, but the emperor said it in front of her.
This shows the sincerity in his heart.
"I know about this, but I've already figured out how to handle it." The Queen Mother quickly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about such a small matter."
The emperor said, "How can this be a trivial matter when it concerns Anyang?"
"Xu Ke is truly audacious. He actually dared to deceive the princess, and tell such a big lie."
"Back when he was just a humble third place winner, he dared to deceive Anyang like this. Now that Anyang has his child, isn't he even more emboldened?"
"I think he must be taught a lesson."
The Queen Mother had not thought about this. She was only thinking about how to keep this matter secret and prevent Anyang from getting hurt.
But what the emperor said made sense. In the past, Xu Ke dared to get a fiancée without telling them, and in the future, he might even get a concubine and a concubine's child.
"We must find a way to teach him a lesson," said the Queen Mother.
The emperor added, "And I feel that such a person is not worthy of Anyang at all."
"Perhaps Xu Ke was considered a talented writer back then, so Mother chose such a husband for Anyang. But now it seems that this man is full of lies and his character is questionable. He is absolutely not worthy of Sister Anyang."
"Anyang's status is only worthy of the most outstanding person in the world. She is the only princess of the royal family. How could she compromise for such a person?"
"How could the young master and princess have such a terrible father?"
"It's fine for the princess to divorce and remarry. She can choose the best man in the world."
"Of course, the choice is up to Princess Anyang. I am merely offering some suggestions."
The Queen Mother fell into deep thought upon hearing this. After thinking about it, she finally shook her head.
