Upon entering Fengxin Palace, one sees Huo Danlan sitting at the lower end of the table, while Huo Guxian stands beside the Empress Dowager, his little hand being held by her. The young boy's expression is as serious as ever, as mature as a little adult.
Upon seeing Zhao Shu, the Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "So my words no longer carry any weight?"
Zhao Shu hurriedly walked over with a fawning smile, and stood next to the Empress Dowager alongside Huo Guxian. She also reached out to take the Empress Dowager's hand, saying, "Ah Jun knows her mistake."
Sun Yun had something on her mind, but seeing such an adorable child as Huo Guxian made her extremely happy. After bowing to the Empress Dowager, she said, "Xian'er hasn't played with his older sister for quite some time."
"As the ancients said, men and women should not touch each other. Sister Sun, please don't talk nonsense."
"Pfft." Zhao Shu couldn't help but laugh. When she laughed, the Empress Dowager also laughed, and everyone in the hall burst into laughter. Only Huo Guxian remained extremely serious, unaffected by the laughter. I am who I am, a unique spark.
After laughing, Huo Guxian pulled his hand away from the Empress Dowager's and, imitating the manners of a scholar, clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Empress Dowager, I have come to take my aunt home. I hope you will allow me to leave."
The Empress Dowager was increasingly pleased with his mature demeanor. Although he was still young, he knew how to protect his aunt and would take the initiative to be her support. He truly deserved to be called a son of the Huo family.

However, Huo Danlan did not stop Zhao Shu, and she couldn't bear not to punish her, so she pretended to be angry and said, "Fine, then let her go back to the Huo family and be confined for three months. She must not disobey in public."
“Yes, Your Majesty. I will supervise Aunt’s punishment until it is over. Please rest assured, Your Majesty.” He bowed deeply again.
After he finished speaking, he walked to Huo Danlan's side and said, "Aunt, let's go home."
The Empress Dowager was even more eager to find a second wife for Prince Yong. Her beloved grandson didn't even have a brother. If Huo Danlan and her beloved grandson were to switch places today, there wouldn't even be a brother coming to ask for someone. How tragic would that be?
