72 72. Empress Dowager tea party. Part two. (1/2)
”What do you mean, Imperial Mother? Did you also do the same thing as me? ” Yu Fengyan looked suspiciously at His Imperial Mother.
Empress Dowager looks a little embarrassed at the barrage of questions from her first son, but given her memories, Empress Dowager looks reminiscing about something happy.
”Well-This Dowager was also previously disapproved of marrying your father. As you know, the Jing family doesn't like to be involved in royal political conflicts. My choice to marry your father rejected the basic rules that all Jing family members must follow. That caused the Jing clan to not support me at all while being your father's wife.”
Yu Fengyan was stunned to hear His Imperial Mother's explanation. So far he has never understood why His Imperial Mother never mentioned about Jing clan, and never tried to introduce the Jing family members to his two sons. He also understood now why His Imperial Mother always looked sad when some concubines had talked about the Jing family who had never interfered to help her as his father's wife.
”Imperial Mother-”
”It's okay, it's all the past that doesn't need to be remembered. We don't need to think much about the past of this Dowager.”
”Alright, Imperial Mother, this Son will not discuss it again. This Son will pay more attention to you.”
”This Dowager happy hears that.” Empress Dowager looks happy to hear the Emperor's promise to her. ”So, what does the Emperor want to ask this Dowager to makes Emperor come here on this hot afternoon?”
”This Son just wants to ask about the tea party that Imperial Mother will hold and why Imperial Mother invited my Empress to join in?”
”You mean why this Dowager invite Empress to attend the tea party event that this Dowager held even though this Dowager knew that Empress was pregnant, right?”
”Yes.”
Taking a deep breath, Empress Dowager explained her reason to her first son; ”This Dowager is holding this tea party because This Dowager wants to know which side those people This Dowager invited helping. That way this Dowager can take care of your future child well in the Empress' body. Get to know your enemy and you can plan anything well!”
”I see. This Son understands now.”
”This Dowager must know from the start who could be a threat to your future child now. This Dowager has been closing in too long from politics and there must have been a lot of changes.”
”Yes, Imperial Mother's right to think that. Many changes happen while Imperial Mother closes your Palace's gate.”
Yu Fengyan was relieved to hear the reason why His Imperial Mother invited his Empress, it's all being made to protect the Empress pregnancy. He thought before that its all because His Imperial Mother tried to make it difficult for his Empress who was pregnant, it turned out that he thought too narrowly about His Imperial Mother kindness so he felt somewhat guilty.
