87 Chapter 87: Culture Shock (2/2)
Also, no matter how Wei Yi Yi view blood relationship, it is an inevitable fact that a young child need his mother right by his side.
They say, 'mothers loves their child the most in the world. Whatever they do, it's out of love for that child'. Or so they say.
”It's good that her majesty is self-aware.”
”You're too straightforward Tang Mei! That hursts!” Wei Yi Yi acted like she was stabbed in the heart. ”Look, doesn't she look so young? How old is Cheng Wangfei again?” she said, bringing back the attention towards the picture booklet.
Although, this portraits are really offensive to a woman's beauty. Wei Yi Yi could still see the important features of the woman in the picture. If this got out to the public, Jiang Liu would be beaten to death. Definitely.
”Answering to your majesty, her highness, Cheng Wangfei, celebrated her 23rd birthday this year,” Tang Mei inform casually.
”Ah?!” Wei Yi Yi felt her brain lag for a moment. ”How old is Ah Chen again?”

Wei Yi Yi heavily slammed her head on the stone table. She was KOed with the sneak attack of culture shock. ”Ouch,” she mumbles. Her mind crashed from the slap of reality in which now she lives.
A lot of thing can happened after a hundred or thousand of years. Fine, it was consented. They are adults in this world's sense, but they can't blame Wei Yi Yi for favoring society advancement.
”I'm so sorry I asked. I'll make sure not to make any comment when I meet her,” Wei Yi Yi said weakly, her voice muffled.
Tang Mei was lost. Excessive emotion is not good for the empress! Finally, with a sudden enlightenment, she realized what's wrong, and tried to cheer up the empress. ”Ah! Do not grieve your majesty! Even though people used to tease you before as an old maiden, your marriage was only delayed a 'little' bit!”
