Zhou Ruo rarely asked for anything so persistently. She had always been sensible, obedient and well-behaved.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhou Ruo in surprise. After a while, she slowly said, "You have to tell me what you want to do, right? You asked me to agree without saying anything. Isn't this asking too much?"

Lin Qingqing on the side squinted her eyes and looked at Zhou Ruo, always feeling that Zhou Ruo was up to something.

The child twisted uncomfortably in Zhou Ruo's arms.

Zhou Ruo pursed her lips, and finally looked up at the Queen Mother, and said softly: "Mother, I want to take An'er back and raise him myself for a while."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became low. For a moment, there was no other sound except the breathing of the crowd.

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea from the cup and said slowly, "Why, do you regret giving the child to me to raise?"

Zhou Ruo quickly shook his head: "No, I have never regretted it, it's just..."

At this point, Zhou Ruo's eyes were red. "It's just that this child is not close to me now, which makes me really sad and guilty. I want to take An'er back and raise him well for a while. This can make up for my neglect of him some time ago, and by the way, it can also cultivate the relationship between us mother and son."

"Mother, you are also a mother, you will understand my feelings, right?"

The Queen Mother's face darkened and she said nothing.

If Zhou Ruo said this, she would be putting her in a position of power. If she disagreed, it would seem that she was not worthy of being a mother, let alone being considerate.

Lin Qingqing, who was standing aside, glanced at the Queen Mother's expression, then looked at Zhou Ruo and sneered, "Didn't the Queen Mother mention it a while ago? But what did you say at the time? You said that the child had grown up here with the Queen Mother and had gotten used to everything here. You were afraid that you couldn't take good care of the child, so you rejected the Queen Mother's proposal. It's only been a short time, and you've changed your mind?"

The queen mother picked up the teacup and drank tea without saying a word.

Zhou Ruo didn't look at Lin Qingqing, but stared at the Queen Mother, and explained anxiously: "It's not that I didn't want to raise An'er last time. I, I was just afraid that my mother would be angry, so I said those words."

"I have no one to rely on in this palace. Only my mother loves me. If even my mother is angry with me, how can I survive in the harem?" Zhou Ruo choked up and said, "So, I said something against my will that day."

Lin Qingqing snorted: "On the one hand, you feel inferior because of your background, and on the other hand, you use your background to pretend to be pitiful. You can say both good and bad things."

Zhou Ruo looked at Lin Qingqing fiercely: "Xian Fei, I really don't know how I offended you. Do you have to go against me?"

Lin Qingqing said leisurely: "I'm not against you, I just can't stand it."

"you……"

"That's enough," the Queen Mother interrupted their quarrel and looked down at Zhou Ruo, "I'll leave An'er here with me. You can come visit him from time to time. You don't have to take him back."

Zhou Ruo held the child tightly and insisted, "Mother, I, I still want to take An'er back... He grew up with you and is familiar with everything here. With you here, how can he see me in his eyes?"

"I promise, I will take good care of An'er. When he can remember me as his mother, I will send An'er back. From now on, everything will be the same as it is now. I will come to visit him often."
