On that day, in the Imperial Palace, the Empress Dowager lived in Shou'an Palace.

Mo Jingyao got married yesterday, so naturally he would bring his new wife, Princess Jing, to the palace today to pay respects to his mother and brother.

Shou'an Palace, inside the main hall.

Empress Dowager Lou and Mo Lingtian sat in the center seat, watching Mo Jingyao and Su Xuan come forward to greet and serve tea.

Although Su Xuan, the Princess of Jing, and Mo Jingyao are a perfect match, many things have happened recently, especially Su Huan's behavior, which has made Su Xuan look inferior.

This person is most afraid of comparison, especially before this, when a person who was suppressed by himself suddenly jumped up and crushed him. With a reversal, there is naturally a gap.

Empress Dowager Lou looked at the two people in front of her and said calmly, "Okay, everyone get up."

Mo Jingyao helped Su Xuan up and then sat down next to her.

Su Xuan heard what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion at Prince Jing's Mansion last night. Her mother had passed away, and her eldest and second brothers were also eliminated from the Imperial Star Academy.

Even though getting married is the most joyous occasion, she is not in the mood to really ignore those things now.

She knew clearly that all those things were because of Su Huan. She thought of her mother's high hopes for her two brothers. When the two brothers graduated from the Emperor Star Academy, they had a bright future with their father's protection. However, because of these troubles, they were eliminated from the Emperor Star Academy and their future was ruined. Her mother died because of these regrets.

Damn it, that bitch Su Huan, just wait for her, when she secures her position as Princess Jing, she will make that bitch Su Huan pay with blood.

Empress Dowager Lou's eyes fell on Su Xuan. No matter how calm she pretended to be, some things could not be hidden no matter how hard she tried.

"The day after tomorrow will be your return gift. When you return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can express your filial piety in private. Since it has been handled secretly, there is no need to make it known to everyone. All the previous things have finally been put to rest. Don't let any more trouble happen. Don't forget that you are now the Princess of Jing, the mistress of the Jing Palace. You must take the reputation of the Jing Palace into consideration in everything you do."

How could Su Xuan not understand what the Empress Dowager meant? In fact, the commotion in the Prime Minister's Mansion was enough to show her father's attitude. Even her father wanted to keep her mother's death a secret. No matter what, she would never go out of her way to make a fuss and make a big deal out of it.

"I understand what the Queen Mother means. It is a grace that the Queen Mother allows me to return to the Prime Minister's Residence to express my condolences in private."

Empress Dowager Lou: "After all, she is your mother, so you still have to show the proper etiquette."

Su Xuan: "Yes."

Mo Jingyao: "Don't worry, mother. I will be with you when the time comes. I will take care of these things."

Mo Lingtian: "Prime Minister Su will take care of these things. You just need to go and express your gratitude. There is no need to make too much trouble, otherwise it will ruin Prime Minister Su's arrangements."

Mo Jingyao: "Brother, I still have some sense of propriety. It seems that my subordinates can only cause trouble."

Mo Lingtian: "You have always been idle and free-spirited, and you have never taken care of these things seriously. If that's the case, why not let someone with experience do it? You don't have to get involved."

Mo Jingyao: "Yes, my royal brother has specifically said so, and I will definitely do as he says and will not ruin the arrangements made by Prime Minister Su, my father-in-law."

Empress Dowager Lou smiled and said, "Now that you have a family, you should be more mature and stable in the future. The most important thing is that I can have a grandson soon."

Mo Jingyao: "My brother has many children, my nephews and nieces are all doing better, isn't it enough for mother to have grandchildren?"

Empress Dowager Lou: "Your brother is your brother, and you are you. You are both my sons. I hope that both of you will have many descendants."

Mo Lingtian: "Sixth brother, whatever the Queen Mother says is what we have to do. She is not urging you to do it right away. You just need to pay attention to it."

Mo Jingyao: "Yes, my brother."

Empress Dowager Lou: "Only an emperor can control him."

Mo Jingyao: "Mother, I listen to your words very much."

Just as Empress Dowager Lou was about to speak, a palace servant came in and reported, "Your Highness, Prince Ning is outside asking to see you."

Empress Dowager Lou: "Why did he come to the palace today without being summoned?"

Mo Lingtian: "After Prince Ning's leg was crippled, he rarely came out for a walk. Normally, unless he was summoned or there was something very important, he would stay in Prince Ning's mansion. He took the initiative to ask for an audience, so why doesn't your mother want to see him?"

Empress Dowager Lou: "Let him in."

The palace maid went to summon him.

Mo Jingyao asked, "Royal brother, what is he doing here? It's just a spoiler."

Mo Lingtian: "I don't care what you think in private, but you still need to do your best on the surface and don't let the world laugh at you."

Mo Jingyao: "Yes, my brother."

Empress Dowager Lou: "According to the current situation, the only thing that has fallen on Prince Ning is the marriage that you, the emperor, granted him. The imperial decree has been issued, but the wedding date has not been determined. He probably came here for this matter."

Mo Lingtian: "Mother is very wise. We didn't fully understand Su Huan at that time. I didn't expect that she was a person who hid her incompetence."

Empress Dowager Lou: "Does the Emperor regret marrying Su Huan to Prince Ning?"

Mo Lingtian: "At the beginning, it wasn't like this, was it? All the tests we had to make at the beginning were based on the fact that Su Huan was not outstanding. She performed well at her aunt's birthday banquet. No matter how outstanding she was, she was just a girl in the boudoir. At most, she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If she married Prince Ning, would she be able to help Prince Ning's disabled legs stand up again, or would she be able to do something earth-shaking."

Mo Jingyao glanced at Su Xuan beside him, "Xuan'er, don't worry. You are better than anyone else in my eyes. That stinky girl Su Huan is not even as good as your fingernail."

Su Xuan's expression eased a little.

Empress Dowager Lou said seriously, "There are some things that can only be avoided by constantly improving oneself. It doesn't matter how outstanding you were in the capital before. Now that there are newcomers, you should make yourself better. You are the Princess of Jing, don't let people think that you are inferior to her."

Su Xuan: "Yes, Queen Mother."

At the same time, Mo Qianhan was pushed in by palace servants in a wheelchair.

Empress Dowager Lou and Mo Lingtian looked at the person sitting in the wheelchair. It was obvious to the naked eye that the person sitting in the wheelchair did not look like a normal person and exuded a sense of weakness.

Mo Qianhan sat in a wheelchair and saluted to the person above him, "I pay my respects to my mother and my brother."

Empress Dowager Lou: "No need to be so polite."

Then, Mo Lingtian asked directly, "Fourth brother, did you come here specially to marry Su Huan?"
