"Thank you, my dear mother, for your support!" Mo Chuan bowed deeply to Queen Mother Zhou and expressed his sincere admiration.
Empress Dowager Zhou had a straight face and sneered: "Perfect? When did the Ai family say that they will fulfill you? Emperor, please don't come to Shoukang Palace to pay your respects in the past few days, so as not to cause criticism, and don't make any concessions." The ancestors have been humiliated. I might as well tell you that the Ai family has asked King Jing'an to guard the temple. If you dare to step into the temple, the Ai family will ask him to break one of the girl's legs. If you have two feet If you step into the Buddhist hall, break that girl's legs. If you enter the Buddhist hall with your whole body, what do you think the Ai family will do?"
Mo Chuan couldn't help but feel angry and said in a cold voice: "Mother, why don't you just order to chop off my head? If there is a mistake, it is my fault and it has nothing to do with her. You promised me that you would not embarrass her. Could it be that Doesn’t the queen’s words mean anything?”
"The Ai family has no intention of embarrassing her, but if the emperor forgets his identity, the Ai family will not show mercy." Empress Dowager Zhou flicked her sleeves, swept down the tea cup on the table, and shouted: "Emperor, the sky is beautiful It's late, you should go back to deal with political affairs. There are so many important things that need to be dealt with every day, but you are here to worry about a woman's affairs! Is it possible that the affairs of the people are not as important as a woman in your heart? The family looks down on you!”
Every word she said struck Mo Chuan in the face like a whip.
Mo Chuan raised his chin, with a look of determination in his eyes: "Mother, the people are important, and she is equally important. I understand what my mother means. I will never let my mother down, and my mother will not let her son down. "
Empress Dowager Zhou's face softened slightly and she showed a look of satisfaction: "Good boy, as long as you do well, the Ai family will naturally not let you down. It's just that the Ai family heard that Dong Qin had sent an envoy to collect the annual tribute. We will arrive in Kyoto soon, how prepared is the emperor to welcome him? "
Mo Chuan looked solemn and nodded: "Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. It is clearly not the day to pay the annual tribute, but they have sent people to demand it. It is clear that they have other plans. Don't worry, mother, I will handle it carefully." , will not give them any opportunity to take advantage of.”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother Zhou sighed, and for the first time her eyes showed the kindness of a loving mother when she looked at Mo Chuan: "Good boy, it's really hard for the Ai family to put such a heavy burden on your shoulders. Back then, The Ai family pushed you to the throne against all opinions, not for selfish reasons, but because no one else can shoulder this burden except you. In the past few years, you must be very unhappy as the emperor, right? "
In fact, she knew without asking that since her son ascended the throne, his temperament has become increasingly cold and aloof, with few smiles on his face. He is immersed in state affairs all day long, and he has never even spoken to her, his biological mother. .
Many times she didn't know what her son was thinking.
But she could tell that he was unhappy as the emperor.
He is taciturn and depressed.
As a mother, how could she not feel distressed when she saw this? She sincerely hopes that her son can find a like-minded person who can untie the knot in his heart and make him smile.
Yesterday, Queen Mother Zhou saw for the first time in Mo Chuan's eyes a brilliance that she had never seen before. When he looked at a girl with such affectionate and focused eyes, he couldn't help but smile at her...
From that moment, Queen Mother Zhou knew that the girl who opened his heart had finally appeared!
