"My sister has been living a leisurely life in Qingqiu Palace these years. The wife she wants may be obedient. However, in this deep palace, Ah Kai is a person who does not fight or compete. If she does not have a powerful wife, I am afraid she will be bullied by many people."
Although they had not seen each other for many years, the Queen and Concubine Jin knew each other's personalities. When the Queen heard Concubine Jin say that A'man was too bold, she knew what Concubine Jin was thinking and could not help but persuade her. She really liked A'man's personality.
"Sister, Akai will be a rich and idle prince in the future, and his wife will be well-educated and well-mannered, and the two of them will live in harmony."
When Concubine Jin heard the Queen mention Murong Kai's personality, she disliked A'man's personality even more. She was afraid that her son would be bullied.
"We don't have the final say on these. It all depends on Akai and the Empress Dowager. She said before that Akai's marriage is not in the Great Zhou."
"Sister, after going through so many things, I am no longer superstitious about the Empress Dowager." When talking about the Empress Dowager, Concubine Jin's voice became cold and every word she said frightened the Queen.
"My sister also said that you regret it. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager, how could things have come to this point?" Concubine Jin's words were very soft, but the resentment still leaked out in her words.
"Before today, I had no resentment towards the Grand Empress Dowager, but seeing Akai hovering between life and death, I really regretted listening to the Grand Empress Dowager's words. I..."
Concubine Jin was unable to utter a single sad word, but her attitude was surprisingly firm.
"It happened suddenly. You've been thinking too much, sister. You should go back to the palace and have a rest first. I'll help you look after Akai." Looking at Concubine Jin's expression, the Queen naturally knew that Concubine Jin was sad because she believed in the Grand Empress Dowager back then. She also believed in the Grand Empress Dowager. Now, not to mention Concubine Jin, even her own trust in the Grand Empress Dowager had been shaken.
"Sister Queen, I really don't want to ruin Akai's life. Princess Jiaoyang is the apple of Emperor Bei'an's eye. I'm worried about Akai..."
Even though the Queen was trying to change the subject, Concubine Jin kept thinking that if Murong Kai really married Princess Bei'an, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was not a good choice.
"Akai is still young. It's a bit too early for us to worry about his marriage now."
Seeing that Concubine Jin insisted, the Queen knew in her heart that this was not a good time to discuss the marriage between Murong Kai and A'man.
"Well, I'd better trouble you to spend more time to find a princess for Akai who is from a famous family."
Concubine Jin was still insisting, or rather, she was forcing the Queen to express her opinion. After all, it was too easy for the Queen to influence the marriage of a prince.
"Akai is your son, so his marriage is naturally yours." The Queen said what Concubine Jin wanted to hear, but the Queen was not in a good mood, because she always felt that A'man's proud and bright personality complemented Akai's dull and disciplined personality, and the two of them were a rare match.
But she was only the nominal mother, and since Concubine Jin insisted, she had no choice but to agree.
"Go and rest first, and then you can stay here when it's daybreak." The Queen suggested again, but Concubine Jin just shook her head. She got up and sat next to the Queen, and said softly, "Sister Queen, you have been with Akai all these years. Tell me about his affairs."
"Although Akai has been raised by me all these years, the Grand Empress Dowager has also taken great care of him." The Queen looked at Concubine Jin and said solemnly.
Concubine Jin looked at the queen and said nothing.
"Akai's teachers in literature and martial arts were all sent by the Grand Empress Dowager. They taught Akai very well. Grand Empress Dowager, they are worthy of your trust." The Queen's words were soft, but they struck Concubine Jin's heart like a heavy hammer.
