Chapter 1017: His Majestyâs Mother-in-Law (1)
The candlelight crackled.
Jiang Huaian helped his mother find a seat and sat down.
âMother, please sit down first before your son speaks.â Jiang Huaianâs butt was still hurting from the fall in the royal study.
Madam Xia smiled helplessly. â Weâre just talking. Why are you so serious? â Even if your dead father is alive now, I wonât change my face.â Madam Xia was extremely calm.
He waved his hand and sat down.
Then, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it. Jiang Huaian paused and wanted to snatch the cup back.
However, Madam Xia patted the back of her hand, causing her hand to turn red.
âIs your mother such a timid person? If you have something to say, say it. â Madam Xia was extremely helpless. She felt that her son was too timid.
Madam Wen covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
âMother has seen the world. Itâs fine.â Madam Wen said with a smile.
Jiang Huaian coughed dryly and stole a glance at Luluâs tightly shut door.
âMother, do you mind being His Majestyâs mother-in-law?â
The smile on Madam Xiaâs face slowly froze.
Pa daâŠ
The teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Madam Xia gasped. Jiang Huaian moved quickly and covered her mouth.
âMother, Iâm sorry. This matter should not be publicized.â Jiang Huaian could feel his mother trembling and couldnât help but recall the time he was in the royal study. Sigh âŠ
He couldnât keep his cool.
Madam Xia slapped him away. No room for negotiation? Has His Majesty spoken?â Madam Xia frowned. In fact, she had a vague guess in her heart.
His Majesty doted on Lulu too much.
She doted on him so much that even as his mother, she couldnât stand it.
However, once she entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea. Madam Xia did not want Lulu to sit in that high and cold position.
âHis Majesty already calls me brother-in-law.â Jiang Huaianâs eyes widened.
Madam Xia sighed after a long time.
During this period of time, she had been looking everywhere. She didnât want to be from a rich family, but at least she wanted to be of equal status.
Too high or too low, there were drawbacks.
However, those who were too high were taboo and His Majesty did not dare to look at them.
Those who were too low seemed to only want to rely on Luluâs favor so that it would be easier for them to walk in the court in the future. He wasnât sincere towards Lulu.
âLetâs keep this a secret for now. Donât spread it. â Madam Xia closed her eyes and frowned.
In the morning, the Zheng family came to the Jiang family to take in concubines. In the afternoon, the two families fought in front of the Zheng familyâs door.
In the afternoon, the Zheng family was reprimanded by the Emperor. On the surface, it was said that the Ye family had brought this upon themselves, but as long as one thought about it deeply, one could guess the truth.
I rush to the crown, angry for a beauty.
Suddenly, Madam Xia recalled the Daoist who had once caused trouble in front of the Jiang family.
The Taoist priestâs words of calamity.
Madam Xiaâs eyelids twitched uneasily.
At night, the little girl seemed to have sensed something. She was barefooted and in her middle clothes, she landed in the Emperorâs bedroom.
There were no more servants in the sleeping hall.
A handsome man dressed in bright yellow stood under the lamp. His black hair was as black as ink, and his eyes were like stars. He was smiling at her.
âItâs so cold. Why are you stepping on the ground?â Jiang Huaian was taller than her. When he slowly walked over, Lulu actually felt a sense of oppression.
He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, looking extraordinarily handsome.
The man bent down and picked her up horizontally.
âAh!â Lulu was startled.
She hurriedly reached out and hooked her arm around his.
Lu Huaijiang paused and took a deep breath.
He placed her on the soft couch and reached out to place her fair and round toes between his palms.
âYoung lady, you canât let your feet get cold. You canât be so careless in the future.â The manâs voice was low.
It was a scene that he had done countless times since he was young, but LuluâŠ
Her ears turned red.
It messed up his mood.
Nine Heavens, inside the Divine Palace.
In the rippling pond, a lotus quietly bloomed.
It was the most dazzling figure.
Around him, immortal energy flowed, filled with affection.
