GRAND MARSHAL PAMPERED WIFE 72 72. Empress Dowager Tea Party. Part Two.

Empress Dowager looks a little embarra.s.sed at the barrage of questions from her first son, but given her memories, Empress Dowager looks reminiscing about something happy.

"Well-This Dowager was also previously disapproved of marrying your father. As you know, the Jing family doesn't like to be involved in royal political conflicts. My choice to marry your father rejected the basic rules that all Jing family members must follow. That caused the Jing clan to not support me at all while being your father's wife."

Yu Fengyan was stunned to hear His Imperial Mother's explanation. So far he has never understood why His Imperial Mother never mentioned about Jing clan, and never tried to introduce the Jing family members to his two sons. He also understood now why His Imperial Mother always looked sad when some concubines had talked about the Jing family who had never interfered to help her as his father's wife.

"Imperial Mother-"

"It's okay, it's all the past that doesn't need to be remembered. We don't need to think much about the past of this Dowager."

"Alright, Imperial Mother, this Son will not discuss it again. This Son will pay more attention to you."

"This Dowager happy hears that." Empress Dowager looks happy to hear the Emperor's promise to her. "So, what does the Emperor want to ask this Dowager to makes Emperor come here on this hot afternoon?"

"This Son just wants to ask about the tea party that Imperial Mother will hold and why Imperial Mother invited my Empress to join in?"

"You mean why this Dowager invite Empress to attend the tea party event that this Dowager held even though this Dowager knew that Empress was pregnant, right?"

"Yes."

Taking a deep breath, Empress Dowager explained her reason to her first son; "This Dowager is holding this tea party because This Dowager wants to know which side those people This Dowager invited helping. That way this Dowager can take care of your future child well in the Empress' body. Get to know your enemy and you can plan anything well!"

"I see. This Son understands now."

"This Dowager must know from the start who could be a threat to your future child now. This Dowager has been closing in too long from politics and there must have been a lot of changes."

"Yes, Imperial Mother's right to think that. Many changes happen while Imperial Mother closes your Palace's gate."

Yu Fengyan was relieved to hear the reason why His Imperial Mother invited his Empress, it's all being made to protect the Empress pregnancy. He thought before that its all because His Imperial Mother tried to make it difficult for his Empress who was pregnant, it turned out that he thought too narrowly about His Imperial Mother kindness so he felt somewhat guilty.

"This Dowager wants to eat lunch now, can the Emperor accompany this Dowager?"

Yu Fengyan almost refused without realizing it because he used to have lunch with His Empress. Considering the lack of attention the Emperor did to His Imperial Mother since marrying His Empress, Yu Fengyan felt that he had to accompany His Imperial Mother more often. Because of that, the Emperor agreed to eat lunch together with His Imperial Mother.

Yu Fengyan sent a eunuch to inform Empress that he would have lunch with His Imperial Mother so that his wife would not have to wait for him for lunch. Hearing Yu Fengyan willing to have lunch with him, Empress Dowager smiled happily. It's been a long time since she had lunch with her first son. Empress Dowager was relieved that the first son wanted to improve relations with her again.

Yu w.a.n.g stood silently at the guard base that was in the dense growing forest behind Yu w.a.n.g's residence. The prince is overseeing the exercise routine of the elite guards who are training hard inside the training arena. While paying attention to his elite guards' training, Yu w.a.n.g looked dreamy thinking about something serious.

"w.a.n.gye-"

Weis.h.i.+ Yi's voice; Yu w.a.n.g's personal elite guard number one captain interrupted Yu Fengyao's thoughts so the prince looked sideways at him.

"This guard gets information that the Emperor meets Empress Dowager and has lunch together at her Palace."

"Oh- My Imperial Brother finally realized that Imperial Mother cared about him all this time. Sometimes my Imperial Brother becomes too emotional and hard to talk to if some matters involving his Empress."

Weis.h.i.+ Yi heard Yu w.a.n.g complain about the Emperor in front of him acting as if he hadn't heard anything. He could not interfere in that matter because it involved the Emperor's personal affairs. Weis.h.i.+ Yi still wants to live long. For Weis.h.i.+ Yi, the behaviour of the Emperor who was too concerned when it came to His Empress was not much different now from the behaviour of Yu w.a.n.g who began to care about w.a.n.gfei. Of course, Weis.h.i.+ Yi wouldn't remind his w.a.n.gye about that.

"This guard also heard that Empress Dowager not only invited w.a.n.gfei and Empress to attend the tea party but also invited the wives of officials and other members of the royal family's wives."

"I see- Imperial Mother's wants to know where the support of all the husbands from the wives they invited is, to better protect Empress' unborn child. Imperial Mother can always take these steps well. Looks like this prince is still far behind the Imperial Mother in acting."

"Empress Dowager is indeed a wise woman in acting." Weis.h.i.+ Yi unconsciously joined in praising Empress Dowager's actions.

"If that is the reason Imperial Mother invited all those women. This prince feels safe enough for my w.a.n.gfei to attend this tea party."

"Yes, it seems so, w.a.n.gye."

"But, to be safe, this prince will ask my Imperial Brother to invite their husbands too so that this prince can use that excuse to protect my w.a.n.gfei in the Palace."

After getting the idea, Yu w.a.n.g went straight to his study room at the Zhending Courtyard to write a letter to the Emperor about his idea.
