His Majesty is ill again.

This time, even Cao Dongyang followed his mother into the palace.

However, the emperor has many concubines and children. Although he followed the eldest princess into the palace, he just waited outside the palace. He made a special trip just to show off to others.

The eldest princess came out of the palace, exchanged a few simple greetings with the concubines waiting outside the palace, and then took Cao Dongyang to Shoukang Palace to meet the empress dowager.

Liquor debts are commonplace, and their lives are rare in the past seventy years.

The Empress Dowager had passed her seventieth birthday, and although she was not confused, her health was declining, especially her legs, which were in constant pain and difficult to move, so she rarely left Shoukang Palace.

Her son has been busy with government affairs recently and his health has been getting worse. As a mother, she wanted to go and see him in person, but was persuaded by the servants.

Concubine Shu will definitely send someone to deliver news about the emperor's condition.

"I am old and useless."

The Queen Mother was worried about her son, but she didn't want to make him worry, so she lay on the couch and wiped away her tears.

The palace maid was just about to comfort her when she heard that the eldest princess and Prince An were coming, and she suddenly became energetic again.

"My son, I send my regards to my mother."

"Dongyang pays respects to the old ancestor. Long live the old ancestor."

The queen mother was extremely happy when she saw the mother and son. She said "good, good, good" happily and waved to Cao Dongyang: "I haven't seen you for a while. Come over to see me."

Cao Dongyang immediately stepped forward and allowed the old ancestor to look at him.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren exchanged pleasantries for a while again.

After the Queen Mother had someone serve Cao Dongyang his favorite cakes, she dismissed the attendants and said to the eldest princess with some sadness: "People, once they get older, they can't bear to see their children and grandchildren not getting along..."

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess glanced at her son who was busy eating, and did not respond to her mother's words.

She understood what her mother meant.

In the past year, the former crown prince overturned his innocence and cleared his name, the deposed crown prince fell, and the King of Wei and the King of Qi fought each other openly and secretly. In the end, both of them were sent to the Shuntian Prefecture jail. Each and every incident was a shameful scandal.

The Queen Mother is just old and doesn't ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but that doesn't mean she is deaf and knows nothing.

They are all her grandsons, but there is only one throne.

Even ordinary families cannot achieve a harmonious and prosperous family, let alone the royal family?

The eldest princess heard everything, but she still didn't say anything.

Her situation is similar to that of the Queen Mother. She is the emperor's biological sister and the aunt of his many sons. She helps no one and remains neutral. It doesn't make much difference to her who will inherit the throne in the future.

"Ancestor, is there anything else?"

Cao Dongyang finished eating a few pieces of dragon whiskers, his mouth full of powder. He smiled, revealing his big white teeth and asked.

Seeing that he still looked the same as when he was a child, the Queen Mother scolded him "sloppy" and smiled as she asked someone to bring another plate to the prince and to pack up another portion.

Dragon Beard Pastry is the specialty of the imperial chefs in the palace. Outside chefs can make it, but it always lacks some quality.

Because of Cao Dongyang's sudden interruption, the empress dowager stopped talking about the children and grandchildren of the previous dynasty and turned the topic to Cao Dongyang.

Cao Dongyang felt sad and anxious. If he had known this would happen, why would he have asked for it?

Cao Dongyang didn't feel relieved until he and his mother left the palace and got on the carriage. He lowered his voice and said, "Mother, why didn't you say a word after you met the ancestor?"

Her Royal Highness the Princess had a solemn expression on her face and shook her head gently.

If this continues, His Majesty will probably die before the Queen Mother...
