Eunuch Qin was not making things up when he brought up the retired emperor.

When he was about to come over after the morning court session, the emperor gave him a few more instructions.

At that time, the emperor was also afraid that he would not be able to invite the queen, so he said that he had dreamed of the emperor, who hoped that the prince of Jin's wedding would be grand and perfect if his brother and sister-in-law could all attend.

The emperor also said that he dreamed that the retired emperor told him that if none of them went, the marriage at the Prince of Jin's Mansion would be deserted, or if their absence led to some people talking behind people's backs about the Prince of Jin, thinking that he really had no one to protect him and was an idle prince with no power or status, then the retired emperor would continue to look for him in his dreams.

In the end, no one knew what persuaded the queen.

"Alright, I understand. I will go to Prince Jin's Mansion tomorrow."

The queen really agreed to go, and the prince was extremely surprised.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

He was so excited that he walked over quickly and hugged the queen.

The queen was stunned for a moment, her body becoming a little stiff.

The prince reacted, let go of her, and took two steps back, with a gleam in his eyes.

His palms were slightly sweaty.

Even he himself did not expect that he actually hugged his mother.

For the first time in so many years.

He no longer had any memories of being close to his mother.

Although he took the initiative this time, it was indeed the first time he and his mother hugged each other in all these years.

Nanny Huan was also a little surprised.

Seeing that the Queen stood there without any reaction, she understood that the Queen must be too shocked and very uncomfortable.

During the years that the Crown Prince was growing up, the Queen Mother never even did things like patting the Crown Prince on the shoulder or touching his head.

"Your Majesty." Nanny Huan called the Queen softly.

The queen came back to her senses and her expression softened slightly.

She said to the prince, "I will only be there for a short while. I will leave after they have finished their ceremony."

The prince was already very happy that she could go.

"Okay, I'll have someone escort your mother back to the palace. What does your mother need? I'll have someone prepare it now."

The prince was afraid that there was something missing in the Buddhist temple. He looked at the queen and thought about sending her a new set of clothes.

The queen did not reject his arrangement and nodded in agreement.

Then she said to Eunuch Tan, "Eunuch Tan, I will go with A Ze when the time comes. Please tell the Emperor not to wait for me."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qin looked at the prince inquiringly.

The Queen still didn't consider the Crown Prince's side in this matter.

Such a happy event would be a lively occasion with all the officials present, and there might also be many common people watching. Whoever went in and out with the emperor was naturally a symbol.

One is to touch the center of imperial power, to reach that position. Or to be a person favored by the emperor, whose status is naturally not ordinary.

If the prince could appear with the emperor and empress at this time, people would re-examine his status. Moreover, if the empress and the emperor traveled side by side, it would also make everyone in the harem more at ease and no longer look down on the empress.

She wanted to let the world know that although the Queen had been secluded in the Buddhist temple for so many years, her position as Queen was secure. Now that she had come out, the Emperor still gave her enough respect.

We can also mention the importance of the prince.

Why not?

But the Queen Mother insisted on going her separate ways from the Emperor.

Your Highness the Crown Prince must persuade the Queen.

The prince sighed lightly, looked at his mother's cold expression, and nodded slightly to Eunuch Qin.

"Please, Eunuch Tan, reply to my father."

He admitted it.

As long as the Queen Mother is willing to go out, it will be fine.

Eunuch Qin sighed inwardly and bowed before retreating. "Then I will return to report."

Nanny Huan said, "I'll see Eunuch Tan off."

It's a good opportunity to give the Queen and the Crown Prince some space to talk.

However, just as Nanny Huan saw Eunuch Qin off, she turned around and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming out.

She glanced behind the prince and saw the queen standing there looking out from afar.

Well, couldn’t I chat for a few more words, or walk a few steps with the prince?

Nanny Huan was also feeling extremely helpless.

She didn't even know whether the mother-son relationship between the Queen and the Prince could deepen in the future.

When the crown prince takes that position in the future, it may be even more difficult for him to get close to the queen, after all, the queen's heart is different.

"Your Highness, are you leaving now? Otherwise, please sit for a while. I will make you a pot of tea. Sit down and talk to the Queen about what you need to pay attention to tomorrow. After all, the Queen hasn't left the palace for a long time." Nanny Huan said to the prince.

The prince was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "No need. I just asked Queen Mother if there was anything I needed to tell her, and she said no. If there's anything, we can talk on the way out of the palace tomorrow. Nanny Huan, I'll trouble you with Queen Mother's affairs. I'll have someone send some new clothes over later."

Nanny Huan had no choice but to bow and reply, "I obey your command and respectfully escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince waved his hand and turned to leave.

After Nanny Huan entered, she glanced at the Empress, sighed softly, and asked, "Your Majesty, it seems the Crown Prince still has a lot to talk to you about. Why did you let him go?"

The Queen Mother said, "There is nothing to say."

In fact, she didn't know what to say to the prince. She was afraid that if she said a few more words, she would have another disagreement with the prince. If they quarreled at this time, the atmosphere might be even worse when they went to Prince Jin's Mansion together tomorrow, so it would be better to let him leave first.

After the prince returned to the Eastern Palace, he ordered the clothes and headgear that had been prepared for the empress to be sent to the Buddhist temple.

He had often had new clothes prepared for the Empress over the years. For example, during the Qixi Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival, the New Year, or other sacrificial ceremonies, he thought, just in case his mother suddenly wanted to attend.

But it has never been delivered before.

This time it finally came in handy.

The Crown Prince sent someone to the Prince of Jin's mansion to tell the Emperor's uncle. "Tell the Emperor's uncle that the Empress will be going with me tomorrow, and that my father will also be there. Ask the Emperor's uncle if he should allow my father and mother to sit in the throne."

"Yes."

At this time, the emperor was still in the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

He had promised to stay by Zhou Shiyue's side, and he really hadn't left his side. He had slept in Prince Jin's room the entire night, forcing him to give up his bed while he spent the night on the couch.

There was almost no place to put his long legs, which was really miserable.

When Zhou Shiyue woke up this morning, he felt a bit grumpy. But the old man was doing this for his own good, so he couldn't vent his anger.

Fortunately, he is getting married tomorrow, and the old man can no longer stay by his side. It would be better for Lu Xiaoer to stay by his side.

The servants from the East Palace came forward to tell him something, and the retired emperor heard it nearby. Before the people from the East Palace left, the retired emperor jumped up.

"I'm still here, how come it's their turn to sit in the high seat?"

Don't even think about it.
