If it were a normal day, she would definitely be interested in seeing what the Emperor of Great Wisdom looked like. After all, she had met two of the three emperors of this era, and he was the only one left.
But today, just thinking about the child made her feel quite down.
She nodded to Ziyan, "I understand, I'll head back to my room!"
As Ma Lele pushed open the door, a small figure rushed towards her. "Mother, I missed you so much..."
The sweet and clingy voice unique to children lifted Ma Lele's gloomy mood significantly. She chuckled, "We just saw each other yesterday; you missed me that quickly?"
"Yes, yes! A day apart feels like three seasons," Amin said, shaking his head earnestly.
Ma Lele shook her head with amusement. This child would definitely grow up to be a master at charming girls!
"Mother, what do you have in your hand? Is it something to eat?" Amin finally noticed the package in Ma Lele's hand and leaned closer to take a look, instantly changing his expression!
Seeing his unusual reaction, Ma Lele placed the medicine on the table and asked curiously, "Amin, what's wrong?"
Amin lowered his head and remained silent.
Ma Lele felt a chill in her heart. Had she done something to upset him?
So she squatted down and gently coaxed him, "What's wrong, Amin? Can you tell Mother? Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll go teach them a lesson!" Every time she saw Amin's face, which looked just like Lijun's, she couldn't help but want to protect and cherish him.
Could this be considered another form of compensation?
Amin lifted his head, tears welling up in his eyes, looking quite aggrieved. "Mother, it's because you bully me..."
"How did I bully you?" Ma Lele said while wiping his tears, defending herself.
"After you had the baby, you wouldn't like me anymore..." Amin said, and before he knew it, he started to cry loudly.
So that was what it was!
Ma Lele couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. "Amin, even if Mother has a baby, I will still love you. How could I not like such a cute Amin?" In truth, children's hearts are the most sensitive and fragile, especially for a child like Amin who has never experienced maternal love.
At such a young age, he was already worried about losing affection.
Ma Lele felt heartbroken as she hugged him tightly, her eyes filled with pity.
Unconsciously, she had truly begun to see him as her own child.
"Really?" Amin asked in a muffled voice.
"You silly boy, of course it's true!"
Amin finally stopped crying and smiled. "Mother, you're so nice!"
"By the way, Amin, did you come here by yourself?" Ma Lele recalled this and looked at the little one suspiciously.
"No, I came with Dad!"
"Where's your father? Why haven't I seen him?" Ma Lele couldn't help but ask Wen Shaojun, recalling Hua Nongying's strange behavior today.
"Mom misses Dad, right? Then Mom should go home with Amin!" Amin looked at her eagerly upon hearing her question.
Ma Lele felt a bit embarrassed; this child was really too mature for his age.
She shook her head. "Amin, Mom is just your mother; she and your dad are only friends. Since they are friends, it's only polite for me to ask about him!"
"But Amin's mom should be Dad's wife!" Amin listened to her words, feeling very confused.
"Forget it, I can't explain it clearly to you, little carrot head. In short, to sum it up, I have nothing to do with your dad; we are just very ordinary friends. Do you understand?" Ma Lele realized that communicating with him was really exhausting.
It seemed that children were like this; they had to experiment first, and then they would gain experience when raising their own babies in the future!
For some reason, she firmly believed that she would definitely protect the child in her belly!
At the door, a figure stood quietly. Through the crack of the door, he looked at the pure woman inside, and a deep disappointment surged in his eyes.
It turned out that in her eyes, he was just an ordinary friend.
He recalled her words from last night and smiled self-deprecatingly. If he didn't resemble her husband, he probably wouldn't even be considered an ordinary friend in her heart!
Turning around, he walked into another room. He sat down and looked at the man sitting above him respectfully. "Recently, Dayue seems to be restless and has tendencies to provoke war!"
The man sitting above coldly snorted and said, "Who is Tian Feiyao? Don't you know? His goal cannot be merely to swallow a Da Zhou; what he wants is to unify the world."
"What does the young master think?" Wen Shaojun asked softly, slightly furrowing his brow. Tian Feiyao was rumored to be ruthless, decisive, brave, and ambitious. Such a person was indeed difficult to deal with!
"I want to send someone to Dayue to probe their intentions! I heard that Tian Feiyao recently lost a favored consort. You go and select a few stunning beauties to send over!"
Wen Shaojun nodded. "Then let me handle this trip!"
The man above nodded. "That's what I was thinking too; I really don't trust anyone else to go."
"Then I'll start making arrangements right away!"
During dinner, Ma Lele recalled the scene when the mysterious guest left earlier that day and couldn't help but ask, "Hua Nongying, who exactly was that person? So many people were protecting him; it was really high-profile!"
Hua Nongying glanced at her. "That was the Emperor!" She had already considered Ma Lele family and didn't hide it from her. Besides, there were only the two of them here.
"No wonder!" Ma Lele nodded and continued to eat quietly. From now on, she would eat more every day to improve her health.
This body had suffered too much damage; she must protect it well in the future.
After all, her child was still in this body...
"Lele, the time has come for you!" Hua Nongying thought of the task her brother-in-law had entrusted to her and felt a headache coming on!
"What do you want me to do?"
"Our Emperor has sent my brother-in-law to select a few stunning beauties to send to Dayue as offerings to that tyrant!" Hua Nongying said gloomily. Her brother-in-law mentioned that this matter was significant and they must cater to his tastes.
But how could she know what the Great Yue Emperor likes...
Ma Lele had a mouthful of food in her mouth, and after hearing what she said, she spat it all out with a "puff." Her face turned pale. "What did you say? You want to give me to the Great Yue Emperor?"
Hua Nongying saw her panicked expression and quickly said, "How could that be? What I meant was for you to help me choose beautiful women! Lele, why are you so nervous and scared?" Her eyes were filled with doubt.
Ma Lele finally relaxed her tense heart. She turned her face away and said awkwardly, "Because I don't want to go back to Dayue."
Hua Nongying looked as if she suddenly understood. She realized that Ma Lele was a wounded woman who probably thought she was being sent back to Dayue, a place that brought her sorrow!
What a fool!
"You misunderstood me! I just want you to help me pick!" Hua Nongying comforted her.
"Okay, I'll definitely choose some stunning beauties!" Ma Lele smiled, though it looked more like a grimace. She never imagined that one day her job would be to select a group of beautiful women for Tian Feiyao to enjoy!
"By the way, you're from the Great Yue People; do you know your emperor? What type does he like?" Hua Nongying suddenly remembered the most important question and nervously looked at Ma Lele, who was already restless.
Hua Nongying thought of another question and looked at Ma Lele curiously.
Ma Lele finally understood what it meant to rub salt in a wound...
She tried hard to suppress the pain surging within her and smiled, "I don't know either. I'm just a commoner; I've never even seen what the emperor looks like!" She suddenly felt that coming to Hongxiao Tower was completely a wrong decision.
