Chapter 23: Strong Enemy Attacks_1
It is said that a mother’s status rises with her son’s, and this phrase couldn’t be more apt for the Qin royal family. Qin Wudao’s mother is a perfect example. When Qin Wudao was mediocre, she was just a fifth-rank consort. Now, she is a first-rank noble consort.
"Greetings, Mother!"
Inside the luxurious Phoenix Luan Hall, Qin Wudao respectfully paid his respects.
On the jade chair in the center of the grand hall sat a woman dressed in splendid attire, adorned with golden hairpins. She maintained a cordial demeanor and wore a warm smile.
She was Qin Wudao’s mother, named Willow Orchid.
"No need for formalities, my child. Come, get up!"
Seeing the son she longed for, Willow Orchid hurried forward to help him up. After carefully examining him and confirming he was unharmed, she said cheerfully, "My son has grown up and become successful!"
"Mother, whatever success I might achieve, I am still your son!" Qin Wudao grinned. In this world, it was Willow Orchid who had raised him. As an orphan in his previous life, he treasured this bond even more.
"Good, I knew you would come. I made a few of your favorite dishes!" Willow Orchid led Qin Wudao to a table in the side hall and ordered the palace maid, "Bring the dishes!"
Soon, the maid presented five dishes, placed them on the table, curtsied, and retreated from the grand hall.
