Chapter 60 : The Omega Gathering
The Heavenly Empress was floating on cloud nine. After trying hard to conceive for fifteen years, she was rewarded with a successful pregnancy!
Endless congratulatory messages flooded both the Golden Dragon Palace as well as the Eternal Spring Palace in the next few days.
The most heartfelt congratulations naturally came from her clan at Ling’an Palace. Her father wrote her a letter, saying that he had never been prouder of her.
That one sentence kept the Empress’ lips curling up in delight for days.
In order to let everyone rejoice in this wonderful news, the Empress held a small gathering in her Eternal Spring Palace. The gathering was to be attended by both single and married omegas from all over the heavenly realm.
Of all the omegas who had the opportunity to get close to her, only one person did not know how to appreciate her goodwill -- Xie Jianshen, her insufferable stepson. As if she wanted him to attend! Their mutual dislike proved to be very convenient on such occasions.
Xie Jianshen was the only person in the entire heavenly realm who dared to show her disrespect. Even his supposedly polite apology note sounded infuriatingly impolite.
The Empress rolled with her eyes when one of her maids read a message from Xie Jianshen out loud that morning.
"Congratulations on your pregnancy, Your Highness. May the dragon bloodline live on."
What was that supposed to mean?
The Empress rubbed her belly on cue, as if ascertaining that her baby was still growing inside her.
