Chapter 153 Empress Dowager Wang: It’s impossible for me to be bored
Song Ci was right, there was indeed someone talking about her, and it was none other than the current Empress Dowager.
Inside the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Wang was discussing with her son, the Emperor, about the heir she had chosen and their plans for him.
"Aci is broad-minded. Just from how she raised a child like Yunzhi, I trust her abilities. Sending that child to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, I believe, is definitely better than staying in the Uncle’s Mansion; at least the person is alive," Empress Dowager Wang mentioned the Uncle’s Mansion with disdain on her face.
Emperor Chu stroked the yellow jade prayer beads in his hand, resting the other hand on the bed table, and said, "Mother, since you are willing to adopt the heir for uncle’s line, and the child is only six years old, why not bring him to the palace for personal nurturing?"
"I nurture him myself?" Empress Dowager Wang widened her eyes. She hadn’t even brought her grandson close for teaching, how could she teach a stranger’s child, that wouldn’t work.
Besides, she hadn’t raised a child in many years, it was absolutely out of the question.
"You’re also a bit bored at Cining Palace; having a child by your side could relieve your boredom, couldn’t it?"
Empress Dowager Wang pointed to herself, amused: "Emperor, you say I’m bored? Where am I bored? If I want to watch a play, there are people to perform for me, if I want to listen to music or watch a dance, aren’t there your concubines to entertain me? Even playing cards, there are plenty to accompany me. It’s impossible for me to be bored, I don’t feel bored at all."
But if there were a child in the palace, causing noise all day, oh dear, would she not be annoyed to death?
No, it won’t work.
Emperor Chu’s mouth twitched slightly, looking at his mother, a bit speechless.
