In front of Quanqing Palace.

“Please, the Queen Mother is waiting for you inside.”

The eunuch stretched out his hand toward Joey and made an inward movement, twitching the corners of his mouth and smiling.

Ever since Joey knew that Wei Shanlian killed Qiao Yunlan himself, he had never stepped foot into Quanqing Palace again.

After careful calculation, Joey thought that it had been six years since he last came here.

Looking at the still majestic palace gate in front of him, Joey endured the discomfort in his heart and stepped in expressionlessly. Forget it, it doesn’t matter, this should be the last time he goes in anyway.

Entering the inner hall, Joey raised his eyes and saw Wei Shanlian lying on the chaise longue.

Joey knelt down and saluted, his moon-white cloak scattered on the floor of the inner hall, like unmelted snowflakes.

“The Queen Mother is well.”

Wei Shanlian didn’t seem to hear, she still closed her eyes and rested, but didn’t speak to ask anyone to get up.

Joey just knelt on the ground and waited quietly.

After about a stick of incense, Wei Shanlian woke up leisurely. When she opened her eyes, she saw Joey on the ground. She looked surprised, “Hey! Joey, why didn’t you tell the Aijia that you were here? What do you do for food?! Why don’t you help him up quickly!”

While talking, Wei Shanlian asked with concern: “My child, how long have you been kneeling for? Are you okay? Look at the people in the Ai family, they are really ignorant. They have been here for so long, why don’t they know how to wake up the Ai family?”

Aunt Ming lowered her head, “It’s my fault.”

Joey watched silently.

“Okay.” Wei Shanlian waved her sleeves, “The Ai family may not have seen this child for a long time. I want to have a few words of respect with him. You all should go down first.”

“Yes.”

A group of palace maids and eunuchs filed out.

“Come and sit.” Wei Shanlian pulled Joey to the side and sat down.

As if feeling a little nostalgic, Wei Shanlian looked at Joey’s mature face and said, “Unknowingly, that child Yunlan has been gone for ten years, and you have grown up.”

Joey was silent and didn’t answer.

“Were you still complaining about the Ai family when you were not asked to send Yun Lan off for her last journey?” Wei Shanlian seemed helpless, “But the Ai family did this as a last resort. You have to understand…”

Joey: “The Empress Dowager is serious. You have a noble status and do everything you should. Who can complain about you?”

Hearing Joey’s words, Wei Shanlian seemed to be hurt, “The Ai family knows that you are Yun Lan’s adopted child, but you did not come out of her belly. Without any adoption ceremony, how can you be regarded as her real child? The Qiao family had certain considerations when they didn’t let you guard Yun Lan’s funeral. If your name is not justified, how can you be qualified?”

“That’s what you said.” Joey said calmly, “It’s just that so many years have passed and those things are no longer important.”

“You kid…” Wei Shanlian took Joey’s hand, “If you really don’t care, how come you haven’t been willing to come to Quanqing Palace to see the Ai family for so many years. If the Ai family hadn’t issued an order to come to the palace today, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have shied away from it today.”

Joey lowered his eyebrows: “As His Royal Highness’s companion, I really don’t have that much time.”

“Speaking of this…” Wei Shanlian’s tone was a little dissatisfied, “Even if he is the prince’s companion, the Ai family has never seen anyone who is so busy spinning like a top. That Lou Ling is too much.”

“It’s none of Crown Prince Rong Hua’s business, it’s my own. It’s because I want to take part in the imperial examination, so I have to work harder.” Joey said.

Wei Shanlian was surprised, “You want to take the imperial examination?”

Joey: “Yes.”

“Why?”

Joey: “It’s human nature to gain fame, start a family, and start a career.”

“Yes.” Wei Shanlian seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said: “If the Ai family remembers correctly, you are already twenty-one this year, right?”

“Yes.”

Wei Shanlian: “Since the marriage between Crown Prince Rong Hua and Crown Prince Concubine was completed yesterday, you have been with Crown Prince Rong Hua for so many years. At this age, it is indeed time for you to leave Prince Lin’s Mansion and start your own business.”

Joey, who heard the underlying meaning of Wei Shanlian’s words, said: “…”

“Although the Ai family should not interfere in your marriage, Yunlan’s child is no longer here, and you are far away in the capital now, and the Qin family cannot marry you. How about the Ai family choose a woman who is knowledgeable, sensible, and compatible with you, and let the emperor grant you a marriage?”

Joey twitched his lips and said, “I don’t dare bother you, the Queen Mother.”

“As the Ai family gets older, they just want to see you juniors get married and have children. Aren’t you willing to satisfy the Ai family even with this wish?” Wei Shanlian was a little unhappy.

“Joy doesn’t dare.” Joey lowered his head.

Wei Shanlian looked at Joey who was bowing his head and said nothing. His face was pale. He no longer had the kindness he had towards him when Qiao Yunlan was still there, but his attitude in speech was still gentle and kind. “In that case, your marriage will be managed by the Ai family. The Ai family knows that you have been with Prince Rong Hua these years and have not dated other women.It just so happens that the plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are blooming in a few days.How about we take this opportunity and organize a flower banquet in the palace under the leadership of the Ai family, so that you can take this opportunity to meet the ladies from various families in the capital. If there are any who you like, the Ai family will make the arrangements for you.”

Joey said nothing.

“Good boy…” Wei Shanlian did not force Joey to agree, but gently pinned up the loose hair on Joey’s temples with his hand, “When you are young, you should not only think about getting fame, but also starting a family and starting a career. Don’t think about the things you committed when you were young and ignorant. You have to know that as a man, at this age, what is the most important thing for you now. Don’t let some insignificant people and things block your way forward.”

Joey heard the hidden meaning and raised his eyes.

Wei Shanlian had a kind look on her face, and gently touched the red marks on Joey’s neck that were not fully covered, “You should know what is most important to you.”

“…”

Joey was silent, as if thinking.

Wei Shanlian was not in a hurry. She looked at Joey who was still struggling calmly. What is the relationship between two men?Oh!What is that? Didn’t Xiao Ming risk his life for a woman before, but didn’t he change his mind in the end?

Even if Wei Minrao can’t capture Xiao Feng’s heart for the time being, as long as Joey leaves Prince Lin’s Mansion, and as long as the relationship between Jiang Qin and Lou Ling develops, the control of the Lou family will ultimately belong to her, Wei Shanlian.

Wei Shanlian looked at Joey quietly, “Good boy, I hope you can make the right choice, but don’t be like your mother.”

“The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have grown up together and have a deep relationship. You should understand…”

Wei Shanlian tried to give another dose of strong medicine, but before she could finish her words, Joey spoke.

“Okay.”

Wei Shanlian paused, looked at Joey’s determined look, and smiled, “What a good boy.
