Though Empress Dowager Mo spoke of not caring about the high or low birth of the bride Ah Jiu chose, and not minding whether she was worthy enough of the honor of being the Princess Consort of Jin, as long as he liked her, in her heart, she somewhat hoped that the bride would be well-matched.
She could have low birth, but she must have ability; even if she cannot assist Ah Jiu, she must not be a burden.
To outsiders, Ah Jiu's status seems like a splendid bloom, because he has her, his Royal Mother, as long as she is there, he is noble, but what if she is no longer there?
The legitimate son of the Empress Dowager would be many people's thorn in the eye, including Emperor Yan.
The hints and the hidden restraint Emperor Yan revealed in recent days left Empress Dowager Mo alarmed.
She truly feared that if she passed away, Ah Jiu would fall from the clouds to the mud.
