Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

"After all, the Queen is your mother-in-law, and Miss Luo is your sister-in-law. Miss Luo and you are also friends of similar age. I feel that... Miss Luo and you have a closer relationship."

"..."

Chen Zhining nodded thoughtfully.

This is true.

Miss Luo and I are friends of similar age, so of course I have a closer relationship with Miss Luo.

When she heard what the Queen Mother said, she felt that what she said made a lot of sense.

What the Queen Mother said is simply the best solution.

Chen Zhining nodded and said to the Queen Mother with a smile, "Grandmother! You are absolutely right."

"...Alas, please don't call me the Imperial Grandmother anymore. It just feels wrong."

The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"We are from the same hometown, but you always call me the Empress Dowager, "..."

Chen Zhining smiled and said, "Then I can't just call you by your full name, Royal Grandmother. After all, I am your grandson's daughter-in-law."

...That's true, that's right, Imperial Grandmother...then call her Imperial Grandmother."

The Queen Mother touched Chen Zhining's head and said to her, "Okay, then you can go find Miss Luo and the Crown Prince and ask them what's going on. Then ask if you can tell the Queen and the Emperor about this matter so that they won't worry about it all the time."

Chen Zhining nodded and came out of the Empress Dowager's palace.

After Chen Zhining went out, Jiang Pingan came in not long after.

When the Queen Mother saw Jiang Ping'an, she smiled and said, "Come, come here."

As she spoke, she touched Jiang Ping'an's head very kindly, "Ping'an...The Queen Mother has a few things to tell you."

"..."

Jiang Pingan was stunned and said.

"Grandmother, please tell me."

Then the Queen Mother said with a smile, "I'm afraid you have forgotten that you will soon be the King of Loulan. You don't have to call me the Imperial Grandmother..."

"If possible, considering your age, you should be of the same generation as Zhao Jia and the others, so you should call the Imperial Grandmother your ancestor."

"...If it is possible, I hope that when you return to Kyoto, you will call the Imperial Grandmother your ancestor."

The Queen Mother's words were full of profound meaning. Jiang Ping'an immediately understood what she meant and his eyes were filled with tears.

Unfortunately...he probably won't marry Zhao Jia.

If Jiang Ping'an was the King of Loulan, and if Zhao Jia could marry far away in Loulan, it might still be possible, but it's a pity that they are...

The emperor and the empress would never let Zhao Jiayuan marry Loulan, so this thing was definitely impossible.

Then Jiang Ping'an will never call himself ancestor in his life.

The Queen Mother just smiled and said to Jiang Pingan.

Jiang Ping'an was silent for a moment.

After that, he regained his bright and cheerful appearance and still looked like a sunny boy.

Jiang Ping'an said to the Queen Mother with a smile.

"I understand, ancestor."

"Now, I just want to call you ancestor...I will call you that in the future, and I will work hard in the future."

She listened to Jiang Ping'an's words and smiled, "After that... I want to give you something, you can take it back to Loulan."

"what?"

"This was given to me by Master Kong Kong, and now I give it to you."

"Here, look, this is a string of Buddhist beads, do you like it?"

"This is the red sandalwood Buddhist beads that Master Kong Kong always carries with him. This one is for you."

Jiang Pingan: "......"

Jiang Pingan fell silent.

Jiang Ping'an twitched his lips. If the Queen Mother didn't mention this old monk Kong Kong, he would probably... be happier. But as soon as the Queen Mother mentioned this old monk Kong Kong, he became unhappy.

Damn it, it was this sentence from Monk Kongkong that caused Zhaojia and I to not see each other very often after that.

If Zhao Jia and I could meet more often during this period, I wouldn't be so unhappy.

Now... Zhao Jia and I are separated by thousands of miles and will never meet again.

Just because of this stinky monk!

Jiang Ping'an frowned and said to the Queen Mother, "Don't mention Master Kong Kong anymore. I won't accept the bracelet that Master Kong Kong gave me."

The Queen Mother was stunned and wanted to say something, but then she saw Jiang Ping'an frowning and looking up.

"...The Loulan envoy has something else to do, so I will leave first and will not stay here with you any longer."

The Queen Mother nodded, and he left.

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Ping'an's back, sighed, and said somewhat unhappily.

"......Li Niang."

"You come in."

After Li Niang came in, she heard the Queen Mother say.

"Master Kongkong, how could you say that in front of Ping An and Zhao Jia?!"

"How can you say that in front of them... Alas."

"I feel really sad. This child...will not be able to get along with Zhao Jia anymore. If they can't meet each other, I don't know how I will miss him in the future..."

“This Master Kong Kong!”

As she spoke, she frowned and said to Li Niang, "Later, ask Master Kong Kong to come to the palace! I will give him a good beating."

Li Niang said quickly with a smile.

"Empress Dowager, you and Master Kongkong have known each other since you were young, but...I also want to say something fair."

"You can't be like this with Master Kong Kong... Well, Master Kong Kong is always beaten by you, and he must feel very aggrieved."

"Master Kong Kong, if I'm unhappy and stop giving you lectures, then you'll have one less old friend."

"...That does make sense."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Then I'll hit him less."

"Then ask Master Kong Kong to come to the palace and chant some sutras for me and pray for me."

"Speaking of which... I haven't seen Master Kongkong for a long time. I miss him very much."

As she said that, she handed a note to Li Niang with a smile, asking her to go back and give it to Master Kong Kong, and then bring the note into the palace.

"..."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a palace maid coming in from outside.

After the maid bowed to the Queen Mother and Li Niang, she said with a smile, "Reply to the Queen Mother and Aunt Li."

"Empress Dowager, Miss Zhao is here."

"Miss Zhao? What Miss Zhao?"

The Queen Mother was bewildered.
