Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Meet the Empress Dowager Who Was Closed
WHERE COULD EMPEROR Mu say dissatisfied? The middle-aged man only groaned and nodded small. He must be very satisfied. At the very least, the girl destined by the silver dragon bracelet was not weak. It's like her mother, the empress dowager. In this world, only his mother had always respected him.
Unfortunately since the retired emperor disappeared with his brother, he lamented about it all. Emperor Mu had deployed many people to search for both. But found no results. In contrast, the breeding of mutated animals is greater.
All countries have worked together to eradicate the mutated beasts entering the border region. And the war that has always been on the border is not categorized as a victory. The enemy died at the hands of the mutated beast wave attack. And it was neutral among the soldiers.
As defenders of the state, they have their own beliefs. Therefore the generals were sent to lead them and encourage the soldiers. Emperor Mu wanted to say more. But she's not a woman. For marriage, you should talk to the empress dowager.
After Li Chang Su came out of the study room, Mu Xianzhai had long been waiting for him, leaning against one of the pillars. The man asked her to meet the empress dowager. But he's not forcing. If Li Chang Su did not want to, he would not have taken her.
"Did the emperor treat you badly?" ask the man.
"No. He's quite fun."
"..." - ".His father must have been making small talk again, he thought.
"What's your grandmother like?" li Chang Su asked as he walked in the backyard in secret.
"He's a strange man. But also good. Su'er will definitely like it."
Mu Xianzhai went to another palace courtyard. The place is pretty quiet. A clean yard and a few servants were doing their chores, especially getting rid of the piles of snow. The empress' widow is on the other side of the page. Li Chang Su and Mu Xianzhai had to walk quite a distance again. It is really troublesome if you have a page this wide.
This courtyard of the palace seemed to be suitable to become a training ground. Because it's too broad. The ancients had a large yard. Especially the imperial palace.
Mu Xianzhai and Li Chang Su stopped at one of the sliding doors of a room. The two servants guarding the door were shocked when they saw the king. Not to mention bringing a girl.
"Tell Grandma about my arrival. Tell him there's something to discuss." Mu Xianzhai asked the two maids to deliver a message.
One of the servants immediately went and delivered a message. Inside the room, a middle-aged woman was sitting neatly on a padded pillow. Both of his hands held three steaming sticks of incense, then bowed towards the Buddha statue on the table. Some other praying items are placed apart.
The empress' widow frowned and nodded her head slightly as she closed her eyes. His hand that held the three two rods immediately did a worshiping posture.
"Let them in." He gave permission.
The waiter came back and asked them to come in.
Mu Xianzhai took Li Chang Su inside. He saw the empress dowager performing a prayer ceremony for the safety of the retired emperor as well as his father Mu Hongzhi. Hoping if the two men were fine and would soon return to Bingshui Country.
Li Chang Su frowned. A prayer ceremony like this, he had never done it. He did not feel that this god really existed. But that doesn't mean an atheist. After the prayer, the empress dowager asked the maid to prepare tea. The middle-aged woman looked at her precious granddaughter, then smiled happily.
"Zhai'er, come here ..." The empress' widow called.
Mu Xianzhai approached and saluted his grandmother. The middle-aged woman nodded in satisfaction. Then turned his gaze towards the cloaked girl who was now just silent without intending to salute or say hello. The empress Dowager did not consider this impoliteness, but smiled amiably.
He had lived in the palace since young, knowing the various scheming plans of the concubines in the past. But in the end, the retired emperor was loyal to him. And have no children from other concubines. All because of the silver dragon bracelet. Loyalty to a lifetime partner.
Both of his sons have grown up well. Unfortunately the silver dragon bracelet was not passed down to the two. The retired emperor wanted Mu Hongzhi's father to receive the silver dragon bracelet to obtain a soul mate, but it was rejected just like that. Mu Hongzhi's father loved women from foreign countries. Which is very unfortunate.
"Is this girl the fate of the silver dragon bracelet?" guess it.
The empress' widow may be old. Her hair was bleached, her skin was no longer as fresh and filled as it used to be. But its natural beauty still exists.
Mu Xianzhai turned his gaze to the girl and smiled warmly. "Su'er, come and greet grandma."
The girl walked over and knelt in front of the old woman, but did not say anything. She thought that this empress dowager was as cruel and evil as she had always seen in dramas. The cunning intrigue of the palace has always been played. But after seeing her today, it felt strange.
The empress' widow did not look cunning or less pleased with her. Like the emperor, the old woman smiled recklessly. It's like thinking that everyone is the same. What is it that he fears might be overreacting?
The empress widow saw the little beauty in front of her was nervous and very satisfied. Finally, his beloved grandson is able to have his own destiny.
"My granddaughter will be busy with her destiny. Grandma's just waiting to hold the great-granddaughter." The empress' widow chuckled in shame. He was eager to hold a great-grandson of his granddaughter on this one.
He probably has a great-grandson of his other grandchildren. The first prince's palace. The first prince had married and had the destiny of his own silver dragon bracelet. And now he is busy taking care of his work. In addition, there were twins in the first prince's house. He rarely spent time in the imperial court.
The attitude of the empress dowager was also good. He likes his two great-grandchildren, who are now three years old. This time, Mu Xianzhai was also not young anymore. Li Chang Su was also suitable to take on the wedding.
The empress widow who rarely smiled and laughed finally broke apart. She was happy today because she could see her grandson bringing the future wife of the destiny silver dragon bracelet.
"What's your name?" ask the empress dowager slowly. He was worried about scaring this girl.
"My name is Li Chang Su."
The empress' widow nodded small, then asked again. "Are you from this country?"
"Not."
"It doesn't matter." The empress' widow did not feel anything strange.
To be honest, he was also not from the Bingshui Country. That time, when he knew himself to be the destiny of the silver dragon bracelet, was quite surprised. The empress' widow was still a general's son from a distant country. She was picked up by the retired emperor as an elected woman. Without further ado, the retired emperor went to the general's house and asked for a kiss (lamaran).
Initially retired emperor was not so easy to get the empress dowager and had received a scepter from the general. But then handed over his daughter reluctantly. As the fate of the silver dragon bracelet, the empress dowager was quite shocked back then. She did not think that her life would be in the palace, as the capital of the country that the people respected.
"Wherever you're from, Ai Jia doesn't care. I wish I could love my granddaughter well. This kid has been lonely since he was a kid. You have a predestination set by the gods" said the empress dowager somewhat nostalgic.
...----------------...
NOTE: Ai Jia means Family of Love, or commonly called Family of Ai.

"His grandmother blesses." Mu Xianzhai thanked him. Then he glanced at Li Chang Su
The girl was surprised and only thought about other things earlier, then also said the same thing. "This girl is grateful to the empress dowager."
"OK, okay. Good boy. Call me Grandma."
"Yes, Grandma ..." Li Chang Su had no room to refute at this moment.
The empress Dowager nodded again and was satisfied, then gave her a jade bracelet as an introduction. Li Chang Su was not too polite to accept it and to say thank you back.
"So, when are you getting married?"
