The Empress, high above, felt a warmth around her eyes, and two large teardrops fell onto the back of her hand. Cui Wei was the Eldest Princess, spoiled by both the Emperor and Empress. As a child, she was a tomboy, climbing trees to raid bird nests and wading into rivers to catch fish. Once, she accidentally fell into the water, and it was in such a way that she had held her, crying bitterly.
The Empress's complicated gaze turned towards Cui Wei, her heart filled with unbearable pain. The child who used to cling to her was now filled with an equal amount of hatred towards her. She truly was a failure as a mother!
The Emperor couldn't care about his dignity anymore, having already risen from his seat to come to Cui Ping's side. He wanted to hold the crying child in his arms, but hesitated, recalling how Xiao Linshuang had just pushed the Palace Concubine away.
"Can I hold her now, now?"
