Empress Dowager Mo waved at Ah Jiu, inviting him to sit beside her, and instructed Nanny Shui to bring the tonic over.
"The ginseng chicken soup has been stewing for a while. You need to finish it all for me, look at your face, so thin, there's barely any meat." Empress Dowager Mo looked at him with a face full of concern.
Ah Jiu gave a faint smile, "Whenever I return to Royal Mother, there's always good food and drinks. I'm truly blessed."
Empress Dowager Mo feigned displeasure, snorted, and said, "Since you know this, why did you return so late? If it weren't for your Imperial Brother's sudden incident, you'd probably still be enjoying yourself without returning."
"Royal Mother..." Ah Jiu put on a flattering face and said, "You know I have my difficulties."
Empress Dowager Mo tapped his forehead, teasingly saying, "Your difficulty is that once you have a wife, you forget your mother."
