"Master Linghu had to look all over the imperial capital to find the right candidate, which was Feng Wu, and I took advantage of this goddaughter thing to give her that jade. But Grandma, what you then did β"
He accused the empress dowager with his eyes, which made the old lady feel very guilty.
Emperor Wu was a lot harder to convince. He rubbed his chin. "Why didn't Master Linghu bring it up when I visited him last time?"
The empress dowager threw a dirty look at Emperor Wu. "You wouldn't only be learning about this now if you cared about Baby Jun!"
Emperor Wu was speechless. How come he was the one getting blamed again?
The empress dowager caressed Jun Linyuan's cheek affectionately. "Sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I'll send the jade back to Feng Wu."
Jun Linyuan nodded. "Yes, and make sure she wears it."
The empress dowager said solemnly, "Of course! She has to! I don't care what her feelings are about it!"
