The Empress Dowager's expression turned peculiar when she heard this. "What did you dream of?"
"I dreamed of a dragon," the Supreme Emperor said solemnly. "This wasn't the first time I dreamed of a dragon."
The Empress Dowager looked shocked. "You dreamed of a dragon before?"
"When I was still fighting to establish the kingdom, I once dreamed of a golden dragon flying around me," the Supreme Emperor continued. "When you were pregnant with Xiao Shi, I dreamed of a golden dragon again, albeit a small one."
The Empress Dowager suddenly understood something and said, "No wonder I fell out of favor shortly after I became pregnant." At first, when she "fell out of favor," she thought the emperor was genuinely displeased with her, but she later realized it was to protect her and their son. "Were you thinking of Yao Yao then?"
