The Empress caught Zhang Jian's gaze and smiled slightly.
"Mother entered the palace today!"
Zhang Jian said calmly, "You don't need to mind Mother-in-law's words. As the Great Xia Emperor, only I can control the world, not the world controlling me!"
This was his confidence.
As the founding Great Xia Emperor, he didn't need to make too many concessions, allowing for greater maneuverability.
Looking at Zhang Jian, who was vibrant and exuding an increasingly rich Emperor's might, the Empress's eyes showed a hint of undisguised tenderness.
She said softly.
"I know you care for me, Your Majesty, but indeed, I have considered this matter."
"Even ordinary officials have three or four wives, yet you have been with me alone for over twenty years, never having other thoughts, leaving everything in the household to me!"
