"Mother, please have some tea." Lu Mingshu offered the tea.
The Queen Mother smiled as she took it, sipped the tea, and signaled the servant girl to bring her a meeting gift.
Lu Mingshu looked and thought, well, others give a gift or a box as a meeting gift, but the Queen Mother gave a mustard seed pouch filled with something.
Still, she accepted it: "Thank you, Mother."
The Queen Mother looked at her, filled with joy: "I've waited many years to be called 'Mother'."
Shi Yu, standing beside, laughed: "Isn't that so? My sister-in-law has really made our mother wait."
Gone was his former youthful appearance. Over fifty and on the threshold of becoming a transformed being, the current Shi Yu held great authority and robust vitality as the King of Zhongzhou.
He married early and now his son is almost of marrying age.
After paying respects to the queen with tea, both of them went to see Liu Jizhen.
Xie Zhanghui and Yuan Rong came out to greet them.
