The Empress walked in holding the longevity noodles, moving slowly because she was so nervous.
For so many years, she had never made longevity noodles for her eldest son, and she didn't know if he would think it was already too late upon seeing her?
If the Crown Princess hadn't encouraged her, she might not have had the courage to come in.
Seeing Xiao Jinyan sitting in front of the desk in the study room, his earnest demeanor reminded her of the Emperor when he was younger.
Speaking of which, the eldest son did resemble the Emperor, in the eyebrows, eyes, and even in his way of handling matters.
However, the way he dealt with emotions was somewhat different.
In a moment, she arrived at the desk and placed the longevity noodles on it.
Xiao Jinyan caught sight of the longevity noodles and found them different from those of previous years.
He raised his head in confusion and was stunned to see the Empress.
