Chương 963: Chapter 632: The Empress's Worries, A Bowl of Longevity Noodles is Enough to Satisfy

Suddenly mentioning the Crown Prince's birthday, the Empress's expression became somewhat unnatural. "Yuyu, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

Xiao Jinyu said, "Mother Empress, the Crown Prince brother has been back for so many years, and hasn't celebrated a birthday. Doesn't Mother Empress want to celebrate a birthday for Crown Prince brother?"

The Empress looked a bit uneasy. Indeed, she had not celebrated the Crown Prince's birthday over these years. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but rather...

Xiao Jinyu asked further, "Mother Empress, why did you initially send Crown Prince brother to Nanzhao Country as a political hostage?"

As a child, Xiao Jinyu had always been curious as to why the Crown Prince brother had to leave the palace. Neither his mother nor the Emperor would tell him.

The Empress explained, "The situation forced us. It was an unavoidable matter."

Xiao Jinyu pressed on, "Then why not send another Prince as the political hostage?"
