After interacting with her a few times, the empress also had a good impression of Yu Xiaocao. The lass was smart, lively, and wise beyond her years. She not only was extremely talented but also had an amiable and friendly personality. This wasn’t something that every lady had. 

There was one other point that the empress liked about Xiaocao. It wasn’t exhausting interacting with her as the empress didn’t have to bring out the imposing mother of the empire demeanor with the lass or have to worry about whether her bearing was appropriate or not. Everything felt very natural around the lass, as if she could relax and be herself. Thus, the empress naturally agreed with what the emperor was saying. With this little lass’s personality, the dragon-shaped jade pendant was safer in her hands than anyone else’s. 

“Since the emperor is aware, then I won’t say anything more.” The empress paused for a moment before she continued, “That being said, Miss Yu is the savior of our imperial son. The value of the dragon-shaped jade pendant can’t even compare to our imperial son’s life. Emperor, we absolutely cannot allow the person scheming from behind to get away with this!!” 

The empress gritted her teeth as she said this, wishing that she could tear that person into pieces right now. She was childhood sweethearts with the emperor and had been married to him for a full three years before she had Wen’er as her only child.
