And the numerous princes and princesses also paid their respects to Ying Zheng and Xia Dong'er.
Although Xia Dong'er was not their real mother, as the Empress, Ying Zheng's children had to address her as "Mother Empress" upon meeting her.
This is the status of the rightful wife.
"You all may rise." Xia Dong'er smiled gently and glanced over the numerous children of Ying Zheng before her.
There were more than twenty.
Among them, Zhao Feng only recognized Fusu and Hu Hai, the rest were unfamiliar to him.
The youngest ones seemed to be one or two years younger than Zhao Feng's eldest son, Zhao Qi.
With so many offspring, not to mention Zhao Feng being unfamiliar, it was likely that his father wasn't very familiar with them either.
The Imperial Family lacks familial affection, precisely because there are too many offspring.
"Fusu."
"I heard you'll be heading to the Northern Frontier soon?"
Xia Dong'er's concerned gaze fell on Fusu.
