After drinking the soup, the Emperor's condition improved a bit, and he wanted to attend to state affairs.
Empress Wei looked worried and advised, "Your Majesty, please rest a while longer. Your health is paramount. State affairs are never-ending, but only by taking care of your health can you do more for the people."
Even an emperor is merely mortal, needing concern and understanding from others.
The Empress's behavior at this moment eased the Emperor's mind considerably.
He patted the back of her hand, his expression gentle, as if they had just married.
"Don't worry, I am fine."
He touched the Empress's hair bun, "You've been transcribing scriptures and praying for blessings for my mother lately. Thank you for your hard work."
This warmth now seemed like a joke to Empress Wei.
He's always like this to those he can use, first lowering his stance to interact, then using emotions as a weapon to control the other party.
