Su Xinyi found it very strange that the Empress truly treated Yan Heng well; she could feel the sincerity and not a pretense, which surprised her.
Yet the Empress asked Xin Yi, "What are your plans for Heng'er's first birthday?"
Su Xinyi hadn't expected the Empress to summon her for this matter and answered, "His Highness and I have discussed it, and plan to have a simple celebration."
The Empress looked up at Xin Yi, laughed softly, and said, "That won't do."
"Hmm?" Su Xinyi glanced at the Empress, "Mother, why not?"
"You can be naive at times," the Empress said with a smile, "With the current complex situation in the court, it's only proper to celebrate Heng'er's birthday on a grand scale. Moreover, this is also His Majesty's wish. Do you understand?"
Su Xinyi was taken aback, and her expression grew solemn.
Seeing this, the Empress did not say much more, simply playing with Yan Heng, waiting for Su Xinyi to understand on her own.
