Huang Shu went to meet his mother in the morning after his sword practice. He saw that his mother, Imperial Concubine Ai was eating dried fruit while sitting under a tree in her Palace. 

He didn't have to visit his mother, but he needed to ask something, "Good morning, Mother."

Concubine Ai smiled at her son and asked, "It's quite rare for you to visit me without my instruction. Has the sun rose from the west?" Concubine Ai giggled.

"What do you want, my son?"

"I want to ask about something, Mother."

"Go on."

…

Huang Shu had a lot to ask, actually, but he wanted to just know one thing, "Mother… if someday, I bring a Ger instead of a woman to my household. Would that be dangerous?"

Concubine Ai stopped eating her dried fruit and stared at her son, "Don't you dare to bring a ger man to your household. Oh, my son, they are neither man nor woman! And don't you see what happened with your father, Emperor Jing, right now?"
