"He has always referred to your father as uncle since childhood, it would be inappropriate to change that now."
Fu Zhen then said, "My mother also feels unworthy of being called the elder sister of the Crown Prince, so why not—"
"Why not, let him regard your mother as his aunt." Before Fu Zhen could finish, the Empress interrupted with her decision, "Your maternal grandfather, Mr. Ning, once saved his life. He ought to acknowledge being two generations lower, equating him with your younger brother."
Fu Zhen was dumbfounded: Wouldn't this make her and Yang Yi equals?
