Eryue's temperament is even more stable than Jiang Yingying's.
He has calmed down by now, obediently sitting beside Jiang Yingying, seriously saying, "Aunt, don't be afraid. Eryue will protect you!"
"Aunt doesn't need your protection. Aunt is an adult; I will protect you!"
"Aunt is a woman, Eryue is a man. Mother says men should protect women!"
Jiang Yingying couldn't help but laugh. She reached out to touch Eryue's face and sighed, "The Empress is right, but aunt is the elder, Eryue is the younger. Aunt should protect Eryue, and though Eryue is a man, he's still a little man!"
"When Eryue grows older and aunt gets old, then you'll rely on Eryue for protection!"
Eryue felt that he had already grown up and that his aunt wouldn't grow old so easily.
But he knew not to try reasoning with a woman.
So, he responded with an "hm," indicating his agreement.
In truth, he had already made up his mind: he is a man, and he wants to protect aunt.
