Zhao Heng took a few guards to the gate of Cining Palace.

The two eunuchs on duty outside the palace saw Zhao Heng kneeling down and kowtowing and shouting: See the emperor!

Zhao Heng waved his hand and said: Get up.

The two eunuchs hurriedly stood aside.

Zhao Heng asked: Is the Queen Mother here?

A eunuch hurriedly said: The queen mother is reading in the palace.

Immediately, another eunuch shouted to the palace: The emperor has arrived!

Zhao Heng walked towards the palace alone.

A woman who looks to be in her thirties, dressed in palace clothes, and is extremely beautiful, is sitting on the edge of the bed holding a book and reading, she is Feng Niang, who gave birth to a child in Tiangui Town, that is, the current queen mother, and the two palace maids are standing on her left and right.

Zhao Heng came to Feng Niang and knelt down on his knees and bowed: "The son sees the queen mother!"

The queen mother put down the book in her hand, stepped forward and pulled him up and said: The emperor hurry up.

Then he pulled him to the side of the bed, sat down next to him, and asked with a smile: Your Majesty, did you go out of the palace again this morning?

Hearing this, Zhao Heng smiled and said: The queen mother's news is really well-informed, yes, I am out of the palace this morning to meet a friend I just met.

Hearing this, the queen mother was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: What, the emperor has gone to meet friends, what kind of friends are worthy of the emperor to meet him in person.

Zhao Hengdao: This is a very strange and interesting bold person, he beat up the son of Uncle Luoyang Wangye.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was shocked and said: What, put your cousin in order, he is too bold and reckless, even the royal people dare to move?

Zhao Hengdao: This is a grievance, it was my cousin who provoked others first and framed others first.

Then he told Feng Niang in detail what happened.

The Queen Mother was dumbfounded when she heard this, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and said with a smile: Your cousin was tricked as a monkey by others, and now his face is embarrassed.

Zhao Heng smiled and said: Yes, that's why I said that this person is very strange and interesting and bold, he knows that his cousin is a very powerful prince, the royal family, he still rectified him, let him be embarrassed, this is a great courage.

In fact, Li Yinglong is not as bold as Zhao Heng said, great courage is so exaggerated, Li Yinglong was reborn from the next generation, and the thinking of future generations, he didn't take any prince and royal family seriously at all, in his consciousness, the prince, the royal family is also a symbol.

The Empress Dowager asked curiously: How did the emperor know this person?

Zhao Hengdao: Speaking of this, I have to add one more to him, righteousness.

So Zhao Heng told him about going to Taibai Restaurant for dinner and not being able to pay.

After listening, the queen mother said in a praising tone: This kid is really a little weird, he doesn't know you, but he paid you more than 20 taels of silver at once, and when he knew that your jade pendant was worth 7 or 8,000 taels of silver, he actually sent it back to you, both benevolent and not greedy, he is a very great person.

Zhao Hengdao: There is something more interesting, he came to Beijing to take the test this time, but according to him, he didn't want to be admitted at all, this time he just came to Ying Jing'er to go through the motions to prove that he had passed the test, and then walked away, taking the Beijing test, which is very sacred to the reader, as a child's play, and he didn't worry about fame and fortune, so Erchen also made a bet with him.

Hearing this, the queen mother asked curiously: What kind of bet did the emperor make with him?

Zhao Hengdao: He said that he must not pass the test, and I bet that he will definitely pass the test.

Hearing this, the queen mother smiled, and said with a smile: Of course, the emperor won this bet, and the emperor wants him to be admitted to the exam, isn't it a matter of words.

Zhao Heng smiled and said: I don't know what kind of expression he has when he is in high school, he probably really thinks that he is a ghost, and the ghost and god secretly helped him, haha, it must be very good-looking.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother thought for a while, and then said in her words: Your Majesty, things may not be so simple, right?

Hearing this, Zhao Heng asked with a smile: Why did the queen mother say this?

The Empress Dowager said: If I guessed correctly, the emperor's bet with this young man was not just a joke, but wanted to reuse this young man, right?

The Queen Mother's words made Zhao Heng stunned and said: The queen mother is really smart, the emperor's affairs can't be hidden from your old man. Yes, I have this plan, but I haven't fully thought about it yet.

After that, he paused, thought for a while, and then said: By the way, Queen Mother, there is a more interesting thing, you can't guess that this person's appearance is very similar to mine, but his complexion is darker than mine.

Hearing this, the queen mother's body shook violently, and then said in a very surprised tone: What, he looks very similar to the emperor?

As the words landed, she suddenly fell into deep thought, not knowing what she remembered, and her face suddenly showed pain and remorse.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked anxiously: Do you know where he is?

The Queen Mother's performance made Zhao Heng very strange, and when he was about to ask the Queen Mother what she was thinking, the Queen Mother asked him first, and the tone of the question seemed to be very concerned about this Li Yinglong, which made Zhao Heng even more puzzled.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Hengdao: He is from Suzhou, but according to him, he is not from Suzhou, but from Tianguishan, Hebei.

Hearing this, the queen mother's face turned white all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but say: He ------ he is from Tiangui Mountain, Hebei, how can he ------ so coincidental."

The queen mother said that she should have remembered that she gave birth to a child in a small forest outside Tiangui Town with the emperor on his northern tour, when he gave birth to two children, oh, no, it was a child and a meat ball, and then the emperor asked the midwife to take the meat ball away and bury it. She has been haunted by this matter, and always feels that the meat ball is not so simple, and after coming back, she always thinks that once the meat ball is wrapped in a child, there is a mythical story that said that the third prince of Nozha was a meat ball when he was born.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng asked suspiciously: Queen Mother, what makes you think it is so coincidental?

Hearing this, the Queen Mother secretly said that if the meat ball she gave birth to in Tiangui Town back then was her other child, it should be as big as Heng'er now, that is to say, if the child who looked very similar to him in Heng'er's mouth was really another meat ball child she gave birth to back then, it was of course a coincidence, and it couldn't be more coincidental.

But she couldn't say anything about it, so she covered it up and said: Back then, the queen mother went to Tiangui Mountain with your father and gave birth to the emperor there, so I said it was a coincidence.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng smiled and said: Don't say it, it's really a coincidence, it seems that this Li Gongzi is very close to me, Queen Mother, when I have the opportunity to bring this person to meet the Queen Mother, he talks very interestingly, and it will definitely make the Queen Mother happy.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but say excitedly: Okay, the Queen Mother must meet this very interesting young man.
