When the emperor heard these words, he felt very happy in his heart for a while.

I saw him very happily and said, "Thank you, aunt, but I want to ask you to promise something." ”

He Li'er said: "What's the matter? Go ahead! ”

The emperor said: "That's the case, I feel that I get along with Zi'er very happily and are also very close to each other, so I want to take her to the palace for a few days." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, He Li'er's face suddenly changed greatly, she thought that the emperor had stopped thinking about it, but she didn't expect that now she was going to say it to her face, couldn't she really stop it?

She felt very confused for a while, Zi'er is really good, but it is not suitable for the palace at all, will the emperor hurt Zi'er when he says this?

After thinking of this, He Li'er said directly and mercilessly: "Your Majesty, the minister said that Zi'er can't live in the palace, she is my sister, I know, her character has always been safe and leisurely, in that place where she eats people and doesn't spit out bones, she will die, she will be injured, and she will collapse!" ”

Hearing these words, the emperor's heart was a little hesitant for a while.

However, He Zi'er didn't know where to get the courage, and when she saw that the two people in front of her disagreed with each other's statements, she felt a little helpless.

So, she glanced directly at the two of them, and said: "Sister, you really don't need to say it, I chose to go to the palace voluntarily, not to mention some things, I still need to figure out, I always feel that Your Majesty and I should know each other, although I don't know why, but I believe that I will be able to find the truth." ”

Although this is very reasonable, He Li'er is a little uneasy after all, but she can't help it, Zi'er has already said this, what can she do?

Even though He Li'er was reluctant in her heart, she couldn't say anything after all.

What more to say?

Zi'er is not her property, but an independent individual, with her own thoughts and pursuits, she can't interfere at will after all, after all, everyone has their own way to go.

The emperor didn't expect her to say such a thing, and although he was a little surprised in his heart, he was more delighted.

He Li'er had no choice, so she could only say in a helpless tone: "Okay, sister, since you insist on this, my sister is not willing to stay, but she just went to the palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't cause trouble for Your Majesty." ”

After finishing speaking, He Zi'er followed the emperor into a soft sedan chair and went to the palace.

In the sedan chair, He Zi'er and Zhan Hongfeng looked at each other, their faces looked abnormally flushed, looking shy and cute.

I saw Zhan Hongfeng looking at her and said, "He Zi'er, in fact, I really don't want to let you go to the palace, but I didn't expect that you really wanted to follow me." ”

He Zi smiled and said: "It's not that I want to follow you, it's just that Hongfeng, I think everything that happens around me is too strange, and you, I always feel that you are really familiar, and my intuition has always been wrong, so I'm not here to follow you, I'm just to find out the truth, ask to understand the reason for the matter, and you don't have to make fun of it in the future." ”

Zhan Hongfeng nodded.

At first, he thought that the reason why He Zi'er wanted to follow him back to the palace was because he was concerned about him, but he didn't expect that it was just to find out the truth, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, but he felt that no matter what, it would be good for the two of them to get along for a while longer.

He Zi'er looked at him as if he was contemplative, so she smiled and said, "Hongfeng, why are you in a daze?" Are you thinking about something? ”

Zhan Hongfeng nodded and said, "Yes, I was wondering if you went to the palace, would you find anything?" Lately I've also thought all of this was weird, and there was a very peculiar feeling that we had ever been good friends. ”

He Zi'er shook her head, she had already forgotten everything, how could she remember her true mission to come here overnight?

She glanced at Zhan Hongfeng a little blankly, and said, "You said, we may have been very good friends before, why do you feel like this?" ”

Zhan Hongfeng smiled: "I don't know, but this is an intuition, but recently I always feel very strange, you are indeed a woman who appeared inexplicably, and the Queen Mother, she is obviously my grandmother, but she is called the Queen Mother, and my mother, I have never seen her, and I never seem to have such a person in my impression, but when I sleep every night, there will always be a gentle and bright woman in my dreams, she tells me that she is my mother, and my father is the first emperor, but I have no impression of these at all." ”

He Zi'er heard this, and figured it out in an instant.

Someone must have tampered with her background, or there must be a person in this world who looks exactly like her, or there must be a woman with the same experience as her, otherwise, there is really no way to explain it.

After thinking of this, He Zi'er suddenly looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, do you know if the Empress Dowager knows anything about these things?" I always feel that everything in this palace is weird, and every time I go to the palace of the Empress Dowager, I have a feeling of being devoured, as if there is some monster there, opening its bloody mouth and wanting to dismantle people and eat them. ”

Why didn't the emperor know this?

Although the Empress Dowager is his grandmother, he is just a disguise, after all, although he is Zhan Hongfeng, he is not the real emperor, real and illusory, dream and reality, he can still distinguish clearly, but now, illusion and reality are intertwined, making him a little exhausted, and even for a moment, he is a little overwhelmed.

The two of them talked to each other for a while, and the time was already early, and the Empress Dowager asked the people around her to invite him in person, saying that the family had not been together for a long time and missed him very much.

In this way, Zhan Hongfeng and a little eunuch beside him went to the palace of the Queen Mother.

However, as soon as he walked into Yu'an Palace, he found that the atmosphere was very unusual, and a woman appeared in front of him, who looked very old, but it coincided with the scene in his dream.

That woman, dressed in ordinary palace clothes, was just dressed very elegantly, which made people feel that she was just an ordinary woman from a rich and noble family, and she couldn't imagine that this would be the mother of the palace.

His eyes widened suddenly, and when he saw the woman looking at him kindly, for some reason, he felt a little frightened, and a little frightened, and wanted to flee immediately, almost not wanting to stay here for a moment.

It's just that the Queen Mother still stabilized him after all.

I saw that the woman suddenly said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "You are Hongfeng, it's so good, you have grown so big." ”

As she spoke, the woman was still smiling at him, but Zhan Hongfeng couldn't be happy anyway.

Sure enough, there must be some unknown secret hidden in this Yu'an Palace, and as He Zi'er said, it is like a huge monster that wants to devour people.

The Empress Dowager saw the awkward atmosphere between these two people, so she smiled and said: "Emperor, this is your mother-in-law, the first emperor's abolition, but you have been separated from your mother-in-law since you were a child, so it is normal not to know these things." ”

He looked at the Empress Dowager and then at his mother-in-law, but suddenly a feeling of fear surged in his heart.

"Grandma, grandmother, don't be joking, even if I really want to be reunited with my mother, but I haven't reached the point of being really confused, don't do this to me in the future."

As soon as he finished saying this, his tears flowed down uncontrollably, it turned out that the bond of family affection was so deep.

The Empress Dowager didn't expect him to say such a thing, and she felt shocked for a while.

However, after all, she is an old man who has experienced wind and frost, so she generally sees things in this world very thoroughly, the emperor was in tears just now, he is not a cold and ruthless person, otherwise, he would not have been thinking about his mother, but when his mother came back, he said cruel words on his lips, but in fact he was so happy and bitter in his heart.

"Child, don't be afraid, I am your mother, but for so many years, although I have always missed you, but after all, because of those palace rules and etiquette, so no matter how much I miss you in my heart, I can't come to see you after all, fortunately, now the Queen Mother is gracious, and my mother can see you grow up safely and healthily, which is the best and greatest luck."

Zhan Hongfeng heard this, and felt very moved for a while, perhaps, this is a fate between relatives given to him by God, even if it is a stranger in front of him, I am afraid he will be soft-hearted.

After thinking of this, he suddenly said in a trembling tone: "You, are you really, really my mother?" ”

The woman nodded, but the moment she touched him, she finally withdrew her hand.

How could she touch this child? How can you qualify? As a mother, she couldn't protect her children after all, so that Hongfeng's childhood was so hard.

However, she was really conflicted and sad in her heart, after all, she still missed her son's childhood and missed the best time to accompany her child.

Zhan Hongfeng didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but when she retracted her hand, he suddenly grabbed her hand.

He couldn't cry and said: "Mother, the child has only met you in dreams since he was a child, and when I was in a dream, I really wanted to grab your hand, but you disappeared so quickly, and even as soon as I turned around, you were gone, this time, no matter what, the child didn't want you to leave, our family should have gotten along well, not in the pain of separation." ”

At this moment, their family was reunited, and the Queen Mother felt very happy in her heart, she couldn't look down on this daughter-in-law back then, but the child and the mother must recognize each other after all, otherwise it would be too cruel.

She glanced at Zhan Hongfeng, and then said with a smile: "Emperor, grandmother is old after all, in the future, if you want to be filial to your mother, you will make her the queen mother, so that you will not be bullied." ”

The Emperor nodded.

Since then, the Empress Dowager has lived in Yu'an Palace, and the Empress Dowager has lived in Li'an Palace, and the two palaces have gotten along very harmoniously.

Zhan Hongfeng took He Zi'er that day and went to see the Queen Mother in person, he thought that his mother would definitely accept that he had such an open-minded and optimistic friend, so they quickly went to Li'an Palace with gifts.

As soon as she walked to the door, the Queen Mother suddenly felt a little unaccustomed, but as soon as she saw that it was her son, the original unhappiness in her heart was swept away, and it was replaced by a smile on her face, which looked so kind and kind that it made people want to feel close.

I saw the emperor look at her and said, "Mother, this is my son's good friend, her name is He Zi'er." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at it carefully, she observed this He girl, and felt that her face was handsome, ladylike, and she looked like a good girl who was clear and transparent.

So, she said: "Since it was His Majesty who said it, this palace looks at it, this He girl is really good, but I don't know how you made friends?" ”

As soon as these words fell, the emperor suddenly said in a somewhat smug tone: "Mother, this matter has to be talked about grandmother, in fact, Miss He is the general's sister, that is, my aunt, but she is younger than me, so we don't want to be judged by generation, but become good friends with each other." ”

Hearing these words, the Queen Mother's face suddenly changed, she looked at He Zi'er, and for a moment in her heart, she felt very scared.

When she left the palace back then, it was the Queen Mother who made it happen, do you still want to play that play now?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my mother felt a little unwell today, and she didn't have a good rest last night, so you should go back first!" ”

As soon as she finished saying this, He Zi'er said directly: "By the way, Queen Mother, I should have learned some medical skills in the past, I don't know if you can let me take a look?" ”

The Queen Mother didn't expect that she had already given the steps, but this He girl was stunned and didn't understand what she meant, and she was anxious and angry.

However, He Zi'er didn't care so much, but after checking it once, she said to her: "Your body is not in serious trouble, it's just that you are overly worried, relax in the future, and you will slowly get better." ”

Worried too much, is it not because of this emperor's son?

Although the Queen Mother does not want to see the Empress Dowager's relatives, the general is the Empress Dowager's niece, and now she is a good friend with her son and the Empress Dowager's niece, how can she rest assured?

However, it is impossible for her to shake the status of the Empress Dowager for the time being, so she can only say politely: "In that case, then Miss He and Your Majesty will come in and sit down!" ”

In this way, the three of them ate at the same table for the first time, and although the atmosphere between them was a little awkward, they got used to it and didn't feel anything bad.

It's just that He Zi'er and the emperor have doubts in their hearts, but they can't tell others about these things after all.

At the dinner table, the Queen Mother spoke: "Sister, my child is not sensible, you must not be careless." ”

He Zi'er felt a little embarrassed in her heart, but she still nodded and said: "It's okay, it's just that you are reunited with the emperor now, and the family is reunited and harmonious, and I am here, and there is always something not very good." ”

The Queen Mother smiled.

However, the emperor really couldn't stand it, so he said: "Mother, although Zi'er is the son's aunt, it's really embarrassing for you to call her her sister like this!" ”

The Queen Mother didn't think there was anything wrong, anyway, it was just a verbal salutation, and there would be no shortage of meat.
