But the strange thing is that he can hardly feel any emotion at this moment.

My mind was blank and quiet, and everything around me seemed to be no longer real, as if I was in a dream.

As if his soul had been drained, he walked out of the hall step by step, slowly and heavily.

Zhang Meishou followed him.

Ah Li glanced at the figure of the young man standing under the jujube tree in the courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart.

The only fault of the eldest prince seems to be his background, but that is what he can't choose.

Cotton, who was guarding the gate, looked at the brother and sister who were standing under the jujube tree silently, and subconsciously glanced up at the jujube tree - well, it did bear a lot of dates.

It's just that you don't have to watch it for so long, right?

Even if you count them one by one, I'm afraid you'll finish counting.

And they've been standing for nearly two quarters of an hour, don't the eldest prince and the girl feel tired?

"Big brother, let's go in."

Seeing that his brother's expression calmed down a little, Zhang Meishou said softly.

Zhang Qiuchi withdrew his gaze from the green jujube leaves and looked at the girl beside him who had been silently accompanying him to calm down.

"It turns out that I am not my father's son, nor am I the brother of the second sister and Heling Trianling."

In addition to the calm after accepting the facts, the young man's tone was more regretful.

For him, this is really the most regrettable thing in the world.

"If the eldest brother is willing, he will naturally be our elder brother for the rest of his life." There was no hesitation in Zhang Meishou's tone.

A slight smile appeared in Zhang Qiuchi's eyes, but after a while, his eyes gradually turned red.

"With the words of the second sister, I have nothing to be afraid of."

Even if he was just standing here, there didn't seem to be any fluctuations, but only he knew what kind of earth-shaking vibration he had experienced in his heart.

Zhang Meishou did not say any more useless words of comfort.

only said eight words seriously-

"What happens in the future is all man-made."

Zhang Qiuchi nodded slowly, turned his face slightly, and wiped the wetness from the corners of his eyes with his slender and good-looking fingers.

He also wanted to ask about his ...... Who is the biological father?

But at this time, he felt that the second sister should not answer him.

The second sister told him these things today, which is actually an extremely difficult position...... He was by no means the only one who was greatly impacted by this truth, but the second sister still had to be careful to take care of his feelings and soothe his emotions.

That question, he wanted to ask his aunt in person.

"After the sacrifice of the Great Yongchang Temple is over tomorrow, I will take my eldest brother to meet her."

Now it's time for the two to meet.

This is what she decided before she left for Suzhou.

Zhang Qiuchi's voice was a little hoarse, and he said the word "good".

He immediately exhaled slightly and looked up at the bright night sky.

After a while, he retracted his gaze and said to Zhang Meishou: "It's not early, second sister, let's go back and rest." ”

Zhang Meishou nodded.

It's time for her to go back.

At first glance, she learned such a truth, but in fact, she could only give her eldest brother very little comfort, and everything else needed for her eldest brother to slowly get through it alone, and find a way to reconcile with this truth in the process of suffering.

No one can help him, and there is no way to avoid it.

So, it's better to tell him to be quiet.

"Big brother, let's go back to the room early, although it's summer, it's cold at night."

Zhang Qiuchi responded and watched her turn around.

"Second sister—"

Zhang Meishou walked more than ten steps away, and suddenly heard his brother's voice coming from behind.

She turned back.

"I haven't thanked my second sister yet."

Zhang Qiuchi was still standing under the jujube tree, the moonlight shining on his shoulders through the gaps in the leaves.

He wants to thank the second sister too much.

Even if he was told the truth today, he must not want to affect his future.

In many times and places he didn't know, this seemingly delicate girl had always thought about him like an elder, but never mentioned it.

However, he doesn't need to say these things in detail, he can feel them all.

The second sister must also understand what he wants to say at this time.

Zhang Meishou smiled at him.

"It's all a family, and the eldest brother doesn't have to be polite to me."

This is a common statement, and there is nothing new to say about it.

But it was what she wanted to say the most.

……

In the early morning of the next day, under the escort of the forbidden army and the brocade guards, Emperor Zhaofeng and the royal family and officials of the Ministry of Rites went to the Great Yongchang Temple to pray for blessings.

As early as two days ago, martial law had been imposed around the temple, and Kyoto guards were guarding and patrolling, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach and disturb them.

Today, there are no other pilgrims in and out of the Great Yongchang Temple.

In a huge temple, under the shroud of the morning light, it is particularly quiet and solemn.

It wasn't until the arrival of the holy car that this tranquility was broken a little.

In order to show the sincerity of worship, the chariot soft sedan car has fallen outside the temple, and the group is walking into the temple.

Zhang Meishou pretended to be Gong E, accompanied by the Queen Mother, and gently supported one of the Queen Mother's arms.

"Today's day is quite cool, and it is suitable to walk out of the palace, and the scenery in this temple is not bad......"

The Queen Mother was in a happy mood, looked around the scenery in the temple, and said with a smile.

Zhang Meishou didn't dare to say more, but smiled and responded "yes".

Emperor Zhaofeng, who was surrounded by the inner prison on the side, glanced at a few Bodhi trees beside him in bewilderment - this can also be called Jing'er?

The scenery from any corner of the imperial garden was not as pleasing to the eye as this, but he had never seen the queen mother go to visit.

In the final analysis, it's just that I have my granddaughter-in-law by my side, and I'm happy to see that the grass and leaves are all scenes.

Emperor Zhaofeng glanced at the smiling queen mother who was supported by the little fairy, and couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in his heart - why did he think of letting the little fairy pretend to be a palace maid to accompany the queen mother at first, isn't it good to pretend to be a little eunuch and follow him?

Ahem, but that seems like a bit too much.

Not to mention the unorthodox, the prince is afraid that he will also have opinions.

Speaking of the crown prince -

What about the Prince?

Emperor Zhaofeng glanced back, and saw that the crown prince had fallen behind at some point, and was listening to the six princes whispering.

Emperor Zhaofeng couldn't help frowning secretly.

Can this little six still have a little eyes, my brother and sister-in-law haven't seen him for a long time, what's the matter with him blindly pestering his brother?

Under the slander of Emperor Zhaofeng all the way, everyone came to the front hall.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Emperor Zhaofeng seemed to have changed into a different person, and his demeanor was particularly pious and solemn.

Emperor Zhaofeng put on the first stick of incense, and then the crown prince and the queen mother.

Immediately afterwards, the other three princes also stepped forward in turn.

After the incense, the scriptures are recited.

Today, Jixiao personally led the monks to chant the scriptures.

In the majestic Daxiong Treasure Hall, the sound of chanting and the sound of wooden fish tapping was endless, and Zhang Meishou served on the side of the Queen Mother without squinting, but he still noticed that a cold gaze fell on her several times.

When she felt a little uncomfortable about this, she suddenly felt that her vision in front of her was slightly dim.

Raising her eyes slightly, she saw a long and tall young man's back blocking in front of her.
