During the time my mother was away, my emperor's brother often came to my residence to visit me, sometimes bringing some foreign fruits, sometimes silk and silk that I had never seen before, and sometimes taking me around, of course, the most visited was the Imperial Garden, because it was the largest.

The scent of flowers, grass and some indescribable fragrance mixed with the smell of earth paved the surface, and in front of me, there was a rockery, and there was a stream flowing from nowhere. I was about to step forward to see where the stream came from, when suddenly a deep voice came from behind me.

"Yue'er?"

I was startled, and when I looked back, it was the emperor...... and the jadeless behind him. didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly knelt down: "Yue'er to meet the emperor." ”

"Hurry up." The emperor took my hand and instructed in an elder tone: "Yue'er, the queen mother wants to see you, you go and see you." “

Well? Empress dowager? I almost forgot about this person, she is the biological mother of Princess Oude, but she subconsciously resisted.

There is also a pool of lake water under the rockery, which is so clear that you can see the white clouds in the sky. I looked around, there didn't seem to be anyone else, and then whispered, "Brother Yan, can I not see it?" ”

The emperor looked at me with a smile in his eyes, "No." ”

I sighed, and I knew he wouldn't compromise so easily. Although on the surface he has always spoiled me, it is only within a certain range, beyond which you can only obey. Since she is the biological mother, no matter what, she will see sooner or later. I don't know what kind of person she is, and how could she let her own daughter go to the people?

However, I didn't know that the two men were thoughtful after I left.

"Princess, it's here."

The place is quiet as it is remote. A palace that is not too big or too small is not gorgeous, because it is not even half of the princess's palace. However, there were two guards guarding the door.

"Meet the princess!"

"Well, get up."

Walking further in, there was a burst of fragrant flowers, and then I saw flowers and plants all over the ground. The most important thing in the palace is flowers and plants, but I have not seen them yet—they do not grow in pots, but in solid earth. Suddenly I felt that my sleeve was being tugged on, it was Twilight. I saw that she winked her eyebrows and glanced forward, and I saw an old woman squatting on the ground and fiddling with flowers and plants, and her head full of silver threads was a little messy by the wind.

"Princess, she is the Queen Mother." The people around him whispered.

I was shocked, if it weren't for Twilight Huan reminding me, I wouldn't have imagined that she was the emperor's mother-in-law, the queen mother, too...... My birth mother!

The plainly dressed old woman looked up, her eyes showing a hint of surprise, and then she ran towards me as if she remembered something.

That face is actually not old, and even has some charm, but the white hair makes people look very dazzling.

She hugged me in her arms and choked up: "Yue'er? You are my Yue'er, I begged the emperor to let me see you a few days earlier, and you are finally here! ”

"I ......" I was suddenly speechless, and I couldn't speak with mixed feelings, how good would it be if my mother was still alive......

She hugged me for a long time, and only after calming down a little did she take my hand and walk into the house.

A very simple room, a dresser, a bed, a table, and nothing else.

"Sit down, don't dislike Eniang here." She smiled awkwardly, bringing out a layer of folds at the corners of her eyes, I have to say, she is much older than my mother.

"No, I don't dislike it, my house is not as good as this......" Before I finished speaking, the woman holding my hand burst into tears, and said while holding my hand: "Yue'er, my mother is sorry for you, my mother shouldn't, shouldn't ......" and couldn't cry.

I took her other hand and told her that I didn't blame her, and that it wasn't her fault that she was taken away by thieves, but that it was just strange, that she was just a little princess, and that she wouldn't compete for the throne, so what was the use of capturing her?

The Queen Mother sighed and said slowly: "When you were born, the maid mistakenly thought that the midwife was talking about the prince, so she reported it to the outside world. It's too late to know that the transmission is wrong, if the emperor knows, who would dare to be guilty of this crime of bullying the king? ”

"But someday you're going to say it, huh?" I frowned, not understanding how the maid could have misheard. Such an important matter, either the midwife said that the prince or the maid was instructed by someone, right?

"What happened to that maid?"

"Died by the emperor." The Empress Dowager sighed and continued: "Later, I knew that it was not a way to drag you like this, it happened that a thief kidnapped you that day, so this matter was over, knowing that the emperor died, I dared to say this, and I begged the emperor to help me find you......" She said and choked up again.

After a while, she finally calmed down, "Yue'er, can you let my mother see your back?" ”

Back? I suddenly realized, how could I forget such an important thing, since she is Princess Oude, there must be a lotus mark on her back.

I don't know when Twilight went out. I lifted my clothes, I have never seen what the lotus birthmark on my back looks like, and I can't see it, and now I just let the Queen Mother see if there is anything for me, and if the emperor makes a mistake, he will have to blame me.

"Queen Mother, what does that lotus birthmark look like?" I asked cautiously. If my mother was still here, I would have hoped that she would have said no, but now, my mother is gone, where would I go if it wasn't for me? Where should I be home?

The person behind me didn't speak, but I felt a hand on my back with an abrupt coolness.

"That's right, that's it, I saw it when you were born, but I didn't expect you to grow up, and this lotus seal will also get bigger." She let out a long sigh and slowly helped me put on my clothes, but she suddenly knelt down!

I was so frightened that I hurried to help, "Queen Mother, hurry up, what are you doing?" ”

"Mother, I'm sorry for you, I'm ...... Don't you still want to call me Eniang? ”

It's not my hand withdrawn, it's not that I don't. It's impossible to say that you don't complain, but you know that it's not anyone's fault, but your heart is just panicked. Moreover, there are too many strange virtues behind this matter, and I, am I really Princess Oude?

“…… E-niang. I sighed, and finally shouted, whether it was true or not, it was true at the moment.

"Good, good, good!" She said three words in a row, and the stone of virtue hanging in my heart also fell. It seems that I can stay in the palace for the time being.

Before leaving, she specially explained to me that she would come to see her often in the future, because the emperor didn't like her to go out and run around, and she didn't like to go out to cause trouble. For this, I just think that this mother and son are strangely tight.

"Twilight, what kind of person is the Queen Mother?" On the way back, I couldn't help but ask Twilight.

"Princess, in fact, the slave maid has just entered the palace not long ago." She lowered her head embarrassedly, "For the queen mother, the slave only knows a little bit, I heard that she used to have a good relationship with the emperor, but then I don't know why it's not good." ”

I seemed to hear something unbelievable, and looked at Twilight in shock, "You mean, the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is not good?" ”

"That's right, otherwise how would you put your mother under house arrest in Jingyuan." As soon as Twilight Huan finished speaking, she seemed to realize something, looked around cautiously, and then deliberately lowered her voice and said, "If the emperor hears this, he will definitely be killed." ”

I looked at her frightened look, and I only felt that it was a mess in my mind, or the kind of porridge that was overcooked.

In the evening, the emperor came. In the Defeng Palace, the lights are bright.

It is said that Defeng Palace was built when the queen mother was still the queen, in order to wait for Princess Oude to live.

I looked carefully at the man in front of me, with an angular jaw, a soft expression, and gestures, he was obviously elegant, but he was also the king of a country under house arrest.

"If you look at the food again, it's going to be cold, and if it's cold, you're not allowed to eat it." A faint word came from the side.

I retracted and began to eat in large gulps, I didn't want to go hungry all night. Xiao Er once said that the more people who can't figure it out, it's better not to think about it. It's better to inquire less about the affairs of the palace, no, if you want to inquire, you can't ask this lord.

Alas, I have a bad memory, but I only remember Xiao Er's words so clearly, I don't know where he is now? Did you go to Flowerless to find me?

The person next to me laughed out loud, and I chose to ignore it automatically, knowing that he was scaring me, but I was still scared. The top of his head was rubbed a few times by a pair of palms, "Yue'er will go to sleep after eating, you have to get up early tomorrow, I found you a teacher." ”

Teacher? My face was full of doubt, and I didn't have time to swallow the food in my mouth.

The emperor's eyes deepened, "The princess is not easy to be." ”

I looked away, there was nothing special about those eyes, but after a long time, they were different, as deep as the endless night.

"Then I won't be a princess, I'd better go back to my hometown." Although I don't know what the scene of Flowerless Town is now, this palace really doesn't want to be it.

"Silly Yue'er, do you know how many people want to be this princess?" He sighed, and then raised his eyebrows slyly, "Don't worry, it's not to teach you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it's just some basic etiquette, and the princess ceremony will be held on the third day of the next month, you have to prepare well." ”

A princess ceremony? Does it need to be so grand? It's just a long-lost princess.

"Is there a ceremony where I can only be a princess?"

He was stunned for a moment, "Yue'er is still quite smart, but it's not that you're a princess, but that you are." ”

"It's okay, everything has a brother." I was held in someone's arms again, but there wasn't much warmth.

I nodded vigorously.

Mother, since I can't leave, then I will stay and find out the truth of the matter, and then I will flee back to Wuhua Town.
