Yecheng, Imperial Palace, Ice Well Palace

"Is the prince asleep?"

Maybe only at night, Ke Zuhun can take off the heavy title of Queen Mother and become a loving mother.

Yuan Xiang was stunned, I was afraid that the prince didn't want to see the Queen Mother, so he didn't reply directly.

"You are loyal to the prince, and you dare not return to the mourning family." The Queen Mother snorted coldly, already a little angry.

"The last general will not dare." Yuan Xiang hurriedly knelt down and replied, but still did not say anything about Murong Chong's recent situation.

At this time, only to hear the sound of the door opening, the handsome young man who was more beautiful than the thousands of flowers walked out.

"The Queen Mother." He frowned slightly, not wanting to embarrass Yuan Xiang.

"Emperor Feng, the queen mother asked someone to cook lotus seed soup for you, knowing that you are afraid of heat at night, drink some."

Seeing that such a handsome young son was finally willing to open the door to see her, the anger on Zuhun Shi's face immediately dissipated, and she smiled kindly, and her tone became softer.

Whenever she sees Murong Chong's face, she can't help but soften her temperament, everyone always has a little more preference for beautiful people or things, not to mention that it is a silhouette that is somewhat similar to when she was young.

As she spoke, she walked to Murong Chong's room, for fear of hearing her son's rejection of her.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother said to leave, and the maid with the soup behind her slowed down a few steps and hurriedly followed.

Fortunately, Ke Zuhun is in a good mood now, and he didn't scold him.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Murong Chong accompanied his mother into the house, even though he couldn't help but feel a little estranged in his heart for his mother's mediocre politics for the sake of the fangtou war, but in the end, it was his mother, the mother who was deep in the palace and tried her best to protect him and his third brother as they grew up.

As soon as Zuhun entered the house, he looked around, she hadn't been here for two months, for fear that the next person would not take good care of her, so she hurried to see what the shortcomings of the house were.

Although Murong Chong is the younger brother of the current emperor and the son of the queen mother, after all, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, according to the rules of the Dayan royal family, all vassal kings have to leave the palace when they reach their age.

But the Zuhun clan was too partial to this son, so he broke all kinds of rules and let him stay in the palace and stay by her side.

If she wasn't the queen mother, she would have been a good mother.

During the days when the Yan army was defeated, the official documents on her desk were piled up, except for the previous dynasty, which was approved with the emperor, and she really couldn't spare time to see Emperor Feng.

Finally, Dayan's army won, and her son sulked because she was going to move the capital at that time, either because he was sick and didn't come to ask for peace, or because he went to bed early.

Only then did the mother and son have a long talk.

"Drink it while it's hot, it's not enough for the queen mother to order someone to serve it."

Ke Zuhun habitually sat down on the couch, and remembered the scene when he was a child watching his brothers eat.

Ye'er is gone, Wei'er has ascended the throne, and the Fenghuang is older, so I can't help it.

Murong Chong tasted a bite of lotus seed soup, and his heart warmed, it was still the taste of his childhood, and he had a little bit of his mother's warmth.

This must have been made by the queen mother's own hands.

"How is the queen mother?" He asked carefully, as usual.

When he thought of his mother, who had a lot of opportunities, and could find time to make soup for him, he was a little moved.

I still remember that when I was a child, my brother and sister's diet and medicinal diet were all carefully taken care of, for fear that they would be poisoned by other concubines.

It's just that when the queen mother becomes the queen mother, those concerns are unnecessary.

Because among the Great Yan, no one dares to go against the Queen Mother.

"Okay, everything is fine with the queen mother, my Fenghuang still cares about me so much, and the queen mother still thinks that you are still angry with me."

It's been a long time since I've heard her son's greetings, and when she thinks that her Fenghuang still cares about her, she is both happy and excited.

Sometimes she wants to seize power, sometimes she wants to grasp family affection, she knows that she can't be an ordinary mother, she knows it from the moment she marries the first emperor.

She has her faults, she has her difficulties, she has her love, this is a monologue of a mother at the top of power.

Murong Chong silently drank the lotus seed soup, the soup was warm, but his heart was a little cold.

My beloved mother, how can I tell you that you are still wrong again and again.

Brother Huang mediated several times, and finally persuaded you to let King Wu lead the troops to retreat from Huan Wen's army, and now our Yan army has won, all of which are the credit of King Wu's father and son and tens of thousands of soldiers!

The army returned to the dynasty yesterday, and the soldiers fought for several months, and they were dusty all the way, how could they not be rewarded for their merits?

King Wu's father and son worked hard and made great achievements, and in times of crisis, they stood up regardless of their previous suspicions, so loyal, can't they move you?

"The queen mother has the consideration of the queen mother, I know."

His eyes sank, and he held back the words in his heart, it was rare that tonight was a harmonious time for mother and son to spend together, and he didn't want to or was willing to break this only love.

In a few days, he will ask the imperial brother and queen mother to play and reward the meritorious generals.

But Zuhun couldn't help but reach out and touch his son's head, just like a few years ago.

"If you can think like this, the queen mother will be relieved."

"Emperor Feng, you should know, the queen mother is for the emperor and you, and for our family of the Zuhun clan."

But the family of the Zuhun clan?

Murong Chong was stunned, mother, we are the Great Yan Murong Clan!

"Mother, you should be for the country, not for the family."

He couldn't help it anymore, he was afraid that his mother would go further and further away.

Ke Zuhun was stunned, looking at the resolute look on the child's face, she didn't know whether to be relieved or worried.

Her Fenghuang has grown up, but he is up to the task, but his thoughts are contrary to her.

Fenghuang, if it weren't for the family glory that my mother worked so hard to maintain all the way, how could you and the emperor be stable now!

"Isn't the home of the queen mother the kingdom of the world?"

She said earnestly, as if she had taught them to read when she was a child, but there was already a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"If your third brother is not the emperor now, and you are not the prince, is this Yan Kingdom still the home of our mother and son? Is there still a place for our mother and son? The people of the world, is there still stability now? ”

"Queen Mother, the stability of the world is what tens of thousands of front-line soldiers have exchanged for their lives!" Murong Chong put down the lotus seed soup and said with a resolute face.

But Zuhun raised his eyebrows slightly, and the old ministers and officials just spoke for King Wu, why did even her own son go to King Wu's side!

"Do you want to say that Dayan's current stability is all due to King Wu's father and son?"

The support of the people in the world for King Wu is already so high, how can she not have palpitations!

"Do you know that back then, your father did not intend to pass on your imperial brother, he intended to be a virtuous and let Murong Ke, the king of Taiyuan, who also worked hard, be the emperor?"

"How can the queen mother not be afraid of King Wu's power? How can you not be afraid that the people of the world will come to another virtuous emperor! ”

"The queen mother knows, you now want to ask for a reward for the soldiers who won the battle, but Emperor Feng, do you know that the good ministers in your eyes now may become an obstacle to our mother and son!"

"Do you know that when your father asked about the establishment of the prince, Confucian scholars such as Li Ji once said in front of your father that your third brother likes to play and instrumental music, and is not as good as other princes, and he is not qualified to be the emperor."

"You say, how can I strengthen the power of King Wu's henchmen? How many powerful ministers of Da Yan can praise the ability of King Wu's father and son, and ignore His Majesty's might! ”

"If from the court to the people, people worship King Wu's father and son, who can predict where they will place His Majesty one day!"

"The Queen Mother is protecting Your Majesty, protecting you!"

My Fenghuang, do you know how difficult it is for a mother and a woman to protect several children, all the way!

"The Queen Mother."

He listened to his mother's words of feeling, read his mother's nurturing grace, and suddenly felt that it was so difficult.

It's not that he doesn't know his mother's difficulty, how strong a woman must be to support the world of their brothers, but in the face of the country's righteousness, right and wrong have always been so clear.

He was so afraid, so afraid, that one day, between the country and his mother, he would have to make a choice.

Looking at Murong Chong's solemn appearance of frowning and contemplation, but Zuhun was a little unbearable, was she too anxious today, did she say so much, did it give Fenghuang a headache?

She just hopes that her favorite son can understand her and stop fighting her like he did in court last time.

"Aren't you too tired? Son, rest early. Ke Zuhun got up and said in a soft voice.

The days are still long, and she can slowly reverse her son's thoughts, just like changing Wei'er's importance to King Wu.

"Congratulations to the queen mother." He got up to see him off, his tone still a little heavy, as if he was still stuck in the struggle just now.

I'm afraid that this struggle will continue for a long time.

"No need to send it, just rest."

But Zuhun waved his hand and asked her son to rest, she didn't want to see him have such a headache.

"Emperor Feng, one day, you will understand the queen mother."

The woman in the phoenix dress suddenly stopped and said silently in an inaudible voice, she didn't know if her son heard it, but she just hoped that time would allow him to see everything clearly.

You can say that she is a mediocre and incompetent queen mother, but please don't deprive her of the little love she has as a mother, although this love is slowly decreasing under the interference of power.
