Chapter 130 Perfection

A calm voice suddenly appeared in the quiet Kunning Palace. Everyone was startled and looked at the woman in Taoist robes in front of the main hall.

The figure on the steps was thin, wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe. Her long black hair was tied into a simple bun with a wooden hairpin.

Her appearance has not been treated harshly by the years, and one can clearly see that she was extremely beautiful when she was young.

At this moment, her eyes were calm as she looked at the people who suddenly broke in with indifferent expressions on their faces, neither happy nor sad. There is a sense of alienation and coldness lingering around the body.

Unexpectedly, there was actually someone living here. Chunhua and Chaolu didn't know the secrets of the palace and didn't know the identity of this person. But those who can live in the palace must be people of noble status and therefore dare not act presumptuously.

"This is the Queen Mother. It's impolite of you to trespass here without permission." Chunhua stepped forward and explained Song Huaixi's identity.

After knowing the identity of the visitor, Wang Shuran's eyes flashed. He didn't say much to the three people, just said: "Come in."

A group of people walked into the house, and Song Huaixi looked around curiously. The entire palace was deserted and no one else was seen except them, unlike the bedroom where he lived which was filled with maids serving him.

Moreover, the furnishings in the palace are very plain and elegant, with almost no gold, silver or jade artifacts to be seen. There are more altars, incense burners and books.

The whole room is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, which makes people feel very peaceful.

"Are you the only one living here?" Song Huaixi asked as he followed her. "Is there no one to take care of you? Are you scared living in such a big house by yourself?"

Wang Shuran did not answer his slightly childish words, but took them to the side hall where she practiced Taoism. Pointing to the futon on the ground, he said, "Sit down."

"oh."

Song Huaixi sat down cross-legged obediently. It was very novel to touch the cushion under me.

Looking around, there are huge portraits of the Three Pure Ones hanging on the wall. It was very different from the Buddha he saw in the temple. But he did not recognize the person in the portrait.

Wang Shuran poured him a cup of tea and sat down on the mat opposite. The calm eyes looked at the person in front of him calmly.

The boy in front of me had a pair of big, round eyes full of inquiry. It was turning around curiously, with a well-behaved appearance and the innocence and kindness of a child. She was not wearing any attire that symbolized her status as a queen.

He was wearing a goose yellow round-necked robe with fine fur around his neck and a small jacket embroidered with exquisite flowers and birds.

If people didn't know his identity, anyone would think he was just the young master of that family. He looked at Song Huaixi carefully. Zhao Fangye must have treated him very well, which is why he was allowed to be so naive in the palace.

Song Huaixi had seen enough and turned around. Seeing her sizing him up, he took the initiative to ask, "Who are you? Why do you live here?"

"I'm just an idler." Wang Shuran didn't want to talk about the past and just said calmly: "Why did the queen come here?"

"I was just looking around and ended up here." Song Huaixi took a sip of tea and asked curiously, "Do you live alone? Are you lonely?"

Wang Shuran smiled in her heart. She would rather be alone with the green lamp than be filthy in this world.

"Miss." As they were talking, another person in Taoist robes walked in, holding some incense and candles in his hands. The three people in the room were visibly stunned.

Then he put away the incense and candles and walked to Wang Shuran's side.

Song Huaixi looked at the person who came in and felt vaguely that he had seen him somewhere. He stared at her for a while and then suddenly pointed at her and said, "I remember you! You are the nanny who handed me the bracelet."

As he spoke, the memories in Song Huaixi's mind gradually became clearer. Looking at the two of them, he seemed to understand something: "You are Zhao Fangye's mother, right?"

After coming out of Kunning Palace, Song Huaixi looked very happy. He ran back to the imperial study humming a song. Song Huaixi looked excited when he opened the door.

"Zhao Fangye! Zhao Fangye! Guess who I met?" Song Huaixi ran to Zhao Fangye, with his hands behind his back and a mysterious look on his face.

He put down the memorial in his hand and waved his hand to let the servant go out. Zhao Fangye put his arm around his waist: "Who did you see? If Huaixi doesn't tell me, how would I know?"

"I saw your mother!" Putting her arms around Zhao Fangye's neck, Song Huaixi looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, "Mother is so beautiful. She's like a fairy."

Zhao Fangye's hand holding his stiffened, and an unknown emotion flashed across his pale eyes: "Did she see you?"

"Yeah." Song Huaixi nodded and took out the Bodhi bracelet hidden in his hand: "Look! This is a gift from mother. Now you have one too."

"For me?"

Zhao Fangye's breathing stagnated and he reached out to pick up the Bodhi bracelet. The Bodhi seeds are round and smooth, and you can tell at first glance that they are something that you carry with you. The scent of incense and candles is always there, with bursts of sandalwood lingering around your nose.

His eyes fell on the string of Bodhi flowers, and Zhao Fangye couldn't tell what he felt. The things that had been pent up in my heart for many years seemed to be released at this moment.

Reaching out and hugging Song Huaixi, Zhao Fangye already had what he wanted. So let the past fade away.

Holding Song Huaixi's still somewhat cold hand, Zhao Fangye held him and asked, "What did she tell you?"

Song Huaixi thought about it and realized that he was usually the one talking. Wang Shuran didn't seem to say much and just listened quietly.

"Mother doesn't seem to like talking." Song Huaixi paused and continued, "I'm the one doing all the talking. Am I noisy?"

"How come?" Seeing him suddenly stop with some suspicion, she pinched his face funny: "Then what did you say?"

"I told you a lot about us. And a lot about you."

"So what did she say?"

"She said so!" Song Huaixi remembered it very clearly, and raised his head with some pride and said, "Mom said that you will be under my care from now on."

In fact, this is not the original statement, but it is almost the same. Although Wang Shuran didn't like Zhao Fangye, she still felt guilty towards this child deep down in her heart. Now that I see Song Huaixi, I feel relieved.

Zhao Fangye was amused by his expression and leaned forward to kiss him: "Need I say that? I have already been yours for a long time."

On the second day after Song Huaixi met Wang Shuran, the secret guard appeared in front of Zhao Fangye after court.

"What is it?"

"Master, the two people from Kunning Palace have left the palace this morning."

Zhao Fangye paused with his reddened hands, then said, "Escort you all the way. You don't need to tell me where you're going."

"yes."

The past is like the wind, and we still need to stay together today, looking at the bleakness outside the window. The new year will soon arrive, and they still have a long time to live.

Song Huaixi came in with some snacks, and Zhao Fangye waved at him: "Huaixi, come here."

She walked up naturally and nestled into Zhao Fangye's arms, with her eyes fixed on the table in front of her. I found that there were many words written on it with red paper.

"What is this for?"

"Pick one."

Song Huaixi didn't recognize any of the words above, and he didn't know what to choose.

Zhao Fangye picked up the queen's emblem and looked at Song Huaixi who was seriously learning the characters: "Huaixi, can we get married again?"

In the first month of the sixth year of the Qingli period, Zhao Fangye ascended the throne. The country's name was changed to Qi. At the same time, Song Huaixi was canonized as the Empress of the Central Palace.

Auspicious orioles announce good news, and auspicious cranes spread blessings. The moment when he held Song Huaixi's hand and received the worship of all the officials. When Zhao Fangye looked at the still somewhat childish Song Huaixi, he suddenly felt that his life was complete.

From now on, having you by my side day and night is enough.
