The Empress Dowager originally wanted to give her youngest son the best to make up for the years of neglect. No matter what the reason was, she still lost her youngest son!

She made her youngest son suffer so much in the common people, while she enjoyed everything in the palace!

To ease her guilt, she wanted to make up for everything she lacked!

However, the past can never be returned, and the companionship and such can no longer be provided. We are already so old, and what can be made up for in the end are still those material things!

We can't keep treating them like babies, can we?

In the royal family, it's common to offer money and jewelry as a reward. If that doesn't work, it's because you haven't given enough. If one piece isn't enough, then add a few more!

Every piece of royal property is the best, and every piece has special significance!

The Empress Dowager was no exception. She also got used to various rewards and gradually felt in her heart that there were things that couldn't be done without money!

Of course, deep down she knew that money wasn't everything. Otherwise, as an empress dowager with both status and wealth, why couldn't she find her youngest son all these years?

But in many things, they will do things according to their usual habits.

The youngest son was finally found, but after so many years, they were completely unfamiliar with each other, so there was no emotional connection to speak of, and naturally, they were not close.

To please her youngest son and get him to agree to come back, the Empress Dowager was practically determined to give him the very best of everything!

Of course, the throne was out of the question; that was not something an empress dowager could interfere with.

Unfortunately, her youngest son was always aloof and indifferent, always acting as if he lacked nothing, which was very distressing!

The youngest son had grown up so quickly and was of marriageable age. The Empress Dowager had an idea: she wanted to find a suitable noblewoman among the court officials and marry her off to her youngest son!

With the powerful support of his in-laws, his life in the court will be much better in the future!

However, the younger son refused outright upon hearing this, and from then on, he made various excuses to avoid seeing her.

Even the emperor noticed something amiss. After understanding the situation, he was also troubled, but he couldn't just ignore it!

The emperor had met his younger brother, who bore some resemblance to him, but he had to admit that his younger brother was more handsome, though his personality was too cold!

He seemed even more ruthless and cold-blooded than an emperor, keeping a distance from everyone, never showing a smile, and always wearing the same expression no matter what he said!

He guessed that this was due to growing up in the countryside and suffering a lot, so he felt sorry for him and understood that this habit probably couldn't be changed in a while!

Forcing his younger brother to change might backfire; he's the stubborn type!

They are still young and in their rebellious phase. They don't think much before they act. It's hard for them to accept the sudden discovery of their true parentage, and they might even harbor resentment!

well!

This is really difficult!

Don't rush it!

If you really push them to the limit and they do something irreversible, then there's no way to make amends!

Over the years, he and his mother have never stopped searching, but they just can't find it. They always find a clue, but then the search suddenly stops, which is very agonizing!

He also understands his mother very well. Although she seems to be living a carefree and comfortable life all these years, she is actually very sad!

The clothes his younger brother wore when he was a child are all pilling, sigh, because his mother touched them with her hands!

I miss it so much!

In the deep palace, when he was lonely, he would think of his younger brother and wonder what might have happened to him. He would feel sad and take out the little clothes and gently stroke them over and over again, as if he were touching his younger brother!

He had accidentally seen it several times, and his mother didn't try to hide it or smack her of it. She simply had someone put it away naturally, but she didn't explain it to him much.

As a father, how could he not understand that feeling? But he was powerless to help and felt guilty. How could an emperor not even be able to do something as simple as finding someone?

Unable to find my younger brother, I can only do my best to be filial to my mother and make her happier!

But now that they've found it, no one is happy, and a series of questions have arisen!

Ugh, my head hurts!

"Mother, what you think is best may not be what Qingyu wants. If he doesn't want it and you force it on him, he will definitely be unhappy! If I want fruit but someone forces pastries on me, I will also be unhappy! I'm thirsty and only want to eat fruit, not dry pastries! Mother, why don't you let Qingyu decide for himself? After all, we've been separated for so many years, and we're not very familiar with each other anymore. Qingyu's situation is different from ours. Only what he thinks is suitable is best. Am I right, Mother?"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager sighed deeply and remained silent for a long time.

She knew that all too well, but she just couldn't help wanting to do the best for him!

Perhaps so. He was used to life among ordinary people and didn't have much desire for material things. He didn't pursue a luxurious life; he preferred a simple and unpretentious lifestyle. He didn't ask for much; as long as things were to his liking and pleasing to the eye, that was enough!

Then she thought about it again and felt guilty. It was all her fault. If she hadn't lost it, things wouldn't have turned out this way!

Growing up by your side, they will naturally be closer to you and won't develop such a cold and aloof personality, saying nothing and being very stubborn!

The Emperor comforted her for a long time before the Empress Dowager felt better.

The Emperor took his leave, but before he even stepped outside, he heard his mother murmur, "If only the eldest daughter of the Su family were still here! That girl is so kind and gentle, she would be a perfect match for Qingyu!"

He sighed again after saying that.

The Emperor did not stop walking. He shook his head slightly, looking helpless and very tired.

His mother really does things on a whim!

Even if the eldest daughter of the Su family is still alive, she is still engaged. We can't just let people break off the engagement without cause; that would be too offensive!

How could the Prince Qing's mansion possibly agree to that!

He knew very well that if it weren't for the disappearance of the eldest daughter of the Su family and the illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anping's mansion causing trouble and using despicable means, the Prince of Qing's mansion would never have broken off the engagement.

I've heard that the Prince of Jingnan is still secretly searching for the whereabouts of the eldest daughter of the Su family, and he hasn't given up yet!

well!

There are still quite a few noble ladies in the capital. As long as you don't ask for too much and just turn a blind eye, you can have plenty to choose from!

However, his younger brother insisted on only having his first wife, so his mother's worries were in vain!

My brother's first wife came from a commoner background and was not quite qualified to be a princess. I heard she was also quite ugly and not presentable, but my brother liked her!

I guess my brother just doesn't like girls who are too pretty, so the eldest daughter of the Su family has no chance!

There's no other reason than that the eldest daughter of the Su family is just too beautiful. She's already so beautiful at such a young age, and she'll be even more stunning when she grows up!

Like his empress, she was so beautiful that he had to guard her at all times!

Everyone has their own aspirations; as long as you like it, that's fine!

Unwavering loyalty is not a bad thing!
