It took some time for Chu Yi to bring Xiao Ling back to the city.
Servants had been waiting in the palace for a long time. When they saw the emperor, they reminded him, "Your Majesty, the princess is already waiting in the hall."
Xiao Ling nodded and headed towards the lobby with Chu Yi.
But when she walked to the side door, although she couldn't see the person inside clearly, she couldn't help but stop.
For some reason, when the person he had been thinking about for so many years came to him, Xiao Ling no longer had the courage he had before.
There was worry and a bit of panic.
"Chu Yi, I... am a little nervous..."
"Don't think too much, just go in and take a look. I will go with you."
Chu Yi said something to comfort her, then took her hand and walked forward.
Although Xiao Ling was still a little worried, he felt much more at ease.
The two appeared in the guest hall together and finally met the so-called Princess Tianfu, who was the queen posthumously conferred by the late emperor.
When she heard the noise, Princess Tianfu happened to look over here.
At this moment, her curious gaze met with Xiao Ling's, and finally fell on each other's faces.
The mother and daughter were both stunned when they saw each other clearly.
The same is true for Chu Yi.
The princess in front of me, although she is already middle-aged and has some white hair on her temples, but... she is so beautiful.
With such beauty, one can tell at a glance the graceful charm of her youth.
What surprised Chu Yi even more was that the Princess Tianfu in front of him looked very much like the little empress in both appearance and demeanor, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Seeing such a face with the sorrow of time in front of him, somehow, although they were just strangers meeting for the first time, Xiao Ling's eyes were already wet.
The tears came quickly, and the pain surged in my heart.
At this moment, she had forgotten the possibility of impersonating her mother, and rushed towards Princess Tianfu regardless of everything.
Princess Tianfu also stood up subconsciously.
"Mother—"
Xiao Ling was so excited that she threw herself into Princess Tianfu's arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Mother..., is it really you... My daughter... My daughter misses you so much..."
Princess Tianfu originally had many more questions to ask, but after hearing the woman in her arms speak like this, she was speechless.
Those words were like questions, causing pain in his heart.
She just didn't understand. She should have taken everything lightly and recognized everything, but why did she still choke up when facing her daughter whom she hadn't seen for nearly twenty years?
"Ling'er..."
"It's my mother who's sorry for you... I'm incompetent..."
The mother and daughter seemed to have thousands of tender feelings and countless words to say, but in the end, their tears suddenly fell like a torrential rain.
All we know is that the two of them talked a lot in the end, and Chu Yi, who was about to ask something, couldn't bear to interrupt them and had to leave.
After venting his emotions for many years, Xiao Ling finally remembered the important matter.
"Mother, what exactly is the Xixia Emperor planning? Does he want you to meet his daughter? Then we can go back to Anguo together, okay?"
Faced with the answer she was eager to know, Princess Tianfu remained silent for a long time.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but look up and found that his mother's face seemed a little strange.
"Ling'er... Mother... Mother can't leave Daxia."
After hearing just one sentence, Xiao Ling's face froze and he asked hurriedly, "...Why?"
Princess Tianfu shook her head without explaining too much, "Mother cannot leave Daxia, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless you go to Xia Country with your mother and settle the affairs of Xia Country."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling's face changed completely, and he began to panic, obviously realizing that something was wrong.
She hurriedly broke free from Princess Tianfu's arms and stared blankly at the woman in front of her, her own mother.
At this moment, the tenderness and love on the queen mother's face disappeared, leaving only mechanical indifference.
This attitude made Xiao Ling suddenly nervous and he took a step back.
"Mother, you...you...are you really the mother?"
"Ling'er, come back to Daxia with mother," Princess Tianfu said to herself, "Mother is the princess of Daxia, and you should go back too. Women cannot be emperors. When the time comes, let Anguo merge with Daxia, and my cousin will take over the country!"
"No!" Xiao Ling was furious when she heard such a ridiculous idea, but the feeling she had when facing Princess Tianfu made her not think that the mother in front of her was a fake.
There was no other way, she could only place her hopes on Chu Yi, "Chu Yi! There's something wrong with my mother!"
After he spoke, Chu Yi quickly walked over from the side door.
He stared at the Queen Mother for a long time, a look of worry on his face. "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's demeanor doesn't seem right..."
"I am certain that this is my mother, but her attitude is so different from before. I don't know why."
Xiao Ling felt a little helpless, but as she finished speaking, a person suddenly appeared from beside the three of them like a ghost.
"Isn't it clear why, Your Majesty?"
Fu Xi walked over and then looked at Xiao Ling. "Although it's been a long time since we last met, Your Majesty and I must be old friends, right?"
