The "Chen'er" mentioned by the Empress is the male protagonist, Nan Wanchen, who is also her younger brother from the same parents.
"Yes." Wan Ge's tone was somewhat indifferent, revealing no emotion, and she simply replied obediently.
Seeing that the Empress seemed to have nothing more to say to her, Wan Ge spoke again: "If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, then I will take my leave."
"Alright." The Empress opened her mouth, but in the end, she only uttered this one word. Originally, she wanted to remind her daughter, but she was worried that saying so would affect her son, so she ultimately chose to remain silent.
…
When Wan Ge returned to her palace, she subconsciously looked for the young boy, but the boy who should have been waiting for her was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is Young Master Feng?" Wan Ge asked the palace maid beside her, her tone more angry than usual.
The palace maid seemed to sense the Crown Prince's displeasure and immediately replied, "Your Highness, Young Master Feng has left."
I don't know what happened to him, he left without saying a word.
Wan Ge frowned slightly. She already knew where he lived in the palace, so she went to look for him at his usual residence.
…
Feng Su usually sat with some lowly eunuchs, who were generally insignificant in the palace and assigned to less desirable places. It was almost as bad as the Cold Palace.
When Wan Ge arrived, she saw Feng Su working. He was so young, but he was holding an axe and chopping wood in the yard.
With all this commotion, I don't know if his wounds will get worse.
Wan Ge immediately stepped forward and took the axe from his hand.
Feng Su was preoccupied with his own thoughts, so he didn't notice anyone arriving until she took the axe from her hand. Only then did Feng Su realize she was there.
Wan Ge tossed the axe aside and looked at the boy before her. He should have been a very handsome boy, but now his face was injured, covered in bruises and scars. Even so, one could still tell he was very good-looking: "Didn't you say you'd come with me? Why did you come back?"
Upon hearing her words, Feng Su immediately lowered his head. He knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was kind to him and genuinely wanted to keep him, but he did not want to cause trouble for the Crown Prince.
Feng Su didn't speak, but judging from his dejection, Wan Ge could sense that leaving him wasn't what he truly wanted, and there must be a reason.
Then she thought of her mother's visit: "Are you worried that my father and mother won't agree? Don't worry, I've already spoken with my mother, and she's agreed to let you stay by my side."
Feng Su was stunned for a moment: "What...did you say?"
Feng Su still couldn't believe it, because he clearly sensed that the Empress didn't want Wan Ge to take him back, which was why she sent someone to call him, but now Wan Ge said she agreed.
“I’m telling the truth. My mother has agreed to let you stay by my side, so don’t stay here. Come back with me.” Wan Ge reached out and patted the boy’s head.
The boy is younger than her, and she looks taller than him now. She can reach out and touch his head. She wonders what the difference will be when they grow up.
"Will you come back with me again?" Wan Ge asked with a smile, extending her hand to the boy.
This time, the boy did not hesitate and directly grasped his hand.
