He couldn't bear to see his son continue to be bullied. Looking at his son's face and his thin appearance, the emperor actually felt a bit of fatherly affection for him.
However, given that his mother's family had once plotted a rebellion, to prevent him from having similar thoughts, he forbade him from having any contact with the other concubines in the harem. He also forbade him from cultivating any power of his own.
This should be good enough for him; he has a warm and comfortable palace, and people to serve and care for him. Even if he accomplishes nothing in his life, so what? He has no worries about food and clothing, which is the greatest kindness I can show him as his father.
…
"Sister, it's nice to see you again." The boy's voice was also very pleasant and melodious.
Wan Ge lowered her head slightly, looked at the young boy standing in front of her, and reached out to touch him.
A week has passed since the last incident, and it is clear that Chu Yue Zhao's mental and physical condition is much better than before.
After Chu Yue moved to the palace where he now lives, imperial physicians treated his health every day.
He was so thin because he was malnourished and never had enough to eat. Now, with delicious food and the help of the imperial physician's medicinal diet, he has changed a lot even though it has only been seven days since we last met.
Moreover, the young man was now dressed in fine clothes, which gave him a more noble air compared to his tattered appearance. He even looked somewhat like a young nobleman.
"Well, I made some delicious food for the Empress Dowager to try, and I also made some for you." After saying that, she asked someone to hand a pastry to the young boy in front of her.
Chu Yue Zhao gripped the basket tightly in her hands, then looked at Wan Ge with a smile: "Thank you, sister."
The person in front of him had no idea that he had secretly taken the hibiscus cake back with him that day. The hibiscus cake was basically ruined and could no longer be seen as exquisite.
However, Chu Yue Zhao still enjoyed the pastries very much, and felt that they were the best he had eaten since his mother's death.
Wan Ge patted his head again.
At this moment, Wan Ge's aunt behind her also spoke up: "Miss Meng, the Empress Dowager is already waiting for you, so please don't stay too long."
"Okay." Wan Ge replied in a gentle and melodious voice, then said goodbye to Chu Yue Zhao and left.
Chu Yue Zhao waved to her obediently and sweetly said, "Goodbye, sister."
Wan Ge really wanted to pinch his little cheeks; he looked so cute.
However, she managed to hold back under the watchful eyes of everyone.
She obediently followed her aunt to the Empress Dowager's residence.
The Meng family's relationship with the Empress Dowager was actually that the original owner's grandmother and the Empress Dowager were sisters. However, the original owner's grandmother did not live long and passed away quite early.
Because the Empress Dowager's family had a history of favoring sons over daughters and neglecting their daughters, she and her sisters had a period of mutual dependence and had a particularly close relationship.
After her younger sister passed away from illness, she took on more responsibility for caring for the Meng family.
Especially after the original owner was born, she felt that the original owner looked like her grandmother, which was like her younger sister, so she favored the original owner a little more.
The original owner was particularly well-behaved and sensible, which pleased the Empress Dowager even more. So she specially issued an order that she could freely enter and leave the inner palace to visit her.
The original owner of this body was not a curious person, and usually did not wander around the harem except to visit the Empress Dowager.
