"Yan Chengfeng, you should know that among the identical twins in the royal family, one will be abandoned. Your father can stand before the public, but I am the one who cannot be seen in public."
"But...shouldn't you keep it secret? Then you can take your father's place."
"He was afraid that I would take it from him, but he didn't know that I didn't care about it at all. If it weren't for your mother, I wouldn't have come back."
Yan Chengfeng was stunned. Was this the reason why he didn’t have a fake father in his previous life?
In the previous life, my mother died and my fake father never appeared.
"You said things you shouldn't have said the night you fell into the water. In the future, when I review memorials, you can watch from the side and offer your opinions. If you are really a hopeless case, I will find someone else to train."
"Huoyao."
"exist."
"Take him to the Imperial Mausoleum."
"yes."
Not long after Yan Chengfeng was taken away, Wei Anqing came in.
"Your Highness, I, Wei Anqing, greet you."
Yan Tinglan didn't look up, "Sit down."
"The Queen and I have read many travel notes before and heard that there are many high-yield grain varieties overseas. If we can find one or two, it will surely benefit the people."
"Your Majesty, do you want me to go and look for grain?"
"Well, you are quite skilled. I will send a few experts to accompany you to the sea. Can you do it?"
"It is my duty to share the worries of the emperor and the people. I will obey your orders, Wei Anqing."
"Well, go down. Someone will come to discuss the details with you. The treasure ship is already in Linhai County."
"yes!"
"Jin Yao, Mu Yao."
"master."
"You guys follow Wei Anqing and keep an eye on the road."
"yes."
After reviewing all the memorials, Yan Tinglan pinched his brows and stood up.
On the way back to Fengyi Palace, Yan Tinglan saw the Queen Mother.
"Mother."
"You just came from the Imperial Study?"
"Well, is the Queen Mother going to Yanhua Palace?"
"Lan'er, you don't even pretend to go and see them? After all, they are still young and need their father. Yesterday, Rong'er asked me why the emperor didn't come to see her."
"Mother, didn't I grow up just fine without a father?" He approached the Queen Mother and whispered, "Besides, there is no family affection in the royal family. I know you love your grandson, but this is the best outcome."
"I can't pretend. Yan Chengfeng is already an exception."
If he had any tenderness for younger generations, it was for his own children.
"Mother, I will go back to Fengyi Palace first."
The Queen Mother stared at his departing back in amazement.
Forget it, she already owed him a lot, how could she ask for anything more from him?
Maybe it was because he grew up alone and his temperament was very cold. It was good enough that he had affection for his mother and did not blame her for being unfair.
Yan Tinglan returned to Fengyi Palace and saw Zhu Fuli wearing an outer robe and leaning on the couch reading a book. He walked over and hugged her, "Ali, have you rested well?"
"Well, I'm hungry." She put the book down and rubbed his neck.
"Then let's have lunch." He said gently as he helped her get dressed.
"Okay, where's Chengfeng?"
"He went to the imperial mausoleum to visit his biological father. He will probably be brought back by the secret guards soon."
When lunch was placed on the table, Yan Chengfeng walked in dejectedly.
"Mother." After calling Zhu Fuli, he looked at Yan Tinglan and opened his mouth, "Father."
"Eat, and then take a nap." Yan Tinglan glanced at him.
Yan Chengfeng climbed onto the chair, "Aren't you going to comfort me?"
Yan Tinglan served Zhu Fuli a bowl of soup and said, "No."
Yan Chengfeng curled his lips and said, "You know how to comfort your mother, but you don't know how to comfort me."
Zhu Fuli patted his head, silently comforting him.
"Thank you, mother. I'm not sad anymore." Judging from the clingy attitude of my fake father, oh no, uncle towards my mother, he must have told her everything.
"You're easy to coax." Zhu Fuli was speechless.
"I told you I was very good."
Yan Tinglan served a bowl of soup to a person who was pretending to be a child, "Drink it."
"Thank you, Father."
At night, lying on the bed with her in his arms, Yan Tinglan kissed her cheek.
Zhu Fuli pinched his face and said, "Can I have someone come into the palace to play with me?"
