Xiao Shuangbao put the imperial seal and the imperial edict into the space of the ancient bronze coin.
When Emperor Wen saw her ability, a gentle smile immediately appeared in his eyes: "Do you know that I have met your mother?"
"You've seen mother!"
When little Shuangbao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he started asking like a chatterbox, "When did this happen? Was Shuangbao born at that time? And Uncle Wendi, have you ever seen Shuangbao before?"
As she spoke, she shook her head. Her round little head with the tassel hair accessory on her head made her look very cute.
Emperor Wen couldn't help but smile again.
A sharp itch tingled in his throat, and he forced himself to suppress the urge to cough. After a while, he finally spoke, "Back then, your mother was only seven or eight years old. I was also young, only in my teens. I hadn't ascended the throne yet. I was just a neglected prince, suffering from bullying in the harem."
He had just said a few words when he couldn't help coughing violently again.
Little Shuangbao quickly and sensibly patted his back to help him calm down and poured him some water.
When Emperor Wen felt better and stopped coughing, she looked worried and hesitated to speak.
He wanted to ask a miracle doctor to come and check on him, but when he remembered that Emperor Wen had already refused twice and was extremely determined, he was afraid that he would refuse again even if he asked, so he could not help but shut his mouth again.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Emperor Wen seemed to see what she was thinking, he chuckled and comforted her.
Then, with a slightly tender look on his face, he continued, "Although more than ten years have passed, I still remember that day when my brother, the Emperor, made trouble for me and made me kneel in the Imperial Garden to be punished.
"Your mother followed Tang Xuan, the leader of the Xuan Sect and the current Dongqi State Master, into the palace. When she saw me kneeling there, she took the initiative to help me up and said that I had the appearance of an emperor, that a purple dragon aura was entwined around me, and that I would definitely become emperor in the future.
"At that time, I thought she was just a little girl who was joking and deceiving me.
"Later, as I advanced step by step and actually ascended the throne, I never forgot your mother because I always remembered that she was the first person I met in my life who did not despise me.
"Even though she was just a child at the time, she understood everything, just like you, Shuangbao."
Emperor Wen spoke haltingly and it took him a long time to finish.
But Shuangbao listened very carefully and patiently, without any impatience at all.
"Shuangbao is not as powerful as mother. Shuangbao cannot see whether others have dragon energy or not."
At this moment, she scratched her head, a little ashamed and puzzled on her face, "Strange, whether it's the Xuanmen magic or the Tianshi unique skills, Shuangbao has already learned them all.
"Why has neither my mother in the dream nor my ancestor brother ever told Shuangbao that I can tell if a person has dragon energy?"
She said this with a puzzled look on her face.
On the side, Emperor Wen heard this and started coughing again.
However, when his coughing subsided again, he suddenly realized something.
"I see...I see."
Emperor Wen suddenly burst into tears as he spoke. "There's no such thing as a true purple dragon aura in humans, and I'm not destined to be an emperor. Your mother said that because she saw the longing in my heart at that time..."
"She felt sorry for me and wanted to encourage me.
"So, nothing is predetermined. Everything is up to us. Man can conquer nature."
When Xiao Shuangbao heard him say this, he immediately understood.
As she watched Emperor Wen cry out of emotion, she also felt a lot of insights in her heart.
Man can conquer nature.
She will definitely be able to resurrect her father and mother!
The two talked for a long time in the hall.
The other side.
Queen Chen took Zhongli Yu and walked a long way until they came to a deserted palace.
When they arrived and entered the palace, Empress Chen opened the window and stood there without saying a word.
Zhongli Yu looked at her and didn't intend to speak.
Empress Chen waited for a while, but he didn't take the initiative. Then she finally turned around and looked straight at her son whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"You are really different from before. It surprises me. It seems that you have grown up." Queen Chen said.
"In your heart, Queen Mother, I have never been a child." Zhong Liyu pondered for a moment and then said, "It has been many years since we last met. Is everything going well, Queen Mother?"
"I am fine, but where is the prince?" Empress Chen asked expressionlessly.
"I am a much better son than I initially thought." Zhongli Yu looked out the window calmly. He hadn't seen the palace of Southern Yan for a long time and it seemed particularly unfamiliar to him.
"Is it because I met Princess Lingfu?"
Seeing that he was extremely restrained and reserved in every word he spoke, refusing to say a single word, Empress Chen could not help but frown, "When I first heard the news, I knew that you were just a zither player in the palace of Dongqi State, and your status was not much higher than those servants in the palace.
"It was after you met Princess Lingfu that everything changed. Even the Emperor of Dongqi allowed you to study with his princes.
"How did you do that?"
After Queen Chen finished speaking, she looked at Zhongli Yu with a look of deep scrutiny.
Zhongli Yu could naturally sense his gaze.
Even though it has been a long time, he still feels very familiar with it.
Empress Chen was very good at deducing what people were thinking by observing the subtle changes in their facial expressions.
He had been judged like this since he was a child.
In the past, he would feel very tired. Being judged by his own biological mother like this, this kind of family affection really made him feel heavy and depressed.
But now, he can handle it with ease.
"I am just good at making good friends."
At this moment, Zhongli Yu's expression was as calm as a mirror, without even a ripple. His tone was also extremely calm, "Princess Lingfu is extremely intelligent and has a pure nature. It is a blessing for me that she is willing to help me."
"Really?" Empress Chen asked, but it was hard to tell whether she believed it or not.
"Of course." Zhong Liyu then glanced at her with a slightly condescending look.
It was at this time that Empress Chen finally realized that her son, who had been sent to the Eastern Qi Kingdom as a hostage when he was young, had grown so tall...
He was no longer the little boy who would coquettishly pull at her phoenix robe sleeves and look up at her with his little face to beg her to play with him for a while.
He has grown up.
Young and much taller than her.
It even seemed as if an ambition that had never existed before had sprouted in my heart.
"Mother, you called me here today, it shouldn't be to reminisce about the past, right? What exactly do you want to say to me?" Zhongli Yu glanced at Empress Chen who was staring at him in a daze, and asked in a calm tone.
