Zhou Hongsheng was thinking about naming his son, so he planned to go through the books carefully after returning to the palace to find a meaningful name.
He suddenly remembered that his little girl is now normal, but he doesn't know her name.
Curious, she asked, "Little girl, what's your name now? I almost forgot if you hadn't told me. I've been calling you 'little girl,' do you like it?"
Tang Baozhu shook her head. After all, it was the emperor who gave her the name, so she had to appease him a little.
"You gave me this name, and I've always remembered it. My name is Tang Baozhu now, but you can call me whatever you want."
Zhou Hongsheng looked at his little girl, who had always thought of him, and felt deeply moved.
She glanced at her son, who had been silent the whole time, then picked him up, holding him in one arm and her little girl's hand in the other, and walked into the living room.
When Chief Steward Li saw the emperor's expression, he stopped the other members of the Tang family who wanted to follow him in. They couldn't disturb the emperor now; they should wait until the emperor and empress had a chance to talk, and then let them go in next time.
"Lord Tang, His Majesty is about to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Empress. Please go in another time. Rest assured, Your Majesty, you have solved a problem that has plagued His Majesty for many years. He will certainly not forget you."
When Steward Li said this, Tang Hao's expression improved considerably, and he even smiled slightly. He knew that as long as his younger sister really entered the palace, the Tang family would definitely reap many benefits in the future.
It wasn't that Tang Hao didn't love his sister, but seeing her current condition, he no longer needed to worry about her.
Then the rest is about preparing for the benefit of the family.
"Chief Steward Li, then your humble servant and family will not disturb Your Majesty any longer and will return home first."
Seeing how cooperative he seemed, Steward Li nodded. "Take care, sir. We'll let you know if anything comes up."
Tang Baozhu followed the emperor into the living room and listened to him recount what had happened since they were separated for so many years, expressing his longing and grievances. She felt that she had broadened her horizons.
It seems that being an emperor is indeed not easy. If it weren't for him looking for me, he probably wouldn't have even considered becoming emperor. It's my own fault for running too fast. If I hadn't run so fast and the emperor had found me, the two of us would probably be living a carefree life now.
However, compared to the loss of freedom, Zhou Hongsheng was still better off as emperor. At least the people of the world needed him, and he was indeed a pretty good emperor.
Zhou Hongsheng held his son tightly, unwilling to let go, while holding Tang Baozhu's hand with his other hand. He never wanted to experience this feeling of having lost and then regained his son again.
"Girl, come back to the palace with me later. I don't want to be separated from you. Besides, our child needs to be educated by the best teachers so that he can shoulder heavy responsibilities in the future."
Zhou Hongsheng was worried that Baozhu wouldn't agree, so he spoke softly, and anyone who heard him instantly felt their heart soften.
Tang Baozhu raised an eyebrow, surprised that the emperor had made his decision so quickly, deciding to make his son the emperor in the future.
This was good news for her; living in the palace wasn't so hard for her to accept.
At the very least, the tutors in the palace are definitely much better than the teachers in private schools outside, so there's no need to worry about delaying my son's development.
Besides, after seeing the emperor's handsome face, she figured she wouldn't lose out anyway. After being abstaining from meat for so many years, it was time to have some fun.
“I have no objection to going to the palace with you, but what about these children in the courtyard? They are all orphans I picked up and raised with great difficulty. I can’t just abandon them.”
When Zhou Hongsheng first entered the courtyard, he saw the children inside. At first, he thought they were maids and servants bought from the matchmaker, but he didn't expect that they were actually picked up by the maid.
It seems his girl is as soft-hearted and kind as ever.
"Don't worry, if those children are willing, I can help them make arrangements. After all, we've raised them for so many years, and if they are well-educated, they will be a help to our son in the future."
The emperor had the same idea as Tang Baozhu; the reason they brought back so many children was for this very purpose.
In the future, my son won't have to work so hard; no matter what he does, there will be people around to help him.
"Your Majesty is so kind; it's kind of you to consider things so thoroughly."
She looked at him with adoration, her eyes filled with affection.
It's not that Tang Baozhu is saying this, but with those affectionate eyes of hers, she looks at even a dog with deep affection, let alone an emperor she has feelings for.
Sure enough, the emperor was captivated by her affectionate gaze, a wide smile spreading across his face. He couldn't wait to take the mother and daughter to the palace.
However, Tang Baozhu wouldn't just follow him into the palace without a proper title or status. Although she knew he would definitely treat her well, she still needed to establish a formal status for herself before making any further decisions.
"I just wonder what His Majesty's plans are for my son and me?"
If Tang Baozhu hadn't reminded him, Zhou Hongsheng would have completely forgotten.
"My dear girl, don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. In my heart, you are my wife. After we return to the palace, I will issue a decree to make you my empress."
Tang Baozhu knew that Zhou Hongsheng was not lying; if he were, she would have discovered it.
However, she still had to maintain her composure, so she pretended to be shy and said, "I don't know anything. Isn't the Empress's rank too high? You know me, I don't know anything. Will I cause you any trouble?"
These words immediately reminded Zhou Hongsheng of the girl's past. Things only got better after she met him; before that, her life was even more difficult.
She felt incredibly sorry for him. "Don't be afraid, little girl. I'll have the palace maids do everything. You just need to be the title. From now on, just stay by my side happily, and I'll be content."
For the emperor, the pearl was something he had lost and then regained; he only felt safe when it was under his watchful eye.
Tang Baozhu thought it was pretty good that she only had a nominal position and didn't have to do any work. Although she could do the work herself, it would be better if she didn't have to.
"Your Majesty is so kind."
"I still hope you can call me Uncle, just like before."
Tang Baozhu thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. Although the little girl was a bit silly, she was still quite well-behaved.
At that time, the hunter could just call her "uncle," since there was a significant age difference between them.
Then he kept calling him "Uncle".
Don't let the fact that the emperor looks quite young fool you; he's actually thirty-five or thirty-six, so calling him "uncle" wouldn't be a problem.
