The Queen Mother smiled, a rare moment of relief, as she spoke with a hint of helplessness. "You, when you were stupid before, I didn't have to worry so much. But now that you've become smart, you're causing me trouble every day. Doctor Zhong is the most respected chief physician in the palace, with many disciples. If you 'cure' Doctor Zhong, be careful not to leave the palace. I won't be able to take care of you then."
"Empress Dowager, why are you so good to me?" An Tingyu finally couldn't help but ask the Empress Dowager. Although the Empress Dowager had given her some warnings just now, she was more doting on her. But for such an Empress Dowager, she couldn't figure out why no matter how hard she tried.
The Queen Mother's voice fell silent, her eyes dim, as if she was lost in thought, or perhaps she was sad about something. After a while, the Queen Mother said slowly, "Maybe it's just nature!"
nature?
An Tingyu secretly repeated what the Queen Mother said in her heart. The word nature reminded her of another word, mother. Spoiling is a mother's nature, but no matter how she thought about it, it was impossible because her mother had died long ago, and the woman in front of her was the Queen Mother who was high and mighty, and could not be her mother. So, apart from the mother's nature, what else could the nature that the Queen Mother was talking about refer to besides the nature between mother and daughter?
Another mystery fell into An Tingyu's mind, but the empress dowager had no intention of saying anything, so An Tingyu could only remain silent.
Chongyang Palace is a palace where flowers bloom in full bloom. It is noble and luxurious, elegant and majestic, yet also quiet and peaceful.
"Brother, the emperor hasn't been to my Chongyang Palace for three months. Do you think the emperor is tired of me?" Concubine Feng's voice was so resentful, so helpless, and so worried.
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. The Emperor only has you as his concubine. Maybe he is busy with government affairs. After some time, when he is done with his work, he will naturally come to see you." Feng Beijian said soothingly.
Hearing this, Concubine Feng finally smiled a little, "Brother has been away for more than half a year, and he seems to be even more handsome. He just came back today. Have you come back to see us? Are our parents doing well now?"
Feng Beijian shook his head, "It's not too late yet! So, after completing my mission, I stopped by to see the Empress."
"Is that so? Do you have a beloved girl? Brother is already grown up. Look, my little sister's son can walk and call mother, but you, as her brother, are still alone without a wife. Aren't you going to embarrass me?" The brother has not married yet, but the sister is already married, and the child calls him uncle. How disgraceful is this?
"have!"
"Which girl are you from? Do you need my help?" Concubine Feng asked quickly.
Feng Beijian smiled slightly, "Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss An."
"What?" Concubine Feng frowned. "Brother, is the Miss An from the Prime Minister's Mansion you are talking about the Miss An from the Prime Minister's Mansion of our dynasty?"
"Apart from our dynasty, is there any other prime minister's family in any foreign country that has a daughter named An?" Feng Beijian asked.
"Are you crazy?" Concubine Feng glared at him. "Back then, the Queen Mother pointed her out to you, but you refused. Now, you actually like her? And don't you know? An Tingyu's son is already a month old. I don't agree with such an ugly woman who is unmarried and has children."
"Little sister," Feng Beijian omitted the noble title and called her "little sister," "Yu'er is not an ugly woman. In fact, she is very beautiful. She can be said to be stunningly beautiful and unparalleled in the world. But perhaps for some reason, this is a secret. Brother also discovered it accidentally, so it's good for you to know this. Don't tell anyone, because brother doesn't want to have another strong rival."
"So, you are doing this for her beautiful face?" Concubine Feng whispered, her beautiful eyes dim, as if she was thinking about something.
"Not really," Feng Beijian shook his head. "Yu'er is a learned woman, completely different from her past self. Moreover, she is now a new self, and she doesn't remember anything about the past. So why should brother care about her past? Not to mention..."
Feng Beijian paused as he spoke, then suddenly added with a hint of self-mockery, "To be honest, I've had feelings for her since before I even knew her true appearance. But as you know, I've always liked beautiful things, so even if I did find out, my pride wouldn't allow me to admit it."
In fact, as early as when An Tianyu was no longer An Tianyu but was now An Tingyu, he was attracted by her intelligence, her talent, her knowledge, and various unique temperaments. That kind of beauty is different from superficial beauty. It is a natural beauty that emanates from the heart, not a carefully dressed beauty.
In the past, he thought a person's appearance was very important, so he chose An Rongxin. However, when An Tingyu returned, one beautiful and one ugly, under the strong contrast between the two, he found that a person's inner beauty could attract him more. So even though he didn't really like An Rongxin, he still ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion from time to time.
He remembered that time when An Rongxin kissed him in the garden, he wanted to move away, but An Tingyu was there too. He didn't know why, but he just wanted to see An Tingyu's reaction. But unfortunately, she was much calmer than him and was completely unmoved. He was a little hurt at the time, but he didn't show it.
Then came the little prince’s hundred-day banquet. When those young ladies from official families wanted to bully her, he couldn’t help but run out. However, due to his strong self-esteem, he didn’t admit it. Instead, he said some words that went against his heart, making An Tingyu think that he did it for those young ladies from official families, but that was not the case.
"Alas!" Concubine Feng sighed helplessly. "Brother has been like this since he was a child. Once he makes up his mind, even ten... no, a hundred oxen can't pull him back. I'm sure it's the same this time, but can't you reconsider? Think about my parents. They're already gray-haired. How much worry would they have if he married a woman like this who's constantly involved in trouble?"
