On the second day, he woke up just after Mao Shi.

A few oil lamps that were not extinguished outside the bedroom cast swaying shadows on the paper windows.

Changsheng looked at them and imagined the tall palace of the palace.

…

"Changsheng'er, you're awake." Mrs. Dou sat up, rubbed her hands and started to get dressed.

"Mother is awake too."

"I can't sleep well. Should I dress myself? Do I need help?" Mrs. Dou put on her clothes and began to tuck in her black hair.

"I'll do it myself, mother, I want to wear that suit."

After saying that, Chang Sheng also sat up, put on his dark clothes quickly with both hands and feet, and finished washing with the help of the maid.

Here the mother has put the clothes for entering the palace on the couch.

The upper body is a navy blue short robe woven from Yun brocade, and the lower body is Su embroidered white satin trousers, paired with a pair of calfskin boots.

After finishing dressing up, the maid Cui'er looked at the young man in the bronze mirror and admired: "Fortunately, the third young master doesn't like to go out on weekdays. If he goes out dressed like this, I don't know how many official ladies he will charm."

"That's right, it's a charm that won't pay for your life!" Mr. Dou also joked from the side.

After hearing this, Changsheng pretended to be angry and reached out to scratch Cui'er's itchy flesh. The two of them chased each other in the room, laughing constantly.

The two of them had had enough trouble and rearranged their makeup. After Li Yuan finished cleaning up, the family walked out of the gate, got on the carriage, and headed towards the Tai Chi Palace under the starlight.

When they arrived at the Tai Chi Palace, the mother and Chang Sheng were led into the side door by the palace staff and all the way to the back hall.

As soon as she entered the main hall of the harem, Changsheng imitated her mother, knelt down straight and straight in front of her, kowtowed and sang: "(Concubine Dou) I live forever, I pray to the Queen to be a thousand years old, the Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

A gentle yet majestic voice said: "Get flat."

"Thank you, empress."

Dugu held the tea bowl and looked at Changsheng carefully, his lips parted slightly: "My nephew, is this the Saburo who grinds the wheat eight times? Raise your head and let me have a look."

Changsheng quickly stood up, raised his little face and looked at the person sitting on the seat.

I saw a dignified woman, wearing a red embroidered soft robe, leaning on the armrest.

As he spoke, the gilded steps above his head with hundreds of birds facing the phoenix were motionless, and his eyes under a pair of eyebrows were as dark as ink and as bright as stars, looking at him with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I saw my parents working hard and I just wanted to show my filial piety. I didn't intend to waste food. The unnecessary food ended up in my second brother's stomach. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Changsheng put it away.

Mind, confess your sins first.

There was no expression on Queen Dugu's face. She turned around and asked Mrs. Dou: "Didn't I hear that you gave birth to a daughter and that you were promised a son from Cui Shilang's family? Why..."

Mrs. Dou stood up in a hurry, "That's what happened. The reason, um, the reason..." As he spoke, he glanced around.

Dugu smiled and said, "Don't worry, these are my personal maids, they are very reliable."

"Yes, this is what happened..."

Mr. Dou recounted the whole story of the incident.

"Oh, that's it. Sit down, you are all members of the family, there is no need to be so formal." The Queen waved her hand.

After the two of them sat down, Dugu said: "I should have gone to visit you earlier, but since my sister passed away, I have been in a bad state. In addition, the situation in the DPRK has been unstable in recent years, and your family has been in such trouble.

The thing is, if I go, I will inevitably attract criticism. It will be too late by now."

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and considers everything carefully," Mrs. Dou said quickly.

"Fortunately, my nephew has done a good job in the past few years, and you have raised these children well at home."

"The Queen is so impressed. These children are so sensible, especially the youngest, who is smart and eager to learn. He became literate at the age of more than one year old, and now he can even memorize the Book of Songs." Mrs. Dou smiled when she talked about her children.

Almost squinted.

"Oh, really?" Dugu looked at Changsheng again, "It seems that not only does he inherit the appearance of your father, but he is also much better than him in talent and learning. It's rare, alas... If my grandson is half as obedient as you are,

Okay."

Before Dugu finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from outside the door, "Grandma Huang, are you talking about me?"

A boy rushed in in a hurry, ran to Dugu with sweat on his face, grabbed the tea cup on the table and drank a few sips.

"Look at it, you know that if you run around outside all day long, you are not a learner!" Dugu nodded hard on the kid's forehead.

"This is Zhao'er, right? He's so strong." Dou pointed at the boy and smiled.

"Yes, the prince's child is almost six years old this year. He has no strength and can't fit even half a page of a book in his head. When he wakes up every day, he only eats and plays. He has invited countless gentlemen, and he is angry with him.

Let’s go.” Queen Dugu had a headache when she mentioned this.

Chang Sheng secretly glanced at the boy in front of him and was startled.

Dark skin, thick arms, and thick hair.

Oh my god, this is the reincarnation of a black bear.

Being able to eat and play, this reminded her of her second brother Ruyi.

With such a temper, it is no wonder that Queen Dugu is worried.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the little black bear pointing at him and asking: "Grandma Huang, who is this?".

"Zhao'er, this is your cousin, named Changsheng." Dugu explained.

"Cousin? Changsheng? Then can he play with me?" Little Black Bear looked at Dugu expectantly. There were very few peers in the palace. Those who usually played with him were eunuchs and maids. Now he saw a man of similar age.

Yes, the little guy seems to have found a playmate and is very happy.

Dugu looked at Mr. Dou, and seeing the latter's willingness, he nodded, "Of course, but he enters the palace for the first time today, so you have to take good care of him..."

"Don't worry, Imperial Grandma. Let's go! I'll take you to see something fun!" Seeing Queen Dugu agree, the boy immediately picked up Changsheng and rushed out.

I'm going!!!

Changsheng felt like he was being dragged by a wild horse, and he stumbled, almost eating shit.

Changsheng, who was dragged away, turned back to look at his mother desperately, but he only saw encouragement and joy in Dou's eyes.

Is this selling one's son for glory? I saw it today.

Forget it, destroy it.

Changsheng, who gave up his struggle, was dragged through palace doors one after another, around rockeries, and finally stopped in front of a main hall.

Changsheng held his knees, out of breath, "Have a rest, it's really... I can't run anymore..."

"No need to run, we're here!" Yang Zhao pointed to the door in front of him.

Changsheng raised his head and looked at the plaque with the four characters "upright and bright" written on it.

I shouted in my heart: Damn it, are you serious?
