Even though Zhao Chen had long known his identity from Old Li Tou, he still didn't know how he felt when he was confirmed by Empress Changsun again.
Regarding his identity, Zhao Chen has always had an indifferent attitude.
But if he is really Lao Li Tou's son, then...
"Zhao Chen, your father is not in Chang'an, and the other imperial brothers are still young. The Tang Dynasty still needs you to put more thought into it."
"Mother, I am also tired today. I will go back to the palace first, and you will be in charge here."
"If you don't know, you can ask the officials." Empress Changsun patted Zhao Chen's hand, looking much more relaxed than before.
It seemed that after he revealed the secret buried in his heart, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Empress Changsun left very quickly, leaving Zhao Chen alone in a daze, facing a group of ministers with bright eyes.
"I'm not feeling well, let's leave first!" Zhao Chen left a few words, turned around and ran out of the Tai Chi Hall.
None of the officials responded.
When he came back to his senses, there was no trace of Zhao Chen.
"This..." Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng in shock.
"This is the first time he has shown such stage fright. It seems that he is not ready for this!" Wei Zheng said with a smile.
Zhao Chen ran away, and all the officials dispersed one after another.
Chang'an has just experienced such a big crisis, and there are too many things waiting for them to do.
…
"Xiao Wu, why are you in such a good mood today?"
On Chang'an Street, Li Ruoshuang was holding Xiao Ping An, with Wu Jue jumping up and down in front of her, looking very happy.
They have moved back to Zhao Mansion.
Going back with them was Su Wo Qinghe, the former princess of Japan.
"It's not like Sister Ruoshuang doesn't know how uncomfortable it is to be watched these days. It's hard to come out, so you have to relax." Wu Jue said with a smile.
At that time, the Zhao Mansion was under surveillance and could not leave the house at all.
Wu Jue was very active by nature, so naturally he felt quite depressed.
"Then you should also be careful. If Zhao Chen sees you like this, he will definitely talk to you again." Li Ruoshuang said with a smile.
At this moment, she felt relaxed.
Looking at her daughter in her arms, Li Ruoshuang felt extremely satisfied.
"Tsk, Sister Ruoshuang will use Zhao Chen to pressure me." Wu Jue curled her lips to express her dissatisfaction.
"Just now news came from the Imperial City, and the Empress has personally admitted that this gentleman is the son of Your Majesty and the Empress, the eldest son of the Tang royal family."
"Really or not, don't say this nonsense, it will cut off your tongue."
"How could it be false? I have a relative who is a eunuch and is on duty at Tai Chi Hall. He said it himself."
"I didn't expect that there have long been rumors that that lord is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Now it is true. It is really unbelievable."
"Since that gentleman appeared, our country, the Tang Dynasty, has undergone earth-shaking changes. If it is true, as you said, that he is the prince of our country, our lives will probably be even better in the future."
"No, I just heard that the Queen asked that gentleman to take charge of the government, but he turned around and ran away."
"Ran?"
"Ran?"
When Wu Jue heard this, he also asked in surprise.
The person who spoke turned around and glanced at Wu Jue. Seeing that she was a little girl, he didn't think there was anything wrong.
"That's what I said. I guess that gentleman couldn't accept this great news for a while, so he was a little embarrassed."
"But I guess it will take some time..."
"You fart, you're not rude. You're just messing around here. I'm going to report you to Jingzhao Mansion right now!" Wu Jue scolded the person who spoke.
She didn't believe what this man said that Zhao Chen would lose his composure in Tai Chi Hall.
"Crazy!" The person who spoke frowned and left with an unhappy expression.
"Huh!" Wu Jue snorted coldly and turned back to look at Li Ruoshuang.
"Sister Ruoshuang, did you hear just now that Zhao Chen is really the emperor's son?"
"Tell me, will he become a prince in the future?"
"If he is the prince, and sister Ruoshuang will be the princess in the future, then can I still stay with sister Ruoshuang?" Wu Juo said in a low voice, excited, but also vaguely expecting.
Wu Jue really wanted to be with Li Ruoshuang, or in other words, with Zhao Chen.
But Wu Jue didn't know that Zhao Chen was always wary of him.
It seemed as if I had ever done something sorry for him.
If you want to stay with Zhao Chen, you can't ask Zhao Chen.
After all, Zhao Chen wished he could be driven away as soon as possible.
"Of course you can, but you still have to agree with Zhao Chen." Li Ruoshuang said with a smile.
"ah?"
"That guy wishes I would never appear in front of him." Wu Jue was a little disinterested.
If you ask Zhao Chen, why don't you hit the head of the gun yourself?
"Okay, let's go back. Let's go see what's going on with Zhao Chen." Li Ruoshuang said with a smile.
She also knew that Zhao Chen would not let Wu Jue leave.
At first, Li Ruoshuang thought that Zhao Chen was interested in Wu Jue, so he was unwilling to let her leave.
But Zhao Chen denied it.
Li Ruoshuang knew Zhao Chen, and he would not lie to her about this kind of thing.
As for the real reason, Li Ruoshuang couldn't guess.
…
Zhao Mansion.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu both came.
Not long after, Li Ke also came to Zhao Mansion.
"Brother Emperor, drink tea!" Li Ke smiled charmingly and poured tea with Zhao Chen.
As far as Li Ke is concerned, Zhao Chen has changed from his husband to his royal brother, and the relationship is obviously a step closer.
From now on, I will not feel like a dwarf in front of Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu.
This must please Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen took the tea and didn't say anything. He drank a cup of tea sullenly and put the cup in front of Li Ke.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment and then filled Zhao Chen's cup again.
As a result, Zhao Chen drank another cup of tea.
Li Ke did not add more tea, but asked carefully: "Brother, what's wrong? Today is a happy day, aren't you happy?"
"Zhao Da, are you unable to accept the change of status for a while?"
"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this. You will have to face things sooner or later. Besides, we have us to help you." Cheng Chumo consoled him.
Cheng Chumo can also understand.
If it were him, he would suddenly become the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he might even become the Prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
This change in time does not bring excitement, but may bring a kind of pressure.
In the past, Zhao Chen was just an ordinary person who could act according to his own ideas to a large extent.
What can happen later?
With his identity, Zhao Chen will be restricted even more!
Qin Huaiyu sat aside but didn't say a word.
He couldn't think of what he should say to comfort Zhao Chen, so he could only drink tea in silence.
"Do you think I can choose to refuse this identity?" Zhao Chen suddenly spoke, making Qin Huaiyu almost choke to death.
Zhao Chen actually thought about rejecting something that many people only dream about?
If Li Chengqian and Li Tai were here and heard Zhao Chen's words, they would probably punch him in the head.
How can anyone give up their status as prince or prince and choose to be an ordinary person?
"Zhao Da, I have only one thing to say. If you can choose to ignore His Majesty and the Queen's face and make the entire royal family a joke to the world, you can choose to refuse."
"Of course, no matter what choice you make, we will stand by your side."
"We are here today not because of your status, but because we are brothers who have always been brothers!" Qin Huaiyu put down his cup, glanced at Cheng Chumo and Li Ke, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Chen.
