"Zishu is back?" The Queen Mother stood up suddenly, with a rare expression of excitement on her face, "Where are they?"
The palace attendant replied: "We have already entered the inner city of the emperor and will soon enter the palace. I heard that the emperor personally took all the ministers to greet the distinguished guests. They are all waiting outside the palace gate now."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and breathed out softly: "God bless you."
Zishu is finally back.
After being away for two years, how has she planned? She should be sure, right? When she comes back this time, she will be able to kick that beast off the throne.
"Come here, change your clothes!" the Queen Mother ordered decisively, "Aijia will go and greet Zishu in person."
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
When the Empress Dowager came to the palace gate in the phoenix chariot, Yun Zishu and Sicang's chariots had also arrived. Emperor Zhaoming turned around and saw the Empress Dowager getting off the phoenix chariot, with a gloomy look on his face, and then walked up to help her
Hand: "Why is the Queen Mother here?"
The ministers knelt down and saluted: "See the Queen Mother."
"Pingsheng." The Queen Mother maintained her graceful and noble demeanor, and said to the emperor as a matter of course: "Zishu finally came back, and the Ai family wants to see her as soon as possible."
Emperor Zhaoming didn't say anything else. In front of so many people, he didn't want to make things look bad with her, so he could only help her out of the palace gate.
Feng Ci turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and respectfully performed the courtesy of a courtier: "Your Majesty, Feng Ci, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the queen mother is a thousand years old!"
The young cavalrymen behind them all turned over and followed to see the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Huangfu Lingfeng and Xi Feng just got off their horses and bowed slightly: "Xi Feng, my servant, is my emperor's attendant and has met Emperor Yong and the Queen Mother."
"Pingsheng." The Queen Mother looked anxiously, "Where is the princess?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the princess has a child with her, so she has been sitting in the carriage along the way." Feng Ci's words also explained the reason for the slow travel, "Please wait a moment, Queen Mother."
With that said, he turned around, walked over, and opened the leading carriage.
Yun Zishu was the first to step out of the carriage. Her appearance was still as beautiful as before. Her noble and calm demeanor was even better than two years ago. The corners of her mouth were slightly curved as if they had been measured with a ruler. She was clearly smiling.
But it can make people feel a kind of condescension - contempt from a strong country to a weak one.
I don’t know if this is an illusion caused by the lack of confidence of Dayong’s ministers.
"Father, the Queen Mother." Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows, "How are you?"
Seeing her expression, the Queen Mother also had a smile on her face. She restrained her excitement, stepped forward to hold her hand, and looked her up and down: "Zishu, it's great that you can come back, Tai
Well, the Ai family has really been looking forward to it for a long time..."
"The Queen Mother has been kept waiting for a long time." Yun Zishu hugged her gently and whispered in her ear, "I said I would not let the Queen Mother down, and I would not let the Feng family down."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said, "Okay, okay, okay."
Three words "good" in succession were enough to express her happiness and excitement.
"I heard that your emperor husband has also come back with you. Where is he?" The Queen Mother quickly looked at the carriage, "Is he still in the car?"
Yun Zishu let go of the Queen Mother, turned around, and opened the curtain with her own hands.
"Husband," she said softly, "bring Yao'er out, back to my grandfather's house, and let him take a good look at his grandfather."
Emperor Zhaoming stared closely at the carriage, wondering what the new emperor of Dongyou, the crown prince of Dongyou who asked to marry the princess two years ago and only wanted the princess, looked like.
Dayong officials also looked at the carriage for a moment.
Under the expectation of everyone, the man in the carriage slowly walked out with a child in his arms. When he stepped out of the carriage with a bow and stood up straight, the world seemed to become quiet for an instant.
The tall and thin figure, the awe-inspiring aura, the calm but threatening pressure between his eyebrows... are so familiar and scary.
Emperor Zhaoming's pupils suddenly shrank, and all the expressions condensed on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.
Other ministers were also surprised.
Not everyone knows the Commander of the Shadow Pavilion, but once he holds the position of Commander of the Shadow Pavilion, he no longer needs to hide his identity at all times, so there are actually not many ministers in the court who know him, and even more ministers who are afraid of him.
Seeing this all-too-familiar face with its cold and distant demeanor, everyone seemed to be stunned on the spot.
"Sicang?" Emperor Zhaoming's throat seemed to be strangled, making it difficult to speak. "Why are you here?"
Si Cang got out of the carriage with the child in his arms. Unlike before, when he always wore a black robe and walked alone, this time he was still wearing a black robe, but the material of the robe was different. When he was holding the child, he looked exactly the same as before.
different.
When their eyes fell on the child's face, they discovered that the child looked similar to him. The relationship between the two was almost self-evident.
"Father." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "Let me introduce to you. Sicang lived outside since he was a child. He was accidentally picked up and sent to Dayong Shadow Pavilion. His true identity is actually the former emperor of Dongyou.
The queen’s only son is also the current new emperor of Dongyou, and my husband.”
After saying that, he took the child in Sicang's arms and said, "This is our son, who just turned one year old on the first day of the first lunar month.
Emperor Zhaoming said nothing, only feeling that Yun Zishu's smile was too dazzling, like a monster with its teeth and claws, wantonly provoking the majesty of his emperor.
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He finally understood why Prince Dongyou didn't want any other princess when he proposed marriage, and chose Yun Zishu, because Prince Dongyou was Sicang and Yun Zishu was him.
The only person I like.
He also understood why Yun Zishu could confidently ask King Jing to escort her, and she was so confident that he had to agree, because she already knew Sicang's identity.
Emperor Zhaoming finally knew why King Jing was trapped in Dongyou, and finally understood the reason why the journey was so slow. It was because Sicang and Yun Zishu deliberately wanted to make him anxious. Why was Yun Chen not in good health on the road?
If you get cold, you will be assassinated.
Why do spies inquire about information again and again but never get the key information? It's because Sicang can block all the information that he doesn't want others to know.
Emperor Zhaoming's expression was dull. At this time, he could not even imagine what Sicang's arrival meant, and who Feng Ci, who led an escort of 10,000 soldiers and horses, was standing behind.
"What's wrong with the emperor?" The Queen Mother admired the change of expression on Emperor Zhaoming's face and asked calmly, "Are you surprised by Sicang's identity? The Ai family was actually quite surprised. They didn't expect that Sicang was actually living in Dongyou.
The emperor's heir."
Emperor Zhaoming came back to his senses and looked at Sicang and Yun Zishu expressionlessly. Then he looked at the expression on the Queen Mother's face that clearly knew everything. A chill slowly spread up from the soles of her feet.
