Seeing him like this, Emperor Yuanfeng couldn't help but want to laugh. He looked at the portrait of Queen Hu affectionately and said softly, "Ah Heng, kowtow to your grandmother. She has been looking forward to your birth for too long. If she knew in the underworld that you have grown so well now, she would definitely be happy."
The portrait shows Queen Hu with a warm expression and a slight smile, just as she was when she was alive.
Xiao Heng did not say much about this matter. He kowtowed three times respectfully to the portrait, then turned around and looked at Emperor Yuanfeng and said, "I have not yet paid homage to my father and mother."
"Don't worry, the Ministry of Rites will make the arrangements." Emperor Yuanfeng looked at him deeply and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you be criticized."
Coming out of Kunning Palace, Emperor Yuanfeng was in a very good mood.
When Eunuch Xia saw him smile after a long time, he immediately chanted a Buddhist prayer in his heart, and then hurriedly followed Emperor Yuanfeng's steps.
Emperor Yuanfeng went to the Cining Palace. Empress Dowager Tian specifically asked about Xiao Heng: "What is his current behavior? Is he still stubborn?"
"He's an honest child. He's been like this since he was a child. Whatever he's thinking is reflected on his face." Emperor Yuanfeng spoke of Xiao Heng in a friendly and natural manner.
Perhaps it was really a relationship between generations apart. Empress Dowager Tian could only sigh in her heart when she thought about how Emperor Yuanfeng had indulged and doted on Xiao Heng over the years without knowing his background.
She changed the subject: "How are you going to deal with the emperor? And the fourth brother..."
Speaking of this, Emperor Yuanfeng's expression naturally turned cold, and he lightly revealed it: "The fourth brother is too courageous. Since the incident with the black bear on New Year's Eve last year, he has been jumping up and down everywhere. If he really has the ability and is worthy of his ambition, I would have accepted being deceived all my life, but he is too eager for quick success and unscrupulous. I am extremely disappointed in him. If it weren't for..." Empress Dowager Tian understood that if the emperor had not lost three sons, Prince Zhuang would have died as well.
She nodded: "That's all."
Emperor Yuanfeng told her about serious matters: "There is something I need to trouble you with. When the time comes, while you are still young and the imperial edicts are here, please bring Ah Heng to meet them."
It can also be regarded as a formal recognition by the royal family.
"It's what he deserves." Empress Dowager Tian said without hesitation: "If this child can be well, it will be better than anything else."
On that day, Xiao Heng went to Prince Zhuang's Mansion accompanied by Eunuch Xia and Prince Fenyang.
Emperor Yuanfeng specifically told Prince Fenyang to be more careful. Prince Fenyang was in a heavy mood. Looking at Xiao Heng who was striding ahead, his eyes dimmed and he sat down on the stone bench outside after a while.
In a short period of time, Prince Zhuang's mansion had changed drastically. A high wall was built outside, and the inside was in chaos - originally, those witchcraft items were dug out, but later there was no need to rest and go back.
His gaze fell on the tree pit under the tree, becoming deep and cold.
When he got home, Chun'an had already come to greet him. He looked at him with unwilling lips and called him father: "Father, is he really the eldest grandson of the emperor?"
Prince Fenyang pressed his temple and walked past him. He drank a sip of tea before asking her coldly, "Who told you this?"
After the last incident, Prince Fenyang has refused to let Chun'an go out. Even when her friends came to visit her, Prince Fenyang refused, saying that she needed to rest.
Chun'an snorted softly with a twinkling look in his eyes. Seeing that Prince Fenyang had a stern expression and showed no intention of backing down, he lowered his voice and said, "Father, is it true?"
Shao Wenxun was working for King Zhuang. That was fine before the incident, but after it happened, Chun'an was no fool. Of course he knew that his father would definitely stand on King Zhuang's side.
Now that Prince Zhuang is in trouble, Song Heng's thing has suddenly turned over. How can she not be worried
It seems that nothing has been going smoothly recently. First, her title was stripped away because of that bitch Su Yao, and now Song Heng has become the eldest grandson of the emperor.
Song Heng had always been caring for the Su family and the He family.
This time the feud is even deeper, and I don’t know how Song Heng will deal with my family in the future.
Prince Fenyang glanced at her coldly and said, "You'd better not be so smart as to do something irreparable. Before, she was just a granddaughter of Madam He, and that was enough to strip you of your title. Now she is the eldest grandson of the emperor! If you try to touch her, you'll see."
Although Prince Fenyang was also very angry last time, this was the first time that he spoke to her in such a cold and chilly tone. Chun'an was stunned for a moment, and then a feeling of anger and irritability arose from her heart.
But perhaps because she had encountered too many bad things, she finally learned to control her emotions. After holding back, she spoke: "Then you are not worried at all?"
How can I not worry? If I weren't worried, I wouldn't be so upset.
Prince Fenyang nodded at the table, signaling his daughter to be quiet, and then said: "Why are you so anxious? There are many people who are more anxious than us."
It's not the end yet. Song Heng's turn of events has affected the future of so many people and involved the interests of so many people. It's not that simple.
He looked at Chun'an with eyes like lightning: "Chun'an, I warn you, don't do anything that I can't save you from. You'd better take advantage of the Queen Mother's death and behave well, so that when your title is returned, you can come back with some dignity, do you understand?"
Chun'an responded with a "yes" and was about to say something when he heard Prince Fenyang say again: "However, the Su family should indeed learn some lessons."
He didn't believe that the Su and He families were completely unaware of this matter. In fact, no one would believe that.
Especially since Zhan Changshi had already sent people to assassinate Mrs. Wang Wu, but Su Rong arrived in time. How could such a coincidence happen in the world
The Su family is the same. Even though one of their uncles has died, they still continue to bet on the lineage of the former prince. How loyal are they? Since they are so loyal, then go and accompany the prince underground. Perhaps the prince is still in need of a loyal dog to serve him underground.
Unexpectedly, when Chun'an heard these words suddenly, his frustration immediately dissipated, and he looked at Prince Fenyang with bright eyes.
Prince Fenyang urged her to leave: "I have something important to do. You should go back first and think about a birthday gift for the Queen Mother."
After sending Chun An away, he asked someone to invite the gentleman in the mansion and asked directly: "If you want to deal with the Su family, what good plan do you have?"
Although he sounded dignified and reprimanded his impatient daughter, in fact, Prince Fenyang was also very angry inside and could not bear to see all his efforts go to waste.
This really hurts more than a slap in the face.
Especially, it would be of no benefit to Song Heng to restore his identity. He had told Emperor Yuanfeng about the relationship between Tie Cong and Lai Bin. Others didn't know about it, but Song Heng, who was smarter than a dog, would know about it, right
