Queen Ma walked out of the kitchen and saw Xiao Han standing at the door. She glanced at the scene in the palace and suddenly felt a pain in her heart.
In the huge Xiaohou Mansion, Xiao Han was always alone. How could he not be moved by the loneliness that penetrated deep into his heart?
Therefore, this scene in front of him can touch Xiao Han's nerves. How can he not make Empress Ma feel distressed?
"Snowstorm."
Queen Ma came to Xiao Han's side and called softly.
"Auntie, I'm fine."
Xiao Han turned to look at Queen Ma and shook his head slightly.
"Auntie gave you a decree. If you want to enter the palace, you can enter the palace at any time."
Empress Ma gently pinched Xiao Han's cheek and then said with a smile: "Don't wrong yourself. Come to Kunning Palace to eat whatever you want, and my aunt will cook it for you. Kunning Palace will always be your home."
"Thank you, aunt."
A warm current flashed through Xiao Han's heart, and then he nodded.
In the Ming Dynasty in front of him, the only person who was most selfless to Xiao Han was Queen Ma in front of him.
That's really not wanting anything. Regardless of whether Xiao Han becomes a talent or not, Queen Ma's love for Xiao Han will never disappear.
After all, Xiao Han was the child raised by Queen Ma.
Of course, this naturally includes adopted sons such as Mu Ying.
Just because Queen Ma never favors one thing over another.
"You will always be Auntie's good boy."
Empress Ma nodded again, and then she picked up the ginger soup in the maid's hand and handed it to Xiao Han and said, "I almost forgot. You have been weak since you were a child, so you can't drink it cold. Drink it while it's hot."
"Um."
Xiao Han took the steaming ginger soup and drank it all in one gulp. The spicy taste in his mouth immediately made Xiao Han smack his tongue.
"You kid, drink slowly."
Queen Ma glanced at Xiao Han reproachfully, then looked at the maid behind her and said, "Send it in quickly to avoid getting cold."
"According to the order."
The maid bent down slightly and walked into Kunning Palace holding a plate of ginger soup.
"I've been used to drinking it since I was a kid, and the ginger soup really doesn't taste good."
Xiao Han shrugged slightly and said, "If my aunt hadn't made it myself, Fengxue wouldn't drink it."
It is true that Xiao Han has not liked ginger soup since he was a child. No, he has never liked ginger soup at all. But his body is not up to par, and he contracted a hidden disease when he was wandering. He is easily infected with wind and cold, so he must use the heat of ginger soup to drive it away. It's cold, so Queen Ma prepares ginger soup for Xiao Han every winter. This has never changed every year.
Because Queen Ma knew that Xiao Han basically didn't drink other than the ginger soup she made.
"By the way, aunt, it's getting late, so Feng Xue will go back home first."
Xiao Han glanced at the sky again, then looked at Queen Ma and continued: "Otherwise, it would be dark and the roads would be slippery, which would be really inconvenient."
"Then Auntie won't keep you here. If you don't agree to keep you here anyway, then go back."
"Go to your uncle's place and tell your aunt, so you don't have to report it."
Queen Ma looked at the sky first, then nodded.
"Thank you, Auntie, Fengxue will leave."
Xiao Han bowed slightly again and then left Kunning Palace.
Afterwards, Queen Ma watched Xiao Han leave, sighed again, and then turned back to Kunning Palace.
"Sister, where is the Snowman?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Queen Ma was alone, he asked with some confusion.
"It started to snow again outside, and it was almost getting dark. Feng Xue was weak, so she told her to go back first."
Queen Ma pointed to the falling snow outside, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and replied.
"This brat has made some progress today."
"I have to go back to my hometown today, so it's rare that I didn't come to report."
A smile flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
"I asked him not to report it, otherwise, according to Feng Xue's character, he would definitely report it."
Empress Ma came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, waved her hand and said: "Since you became emperor, this child has always been alienated from us, and I understand it, but I just like the old Fengxue."
"A person who is alone will always be a person who is alone."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly.
How could he not understand what Queen Ma meant?
After all, Xiao Han's alienation from Zhu Yuanzhang was nothing more than the difference between monarch and minister. This gap was an insurmountable rule.
"My son believes that one day, Fengxue will let go of all his grudges. At that time, Fengxue will still be Fengxue, and you will still be you. Nothing has changed."
Zhu Biao put his hand on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder and smiled slightly.
"hope so."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly.
However, this is not a big deal. Xiao Han was originally Zhu Yuanzhang's powerful helper left to Zhu Biao. As long as there is not much gap between the two brothers, then he, a lonely man, can still get what he wants.
"Then for the next period of time, dad will have a good rest and leave all the affairs of the court to his son. Don't worry, my son has discussed it with Feng Xue and will definitely handle it beautifully and make the world convinced."
Zhu Biao nodded first, then returned to the topic and continued the topic just now.
"Well, we believe you."
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Biao's shoulder heavily, and continued to smile: "Don't be afraid, just go ahead and do it boldly. No matter what happens, if anyone dares to be presumptuous, he will be killed if he deserves it. There will be no mercy. Dad will take care of you."
When he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes burst out with murderous intent again. He also wanted to use this matter to tell the world and courtiers that Zhu Biao's position as prince would never be shaken.
"Thank you dad."
Zhu Biao nodded and thanked.
"Just be polite to dad."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao angrily, and then said with some emotion: "We still point to you to ascend the throne. Dad still wants to return to Fengyang and herd cattle during his lifetime."
"father!"
There was nothing wrong with the first half of Zhu Yuanzhang's sentence, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, but the second half of the sentence made Zhu Biao stand up and shout with a straight face.
"Okay, okay, don't say it anymore, don't say it anymore."
Sure enough, when Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned this, Zhu Biao immediately turned against him, which made Lao Zhu very helpless. However, facing his favorite eldest son, Lao Zhu showed compromise.
"My son, please retire."
"Father and mother, please rest early."
Zhu Biao's face darkened, he bowed and left Kunning Palace. He was afraid that if he continued talking, the father and son would have another big quarrel.
And don’t think that Zhu Biao dare not quarrel with Lao Zhu. After all, as the most stable prince in history, he is not afraid of Lao Zhu at all. On issues of principle, the two men can even stage a chase scene , of course, Lao Zhu chases Xiao Zhu.
"Do you really want to abdicate?"
After Zhu Biao left, Queen Ma raised her eyes, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "This is not like you."
"This world has to be left to the boss. If you hand it over earlier, we can enjoy one more day of happiness. We really don't want to be this cowardly emperor for a day anymore."
Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips, glanced at the comfortable Queen Ma, and said: "In the next life, you will be the emperor and we will be the queen."
"Then I am also the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces, six courtyards."
Queen Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang again and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Well..."
Lao Zhu was speechless for a moment and could only scratch his head and smile.
