Son, he doesn't want to divorce

Chapter 396 Bringing Mother into the Palace
The next day, things developed just as Gu Hanzhang guessed. Near noon, Emperor Renxiao gave an oral order, asking Chaoli to take Fang Huimin into the palace together.

Fang Huimin felt vaguely worried, and she was also very conflicted. She didn't know what Queen Xilin wrote to Emperor Renxiao.

And is she about to leave Daqi and head to Xilin?

If Fang Zhengye knew this news, I don't know how he would feel.

Will he be worried that he will not come back in the future?

Fang Huimin sat on the carriage, sitting face to face with Chaoli, with a very tangled and complicated look on her face, all of which fell into Chaoli's eyes.

Chaoli didn't think much about anything else, he just thought that Fang Huimin was worried about Xilin's attitude.

"Mom, don't worry. Since Queen Xilin will send a letter to the emperor, she has made sufficient preparations. I just don't know when to go to Xilin. The prince may still need some time." Chaoli suddenly said.

Fang Huimin took back her mind after hearing this. She was embarrassed to say that she was thinking about Fang Zhengye just now, not about the situation in Xilin.

Perhaps she had never wanted to be a queen, so Fang Huimin didn't care at all.

However, she couldn't say that she was thinking about Fang Zhengye.

"Don't worry, mother. I never thought that I would have such an identity. It still feels like a dream. Ah Li, I have learned some about Xilin's situation from Long Lin, and I feel very complicated. For me "Yan, these are not important, I just want you to be well. As for the throne, it has never been a necessity." Fang Huimin sighed.

If possible, she even hoped to live a peaceful life in Daqi and ignore what happened in Xilin.

But she couldn't do it. Her biological parents had sacrificed a lot to find her, especially now that her biological father was still terminally ill.

"I know what mother is thinking. It's too early to say this now. Let's wait until we get to Xilin. This time, Queen Xilin sent someone to send a letter. I think it is about mother's identity, and she also wants to ask the emperor for help. Protect your mother." Chaoli chuckled and reached out to hold Fang Huimin's hand, "Mom, don't think too much, these are not big things."

"Yes, I understand." Fang Huimin nodded.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

Gu Hanzhang was also waiting for the two at the gate of the palace. He was still wearing court clothes, and he was obviously going to meet Emperor Renxiao with Chao Li and Fang Huimin.

"Mother-in-law, I will take you to the Royal Garden." Gu Hanzhang said.

Fang Huimin nodded, "It's hard work, you still have to accompany us after the morning court."

Fang Huimin had already seen how good Gu Hanzhang was towards Chaoli these days, and she was extremely satisfied with her son-in-law. She also called him much closer and no longer called him Prince Gu Hanzhang.

Gu Hanzhang smiled, "It's not hard, it's deserved."

"Let's go. Don't keep the emperor waiting. Several princes from Xilin should have arrived in the palace." Chaoli said.

The man's movements were faster. She originally planned to enter the palace with the other princes, but they said they had other matters and went to see Emperor Renxiao first.

This time, they should be waiting for them to enter the palace with Emperor Renxiao in the imperial garden.

There is a huge pavilion in the Imperial Garden where you can enjoy the shade, and there are baskets of bamboo around it, which makes the pavilion very cool, not to mention that there are ice cubes around the pavilion to cool down.

I have to say that being an emperor is enjoyment. No wonder so many people want to be an emperor.

"Well, they left early." Fang Huimin replied.

As the three of them talked, Gu Hanzhang led them towards the Imperial Garden.

It was already midsummer, and it was not pleasant to walk for a while in the palace, so Gu Hanzhang had already asked the palace people to hold umbrellas for them.As for Gu Hanzhang himself, he is a man and is not afraid of being exposed to the sun.

"It's very hot in the palace. Your Majesty has prepared ice-cold mung bean soup to relieve the heat. You can drink some when my mother-in-law arrives later." Gu Hanzhang spoke again.

It will be autumn soon, so it will be hotter these days, and autumn tigers are a bit vicious.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. My health has improved a lot. Maybe it's because I left the court, but I'm no longer as frail as before." Fang Huimin said softly.

Chaoli nodded, "Yes, so it's better to leave the palace. My mother's life before was simply too frustrating."

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the Royal Garden.

Similar to what Chaoli said, several princes from Xilin had indeed been chatting with Emperor Renxiao in the imperial garden, and the atmosphere seemed to be very good.

Emperor Renxiao himself had never been to Xilin. Although he despised women as emperors, he naturally could not show it in front of several princes.

It's also because everyone has some ideas about talking well, so it's so harmonious.

Gu Hanzhang and the three of them saluted Emperor Renxiao together, "I have seen the emperor, a humble minister/concubine/a commoner's wife."

"Hahaha, no need to be polite, please get up and sit down quickly. The sun is very hot today, and I was still a little uncomfortable when I came here." Emperor Renxiao smiled with a smile on his face.

There is a large round table in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, which can accommodate 20 people for a meal. Today, Emperor Renxiao also deliberately chose this place to chat with people from the west.

The scenery is great, but it doesn't matter if it's a little hot. Anyway, there are ice cubes to cool down the heat, so people won't suffer from heatstroke.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three of them said again.

Fang Huimin was the most inexperienced person. Even though she knew her status was noble, she was still a little uneasy, especially when she sat down at the same table as Emperor Renxiao. This was something she had never thought of.

It made her feel very uncomfortable for a moment, and she didn't know how to position her hands and feet.

Chaoli had already noticed Fang Huimin's uneasiness, and stretched out his hand without any trace, holding the back of Fang Huimin's hand on his knee to reassure her.

Also, with my daughter, son-in-law and several brothers by my side, I should be more calm.

Emperor Renxiao did not notice Fang Huimin's uneasiness. He pointed to the small porcelain bowl in front of everyone.

"This is ice-cold mung bean soup. Drink some quickly to relieve the heat."

Everyone quickly thanked me and started tasting mung bean soup.

I have to say that the skills of the imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen are really good. Even a simple mung bean soup is very delicious. It is sweet and not greasy in the mouth, with a little softness and a hint of coolness. , drinking it will eliminate all the heat.

"Your Majesty, this mung bean soup tastes wonderful." The second prince said with a smile.

Emperor Renxiao was proud, but it didn't show on his face.

"It's just mung bean soup. If the Second Prince likes it, eat more and I'll send you some tomorrow."

"The Emperor is kind to you, but I will be disrespectful to you. Thank you very much, Your Majesty." The second prince smiled.

Immediately, the eyes of several princes fell on Fang Huimin.
