Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

Taiji Palace.

Lizheng Hall.

In the magnificent hall, a woman of unparalleled beauty was embroidering something stitch by stitch.

Her green jade fingers were moving, and a beautiful embroidery was slowly unfolding.

Beside the woman, a slightly lame boy was accompanying her, and he seemed to be begging for something.

"Mother, now that spring has come and flowers are blooming, I want to go hunting outside the city. Please allow me to do so!"

Empress Changsun glanced at him, with a kind smile on her face, and whispered softly,"Have you finished your homework, child? You just want to go out and play."

"There's a message from Chongwen Pavilion, saying that you've been lazy in your studies these days. If your father finds out, see how he punishes you!"

As she spoke, she tapped Li Chengqian's forehead with her jade finger, her eyes full of pampering.

"Mother! Please don't tell father about this!"

Hearing what Empress Zhangsun said, Li Chengqian was shocked and said with a bitter face:"That old man Li Gang is too strict. He makes me read so many articles every day. I get up at five in the morning and can't finish reading them by the hour of Xu."

"Lately I’ve been dreaming about that hateful face of old Li Gang. Look at my eyes, I haven’t slept well, so how can I have the energy to study!"

""Oh, mother, please allow me this time. I will go out to play for two days. When I come back, I will study hard!"

Seeing Li Chengqian acting like a spoiled child, Empress Changsun nodded with a helpless look.

"That...All right, in just two days. When you come back, your mother will personally check your homework. If you slack off, I will not let you off easily!"

"Long live the queen mother! Long live the queen mother!"

After receiving the promise, Li Chengqian jumped up happily and ran out of the hall.

At this time, he bumped into Changsun Wuji who was coming.

"You kid, how can you be so reckless!"

The two of them almost bumped into each other, and Zhangsun Wuji said with a dark face:"You are the prince, you should pay attention to your identity!"

Li Chengqian was in a good mood and bowed repeatedly.

"Yes, uncle!"

"Hmm! Where is the Queen?"

How can an uncle be really angry when he scolds his nephew? Changsun Wuji nodded and said

"The Queen Mother is in the palace, you guys talk, I'm going to go play!"

With that, he ran away like the wind!

"This child is so impatient, how can he be a prince at all!"

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He came to the hall and bowed, only to see Empress Changsun saying with a smile:"Brother, how come you have time to come to me today?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at the maids and eunuchs on both sides, and heard Empress Changsun say:"You go down, I have something to talk to my uncle!"

After sending the maids and eunuchs away, Empress Changsun asked in confusion:"What's wrong with you, brother? Why are you so serious?"

Changsun Wuji carefully took out the dragon pendant from his arms and placed it on the table.

"Queen, do you still remember this thing?"

Empress Changsun picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. The smile on her face froze, and then inexplicable tears suddenly filled her eyes.

"This is...Kuan'er's jade pendant!"

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said,"It seems that I was not wrong!"

Empress Changsun asked repeatedly,"Brother, how come Kuan'er's jade pendant is in your hands?..."

"Yes, didn’t he die young?"

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone:"I saw a child in the Jingzhao prison today, and this jade pendant came from his hands!"

"Moreover, he is about the same age as Kuan Er, and happens to be from Liangzhou!"

Empress Chang Sun asked anxiously,"Why didn't my elder brother bring him into the palace!""

"Of course we can't bring him into the palace!"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said seriously:"Qian'er has just been named the crown prince, the throne of the heir has been decided, and the titles of the other princes have also been given to them. Now there is another prince, how should we place him?"

"If it is really Kuan'er, he should be brought into the palace and given a status!"

Empress Changsun was a famous virtuous queen in ancient and modern times. Among all the princes, the one she owed the most was the second prince Li Kuan.

This child was free and intelligent, and his appearance was quite lovable. In order to gain the support of the old subordinates of the King of Chu, she reluctantly adopted him to the King of Chu Li Zhiyun.

Who would have thought that this child died at an early age.

Now, she has ascended to the throne of the queen and is the mother of the country. The one she feels most guilty about is the second son Li Kuan.

A son is the apple of his mother's eye, and Empress Changsun is no exception.

Now, when she thinks that Li Kuan may still be alive, the dusty past suddenly comes to her mind.

"Queen, this matter needs to be considered carefully!"

Zhang Sun Wuji whispered,"Right now, the empire is not stable both inside and outside the country. The Turks are surrounding us, and the former subordinates of Prince Yin are still secretly making trouble. Your Majesty should work hard to govern the country, just to avenge the shame of the Wei River!"

"Now that this child has appeared, who knows who is behind it?"

"Is his background clean? Is there someone behind him?"

"It is not appropriate to bring him into the palace before all this is clarified!"

Empress Chang Sun was also a sensible person, and she immediately understood the twists and turns.

After a long time, Empress Chang Sun sighed and said,"But if I don't do something, I always feel guilty about this child!"

"How is he?"

Looking at Zhangsun Wuji with burning eyes, Empress Zhangsun was silent for a long time before she asked

"He looks exactly like you when you were young!"

Changsun Wuji nodded.

Hearing this, Empress Changsun couldn't help but clench her hands.

"How is he doing?"

"His current status is a refugee, who came all the way from Liangzhou to beg for food. He fell seriously ill in the capital and was imprisoned by Jingzhao Prefecture."

"I have already released him and now he is in a house in the south of the city!"

Hearing this, Empress Changsun burst into tears.

Her heart was broken that her own flesh and blood had suffered such a disaster.

"Queen, don’t be too sad!"

Changsun Wuji comforted her,"If his identity is true, he will be brought into the palace sooner or later, and we will make it up to him in the future!"

"But if he is not, then it will bring disaster to the foundation of the court, and even be controlled by those with ulterior motives. At that time, it will be a disaster!"

As the behind-the-scenes counselor of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Changsun Wuji's vision is not to be underestimated!

"Hey, I understand!"

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Empress Changsun gradually regained her composure.

"He is in the south of the city. Can I go and see him?"

"I remember that he had a birthmark on the sole of his foot, Cheng Qian's was on the left foot, and Kuan Er's was on the right foot!" When

Zhang Sun Wuji heard this, he asked quickly,"What kind of birthmark is it, and what shape is it?"

Empress Zhang Sun said,"Only I know this, so I can know it when I see it with my own eyes!""

"You, you just want to see him!"

Empress Changsun smiled without commenting.

"Well then!"

"I know you, girl, have been stubborn since childhood. Once you have made up your mind, eight horses can’t pull you back!"

"Now you are the queen, the mother of the country, but you still look like a child!"

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"However, don't let His Majesty know about this first. Before he figured out his identity, don't let him know!"

Empress Changsun nodded.

The emperor's words could kill thousands of people. If he knew about this, who knows how many troubles would arise.

"Hide your identity when you meet him!"

Empress Changsun rolled her eyes and said,"Do I need you to tell me that?""

""Okay, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, Zhang Sun Wuji left a secret letter and hurriedly left the hall.

Inside the hall, Empress Zhang Sun had no intention of embroidering at the moment. She opened the secret letter and found a portrait on it. It was Li Nian.

Holding the portrait, Empress Zhang Sun was fascinated, crying and laughing at the same time. It was unknown what she was thinking.

After a long time, she raised her head.

"Huan'er, go prepare two sets of casual clothes, we will leave the palace tomorrow!"......
