?
The Empress Dowager once tested Ye Zhen. At that time, Ye Zhen's answer was very positive. She did not like life in the palace. What she yearned for was freedom. She was trapped in a place to endure the loneliness of day and night, only to get the favor of a man. She had enough of this kind of life.
Hearing Ye Zhen's words, the Empress Dowager was stunned.
In that case, Yaoyao still hadn't fallen for the emperor. In that case, what had the emperor been doing these past few days?
"You … …" The Empress Dowager looked at her in surprise, "Yao Yao, are you really not moved by the emperor at all?"
Ye Rou opened her mouth to deny it, but she found that she couldn't firmly say that she wasn't tempted. How could she not be tempted?
Mo Rongzhan had risked his life to save her in the hunting ground. When she had gone missing, he had personally come to look for her. He had even gone to Zhao Family Island to pick her up … She was not a cold-hearted person, but these things were not enough for her to let go of everything.
"Ai …" The Empress Dowager sighed. She had been young and had experienced a lot. It was just that she had been sent to the palace before she was betrothed to the person she loved. The previous Emperor only loved her because she was young and beautiful. She only hoped that the previous Emperor could protect her. There was no love between the two of them. In these decades, she had seen many deaths in the palace and many cruel and heartless things. She knew very well the value of sincerity.
The emperor was her son. He had not received much love since he was a child and had only experienced bullying. As an empress dowager, she hoped that her son could be a good emperor. As a mother, she only hoped that her son could experience the beauty of love.
She didn't care at all whether the Mo Family could have many children and grandchildren, or whether they could protect the world forever. She only wanted her sons to live a good life.
It was rare for Ah Zhan's heart to be moved by a woman. As a mother, she was actually quite happy. At the very least … her son wouldn't turn into someone as cold and heartless as the late emperor just because of his childhood fate.
"Mother, I am a princess now." Ye Zhen couldn't bear to see the Empress Dowager so disappointed, so she hugged her mother's arm and rubbed it a few times.
"It's because you're a princess that His Majesty did so many things. Yaoyao, aijia has never seen … His Majesty treat a woman with such care. You're the first." The Empress Dowager touched Ye Zhen's temples. When she first saw the little girl, she felt that she looked like her former daughter-in-law. This may be a kind of fate.
She liked Yaoyao very much, especially her pair of clear and pure eyes, which made people feel very comfortable looking at them. Eyes could show a person's heart, and she believed that Yaoyao was a kind and beautiful girl.
Ye Zhen bowed her head and smiled bitterly. Mo Rongzhan's intention for her was the last thing she wanted. "Empress Dowager …"
"Do you know when His Majesty first married a wife?" The Empress Dowager seemed to have sunk into her memories as her eyes drifted out the window, "At that time, he was at his most dejected. Although he was already the Prince of Qin, he had never been favored since he was young. Not only was he bullied by his brothers, even those officials looked down on him. Whenever he went out to attend a banquet, he would be bullied by others. Even marrying a princess was something that he was forced to do. Aijia had never seen the Emperor cry, but on the day of his marriage, he cried like a child in front of aijia. A dignified prince, even his marriage had to be forced by others to marry a woman he didn't like … At that time, aijia thought that if the Emperor found a woman he liked in the future, then no matter what aijia did, I would make sure that he would get what he wanted."
Ye Zhen listened in a daze. She didn't know … that when Mo Rongzhan married her, he was in so much pain.
In her opinion, she finally married the man she loved, but what about Mo Rongzhan? Was he forced by the treacherous official Ye Yisong to marry a girl from his enemy's family? Was that why he was in so much pain?
"Mother …" Ye Zhen's eyes turned red, unable to say words of comfort.
The Empress Dowager smiled faintly, "After the Emperor got married, he went to the border to fight. After two years, he hasn't seen Princess Qin. Before you appeared, he didn't know … that his princess was so beautiful, and he didn't know that his princess loved him so much."
Ye Zhen gently lay on the Empress Dowager's knee. "Empress Dowager, do you hate Ye Zhen, too?"
"How can Ai jia hate her? She is also a poor child." The Empress Dowager sighed. "It's a pity that her fate with the Emperor is too shallow."
Yes, fate is too shallow …
If it is not fate, how can it be explained that they have known each other for a long time, but they don't even know each other's true identity?
"Yao Yao, Ai jia said so much just to tell you that the Emperor treats you … differently from other women." Moreover, he is determined to win. Even as a mother, she can't stop his determination.
Ye Zhen lowered her head. How can she explain to the Empress Dowager what kind of feelings she has for Mo Rongzhan?
"Empress Dowager, Miss Ye asks for an audience." Just as Ye Zhen was tangled, a palace maid reported from outside.
Then, Cheng Kui's voice sounded. "Miss Ye, the Empress Dowager is talking to Her Royal Highness."
Miss Ye? Ye Zhen's eyes moved and she asked the Empress Dowager with a smile. "Mother, is Miss Ye … the girl who saved the Emperor?"
The Empress Dowager nodded and put away the sadness in her heart. "Yes, it's her. Ai jia sees that she is a poor person. She is an orphan at a young age. Because she has been imprisoned for several years, she has even lost her memory. She is being treated by Doctor Qi."
"Oh." The corner of Ye Zhen's mouth curled up slightly. Is it really amnesia or fake? All of this is Lu Lingzhi's conspiracy.
"Let her come in. You can meet her." The Empress Dowager said with a smile and opened her mouth to let Ye Yaoyao in.
Ye Yaoyao, who was outside the door, had already planned to leave. When she heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to see her, a happy smile appeared on her face. At the same time, she was a little nervous. Thinking that the famous Princess Yao Yao was inside, she felt inexplicably nervous.
Ye Yaoyao's hands were tightly twisted together as she walked in step by step. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with a trembling light. When she saw the girl beside the Empress Dowager, she was completely stunned.
There is no beauty in the world, but she was born in a thousand years.
There was only one sentence in her mind. It turned out that Lu Yaoyao was really the most beautiful woman in the world. It turned out that those people did not say that Lu Yaoyao was beautiful because of flattery. It turned out that … there was really someone more beautiful than her.
"Yao 'er is here." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, pulling Ye Yaoyao's mind back.
Ye Yaoyao came back to her senses and saluted the Empress Dowager in embarrassment. "This commoner greets the Empress Dowager and the Princess."
She was so useless that she was shocked by Lu Yaoyao's beauty. She really didn't expect that Lu Yaoyao was more beautiful than she thought.
The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "Dispense with the formalities. What flowers did you pick today?"
Ye Yaoyao took the basket in her hand. "Today, I saw some wildflowers by the lake. This commoner saw that they were fresh and moving, so I picked some back."
