After my inner voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 64

The queen looked at Rong Mama's back as she left, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in her heart. She was both excited and afraid, hoping to find the fifth princess but also worried that she would bring unknown variables. However, she also knew that no matter what the result was, she had to face everything bravely.

In the following days, the Queen and Rong Mama secretly investigated the whereabouts of the fifth princess. They went to every corner of the palace and asked countless people, but they still couldn't find any clues. However, they did not give up hope, but continued to persevere, believing that one day they would find the truth.

Finally, on a sunny afternoon, a mysterious maid found the queen, holding a familiar white jade pendant in her hand, which was the fifth princess's favorite ornament. The maid whispered to the queen that she had seen the fifth princess appreciating flowers in the imperial garden, and that day was the day the queen told her life story.

The queen was overwhelmed with excitement when she heard this. She held the white jade pendant tightly, as if she wanted to feel the breath of the fifth princess from it. She knew that the words of this palace maid might be the only clue and her only hope to find the fifth princess.

So the queen immediately arranged for someone to go to the imperial garden according to the instructions of the palace maid. They searched the garden for a long time and finally found a hidden cave in a remote corner. The entrance of the cave was covered by weeds and vines, and it was difficult to find its existence without careful observation.

The Queen and Rong Mama walked into the cave together, only to find it dark and deep. They walked forward carefully, fearing to disturb something. Finally, at the end of the cave, they saw a familiar figure - it was the long-lost Fifth Princess!

When the Fifth Princess saw the arrival of the Queen and Rong Mama, she was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears. She hugged the Queen tightly, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances and thoughts. The Queen also hugged the Fifth Princess tightly, feeling her warmth and breath. She knew that at this moment, she had finally found her daughter and the happiness that had been lost.

It turned out that the fifth princess accidentally fell into the cave while enjoying the flowers that day. As the entrance of the cave was covered tightly, she could not climb out no matter what. She had no choice but to wait for rescue in the cave, but she did not expect that she would have to wait for more than ten years. During these long years, she relied on the spring water and wild fruits in the cave to survive. Although she was lonely, she never gave up hope.

As the queen listened to the fifth princess's story, she felt an indescribable sense of guilt and love. She knew that as a mother, she had not fulfilled her due responsibility and obligation to protect her daughter. However, she also knew that now was not the time to blame herself, but to cherish the hard-earned happiness in front of her.

So, the Queen and Rong Mama took the Fifth Princess back to the palace. They told the Emperor the truth and asked him to restore the Fifth Princess's identity and status. The Emperor listened to their story and was overwhelmed with surprise and joy. He immediately ordered the restoration of the Fifth Princess's status and granted her the dignity and honor she deserved.

From then on, the fifth princess returned to the palace and enjoyed the dignity and love she deserved. The queen was also relieved and happy because she found her daughter. They spent many wonderful times together and left many unforgettable memories. And the difficult journey to find the fifth princess has become a precious treasure that they will always treasure in their hearts.

The Phoenix Returns to the Nest: The Return of the Five Princesses

In late autumn in the Forbidden City, the maple leaves are like fire, burning the entire palace with some fiery emotions. In Kunning Palace, the queen sat on a carved pear wood chair, holding the white jade rhinoceros pendant tightly in her hand, with a look of determination and confusion in her eyes. Beside her, Rong Ma stood quietly, her face full of worry, but she didn't dare to disturb the queen's thoughts.

"This is not a coincidence. I am sure that there is no such coincidence in the world. She is definitely my Xiaowu, there is no doubt about it!" The queen finally spoke, her tone firm and full of certainty. Her voice echoed in the empty palace, carrying an unquestionable power.

Rong Mama opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the Queen waved her hand to stop her. "Your Majesty..." She called in a low voice, with a trace of worry in her eyes.

The queen took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "You have a point. Now is not the time to celebrate. We need to quickly investigate the past of the Jin couple. I need to get better and see her in the best condition possible." Her words revealed a kind of determination and expectation, and her eyes flashed with determination.

Madam Rong respectfully agreed: "Yes! I will do my best to find out everything as soon as possible."

Looking back, the Queen and Rong Mama both thought it was a corpse theft case, and ended up taking a detour and naturally getting nothing. At that time, their hearts were filled with despair and pain, as if they had lost all hope. Now, knowing that Li Qingge was adopted by the Jin family, it was like finding the source of the clues, and it would be much easier to investigate. This sudden hope made them all feel extremely excited and expectant.

The queen picked up the white jade rhino pendant again and stared at it for a long time, her eyes a little dazed. This pendant was chosen by her for Xiaowu herself. The rhino on it was carved vividly, as if it still had Xiaowu's body temperature and breath. She seemed to see the lively and lovely little girl again, chasing butterflies in the garden, her laughter as clear as a silver bell.

"No wonder I felt an indescribable sense of closeness to her when I first saw her; no wonder her eyes and brows looked so familiar; no wonder I felt so happy when we were chatting on the day of flower viewing; no wonder I couldn't help but feel distressed when I heard that she was an orphan adopted by the Jin family. This is the natural connection between mother and daughter." The queen murmured to herself, her voice choked with sobs.

The ancients valued blood and believed it had a mysterious power, and the queen was no exception. She felt that God must have had mercy on her for losing her children one after another and returned Xiaowu to her. This was a great blessing! Thinking of this, her heart was filled with gratitude and happiness.

However, when the queen thought of the bitch Wei who spread rumors that Xiaowu was a calamity that would bring bad luck to her family, causing her to die at the hands of palace servants and then end up living in poverty in a peasant family, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. She clenched her fists tightly, as if she wanted to vent all her anger.

"Hmph, she slandered my daughter as a disaster star, but she herself suffered misfortunes one after another, demoted from Concubine Ling to Noble Lady Wei. It's really karma!" The Queen said bitterly, with an irrepressible anger and hatred in her voice.

In order to recover from her illness as soon as possible, the queen began to pay more attention to her diet and daily routine. She took medicine on time every day and specially invited the imperial physician to regulate her body. Rong Mama was busy investigating the incident. This old mama in the deep palace was very good at getting information, and she soon found some key clues.

Finally, they learned that the place where the Jin family met Li Qingge was only a few steps away from the tomb of the fifth princess. The neighbors in the village also said that when Jin's father brought her back, she was wearing a bright yellow coat, which was very bright. Bright yellow is the most noble color. In the Qing Dynasty, only the emperor, empress and imperial concubine could use it. Even the prince could only use apricot yellow and golden yellow. This color is so special that it must have come from the palace.

When the Queen heard about the yellow coat, she became even more certain that Li Qingge was her daughter. She felt an indescribable excitement and joy in her heart, as if she couldn't wait to see her daughter who had been lost and found again.

Li Qingge was also keeping an eye on the movements in the harem. Although she was outside the palace, she quickly learned that Rong Mama was investigating her adoptive parents thanks to the power of the Jin family and her own intelligence. She knew that the queen had discovered the truth, and she couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in her heart.

"The game has been set up for so long, it's time to take it a step further!" Li Qingge's eyes sparkled, holding a string of agarwood beads in her hand, and walked into Kunning Palace. This string of beads was specially selected by her. Agarwood is the best agarwood and can calm the mind. In this harem struggle, it is indeed a good thing.

When she walked into Kunning Palace, the queen was taking a nap. When Rong Mama saw her, she was stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly. "Li Qingge, why are you here?" She asked in a low voice, with a hint of vigilance in her tone.

Li Qingge smiled slightly and handed the agarwood beads in her hand to Rong Mama. "I picked this specially for the Queen, I hope she likes it." She said in a gentle but firm voice.

Rong Mama took the beads and felt a little confused. But she knew that Li Qingge was a smart girl and maybe she had her own plans. So she nodded and placed the beads on the Queen's bedside.

When the queen woke up, she saw the string of agarwood beads. She picked up the beads and smelled the faint fragrance, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that it was sent by Li Qingge, and she couldn't help but feel touched. She decided to summon Li Qingge to have a good talk about this matter.

When Li Qingge stepped into Kunning Palace again, the queen was already sitting on the throne, and Rong Mama was standing beside her. She looked at Li Qingge, her eyes flashing with complex emotions. "Li Qingge, do you know why I summoned you?" she asked, with a hint of majesty in her voice.

Li Qingge nodded and replied respectfully: "I know that the Queen has discovered my background."

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but feel angry. But she knew it wasn't Li Qingge's fault, so she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Since you know, then tell me what you think." She said, her voice calm.

Li Qingge smiled slightly and said, "What I want to say is that no matter what my background is, I am willing to serve the Queen. I know that the Queen has always wanted to find the whereabouts of the fifth princess, and now I am willing to help the Queen realize this wish."

The queen was a little surprised when she heard this. She looked at Li Qingge, as if she could see through her mind. But she knew that Li Qingge was a smart girl, and maybe she really had her own plans. So she nodded and said, "Okay, then I believe you. But you have to remember that no matter how your identity changes, you are my daughter. I will always protect you until you find your own happiness."

Li Qingge felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She knew that the queen was a person who kept her word, and she also knew that her choice this time was the right one. So, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully. "Thank you for your grace, Queen. I will definitely remember it in my heart." She said, with a hint of sob in her voice.

From then on, Li Qingge became a popular figure around the queen. With her intelligence and wit, she helped the queen solve many problems. The queen also trusted her more and more, and even gave her some important tasks to complete.

During this time, Li Qingge gradually understood the Queen's difficulties and hardships. She knew that the Queen had always wanted to find someone to rely on, and so did she. So, she decided to work harder to help the Queen and strive for a better future for herself.

Finally one day, the Queen summoned Li Qingge to Kunning Palace. She looked at Li Qingge with complex emotions in her eyes. "Li Qingge, I have decided to make you my adopted daughter and confer you the title of princess." She said with a hint of majesty and expectation in her voice.

Li Qingge was filled with indescribable excitement and joy when she heard this. She knew that this was the Queen's recognition and trust in her, and it was also her dream. So, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully. "Thank you for your grace, Queen. I will work harder to serve you." She said with a tremor in her voice.

From then on, Li Qingge lived in the palace as a princess. With her intelligence and wit, she gradually gained a foothold in the palace. The queen also loved and trusted her more and more, and even entrusted her with some important state affairs.

During this time, Li Qingge gradually found her sense of belonging and value. She knew that she was no longer a lonely orphan, but had a home and relatives to rely on. Therefore, she cherished this hard-won happiness and opportunity even more, and worked hard to contribute her strength to the queen and the country.

The queen was filled with relief and pride as she watched Li Qingge grow and change. She knew that she had not made a mistake and that Li Qingge was indeed a person worthy of trust and reliance. Therefore, she decided to give her more power and responsibilities, so that she could become her true right-hand man and successor.

In this legendary story, Li Qingge won the recognition and trust of the queen with her intelligence and perseverance. The queen also accepted this lost and found daughter with her motherly love and tolerance. The emotional entanglement and deep mother-daughter love between them became one of the most moving chapters in this history.

Phoenix Returns to the Nest: Mother and Daughter Reunited

The autumn breeze blew gently, bringing a bit of coolness, but it also rolled up the endless thoughts and secrets in the Forbidden City. Rong Mama stood at the door of Kunning Palace, her sharp eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, as if looking for something. At this moment, a beautiful figure came into her sight. It was Li Qingge, the queen of Dayan. She was dressed in an elegant palace dress and walked lightly, like a chrysanthemum in autumn, quietly blooming.

When Rong Mama saw Li Qingge coming, she was delighted and quickly bowed. Her movements were so fast that it seemed as if she turned into the wind and swept into the bedroom in an instant. Her voice became sharp with excitement: "Your Majesty, look, the Queen of Dayan is here in person!"

The queen was sitting on the couch, holding a Buddhist scripture in her hand. She looked calm, but her eyes were filled with endless worries and expectations. When she heard Rong Mama's words, she almost dropped the Buddhist scripture in her hand, and an indescribable surprise and excitement surged in her heart. Her voice trembled with excitement: "Quick, please ask her to come in."

"Yes, sir!" Rong Mama responded, as if she had received an imperial decree, and quickly led Li Qingge into the house. Li Qingge held in her hand an exquisite wooden box containing eighteen agarwood beads. The wooden box was made of high-quality materials and finely carved, revealing a noble atmosphere. She gently handed the wooden box to the maid beside her, and walked straight to the queen's couch and sat down. Her movements were natural and smooth, as if she was originally a part of this palace.

Li Qingge smiled at the queen, and her smile was as warm as the spring sunshine, instantly illuminating the queen's heart. "I heard that the queen was not feeling well, and I happened to be free, so I came to see you." Her voice was soft and concerned, which made people feel warm.

The queen looked at Li Qingge, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in her heart. She tried to control her emotions and smiled bitterly: "I am afraid that my sick and haggard appearance will offend the queen." There was a bit of self-mockery and helplessness in her voice.

Li Qingge hurriedly comforted her: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. Everyone has a headache or a fever from time to time. You are a lucky person and you will recover soon." Her words were full of sincerity and care, which made the queen feel warm in her heart.

The queen looked at Li Qingge carefully, and the more she looked, the more she felt that she was a mirror image of herself when she was young. Back then, as a noble lady of the Nara clan, she was also a stunning beauty. It was a pity that she paid too much attention to etiquette and smiled less, and was not as gentle and moving as other concubines, so the emperor loved her less. Now when she saw Li Qingge, she seemed to see the shadow of herself when she was young, and an indescribable sense of intimacy surged in her heart.

The mother and daughter just stared at each other, as if they had a thousand words to say, but didn't know where to start. They didn't speak for a long time, just quietly enjoying this rare tranquility and intimacy.

Finally, the queen broke the silence and asked, "Is there a horseshoe-shaped mark under your left armpit?" Her voice was low and trembling, as if she had been holding this sentence in her heart for a long time.

When Li Qingge heard this, her eyes widened in surprise. She looked at the queen in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe her ears. "You...how did you know..." Her words were full of confusion and shock. This mark was born with her, and its shape, position and color were extremely special. Even her father didn't know about it. How did the queen know?

The queen looked at Li Qingge's reaction and became more certain of her guess. She asked gently, "Can you let me see it?" Her eyes were full of expectation and desire.

Li Qingge looked at Madam Rong, who immediately understood and waved her hand for the palace maids to leave. There were only three of them left in the room, and the atmosphere became a little tense and mysterious. Li Qingge undressed and exposed her shoulders. Sure enough, she saw a purple-blue horseshoe-shaped mark under her armpit. This mark was born with her, and the shape, position and color were exactly the same as the queen's memory. When the queen saw the mark, tears welled up in her eyes. She opened her arms, hugged Li Qingge into her arms, and said with a sob: "My little fifth, mother misses you so much!"

As mother and daughter were naturally attracted to each other, Li Qingge was also very excited. She asked with a trembling voice: "You...you are really my mother? How is this possible?" Her heart was filled with doubts and puzzlement, as if all this was a dream.

The queen hugged her tightly, as if she wanted to integrate her into her bones. "Of course it's true, you are my biological daughter, how could I not recognize you? If you were not my daughter, how could I know this mark?" Her voice was full of determination and affection.

"But...but..." Li Qingge still couldn't believe it. She looked up at the queen, tears flashing in her eyes. All this happened too suddenly, and she was a little unprepared.

The Queen knew Li Qingge's doubts and concerns, and she hurriedly took out the white jade rhino pendant from her bosom. The pendant was crystal clear, emitting a faint light, as if it contained some mysterious power. "Look, this is carved from the top-quality mutton-fat jade that my mother's family brought as a dowry. It should be what you have been looking for with a reward, right?" Her voice was full of expectation and concern.

Li Qingge looked at the pendant, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. She had been looking for this pendant for a long time, and she didn't expect it to be with the queen. She took the pendant and looked at it carefully, as if she wanted to find the answer from it.

"Don't hesitate. If you still don't believe it, we can do a blood test." The queen knew that the king was suspicious, and the queen needed to be more cautious. She was worried that Li Qingge would be impersonated by someone to do something bad, so she proposed a blood test to dispel her doubts. Although this method is not scientific, it was a common way to verify parent-child relationships in ancient times.

Li Qingge thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then let's do a blood test!" Although she still had doubts and concerns in her heart, she believed in the queen and her own intuition. She was willing to use this method to verify her identity and give herself an answer.

So, Rong Mama brought a bowl of water and two silver needles. The Queen and Li Qingge pricked their fingers and dropped a few drops of blood into the water. The blood slowly spread in the water and eventually merged together, as if symbolizing the blood connection between mother and daughter.

Seeing this scene, the Queen and Li Qingge both breathed a sigh of relief. They smiled at each other, as if all their doubts and worries had disappeared at this moment. They hugged each other tightly, enjoying this rare mother-daughter relationship.

From then on, Li Qingge often came to Kunning Palace to accompany the queen. They chatted, admired flowers, and drank tea together, as if they had returned to the happy time many years ago. And with Li Qingge's company, the queen gradually recovered and her face was filled with a happy smile again.

The story of the reunion of mother and daughter became a legend in the Forbidden City and a topic of conversation among people. The deep affection between Li Qingge and the Queen also became a beautiful scenery in the palace. They interpreted the greatness and selflessness of maternal love in their own way, and made people cherish the family affection and happiness around them more.

Phoenix Emperor: Mother and Daughter Reunited

The autumn breeze blew gently, bringing a bit of coolness, passing through the palaces of the Forbidden City and quietly slipping into Kunning Palace. Li Qingge stood in the palace, her elegant palace dress swaying in the wind, like a chrysanthemum in autumn, quietly blooming. She had a delicate face, and her eyebrows revealed an extraordinary temperament, which was the unique charm given to her by time and experience.

When the queen called out "Madame Rong" eagerly, Li Qingge agreed without hesitation and devoted herself to the ceremony of recognition. Her eyes were firm and gentle, as if she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

When Rong Mama heard the Queen's call, she hurried to prepare. Although she was old, she was still agile. After a while, she brought a bowl of water and a shining silver needle. The silver needle shone brightly in the sun, as if it was a bridge connecting the mother and daughter. Mama carefully placed them on a golden and magnificent plate with dragons and phoenixes carved on it. The plate was extremely gorgeous, showing the nobility and glory of the royal family. Then, she gently placed the plate on the small table beside the bed, with gentle and respectful movements.

The queen picked up the silver needle and stabbed her finger without hesitation. A drop of bright red blood instantly fell into the water, like a dazzling ruby, swaying gently in the water. Li Qingge did the same, and her blood drop also fell into the water, echoing the queen's blood drop. The two drops of blood in the water were like two rubies that had been separated for many years, swaying gently and approaching each other, and finally, like relatives who had been reunited after a long separation, they snuggled together tightly, never wanting to separate again. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the entire Kunning Palace was immersed in an indescribable solemnity and warmth.

The two looked at each other, and although they didn't say anything, their eyes were full of excitement and emotion. The queen's eyes were slightly red, as if tears were flashing. She stared at Li Qingge closely, fearing that if she blinked, this hard-earned happiness would disappear. Li Qingge also stared at the queen, and her eyes were full of surprise and doubt, as if she was confirming that all this was true.

Suddenly, the queen exclaimed, "Ah!" Then she hugged Li Qingge tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and choked up and said, "Xiaowu, my Xiaowu is finally back!" Her voice was trembling, full of endless joy and emotion. At this moment, the queen, who was the mother of the country, seemed to have returned to the painful moment of losing her daughter many years ago, and seemed to be in the great joy of regaining her beloved daughter. This complex and profound emotion is difficult to fully express in any language.

Li Qingge was originally calm, and although she already knew the truth, a huge wave surged in her heart at this moment. She felt the queen's embrace, and the warm and familiar feeling made her burst into tears instantly. After a long while, she gently called out: "Mother..." This call seemed to have crossed the barriers of time and space, tightly connecting the mother and daughter. When the queen heard this call, tears fell like beads from a broken string, as if the sky was pleased for their reunion.

At this moment, a child who looked about seven or eight years old suddenly broke into the inner room. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and a small jade crown on his head, looking innocent and cute. He saw his mother hugging and crying with a beautiful woman, and he was so surprised that his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

The Queen and Li Qingge stopped crying and looked at the child. Li Qingge looked at the child's age and his affectionate attitude towards the Queen, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She thought: "This must be the twelfth prince Yongji." She had heard of this child and knew that he was the Queen's treasure. Looking at his innocent appearance, Li Qingge couldn't help but feel distressed, because she knew that the child's fate did not seem to be so smooth.

Yongqi came to ask about his mother's condition because he was worried about her. He walked to the queen, took her hand, and asked with concern: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" The queen stroked his forehead and smiled to comfort him: "Mother is fine, she is just too happy." Her voice was gentle and firm, as if to tell the child that no matter what happened, she would always protect him.

Yongqi was relieved and turned to look at Li Qingge. He widened his eyes and exclaimed: "This sister is so beautiful, why haven't I seen her before?" His voice was crisp and pleasant, full of innocence and curiosity. Rong Mama explained: "This is Her Majesty the Queen of Dayan." Yongqi asked in confusion: "Your Majesty? Is she like the Emperor?" His words revealed his ignorant understanding of imperial power.

The nanny smiled and replied, "The twelfth prince is really smart. Her Majesty is as noble as the emperor." Her words were full of respect and admiration for Li Qingge. Yongqi looked at Li Qingge carefully and said to himself, "The emperor is always very strict, I am a little afraid of him; this sister looks so gentle, how come they are not alike at all?" There was some doubt and confusion in his voice, but more of it was curiosity and love for Li Qingge.

Li Qingge felt a warm current in her heart when she heard Yongqi's words. She looked at this innocent and lovely child, as if she saw her own childhood shadow. She reached out her hand, gently touched Yongqi's head, and smiled: "Twelfth Prince is so good, we can play together in the future." Her voice was gentle and kind, which made Yongqi instantly like her.

The queen was filled with emotion when she saw this scene. She held Li Qingge and Yongqi's hands and said, "Our family is finally reunited. This is the greatest gift God has given us." Her voice was a little choked with sobs and excitement, but more of it was expectation and hope for the future.

At this moment, Kunning Palace was filled with warmth and happiness. The joy of the mother-daughter reunion, the affection between mother and son, and the beautiful vision of the future all turned into an invisible force that closely connected them. In the days to come, no matter how the wind and rain change, they will work together to protect this hard-won happiness and reunion.

The queen frowned and warned sternly: "Don't talk nonsense! If these words are heard by people outside, your father will not let you go easily!"

When Yongqi heard this, he was so scared that his neck shrank and his voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Father is so kind to my fifth brother, but he is so mean to me. Mother, does Father not like me?"

The queen felt distressed, but she still had a gentle smile on her face: "Silly child, it's not like that. You are also the apple of your father's eye. How could he not like you? It's just that you are still young now and don't understand many things. When you grow up, you will understand naturally."

Yongqi nodded, not quite understanding, and turned to look at Li Qingge, trying to ask: "Your Majesty looks so majestic, can I call you beautiful sister?"

"Haha, of course!" Li Qingge agreed with a smile and gently touched Yongqi's head.

The queen smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of doting: "Beautiful sister? You little guy... However, this title is quite interesting."

Li Qingge gently pinched Yongqi's cheeks again and teased him, "You have such a sweet mouth. Sister will give you some candy to make you even sweeter, okay?"

Yongqi shook his head and said seriously, "No, my nanny said that eating too much candy is bad for your teeth, and I'm not a child anymore, so I don't like candy that much."

Li Qingge couldn't help laughing after hearing this, thinking that this child was so innocent and cute, and he showed a little cleverness from time to time.

Li Qingge wanted to tease him again, but Yongqi said seriously: "Mother, it's time to study. I have to go quickly, otherwise the master will tell father, and I will be punished to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" again."

The emperors of the Qing Dynasty were very strict in the education of their children. The princes had to get up before dawn every day to study, and they could only have one day off during the New Year and other festivals.

The empress was worried that Yongqi had angered Qianlong and made the relationship between father and son more tense, so she hurriedly urged him, "Go quickly, be careful on the road, and don't fall."

Yongqi responded and ran out quickly like a little rabbit.

Li Qingge watched his small figure gradually disappear into the distance and said with a smile, "My little brother is so adorable!"

Rong Mama also smiled and said, "Your Majesty's children are naturally handsome and cute."

The mother and daughter continued to talk about what had happened since they separated. When they talked about Li Qingge being sold to a brothel by her uncle, the queen's heart ached as if it was cut by a knife: "My poor child! Jin Aicai, that cruel man, didn't even let his own niece go. How could he have the heart to do this?"

Li Qingge sighed and said helplessly: "All he cares about is money and life. He can even abandon his own sister, let alone me, who has no blood relationship with him."

When Rong Mama heard this, she was furious: "Where is that beast now? Although I don't have any great skills, I still have some ways to torture people. I must avenge the princess!"

"He has already returned to Dayan. When I have time, I will go and deal with him myself and make him suffer." Li Qingge said coldly.

Aunt Rong said regretfully: "What a pity, otherwise I would have made him taste the torture instruments in the dark room of Kunning Palace."

Li Qingge knew that Rong Mama's acupuncture skills were very powerful, and she secretly made up her mind that when she had the chance to go to Dayan in the future, she would let Jin Aicai taste her "top-notch" acupuncture skills.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the carved window lattices, scattering in the gorgeous palace, adding a touch of gentle color to this magnificent space. Li Qingge sits opposite the queen, her face looks particularly resolute in the interweaving of light and shadow, and her deep eyes seem to be able to see through all the vanity in the world. She slowly speaks, her voice is soft but with unquestionable power, and she tells the story of that magnificent past in detail.

"Mother, do you know? At first, I was just an ordinary woman who longed for freedom and did not want to be bound. However, the situation was turbulent, the people were living in poverty, and the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty made me see too many human sufferings. I rebelled, not out of selfish desires, but for the people of this land, so that they could have a peaceful home." Li Qingge's tone was calm, but every word was powerful, and her eyes flashed with a firm belief in the future.

The queen listened, and her heart was filled with indescribable emotions. She looked at her daughter in front of her, and her face had both the tenderness of childhood and a bit of maturity and fortitude. She remembered that when Li Qingge was a child, she always loved to pester her to tell stories. At that time, she was so innocent. Now, her daughter has grown into a queen who can stand on her own. This transformation makes her both proud and distressed.

"I built up Da Yan step by step, and each step was full of hardships and challenges. But I did not back down, because I knew that only a strong country can protect its people from being bullied." Li Qingge's words revealed an unquestionable determination, and her eyes sparkled with infinite longing for the future.

After hearing this, the queen was so excited that she couldn't calm down for a long time. She was surprised at the extraordinary talent Li Qingge showed, which was far beyond her imagination. She held Li Qingge's hand tightly, her eyes slightly red, and her voice choked with sobs: "My child, you have suffered."

The rise of Da Yan was like a bright star, illuminating the dark night sky and shaking the entire Qing Dynasty. Although the queen was in the deep palace, she also vaguely heard the news outside. Those rumors about Li Qingge were like poisonous arrows, shooting into her heart one by one, making her feel miserable. She had prayed silently for her daughter countless times in the dead of night, hoping that she would be safe.

"Mother, I know you are worried about me, but please believe that everything I do is for justice and peace. Those rumors are just means used by my enemies to attack me." Li Qingge's voice was gentle but firm. She patted the queen's hand gently, trying to calm her inner turmoil.

The queen nodded, tears in her eyes: "I know, I have always known. But this world is too dangerous, I am afraid that you will fall into an irretrievable situation if you are not careful."

At this moment, birds were singing outside the palace, as if they were also singing for the reunion of the mother and daughter. The queen was filled with gratitude to God for allowing her to reunite with her daughter and enjoy the joy of family life again. She asked Rong Mama to get some cakes, wanting to spend this rare time with her daughter.

Soon, plates of exquisite cakes were placed in front of them: fragrant osmanthus cakes, attractive pea yellow cakes, delicate kidney bean rolls, unique almond Buddha's hands, and crystal clear flower-shaped longan. Each one was a delicacy in the palace, exuding an alluring aroma.
