The second prince's concubine was grateful and kowtowed repeatedly to thank her: "Thank you, my mother. Please rest assured, my daughter-in-law will definitely take good care of Brother Heng."

Empress Pei was quite tired and had no strength to speak anymore. She nodded and closed her eyes.

The second prince's concubine stood up, wiped her tears with her hands, left the dormitory, and said to the palace maid outside the door: "Where is Brother Heng?"

The palace maid responded respectfully: "Please come with my wife."

We will soon see Brother Heng.

The second prince's concubine could hardly suppress her excitement and her pace became faster and faster.

When she left, Brother Heng was less than two years old. Her son was the mother's heart. It was as painful as breaking up her bones. Over the past year, she often shed tears in the middle of the night and miss Brother Heng.

Now, the mother and son have finally been able to meet again. From today on, she will be with Heng Ge'er every day, and the mother and son will never be separated again.

"Madam," a clear boy's voice came from afar: "I want to go to the garden to play."

The sound came into my ears, and the second prince's concubine burst into tears.

The nanny in charge coaxed the boy in a nice voice: "Brother Heng, be good, your grandfather and grandmother are recuperating. Don't run around."

The boy was a little depressed, but nodded obediently.

This boy is three years old this year and is fair and handsome, with his bright black and white eyes that are particularly clear. It is Heng Ge'er.

During this period, there have been many changes in the palace. No one cares about Brother Heng. Fortunately, the nanny and palace maids around Brother Heng were specially selected by Empress Pei, and they were taken care of carefully and thoroughly.

Brother Heng relied on the nanny very much on raising her. He reached out and pulled the nanny's lantern. Just as he was about to speak, a slender woman suddenly appeared in front of him.

Brother Heng was stunned and looked up.

The woman's eyes were filled with water and she shouted softly: "Brother Heng!"

Her face was a little familiar, and her voice seemed very familiar.

Brother Heng asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

The short three words made the woman burst into tears. She took two steps forward, squatted down, and hugged Heng Ge'er tightly into her arms: "Brother Heng, I am your biological mother!"

The nanny and the palace maids knelt on the ground: "I have met the second prince's concubine."

Brother Heng was still a little confused.

When his mother left, he was too young and didn't remember anything at all. At first, he often cried because of his mother's departure. Over time, he got used to life in the Jiaofang Hall and forgot his own mother.

"Brother Heng," the second prince's concubine choked: "It's not good for me, I shouldn't leave you like this. From now on, I will never leave you by my side again."

The warm embrace and familiar atmosphere finally evoked the memories hidden deep in Heng Ge'er's heart.

"Mom," Brother Heng shouted, and then started crying in a low voice: "Mom, why have you been gone for so long? I have forgotten what you look like..."

The second prince's concubine hugged her son and cried fiercely.

...

An hour later, the second prince's concubine took Heng Ge'er away from the palace and returned to the second prince's mansion.

Brother Heng lived in the palace for more than a year and had a lot of clothes and food. The nanny and several palace maids were cleaning up, and it would take at least half a day. The second prince's concubine simply brought her son back first.

Blood is thicker than water, and mother and son are connected to each other.

Brother Heng was a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but soon became attached to his mother's arms, snuggled in the arms of the second prince's concubine and whispered.

"Mom, why did you have to walk for so long?" Heng Ge'er asked in a low voice.

The second prince's concubine's eyes were red and swollen, but her expression was filled with joy: "I won't go anywhere from now on."

Brother Heng didn't ask the truth and responded with satisfaction.

The second prince's concubine asked about Heng Ge'er's life for more than a year: "Heng Ge'er, are you used to living in the Jiaofang Hall?"

Brother Heng nodded and held his little finger: "The emperor's grandmother is very good to me, and Empress Yu also likes me. Uncle Six often brings me some delicious and fun things. I also like Doctor Cheng. She looks good, speaks nicely, and treats me very well."

Brother Heng is only three years old, but he is smart and speaks in a very organized manner.

Without asking, I also know that he has lived a good life in the palace.

The second prince's concubine was filled with gratitude: "That's good."

Brother Heng suddenly asked, "Mom, where is the father?"

The second prince's concubine felt nervous.

No matter how bad the second prince is, he is also Heng Ge'er's biological father. It is normal for Heng Ge'er to ask about his biological father. However, the second prince now cannot be seen by Heng Ge'er at all.

"Brother Heng, do you like your father?" The second prince's concubine asked replies without answering.

Heng Ge'er's answer was unexpected: "I don't like it." Then, he leaned into the second prince's ear and whispered: "The father always asked me to please the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother, I don't like him."

The second prince's concubine was mixed with feelings and said in a low voice: "My mom told you quietly that she doesn't like your father. From now on, we, mother and son, live together, and we don't want your father anymore, okay?"

Brother Heng nodded quickly.

The mother and son agreed to a hook, and then looked at each other and smiled.

...

It was getting dark.

The palace lanterns under the eaves of the corridor were lit up, driving away the darkness.

Beauty Yu served Empress Pei to drink medicine. Empress Pei was used to the bitterness of the soup. She drank a bowl and only frowned slightly. Beauty Yu brought sweet candied fruit: "The soup is bitter, let's take a bite of candied fruit!"

The candied fruit has a little sourness in its sweetness, and the astringent feeling in its mouth quickly turns into sweetness.

"As soon as Brother Heng left, the palace became even more deserted." Empress Pei had some strength and started chatting with Mei Meiren.

Beauty Yu smiled and said, "When will the Empress miss Heng Ge'er? Let the Second Prince's Consort lead Heng Ge'er to the palace to pay tribute. The Empress is weak and has to be recuperated for at least a year or two, and has no energy to take care of the children. The Second Prince's Consort is back just in time."

Empress Pei nodded, thinking about Cheng Jinrong.

I don’t know who the two children are more like. Not to mention He Qi, his appearance is first-class, and Jinrong is also a beauty. The two children must be handsome...

Beauty Yu is accustomed to guessing Queen Pei’s thoughts, and at this time he happened to talk about Cheng Jinrong: “I heard that Dr. Cheng has a pair of twins. Both his father and mother have good children, so the child must have good looks.”

Empress Pei loves to hear these words.

Empress Pei smiled between her eyebrows and eyes.

Mei Meiren smiled again and said, "General He only stayed in the mansion for three days and went to the palace to work as a servant yesterday. If the Empress was thinking about Doctor Cheng, why not summon General He to come and ask the previous question?"

Queen Pei was immediately moved.

It was a coincidence that at this moment, the palace maid came to report that the Sixth Prince was here.

When the sixth prince came, He Qi, who was the commander of the guards of the East Palace, would naturally come with him.
