C263 The Crown Prince returns to the palace

"Esteemed Empress, His Highness the Crown Prince has returned!" Gui mama respectfully stood at the side and reported to her, but he couldn't conceal the joy in his eyes.

"Chen Er is back?" Hearing her words, Xiao Shushen's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and the brilliance in her eyes, was practically brighter than a candle's light.

Two years ago, for some reason, Fu Yuheng, despite the objections of the crowd, sent her son, the current crown prince, out of the palace to train. At that time, he was only a four year old child, yet he left her just like that. However, it was the emperor's decision after all. Even if she had any more objections, she could only comply. Now that he had finally returned, naturally, she was extremely happy and wanted to cry.

"This son greets mother empress." Her sword-like eyebrows and pair of phoenix eyes were eighty percent the same as Fu Yuheng's. However, those thin lips were exactly like Xiao Shushen's, making him seem slightly cold.

"Come, my Chen Er, come quickly and show it to Imperial Mother. After not seeing his for two years, Chen Er has grown a lot taller." He tightly held onto his shoulders, as if she was afraid that he would disappear right in front of her eyes.

In the end, Fu Mo Chen was only a six year old child. Tears soon appeared in his eyes, but he endured the pain and did not let them fall.

"Chen Er has grown up, but he's become much stronger than before." He took a few more glances and pulled him into his arms.

When they saw each other again, even the palace maids began to shed tears.

"Your Highness, the Emperor is calling you over." At this time, a small palace maid walked in. This was the personal palace maid that Fu Yuheng had sent her. She had been following him for the past two years.

"Go." Xiao Shushen tidied up the clothes on his body and watched him leave.

"Esteemed Empress, His Highness the crown prince has returned. Do you want to …" Gui mama glanced at the direction Fu Mo Chen left in and suggested a suggestion.

Xiao Shushen wiped away a few tears from the corner of her eyes and returned to her usual self.

"Let's talk about this in a few days!" Chen Er has just returned, so as his mother, I still have to get closer to him for a period of time. " A sincere smile appeared on her face. She was afraid that she would only let down her guard when facing him.

Gui mama watched on from the side and shook his head. It could be said that his highness the crown prince was the empress's biggest weakness.

"How have you been these past two years?" Fu Yuheng sat on the dragon throne and looked down at Fu Mochen.

"Not good." The little girl raised her head. There was a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes. After throwing him into the desolate mountain forest, although he had learned a lot from the instructor in the past two years, he had been separated from his mother for two whole years.

He pursed his lips unwillingly, but the person sitting on the platform had seen everything clearly. He silently shook his head in his heart.

Moreover, he was protected extremely well by Xiao Shushen in the palace. Adding to the fact that up to now, this imperial harem only had this prince and there was no competition at all. Furthermore, he didn't feel the slightest sense of crisis in his heart.

"You should be more sensible now." She opened her mouth and stared at him, lost in thought.

This child's appearance was similar to his, but this sort of character still required a long period of training. If he stayed in the Imperial Palace for a long period of time, with his and Xiao Shushen's protection, he would probably become more and more spoiled. This was also the reason why he threw him out to train for two years. But it was obvious that he didn't understand.

"Yes." Lowering his head, Fu Mo Chen's answer was somewhat forced. Although he was somewhat unwilling, after all, he had studied for two years, so his etiquette was not the least bit lacking. Compared to ordinary adults, it was not inferior in the slightest.

"You just came back, so you should take a good rest!" Xia Keke picked up the paper in front of her and didn't give him a look.

"Yes, your son shall take his leave." He saluted again and left.

In June, the lotus blossomed again. Shen Qingwan sat in the pavilion beside the pond and played the zither, but Wu Ling wasn't there today. When Prime Minister Liu was beheaded a few days ago, it was also discovered that Wu Shang Shu framed the incident back then. Thus, Fu Yuheng acquitted Wu Shang Shu of his crimes and released her brother from prison. Therefore, he had been accompanying him for the past few days.

"Eh? When did this palace have a prince? " Just as he was about to become excited, he suddenly heard Lian Yun's surprised shout from the side. An accident occurred in her finger technique, and a "Zheng" sound suddenly reverberated in the air.

Only then did Lian Yun suddenly realize that she had misspoken, and immediately covered her mouth, as she looked at her with a fawning expression.

Shen Qing Wan was a little helpless, but she could not do anything to her, so she could only sigh. Then, he thought of what she had just said and felt a little curious. "You were talking about the prince?" She really hadn't seen any prince around the palace. Previously, she had been feeling weird, but she hadn't asked him about it.

Following Lian Yun's line of sight, she just happened to see Fu Mo Chen throwing a stone into the pond. His small face was filled with displeasure.

Just then, Xiao Shushen walked over and pulled him away. When he saw the two of them, she smiled at her.

Shen Qingwan frowned. From the looks of it, she was the one who sent this prince, he should be the crown prince. It was just that for some reason, no one had mentioned it before.

"Lian Yun, go and call Eunuch Chen over. Tell him that I have something to ask him." There was no point in thinking any further. He might as well find someone to ask.

Not long after, Chen An arrived in front of her. He knew that she was the favorite concubine of the Emperor, but he was still a little scared. Compared to Sun Ning, she was much weaker. However, the more such a person was, the easier it was for him to ask that question.

Indeed, under her questioning, she finally asked about the identity of that prince just now — — Fu Mochen, the only prince in the palace.

However, when he heard that Fu Yuheng had sent him out for two years, he also felt that it was somewhat strange. However, after asking about the reason, Chen An merely shook his head.

Since she had already asked enough, she didn't continue to pester him and asked him to go back and serve Fu Yuheng.

Xiao Yan paced around the pavilion for a long time. However, he was unable to find anything. He felt somewhat vexed.

"My beloved concubine, what is it that makes you so preoccupied?" Fu Yuheng saw her pacing here from afar, so he came over to ask.

But when he heard her question, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She had been in the palace for a long time, but she still didn't know that there was a crown prince in the palace. It was truly strange.

"Presumably, my beloved concubine has been busy these past few years searching through Zhen's books, right?" With a faint smile, he explained everything to her.
