Sister, you traveled through time too?

Tang Zhao left Xiaoyu's princess mansion and returned to the palace when it was already late at night.

"Father~"

As soon as I got off the carriage at the palace gate, I heard a sweet call.

The corners of Tang Zhao's mouth rose slightly, and her pace unconsciously quickened.

At the palace gate, Jiang Dehai was waiting with little Baiyun in his arms.

The little white cloud was wearing a red cloak, waving its little hands at itself with sparkling eyes, smiling very sweetly.

"Why don't you take the princess back to the palace to wait? It's windy here, don't catch a cold."

Tang Zhao took Bai Yun from Jiang Dehai's arms, held her up steadily, and then spoke to Jiang Dehai.

"Your Majesty, the princess is very filial and misses you very much. She will wait for you to come back here no matter what."

Jiang Dehai said this with a smile. He followed behind Tang Zhao and looked at the father and daughter having fun together. He was happy from the bottom of his heart.

The emperor loves to laugh more and more now.

"Father, Queen Mother has given me a very thick cape to wear. I won't catch a cold."

Bai Yun smiled and said in Tang Zhao's arms,

Her little hands restlessly pinched the tassels on Tang Zhao's head.

"You should also be careful not to catch a cold, dear."

Tang Zhao coaxed Bai Yun gently, carried her on his shoulders and sat her down, making Bai Yun giggle.

"What delicious food did your mother prepare in the palace today?"

After hearing this, Bai Yun thought that her father wanted to go to her mother's palace to eat for free, hahaha.

"There are so many delicious foods. Father, go and see them yourself. How can I remember them all?"

Bai Yun said with a smile.

Jiang Dehai's smile never dropped. He looked at the warmth in front of him and followed silently.

Tang Zhao always had a smile on her face, but there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes.

But this fleeting emotion did not escape Baiyun's eyes.

She didn't understand what was wrong with her father, but tactfully did not mention her mother again, and instead started talking about the interesting things that happened today.

Tang Zhao listened attentively, acting as a qualified listener.

He didn't want to be a spoiler father from the bottom of his heart, so he always agreed gently.

Baiyun is now plump and white and very cute, all thanks to Haiwan.

Hai Wan had not had a child for many years, and actually treated Bai Yun as her own daughter.

Tang Zhao always knew that Hai Wan was a very good woman.

But the more he knew, the more uncomfortable he felt.

When Hai Xin dies and the Hai family is defeated, what should she do?

Without Hai Xin and the Hai family, she would have no strong family or support. How could a kind person like her survive in the harem?

Now that the Hai family is powerful and Hai Wan is highly respected, everyone in the palace has to respect Hai Wan and give her enough respect.

But what will happen after that? What will the situation be like?

Tang Zhao didn't know and didn't dare to think about it too much.

Hai Yi had to be eliminated, and the Hai family could not be allowed to stay. Even if Hai Wan knew nothing about it, he would still be implicated.

In this era, concubines and their mother's families rise and fall together. Hai Wan is destined to be helpless and her end will certainly not be good.

Even though Tang Zhao had no love for Hai Wan, they were still friends.

Hai Wan was a very good girl, and Tang Zhao couldn't bear to see her end up like that.

I’m afraid Hai Wan can’t even keep the position of queen.

But will she hate herself?

Would she hate herself for killing her brother and destroying her family?

Tang Zhao didn't need to think about it, she would definitely hate it.

By then, even if I wanted to protect her, would she really accept it?

Tang Zhao was deeply distressed about Hai Wan.

Before he knew it, he had arrived outside the Jingren Palace in Haiwan with Baiyun in his arms.

When the palace servants outside the courtyard saw Tang Zhao coming, they hurriedly reported loudly,

Only after hearing this report did Tang Zhao come back to his senses.

Bai Yun clearly sensed the sadness in Tang Zhao's heart while he was in his arms.

Why is my father sad?

Bai Yun couldn't figure it out, but he knew that he shouldn't disturb the reunion between his father and mother at this moment.

"Father, I am so sleepy~"

Bai Yun pretended that she couldn't open her eyes and spoke. She lay in Tang Zhao's arms and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Jiang Dehai, take the princess back to rest first."

"Xiao Baiyun, father will take you to eat hot pot tomorrow."

Tang Zhao suppressed the worries in his heart, smiled gently, and touched Bai Yun's nose.

Only when Bai Yun was taken away by Jiang Dehai did he show signs of fatigue and worry.

"The emperor is here, I pay my respects to him."

Hai Wan came slowly from the courtyard to greet them. She was quiet and dignified, with a pair of watery eyes full of smiles.

Tang Zhao just looked at her in fascination.

Ever since I told her not to act so pretentiously that day, she really wasn't so deliberate when she saw me.

Hai Wan was only wearing a simple goose yellow dress with a long moon-white shawl on the outside, which made her look particularly soft and beautiful.

She is beautiful even without makeup.

"Why bother coming out to greet them? It's so cold outside."

As Tang Zhao spoke, she looked at Hai Wan with a feeling of pity.

"When the emperor comes, I will always welcome him."

She just spoke warmly and then smiled innocently.

Tang Zhao felt even more bitter as she watched her talk about what delicious food she had made today.

He followed Hai Wan back into the house in silence, looking at the table full of delicious food and wine, but he had no appetite at all.

Hai Wan's ink-black hair was not decorated with a pearl hairpin, but was just gently tied up, which looked very beautiful.

For a moment, Tang Zhao wondered how nice it would be if she were not the queen.

If she were just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family, she would surely be much happier than being trapped in the deep palace.

She is so good, everything she wants should be fulfilled.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

Hai Wan looked at Tang Zhao with a smile, and seeing that he was in a daze, she waved her hand and asked sweetly.

"It doesn't matter."

Tang Zhao smiled quickly, only then he realized that his bowl was already full of vegetables.

It turned out that while he was in a daze, she had been chattering and picking food for him.

It was great. At that moment, he and Hai Wan felt like a couple from many ordinary families.

Hai Wan is no longer as cautious and timid as she was at the beginning.

She also began to dare to gossip with herself, chat with herself, eat with herself, and laugh with herself.

These people are one of the few in this deep palace who dare to get along with me.

"Will you hate me, Xiao Wan?"

Tang Zhao just stared into Hai Wan's eyes and asked in a mysterious way.

Hai Wan was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of confusion. She smiled and shook her head.

"Why should I hate the Emperor?"

"Your Majesty is really good to me, and he is also a very good person. No matter what, I will never hate him."

Hai Wan said gently.

She thought, could it be that the emperor has a beloved woman? Will he never be able to eat with her again?

So the emperor was afraid that he would be jealous, sad, and hate him?

"Hahahaha, I'm just teasing you."

Tang Zhao said with a smile, stretched out her hand to pinch Hai Wan's face, and said half-jokingly:

"Oh, if I were not the emperor, I would be a carefree and idle wealthy businessman, traveling around."

"Xiao Wan, if you weren't going to be the queen, what would you want to do?"

Tang Zhao asked with a smile, with guidance and expectation.

Hai Wan was stunned for a moment, and thought for a long time before saying:

"As for me, I don't seem to have any great wishes."

"Even if I am not the queen, my fate is never my own."

After hearing this, Tang Zhao immediately looked at Hai Wan's expression.

Hai Wan's expression was the same as usual, as if she was not sad at all.

But this made Tang Zhao feel even more sad.

Because she didn't even think there was anything wrong with it, she was used to it.

I've gotten used to this kind of life where I have no control over my life and my fate.

"I don't want to think about my family, I don't want to think about anything."

"If you were just you, what would you most like to do?"

"Assume that no one can control you, you just need to be yourself, where do you want to go? What do you want to do?"

Hai Wan sat there in a daze for a long, long time, so long that the food in Tang Zhao's bowl had gone cold.

After a long time, I heard Hai Wan's eyes full of longing, but she said in a very low voice:

"If that's the case, I just want to wander around the world."

"hey-hey."

"When I was a child, I often secretly read my brother's books. His books were different from mine, and I didn't like my books."

"My book is full of rules, but my brother's book has a lot of interesting things."

"I want to see the desert grasslands, mountains and Gobi described in the books.

I want to see the rivers and lakes in the books and experience the passionate life of revenge and revenge. "

"Hahaha, the emperor won't laugh at me, will he?"

After hearing this, Tang Zhao's eyes were filled with a strange light, and he felt that Hai Wan was shining in his eyes.

This timid woman seemed to have a heart far more beautiful than he had imagined.

"How could I laugh at you? This is very good, Xiao Wan."

“It’s really nice.”
