The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

"I have met the emperor."

Pei Huan was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Li Gan held him back and said repeatedly:

"We are uncle and nephew, so why should we be so polite?"

He looked him up and down again and sighed, "Good boy! In two years, your head should catch up with me and your father. It seems that the climate and soil of the south are really nourishing!"

He had long heard of the delightful scenery of the south and had longed to visit. However, as a prince, he was bound by his status and could not leave Shengjing. Now, as the emperor, he was bound by the high walls and could not even leave the palace.

The words "uncle and nephew" made the empress dowager smile happily.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right! Brother Huan, upon ascending the throne, the Emperor exonerated your father and announced it to the world. Now, are you still willing to address me as the Imperial Grandmother?"

The Queen Mother felt uneasy when she said this.

When Emperor Jingde was alive, Huan Ge'er had already refused to call him the Emperor's grandfather, and even refused to change his name.

However, at that time, Emperor Jingde also refused to admit his mistakes and never mentioned overturning the verdict on the eldest prince. It was understandable that Huan Ge'er returned the favor and ignored this cruel and heartless grandfather.

That's different now.

Not only the Queen Mother, but Li Gan also looked at Huan Ge'er eagerly.

If it weren't for the purpose of overturning the verdict for his elder brother and protecting Huan Ge'er, he would not have embarked on the path of seizing the throne.

Along the way, he was pushed forward. Although he lost a lot, he never regretted it.

At this moment, he wanted to hear Huan Ge'er call him Imperial Uncle.

Just like before, he followed Li Qian happily and called him "Big Brother".

Su Li's heart was also in a knot.

Emotionally, she always treated Huan Ge'er as her own son and never thought that she would lose him one day.

But rationally speaking, she has no right to prevent her closest relatives from recognizing each other.

At the beginning, she had promised Huan Ge'er that everything would be decided by him.

In the bedroom, everyone looked at Pei Huan with their own thoughts.

Pei Huan also felt mixed emotions.

In his previous life, everyone thought he was the illegitimate son of Pei Heng and his concubine. After Pei Heng's death, no one knew the secret of his life experience.

He carried this secret alone, planned everything in secret, and suffered untold pain and torture.

In this life, he not only has the Duke's Mansion as his home, but also has his closest relatives waiting for him to return to his roots.

This feeling is really...

It’s so cold!

It’s so flooded!

"If it's difficult, that's fine."

Li Gan felt a little disappointed when he saw that Pei Huan had not moved.

The Queen Mother also tried to smooth things over awkwardly, "Forget it, take your time, there's no need to rush. It's me who's anxious."

Su Li also said:

"Brother Huan, your mother and father have told you that this matter is entirely up to you. No matter what decision you make, we respect you."

Hearing this, Pei Huan shook his robe, stood in the hall and saluted gracefully, then called out to the Queen Mother:

"Royal Grandmother."

Then he turned to Li Gan and called out, "Uncle Emperor."

The Queen Mother and Li Gan were both stunned, then they smiled happily and agreed.

The Queen Mother was even more excited and told Li Gan, "Excellent, Your Majesty! Please ask the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day to officially write Ji'er into the imperial family's imperial register."

"My son knows."

Li Gan excitedly pulled Huan Ge'er and was very happy again. He had waited too long for the title of imperial uncle.

Logically, Su Li should be happy for the family to be reunited, but for some reason, she felt a heavy weight in her heart.

So much so that on the way out of the palace, she was a little absent-minded when Pei Huan talked to her.

"Mother?"

Pei Huan called out again tentatively, and Su Li finally came back to her senses.

"What?" she asked, concentrating her attention.

Pei Huan looked at her somewhat gloomy face and said guiltily:

"Is mother unhappy?"

"How could that be?" Su Li forced a smile. "I'm sincerely happy that you can regain your identity. I was just thinking that you're leaving again after just coming back, and I'm a little reluctant to let you go."

The Empress Dowager was so happy that she immediately discussed it with the Emperor and decided to let Huan Ge'er live in the palace. How could one let his own child live in someone else's house every day? At this moment, the palace next to the Empress Dowager had already begun cleaning and repairing.

Su Li couldn't help feeling sad when she thought about the son she had raised with great effort, but now he had become someone else's in the blink of an eye.

What made her even more uncomfortable was Huan Ge'er's attitude.

She could still vividly remember the scene where Huan Ge'er knelt in front of her and Pei Heng, refusing to recognize his ancestral roots.

How come he changed after going out?

How abnormal!

"Don't worry, mother. The palace will take some time to repair, and I'm not moving out tomorrow. Besides, even if I do move out, I'll come back often."

It was rare for Pei Huan to speak at such length.

"Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. It's just a matter of a day sooner or later. Mother is being selfish. She should be happy for you."

Su Li returned home depressed.

Pei Heng sensed something was wrong at first sight and asked hurriedly. After listening to Su Li, Pei Heng also became a little confused.

"Brother Huan is indeed a little strange."

"Really? You think so too?" Su Li jumped up immediately when she heard Pei Heng say that.

In the morning, she felt something was wrong, and Pei Heng laughed at her. Now, even Pei Heng felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be because of Pei Le?"

Pei Heng couldn't help but guess.

"In the past, we only had Huan'er and Xi'er, and everything we had in the future belonged to them. But now that Pei Le is here, Huan'er won't think we don't love him anymore, right? That's why we have to plan a way out for ourselves."

"But I never thought of favoring one over the other!"

Pei Heng repeatedly denied that he was biased.

In fact, he would not be partial.

Moreover, he believed that A-Li would not be partial.

"This child is so deep-minded that it's really heartbreaking. If that's really the case, then he's overthinking it. I'm afraid it's not that simple..."

"Tomorrow, you should explore him carefully."

There's a saying that goes, "No one knows a child better than his mother." Although Huan Ge'er disguised himself well, some of the details he revealed still made Su Li suspicious.

"it is good!"

Pei Heng decided to have a frank conversation with his son, just like a man.

On the other hand, Pei Huan also had his own plans.

Before he came back, he always suspected that Su Li had ill intentions, and that her deep affection for her father and her love for Huan Ge'er and Xi Jie'er were all fake.

However, through his observation over the past two days, he did not notice Su Li's hypocrisy. Instead, he felt a little breathless because of Su Li's enthusiasm and love.

When he promised the Queen Mother and the Emperor today, Su Li was smiling, but that smile was uglier than crying.

It was like his son was really snatched away.

He has solved countless cases in the Dali Temple, and no one can escape his eyes.

Therefore, Su Li's feelings for him are real.

Could it be that all my previous guesses about Su Li were wrong?

She wasn't reborn like herself?

Otherwise, how could she be so happy and peaceful now with those cruel and tragic memories?

Maybe I should test her more directly?
