The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

"I want to see my father." Li Minghua stood up suddenly and stared at Shen Tianjiao with wide eyes. His imposing look was exactly the same as Shen Tianjiao.

"Why? My words have no effect on the Second Prince?" Seeing the same expression on Li Minghua and Li Rui's face, Shen Tianjiao showed her disgust without hiding it.

"If the Second Prince is dissatisfied, he may go to the Emperor, but he must wait until you have completed your punishment."

"Why?" The spoiled little bully has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, nor does he know how dangerous his current situation is.

"Why? Humph!" Shen Tianjiao sneered and said word by word, "Because I am your father's legal wife, married with three matchmakers and six betrothals. I was the only Empress carried into the palace through the Noon Gate when your father ascended the throne."

"A wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine. Even if I die before your father for some reason, I will still be your father's first wife. This is a fact that can never be changed."

"Since your brother has been fostered under my name, he is my legitimate son. Although your mother is a noble concubine, you can only be a bastard. Today, you have committed insubordination and behaved improperly, humiliating your legitimate mother and bullying your legitimate brother. For someone with such poor moral character, it is not impossible to expel you from the palace and demote you to a commoner."

After Shen Tianjiao finished speaking, she took Li Muyang's hand, turned around and walked away domineeringly, completely ignoring the pleading and crying of the people behind her.

Li Muyang timidly glanced at Shen Tianjiao and wanted to speak but didn't dare.

Shen Tianjiao glanced at the little kid beside her, feeling both sour and warm in her heart.

In her previous life, she was poisoned by Li Heng, so she never had her own children until her death. The real Shen Tianjiao also never had her own children until her death for the same reason.

If she were to live her life over again, she would naturally not have any romantic entanglement with Li Rui again.

Being a mother was a completely new experience for her.

"Just say whatever you want to say. It's so uncomfortable to keep things in your heart." Shen Tianjiao reached out and touched Li Muyang's head. The furry touch made her heart soften.

"Empress, can you please keep Thirteen here? He treats me very well." Li Muyang lowered his head and spoke in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible, as if he had done something wrong.

"Call me mother." The little guy beside her was so soft and sweet, which aroused Shen Tianjiao's maternal heart.

Li Muyang suddenly looked up at Shen Tianjiao, hesitated for a long time, and then gently called out, "Mother."

"Okay, okay. I'll leave Thirteen here to continue serving you." Shen Tianjiao, who was in a good mood, immediately agreed to Li Muyang's request.

"Is it really possible?" Li Muyang's eyes lit up. "Mother, can Thirteen really avoid being punished and continue to stay by my side?"

"Yes, mother agreed." Seeing Li Muyang so happy because a small request was met, Shen Tianjiao felt guilty again.

"You can tell me anything you want from now on. I am your mother and you are my son. There is no need for formalities between mother and son."

"Yes." Li Muyang nodded and stopped. He carefully grabbed Shen Tianjiao's sleeve and asked with a slightly nervous and trembling voice, "Then mother, can you hug me?"

Shen Tianjiao was stunned. She squatted down and looked at Li Muyang. All kinds of complicated emotions suddenly surged into her heart.

The child in front of her should have had a beautiful and brilliant life, but because of the cowardice of his original body, he suffered unfair treatment all the time. Finally, after the death of his original body, he unfortunately fell into the water and drowned, losing his life at a young age.

They say he drowned, but that's just an excuse some people make to cover up their despicable behavior.

This poor, young and unprotected child must be lonely and insecure deep down in his heart, and he longs for his love.

Shen Tianjiao suddenly felt a little resentful towards her original self. She clearly had a good hand, but she was obsessed with love and was willing to die for a man, and she couldn't even protect a child.

But fortunately, she is here now, and everything is still in time. She wants to fight for herself and the child in front of her. She wants to defy fate and educate the child well. She wants to personally send him to the throne of the emperor and make him a wise ruler.

"Mother, is it not possible?" Li Muyang felt so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

Shen Tianjiao didn't say anything, and directly hugged Li Muyang in her arms, "My Mu'er will definitely grow up well."
