Chapter 21 Mother and Son Recognition
After the banquet, An Nuanzhi was surrounded by the palace maids and sent back to Fengli Palace. This is an extremely gorgeous palace with carved dragons and painted walls. It is made of gold foil as wallpaper, noble white jade as pillows and beds, and the ground is also covered with jade bricks, which are low-key and gorgeous.
As soon as he entered, An Nuanzhi was stunned. Luxury has always been the peak representative of power and a symbol of dignity.
"Do you like it?" A cold and deep voice sounded behind An Nuanzhi's back, and Lan Nian'an stood behind him with his hands behind his back.
Ordinary women will faint excitedly when they see such a gorgeous and noble palace, while An Nuanzhi will see it very lightly because she has wealth that is as rich as a country.
She tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "It's okay. It's sloppy."
Lan Nian'an's eyes became deeper little by little. He snapped his fingers lightly, and saw palace maids entering one after another. An exquisite black jade tray was brought up, covered with a soft cloth of silk in the sky. When the soft cloth was uncovered, he saw gold flowing, and the things on it made people's eyes unable to open.
"This is a golden phoenix crown prepared for you, with a thousand precious tourmalines on it. It took a year to complete it. Today it was finally completed." Lan Nian'an said, pointing to the thing.
Tourmaline is a colorful gem, with the color of a rainbow and the crystalline crystal, which is heart-warming and priceless. A small piece of solid tourmaline in Anguo can be sold for hundreds of taels, let alone a golden crown with a total of 1,000 tourmalines? The price should be even more immeasurable...
"Oh." An Nuanzhi's expression did not fluctuate, but she felt a little moved. It was not because this item was very expensive, but because of the tone between Lan Nian'an's words, his tone was filled with a cherished and peaceful attitude, which shows that this gift was exhausted.
"Bang"
However, Lan Nian'an picked up the tourmaline, and the golden phoenix crown fell to the ground. A thousand tourmalines on it were shaken down. The tourmalines that emitted wonderful light were scattered under his feet, like a rainbow that was smashed.
"But I have changed my mind now." Lan Nianan smiled strangely, and he patted his hands gently, his eyes coldly.
"You don't deserve such a delicate gift."
An Nuanzhi's heart seemed to be pressed against a big stone, looking at the messy ground, she could almost breathe. Could it be that Lan Nian'an was still holding grudges? She had deceived him for three years, and she did not fulfill her responsibilities as a wife and mother... But she didn't want to, and she didn't want to. Why didn't he listen to her explanation carefully?
The mood gradually descended to the bottom of the valley, An Nuanzhi was silent, and the silence in the hall was as dead as death.
Lan Nianan suddenly smiled coldly. He approached her and raised her chin. He was wearing a dazzling and respectful dragon robe so that she couldn't open her eyes.
"Queen, are you very sad now? But for three years, I have been even sadder than you, and I even want to kill you." His voice was always cold, even more indifferent.
An Nuanori stared at his eyes without hesitation, "Kill it, it's my three years that I owe you and the little cake."
Lan Nian'an was stunned for a moment. His hand that lifted her chin froze. Then he burst out with a very gentle smile. Only An Nuanori knew that there was extreme danger hidden in this extreme tenderness.
"Stop dreaming, it's not that easy." Lan Nianan put away his smile and pointed to the fragments scattered on the ground.
"From the moment this golden phoenix crown landed, I announced that we will start again."
"What does it mean?" An Nuanzhi's expression trembled, because she found that Lan Nian'an's tone had obviously eased a lot. Could it be that he had a little change of mind?
Just as he was thinking, Lan Nian'an's cold hands slid down the outline of An Nuanzhi's cheeks. He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something, but he said after a long time.
"I admit that your performance today has amazed me, and you are still very useful, so I want to give you a chance."
Chance?
An Nuanori was still puzzled, but she could clearly hear the looseness in his voice, so he decided to forgive her?
"I will restore your queen's rights and let you live in Fengli Palace, but there is a condition that within five years, if Xiaocai is not named the crown prince, you will be executed with him. So, unless you have the ability to make the ministers unanimously support Xiaocai as the crown prince, otherwise, the fate of you, mother and son..." Lan Nianan looked at An Nuanzhi coldly.
When Xiaocai mentioned, An Nuanzhi felt a little hurt. Although she hoped that her son would have a career in her life, she hoped that Xiaocai would have her own life and stay away from the open and secret struggles in the palace.
"Can I refuse?" An Nuanori looked straight into Lan Nian'an's eyes.
Lan Nianan curled the corners of her lips in cold blood.
"Can't."
The short three words shattered her hope. It seems that if Xiaocai's life and future are saved, she must do what Lan Nian'an said.
But the tricky problem now is... Xiao Baocai always thought that she had passed away, and now this secret is still hidden from him. Will her "sudden appearance" leave a big shadow on his little heart?
"My mother!" A sweet childish voice pulled back An Nuanori's consciousness. An Nuanori thought she was dreaming. It had been three days since Lan Nianan gave her conditions. She had been thinking about how to express to Xiaocai for three years that she was his Queen and that she was still alive. At this time, how could Xiaocai come to call her Queen and call her Queen herself?
"The emperor's son meets the queen of mother." Yes, the real scene in front of him is a little boy with bright eyes staring at her. His childish and innocent face is 80% similar to her, especially his big and lively eyes.
An Nuanzhi was silent, as if something was blocking her throat. She was both excited and happy in her heart. She was excited that this was not an unreal dream, but happy that Xiaocai finally recognized him...
What she didn't expect was that Xiaocai stood up indifferently and said in another direction.
"Okay. My mission is completed! Auntie Cheung, you have asked me to do everything I do, so you can do what you should do, bring it, pineapple pastry!"
An Nuanzhi's hands were frozen in the air, and she took them back in disappointment. Xiaocai didn't mean to recognize her. At this moment, she felt heartbroken. As Xiaocai and Lian Qiao looked at each other, her existence was like an outsider.
Lian Qiao walked over awkwardly and hurriedly grabbed the little cake, "Little Prince, call me Mother Queen, this is really your mother Queen, the Queen of Anguo."
Xiaocai looked An Nuanii up and down a few times and said arrogantly, "My mother? Is she? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? I am already three and a half years old. Aunt Lian, you will wet the bed if you lie."
Lian Qiao had a headache now, and she tried to persuade Xiaocai to recognize her mother. She knew that this was An Nuanzhi's biggest wish. She looked at An Nuanzhi a little apologetically, and her eyes seemed to say, "My lady, don't blame the little prince, he is still young and ignorant, and needs to change slowly."
An Nuanzhi sighed deeply. How could she not understand this principle? She has not fulfilled her obligation to be a mother for three years, and it was expected that Xiaocai would not recognize her. She accepted her. The children should slowly cultivate their feelings. She was preparing to remedy the Xiaocai bit by bit and let the Xiaocai accept her.
"Ruyi, take out the things prepared for the little prince." An Nuanzhi waved his hand and ordered the palace maid beside him.
A plate of pineapple pastry was taken out, and there was also a plate of exquisite desserts that everyone had never seen before. The white cotton-shaped soft solid on it was like a ball of white clouds, extremely beautiful.
Everyone had never seen such exquisite and beautiful food, and they all opened their mouths in surprise. The little cake was born with a talent for food. Naturally, the moment they saw the food, he was attracted.
After taking a bite, the small cake tilted its head and a hint of excitement and enjoyment appeared in its big eyes. He was extremely picky in his food, but he lowered his head and ate a whole plate.
An Nuanzhi's heart becomes warm little by little. Life can actually be very simple. When you watch your biological son eat what you have made, happiness cannot be replaced by words.
The little cake was very happy to eat, and the child's heart was easily opened. He suddenly looked up and looked straight into An Nuanzhi's eyes, "Thank you... Queen... This is the best thing Erchen has ever eaten."
After saying this, the fat little hand then covered his mouth. The little cake looked annoyed and made people laugh, "Wow... why did you miss it!"
An Nuanzhi was still immersed in the excitement just now, but Xiaocai actually called her mother! Yes! She heard it right! Xiaocai finally recognized him... She couldn't help but pick up the little man on the ground and pecked her gently.
"Little cake, the mother's good son!"
Unconsciously, it may be because the mother and son were too excited to recognize each other, or it may be because An Nuanzhi felt that she had owed too much to this little person in her arms for three years, and her crystal tears slid down her cheeks... Lian Qiao looked at her sadness and she burst into tears.
At this time, Xiaocai's fat little hands touched An Nuanzhi's cheeks, and he said in a coquettish voice.
"An Nuanzhi is not allowed to cry, your nose is too ugly! Now that I am officially wanted by you, I will never leave without saying a word in the future, leaving it to make delicious food for the small cakes, because the food made by others is so unpalatable..." He blinked his big black expression cunningly.
An Nuanzhi came to his senses and was immediately amazed and laughed. It seemed that this little man had known that she was his mother, but he kept pretending not to know and felt relieved when he saw the delicious food. This child is such a ghost elf!
Just as he was about to ask the little man when he knew her identity, he saw him shrinking into a ball and snuggling in An Nuanzhi's arms and actually fell asleep, just like he used to be in An Nuanzhi's belly. He attached himself to his little head, clenched his soft and small hands into half fists, and was reluctant to let go of An Nuanzhi's little fingers.
An Nuanzhi felt extremely satisfied and happy in her heart, and the excitement kept echoing in her heart. No matter what, her son successfully accepted her...
Lian Qiao was also very happy for An Nuanzhi. "The first time the little prince fell asleep so quickly. In the past, she didn't remember to sleep after coaxing her nurse. It seems that the little prince is really happy."
"Yeah." An Nuanori nodded lightly. She gently held Xiaocai's little hand. The little cake lay in her arms as if it was a heavy responsibility, An Nuanori said as if she had swear.
"Little cake, the Queen Mother promises not to leave you anymore. The reason I named you Xiaocai is that I hope you grow up sweetly like the cake. For you, the Queen Mother is not afraid of anything. For you, the Queen Mother can give everything..."
At this time, the sunset outside the house was slanted, and some dim light hit Xiaocai and An Nuanzhi. This beautiful picture of the mother and son snuggling together could not be disturbed by anyone.
Lian Qiao whispered to all the servants, and she walked out quietly and closed the door. Lian Qiao was already in tears. For some reason, she just wanted to cry.
