Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

In the main hall, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun sat at the top of the table.

Li Nian brought hot tea and respectfully offered it.

"Godfather, please have some tea!"

Li Shimin took the teacup and stared at Li Nian.

"This child looks exactly like the queen when she was young!"

"Even Qian Er doesn't look so similar!"

Li Shimin took a sip of tea and thought to himself.

"cough cough..."

Feeling uneasy under Li Shimin's burning gaze, Li Nian hurriedly sat down. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward.

Li Junxian on the side was also confused by this scene.

But he had no right to speak. He just wanted to leave quickly.

How could a minister like him comment on the emperor's family affairs?

What's more, he seemed to have eaten a big melon.

A shocking melon.

The queen has a son, but the emperor doesn't know!

If this gets out, I'm afraid the whole Tang Dynasty will be shocked!

He is now sitting on the chair, at a loss.

It's not right to leave, nor to stay. He can only look at the faces of the two big guys and giggle, weak and helpless.

Being curious is not a good thing for an official in the court.

"Knowing this secret, Your Majesty will not kill me, will he?"

Touching his neck, Li Junxian was about to cry.

"cough cough..."

Li Nian couldn't stand Li Shimin's burning gaze, so she finally spoke to break the silence.

"I didn't know that you were coming today, so I didn't greet you. I hope you will forgive me."

Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun beside him, then raised his hand and said,"It's okay."

"I..."

Before he could finish his words, Empress Changsun lifted him up with her foot.

"？？？"

Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun with a puzzled look on his face, and she smiled and said,"I came to you today, but your godfather didn't know, so he came to you."

"Right, my child's father!"

Li Shimin was confused by what Empress Changsun said, but seeing the threatening look in her eyes, he could only nod obediently.

"ah...yes!"

"Your godmother left home without even saying hello to me, so I came to look for her!"

Li Nian said,"I heard from my godmother that godfather is an official in the court?"

Before Li Shimin could speak, Empress Changsun said quickly,"Yes, your father works for the court."

"oh..."

"That godfather..."

Seeing that Li Nian wanted to ask something, Empress Changsun quickly said,"Nian'er, your godfather has to go to the government office in the afternoon, so let's cook first."

""Okay!"

Li Nian stood up and bowed, saying,"Godfather and godmother, please take a rest for a while. I will go to light the fire and cook."

Seeing Li Nian go to the kitchen, Empress Changsun was relieved.

She was afraid that Li Nian would ask a few more questions and Li Shimin would let the cat out of the bag.

"what happened?"

"You have such a big godson, and I didn't even know it!"

Li Shimin widened his eyes and roared in a low voice

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. I will explain this to you right away."

Li Junxian looked at the two of them helplessly and stood up obediently.

"I'll go to the kitchen to help!"

""Go!"

After receiving the order, Li Junxian ran away happily.

There was no other way. If he ran slower, he would hear something he shouldn't hear, and his head would probably be moved.

There was no one in the hall, and Empress Zhangsun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Li Shimin's puzzled eyes, she slowly spoke

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Kuan'er?"

"Kuan'er!"

Hearing this familiar name, Li Shimin was stunned immediately, and then the long-forgotten memory emerged in his mind. In the third year of Wude, he led his army to attack Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and the two sides confronted each other at Hulao Pass.

Dou Jiande had 300,000 soldiers, while he only led a few thousand cavalry. If they fought head-on, they would surely lose.

At that time, the party of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng was eyeing him covetously, and this battle was the decisive battle for the Tang Dynasty to unify the Central Plains. If he failed in this battle, he would be doomed. At that time, he could only fight for a short time.

The only people who assisted him were the old subordinates of Li Zhiyun, the King of Chu. In order to gain their support, he adopted the newly born Li Kuan to the King of Chu.

Later, after breaking through Hulao Pass, he was also named General Tiance, and his prestige in the army reached its peak.

However, he lost his newborn son.

Later, when he went to look for Li Kuan again, he learned that Li Kuan had died and was buried in Liangzhou.

Li Shimin felt very guilty about Li Kuan.

Whenever he thought of this, even though he was already the king of the world, he still felt a little sad.

"You mean...Is he Kuan'er?"

"Kuan'er, isn't it already..."

After taking a deep breath, Li Shimin's voice trembled a little.

"Exactly!"

Seeing her usually cold husband lose his composure, Empress Changsun nodded heavily with tears in her eyes and took out a dragon-shaped pendant from her bosom.

""Your Majesty, do you still remember this jade pendant?"

Li Shimin took it and looked at it carefully, and a gleam of light flashed in his dragon eyes!

This jade pendant was exactly the piece of jade from outer space that he had obtained, and he asked a master craftsman to cast it.

The dragon-shaped jade pendant was stuffed into Li Kuan's swaddling clothes, and the other one was treasured by Empress Changsun.

"How did you find him?"

"Tell me the whole story!"

Empress Changsun nodded with tears in her eyes and told me the whole story of how she found Li Nian.

The hall was terribly quiet.

Li Shimin frowned, wondering what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, do you want to tell Kuan'er our true identities?"

Empress Changsun held Li Shimin's hand and whispered softly.

"No!"

After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin said slowly.

"Just a jade pendant cannot prove that he is Kuan'er!"

"But...That child looks exactly like me when I was young. Could it be possible that blood can be faked?"

Empress Changsun asked hurriedly.

"Don't be in a hurry!"

"I'm not saying that we can't recognize him, but this matter needs long-term consideration!"

Li Shimin exhaled and said seriously:"Kuan'er has been dead for many years, how can he appear out of thin air?"

"Where had he been all these years? Who had he met? Was there anyone plotting behind the scenes?"

"But...I can feel that he is Kuan'er!"

Empress Changsun still said stubbornly.

"Women's views!"

Li Shimin scolded in a low voice

"You were right not to identify yourself at first!"

"If someone secretly planned and forged Kuan'er's identity and asked him to impersonate him, then his purpose might very well be to destroy the eternal foundation of our Tang Dynasty!"

"Even if he is real, now that you have revealed your identity, should we take him into the palace?"

"If he returns to the palace, what will Qian Er think? What will others think?"

"Besides, he has been away for many years. Will he be able to adapt to life in the palace after returning?"

"If you reveal your identity now and take him into the palace, it's not love for him, but harm for him!"

Li Shimin expressed his concerns.

"What should I do then?"

Empress Changsun said with tears in her eyes:"Kuan'er has suffered for so many years, I can't let him suffer anymore!" She might have had some concerns before, but now that she had spoken to Li Shimin, Empress Changsun could no longer suppress her emotions.

"We all owe Kuan Er!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was also a little dazed.

His originally fierce momentum gradually calmed down.

"Yes, we all owe Kuan Er!"

Li Shimin sighed, feeling extremely guilty.

"We don’t have to take Kuan’er into the palace now!"

After pondering for a moment, Li Shimin said,"Just like now, recognize him as your adopted son!"

"After I have found out everything, I will decide whether to take Kuan'er into the palace."

Empress Changsun felt a little reluctant.

Seeing his wife like this, Li Shimin also held her hand and comforted her:"Don't worry, we will compensate Kuan'er sooner or later for what we owe him, but there is no rush, right?"

"If he is really Kuan'er, you should be happy!"

"Our family is finally reunited!"

Among these sons, the one he owed the most was his second son Li Kuan.

His young son was traded away by himself. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

But fortunately, fate seemed to have arranged everything.

Li Kuan was still alive!

Hearing Li Shimin's comfort, Empress Changsun gradually accepted it all.

"Your Majesty, you need to hurry up...."I miss Kuan'er so much!"

Li Shimin smiled with relief.

"Don't worry, I will find out the truth and give you an explanation!"
