The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

With a shout of "Bao'er", two people came together. Cen Yuan hugged Shi Anxia and hid behind a tree, and Ye Bao'er followed. The two people and the dog held their breath and concentrated.

Shi Anxia quietly asked Cen Yuan, "What are you going to do?"

"Look at Emperor Mingde's behavior. You can't force a couple to break up." Cen Yuan patted Ye Baoer's head, "Isn't that right?"

Ye Baoer made a "roaring" sound in his throat, and was about to bark loudly a few times.

Cen Yuan quickly pinched the dog's mouth with his hand. Ye Baoer could only rub his palm impatiently with her wet nose, whining and acting coquettishly.

In an instant, Emperor Mingde arrived on horseback.

Shi Anxia was a little surprised, "Hey, father came here on horseback?"

She thought that Emperor Mingde would share a carriage with her mother, so she could take the opportunity to talk to her.

Cen Yuan smiled faintly, "I told you, Emperor Mingde is pretty good."

Haha, you’re really good at playing hard to get, Xiao Ming!

Shi Anxia really appreciated Emperor Mingde's move, so he calmed down and watched how his mother would climb the ninety-nine stairs.

There was a cool breeze at the foot of the mountain, the shadows of the trees were dancing, and the birds were singing. The moonlight and the stars, plus the swaying lantern in front of the carriage, only made the night traveler more lonely.

Emperor Mingde dismounted, threw the reins to the guard, and strode towards the carriage.

Eunuch Qi's voice was warm, "We have arrived at Baoguo Temple! Miss Tang, please get off the carriage!"

The first person to get off the carriage was Nanny Zhong, who held out her hand to support Tang Chujun, "Old Madam, be careful."

Cen Yuan behind the tree laughed softly, "No one can tell that 'Miss Tang' and 'Old Madam' are the same person."

"Stop talking about it. This topic of the youngest 'old lady' has already become a laughing stock in their circle. My mother is getting younger and more beautiful, and in the future... I don't know how many jokes she will make." Shi Anxia was very depressed.

Emperor Mingde seemed to sense something, raised his head and looked in the direction of Shi Anxia, ​​then calmly lowered his head and asked, "Lord Chu, the ninety-ninth step, can you go up?"

Tang Chujun didn't dare to look into Emperor Mingde's eyes now. His heart was pounding. "Can I... go up?"

Chu Jun! Chu Jun! You heard it right, the emperor really called her Chu Jun!

Oh my god! How careless was her father when he chose her name? If she chose a name that sounds the same as "Prince", would the emperor chop off her head to offer sacrifice to the ancestors?

Emperor Mingde's deep and pleasant voice came from above his head, "Then give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."

Tang Chujun lowered his head and hummed. As he was lost in thought, he felt not only pain in his feet, but also dizziness and blurry vision. What was wrong with him?

It was true that she was delicate, but she was also strong-willed. When she got off the carriage, she endured the pain and landed on the ground with the help of Nanny Zhong.

Nanny Zhong asked worriedly, "Is it okay?" She could clearly notice that her master's palms were full of sweat, which must be caused by the unbearable pain.

Tang Chujun nodded firmly, "Okay."

To be honest, she didn't feel much pain at first, and she didn't feel much pain when she was arguing with the beautiful lady. But why did it hurt so much more after applying the ointment?

As if he knew what she was thinking, Eunuch Qi explained, "Those ointments will heal quickly after use, and will activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. You may feel the stinging sensation increase now, but it will be gone after tonight."

It turned out that it wasn't just her illusion caused by her pampered nature? Tang Chujun limped towards the stairs, surrounded by a group of people to see if she could walk.

She gritted her teeth and prepared to fight to the death.

As soon as the anger came to her head, the piercing pain swept over her...and then, and then, she couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

Why are you crying? I’m crying for Yao Sheng.

Tang Chujun actually thought of Yao Sheng at this inappropriate time. How painful it must have been. How did Yao Sheng survive?

She was heartbroken by such a minor injury. Yao Sheng had his fingers pinched and his legs broken, and was tortured and interrogated by the people closest to him. How desperate he must have felt... Tang Chujun felt relieved and didn't care about her image. She sat on the stairs, covered her face and cried sadly.

Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan looked at each other.

What's wrong with the mother? Is she crying because she can't climb the stairs?

Shi Anxia was about to go out to comfort her mother, but was brought back by Cen Yuan with one hand.

"Let Emperor Mingde handle it." Cen Yuan lowered his voice, "She will be embarrassed if you leave at this time."

Shi Anxia heard Emperor Mingde order, "You go first."

Before Nanny Zhong could say something, she was pulled away by Eunuch Qi.

"You can't carry your master on your back, so don't join in the fun. Quickly pack up the things you need to take and hand them over to the guards." Eunuch Qi arranged everything in an orderly manner, directing those who were to take things to take things and those who were to park the carriage to park the carriage.

Anyway, don't bother the master! This family needs to go away without him!

Tang Chujun was still sitting on the stairs, covering his face... Oh my god, how embarrassing! Why are you crying?

I’m not crying now, I just don’t have the face to raise my head.

Just then, a deep male voice sounded above my head, with an uncertain tone, "Are you... the fat kid who also sat here and cried when we were little?"

Tang Chujun raised his head abruptly, "I have never been fat... since I was a child..."

My god, she seemed to have been fat before! At that time, Zhu Yingying had just married into the Huguogong Mansion, and in order to make people praise her for treating the first wife's children very well, she forced her to eat a lot.

She was once as fat as a ball, round and plump, and was laughed at by many people.

Later, Zhu Yingying secured the position of the mistress of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. She no longer needed to do superficial work. She was even often punished by not being allowed to eat, saying that she was fat and ugly and brought discredit to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. Only then did she starve herself back to being thin.

However, when Emperor Mingde heard Tang Chujun deny it, he didn't take it to heart.

He had long forgotten the little fat boy he had carried on his back, but when he saw Tang Chujun sitting on the steps crying just now, he suddenly remembered the little fat boy he met in his youth, who was also sitting on the steps crying sadly.

Tang Chujun didn't think that the "little fat girl" that Emperor Mingde mentioned was referring to her, because she knew who had carried her on his back when she was a child.

That day happened to be the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Some people say that if you light a perpetual lamp for your deceased relatives on this day, their relatives in heaven will feel light and warmth.

But the Huguogong Mansion did not allow anyone to mention her mother, and lighting a perpetual lamp for her was even more impossible. So Xiao Chujun secretly ran away from home when no one was paying attention, and went to Baoguo Temple to light a perpetual lamp for her dead mother.

At that time, Xiao Chujun had no carriage, so she asked people all the way to Baoguo Temple. She was still very young at that time, fat as a ball, her short legs were sore and painful, and her feet were worn out.

As a result, when I got to Baoguo Temple, I found that there were such high stairs to climb, and I burst into tears out of grievance.

At that time, a little brother squatted in front of her and said, "Little Fatty, come here, I'll carry you."

Without saying a word, she climbed onto the man's back, crying and wiping her tears on his collar.

During the ninety-nine steps, she discovered that the little brother who was carrying her had a very small leaf-shaped red birthmark in the middle of the neck.

Later, when she grew up, she accidentally discovered that Shi Chengyi also had a leaf-shaped birthmark on his neck. This was the initial reason why she fell in love with Shi Chengyi.
