She stared at the exquisite photo album on her lap and kept stroking it, but she was actually a little afraid to open it.

"I've seen it."

She seemed to be talking to herself, or asking Lin Shuangshuang for instructions.

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Yes."

The queen took another deep breath and finally looked through the photo album. What came into view was the smiling face of a child. He was wearing coarse linen clothes, holding a book in his hand, looking up at his baby-fat little face, as if he was talking to someone.

At just one glance, the queen covered her mouth and nose and burst into tears.

Although the child in the photo looked two years older than her royal son, she recognized it as her child at a glance.

The queen suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Shuangshuang, her eyes full of questions, expectations, and even prayers, hoping that Lin Shuangshuang could give her a positive answer.

Lin Shuangshuang nodded to her, leaned closer, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xiao Chen, he is fine."

The queen grabbed Lin Shuangshuang's hand, pinching the bones until the bones turned white: "Is he still alive?"

"Well, he's doing fine."

The queen suddenly covered her face with her hands and cried silently, tears falling from her fingers, and her shoulders were shaking...

Lin Shuangshuang could understand her mood at this moment. She should have cried loudly and shouted excitedly.

But now, in order to protect Xiaochen, the queen has to suppress her tears...

Lin Shuangshuang reached out and patted the queen on the shoulder, comforting her in a low voice: "My queen, don't be sad, your health is the most important thing."

"This is a good thing, you should be happy."

The queen gradually stopped crying: "Where is he?"

"at my house."

The queen's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at her in shock: "You...your family?"

"Well, I saved him five years ago."

"He fell into the water and his life or death is unknown..."

"After Xiaochen woke up, he didn't speak for a long time."

"When he was willing to contact outsiders, I realized that he had lost his memory. He didn't know who he was or where his home was."

"I have no choice but to keep him with me all the time. I can't kick him out. He is a four- or five-year-old child and living on the street will only lead to death."

"Later, I happily married Gu Hanzhou, and Xiaochen still followed me."

"A few days after we got married, due to some reasons, our room was forced to be separated."

"After the separation, we had nowhere to go and had to rent the abandoned old house of the village chief's family."

"Xiaochen and my sister had been living with me at that time. It was indeed a difficult time."

"Later, I made some money from my business and built a new house, and our life became easier."

"I discovered Xiao Chen's identity when I received the emperor's imperial edict and reward. As long as someone comes from the capital or the palace, he will hide."

"It seems he is afraid that those people will recognize him."

"I asked him if he had regained his memory and remembered where his home was?"

"I suspected that he was the child of a high official in the capital, but I didn't expect him to tell me that he was actually a prince."

"He also told the reason why he escaped from the palace, as well as his experience of being assassinated, abducted, and living in Hegou Village..."

"I asked him at that time if I wanted to send him back to the palace, and he said he didn't want to go back."

"He wants to make achievements and become the pride of his parents before going back..."

"I chose to respect my child's opinion, so I hired a famous teacher to teach him how to read."

"He has an extraordinary status. Although he grew up in the countryside, he cannot really be a country boy."

"He set a goal for himself. When he was twelve years old, he passed three yuan, became the number one scholar, and returned to the palace with glory."

"By then, Mr. Zhao's disciples will already be all over the court. When he returns to the palace, he will not be fighting alone. Those senior brothers will be his help."

The queen's eyes widened suddenly: "His senior brother? Mr. Zhao's disciple?"

Lin Shuangshuang explained: "This year's top pick and top pick, as well as the six candidates from Qinghe Academy, and all the talented people in Qinghe Academy in the next three years, are all his senior brothers."

“This is also my purpose in establishing Qinghe Academy and Qinghe Library.”

"On the day Xiaochen returns, he is destined to be criticized by other princes for his identity and place of growth."

"Therefore, the little-known Hegou Village must become a literary holy place that scholars all over the world yearn for."

"At that time, whoever dares to laugh at the place where Xiao Chen grew up, who dares to laugh at him as a country man, is going against the scholars all over the world, and disrespecting the holy land of literature. Without Xiao Chen taking action, those people will become the public enemies of the scholars all over the world. ”

The queen was so surprised that she was speechless after listening to Lin Shuangshuang's words.

She...she is paving the way for Xiaochen!

She is a peasant woman, but she actually understands the disputes in the court! ! !

He did so much quietly where she couldn't see him.

For the sake of the emperor, she actually played such a big game of chess and created a holy land of literature. This is something that no one else would dare to think of.

She actually did it for the emperor!

The queen held Lin Shuangshuang's hand again, so excited that she didn't know what to say.

It seems like thousands of words finally converge into the word 'thank you'.

"Queen, there is no need to thank me. I am not asking for credit when I say this."

"I just want to tell you that Xiaochen is living a good life now."

"He is working very hard to become better, and he is looking forward to meeting you again."

"So you have to take care of your body."

The queen held Lin Shuangshuang's hand and burst into tears: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have forced him."

"I don't want him to compete for the position of Crown Prince. He doesn't need to be too good. As long as he can return to me safely."

"Even being an idle prince is fine, as long as he is safe."

"I want to see him, please let me see him."

"I can't wait three years. I want to apologize to him personally. I will never force him again."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the queen's excited look and comforted her again: "Queen, please calm down first."

"Everything Xiaochen does now is of his own free will. No one forced him, and he has stopped blaming you for a long time."

"On the contrary, I miss you very much. I brought him the letter you wrote three years ago, and he often takes it back to read it."

"What he is doing now is not to compete for the throne, but to change the status quo through his own efforts."

"He has seen the real suffering of the people. He has planted land and cleared wasteland. He knows that grains and grains are hard to come by. He also knows that people can really starve to death during famine years..."

"He wanted to create a truly peaceful age."

"So, all his efforts were done willingly."

"In the past five years, we have been dependent on each other. I have already regarded him as a biological brother. I not only want to support his dream, but also help him realize it."

"He has grown a lot over the years and is already as tall as me."

"These photos are not only to record his growth, but also to prevent his identity from being questioned when he returns to the palace."

"So, since I learned his identity, I often took photos of him to record every moment of his growth."
