The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

With the change of dynasties, the imperial palace also needed some repairs. In the past few days, Hua Wu Ke had been living in the Yangxin Palace with Ye Buhuo.

After arranging the matters concerning his enthronement, Ye Buhuo began to work on renovating the palace.

He flipped through the booklet that recorded the palaces in the harem, frowned with some dissatisfaction and said:

"It's so far from the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"

The eunuch replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, you are in the Qianqing Palace, so you are naturally not close to the harem."

Ye Buhuo frowned and thought for a moment, then put the booklet down.

After getting married, they can finally live together. Why should they have to sleep in separate rooms after becoming emperor?

"Forget it, don't build it. The Queen and I will live together in the Qianqing Palace."

Father-in-law: “……?”

Ye Buhuo: "What's wrong?"

The eunuch asked tentatively: "Then... except for the Queen's Kunning Palace, other palaces are not repaired? If there are other queens in the future..."

Ye Buhuo interrupted him directly: "There will be no one else. It is enough for the Queen and I to live together in the Qianqing Palace."

After thinking for a while, Ye Buhuo added: "Let's build residences for the princes and princesses."

The father-in-law responded and went down to arrange the matter.

After dealing with government affairs, Ye Buhuo hugged Hua Wuke and refused to let go as soon as he returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"Sui Sui, come to the Yangxin Palace to accompany me tomorrow? Or should I move my desk here?"

Hua Wu Ke pushed him and said with a smile: "I wasn't so clingy before in the palace, what's wrong now?"

Ye Buhuo said dissatisfiedly: "When I was in the palace, I could come to the courtyard to see you at any time, and you would sit in the study and read some books. How come it is like now that I can't see you for most of the day?"

Hua Wu Ke said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go to the Yangxin Palace to accompany you tomorrow."

"By the way, I saw the relic left by the late emperor for your mother that day and it looked familiar. I took it out and looked at it. It seemed to match the jade pendant fragment I got from the monk in the temple before."

Hua Wu Ke put the pieces together and motioned for Ye Buhuo to look at them.

"Look, does this pattern look like a flower when put together?"

Ye Chuji stared at the flower for a long while, then said, "This is Nan Jin, the symbol of the Southern Kingdom's royal family."

"So your mother is related to the Southern Royal Family?"

Ye Buhuo shook his head and said, "I don't know my mother's identity. The Southern Kingdom will send someone to me after I ascend the throne in three days. I can test it out then."

Three days later, in the throne hall, Ye Buhuo really met the envoy sent by the Southern Kingdom.

But I didn’t expect that this person was Feng Yu.

"The Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom, Nan Yu, has come specially to congratulate His Majesty on his ascension to the throne."

Ye Buhuo nodded: "Thank you very much, I didn't expect that Master Feng Yu is actually the prince of the Southern Kingdom."

Nan Yu opened his folding fan and shook it, then said with a smile, "When traveling outside, it is natural to change one's identity."

"Oh? I wonder why the prince stayed in the Night Country for so long?"

Nan Yu stared at Ye Buhuo's face, then said, "I'm here to look for someone at the request of my father."

"Who? Perhaps I can help?"

"She is the Crown Prince's aunt, the Princess of the Southern Kingdom, Nanqing. I wonder if the Emperor has heard of her?"

At this moment, Ye Buhuo was certain that the Nanqing he mentioned was his mother.

When my father was still alive, the relationship between the Kingdom of Ye and the Kingdom of the South was not that good. My mother might have gotten together with my father by chance, but she concealed her identity for fear of opposition from the two countries.

Ye Buhuo took out the jade pendant and motioned for Nan Yu to identify it.

Nan Yu took the jade pendant and immediately recognized that it was something belonging to their Southern Kingdom royal family.

"Aunt's jade pendant is exactly the same as father's! When I first saw you in Ye Country, I thought you looked very much like Aunt's portrait! I was right!"

Nan Yu slapped his thigh with his fan and said with some regret:

"If I had known I would have asked you for a portrait of my aunt! I wouldn't have had to travel around the surrounding countries and still not find anything."

Nan Yu said a lot, then stared at Ye Buhuo and said with satisfaction:

"Tsk tsk, not bad, he is worthy of being my Nan Yu's cousin, he is indeed a handsome man with a talent!"

Hua Wuke on the side: "..."

From the tone of his voice, it sounded as if Ye Buhuo was his son...

Although Ye Buhuo was happy to know his mother's background, he didn't know how to react when faced with Nan Yu who showed her emotions so openly. He looked at Hua Wuke as if asking for help.

Hua Wu Ke smiled secretly, then continued Nan Yu's words and said, "So that's why you spoke up for me in the academy?"

Nan Yu nodded as a matter of course, "Of course, after meeting the emperor, I guessed that he had my aunt's blood, so you are naturally my aunt's daughter-in-law, so of course I have to ask to help you."

Hua Wu Ke thanked him with a smile. It seemed that Nan Guo still valued Ye Qingge very much. In this case, he should also treat Ye Buhuo sincerely.

At night, in the Qianqing Palace, Ye Buhuo carefully took off the hairpin on Hua Wuke's head, letting her beautiful hair fall down little by little.

Hua Wu Ke looked at Ye Bu Huo's eyebrows and eyes in the bronze mirror and said:

"Do you want to go to the Southland again?"

Ye Buhuo nodded and said, "I want to bring my mother's tomb back to the Southern Kingdom and visit the Southern Kingdom's emperor. After so many years, he sent his son to look for my mother. I should have thanked him for this kindness."

"Sui Sui, will you accompany me?"

He wanted to ask this question when he ascended the throne today. Ye Buhuo didn't care about the throne, he just hoped that no matter when, there would always be a Hua Wuke by his side.

Hua Wu Ke stood up, pulled his hand against his face, and looked at Ye Bu Huo with gentle eyes:

"The sun and the moon change, the seas and the earth change, I only wish I could watch the clouds roll and unfold with you every morning and evening."
