Tang Tian enjoyed the meal. Looking at the kids fighting for food, as well as Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun who had a loving smile on their faces, Tang Tian felt that the meal was very warm.
After dinner, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun took Tang Tian to tour the imperial garden.
They did not talk about the matters of the imperial court. The most they asked was whether Tang Tian was used to living in the Tang Public House.
"Xiao Tian, you must feel lonely living there alone, right?”
Empress Zhangsun suddenly asked in the pavilion.
Tang Tian was looking at Li Chenghao and the other children playing with the palace maids.
"Ah?"
Tang Tian was stunned. Lonely? Thinking about it this way, there was actually a little.
There was no one else in the entire Tang Public House except for the maids, servants, and guards. Sometimes, he would feel that the huge Tang Public House was too empty.
"I'm already used to living alone.”
Tang Tian suddenly smiled. He remembered that in his previous life, he was an orphan and had always grown up in a welfare home.
He had friends when he was young, but every time he came back from school, he would find that his friends were gone.
Year after year, every time he was dismissed from school, what worried him the most was that he would not be able to see his friends when he returned to the orphanage.
Year after year, the final result was that Tang Tian no longer dared to make friends. Because he hated the feeling of losing something. Rather than that, he would rather be alone.
Because the feeling of losing was too painful.
Hearing Tang Tian's words, as well as his eyes that were filled with stories, it was extremely inconsistent with his age.
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun felt their hearts ache.
They really owed Tang Tian a lot. It was hard to imagine how a one-month-old baby could grow up in the mountains and forests.
"It's alright, Your Majesty, Empress. Heaven as father, earth as mother, and all living things as companions. There was nothing bad about it.”
The more he acted like he didn't care, the more uncomfortable Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun felt.
Empress Zhangsun really wanted to tell Tang Tian to just stay in the palace. That way, she could accompany him and her son every day.
But in the end, Empress Zhangsun did not say anything. Because she knew that this matter would not work. The entire court would not agree unless Tang Tian's true identity was exposed.
However, they would ask some questions indirectly during many exchanges.
All he got was that Tang Tian did not have a good impression of his biological parents. She had always been abandoned, and it was hard for her to let go.
Hence, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun did not dare to tell Tang Tian the truth.
They were really worried that Tang Tian would leave in a rage after knowing the truth. With his strength, if he were to leave, no one would be able to stop him.
They were worried that they would lose their son again, so they chose to keep this secret for the time being.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, it's getting late. I still have official business to attend to tomorrow, so I'll take my leave first.”
Tang Tian said with a smile. He was very happy. When he was with Li Shiming's family, he thought he would feel restrained. Because he was an outsider, a true outsider.
However, he didn't expect that it didn't feel out of place at all. Whether it was himself, Empress Zhangsun, Li Chenghao, or the others.
They were like a family together.
Tang Tian liked this feeling very much and even felt a little nostalgic.
However, Tang Tian's rationality told him that he was just an outsider and was not part of their family. This huge palace was not his home after all.
Thus, Tang Tian chose to leave.
Empress Zhangsun was very reluctant to leave. Li Shimin gently squeezed her hand.
"In that case, Eunuch Wang, send Little Tian off.”
Wang Sheng nodded and sighed in his heart. Outsiders were actually the most worried when they saw their family's appearance.
He knew that the person in front of him was his son, but he didn't dare to acknowledge Empress Zhangsun.
Tang Tian, on the other hand, did not know that his biological parents were right in front of him.
Perhaps this was the will of the heavens. What happened nine years ago was a hurdle for Tang Tian and Li Shiming.
Under Wang Sheng's lead, Tang Tian left.
Before they left, the few little fellows were still reluctant to part. For some reason, Tang Tian was very satisfied when he heard them call him brother.
In the end, he promised that he would bring gifts for the little ones the next time he came. Only then did he leave.
As she watched Tang Tian's figure disappear into the distance, Empress Zhangsun couldn't hold it in any longer. She threw herself into Li Shimin's arms and cried.
"Your Majesty, how long will it take? How long will it take to tell Tang 'er that he's our son?”
Empress Zhangsun was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Wasn't Li Shi Min the same? In reality, he did not know when he could do it because he did not dare to say it. Empress Zhangsun did not dare to say it either. She was just worried that she would lose it again.
"Sigh."
He sighed helplessly. Sometimes, reality was always more helpless and incomprehensible than the plot.
In the eyes of outsiders, at most, they would just directly acknowledge each other.
However, in the eyes of Li Shiming and Empress Zhangsun, the hatred in Tang Tian's eyes every time his biological parents were mentioned made their hearts tremble.
Because Tang Tian hated them!
