Zhang Che walked to the bed and placed the porridge on the table beside him.
Then, he gently helped Empress Ma up and carefully placed a pillow behind her.
"Mother, your body has just recovered. You must control your emotions.”
Empress Ma wiped her tears when she saw Zhang Che blowing on the porridge in his spoon and bringing it to her mouth.
She opened her mouth and took a sip of porridge.
Empress Ma was the head of the imperial harem, so she usually ate all kinds of delicacies in the palace.
Even the most ordinary congee was extremely delicious after being prepared by the imperial chef.
However, at this moment, in her heart, no delicacy could compare to this bowl of porridge Zhang Che fed her.
After finishing the porridge, Empress Ma held Zhang Che's hand.
"I've made a fool of myself!"
Although he knew that the child in front of him wasn't the one who died prematurely.
However, when she looked at Zhang Che, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Even though Empress Ma knew that she was delusional, she could not help but feel that this child was like her own.
"Mother, my father has already told me about you.”
Zhang Che grabbed Empress Ma's hand and said seriously,""If you don't mind, you can treat me as your own son in the future. I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me, but my mother left early. When I first saw you, it was as if I saw my mother.”
Nowadays, medical standards were lagging behind.
For a woman, giving birth was like passing through the gates of hell. If she did not give birth once, it could be said that she was consuming her vitality.
But this was only the beginning of their suffering.
If the child was born and grew up healthily, it would be the result of the blessings of the gods and Buddhas.
Otherwise, why was the average age of this era only 30 to 40 years old?
If giving birth to a child damaged the mother's body, then every child's premature death was a piece of the mother's soul.
That kind of heart-wrenching pain was not something that ordinary people could understand.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
In any era, mothers were existences worthy of respect!
Sensing Zhang Che's kindness, Empress Ma's tears turned into smiles.
"Your father is too much. Why does he have to tell you everything?”She pulled Zhang Che's hand and said with slight disdain.
Outside the house, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao stood at the door.
Listening to Empress Ma's soft laughter from time to time, both of them smiled.
In the eyes of others, Empress Ma was the most respected woman in the world.
However, in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, her most important identity was her wife and mother.
As a husband, Zhu Yuanzhang had always felt that he had let Empress Ma down.
When she was young, she followed him to war.
What she had done was to behead him. As his wife, she would naturally be afraid.
It was not easy for him to settle the world and ascend to the throne.
Then, he felt the pain of losing his son.
Empress Ma was seriously ill, and it was not without reason that she missed him too much.
Glory and wealth were seen in the eyes of others, but life was lived by oneself.
Only he knew the joys and sorrows of it.
There was no doubt that Empress Ma had not been happy all these years.
Today was the happiest day of her life.
"Let's go. Don't disturb them.”Zhu Yuanzhang whispered.
He and Zhu Biao came over to inform Empress Ma.
He was the emperor, and he was famous for his diligence.
Accompanying Empress Ma to Zhang Che's place for treatment had piled up a lot of administrative matters.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, he would definitely explode tonight.
Seeing how Zhang Che and Empress Ma were getting along so well, he couldn't bear to ruin this warm moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang went straight to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
After all these years of hard work, the Ming Dynasty had already been taken care of in an orderly manner.
Under the high-pressure control of the imperial court, officials at all levels were conscientious in their work.
Therefore, there were not many government affairs that needed Zhu Yuanzhang to handle.
Even so, with Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, it was not easy to deal with.
By the time he was done, four hours had passed.
The moon was high in the sky. Zhu Biao stood up and rubbed his sore shoulders.
"Father, your son will take his leave." He bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
"Go back and rest early. You still have to visit your mother tomorrow.”
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Instantly, their expressions tensed up.
In the palace, the most important thing is rules and etiquette.
Once there was a lack of manners, it meant that something big had happened.
The palace door was pushed open, and an old eunuch walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the border!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took the military report and quickly scanned through it.
In the beginning, his face revealed a trace of joy. Clearly, he had seen some good news.
But in the next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned ashen.
"Bastard!" He slammed the table and cursed.
He threw the military report to the ground.
The old eunuch was so frightened that he fell to the ground and did not even dare to breathe.
Zhu Biao lowered his head and picked up the military report.
After reading it, his expression immediately became extremely ugly.
