Chapter 495: Chapter 337: This Person Looks Somewhat Familiar (Vote for Monthly Pass)_3

Fu Zhen’s heart stirred: "Really not?"

The Empress unfolded the portrait again: "Yi Yi absolutely doesn’t look like this as shown in the portrait. Even if he was young when he went missing back then, a ten-year-old’s facial features have already formed. No matter how much he changes, a long thin face wouldn’t turn into a square face.

"His features resemble mine, but his face shape resembles his father. The person in the portrait has Phoenix Eyes, while he has Rui Fengyan."

After hearing these words, Fu Zhen felt as if she had broken free from shackles, her whole body relaxing slightly.

Just as she was about to ask further, the Empress spoke again: "Although this portrait isn’t him, the strange thing is, the person in the painting does seem familiar to me somehow..."

Fu Zhen’s heart skipped again: "You’ve seen him?"

The Empress scrutinized the portrait inch by inch: "Just based on this face, it indeed looks somewhat familiar."

Fu Zhen’s heart was beating so fast it almost jumped out of her throat, the truth about the identity of the person in the portrait was nearly about to slip out!

The person whom the Empress found familiar was exactly the one who died in Baiyu Lane! The one whom the deposed Crown Prince and the Dragon King mistook for the eldest royal son!

"Does Your Majesty find his face familiar, but still be sure he is not the Crown Prince?"

"Of course, I’m sure." The Empress’s reply was unequivocal, and she set the portrait down, her expression returning to normal in an instant, "Among your ancestor’s belongings, was there anything else placed alongside this portrait?"

"No," Fu Zhen shook her head, "This picture was placed alone in a separate spot."

The Empress nodded and returned the portrait to her: "What a clever and bold young girl you are. With a mistress like you, the Pei family will never have to worry in the future."

Mrs. Feng laughed and said, "With the Emperor and Empress’s wise rule, how could the people of Great Zhou not live and work in peace?"

"Your loyalty is also rare and commendable."

The Empress said with a smile.

Just as the words fell, a palace maid entered and reported: "Mr. He has arrived and is waiting outside, Your Majesty."

The Empress lowered her gaze: "Tell him to come back later."

The palace maid withdrew.

Fu Zhen retracted her gaze back to the Empress and happened to see her intertwined hands clenching and releasing, contracting and relaxing.

She thought for a moment, then discreetly tugged at Mrs. Feng’s sleeve with her own to cover it.

Mrs. Feng understood, put down the teacup and said, "Your Majesty, with your busy affairs, this humble servant dare not impose any longer."

"Very well." The Empress said, "I also have to attend the Emperor in taking his medicine at Qianqing Palace. We shall talk another day. — Take two tins of the tea Madam Feng just drank for her and Mrs. Xiao Pei each."

Once the tea was brought, Mrs. Feng led Fu Zhen in expressing thanks and leaving.

As they exited the grand hall, Fu Zhen looked around, then hastened her steps and walked out of Kunning Palace’s gates!

At the moment of crossing the threshold, she collided face-to-face with someone, both stopping three steps away from each other.

"Zhen Er! Why are you walking so fast?"

Mrs. Feng caught up, calling out with an elder’s authority.

As soon as she called out, she too saw the person in front, then softened her expression and said: "Mr. He."

He Rong, around forty years old, with a fair complexion, neither fat nor thin, stepped aside and offered a deep bow: "Greetings to Mrs. Feng."

"You’re too polite."

Mrs. Feng nodded courteously, then took Fu Zhen’s hand: "Let’s go. Your mother-in-law specifically instructed me to look after you and not to wander around the palace, so go slowly."

Fu Zhen withdrew her gaze from He Rong’s waist and nodded to Mrs. He: "As you command."

He Rong’s waist was adorned with a pouch, from which a small tassel protruded through a hole at the bottom.

This tassel marked a palace attendant, with different colors representing different ranks, attached at the other end to a Token.

For convenience in the palace, they often kept the Token in the pouch and let the tassel hang down.

This meant that in He Rong’s pouch lay a Token that could be easily taken out!

After leaving the palace gates, Fu Zhen immediately got into her sedan chair.

Mrs. Feng hurriedly said: "Why the rush? Aren’t you coming back to our house? You promised last time!"

"I’ll come back later, I’ll have dinner with you!" Fu Zhen replied, lifting the sedan curtain, "There’s something I have to do now, so don’t wait for me for lunch!"

She then instructed the guards: "Go and see where your General is! Then go back and get me a carriage ready!"

Seeing the sedan chair had already reached the street, Mrs. Feng finally lowered her heels, muttering: "This girl, still as restless and impatient as ever..."

Despite her words, her eyes were full of joy.

A missed meal wasn’t of any consequence.

What mattered was that this indeed was the living, breathing Liang Ning!

She had really come back!

Not only had she returned, but she was also just as energetic as before, like a spirited young colt, healthy and vibrant!

...The days ahead were long, and from now on, they would have countless meals together and meet countless times.

Their family had all the time in the world to make up for the missing six years.

So, what was there not to be satisfied with?
