Chapter 168
Author: Qing Yunmo
"Father, the fourth brother is now in a harmonious relationship with the Crown Princess. I think he learned that the Crown Princess misses his parents, so he brought someone there." Xiao Changqi said after considering.
His voice paused, and then he added, "Father, you also know that the fourth brother's leg is injured. The fourth brother is very unhappy about this. He wants to go out for a walk, which will make him feel better."
The emperor stopped talking. He remembered the prince's injury. The imperial doctors said that he could hardly stand up.
Although he also found many private doctors, the imperial doctors in the palace couldn't do anything, so what use could these private doctors do?
The emperor sighed heavily, "That's all, if he doesn't come back for the time being, he won't come back."
It doesn't matter if the prince doesn't return to Lanjing for the time being. When he weakens the power at the prince's hand, on the one hand, the prince is far away and there is no way to stop it, and on the other hand, the ministers probably won't object so much.
He still admired this legitimate son, whether it was his legitimate status or his talents and courage.
It's just that this legitimate son's life was not good after all.
The emperor didn't know why, but he felt relieved.
"You have been out for a long time, so you should go see your mother and concubine."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Changqi knew that he could go out, so he quickly saluted and said goodbye.
After he left the house for a while, the emperor changed into light clothes and went to Yongning Palace.
The queen didn't want to see the emperor at all. When she saw him coming, she mentioned Wanmei, "Wanmei gave birth to an heir. According to the rules, she should be promoted."
"Wanmei is dear to your Majesty's heart. Please make your own decision on this matter."
"The position and title should be decided as soon as possible to avoid damaging the eighth prince's reputation."
After all, there is no royal heir in this harem whose biological mother is just a beauty.
Even if the eldest prince made a mistake, Concubine Hui is still Concubine Hui.
If the courtiers hear these words of the Queen, they will definitely praise the Queen for her magnanimity and she is worthy of being the mother of the country.
But the emperor was not happy when he heard it.
He was no longer like before, thinking that the queen was just having fun and deliberately said this to irritate him.
He understood that the queen really didn't care and didn't like...
The emperor lowered his head and saw the queen embroidering a handkerchief in a very simple style.
He had received a few handkerchiefs from the Queen's Palace, but at first glance they were the work of the embroiderers in the palace.
He closed his eyes and sat down not far away.
"The prince went to Yun Kingdom."
The queen was not surprised at all, but the emperor came to talk about it, which annoyed her.
She nodded, indicating that she understood.
The emperor looked at her for a long time and asked unwillingly, "I know those words you said before were made out of anger."
"What words?" The queen felt strange.
The emperor lowered his eyes, "When you married me, it was..."
The queen remembered, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the man with a half-smile, "Your Majesty, you think this is an angry talk? But this is my sincere words."
She didn't understand that after so many years, and at this age she had grandchildren, she suddenly began to miss her true love.
When you should think about the true feelings, you don't think about them. When you shouldn't think about them, you always think about things that are not there.
The queen chuckled lightly, with sarcasm in it.
It was a mockery of this man and a mockery of herself.
The emperor's face was ashen and he wanted to leave with his sleeves rolled up, but in the end his eyes were dull.
"I'm eating here."
When she didn't talk about it directly, the queen still managed to maintain a superficial harmony. Now that she has talked about it a few times, she is too lazy to do these superficial things.
So he just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please go to a nearby place."
"Mingwei!"
There was a threat in the voice, but the queen didn't pay attention.
What else could she be threatened with?
The prince...the prince is no longer within this man's control. As for her...she doesn't care.
So she raised her eyes, her eyes filled with indifference.
The emperor didn't know why, but he gradually felt regret in his heart, but he couldn't tell for a while whether it was for one thing or for everything.
When he saw the calmness and indifference in the woman's eyes, he felt sour in his heart that he couldn't continue to stay.
So he made an excuse to make himself look less embarrassed, "Wanmei is feeling unwell, let me go see her."
"There is also her child, which I haven't named yet."
Shou'an counted at the door, and after a while the emperor came out with a gloomy face.
Although I had expected it, I was still surprised.
"His Majesty?"
"Go to Cuiwei Hall.
Shou'an ordered the two young eunuchs to report first, and then followed the emperor.
Wan Meiren is looking at the child in Su Ran's arms.
This child has been very noisy since he was born, and will behave better only when he is close to Su Ran.
Just as she was about to talk to Su Ran, she heard someone from the palace outside saying that His Majesty was here.
Wanmei's face turned pale, and she quickly asked Su Ran to carry the child over, and then asked Su Ran to get down.
Just as the emperor came in, he saw Su Ran coming out.
He glanced at her unconsciously and said casually, "Everyone in your palace, even a eunuch, has a good appearance."
Wanmei was so frightened that her heart stopped beating. She smiled forcefully, "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to praise others for their good looks."
The emperor didn't think about anything else, he just said, "You are getting more and more jealous."
Wanmei came over to let the emperor take a look at the child, and said coquettishly, "I just don't want to hear your majesty praise others."
The emperor lowered his head and looked at it for a while, feeling a little fond of it.
It’s just that I don’t like it too much.
Not only because of the child's biological mother, but also because of the child's appearance.
The prince is more like the queen. If you look closely, you can find someone who looks like him.
So every time he looked at the prince, he felt happy in his heart.
But this happiness was not worth his guard against the prince.
As for Wan Meiren’s child...
Wanmei looks a bit like the queen in her youth, but the child can't find anything that looks like her, nor does she look like him.
"Take him over." The emperor said to the two nuns.
After hearing this, grandma came over immediately and took the child away.
"I came here today for the sake of the child's name."
"It's been a few days since he was born, so it's not good that he still doesn't have a name."
Wanmei had already thought about it, and she said happily, "Actually, I had already thought of a name before giving birth."
"If she is a princess, call her Xiao Lan; if she is a prince, call her Xiao Jin."
She dipped some tea and wrote something on the table for the emperor to read.
Both names are interesting, in many ways.
First, whether it is a princess or a prince, it is different from other people's. The princess of this generation will grow up, and the prince will grow up.
Wanmei's name didn't contain these two characters, so the emperor just assumed that she didn't understand.
But aside from these, these two words are also very interesting.
The imperial city of Beixiao is Lanjing, so the word "lan" also has some meaning.
It's not that ordinary people can't use this word, but the higher the status, the more they avoid it.
The name of the princess is nothing, but no matter how much you favor a princess, you will only end up giving her more in dowry.
Besides, it’s not the princess who lives a beautiful life.
