Chapter 570 The little princess meets the emperor for the first time
"Now that we're here, let's go pay homage to the Iron Wolf leader."
Chu Wenjin's words were in line with etiquette, and the Northern Barbarian envoy and the leader's wife didn't think there was anything wrong, so they led him away.
Chu Wenjin's idea was that since he entered the hinterland of the Northern Barbarians, he naturally wanted to walk around more.
Looking at the sacrifices placed on the table, one can know that the life of this Iron Wolf tribe is indeed much better than that of several other tribes.
As expected, the Northern Barbarian royal family favored one over the other and excluded dissidents. This gave the Yunxiao Kingdom an opportunity to take advantage of.
Chu Wenjin counted the days. In more than a month, his sister should have given birth. I wonder if he can make it back by then.
In the Royal Palace of Yunxiao Kingdom.
Unknowingly, the little princess born to Concubine Rong was already one month old. The weather was gradually getting warmer, and it was fine to take her out for a walk on a sunny day.
Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi decided to take the little princess to meet the Supreme Emperor. After all, he was the little princess's biological father.
Jun Lingyun tied Chu Yunxi's cloak.
"Xi'er, if you don't want to go, I can go by myself."
Now that Chu Yunxi's belly has grown bigger, it is not so convenient to move around.
Chu Yunxi smiled gently.
"These days, I have watched the little princess grow up, and I have begun to miss her in my heart, and I can no longer ignore her.
It’s been a long time since I left the palace, and I also want to see the scenery along the way. Anyway, there are carriages going back and forth, so it’s okay to drive slowly.”
Jun Lingyun knew that Chu Yunxi had a strong balance in her heart. She would not be soft on the heinous people, but she could not be cruel to the innocent people either.
Jun Lingyun didn't persuade her much. The weather was just right, so it would be a good idea to take Xi'er out for a walk.
"If my father says something unpleasant again, you don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of everything."
Being protected by Jun Lingyun like this, Chu Yunxi felt warm in her heart, warmer than the sunlight shining on her body.
"I know that I will put myself and my children first."
She looked at the little princess being held in the arms of the nanny. She just opened her clear eyes and looked at new things curiously.
When a person is born, he is like a blank piece of paper. No one can predict what he will look like in the future.
But you can't deprive a little life of the opportunity to grow just because of the worst possibility.
In the royal palace,
The Supreme Emperor was playing with flowers and plants when he saw Jun Lingyun and his wife coming with a baby. He almost thought it was Chu Yunxi who had given birth.
But looking at Chu Yunxi's belly and thinking about the time, it seems that the time has not come yet.
"Where do you get a child?"
After Jun Lingyun brought Chu Yunxi to the ceremony, he replied:
"Father, this is the daughter of Concubine Rong, your daughter."
The Emperor was so stunned that he had forgotten that Concubine Rong, the woman who had caused him to lose his longevity, was still pregnant with his child.
"Concubine Rong is dead?"
He still remembered that he had issued an imperial order to execute Concubine Rong after she gave birth!
"Yes, in compliance with your order, Concubine Rong has been executed."
The Supreme Emperor put down the scissors for pruning flowers and plants, clapped his hands, and signaled the nanny to bring the child to him.
The wet nurse secretly looked at Jun Lingyun and saw him nodding slightly, then she carried the little princess and walked to the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor just lowered his eyes and glanced at the infant child, then waved his hand to the nanny to step back.
"Okay, I've seen it. Find a wealthy family, keep her name anonymous, and put her up for adoption. From now on, she will be a commoner and will have nothing to do with the royal family."
He never thought that Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi would still think of him as their father and bring the child to him.
Fortunately, she was a girl, so there were fewer disputes. She was given up for adoption, so that she would have no worries about food and clothing throughout her life. As a father, he was worthy of her.
Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi did not expect that the Supreme Emperor would make such a decision and reduce the royal princess to a commoner?
Chu Yunxi looked at the little princess, feeling unbearable, and gently advised:
"Father, although the little princess is the daughter of a concubine, she is still your daughter, the royal princess. She has you as her father and the third prince as her brother. Is it really necessary to give up the identity of the royal princess?"
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and said:
"It is precisely because she has an imperial brother, Chengyi, that she has to do this even more. Chengyi has a weak character and is easily influenced by others. This is the best arrangement."
Chu Yunxi understood clearly that the Emperor not only wanted to eliminate the possibility of the little princess turning against her in the future, but also wanted to shake the mountain and make the third prince stay in peace.
It is true that the Supreme Emperor only cares about the stability of Yunxiao Kingdom.
But Chu Yunxi didn't quite agree. The third prince was not like the Supreme Emperor, who analyzed the pros and cons of everything and acted decisively because he valued emotions more.
The third prince's biological mother, Concubine Rong, is dead.
If they couldn't treat his little sister kindly, I'm afraid the third prince would really be alienated.
But now it seems that the Emperor has no intention of raising the little princess. He will not agree to leave the little princess to be raised by the third prince.
If we don't follow the Emperor's wishes, who can we entrust the little princess to raise?
It was not appropriate to keep her in the palace. After all, it was she and Jun Lingyun who personally supervised and executed Concubine Rong.
When the little princess grows up in the future, once she knows this, she may never be happy again.
In desperation, Chu Yunxi suddenly thought of someone.
But she didn't know if they were willing to do so. She couldn't bring it up directly in front of the Supreme Emperor, so she said to the Supreme Emperor affectionately:
"Father, you personally appointed Xi'er to Ling Yun as your wife back then. My daughter-in-law has always been thinking of her.
Since the daughter-in-law has assumed the position of queen, she should share the worries of her father and the emperor, handle the affairs of the harem well, and live up to the emperor's favor.
If your father still trusts your daughter-in-law, how about leaving the affairs of the little princess to your daughter-in-law?"
Most people in the world tend to accept the soft rather than the hard. The Supreme Emperor is also a human being, so naturally he will accept this.
He felt a little softer when he saw that Chu Yunxi was speaking sincerely and didn't seem to be lying.
Even though she did not respectfully address Jun Lingyun as emperor, but addressed her directly as Ling Yun, she did not get angry. On the contrary, she felt that her words were sincere.
Indeed, he had watched Jun Lingyun grow up all the way, and so was Chu Yunxi.
If Chu Yunxi had not monopolized the harem, he would still be very satisfied with Chu Yunxi.
The matter of the little princess was not a big deal at all, and there was no need for him to fight with his daughter-in-law and find fault on his own.
"This country is no longer my country. I am just worrying about it. That's all. Let you go and do whatever you want.
However, it is also your responsibility as a queen to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family and have many heirs! Don’t forget it!”
Chu Yunxi lowered her head. If she accepted these words, the warm atmosphere she had just created would probably be wasted.
Jun Lingyun answered:
"Father, are you in good spirits these days?"
When he asked this question, firstly, he was really concerned about the Supreme Emperor's health. Secondly, he was also trying to save Chu Yunxi from the siege.
After all, no parent would be unhappy with the attention of their children.
This happiness may lead to picking up other things and putting them down gently.
