"I don't have any other intentions..."
Afraid that the emperor would misunderstand, Jiang Xinyue looked at him with tears in her eyes and explained: "Maybe I am about to become a mother, so I fell in love with Prince Xi. When I looked at him, I felt as cordial as if I saw the emperor when he was a child." . Concubine’s Xiaoliu is about to be born. Prince Xi can stay here so that he can be a companion to Xiaoliu. I believe he will be a good brother.”
Emperor Xuanwu thought about it and realized that he really wanted to raise Prince Xi to his concubine. Originally, he had planned to give it to Concubine Li. Concubine Li was the favorite in the harem at that time. He had insinuated her several times. Concubine Li was very fond of Prince Xi in her words. He is disdainful, thinking that his birth mother took drugs and was very disgraceful, and is unwilling to accept a son with such a disgraceful background.
He dropped the matter.
Seeing that the emperor showed no objection, Jiang Xinyue struck while the iron was hot: "Prince Xi, are you willing to stay with Concubine Zhen from now on and let Concubine Zhen be your mother-in-law?"
Of course the Western Prince is willing!
But he still quietly glanced at his ancestor, and when he saw his ancestor nodded, he quickly climbed down from the emperor and threw himself into Jiang Xinyue's arms: "I do, I do."
When he said this, his expression was pious and happy, and the emperor was moved when he saw it.
He stood up and touched Little Carrot Ding's head lovingly: "Has Xiaoxi chosen a name?"
Qian Sheng immediately replied: "I haven't given him a name yet, so I dare to ask the Emperor to give him a name."
Naming the prince is what the emperor should do. If he doesn't do it, who else would dare to do it for him?
It is early spring, the sun is shining brightly outside the temple, and the breeze is blowing. Even the inner temples can smell the refreshing fragrance of flowers.
The third prince's name is Shen Mingxuan, the fifth prince's name is Shen Mingsheng, and Prince Naxi...
Emperor Xuanwu thought for a while, and then saw Jiang Xinyue looking at him expectantly, and a word suddenly came to his mind: "My name is Shen Mingman."
Jiang Xinyue immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's choice of the word "Man" and said to the Western Prince: "Your father hopes that your future life will be perfect and you will no longer suffer from the pain of displacement. It is a good name! From now on, my mother-in-law will be called You are so full!"
The Western Prince didn't know what the word "Man" meant, but he knew that with a name, there would be a concubine, so he was very satisfied with his name.
He nodded vigorously and ran happily around Emperor Xuanwu and Jiang Xinyue: "Xiao Man has a father and an emperor and a mother and concubine! Xiao Man has a father and emperor and a mother and concubine!..."
The child's emotions were always displayed on his face, and his joy infected Emperor Xuanwu, who also laughed out loud.
Qian Sheng looked at all this with satisfaction. She was worthy of being the person he personally selected. Empress Zhenbi was indeed kind-hearted and full of love.
This should be what Buddhism says, sow good causes and reap good results.
He believed that he should have died in his previous life and did not meet Empress Zhen, and that Empress Zhen was also killed by a small box in her world.
In this life, he met Empress Zhen, who saved him from dying and allowed his soul to travel through time and space. In that time and space, Concubine Zhen was hit by a small box to save him, so he was saved. The moment he woke up, his soul dragged the soul of Concubine Zhen back with him.
It was like a reincarnation, Zhenbi and him, if any link was missing, this reincarnation would not exist.
If he dies here, the concubine there will also die.
If the concubine there dies, he will die here too.
Or maybe when he died in his previous life, his soul traveled through another world, and Empress Zhenbi saved him, and was brought back by his obsession.
In short, the causal loop is a wonderful thing.
No matter what, Concubine Zhen will be the concubine of the Western Prince from now on.
He will keep this secret in his heart and take it to his grave.
Jiang Xinyue's adoption of Prince Xi did not cause any big reaction. In fact, Prince Xi was from a bad background and was not noticed by everyone at all.
It was just a way for her to show her kindness in front of the emperor. She was about to give birth to a child, could she still treat the Western Prince as her own?
The most pitiable ones are the children.
"Prince Xi, kick the ball over here."
Yan Xinyi had already entered the palace, so Jiang Xinyue asked her to go out with Prince Xi when she had nothing to do.
The child had been bullied too hard before, and she was afraid that he would be mentally unhealthy, so she had to go out more often to breathe fresh air and interact with others and play more games.
At first, Prince Xi was reluctant. He saw the palace maids and eunuchs always hiding behind Yan Xinyi, fearing that they would bully him.
But Zuzu and Aunt Yan encouraged him, and he plucked up the courage to come out.
After more than ten days, he had already begun to run wildly in the west part of the palace.
But he remembered his mother's words and not to play in dangerous places.
Aunt Yan said that his mother-in-law would give birth to his younger brother in a few days, and he would have a companion by then.
"Isn't this the Western Prince? I'm going to pay my respects to the Western Prince!"
Three eunuchs came together and surrounded Shen Mingman who was alone.
"You...you..."
These people were all the people who bullied him and Zuzu in the cold palace.
Looking at the tall and strong bad guys, the Western Prince was so frightened that he fell to the ground, but he still suppressed his fear and shouted angrily: "How outrageous! I am no longer the kid who lets you bully me. I have a mother-in-law." "Father, I am the Western Prince! If you dare to touch a hair on my head, my mother-in-law will not let you go."
"Hey! Do you really think that Empress Zhenbi is sincere in adopting you?"
The group of eunuchs kidnapped him to a remote place: "Don't forget, Concubine Zhen is still pregnant with a child! When her biological child is born, how will she remember you, a bastard?"
"You are the bastard that the emperor does not want. Your own mother has been killed by you. How can Empress Zhen like you? The emperor also loves you for the sake of Empress Zhen. As long as Zhen's child is born , if Concubine Zhen doesn’t want you anymore, you’ll be a wild child again, and the Emperor won’t like you.”
"You guys are talking nonsense!"
Prince Xi's face turned red: "My mother really likes me, you are talking nonsense! I will play with my brother, my mother will not let me go."
"Prince Xi...Prince Xi, where are you? Come out quickly, it's going to rain. Concubine Zhen asked your servant to call you back."
Prince Xi loves to play hide-and-seek with others recently, and the palace people in Hexi Palace dote on him. He seems to want to make up for the childhood fun he missed before, and enjoys the joy of hiding and being found by many people.
Yan Xinyi picked up a ball, and in the blink of an eye, the Western Prince was hiding again.
"Boom——"
A thunder struck in the sky above the Royal Garden, and several young eunuchs came out of the secret place laughing and joking, holding a warm jade pendant in their hands and shining it into the sun.
"Stop!"
Yan Xinyi shouted: "Catch them!"
