Do you know: I am the crown prince

Chapter 2 Do you know
Zhao Xing didn't know how long the period of confusion had lasted. Although he still couldn't speak, his arms and legs had regained some strength and he could move.

The eyes can see some things, but only at close range. Everything far away is still blurry.

That day, when Zhao Xing woke up, he was very happy to find that it was daytime.

He usually wakes up at night and doesn't hear any useful news.

Zhao Xing originally wanted to see if he could hear any useful information, but he was hugged and teased by his adoptive mother, which made him feel helpless.

Speaking of which, he still doesn't know whether his adoptive mother is the queen or the concubine. The palace maids and eunuchs all call her "Niangniang".

It would be fine if it was the queen, after all, his adoptive father treated him with great respect when he was just born. If his mother was a concubine, he would probably be bullied by the queen in the future.

Zhao Xing was held in his mother's arms. He could see his mother's appearance clearly. She was in her early twenties, with a gentle temperament and was very beautiful.

Just when Zhao Xing was feeling sleepy and about to go to bed, he suddenly heard a sentence and instantly perked up.

"Empress, the Queen is here."

Concubine Zhu, no, now it should be Concubine Zhu.

After the birth of the dragon son, the emperor was overjoyed. He not only changed the reign title to Tianyou, but also issued a general amnesty.

Zhu Cairen was also conferred the title of imperial concubine.

Of course, Zhao Xing didn’t know all this yet.

When Concubine Zhu heard that the Queen was coming, she quickly handed Zhao Xing to her wet nurse and hurried to greet her.

Zhao Xing was somewhat disappointed when he learned that his mother was not the queen.

As a prince, he naturally had some thoughts about that position.

But since he didn't have that fate, Zhao Xing accepted it. It was also good to be a leisurely prince.

As for fighting for the throne and rebellion, forget it.

If he had that ability, he wouldn't have been so ordinary in his previous life.

And this was during the Song Dynasty. Although he didn't like the Song Dynasty very much, he had some understanding of it.

The Song Dynasty can be said to be the dynasty with the least rebellion by royal family members, and no one has ever succeeded.

Although Zhao Xing felt a little sleepy, he forced himself to stay asleep, wanting to see what the queen's attitude was towards them mother and son.

After a while, two female voices came in, talking and laughing.

"I heard that Brother Fu doesn't make trouble?"

"My dear lady, Fu'er is not noisy. He only cries when he is hungry."

"Haha, they say children come to collect debts from their parents. It seems that Brother Fu is here to repay his gratitude."

As they talked, they came to the inner hall. After they sat down, the queen smiled and asked, "I wonder if Brother Fu has woken up?"

Fuger is Zhao Xing's nickname, of course he doesn't have a real name yet.

He didn't know why he was given such a nickname, but one time when he woke up, his mother called him that.

"He was still awake when I went to greet the Empress Dowager just now. I'll have someone bring him here for her to see." Concubine Zhu said as she ordered the palace maid to go to the inner room and ask the wet nurse to bring her son out.

After a while, the wet nurse came out holding Zhao Xing to greet them.

The Queen waved her hand and asked, "Has Brother Fu gone to bed?"

The nurse quickly replied, "Your Highness, the prince is still awake."

The queen was delighted when she heard this and said, "Quick, bring it here for me to see."

Upon hearing this, the wet nurse hurriedly sent Zhao Xing over.

The Queen took it carefully and looked at it.

Zhao Xing was also looking at the queen, who was not very pretty.

But this is normal.

The concubines in the harem are definitely more beautiful than each other, but the same is not necessarily true for the queen.

The queen cares more about birth, and appearance comes second.

Of course, if you are too ugly, you can't become a queen.

"Look, he is looking at me." The Queen said happily when she saw Zhao Xing looking at her without blinking.

Zhao Xing saw love and sadness in the queen's eyes, but not the slightest bit of disgust or displeasure.

This made Zhao Xing feel a little strange. When the queen looked down at him, no one could see her eyes.

There is no need to disguise yourself in front of a newborn child.

This shows that the Queen's love is genuine and not fake.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing felt relieved. As long as the queen had no bad intentions towards him, it would be fine. Otherwise, as a concubine's son, his life would be difficult in the future.

Besides, he is still young and can't even speak, let alone be on guard.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xing gave the queen a smile.

It is said that a baby's smile has healing power. Zhao Xing didn't know whether it was true or not, but when the queen saw Zhao Xing's smile, she smiled happily and the sadness in her eyes disappeared.

Zhao Xing acted cute for a while, but finally couldn't hold back and fell asleep.

Upon seeing this, the queen handed Zhao Xing to the wet nurse and asked her to carry him inside.

Seeing that Concubine Zhu seemed to be hesitant to speak, the Queen said with a smile, "Are you worried that the Emperor will hand Fu Ge'er over to me to raise?"

"I dare not!" Concubine Zhu said hurriedly, "The princes and princesses should be taught by the Empress Dowager!"

In ancient times, according to the rules, children born to concubines should be raised by the wife.

Only the principal wife can be called mother, and the biological mother can only be called little mother.

Even animals know how to protect their young, let alone humans.

Concubine Zhu knew that this matter could not be changed, but she had only given birth to her son a month ago, and this was also her first child, so she was naturally reluctant to let him go.

"As a mother, it is common sense that you don't want to separate your flesh and blood. There is no need to say whether you dare or not. I don't want to be the evil person who separates people's flesh and blood, but this is the only son of the emperor. Even if the emperor has other sons in the future, he is the eldest. I am unlucky and have not been able to give birth to a child for the emperor. As the eldest son, Fu Ge'er will inherit the throne in the future. I am willing to hand him over to you to raise him, but the civil and military officials in the court will not agree." said the queen.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhu said with a sad look, "I understand."

"But you don't have to be sad about it. I have no children, so I will naturally treat him as my own. And since we are in the palace, I will not restrict him, and you can also come to see him. I have also talked to the emperor about this, and he will be sent to me after Fu Ge'er is one year old." said the queen.

Concubine Zhu was delighted when she heard this and quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Queen!"

……

As time passed, Zhao Xing felt more and more energetic.

The time spent sleeping has obviously decreased a lot, and the time spent awake has increased.

During this period, more and more concubines from the harem came to visit his mother.

It was difficult for concubines in the harem to leave the palace on a daily basis, and they were not qualified to meet with the officials' wives.

However, they were well-informed and would chat about gossip about Bianjing when they met.

A noble concubine named Rong had come here before, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.

But when Zhao Xing heard some familiar names like Duke of Yingguo's Mansion and Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion from his mother's casual conversation with others, he was stunned.

Could this be the world of Do You Know?

At first Zhao Xing was a little bit unbelieving, but as he heard more and more gossip, he had to believe it.

Judging from the known information, the plot should not have begun yet.

Logically speaking, the current emperor has no son, so he should be happy as the only prince.

After all, no one was competing with him for the throne, and he would definitely become the emperor in the future.

But Zhao Xing couldn't be happy because in the original drama, he, the prince, died young.

Although Zhao Xing has memories of his past life, he can be said to be born with knowledge, and he has also watched the drama "The Story of Minglan" several times.

But he didn't even know how he died, so how could he save himself?
Medical conditions in ancient times were backward, and children born in the royal family would die young. He didn't know any medicine, so what could he do even if he knew it several times?

Originally, because of his status as a prince, Zhao Xing was very happy. He ate well and slept soundly every day.

Now that he knew it was the world of “Do You Know?”, he felt terrible.
