The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

Empress Dowager Yan did not know that Ya Bao and Ze Bao were twins, so she believed that the son of the eldest princess should take his mother's surname and change his surname to Xie.

"It all depends on the Queen Mother."

Mu Tingxue accepted the arrangement with a smile.

Empress Dowager Yan was a smart woman, and she would not ask her daughter who the child's biological father was on this auspicious day: "Since you are the only daughter of the Ai family, you are naturally free. You don't have to think about raising a husband and raising children. How can you be happy?" That’s how you live.”

Mu Tingxue was shocked.

Being able to say these words to her daughter as a mother in the ancient feudal society shows how forward-thinking the Queen Mother Yan is and how she truly loves her daughter.

You don’t have to look after your husband and teach your children, you can be happy as you please.

The subtext is that you don't have to abide by feudal ethics, marry a husband and raise your children. As long as your daughter is happy, let alone find a husband, just find a group of lovers. Even if the father of each child is different, the mother and queen will support you!

Outrageous?

If the gender is reversed, it's not the eldest princess, but the eldest prince. Wouldn't it be outrageous at all?

Empress Dowager Yan was a powerful biological mother. She was willing to despise feudal ethics for the sake of her only daughter, accept the father's unknown Yabao without reservation, and bestow the imperial surname; but the Mu family couldn't do it. No matter how much Mu Zongqi loved the original owner, it was just a thought. The imprisoned lower-class feudal businessman, that's why he sent Ya Bao away directly the moment he was born.

"Come, Wuya, come to the Ai family."

Queen Mother Yan patted her legs, as if she was about to hug her grandson.

Xie Wuya raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother, who was sitting high in the gorgeous nine-phoenix costume and the dragon and phoenix crown. Almost instinctively, a timidity arose in his heart, and he did not dare to go and sit on her lap.

After all, he is a six-year-old child who has not seen much of the world.

"Don't be afraid, go ahead, that's my mother." Mu Tingxue noticed her son's hesitation and touched his head gently.

Xie Wuya was inspired and his courage increased by 300%. He jumped down from the embroidered pier and ran to Queen Mother Yan. He obediently climbed onto her legs and called her affectionately: "Grandma."

Queen Mother Yan looked at her grandson, raised the corners of her lips, and held him in her arms: "Good boy."

No one noticed that there was another person in the shadow beside the door of Qihuang Palace.The man was extremely handsome in his dragon robe and crown. He looked at the family of three in the palace with envy, feeling that he was an outright outsider.

Xie Xuanchen knew that he was adopted.

But the most powerful Queen Mother inside was also her mother in name. In the past five years, she had never hugged her, never called her "son", and never praised him as a "good boy".

Only Tingxue is her daughter, her child.

When the Queen Mother took Xue back to the palace, she went through the Huangji Gate, but when she took herself back to the palace, she went through the Zhuque Gate.There was no sacrifice to the heaven and earth or ancestors in the ancestral temple. They just put a dragon robe on him, and officials from the Ministry of Rites helped to create a genealogy.

He, the emperor, was so insignificant locally.

Xie Xuanchen's eyes darkened completely. He did not go in to disturb the family. He could not suppress the envy in his heart. There was no doubt that he liked Tingxue, but at the same time he was deeply jealous of her. Such complicated emotions were intertwined. Gradually becomes distorted.

"Queen..."

The young emperor murmured softly, as if whispering to his lover.

He didn't know how he walked back to Warm Heart Pavilion, as if he had lost his soul.

"Oh, Your Majesty, why are my ancestors so thinly dressed? How can they survive if they are frozen?" A eunuch in his 20s hurriedly came forward with a leather robe and cloak in his hand.

Xie Xuanchen looked at him confused: "Who are you?"

"My servant Wei Gou'er is the eunuch who has just been transferred from the Supervisor of Ceremonies to Warm Heart Pavilion to serve you." Wei Gou'er very considerately helped the young emperor put on his leather robe and cloak and tied the belt.

Xie Xuanchen didn't respond, just thinking that like the two previous maids, he was also a nail sent by the regent to monitor him.

The loyal eunuch approved the clothes for the little emperor.

Limping, he went to pour hot tea for the little emperor.

Xie Xuanchen asked: "What's wrong with your legs?"

Wei Gou'er scratched his head in embarrassment: "My family is poor. My whole family fled because of the snowstorm. I saw my young son starving to death. I heard someone said that the eunuchs in the palace received two taels of silver every month, so... He just brandished a knife to himself, he had no experience, and he hurt his thigh."

Xie Xuanchen's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

Castrate your own eunuch?Cruel enough!

Under normal circumstances, the eunuchs who enter the palace are all young boys, like Wei Gou'er, who are in their twenties. They have wives and children at home. They have been real men and can kill themselves with a knife in a ruthless manner. It is rare in the world. !

"They didn't lie to the slaves. After entering the palace, they poured chamber pots for two months in the ceremonial prison. Sure enough, they made four taels of silver, and the whole family survived." Wei Gou'er was very happy, "I heard that there is a shortage of people in Nuanxin Pavilion. I signed up to serve as a chamber pot pourer. I knew a few words, so I was chosen over a dozen other illiterate people and got the opportunity to serve Your Majesty."

Xie Xuanchen understood that the elderly eunuch in front of him who wielded a sword from the palace did not belong to any force.Because so far, the servants assigned to serve him are all about his age, fifteen or sixteen years old.

Wei Gou'er was a refugee on the run. In order to let his son have food, he gave up his dignity as a man.

Xie Xuanchen made a decision - he wanted to reuse this eunuch!

"Change your name. If you follow me, it would be indecent to call me a dog. Let's call him Wei Xianggao."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your name!"

In the years that followed, Wei Xianggao lived up to the name given to him by the little emperor. He climbed up step by step. There is no highest, only higher!

After a busy day, Mu Tingxue had just changed out of the heavy princess court dress when she realized that it was already dark outside.

Countless lights were lit on the streets.

"Your Highness, the regent and the young prince are here. They said they would pick you up to go to the Lantern Festival with them." The maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Ok."

Mu Tingxue changed into light casual clothes, still wearing the pair of silver-plated and gold-plated bead-embedded phoenix hairpins on her head.

Got into the Prince Regent's carriage.

Zebao immediately snuggled over, and Yabao was also in the car, with two cute babies on the left and right.

"Your Highness."

Yan Yang sat opposite, staring at her intently, with a smile on his thin lips, and handed over a jade rabbit lantern, "I made it myself and gave it to Your Highness."

Mu Tingxue was embarrassed.

It had only been a day, but the regent had already called himself "subject" in front of her. She was so used to it.

"Thank you."

She accepted the Regent's lantern.

Yan Yang was overjoyed when he saw that she didn't refuse. It is the custom of Yunhuang Kingdom to give lanterns to those you like during the Lantern Festival.This is the first one he has given to the opposite sex in more than 20 years.
