Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

"Why did the emperor go to the cold palace?"

The Queen Mother held her chin and squinted her eyes, enjoying the maid's pinching of her legs.

Cui Hai said: "The little eunuch said that the emperor went out to walk the dog and stopped by the cold palace."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said casually: "What's there to report? Who doesn't know about the Emperor's precious dog?"

Cui Hai lowered his head and said, "I heard that children's laughter came from inside."

"Oh? Didn't you hear it wrong? Where did the child in the cold palace come from?"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes again.

Cui Hai said: "I don't know, but Xiao Xuanzi also returned to Leng Palace. I also heard that the emperor ordered the Leng Palace to be sealed a while ago. In the past two days, he opened the sealed palace gate and rewarded him." Learned a lot of things.”

The Queen Mother immediately sat up straight.

"Sealed the palace gate? Rewarded something? What were the rewards?"

Cui Hai thought for a while and said: "Chicken, duck, fish, and a ewe."

The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly.

ewe?

Is there really a child in the cold palace?

Otherwise, why reward the ewe?

"Let's go and inquire more about who lives in the cold palace? And why did the emperor give the ewe to him?"

"Yes, the slave will do it now."

Cui Hai responded and walked out.

The Queen Mother also dismissed the maids around her, leaving only Nanny Liu alone.

"Does the Emperor already know the identity of Xiao Xuanzi? The child in the cold palace..."

Aunt Liu stretched out her hand to support the Queen Mother, thought carefully for a moment and said: "The mistress in the cold palace has been in the palace for a year, and she had a one-night affair with the emperor before..."

The Queen Mother suddenly turned back. "You mean, that child is actually the Yin family's?"

Aunt Liu said: "If there is a child, it can only be the Yin family's. How can the emperor tolerate the children of other palace people? Not to mention the children of the palace people, even if they are dirty and disruptive to the palace, it is a serious crime. I'm afraid they will have been killed long ago." Executed."

The Queen Mother was shocked.

"You mean that the emperor already knows the identity of Xiao Xuanzi and knows that the child is his?"

Aunt Li quickly lowered her head. "This slave is just guessing."

The Queen Mother frowned immediately.

"If this is the case, wouldn't the Ai family have been tricked by Xiao Xuanzi? She even has a child, so how can she help the Ai family deal with Ye Jingyu, this bastard?"

The Queen Mother looked gloomy and slapped the table.

Aunt Liu said hurriedly: "Everything is just speculation. Before the truth is known, we cannot make any conclusions."

The Queen Mother looked out the window coldly.

"Then let people investigate quickly. We must find out this matter. If Xiao Xuanzi dares to deceive the Ai family, the Ai family will definitely make her pay the price..."

Leng Gong.

Yin Qingxuan has already finished her meal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of me. The dumplings are still hot. Your Majesty, please have some."

She reached out and took Xiao Nanfeng, but Xiao Nanfeng held on to Ye Jingyu's shirt and refused to let go. His little head was pressed tightly against Ye Jingyu's body. His little appearance was so cute that it made people feel heartbroken.

"Nan Feng, come to dad quickly."

Yin Qingxuan pulled his little feet, trying to attract Xiao Nanfeng's attention.

Xiao Nanfeng opened his eyes like black grapes and stared at Ye Jingyu intently. His mouth opened wide, and then he uttered two vague words.

"Daddy~"

Ye Jingyu chuckled. "You admitted your mistake, that is your father."

Then he asked curiously: "Can such a young child be able to speak?"

Yin Qingxuan explained: "Most children can't speak until they are one year old. My son is relatively smart. Although he is nearly three months old, he can occasionally come up with a few words."

Of course, these are all the effects of spiritual springs.

Even Yin Qingxuan felt like she had been reborn after drinking it, not to mention Xiao Nanfeng who used Lingquan to make milk powder and take a bath every day.

Ye Jingyu suddenly remembered that his mother-in-law said that he could not speak until he was more than ten months old. This child was indeed a miracle.

"If he is a talented person, he should stay in the harem and train him well. When he reaches the age of enlightenment, I will find him a good teacher."

After listening to Ye Jingyu's words, Yin Qingxuan suddenly broke into sweat.

He laughed dryly and said: "Xiao Nanfeng is just a commoner. The emperor really doesn't need to spend too much thought on him. Since the emperor has rewarded the slave with a house, the slave can just send him and his sister to the house. If the emperor is merciful, he can I have promised to be a slave and bring Nanny Li with me."

Ye Jingyu pondered for a moment and said: "The master of Leng Palace has gone. Your sister and Nanny Li can leave the palace. There is no need for the child. I was very happy when I saw Xiao Nanfeng, so I let him stay in the palace. I I will think of an excuse to let him stay in an open and honest manner."

"Your Majesty..." Yin Qingxuan couldn't help but feel anxious.

Ye Jingyu chuckled: "No need to thank me, it's settled."

Yin Qingxuan could only keep her mouth shut. If an ordinary courtier's child was appreciated by the emperor, he would definitely feel that his ancestors had accumulated virtues for eight lifetimes, not to mention that he was still a eunuch. If he said too much, Ye Jingyu would be suspicious, so he could only thank the saint first. .

"no."

Ye Jingyu sat on the stone bench with his child in his arms, protecting Xiao Nanfeng's waist with one hand and picking up the chopsticks with the other. It was very natural.

Yin Qingxuan quickly removed the bowl she had used and filled Ye Jingyu with soy sauce and vinegar again.

On a hot day, the dumplings are not cold.

Ye Jingyu ate a few dumplings, and Xiao Nanfeng suddenly became excited again. Two small hands came to grab his chopsticks, and Yin Qingxuan took the opportunity to hug the child over.

"Your Majesty, eat slowly."

The temptation of delicious food is hard for anyone to resist.

Ye Jingyu is particularly fond of these stuffed buns and dumplings.

It's just that the little slave is too busy these days, and Ye Jingyu doesn't have the heart to let him do it.

"What are you planning to eat in Leng Gong tomorrow?"

Ye Jingyu put down his chopsticks and asked with a faint smile.

What do you mean, why do you still want to come here to eat?

But he asked knowingly: "I wonder what the emperor wants to eat?"

Ye Jingyu thought for a moment and asked, "Can your sister make steamed buns?"

"meeting."

"Then let's make steamed buns. I think the noodles used to make steamed buns are very delicious."

Yin Qingxuan lowered his head and said, "Yes, I obey."

Ye Jingyu smiled and said: "This is not an order, you can regard it as a request."

Yin Qingxuan was horrified to hear that Ye Jingyu was really scary like this.

He said hurriedly: "I don't dare."

Ye Jingyu stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Nanfeng's cheek.

"It's getting late, so I'm going back."

"This slave sends you to your Majesty."

Yin Qingxuan bowed slightly.

Ye Jingyu waved his hand and slowly walked out of the palace.

Xiao Nanfeng stared at Ye Jingyu with his big black eyes. When he disappeared from sight, he flattened his mouth and burst into tears.

Seeing Xiao Nanfeng holding her mouth, feeling extremely aggrieved, Yin Qingxuan quickly coaxed in a low voice: "Don't cry, you can see that bastard tomorrow, and dad will get you something fun later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nanfeng suddenly fell on Yin Qingxuan's body and burst into tears.
