After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

"Okay!" Zheng Xiyan said with a faint smile.

Xiao Xuanchen held her hand and said gently, "Go to sleep for a while! I will stay here with you."

"Ah."

The wet nurse carried Xiao Chengyi away, and Xiao Xuanchen stayed by her side until she fell asleep, then he left the bedroom.

Zheng Xiyan just closed her eyes, but she didn't really fall asleep. When she heard his footsteps leaving, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at his departing back. Gradually, she couldn't hold on any longer...

Xiao Xuanchen left the bedroom, and Xiao Chengji ran towards him, "Father, Father~"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuanchen squatted down. He always had complicated feelings towards his eldest son.

"Didn't father say that mother would give birth to a little sister? Why did it become a little brother?" Xiao Chengji is small, but he is very obsessed with his sister.

Xiao Xuanchen touched the back of his head, "Jier, don't you like your brother?"

Xiao Chengji shook his little head and said weakly: "No, it's just that Ji'er wants a little sister."

"Ji'er has a younger sister! Ji'er, have you forgotten? You have three younger sisters." Xiao Xuanchen said with a smile.

Xiao Chengji raised his head, his face slightly wrinkled, "But I have rarely seen them."

Of the three princesses, one is raised in Shoukang Palace, and the other two are raised in Shouan Palace. Xiao Chengji is still young, and Zheng Xiyan seldom takes him out, so except for meeting them a few times at palace banquets, they rarely meet at other times.

Xiao Xuanchen smiled and said to him: "Ji'er, if you miss them, just ask the palace maids to take you to Shoukang Palace and Shou'an Palace often. Your sisters are all there."

"Okay!" Although Xiao Chengji was young, he knew that the sister born by his mother was different from his three sisters.

"Ji'er is your older brother. You must protect your younger brothers and sisters in the future, okay?" Xiao Xuanchen looked at him. After all, he was his son and he had high hopes for him.

"Ji'er knows and will protect my brothers and sisters well." Xiao Chengji nodded in agreement.

"Ji'er is so good."

The next morning, Princess Chengyang entered the palace.

Xiao Xuanchen had already gone to attend the morning court. When Princess Chengyang arrived, Zheng Xiyan had not woken up yet.

"Greetings, Princess." Biluo and Shuangning stepped forward and saluted.

"Don't be so polite." Princess Chengyang looked very proud. She had been worried all day yesterday and had to go to the palace early this morning.

"Thank you, Princess."

Biluo replied: "Princess, the Queen hasn't woken up yet."

"Let Her Majesty sleep a little longer. I'm going to go see the Third Prince." Princess Chengyang said.

"Yes! I will ask the wet nurse to bring the third prince here." Shuang Ning walked out immediately.

Xiao Xuanchen announced to the public that the "son" born to Xi Muyao died young and would not be ranked.

"it is good!"

After a while, the wet nurse brought Xiao Chengyi over, and Princess Chengyang happily took him, "Ouch~"

"He's so fair and tender, as fair as when the queen was just born." Princess Chengyang was very happy. Having two sons made her status more secure.

"The princess is right." Shuang Ning also laughed.

Princess Chengyang looked at them with a smile on her face and said, "You all have worked hard."

"Your Highness, you are too polite. This is what we should do." Biluo said quickly.

"I feel relieved to have you by Her Majesty's side. You have made an indelible contribution to the safe birth of the third prince by Her Majesty." Princess Chengyang brought many things to the palace this time, including some for them.

In addition, she had already sent people to deliver a lot of things to their families yesterday.

"Thank you, Princess." Shuang Ning knelt down and saluted.

Half an hour later, Zheng Xiyan woke up, and Princess Chengyang entered the bedroom, "The queen is awake."

"Mom is here." Zheng Xiyan had a good sleep and felt not as tired as yesterday.

"Hurry up and lie down. Don't move." Princess Chengyang helped her lie down. She sat on the bed, took her hand, and said distressedly: "My precious daughter has suffered so much."

Zheng Xiyan shook her head gently, "Don't worry, mother. I'm fine."

"It is said that having many children means more blessings. As the queen, you cannot have only one prince. But childbirth is a test of hell for women, mother..." Princess Chengyang's voice was a little choked with sobs.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'll be back to normal after a while." Zheng Xiyan held her hand tightly. How could she not know this? Giving birth to children in succession would take too much toll on the body.

She will protect everyone she wants to protect, but in her heart, the most important person is always herself.

If she were to start over again in this life, she would definitely take good care of herself.

"Take good care of yourself. Now you have two legitimate sons. Teach them well and keep them safe and healthy. That's enough." A mother suffers a lot when she has many children. She herself has suffered so much, so naturally she doesn't want her daughter to suffer too much.

"I know." Zheng Xiyan's eyes were filled with tears. She suddenly hugged her and whispered, "Mother!"

"What's wrong?" Princess Chengyang patted her back to comfort her.

Zheng Xiyan smiled, "I just miss you so much, I want you to stay with me more."

Princess Chengyang stroked her hair and said, "You are so old, why are you still like a child?"

"No matter how old I am, am I not still my mother's daughter, right?" The expression on Zheng Xiyan's face was a mixture of crying and laughing.

"Yes! You will always be your mother's sweetheart."

"I suddenly feel a little tired." Zheng Xiyan really felt tired.

Princess Chengyang knew in her heart that being a queen was not an easy job, and said distressedly: "Being a queen must be tiring. If you are really tired, just relax."

"But mother, I can't relax."

"My daughter has suffered so much." Princess Chengyang said with concern.

"I want to go home with my mother, but I can't even leave the palace." The grievance in her heart completely burst out at this moment. She didn't want to cry, but tears still fell.

Princess Chengyang felt very distressed and patted her back gently, "Sometimes mother wonders if she shouldn't have let you enter the palace. Being the queen may seem like a glorious life, with you ruling the country, but you will be trapped in this palace for the rest of your life."

"Now, after all, you are still trapped here."

Zheng Xiyan choked up, "Mother, this is the path I chose myself. I will not let you down, nor will I let father and grandfather down."

"You have always been a strong child. Your mother believes in you, as do your father, your grandfather, the entire Duke Zheng's Mansion, and the Prince Chu's Mansion."

"Ah."

After a while, Biluo brought in breakfast. Princess Chengyang wiped her tears, took the porridge from Biluo's hand, and fed her, "Have breakfast first."

"it is good!"

Zheng Xiyan was indeed hungry at this moment, and drank two bowls in a row.

The wet nurse brought Xiao Chengyi over. Zheng Xiyan took the child and held him in her arms. "He doesn't look like me, but more like Your Majesty." Zheng Xiyan said unhappily.

Princess Chengyang smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with being like Your Majesty. The child is still so young, and it will be fine once he grows up."

"Ah."

Zheng Xiyan reached out and touched his little face. "You were born by the Queen Mother, so you have to look more like her. Do you understand?"

Princess Chengyang smiled and said, "Listen to your mother, otherwise she will be unhappy."

At this time, Xiao Chengji ran in from outside, "Mother, mother~"

"Ji'er is here."

Xiao Chengji ran to the bedside, and Princess Chengyang picked him up, "Ji'er, do you still remember your grandmother?"

"Yes, Ji'er remembers."

"So nice."

"Mother, are you feeling better?"

"Why did you ask so?"

"The nurse said that you felt a lot of pain when you gave birth to your brother. Do you still feel pain?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Zheng Xiyan shook her head with relief.
