"Princess, what do you think of your second sister-in-law's proposal?"

The familiar person in front of her and the real voice in her ears made Xiao Yunxi dazed for a moment.

Am I really born again?

Looking at the old lady sitting in the main seat with her eyes closed in deep thought, the second sister-in-law next to her looking at the show, the eldest sister-in-law drinking tea indifferently, and the mother-in-law with eyes full of calculations...

"Princess, I'm asking you a question!" Princess Ruan of Zhennan spoke again.

Xiao Yunxi came back to her senses. It seemed that she was reborn at the age of 20, the second year after marrying into the Zhennan Palace. It was the time when her second sister-in-law proposed to select a son and a daughter from the clan and adopt them as her legitimate son and daughter.

"Princess, Jing Ting is the prince of Zhennan, the future Zhennan prince, and the incense cannot be cut off! You have been in the mansion for two years and still have no children. Just listen to your second sister-in-law's advice and raise two children who are compatible with you to add to the joy. Who knows, your own children may follow."

Ruan was very displeased to see Yun Xi lowering her head and keeping silent. She thought that the princess from the royal family was not respectful enough.

Xiao Yunxi raised her head and said, "Mother, the prince has been stationed at the border since his wedding day. He hasn't received any letters in the past two years. Yunxi doesn't have the ability to get pregnant by swallowing the wind! Let alone adopting two children, even if I adopt a dozen children, I can't get pregnant unless the prince returns to the capital!"

"Besides, the Crown Prince is in his prime, and I am also young. No one can predict what will happen in the future. Now that the adopted son has taken the title of eldest son and eldest daughter, how will the throne be inherited and the family property be distributed in the future?"

Everyone in Kyoto knows that on the wedding day, Prince Lu Jingting of Zhennan Palace ran to the border without even entering the bridal chamber, making her a huge joke!

Ruan looked embarrassed. She turned to look at the old lady and said with a smile, "I am also anxious. Your second sister-in-law said that there is a pair of twin brothers and sisters in the family. They are five or six years old. The boy Lu Yiming is lively and clever, and the girl Lu Pingting is quiet and cute. They were brought to me two days ago and they are very cute."

Xiao Yunxi remained silent, her eyes full of icy coldness.

In her previous life, she chose this pair of twin brothers and sisters, registered them under her name, and treated them as her legitimate sons and daughters.

In order to educate them and make them successful, she risked her reputation and ran to the emperor to beg for mercy, so that they could be placed in the Shangshu Room to study with great scholars together with the princes and princesses.

They are also quite capable. Lu Yiming is both literary and martial, and is known as the leader of the four young masters of Kyoto. Lu Pingting is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is ranked in the top ten of the Kyoto noble ladies list.

But she always remembered how cruel and heartless this brother and sister were!

In his previous life, Lu Yiming was obsessed with the courtesan in a brothel, and even threatened to marry her. In order to marry the so-called most talented man in the capital, Lu Pingting secretly had an affair with someone and got pregnant.

She sent people to investigate and found out that the courtesan was sent by the emperor uncle to get close to Lu Yiming because he was worried about the Zhennan Palace.

At that time, she was afraid that something might happen to the Lu family, so she eliminated the courtesan. Not only did Lu Yiming hate her to the core, but she also lost the favor of her uncle, the emperor.

The most talented man in the capital was just a pretty face, but in reality he was a fool. He was a playboy and had many dirty diseases.

How could she bear to see her children, whom she had raised with such care, being deceived? She wanted to persuade them to wake up. Finally, she asked the Queen Mother to arrange a marriage for them, one of them married a noble lady from a high-ranking family, and the other married a son from a noble family.

She worked so hard and thought only of their own good, but in the end, when she was bedridden, it was difficult for them to even see her.

Even before her death, she was still thinking about how they could settle down and live a good life.

"Yiming, Pingting, listen to what mother said. A formal marriage is for a virtuous woman, and a lady from a noble family is for a good character. That courtesan and the so-called number one talent are simply -"

"Mother, do you know that she is pregnant with my child!" Lu Yiming said hatefully.

Xiao Yunxi felt heartbroken when she saw the hatred in her adopted son's eyes.

"Brother, you are asking unnecessary questions. What mother wants is the glory and status of a princess. We are not her biological children. We are just tools for her to gain a good reputation for herself!"

"We studied hard, practiced needlework, and played the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, all for your honor! You have the honor, but we are exhausted. Why? A mother like you should die early!"

Xiao Yunxi's eyes were full of confusion, and she choked up as she said, "Although I am not your biological mother, I have raised you for so many years, and you actually blame and hate me to this extent!"

"Mother?! How dare you!"

Lu Yiming laughed sarcastically: "If it weren't for you, how could our family be separated for so many years? How could my biological mother be a princess and suffer outside? You took advantage of your power to bully others, which is why we can't reunite. Go to hell!"

"That's right, you not only usurped the throne, but you are also extremely stupid! At this point, don't you know where you are wrong?"

"I'm wrong?"

Xiao Yunxi felt a fishy-sweet taste in her throat.

She looked at her children with disgust on their faces, and her heart was filled with despair!

Who is their biological mother? Is she the distant cousin of the King of Zhennan, Lu Jingting, who is said to have a humble background and no one to rely on? !

No wonder the Zhennan Palace, which has always attached great importance to blood inheritance, would let her adopt the clan's heirs as the legitimate son or daughter.

She naively thought that this was the compensation from the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion!

It was all a scam. They wanted her, a princess of noble birth, to raise the children of a lowly concubine. What a good plot!

It's ridiculous, really ridiculous: after so many years of hard work, in the end, my husband is someone else's, my son and daughter are someone else's, and I've been a stumbling block to others all my life.

Xiao Yunxi was so angry that she almost died.

"Princess? Princess? What's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Li, the eldest lady of the Zhennan Palace, asked with concern in her eyes.

Xiao Yunxi took a deep breath and tried to suppress the resentment in her heart, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine."

"Princess, Jing Ting is stationed at the border all year round, and you have no children. Why don't you raise the two children by your side? I will write another letter to Jing Ting, and after he agrees, I will open the ancestral hall..."

"Mother," Xiao Yunxi interrupted her, "If you are so impatient to adopt a child now, it will damage the reputation of the prince. The daughter-in-law is stupid and will not be favored by the prince, but the prince is in his prime after all. If he takes a few more concubines with clean backgrounds, he will naturally have children. Then, if he registers their children under the name of the daughter-in-law, won't it be more legitimate?"

Ruan was stunned for a moment and was speechless. After all, a son born by a concubine was his own son, and was definitely more legitimate than the heirs of the clan. She really didn't know what to say.

“The Crown Prince’s wife is virtuous, but no matter how many concubines he takes, she cannot get pregnant unless the Crown Prince returns to the capital.” The Second Young Master’s wife, Wei, was very anxious when she saw her mother-in-law, Ruan, was silent.

"Second sister-in-law is right." Xiao Yunxi chuckled twice, "However, the prince has guarded the border for Dali and has made great contributions. We should be more careful and protect his reputation. Otherwise, people outside will think that the prince is impotent and can only adopt a child to inherit the bloodline!"

Ruan and Wei looked at each other. How should they respond to this?

"Even if the mother loves the two children, it is not right to take them away from their biological mother. That is an act that will damage one's virtue."

"What are you talking about? I'm not worried that you'll be childless and lonely in your old age!"

"I, your daughter-in-law, naturally understand your mother's good intentions. How about this? Call all the children of the right age in the clan and have them live in the mansion for a while. Carefully select a few children with good character and upbringing to raise. If the prince has many children in the future, they will be the helpers of the Zhennan Palace. If he is the prince...then register them under your name."

"What the princess said is absolutely right. The direct descendants should consider it carefully." The old lady, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and Ruan had no choice but to agree.

Of course, we have to raise the brother and sister and allow them to grow up wildly and unrestrainedly.

Help them marry the courtesan and the jackal, and smear a layer of feces on the faces of the ancestors of the Zhennan Palace!
