Emperor Wen felt so distressed when he saw Zimu crying while hugging Concubine Yue's waist. After the child turned one year old, Concubine Yue often took the child to the palace to stay with him for a period of time.

"Zi Mu, be good, don't cry yet. Tell Aunt Yue what wronged you?"

Concubine Yue never cared about her children. The several children she gave birth to were all taught by Empress Xuan. Only Zimu could be said to have been taught by her personally.

"Aunt Yue, I, I feel so uncomfortable..."

"Hurry, Lian Medical Officer, Li Ai, go to Changqiu Palace and call my sister." When Concubine Yue heard the little girl in her arms crying until her voice became hoarse, she was suddenly at a loss.

Wen Zirui, who was supposed to scold Zimu for not knowing the rules, was a little anxious now. Pei Yu had just reported to him that Zimu had put on a big show at Ge's house in the afternoon.

Less than an hour after Pei Yu returned, the little girl ran into the palace crying.

Ling Buzhi, who was invited by Emperor Wen to have dinner together, was stunned. He knew something about He Zimu's personality even if others didn't.

This princess was more favored than the princesses and princes from Changqiu Palace and Yongle Palace. The prince was fine, and even the princesses from the two palaces who had always been jealous of each other had no objection to this. Not only that, they treated her better than their own siblings.

So Ling Buyi didn't believe that anything could make He Zimu cry like this.

He turned around and looked at his good brother, and found that he was also staring at the little girl with worried eyes.

Just when Ling Buyi was about to say that the Third Prince's current demeanor was worthless, his eyes were attracted by the little girl who had just entered the room and also had red eyes.

"Zi Mu, don't cry first. Whose girl is this that you kidnapped?"

The princes and princesses in the palace were taught by the empress since childhood. Even if the children of the two palaces quarreled with each other in private, they all respected Emperor Wen as their father.

Especially after Zimu Shichang, who had just turned one year old, came to live in the palace, the only thing that the princesses and princes in the palace would fight for was whoever held Zimu more, whoever gave him a snack if he ate more...

Shao Shang was shocked by Zimu's sudden action and was at a loss what to do. He was originally following Yuechan and Yuchan in a daze. When he heard his sister crying, his eyes instantly turned red and he shed tears silently.

A group of people were busy comforting two little girls who were crying uncontrollably. This was the scene that Empress Xuan saw when she arrived at Yongle Palace.

When the fifth princess of Queen Xuan saw this, she was so angry that she thought her younger sister had never been here when she was a child, but now she was crying like this. She must have suffered such a great injustice.

The fifth princess turned her head and saw a younger sister who was also surrounded by a group of people and being comforted.

Everyone in Yongle Palace was busy. The Fifth Princess ran to the Third Princess who was anxious but couldn't squeeze into the crowd and asked quietly: "What happened to Third Sister Zimu? Who is that little girl?"

Shao Shang was originally in poor health, and over the years she had come to understand that her mother might really not like or care about her.

But the letter sent by Xiao Yuanyi today directly stated that not only was she left behind and tortured by her father and mother, but her mother also never cared about her life or death.

Shao Shang, who had just recovered from a serious illness, fainted. Zi Mu was also shocked when she fainted. Fortunately, the medical officer happened to be there, otherwise the Yongle Palace would have been even more chaotic.

……

Concubine Yue and Empress Xuan were both filled with heartache as they looked at the little girl lying on the bed. They heard the doctor say that her life span would be affected and that she should be taken good care of.

"Whose child is this little girl Zimu? She can't really be your sister."

After the medical officer left, Yue Heng finally had time to ask some questions.

Everyone in the capital knows that General He's whole family is daughter-slaves. If he and Madam He hadn't often been away on military campaigns and felt sorry for their daughter Zimu, they wouldn't have been able to spend most of their time in the palace for so many years.

Zimu was relieved after being sure that Shao Shang fainted because he was angry and too young to know how to vent. He knelt solemnly in front of Emperor Wen, Empress Xuan and Concubine Yue for the first time.

"Zi Mu, please stand up and talk. Yue Chan, please help your princess stand up."

Emperor Wen liked Zimu more than his own children. This might be because the Qinghe Cui family and the He family, who passed down the family tradition of teaching and educating, were often on expeditions outside.

Later on, he really fell in love with this precocious little girl, especially after she entered the palace, his several troublesome daughters stopped making trouble.

Therefore, the two people that Emperor Wen trusts and loves the most in the entire palace are Zimu and Ling Buyi. There is no need to consider the checks and balances in the court, and they will not affect the country.

Therefore, Emperor Wen gave his purest fatherly love to his adopted son Ling Buyi, and Zimu also happened to get a part of it. If He Yong had not stopped him, Emperor Wen might have had not only an adopted son, but also Zimu, an adopted daughter.

Emperor Wen thought about how when he first told He Yong about his idea of ​​adopting Zimu as his adopted daughter, He Yong scolded him in front of a group of generals from the Zonglong clan, and his words implied that he was afraid that his own daughter would do favors for others.

Not only did that group of generals not speak for him, but when he went back to complain to Concubine Yue, Concubine Yue told him that he deserved it.

"Uncle Huang, Aunt Xuan, Aunt Yue, help me."

The three people in the upper position didn't know what to do when Zimu cried for help.

……

"I praised Xiao Yuanyi several times for her righteousness in abandoning her newborn daughter to go to the battle with Cheng Shi to support the lonely city. Who would have thought that she would have such thoughts? She is really unworthy of being a mother."

Ling Buzhi's mind was drawn to the word "isolated city".

From Zi Mu's words just now and some of the unspeakable deeds of the three families of Cheng, Xiao and Ge, we could roughly piece together a fact.

"It turns out that there is a little girl in this world who was abandoned by her parents because of the old story in Gucheng, and she was left in the capital and suffered a lot..."

As Ling Buyi thought about this, his eyes involuntarily looked at Shao Shang who was lying on the bed, and suddenly he felt a sense of sympathy.

"Since Xiao Yuanyi is devoted to helping the Xiao family, and even left her daughter at home to suffer in order to gain the right to manage the household, such a person is not worthy of being a mother to our daughter."

Yue Heng snorted coldly and handed the letter in his hand to Emperor Wen and continued: "Since no one in the Cheng family can register the daughter, and General He and Sister Cui are also well-known for loving their daughters, then let's give Shao Shang to the He family."

"Sister Ah Heng is right. I feel sorry for this child." When Empress Xuan was young, she had to live with her younger brother under someone else's roof and had never suffered such harsh treatment.

"Well, since the child is registered in the He family's household registration and genealogy, it's fine to give him to the He family."

"What about the Xiao family? Zimu went to the Ge family today. The Ge family was sensible and didn't use Shao Shang's things. They will send them back to the He family tomorrow. What will the Xiao family do with them?"

After listening to Concubine Yue's words, Emperor Wen thought for a long time but could not figure out how to deal with the Xiao family. After all, the Xiao family members did not serve as officials in the court, and they were afraid that a sudden attack would cause gossip among the court officials.

At this time, Ling Buyi nudged his good brother with his arm, letting him look at the red eyes of the little girl from the He family, motioning him to go up and perform.
