Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Yun Xi looked at Mi Bao's red eyes and tear-stained face with heartache, and her heart ached.

She stroked Mibao's hair gently and coaxed him softly: "Be good, baby, don't cry, mother is here..." As she spoke, she patted Mibao's back.

As time went by, Mibao's crying gradually became quieter and finally stopped.

Her little body trembled slightly because of sobbing, but she still snuggled tightly in her mother's arms, as if looking for a sense of security.

Yun Xi felt that Mi Bao's emotions had calmed down, and continued to comfort him softly: "Don't be afraid, baby, mother will protect you..."

Her voice was soft and warm, full of the power of motherly love.

Gradually, Mibao, who was tired of crying, finally relaxed and fell asleep in his mother's arms.

Her breathing became steady and a look of peace appeared on her face.

Yun Xi carefully adjusted the posture so that Mibao could sleep more comfortably.

He also asked someone to bring a warm, wet towel and carefully wiped the tears from his daughter's face.

Looking at her daughter's beautiful and innocent face while she was sleeping, Yun Xi felt a strong love and determination in her heart. No matter what difficulties she would encounter in the future, she would do her best to protect this lovely child.

"My lady, will you please hand the princess over to me?"

Seeing that the queen was still holding her, the maidservant next to her couldn't help but step forward and stretch out her hand to ask for help. The little princess was quite fat, and the queen was thin. She was afraid that she couldn't bear it after holding her for so long.

Yun Xi shook her head: "No need."

My daughter is very sad now, so I'd better hold her in my arms and take care of her, even if I'm tired.

If her daughter came and found that she was not held by her mother, the fragile little girl would probably burst into tears and cry non-stop. Yun Xi couldn't bear to let her daughter cry again.

The little guy's eyes are swollen from crying so much! His voice is also hoarse from crying. How pitiful!

When Xiao Chenyi comes back, I must punish him severely!

How could you make your daughter so sad?

After holding her daughter for another half an hour and seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Yun Xi gently put her on her bed.

She gently took off her daughter's shoes and pulled up the thin satin quilt to cover her.

Then he lowered the curtain to block out the light from outside.

He walked to the tea table on the side and sat down, asking everyone else to leave. He then called Xiaoqing over and asked, "Xiaoqing, go and find out what happened. What's the result?"

Xiaoqing's face was solemn:

"Your Majesty, I have inquired and found out that this news did come from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is said that the Emperor has issued an order to select beautiful women from all over the country to fill the harem."

After hearing Xiaoqing's words, Yunxi's heart sank suddenly. She didn't expect that the news was actually true. Although she knew she should accept this fact, she still felt a sharp pain deep in her heart.

At this moment, Mi Bao, who was thought to be asleep, suddenly started crying again on the bed: "Mother, I don't want my father to take a concubine, I don't want it!"

Her voice was filled with deep fear and anxiety, which made Yun Xi's heart tighten.

Yun Xi hurried to the bedside and gently stroked Mi Bao's head, trying to comfort her: "Mi Bao, don't be afraid, mother is here."

However, Mibao hugged her arms tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Mother, I don't want other women to snatch my father away from me, and I don't want my father to marry another woman!" Mi Bao sobbed, his young face full of helplessness and grievance.

Yun Xi hugged Mi Bao in her arms and coaxed her softly, "Don't worry, Mi Bao, no matter what happens, your mother will always be with you."

Although Mibao is young, there must be a reason why she is so sad.

Yun Xi guessed that one of the children that Mi Bao interacted with had told her about the harm done to him by his father's concubine.

She may have psychological trauma.

Whether to take a concubine or not, who will be the concubines, when to take a concubine... Yun Xi knew nothing about these.

She couldn't make any promises now, so she could only persuade Mibao: "Father loves Mibao, just like mother. No matter when or where, Mibao will always be the first in your father's heart."

But Mibao wouldn't listen at all. She just kept crying and expressing her dissatisfaction and worries.

Mi Bao's appearance made Yun Xi very worried.

She was afraid that Mibao would become dizzy and faint again.

This matter can't be delayed any longer. She must find Emperor Xiao Chenyi as soon as possible to find out what is going on.

"Xiaoqing, go and ask around. Why did the emperor suddenly issue an order to select a concubine? Was there someone in the court urging her to do so? Who urged her to do so?"

She and Xiao Chenyi have always had a good relationship. If he wanted to hide the talent show from her, it would prove that Xiao Chenyi's feelings for her were all acted out.

"Yes," Xiaoqing quickly turned and left.

After two full hours, Xiaoqing finally came back.

"Your Majesty, I have found out everything. The Emperor is selecting concubines because of pressure from the ministers. The ministers believe that the Emperor has just ascended the throne and the harem is empty, which is not conducive to the continuation of the royal bloodline. So they all suggested that the Emperor select concubines to enrich the harem."

Xiaoqing ran around a lot this time. She was sweaty and her hair was wet.

Yun Xi felt a little relieved after hearing the news. It was good that the emperor did not choose a concubine voluntarily.

At least, the emperor's feelings towards her have not changed, but he feels helpless when facing pressure from his ministers.

But it has only remained unchanged temporarily.

Yun Xi lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said to Xiao Qing: "Xiao Qing, please help me get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to write a letter."

After hearing this, Xiaoqing nodded immediately, turned around and left the room, and came back after a while with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

She gently placed these things on the table, then stood quietly aside waiting for Yun Xi's instructions.

Yun Xi stood up and walked to the desk to sit down, gently picked up the pen, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she began to write, stroke by stroke, writing down the words from the bottom of her heart.

In the letter, she expressed her understanding to the emperor in a sincere and gentle tone.

She understood that as the king of a country, he shouldered enormous responsibilities and pressures, but at the same time she also hoped that the emperor could understand the situation of her and her son.

She then went on to describe in detail the concerns she had with Mibao.

They were worried that the emperor would ignore the children's feelings because of the selection of concubines, which would make the children feel uneasy.

Mibao has just moved into the palace. The little kid is still unfamiliar with everything here and is filled with fear.

If many women with ill intentions suddenly entered the palace at this time, Mi Bao would definitely be frightened. Therefore, Yun Xi begged the emperor to consider this matter carefully and not make a decision easily.

Finally, Yun Xi once again emphasized her respect for the emperor and expressed her willingness to follow the emperor's arrangements.

What Yunxi didn't write down was:

Her obedience was not in conflict with her leaving. She would definitely take her daughter away, and as for her son, she encouraged him to occupy the position of crown prince and not give in.

Ten years later, she dumped me! Then she brought Mibao back to the palace and lived happily with her son and daughter-in-law.

Everything is so perfect!

After the letter was written, Yun Xi asked Xiao Qing to find a reliable eunuch to deliver the letter to the emperor.
