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

Zhonghua Palace

Concubine De was holding the Fourth Prince in her arms. The little guy was soft and cute, sleeping quietly in her arms. Her eyes were full of the light of maternal love and her joy was beyond words.

Grandma Ru looked at this scene and also showed a warm smile on her face: "I haven't seen the queen laugh so happily in a long time. It's true that people are in high spirits when they are happy."

Jinluo also said happily, "Madam is right. The Queen gave birth to the fourth prince safely. His Majesty and the Queen Mother are very happy. The Queen's rank was immediately promoted. She is now the Defei."

Concubine De gently stroked her son's face. She didn't care about the promotion of her position, but when she saw her son in her arms, her heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness: "With Jing'er, this palace really doesn't ask for anything."

Madam Ru nodded and agreed, "Your Majesty is right. With the Fourth Prince, you have the greatest support in the harem. Your life will get better and better in the future."

"Yes!" Defei sighed softly, her eyes full of expectation and happiness.

At this time, the voice of the eunuch in front of the emperor sounded outside the palace: "Your Majesty has arrived, and the Queen has arrived."

Concubine De was slightly startled, then stood up and prepared to greet her. Nanny Ru and Jinluo also hurried forward to help her tidy up her appearance.

Zheng Xiyan followed Xiao Xuanqi, and the two walked into the bedroom one after the other. When Concubine De saw them, she was about to get out of bed to salute, but Xiao Xuanchen hurried over to stop her and said gently, "Don't be so polite, you just gave birth, you need to rest well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine De looked at Xiao Xuanchen gratefully.

Xiao Xuanchen looked at the Fourth Prince in her arms, his eyes also showing some fondness, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, giving birth to such a lovely prince for me."

"I'm not tired, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty." Defei replied with a smile, her eyes full of happiness and satisfaction.

Defei looked at Xiao Xuanchen with eyes full of gratitude and joy. She gently rocked the Fourth Prince in her arms, as if she wanted this little life that had just come into the world to feel the warmth of her father.

Zheng Xiyan was standing aside, looking at the joy that Xiao Xuanchen could hardly conceal in his eyes, and she also showed a gentle smile. She said softly, "No wonder my mother said that the fourth prince looks very much like Your Majesty. After seeing him today, I found that he is indeed similar to Your Majesty in spirit and temperament."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen turned his gaze to Concubine De and confirmed with a smile, "This child is indeed the most like me in his eyes and eyebrows. He is the most like me among all my sons."

De Fei was delighted, but immediately noticed Zheng Xiyan and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. How dare Jing'er be compared with Your Majesty?"

Zheng Xiyan gently waved her hand and said calmly, "Your Majesty is right. Concubine De does not need to be so modest. I also think that the Fourth Prince is very similar to Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Concubine De smiled with relief and said quickly, "Thank you, Queen, for your compliment."

Xiao Xuanchen did not say much, but just looked down at the fourth prince, his eyes full of love. Jinluo and Ru Ma were busy at the side, preparing exquisite snacks and fragrant tea for His Majesty and the Queen.

Jinluo offered tea and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Zheng Xiyan took the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down. Xiao Xuanchen noticed that Concubine De's face was still haggard, so he turned to Zheng Xiyan and said, "Queen, Concubine De had a hard time giving birth, so we should not disturb her too much and let her have a good rest."

Zheng Xiyan nodded in agreement and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty is right. I will accompany you back to the palace and visit Concubine De and the Fourth Prince another day."

Seeing this, Concubine De was about to stand up to see her off, but Xiao Xuanchen waved his hand to stop her: "You just gave birth, your body is still weak, don't get up, take a good rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and the Queen for your consideration. I will definitely rest well and take good care of the Fourth Prince." Defei said gratefully.

After Xiao Xuanchen and Zheng Xiyan left Zhonghua Palace, Concubine De held the fourth prince and sat by the bed, her eyes shining with the brilliance of maternal love. She knew that with this child, her future would be even better, full of hope and expectation.

After the two left Zhonghua Palace, Xiao Xuanchen returned to Zichen Hall, and Zheng Xiyan returned to Weiyang Palace.

Biluo was waiting on the side. She observed Zheng Xiyan's expression and said carefully, "My lady, I see that His Majesty likes the Fourth Prince very much."

Zheng Xiyan smiled lightly, with a hint of depth in her eyes: "This fourth prince is lucky, he looks so much like your majesty, of course your majesty likes him."

"Then..." Biluo hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

Zheng Xiyan saw through her thoughts and said calmly, "What are you worried about? He is just a baby and can't threaten me and Ji'er and Yi'er right now. I won't touch the children in this palace easily, but the premise is that they can't stand in my way."

After Biluo heard this, she was startled and quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes! I understand."

Zheng Xiyan looked up at the sky, her eyes revealing a kind of firmness and confidence. She needed to remain calm and rational, and not be shaken by any disturbance in the palace. Only in this way could she ensure the stability of her and her son's positions, and protect the pure land in her heart.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the palace walls, adding a bit of warmth to this ancient palace.

Xiao Xuanchen had instructed people in advance that he would come to Weiyang Palace tonight.

Zheng Xiyan ordered the palace maids to prepare hot water for Xiao Xuanchen's bath and dinner, while she sat in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

After taking a bath, Xiao Xuanchen changed into a light casual outfit and came to Zheng Xiyan's bedroom. He saw Zheng Xiyan sitting in front of the window, so he walked over and sat beside her, and asked softly, "What is the queen thinking about?"

Zheng Xiyan turned to look at Xiao Xuanchen and said with a smile: "I didn't think about anything."

A gentle light flashed in Xiao Xuanchen's eyes. He held Zheng Xiyan's hand and said, "It has been really hard for the Queen these days."

After hearing this, Zheng Xiyan felt a little disgusted, but she still maintained the dignity and smile that a queen should have, and responded softly: "It's not hard for me, this is what I should do. It is my honor to be able to accompany your majesty and share your worries."

The two smiled at each other, but Zheng Xiyan felt a little bitter in her heart.

"Sometimes I always think that with you by my side, I can really relax a lot." Xiao Xuanchen's words surprised Zheng Xiyan a little, but she quickly adjusted her mood and responded: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just doing my duty."
