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

On the way back to Weiyang Palace, Zheng Xiyan was sitting on the phoenix carriage. When she passed by Yihua Palace, she saw from afar a group of people holding a lot of rare treasures and walking towards Yihua Palace. She narrowed her eyes slightly and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"It seems that His Majesty has sent good things to Yihua Palace again." Zheng Xiyan said lightly, with a hint of disdain in her voice.

Biluo also saw this scene from the side. She whispered, "Whatever Yihua Palace has, we also have in Weiyang Palace. What Yihua Palace doesn't have, we also have in Weiyang Palace."

Zheng Xiyan shook her head gently, "That may not be the case." She sighed slightly and continued, "If she gives birth to another prince, I'm afraid she will be promoted to the position of consort. In the past few years, even the Queen Mother has changed her mind about her."

Biluo looked puzzled. She asked doubtfully, "Didn't the queen help her in the beginning? Now..."

Zheng Xiyan interrupted her, a sharp light flashing in her eyes, "I helped her that day because she was useful. Although she is still useful now, if she blocks my way, don't blame me for being rude."

Biluo immediately understood what Zheng Xiyan meant. She lowered her head and replied respectfully, "I understand."

At lunchtime that day, the sunlight from the Weiyang Palace shone through the fine window lattices, onto the exquisite jade plate, reflecting the colorful delicacies on the plate. Xiao Xuanchen walked into the palace with steady steps and a rare sense of ease in his eyes. He sat between Zheng Xiyan and her two sons. The family of five sat around the table, sharing the joy of family.

Xiao Xuanchen took a sip of tea and then slowly said: "Today I went to the upper study and heard the master praising Ji'er." His voice was full of pride, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Xiao Chengji.

When Zheng Xiyan heard this, a smile flashed in her eyes. She gently stroked Xiao Chengyi's head and said softly: "Really? Ji'er has always been diligent and studious, and has never caused Your Majesty and me to worry about anything." Her words were full of love and pride for her son.

However, Xiao Xuanchen's expression suddenly became solemn. He paused and continued, "However, Master also criticized Yier." There was a hint of blame and confusion in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengyi's face froze. He lowered his head silently, his fingers moving unconsciously on the table.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiyan's heart tightened and she said, "Your Majesty! Yier has been working very hard recently, but he is still young, so please don't blame him." Her voice was gentle and firm, full of trust and encouragement for her son.

Xiao Xuanchen looked at his two sons, and a trace of doubt and confusion arose in his heart. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Ji'er and Yi'er are both our sons, why are they so different?" There was a trace of confusion and bewilderment in his tone.

Zheng Xiyan smiled gently, she looked at Xiao Xuanchen and said softly: "Your Majesty! As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to nine sons, each one is different. There are several princes in the palace, but not all of them have inherited your Majesty's wisdom and talent." Her words were full of wisdom and tolerance.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, forget it. I also know that I can't force it." His gaze fell on his two sons again, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiyan winked at Xiao Chengyi. Xiao Chengyi immediately understood, he raised his head, stood up, looked at Xiao Xuanchen, and said solemnly: "Father, I will work harder in the future and will never let you down again." His voice was full of firmness and determination.

Xiao Chengji also stood up and said, "Please rest assured, father. I will definitely encourage my third brother more in the future and do my best to teach him." His voice was full of the responsibility and commitment of an elder brother.

Xiao Xuanchen looked at his two sons, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He nodded with satisfaction, patted Xiao Chengji on the shoulder, and said, "Good boy, this is what a brother should be like." His voice was full of appreciation and satisfaction.

At this time, Xiao Shuyue interrupted in a baby voice: "Father, there's me, there's me." Her small figure jumped out from the cushion in the corner. Although her steps were unstable, her eyes were shining with anticipation.

Xiao Shuyue ran to Xiao Xuanchen, raised her head, and a pure smile spread across her face: "Father, Father."

Xiao Xuanchen was amused by her innocence and cuteness, with a doting smile on his face. He bent down, hugged Xiao Shuyue tightly in his arms, and said gently: "Of course I haven't forgotten Yue'er, how could my father forget you?"

A smug smile appeared on Xiao Shuyue's face. She turned her head to look at Xiao Chengyi and said in a baby voice, "Father, Third Brother has been working hard lately. He doesn't even have time to accompany Yue'er to fly a kite."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen turned his gaze to Xiao Chengyi, with a hint of approval in his eyes. He smiled and said to Xiao Chengyi, "Really?"

Xiao Chengyi nodded, "Father, Yue'er is right."

Zheng Xiyan watched this scene from the side with a slight smile on her lips. She knew that every time Xiao Xuanchen got angry, he would immediately calm down as soon as his daughter Xiao Shuyue took action.

"Alright, alright, come and have your meal." Zheng Xiyan called gently, "Yuer, come and sit next to your mother."

Xiao Shuyue got off Xiao Xuanchen, skipped back to her seat, sat obediently beside Zheng Xiyan, waiting for her mother to feed her soup.

After lunch, the sun shone through the windows into every corner of the palace. The children were taken downstairs to take a nap accompanied by their wet nurses. The entire Weiyang Palace became exceptionally quiet. Zheng Xiyan thought Xiao Xuanchen would leave to deal with state affairs or return to his own palace to rest, but he unexpectedly chose to stay.

Xiao Xuanchen lay gently on the couch, closing his eyes to rest. Seeing this, Zheng Xiyan walked forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, the bed has been made. You should sleep there. It's not comfortable to lie like this."

However, Xiao Xuanchen reached out and gently pulled Zheng Xiyan's hand, pulling her down on the couch, and then he lay on top of her. Zheng Xiyan was disgusted by this sudden move, she frowned slightly and tried to break free, but Xiao Xuanchen hugged her tightly and whispered, "Let me lie down for a while."

Although Zheng Xiyan felt extremely disgusted, she could only endure it silently. She asked softly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? But what happened in the court?"

Xiao Xuanchen was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Nothing, I just feel very tired." His voice revealed a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

Over the years, Xiao Xuanchen has indeed worked hard to govern the country, and under his governance, Daliang has become increasingly prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. He has also gradually taken control of power and firmly sat on the throne.

When Zheng Xiyan heard this, she couldn't help but feel tender. She gently patted Xiao Xuanchen's hand and said softly, "Your Majesty has worked so hard these years. I feel so sorry for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanchen smiled softly, patted Zheng Xiyan's hand, and said, "It's all worth it. As long as Daliang prospers and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I will be satisfied."
