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

It was Xiao Xuanchen's first time holding a child, and he was very clumsy, with a look of helplessness on his face. The Queen Mother patiently taught him, "Don't drop it."

Princess Xuanhua came over with a curious look on her face, looking at him tenderly, "You must grow up quickly, and your aunt will take you out to play."

"It will take several more years for him to grow up, and you will be married by then." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Mother, even if I get married, I can still come back to the palace and take him out to play. He is my first nephew, so of course I have to love him more." Princess Xuanhua liked him very much. He was small, soft and so cute!

"Good!" The Queen Mother looked very happy.

When Xiao Xuanchen saw the soft and small boy in his arms, he felt a little warm in his heart. When he was young, Xiao Xuanchen was not favored by his father. Now that he has a son, fatherly love arises spontaneously. Perhaps this is the blood relationship!

When the Queen Mother saw that he smiled sincerely, she finally felt relieved.

"Emperor, this is your first child and the eldest son, so you must give him a good name." The Empress Dowager advised with a smile.

Xiao Xuanchen didn't think it through for a while, and said, "Mother, let me go back and think about it carefully. I will definitely give him a good name."

"I have thought of a name for the emperor. How about Chengji? It means inheriting the country." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, staring at Xiao Xuanchen. She had thought of this name a long time ago. She did this for his sake and for the country of Daliang.

In the later years of the late emperor's life, he was indecisive about the issue of choosing a crown prince, which almost caused civil unrest. Now, we must not follow in the late emperor's footsteps and decide on the heir to the throne early to avoid further incidents.

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the hall fell silent. The Queen Mother's meaning could not be more obvious. Everyone looked at each other with different expressions, and they all became nervous unconsciously.

"This is the emperor's first son, born to the empress. This name is very suitable. Emperor, what do you think?" The empress dowager looked at Xiao Xuanchen meaningfully, her purpose was self-evident.

Xiao Xuanchen looked at his mother. Seeing her firmness, he had no reason to refute her. He could only say, "Your Majesty is right. Let's call her this name!"

"Okay! Chengji, Xiao Chengji." The Queen Mother repeated.

Princess Xuanhua took out the rattle she had prepared earlier, shook it in front of him, and said, "Chengji, little Chengji, I am your aunt. You must grow up quickly. I will take you out of the palace to play."

When Murong Yue and others heard this name, they felt disheartened. They knew that they would never be able to compete with the Queen and her son even if they wanted to.

In the dormitory

Zheng Xiyan was drowsy. She was so tired. Her face was pale and her hair was soaked with sweat. Princess Chengyang stayed by her side, wiping the sweat off her with a handkerchief. "Yan'er..."

"Mother." Zheng Xiyan called weakly.

"You gave birth to a prince, he is very good. The Empress Dowager just gave him a name personally, Chengji, which means inheritor of the country." Princess Chengyang had a distressed look on her face. She finally got what she wished for.

When Zheng Xiyan heard this name, the corners of her mouth curled up and she whispered, "God has really been very kind to me."

"Silly child, from now on, you will have good days." Princess Chengyang said with a smile, tears in her eyes.

"Mother is right." Zheng Xiyan smiled at her.

The bedroom was cleaned up, and the smell of blood slowly dissipated. The Queen Mother and Princess Xuanhua came in to see her, "Mother."

The Queen Mother sat on the bed, patted her hands, and said, "Good child, you have suffered a lot, but you are a great hero, giving birth to the emperor's eldest son."

"Thank you, mother." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

Xiao Xuanchen came in holding the child. He was in a complicated mood at the moment. Zheng Xiyan looked at him and smiled at him.

This smile warmed Xiao Xuanchen's heart.

"Your Majesty! The child..." Zheng Xiyan raised her head. She wanted to see her son, the son she had given birth to with great difficulty.

Xiao Xuanchen brought the child over and let Zheng Xiyan take a look. "The child is fine. You don't have to worry. Take care of yourself first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Xiyan's eyes fell on the child, her eyes were very gentle, and her heart was filled with many feelings. This was her child, she had finally been waiting for her own child, thinking of this, Zheng Xiyan wanted to cry.

When the empress dowager saw this heartwarming scene, she remembered that many years ago, she had also experienced this. When she gave birth to her eldest son, the late emperor was also happy and looked at them and their son with loving eyes.

"Emperor, let the Queen have a good rest." The Empress Dowager advised.

"Yes! Mother."

Zheng Xiyan looked at her child happily, this was her child. She had no chance to have a child in her previous life, but God allowed her to have a child in this life. She would spend her whole life protecting her child and would never let anyone hurt him.

Xiao Xuanchen left Weiyang Palace with the Queen Mother. It was already dawn.

The concubines in each palace also left one after another.

Inside the bedroom, Zheng Xiyan looked at the child and cried with joy. Thinking of her past life, she could no longer hold back her tears.

Seeing this, Princess Chengyang comforted her, "You can't cry during confinement. Why are you crying over such a happy event?"

Zheng Xiyan quickly wiped away her tears and said firmly, "Mother is right. I shouldn't cry."

"Go to sleep quickly! Mother is here with you." Princess Chengyang said with concern.

"Ok!"

With her mother and trusted confidants like Biluo Shuangning by her side, Zheng Xiyan slept soundly.

But the concubines in the palaces had stayed in Weiyang Palace for two hours last night and should have been very sleepy, but now they were not sleepy at all.

Jinhua Palace

Murong Yue has been in a bad mood since she came back from Weiyang Palace.

Die Yun helped her sit on the couch and ordered someone to serve breakfast. "Your Majesty, you must be tired after staying in Weiyang Palace for so long. I will order someone to serve breakfast. After breakfast, go to sleep."

Murong Yue was indeed hungry and sleepy now, but she had no appetite at all. "Can I still eat and sleep now?"

Die Yun guessed what she was thinking and comforted her, "Your Majesty, you should relax. The Queen gave birth to a legitimate son, but you are also carrying His Majesty's heir!"

"There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. Even if I gave birth to a prince, how can I compare with the legitimate son? The titles of legitimate and eldest son are both taken. Chengji, the Queen Mother gave the eldest prince this name, which is clearly telling everyone that the eldest prince will inherit the country and succeed your majesty's throne in the future." Murong Yue said excitedly.

Dieyun didn't know how to comfort her. Daliang has always valued the eldest son, so there was nothing she could do about it.

"My lady..."

"I shouldn't argue with the Queen. She is the Queen, His Majesty's legal wife, and I am just a concubine. But I just don't want to accept this in my heart." Murong Yue said gritting her teeth. Zheng Xiyan gave birth to His Majesty's eldest son, and everyone would respect her son. What about her son?
