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

"Don't worry, your majesty. The most important thing for you now is to give birth to the baby safely." Die Yun comforted.

"You're right, this is the most important thing." Murong Yue stroked her belly and said to herself: Child, you have to fight for your mother's honor! You must be a prince.

Shoukang Palace

Princess Xuanhua helped her mother sit down and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured now!"

"I feel relieved." Nanny Yu handed over a cup of tea, and the empress dowager took it and drank two sips.

Princess Xuanhua was already hungry, and ordered, "Hurry up and serve the food, I am starving to death."

"Yes! Princess!"

Princess Xuanhua picked up a piece of cake and started eating. She was really hungry! It seemed like she had never felt so hungry before.

The Queen Mother looked at her, and thinking of what Xiao Xuanchen said that day, she spoke carefully, "Xuanhua, your brother has found a marriage for you."

"Marriage? What marriage?" Princess Xuanhua was stunned and asked quickly.

The Queen Mother looked closely at the expression on Princess Xuanhua's face, "Do you know Helian Cheng?"

When Princess Xuanhua heard the name Helian Cheng, how could she not recognize him? She knew him very well. She had sneaked out of the palace before and almost had a quarrel with him.

"I know him." But then she thought, could it be that the emperor wanted to marry her to Helian Cheng? Otherwise, why would the queen mother suddenly mention him?

When the Queen Mother heard that she knew him, she was about to tell her happily, but the next second Princess Xuanhua continued, "Mother! I don't want to marry Helian Cheng."

"Why? Don't you two know each other?" the Queen Mother asked.

"Anyway, I just don't want to marry him. Mother, you don't know this Helian Cheng. He has a stern face and is cold. It seems that I owe him money. Anyway, I just don't want to marry him." Princess Xuanhua couldn't give any serious reason. In short, she just didn't like him.

The Queen Mother knows her best. She can tell from her tone that she doesn't really hate him, so this marriage should be possible.

"Of course your mother wants you to marry the one you love, but you must also understand that you are your royal brother's only biological sister. Your marriage will certainly be mixed with various interests. Do you understand?" The Queen Mother said with a slightly serious expression.

Princess Xuanhua certainly understood that as the legitimate princess of Daliang, she had to receive the emperor's salary and be loyal to him, so she could only follow the emperor's orders.

"Don't worry, mother. I understand everything. Even if that day really comes, even if I am asked to marry far away, I will do it willingly." Princess Xuanhua had a look of deep understanding of righteousness. Since she was worshipped and respected by the people, she should make sacrifices for them.

The Queen Mother held her hand and said with a look of relief: "You have really grown up."

"Of course I have grown up. I am no longer the little princess who knew nothing." Princess Xuanhua lowered her head and said with emotion.

"it is good!"

Tai Chi Hall

Xiao Xuanchen did not miss the morning court today. When he arrived at Taiji Hall, all the civil and military officials had already known that the queen had given birth to her eldest son.

The Duke of Zheng and the King of Chu were overjoyed, and many ministers congratulated them.

Xiao Xuanchen, wearing court robes, sat on the dragon throne. The ministers knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Xuanchen waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, everyone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then the Prime Minister stepped forward and said, "We heard that the Empress gave birth to a legitimate son safely. We would like to congratulate Your Majesty on the birth of his son."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the birth of his baby boy." The court officials knelt on the ground to congratulate him.

Xiao Xuanchen's face showed no joy, and he said coldly: "Everyone get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the morning court session ended, Xiao Xuanchen returned to the Zichen Hall, locked himself inside, and sat on the dragon throne without even changing out of his court robes. He held his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes, and was deep in thought.

"Chengji, inherit the country and the throne. Your mother really gave you a good name!" Xiao Xuanchen said in a low voice, with a very intriguing expression on his face.

"Your birth really doesn't make me happy at all." Xiao Xuanchen rubbed his eyebrows with a worried look on his face.

Soon, the news that Zheng Xiyan had given birth to a legitimate son spread throughout Shangjing City and even the entire Daliang.

That night, the eunuch in front of the emperor walked into the Purple Palace with the people from the Jingshifang, "Your Majesty! Tonight you are..."

"Go to Weiyang Palace." Xiao Xuanchen hesitated for a moment, but decided to go visit Zheng Xiyan and her son.

"Yes!"

The eunuch in front of the emperor went to prepare the imperial sedan chair, and then Xiao Xuanchen rode in the sedan chair to the Weiyang Palace.

The moment the imperial sedan fell, Xiao Xuanchen's face became solemn, and for a moment he didn't know how to face the mother and son.

The eunuch in front of the emperor reminded quietly: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at Weiyang Palace."

"Yeah." Xiao Xuanchen then slowly stood up and got off the imperial carriage.

"His Majesty has arrived!" the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.

At this time, Zheng Xiyan was holding Xiao Chengji and teasing him. The wet nurse had just finished feeding him. Princess Chengyang was sitting on the bed, and Biluo and Shuangning were standing beside her.

Hearing the voice of the eunuch in front of the emperor, Princess Chengyang quickly stood up and saluted.

"See Your Majesty."

"Don't be so polite." Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, Princess Chengyang took Biluo and Shuangning back. Zheng Xiyan looked at him with joy and said, "Your Majesty, come and see how well behaved our Chengji is!"

Xiao Xuanchen walked towards them with a forced smile and sat down on the bed. Zheng Xiyan held Xiao Chengji to him, "Your Majesty, please hold Chengji."

Xiao Xuanchen did not refuse and held him in his arms, "Chengji, do you like this name?" Xiao Xuanchen suddenly asked, his eyes somewhat deep.

Zheng Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then said, "My mother chose this name, so I naturally like it. Does Your Majesty like it?"

Xiao Xuanchen's expression was very unnatural, and he said stiffly: "Of course I like it. It means to inherit the country. My mother has high hopes for Chengji."

"What about His Majesty?" Zheng Xiyan continued to ask.

Xiao Xuanchen avoided her gaze, fearing that she would see through him, and said perfunctorily: "I naturally have high hopes for him."

Zheng Xiyan chuckled and said slowly: "I only hope that Chengji can grow up healthy and happy. As for the rest, I don't ask for anything."

This is Zheng Xiyan’s biggest wish. She failed to become a mother in her previous life. In this life, she hopes that her child will be healthy and happy. Of course, she will fight for everything that belongs to him.

"Don't ask for anything?" Xiao Xuanchen's eyes turned slightly, and there was a bit of scrutiny and speculation in his eyes as he looked at her.

"Yes! Nothing is more important than health and happiness. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Zheng Xiyan's eyes were clear and innocent. For a moment, Xiao Xuanchen believed it, without a single doubt.
