The wet nurse quickly brought the second prince over. Concubine Xian took her son and held him in her arms. Only then did she feel relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Second Prince sucked very hard when he was breastfeeding just now." said the wet nurse with a smile.

When Concubine Xian looked at her son in her arms, she suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy. Although she was happy to have given birth to a prince, this was in the harem, and his birth was not a happy event for them.

Although she is now one of the four concubines, she has no support from her maternal family, and she has no one to rely on in the harem.

"My son." Concubine Xian suddenly choked up. She was very panicked. What should she do next? How could she protect him?

"Empress, what's wrong with you?" The palace maid beside her was a little confused. Why did the Empress suddenly cry? Giving birth to the second prince was such a great joy!

"I'm afraid someone will harm my son." Concubine Xian said with a sob, her face full of fear.

"Why would Your Majesty think so?" The palace maid looked puzzled.

"Xu Chongyuan's child was killed by someone. Although I have given birth to a prince safely, who can predict what will happen in the future? I am powerless and my words carry little weight. I am afraid I cannot protect him from growing up safely." Concubine Xian cried, tears streaming down her face. At this moment, she felt that she was particularly sorry for her son.

The wet nurse sighed. She had been in the palace for many years and had seen many princes and princesses die for no reason.

"If Your Majesty is worried that you can't protect the Second Prince, you can hand him over to the Queen Mother or the Empress to raise him." The wet nurse suddenly suggested. With Your Majesty's current status, she could certainly keep the Second Prince by her side, but if she was really worried that someone would harm the Second Prince, then this was the only option.

Xianfei thought this was a solution, but then she thought again, would the Queen Mother agree? And the Queen had her own son to raise, so how could she take care of her son?

"Is this feasible? I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will not agree, and the Empress will definitely not agree." Concubine Xian looked up and said, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Your Majesty, please give it a try! Now that Princess Xuanhua has been married, the Empress Dowager must be very bored. With her grandson by her side, she will be happier. As for the Queen, you really don't have to hold on to too much hope. Just place your hope on the Empress Dowager." The wet nurse replied.

"But I can't bear to leave my son. I want him to grow up by my side." The virtuous concubine held her son in her arms, with her little face against his. How could she bear to be asked to send her child to the Empress Dowager?

The wet nurse advised: "Your Majesty can go to Shoukang Palace to visit the Second Prince every day. The Queen Mother is kind-hearted and will not prevent you and your son from seeing each other."

Concubine Xian looked at her son in her arms, thought for a long time, and finally made up her mind, "Okay! I'll give it a try."

The next day, after Xiao Xuanchen finished his morning court session, he came to Chonghua Palace to visit the mother and son.

Xian Fei also took this opportunity to tell him about this matter, "Your Majesty! I want to hand the second prince over to the Queen Mother to raise."

Xiao Xuanchen was teasing his son and didn't pay attention to what she said, "What did you say?"

"I want the Empress Dowager to raise the Second Prince." Concubine Xian repeated.

"What?" Xiao Xuanchen's face changed drastically, his brows were furrowed, and he looked unhappy.

"I beg your Majesty to grant this."

"Why?" Xiao Xuanchen asked coldly.

"I am a lowly person with little influence and I am afraid I cannot raise the second prince." Concubine Xian looked helpless. She was forced into a helpless situation.

Xiao Xuanchen knew the reason why she did this, and said in a deep voice: "I know what you are worried about. But it is better for you to raise your own child by your side."

"Your Majesty! I don't want to leave my son, but I am really afraid. I dreamed that someone wanted to harm our son. I was really scared." Concubine Xian suddenly became agitated and said pleadingly.

Xiao Xuanchen held her hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry! I will protect you and your son. As long as I am here, no one can harm you."

"But I think..." Concubine Xian still insisted.

"Okay, don't mention this matter again. I won't agree to it." Xiao Xuanchen said impatiently.

The virtuous concubine knew that he was angry and dared not say anything. She lowered her head, feeling aggrieved. Xiao Xuanchen took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will harm you and your child." Xiao Yuyan said gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The virtuous concubine leaned on his shoulder with a grateful look on her face.

At this time, Zheng Xiyan came to Chonghua Palace and went in without being informed. When she walked into the bedroom, she happened to see this scene.

"Don't cry, I won't let anyone harm you. I named our son Chengye. Ye means brilliant and glorious. When he grows up, he will be able to share my worries." Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

"Concubine, thank you Your Majesty."

"Ye'er, Ye'er." Concubine Xian was in a much better mood. She looked at her son, smiling and teasing him.

Hearing this, Zheng Xiyan stopped walking. He would be lying if he said he didn't feel sad. He had never been so happy when Ji'er was born. When the Queen Mother named their child Chengji, he was even...

Biluo noticed her expression, "My Lady."

Zheng Xiyan closed her eyes and said coldly, "Let's go! No need to go in."

After leaving Chonghua Palace, Zheng Xiyan sat on the phoenix carriage and said, "Let's go back to the palace."

"Yes!"

Zheng Xiyan had a blank expression on his face. Thinking of what he had just said to Concubine Xian, he felt unhappy.

"Your Majesty, you..." Biluo said carefully.

"I'm fine. There's no need to get angry over people who are not worth it. There's really no need. I will fight for what I want. As for those unimportant things, they are not worth mentioning." Zheng Xiyan said coldly.

"Yes!"

The moment Zheng Xiyan returned to Weiyang Palace and saw Ji'er, she lost all her anger.

"Ji'er."

"Mother~"

Zheng Xiyan picked him up and said, "My dear son."

During lunch, Xiao Xuanchen came to Weiyang Palace, and Zheng Xiyan was playing with her son at that time.

After Xiao Xuanchen came in and saw this scene, he came to them with a smile, "Ji'er, do you miss your father?"

Zheng Xiyan really wanted to roll her eyes. She stood up and saluted reluctantly, "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you."

"Get up, no need to be polite."

Xiao Xuanchen picked up Xiao Chengji and said, "My dear son, call me father."

"Father."

"So good." Xiao Xuanchen kissed his son.

Xiao Chengji chuckled, "Hahaha."

Zheng Xiyan watched from the side. If she had not seen the scene in Chonghua Palace this morning, she might have believed that he was sincere at this moment.

After stopping, Xiao Xuanchen asked, "I heard that you went to Chonghua Palace this morning, why didn't you go in?"

"Your Majesty and Concubine Xian were accompanying the Second Prince, so I did not go in to disturb them." Zheng Xiyan was minding her own business and did not even look at them.

"Are you jealous?" Xiao Xuanchen curled his lips and chuckled.

"I am not jealous, Your Majesty, you are overthinking it." Zheng Xiyan sneered and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

"It's time for Ji'er to take a nap, take him downstairs!" Zheng Xiyan ordered.

"Yes."

The wet nurse and the palace maids all left, and Zheng Xiyan said, "I'll have someone serve the meal."

When Zheng Xiyan was about to leave the bedroom, Xiao Xuanchen suddenly hugged her from behind.
