The Adventures of the Crying Princess

The next day, Emperor Mingde visited again. Yuwen Ji was playing chess with Bai Yimeng in the room. When he heard the greeting outside, he was about to stand up, but Bai Yimeng held him down and said, "Sit down. Your injury hasn't healed yet. I'll do the greeting for you." Bai Yimeng stood up and bowed. It was almost seven months old, but he was still very clumsy.

Emperor Chengde saw what she meant and said, "Forget it." He glanced at his son and said, "You are also exempted.

I have investigated the matter and found out that the servant was drunk and made up a story. He was beaten to death by the prince."

Bai Yimeng smiled but said nothing. Emperor Chengde glanced at him and said, "In this matter, the Crown Prince was wrong, but he is the heir to the throne, so we can't not give him some face. Can we let this matter go, little girl?"

"If Your Majesty says it's okay, it's okay. I'm just a woman and I don't understand these things." Bai Yimeng took a half step back to avoid the hand extended by Emperor Chengde.

There were chirping birds outside, and Emperor Chengde looked over. "Spring is coming soon. Counting the days, the baby will be born in May."

"Whatever your majesty says is what it is."

Emperor Chengde glared at her, then turned to look at his son, who was looking down at the chess pieces, not paying any attention to him. "Third brother, are you okay?"

"Your Majesty, I'm not fully recovered yet." Yuwen Ji looked at Bai Yimeng, smiled and stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I am not fit for your job.

Please, father, strip me of my princely title. I want to be a commoner and give her and her son a stable life.

I feel bad for wronging her last time. Please grant me your permission, Father."

Bai Yimeng knelt down and bowed as well.

"That's enough, you two. Do you want me to deal with the crown prince?" Emperor Chengde thought that he could get over it after explaining it. Why would they leave him?

Bai Yimeng held Yuwen Ji down and said, "The crown prince is the foundation of the country, so your majesty should protect him. However, if the prince is slandered and has a bad reputation, it will also be a loss of face for the royal family.

I don't want people to blame his father after his child is born.

Your Majesty, I have said that you are the Son of Heaven and should put the people first.

The daughter-in-law ventured to say something. As the old saying goes, what the superior likes, the subordinates will follow.

Just as Your Majesty is filial to the Queen Mother, the people of the world all take Your Majesty as an example and be filial to their parents.

The common people in the countryside have never seen the emperor, but they have heard of His Majesty's reputation for benevolence and filial piety, and they all follow the emperor's example in respecting their parents and being courteous to their brothers and friends.

Isn't this also the merit of Your Majesty that has benefited all people and led them to do good?

Your Majesty's reputation has spread throughout the five continents. You dislike Prince Yi and punish Prince Yi. I wonder what the people of the world will think? Do you want discord in the royal family, or..."

"That's enough! I have already found out the truth of this matter and cleared the name of Prince Yi. I won't be partial next time, okay, little monkey? You can get up now."

Emperor Chengde only thought that monkeys were fun when they were uneducated.

Eunuch Chen stepped forward and helped Bai Yimeng up.

Emperor Chengde glared at Bai Yimeng and said, "Why don't you call me father?"

Bai Yimeng smiled and said, "Thank you, Father, for your generosity."

"You naughty boy, wait till you give birth to the baby, I will treat you well..."

Suddenly he caught sight of Lord Longgu greeting him, and instantly changed his words, "Have a good rest, I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the palace first."

After Emperor Chengde left, Lord Longgu came over and said, "Prince Yi, although my disciple is not from a wealthy family, he was raised by a large group of people.

In the martial arts world, Wan An Gu has always kept her word. Now that she is marrying you, it is equivalent to clipping her own wings. She has already suffered a lot of injustice.

My power is limited, so I can only protect her for a while. From now on, you will be her real supporter."

"Master, I think it's about time that I can tell you about the child.

After all, it's hard to explain when there's an extra baby during birth." Bai Yimeng touched her belly with a sly smile in her eyes.

Emperor Chengde returned to the palace and had just sat down when Eunuch Chen came to report, "Your Majesty, Prince Yi and Princess Yi request an audience."

The old emperor almost spit out the tea he had just taken a sip of, "Why did you chase me to the palace?

Didn't I promise them to clear Prince Yi's name? Didn't I also agree to let this go? Haven't we dealt with those who should be dealt with? What else does Bai Yimeng want to do?"

Eunuch Chen blinked his extremely sincere eyes and shook his head, "I don't know, but it seems that the little princess is very happy."

"You little monkey, I don't know what you are up to. Forget it, I owe her something, so let her come in. Wait a minute, go to the nanny and get a bottle of ointment.

Don’t forget to give it to the third brother when the time comes. He has been wronged in the end.”

Emperor Chengde was moved at this moment and said: This person must never make mistakes, because some mistakes can never be repaid in a lifetime.

Rubbing his temple, he raised his eyelids again and saw that Yuwen Ji and his wife had arrived in the main hall.

"No need to be polite. What do you two want? Do you want me to issue an edict of apology before this matter is over?

I have already told you that I will overturn the third brother’s case. Are you two done yet?

Bai Yimeng, you have gone too far. If you are pushed too far, I will beat you with a ruler like I did when you were a child."

The couple looked at each other in shock. Bai Yimeng bowed and saluted, "Father, what's wrong with you? We didn't come here to talk about that."

The emperor heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and saw Eunuch Chen fetching the ointment, "Give it to Prince Yi. Third brother, let's get over this matter.

There are no parents who are not partial. You are going to be a father, so you will understand me."

"Thank you, father, for the medicine." Yuwen Ji was a little overwhelmed by the sudden fatherly love.

Emperor Chengde seldom told him these things. This was the case when the Prince of Qi was present, and it was also the case when the Prince of Qi was away from the court.

Bai Yimeng held his hand and squeezed it gently, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "From now on, you can stop being that biased father."

Yuwen Ji looked at her and nodded. Emperor Chengde drank a sip of tea and coughed, "You came to the palace just to let me see how loving you two are?

If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don't, get out. I'm very busy and don't have time to play with you two.

"If you are free, go back to the Ministry of Justice. There are a lot of files waiting for you to deal with them."

Bai Yimeng walked forward with a smile, took away the red pen from Emperor Chengde, and put the memorial aside.

This move not only stunned Yuwen Ji and Eunuch Chen, but even Emperor Chengde himself was a little confused.

"Bai Yimeng, what do you want to do? Are you itching for sex? Just because you are pregnant and I can't bear to hit you, you can do whatever you want? Get out of here and go play somewhere else."

"Father, my daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins. You may not only have more grandsons, but also more granddaughters."

The hand of Emperor Chengde reaching for the brush was frozen. After a long while, he slowly raised his eyes and asked cautiously, "You mean, a boy and a girl?"

"Ah."

"That's great. I've wanted a granddaughter for a long time. I want to see what a little monkey like you looks like.

Take good care of your pregnancy and don't wander around. The Prince Yi's Mansion will be closed to visitors these days, and no one is allowed to disturb you."

He turned his head and looked at Eunuch Chen, "Go, get the imperial physician."

After a while, Emperor Chengde calmed down and looked at Bai Yimeng, "I heard that giving birth to twins is very dangerous.

I'm afraid you didn't take good care of yourself in the first few months. The military camp is not a good place to take care of your pregnancy.

I'm afraid you'll suffer a lot when you give birth. I know you're a doctor and your master is also very good.

But I am worried that you will not tell me the truth. I will ask Sun Yuanpan to come over and show you. "

"Okay." At this point, Bai Yimeng didn't care about it and agreed generously.

Soon, Sun Yuanpan arrived and bowed. Bai Yimeng smiled and said to him, "Congratulations to Sun Yuanpan on your promotion."

"I dare not. I dare not."

After the greetings, Court Judge Sun took Bai Yimeng's pulse. He examined his left and right hands for five or six times and was sweating profusely.

Emperor Chengde's heart also followed him to the meeting, and Sun Yuanpan changed hands, and Emperor Mingde's heart was also in turmoil.

After a long while, the old emperor couldn't stand it anymore, "Sun Yuanpan, but what's wrong with Princess Yi's pregnancy?"

President Sun’s face turned frighteningly pale, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"Father, please don't make it difficult for Sun Yuanpan. Let your daughter-in-law speak."

"My daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. They are now more than six months old, almost seven months."

Bai Yimeng held Yuwen Ji's shaking hand and comforted him softly, "It's okay, you said you believed me."

Emperor Chengde noticed something was wrong, "Tell me everything. What else is there? I am not old enough to ask you to report good news instead of bad news. Is it because you are in poor health and have difficulty giving birth?"

Emperor Chengde seemed to have anticipated something. He frowned and muttered in a low voice, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have wanted this baby. It's almost seven months now. I'm afraid abortion is..."

"Father, what are you going to do? Don't hurt my child." Bai Yimeng held her belly and stared with eyes like a little wolfhound.

"It's my fault. Why didn't I think of that at the time? You were seriously injured before, and it was probably because of your health.

How can I have two children at this critical moment? Blame me, I should have thought of it. "The emperor looked at Sun Yuanpan, "Can you save your wife if she miscarries at this time?"

"Father..." Bai Yimeng looked at the emperor in disbelief.

"Shut up." Emperor Chengde glared and shouted, "I shouldn't have spoiled you and listened to you in everything.

This time, if something happens to you, how can I face your parents? You are pregnant with my Yuwen family's child, I have the final say. "

"Your Majesty, it's almost seven months, and the princess's health is still not good. If she miscarries at this time, her life will be in danger." Sun Yuanpan knelt down and kowtowed, "For now, we can only give birth to the baby. With the remaining three months, if she takes good care of her body, there may be a glimmer of hope."
