After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Qin Yaoguang turned to face the ministers and said, "Perhaps you don't know yet? General Yan Shouzhuo, who made great contributions in the recovery of Juyan City, and Yan Jinyin, who was accepted as a disciple by Master Bianchen and is currently compiling medical skills at Yumen Pass, are the children left by my brother and sister-in-law."

She directly addressed the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Yan family as brother and sister-in-law, as if she were the daughter-in-law of the Yan family.

Yan Changqing felt a surge of warmth in his heart after hearing this, and he felt very relieved.

However, everyone was obviously more surprised about the identities of the two children.

After a brief silence in the court, voices of praise rang out one after another.

"The general's family has a successor!"

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog son!"

In addition, everyone was thinking about another question: Since Yan Shouzhe and his sister had such a background, do the other three children also have their own origins?

Otherwise, how could the eldest princess teach them without any reservations?

Yan Changqing didn't let them raise their doubts, and struck while the iron was hot, saying: "Your Majesty, I am willing to return the title of Duke of Zhenguo to my eldest brother, and let Yan Shouzhuo inherit the title and the Duke's Mansion to revive the Yan family."

If the Yan family still existed, the title of Duke of Zhenguo should have been inherited by the eldest brother Yan.

Now that the truth has come to light, there is nothing wrong with him returning the title.

Doing this kills two birds with one stone.

Yan Changqing has been granted the title of a king of a different surname and is also the son-in-law of the emperor. This dual identity makes him half a member of the royal family.

Moreover, the title of Prince Anle is higher than that of Duke Zhenguo, so it is useless for him to take an extra salary, it is just icing on the cake.

Giving it to Yan Shouzhuo is completely different.

The title of Duke of the Yan family will be inherited by Yan Shouzhe, who will then carry on the family business.

In addition, Yan Changqing has his own selfish motives.

He gave the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion to Yan Shouzhe and his sister, and became a homeless man. Wouldn't the lady take him in?

Although my wife told him to move in this morning, it might be a good idea to have an extra layer of insurance.

Who among those present here is not a shrewd person?

As soon as he heard it, he understood Yan Changqing's plan and couldn't help but envy him secretly.

From today on, the Duke Zhenguo Mansion will usher in a new glory.

"it is good!"

The emperor slapped his thigh and agreed: "I promise you!"

Without Xie Shu's checks and balances, the emperor had the final say and could do whatever he wanted.

"Come, come, come, quickly draft the decree."

The emperor acted immediately: "Where is Yan Shouzhuo? I saw him that night. Where is he now? Call him here quickly and confer the title on him."

"By the way, give some other rewards. This child has been wronged."

He learned his lesson this time, and had someone call the treasury manager, picked up gold and silver and rewarded him. Then he remembered that Yan Jinyin was a girl, so he rewarded her with some gems and let her make some jewelry herself.

The two brothers and sisters of the Yan family suddenly transformed themselves from illegitimate children who were not allowed to see the light of day to the masters of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Soar.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was ordered to go look for Yan Shouzhuo, and an unexpected figure appeared in the Wende Hall.

The queen, dressed in gorgeous court robes, walked slowly inside accompanied by her maids.

She followed the etiquette, folded her left hand over her right hand, leaned over and knelt down to pay homage to the emperor.

All the civil and military officials in the court were silent, with mixed feelings.

In terms of status, she is the emperor's legally married wife, the empress who is the mother of the country, and the biological mother of the eldest princess and the fourth prince.

But, she is Xie Shu's daughter.

Xie Shu's crime has not yet been decided, but he plotted against the country and was an accomplice of the criminal King Ruyang, so his crime will definitely not be light.

Even if the extermination of the nine clans did not affect married daughters, Empress Xie, as the daughter of a criminal, would not be able to sit firmly on the throne.

Everyone thought she would hide in the harem and refuse visitors.

Unexpectedly, she appeared in front of everyone in the queen's court dress.

What does she want to do?

Queen Xie’s purpose was actually very simple.

She took the initiative to plead guilty and waited for the consequences.

At the same time, she had two requests: one was to clear the name of her biological son who was replaced by Prince Ruyang; the other was that although the Fourth Prince had the blood of Prince Ruyang, he grew up under the guidance of the emperor and her and had never made any mistakes, so she requested that he be given a break.

biological son?

Everyone looked at each other.

It’s not that they want Queen Xie to be in trouble, but they really can’t imagine that Prince Ruyang, who is so cold-blooded and selfish, would still spare the child’s life?

Empress Xie raised her head and looked at Qin Yaoguang with a sad smile: "I would like to thank the princess for her teachings on behalf of Yuan An. Now, can you return my child to me?"

She was not really trying to get her son back, but to let Yan Yuanan walk upright between heaven and earth.

Now, the Xie family is about to be gone, and her future is unknown.

But none of this matters.

Yan Yuanan, no, Qin Yuanan is the emperor's fourth prince.

Yuan An?

The ministers looked at her, then at Qin Yaoguang, and then at the emperor on the dragon throne, and they gradually understood.

It turns out that the child who went to Fengyang Palace to study every month and debated with everyone in the Hanlin Academy was the Queen’s biological son who was lost among the people and then found again?

No wonder, no wonder...

Everyone suddenly realized.

As a result, even the emperor stood up from the dragon throne and asked Empress Xie: "Are you telling the truth?"

Empress Xie said tearfully: "Your Majesty, when has this sinful woman ever lied to you?"

The emperor had no doubt about this.

His fickleness and amorousness does not mean that he is unaware of Queen Xie's love for him.

The emperor recalled Qin Yuanan's appearance and nodded: "I understand, you can go back to the palace first."

"Your Majesty, you won't punish me?"

Queen Xie raised her head and looked at him from afar.

The distance between her and him has never been so far away.

After knowing that her father had committed such a serious crime, she was prepared to be rejected by him.

The reason she came here shamelessly was because she heard that the true life story of the Yan brothers and sisters was exposed, and she wanted to fight for the two children while she was still in the position of Queen.

"What punishment?"

The emperor waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "You go back first. I will come to talk to you after the court session."

The attitude towards her was no different from usual.

Empress Xie was stunned for a moment, then her nose felt sore and she cried, "Your Majesty!"

She always thought that the emperor had no feelings for her, and only gave her the respect that was reserved for the empress because she was a daughter of the Xie family.

Unexpectedly, at this point, he didn't even want to depose her.

The emperor's face was a little unnatural when he was thanked by her. He waved his hand and said, "These things have nothing to do with you and your son. Don't worry."

The queen left with gratitude in her heart, and the emperor asked Qin Yaoguang: "Imperial sister, where is my child Yuan An now?"

Qin Yuanan and the army marched towards the capital. Judging from their speed, they should have passed Anxing.

Qin Yaoguang reported truthfully, and the emperor issued an imperial decree to change his surname, retaining the name "Yuan'an", confirming that he was the fourth prince of the direct bloodline of the emperor and empress.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the ministers looked at Qin Yaoguang with strange eyes.

After counting with my fingers, I found that there are five children in the Princess's mansion.

One pair of siblings are orphans of the Yan family, one is a prince, so do the other two children have some extraordinary identities?
