Liu Weirong almost fainted from crying. How could her cute little baby be taken away?
Wasn't Noble Consort Fang pregnant?
What was the empress dowager trying to do?
Liu Weirong panicked at the thought of not being able to see the cute and chubby baby in the future, and tears began to fall.
" Master, don't cry. A woman who is in confinement can't cry…" Granny Chen was anxious and quickly scooped a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Liu Weirong had no choice but to hold back her tears and look at Granny Chen with a wronged expression.
"Wet Nurse Chen, is it because my status is too low that the Empress Dowager took my little prince away?”
Wet Nurse Chen frowned and thought for a moment. She said uncertainly,"In this servant's opinion, it shouldn't be. Perhaps the Empress Dowager just wants to see the little prince?”
" But there's no need to take Nanny away…" Liu Weirong bit her lip and argued.
Did the emperor have any intentions in this? It shouldn't be possible. It was probably the Empress Dowager's own idea.
Wet Nurse Chen fell silent.
"Master, let nature take its course. This servant thinks that the Emperor will not allow the Empress Dowager to adopt the eldest son. Moreover, Noble Consort Fang is still pregnant and cannot be recorded under her name.”
Liu Weirong thought about it and agreed. She could only suppress the urgency and longing in her heart and wait for Murong Che to come over.
With her status, it was impossible for her to get the baby back from the Empress Dowager. She was not Liu Xiangya, who had connections and was scheming. She could only count on the Emperor.
Ci 'an Palace
A row of braziers was lit in the inner hall, making it warm.
The Empress Dowager skillfully took the swaddling cloth from Granny Liu's hands and lovingly looked at the baby in the swaddling cloth who had already opened his eyes. This noble De could give birth. Look, this little prince was fair and chubby. Thinking of the loud cries during the washing ceremony, he sounded very healthy.
Her black grape-like eyes were looking around without focus. Her little nose was moving, and she would blow bubbles from time to time. She did not cry or make a fuss.
Perhaps it was because she had just finished her milk.
The empress dowager loved him so much. Her face was full of smiles as she hugged the little prince and did not let go.
"Granny Liu, look at this child's eyebrows. "Her eyes are like the emperor's…" The empress dowager nagged.
Granny Liu listened to the Empress Dowager's nagging with a smile.
When the Emperor entered, he saw this harmonious scene. He was originally very unhappy that his mother had secretly taken away the Eldest Prince. Unexpectedly, when he saw this scene, his sword-like eyebrows raised slightly. When the Empress Dowager saw the Emperor come over, she hurriedly smiled and called him over.
Granny Liu and the others hurriedly bowed to the Emperor.
"Emperor, look at how good this little prince looks. He looks just like you when you were young.”The empress dowager looked lovingly at the First Prince and smiled.
Murong Che nodded his head. He went to visit his son every day. His face was really different every day. When he was born, his face was still a little wrinkled, but now it had completely grown out.
"En, mother is right! As Murong Che spoke, he couldn't help but poke at his powder with his finger. A smile flashed across her tender face.
The little prince was in pain from his heartless father. Tears welled up in his eyes. She pouted and burst into tears.
Murong Che was in a good mood when he saw him crying.
He liked to tease him every day.
" Emperor…" The empress dowager glared at the emperor reproachfully. She quickly swayed and coaxed the little prince, but the little prince did not buy it. He continued to wail, breaking the empress dowager's heart.
"Emperor, what have you done?" The Empress Dowager was furious.
"Mother, don't you think that the First Prince cries very loudly?”Murong Che wasn't anxious at all. He casually said something that almost angered the Empress Dowager to death.
In fact, after the first time he made the little prince cry, he was so anxious that he didn't know how to coax him. Later, he realized that if he held his little hand and didn't let go, he would laugh.
He felt that this son of his was very fun and would play with him every day.
"Don't cry, don't cry, aijia's good grandson, don't cry!”The empress dowager's heart ached as she coaxed her eldest grandson, who was still crying.
In the end, Murong Che saw that he had been crying for a long time and felt his heart ache. He reached out his large hand and gently held his small hand. The little prince suddenly stopped crying and opened his teary eyes. His small hand held Murong Che's large hand and he giggled at Murong Che.
Murong Che's expression instantly softened.
The Empress Dowager was flabbergasted.
She stopped crying just like that? Granny Liu was also surprised.
"Emperor, why is this child so obedient to you?”The empress dowager looked at her cold-faced son strangely, feeling a little jealous of her grandson's closeness to him.
"He likes me!" Murong Che's lips curled up slightly as he fiddled with the little prince's soft little hand. He was in a good mood as he replied.
When he was tired and fell asleep, his little hand was still tugging at Murong Che's fingers, looking very attached.
Murong Che didn't know why his son was so clingy to him. Actually, it was because he often ate at Rou Fu Palace and drank the tea brewed by Liu Wei Rong, so his body was stained with some spiritual energy.
Children were very sensitive to spiritual energy. That was why such a strange situation had occurred.
"Mother, why did you bring the First Prince to Ci An Palace?”Murong Che saw that his son had fallen asleep and began to ask the empress dowager coldly. He was a little wary, afraid that she would say that she wanted to adopt the eldest son.
Without a legitimate son, the status of the eldest son was the highest.
He didn't want the Fang family, who was already so arrogant, to have another powerful bargaining chip. It would be fine if the Fang family kept a low profile, but after he ascended the throne, the Fang family became even more arrogant.
Not to mention now, they had repeatedly stopped him from issuing new policies.
Seeing the Emperor's attitude, the Empress Dowager felt a chill in her heart. She smiled bitterly. She just wanted to hug her grandson and see him. The Emperor wouldn't even be wary of this, right?
These days, she also knew what the Fang family had done. Because the Left Minister had fallen, the power of the new Left Minister was too small, so the Fang family, the Right Minister, and the General of the Flying Cavalry formed a three-legged situation.
Of course, the Fang family was still at the top.
The Fang family's actions in court had caused trouble for the Emperor, making her, the empress dowager, very disappointed. In the past, because of the Fang family, she and the Emperor had become estranged. Now, she only wanted to repair this relationship.
She had already sent a letter to the Fang family to advise her brother. As for whether he listened or not, it was none of her business.
She had thought it through now. She didn't have many years left to live, so she should just enjoy the fun of playing with her grandchildren.
"Emperor, this widow doesn't want to care about the Fang family's matters anymore. This widow loves this grandson very much. Seeing him reminds this widow of the emperor when he was young, but don't worry, this widow won't adopt him. I only want him to stay in Ci An Palace for a month. After a full month, Noble De will finish his confinement and be promoted before sending him back!”
The empress dowager was asking for Murong Che's opinion.
Murong Che's eyes flashed with surprise. Wasn't his mother's transformation too drastic? He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before deciding to nod in agreement.
The empress dowager heaved a sigh of relief.
"Has the Emperor decided on a name for the First Prince?" she asked with a smile.”Usually, the prince's name would be announced at the month-old banquet, but the empress dowager wanted to know in advance.
"Yes, his name is Murong Yao." The corners of Murong Che's lips curled up as he spoke of the name he had given the little prince three months ago.
At that time, he had come up with nearly a hundred names and finally chose this one.
It was enough to show how much he valued his son.
"Murong Yao, Yao 'er, not bad!" The empress dowager smiled and nodded.
After that, the mother and son spoke a little more. Murong Che could feel the change in the empress dowager and his expression was not as cold anymore.
After Murong Che left, the empress dowager smiled.
However, when she thought about how Zhiying had given birth to the eldest son of the royal family because of Noble De this morning, the smile on her face disappeared again.
Zhiying's body was too weak, and she couldn't hold her breath.
When she thought of the Fang family's current situation, she had a headache again.
She hoped that the emperor would show mercy to the Fang family on her account.
…………
Rou Fu Palace
This was the first time Murong Che didn't follow the rules and went straight into the delivery room.
Little Li did not dare to stop them. When Granny Chen, Xing 'er, and White Lotus saw the Emperor enter the delivery room, they were stunned. They quickly bowed when they came back to their senses.
"There's no need to be so polite. All of you can leave.”Murong Che said calmly.
Granny Chen wanted to say something about rules but Murong Che glared at her coldly and swallowed her words.
She quickly brought White Lotus Xing 'er out.
Liu Weirong was stunned when she saw Murong Che enter. He actually disregarded the rules and entered the delivery room. She glanced around but did not see the baby. She could not help but feel disappointed.
His heart sank.
"Emperor, why are you here? Where's the little prince?" She grabbed Murong Che's hand and asked anxiously. Did the Empress Dowager really carry him away?
If that was the case, wouldn't she cry herself to death?
"Zhen came to see you." Murong Che sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing her anxious expression, he pressed her hand." Yao 'er is with mother. He will be sent back after one month."”
"Can you really send it back?" Liu Weirong's eyes were slightly red as she grabbed his hand and confirmed.
It wasn't that she was too worried, but in the original novel, the Empress Dowager also took Liu Xiangya's child away like this, but in the end, it was recorded under Fang Zhiying's name.
Murong Che held her hand and smiled faintly,""Don't worry! After a full month, I'll get someone to send Yao 'er back to you.”
Actually, he was still a little suspicious of his mother's sudden change in attitude.
A month was neither too long nor too short.
If his mother really did not interfere in the Fang family's affairs and did not have any designs on the eldest son, he would show mercy to the Fang family in the future for his mother's sake.
Hearing the Emperor's promise, although he was a little dissatisfied, when he thought of the baby coming back, he felt that the month was not so difficult.
She was going to be in confinement anyway, but this way, she wouldn't be able to secretly bring her baby into the space to play at night.
"Yao 'er? Did the emperor give the little prince a name?”She thought of Murong Che's name, Yao 'er. Could it be a name for the baby?
Wasn't the name only given after the full moon?
"Yes! Murong Yao!" Murong Che's lips curled up.
"Since the emperor has given you a great name, can I give Yao 'er a nickname?”Liu Weirong's eyes lit up as she looked at Murong Che.
Murong Che was silent for a while before nodding,""Sure."
"Tuan Tuan, how about it?" she said excitedly.
Tuan Tuan was so cute.
Murong Che's mouth twitched. How could his eldest son have such a childish nickname?
"No, this nickname is not good. Let's call him Yao 'er.”
"What's not good about it? Yao 'er is like a pink ball now. Calling Tuan Tuan is more of an image.”Liu Weirong was unhappy. She had gotten such a nice name, but it was rejected.
"Yao 'er will blame you in the future."
"When Nvqie calls him, if he doesn't say anything, it means he doesn't object. How can he blame Nvqie?”Liu Weirong blinked and smiled slyly.
"..." Murong Che was speechless. Yao 'er didn't know how to speak, so it would be strange if he objected.
However, seeing her insistence, he did not say anything else.
In any case, his father had already fought for him. If he were to complain, he would blame his mother.
"At Yao 'er's one-month-old banquet in a month, zhen will get someone to announce your promotion.”Murong Che reminded her.
Promotion?
Is there a title?
If there was, was she called De Pin?
No matter how she heard it, it sounded awkward. It reminded her of the mother of Emperor Yongzheng in history.
She tugged at Murong Che's sleeve and smiled ingratiatingly,""Emperor, is there a title?"
"Yes, the title is De! In the future, you will be Zhen's De Pin." Murong Che's lips curled up and a smile flashed across his eyes.
Ah, it really was this. Liu Weirong was anxious." Emperor, can you change your title?"”
"What do you think?" Murong Che raised an eyebrow.
Liu Weirong immediately fell silent.
She knew that unless the title of a concubine of the Great Qian Dynasty was stripped away, the title would not change, regardless of whether it was promoted or not.
"You don't like the title I gave you?" Murong Che narrowed his eyes. He felt that this title suited her very well.
" No, no..." Liu Weirong felt the dangerous aura on his body and shook her head like a rattle-drum.
"Uh-huh!" Murong Che nodded in satisfaction.
Liu Weirong laughed bitterly.
Although she was promoted to a concubine, she was very happy. In any case, without the pressure of a concubine, she could be the master of the Soft Fortune Palace in the future.
But this De Pin was too repulsive!
After Murong Che left, Granny Chen and the others knew that the Eldest Prince would be sent back after his first month, so they were relieved.
The news that the empress dowager had taken the Eldest Prince away quickly spread throughout the palace. Everyone was gloating over his misfortune. If one wanted to raise a prince, one had to be promoted to a concubine.
This De Guisheng didn't immediately get a title after giving birth to the eldest son, and the eldest son was even taken away by the empress dowager. It was really too tragic.
Everyone was happy to see Noble De suffer.
When Liu Xiangya heard the news from Bishui, she was very happy. However, she would not relax. She still had to please the Empress Dowager, or she would have no hope of making a comeback.
These days, she still copied scriptures for the Empress Dowager every day.
Although her reputation was ruined, but what kind of person was the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager must have thought of Liu Weirong framing her, or else she wouldn't have summoned her from time to time.
She was slowly waiting for an opportunity to recover.
The Empress in Fengyi Palace was also informed of the news that Noble De had safely given birth to the eldest son. She was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted, making Granny Sun anxious.
A month passed quickly. On the second day of April, which was the day the baby was one month old, the heavy snow that had lasted for half a year actually stopped on this day.
Such a phenomenon made the concubines in the harem hate him. He had already taken the identity of the eldest son of the emperor, and he had even made such a scene. Even if the empress gave birth to a legitimate son in the future, his status would probably not be comparable to the eldest son of the emperor.
Emperor Murong Che was overjoyed.
His eldest son was a man of great fortune.
The empress dowager felt a little complicated, but she quickly put it aside. She truly loved this eldest grandson of hers. The one month they spent together was not fake.
It was a pity that he would have to send it back to Noble De after today.
This made her very reluctant.
Liu Weirong was also present on this day. As the biological mother of the eldest son, she was also the focus of everyone. After not seeing her for a month, she had become even more voluptuous and beautiful.
The little baby was held in the empress dowager's arms, showing the empress dowager's importance to the eldest son. The month-old banquet was held in a grand manner. Officials of the imperial court above the third rank and their wives all entered the palace to attend the eldest son's month-old banquet.
Although his father, Liu Zhihao, was a fifth-grade official, he could also enter the palace to attend the one-month-old banquet of the eldest son. However, this time, he did not bring his wife, Zhang, but his newly married wife, Jiang.
Liu Zhihao could be said to be proud of his success. His third daughter actually gave birth to the eldest son. The eldest son. If he ascended to that position in the future, the Liu family would prosper.
As for his eldest daughter, he was already disappointed in her now. Combined with the evil things that Zhang shi had done, it was likely that she had made up her own destiny.
If his fate was really precious, how could it be suppressed by Wei Rong? Not to mention that she had actually murdered her sister's child.
He was already regretting asking her to take those secret posts.
However, those hidden posts were Zhang shi's doing. Even if he took them back, he didn't dare to let Wei Rong use them.
Liu Xiangya was very happy to see her father in the crowd, but when she saw that the person beside him was not her mother, the smile on her face froze.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Father actually married a wife?
She could not be blamed for having such thoughts, because if she entered the palace, she would bring either the legitimate wife or the other wife. If it was inconvenient for the legitimate wife, she could also bring the other wife into the palace.
