After the emperor came out of the Heavenly Prison, he went straight to Concubine Chun's residence.

The people she sent to gather information only found out that Concubine Rong had safely given birth to a child, and did not even find out that she had been named Concubine Rong.

So she had no idea that the midwife had been arrested. Now, looking at the emperor's cold eyes, she began to doubt.

However, the midwife's family is all in my hands, so I don't think she would dare to betray me.

"Your Majesty, why are you here at this time? How is Concubine Rong? Giving birth is a painful experience. I was also in the same situation when I gave birth to Jingning. Your Majesty, don't worry."

She said this to remind the emperor that she had given birth to his child.

The stiff smile on the emperor's face felt like a thorn in his heart, which could not be pulled out or penetrated.

After all, this was the woman who had been with him for more than ten years, and the only woman who had given birth to his child before Rong Xi.

"Noble Concubine Chun, why on earth did you do this?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? I have been staying in the palace to take care of the princess and have not left the house. Whose slander did you listen to?"

"You're not telling the truth."

"Your Majesty, I didn't do it. Why don't you trust me?"

"You still don't tell me. Do you really need me to put all the evidence in front of you before you tell the truth?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you trust me? I'm a mother too. How could I harm a woman about to give birth? That midwife must be making up stories..."

"I didn't mention anything about Concubine Rong, nor did I mention the midwife. How did you find out?"

Concubine Chun knew that she had confessed herself, but she was fine, which meant that the midwife didn't have time to take action.

She crawled forward on her knees for a few steps, clutching the edge of the emperor's clothes tightly. "Your Majesty, I have been bewitched. For the sake of Princess Jingning, I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me and spare me. I will definitely apologize to Concubine Rong."

"Noble Concubine Chun, you have given birth to a child. You should know that giving birth is like going through the gates of hell. How could you do such a thing to Concubine Rong? Where is your conscience?"

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I just wanted to have my own child with Your Majesty. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty."

"You clearly know that I have few children, and that so many people in the previous dynasty and harem are eyeing my position, yet you still... Never mind. It's hard to explain all this to you. For Jingning's sake, I will spare your life. You will spend the rest of your life in Jing'an Temple."

Concubine Chun knelt on the ground in disbelief, and then burst into heart-wrenching tears.

"Your Majesty, what will happen to Jingning if you send me away? I am Jingning's biological mother. Without me, how can Jingning survive in this palace, Your Majesty!"

The emperor ripped away the corner of his clothes that she was holding. "She is my daughter. I will find a good place for her. Come here..."

When the emperor came out, he saw Jingning standing at the door. He thought the child would plead for her mother, but she kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Thank you, father, for sparing my mother's life."

The emperor wanted to take Jingning away, but the child still wanted to say a final goodbye to her mother.

.

The Queen Mother said nothing when she heard the news. She believed that this was the most benevolent and just treatment possible.

After dealing with these matters, the emperor finally had time to return to Chuxiu Palace.

He felt a little cold, so he warmed himself up before entering.

I thought the mother and her two children were all asleep, but when I went in, I saw Rong Xi there, breastfeeding the baby!

The emperor swallowed subconsciously, "Xi'er, why don't you ask the nurse to take her over and feed her?"

Rong Xi was now holding the little princess, and the little prince next to her was still sleeping, spitting out small bubbles from his mouth from time to time. Seeing this, the emperor's nose felt sore again.

Rong Xi was not shy at all. The emperor had seen it before, so he took the little princess's mouth away in front of the emperor.

She was still wondering what the difference was between what the child ate and what the emperor ate, but it was not easy to ask the emperor to try it directly.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up. The child’s rations are not enough, and anyone who steals food can be shot in the head.

"Your Majesty, have you not decided on a name for your child yet?"

In fact, before the child was born, she had thought of several names, such as Rourou, Miaomiao, and Duoduo, which she thought were all nice, but the emperor just said no.

She thought of a few more names like Xiaobai, Huahua, and Huihui Emperor, but still felt that they were not suitable.

She didn't care. She thought these names were nice, so why not?

For this reason, she went to the Empress to reason with her, but as expected, both the Empress and the Emperor felt that it was not acceptable.

The emperor originally planned to have two children, one for himself and one for Rongxi.

As a result, the name Rong Xi chose was so realistic that it was hard to pronounce.

Then he thought of giving one to himself and the empress dowager, but the name the empress dowager chose was really hard to describe.

In the end, I had no choice but to take on this heavy responsibility myself, and look for the name in the book when I had nothing to do.

He started thinking about it since Rongxi became pregnant and wrote a whole page.

But later when I found out Rong Xi was pregnant with twins, I overturned all the previous thoughts and rethought them, and now I have a whole booklet full of them.

He skillfully flipped through the booklet, and found many names already crossed out. Some were names he liked but the empress dowager disliked, and some were names the empress dowager liked but he disliked.

There are also some that the Empress and Consort Shu like. In short, they are drawn all over the booklet.

Seeing that he still couldn't make a choice tonight, Rong Xi simply went to bed. She was very tired today. Not long after she lay down, the emperor heard her steady breathing.

The emperor couldn't sleep at all. He felt like it was all a dream. He really had two more children.

She looked at Rong Xi and then at the two children, feeling never so satisfied.

Rong Xi was not feeling well at the moment, and he originally wanted to go back to the Yangxin Palace to sleep, but he directly asked Shunde to find someone to set up a small couch for him to sleep on.

As soon as the child made a sound, he ran faster than the wet nurse.

I woke up several times that night, and when I went to court the next day, I couldn't hide the fatigue on my face.

The next day!

While Rong Xi was still sleeping, the Queen and Concubine Shu came with Princess Jingning.

Although Rong Xi had been in the palace for quite some time, he had never spoken to Princess Jingning.

The Queen took Jingning's hand and walked to sit next to Rongxi. Jingning was very well-behaved and sat quietly beside her. It could be seen that she was not in a good mood.

Chunhua Qiuyue cooked a few sugar-water eggs for Rong Xi, and seeing that the two ladies and the little princess were there, she served a bowl to each of them.

Jingning sat at the table over there to eat, while the Queen and Concubine Shu sat in front of Rongxi's couch.

"So Princess Jingning will be kept by the Empress' side from now on?"

"Um."
