Zhao Jieyu and Zhao Xuanyi are aunt and niece, and both of them became his women. He also knew that they had close contacts.

Yan Mingting even knew that Zhao Xuanyi wanted to raise Concubine Zhao's child on her own lap.

"Your Majesty, I have discussed with Concubine Zhao and plan to adopt Xian'er under my name." Zhao Xuanyi said.

"Your Majesty, I have been without a child for so many years and I feel so lonely. Please have pity on me and give me a child?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Yan Mingting with a pleading face.

Although she played the victim, she did not talk much about the hardships she had experienced following Yan Mingting for decades, nor did she talk about the hardships she had experienced when she first married him.

She didn't talk about the hard work of managing the harem. She just said that she felt a little lonely over the years and envied others for having their own children. She also wanted one.

"I know that your majesty's children are also my children...but, but I just want a child of my own."

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me and fulfill my wish, okay?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Yan Mingting and said.

Yan Mingting looked at her, then at Concubine Zhao who was silent beside him, "Do you really want to adopt Xian'er into your name?"

"Yes." Zhao Xuanyi nodded. "Xian'er was born to Qingqing. Qingqing is the daughter of the Zhao family. So isn't Xian'er the child of me and Your Majesty?"

"Among so many children, I like Xian'er the most," said Zhao Xuanyi.

She did not hide the fact that the little prince was a girl from the Zhao family. If she hid it, Yan Mingting would think too much, so it was better to say it openly.

In short, she wanted to adopt the little prince under her own name.
