Sheng Xiyan's heart was hit hard again. As a mother, she would feel sad and angry if anyone said that her child was not good.

Empress Duan was about to speak when she heard an announcement from outside the palace, "The Emperor has arrived."

Xuan Ling strode in, and all the concubines, including Empress Duan, stood up together, "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you. May you be blessed with good health."

Behind him, Rong Shuyi and the eldest prince Yu Mo also followed in.

After Xuan Ling sat down, he called out, "Yu Mo, go play with your younger brother and sister."

Yu Mo was two years old at this time and a head taller than Jiang Jiang and Le Wen.

As soon as she saw the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Shui Ling looked at him for a while, dropped the toy in her hand, and ran to Xuan Ling happily in front of everyone.

The dragon robe was too majestic, and he carefully identified whether it was the father who had hugged him.

"Little guy, don't you recognize me?"

As soon as the voice came out, Jiangjiang laughed. Yes, it was his father who had held him, coaxed him, and lifted him up high.

She jumped into his arms with great joy, shocking everyone.

The expressions of the concubines indicated that this child was a flatterer and must have learned these flattering tactics from his mother.

Xuan Ling touched Jiang Jiang's little head, glanced at Sheng Xiyan who was sitting in the back, and said gently: "Go play with your brothers and sisters."

"Ah, ah, ah..." Jiang Jiang was no longer as reserved as when he first came in, and ran to play with toys with Le Wen Yumo next to the seat of honor.

Everyone watched them play. Jiang Jiang picked up a cloth tiger, and Le Wen tacitly held the tiger's butt. The two babies were smiling happily.

But less than a moment later, Yu Mo suddenly slapped Jiang Jiang on the head, causing Jiang Jiang to burst into tears immediately.

Sheng Xiyan hurried out of her seat. Before she reached the front, she saw Xuan Ling reaching out and calling out, "General, come here."

Jiang Jiang touched his little head, tears streaming down his face and walked towards Xuan Ling with his mouth pouting, looking extremely aggrieved.

When he got there, he immediately threw himself into the emperor's arms. After spending a few times together, the child must have believed that this was his father, otherwise why would he hold him up high, give him a wooden horse toy, and coax him?

No one could understand Sheng Xiyan's complicated mood at this moment.

Xuan Ling looked at her and saw tears in her eyes and her hands pinching the corner of her clothes. He was moved and felt a desire to protect the poor mother and son from being bullied.

The Empress Dowager and the concubines watched as Emperor Xuanwu picked up Jiang Jiang, placed him on his lap, and then placed him on his extremely precious dragon robe.

He even coaxed her in a softer voice than ever before, "Jiang Jiang, you are a man. You can't just take a beating. You have to learn to fight back."

Holding his little fist, he said, "Use your fists, use your feet. A good man must never lose his aura. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Shuyi realized that Yu Mo's beating had displeased the Emperor, and she quickly stepped out to apologize, saying, "Your Majesty, Yu Mo is not familiar with the young master yet. He is used to playing with the princess on weekdays, so he acted like this. Your Majesty, please don't blame me, and please don't blame Sister Shengpin."

Xuan Ling called Le Wen and Yu Mo over again, "Yu Mo, you are the older brother, so have fun with your younger siblings. Remember?"

Yu Mo looked back at Rong Shuyi and nodded as if he understood. Xuan Ling stroked his head and put Jiang Jiang down, "Go play with your brother."

At this time, Concubine Liang looked at the Empress Dowager. She had just asked the Empress Dowager for permission to raise Yu Mo yesterday. Although the Empress Dowager did not agree immediately, she thought this was a good idea.

"A child's education is extremely important. Rong Shuyi is indeed lacking in ability. Your Majesty, I wish to entrust Yu Mo to a concubine with both greater virtue and talent. What do you think?"

Concubine Liang looked expectant, while Rong Shuyi was shocked. She knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will teach Yu Mo well. Please don't separate me from Yu Mo."

She cried bitterly and kowtowed continuously. Sheng Xiyan completely understood her feelings. The separation of mother and child is the most painful thing in the world.

Xuan Ling glanced at Sheng Xiyan, and their eyes met. Sheng Xiyan's eyes were full of admiration and gratitude for the emperor.

After a long pause, the Emperor said solemnly, "Mother, Yu Mo is still young and it is not appropriate for him to leave his biological mother. Let Rong Shuyi raise him. As for his future education, we will see when the time comes."

Concubine Liang was about to speak, but the Empress Dowager's eyes signaled her to stop her words.

The Empress Dowager knew that Xuan Ling had been brought up by her since childhood and separated from his biological mother, so she naturally hated this.

"Rong Shuyi, you must teach Yu Mo well and don't let the emperor and I down."

Rong Shuyi kowtowed and said, "Yes, I will definitely do it. Thank you, Empress Dowager, and thank you, Your Majesty."

Today's good morning ceremony at the Cining Palace lasted a little longer because Emperor Xuanwu was present.

Xuan Ling stood up and said, "Mother, I will take the three children to the Imperial Garden to play for a while."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Go ahead. It's rare for the Emperor to have some free time."

He walked out of the palace gate with the three children, with the Queen at his side. Xuan Ling said, "The wind is strong today, and the Queen is weak. Go back first. I will have someone send Le Wen back to Jingren Palace later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xuan Ling looked back and saw a woman squeezed at the back among the crowd of concubines, but she still stood out from the crowd with outstanding grace and grace.

"Shengpin, would you like me to take care of your child?"

His tone was displeased, but Sheng Xiyan wanted it more than anything else. She immediately came out of the crowd and followed him.

The one who was in a dilemma at this time was Rong Shuyi. She was in a dilemma. The emperor didn't say that she couldn't go, nor did he ask her to go. So should she go or not?

Concubine Shu jokingly asked, "Rong Shuyi, are you also going to let the emperor take care of the child?"

Yu Zhaoyi said angrily, "Yes, the emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs, do you think he is idle?"

Rong Shuyi looked shy and quickly walked down the stairs behind Fu. She thought, why not just follow him? She thought, let's just watch the child play. As for whether to go before the emperor, it depends on the situation.
