Because in all dynasties, there was a distinction between the emperor and his subjects. The emperor was high above everyone else, and even if he did something wrong, he would not apologize to his subjects.
If the emperor made a wrong judgment and wronged the minister, and the minister was punished, he would still have to say against his will, "Your Majesty is wise, thank you for your grace."
Zhou Yibai was completely shocked when he heard Xia Zhengqi's apology.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Zhou Yibai muttered with a dull look in his eyes.
"You heard it right. I said, I'm sorry." Xia Zhengqi walked up to Zhou Yibai and looked into his eyes.
"I heard about the years of exile you and your family have gone through. I also heard about your daughter. I regret it and I hate myself!" Xia Zhengqi spoke with difficulty, his eyes were red, and he clenched his fists and pounded his chest.
"All of this is my fault. I am guilty of negligence."
[Oh my god, Daddy, you actually reflected on yourself in front of the minister. You are so awesome! You are my pride!]
Xia Miaoyuan was also shocked when he saw Xia Zhengqi put aside his imperial dignity and sincerely reflect and apologize.
Zhou Yibai's lips trembled with excitement, his eyes were red and filled with tears.
"Your Majesty..." He had just said two words when he burst into tears.
Eunuch Debao was very tactful and took the little princess from his arms.
"Yibai, I have decided to severely punish those who framed you. They will be exiled a thousand miles away and will not be allowed to return to the capital until their death."
"The escort officer who abused you and ignored you will be dismissed and investigated, and all his embezzled property will be confiscated."
"Don't worry, I won't let any of those who harmed you back then go. I'll make them pay you back a thousandfold for all the suffering and pain you've endured!"
Xia Zhengqi's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word came from the heart.
"Your Majesty, how can you reflect on yourself?" Zhou Yibai burst into tears.
"Yibai." Xia Zhengqi stepped forward and held Zhou Yibai's hand.
"Although I have considered this issue, it is my fault that my ministers have been framed and punished because of my mistakes."
"What do you mean by 'Nine Fives', 'True Dragon Emperor'? He's still a human being after all. Why should he expect his subjects to be grateful to him just because he made a mistake?"
Zhou Yibai's knees buckled as he knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler. You are a blessing to Great Xia!"
"Get up quickly!" Xia Zhengqi pulled Zhou Yibai up.
"Yibai, I know that some things have happened and cannot be undone. I can only do my best to make amends."
"I will reinstate you to your original position. You will still be in command of the Imperial Guards, protecting the safety of the capital."
"I will also give you a house in the capital, a thousand taels of gold, and a thousand acres of fertile land. Your son can enter the Great Hall and study with the other princes."
Zhou Yibai's eyes were filled with emotion, and his tears and snot were running all over the place.
"Thank you, Lord!" It was just a short sentence, but it came from the heart, and every word was full of true feelings.
Xia Zhengqi inherited the throne at the age of 24 and sat on the dragon throne for 12 years.
He had heard ministers and concubines say "Thank you, Lord, for your grace" so many times that he couldn't count them.
But no other “thank you God” could be more sincere than today’s.
Xia Zhengqi only felt a hot and powerful force surging into his heart.
[Daddy, you did it. You exchanged sincerity for sincerity.]
[You relied on your sincerity to retain the powerful general of Daxia.]
Xia Miaoyuan sat on the couch in a daze, completely moved by the scene.
Three days later, several officials involved were imprisoned and punished; Zhou Yibai moved into a brand new house with his wife and son, and he returned to the imperial guards and put on his shining armor.
The 100,000 soldiers of the imperial guards were all filled with tears and their hearts were filled with excitement when they saw Zhou Yibai again after three years.
In order to show his sincerity, Xia Zhengqi specially wrote a self-reflection edict and asked the prince to send it to the imperial guards camp and read it in front of all the soldiers.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the 100,000 imperial guards were excited. They all praised Xia Zhengqi's wisdom, shouted slogans passionately, and vowed to defend the capital with their lives and be loyal to Emperor Mingxi.
The weather is getting colder, and Xia Miaoyuan needs to wear a padded jacket even when playing in the inner room.
She is now over five months old and has gained a lot of weight.
Thanks to her unremitting efforts, she can now climb very fast.
Moreover, he could stand up by himself by holding on to furniture.
[The days of not being able to walk freely are truly boring. This princess must practice hard and strive to learn to walk as soon as possible.]
Xia Miaoyuan held his breath and was determined to learn to walk as soon as possible.
That afternoon, she again refused to take a nap and insisted on practicing standing by holding on to the furniture.
Nanny Li had no choice but to stay with her.
"Mother, after the morning court session today, my third uncle asked me to tell you something."
The second prince's voice came from outside the window.
[Huh? What's the message? Is it good news or bad news?]
Xia Miaoyuan listened attentively and calmly.
The queen then asked, "What message did your uncle ask you to deliver?"
"My uncle said that my aunt is much better now, and the baby in her belly is safe and sound, so you can rest assured."
The queen was delighted when she heard this and said, "Oh, the Bodhisattva has blessed me! This is so wonderful."
Then came the sound of footsteps coming in through the curtain.
"Miao'er, let's go to your uncle's house to play!" The queen picked up Xia Miaoyuan, her face full of smiles, and kissed her daughter hard.
Xia Miaoyuan was so happy to hear the good news that she hooked her arms around the queen's neck tightly and, imitating what the queen had just done, kissed her hard on the face.
The queen wiped her face, which was covered with her daughter's saliva.
"Hahaha, Miao'er!" The queen couldn't help laughing out loud.
The queen took the second prince and Xia Miaoyuan on a carriage and arrived at the Xiao Mansion in less than a quarter of an hour.
Jiang Yuru sat on the chair, her face was slightly rosy, her belly was bulging, and her whole body was rounder. She finally looked like a normal pregnant woman.
"A few days ago, the emperor's secret guards helped us get the antidote. After I took it, I feel better and better every day." Jiang Yuru smiled.
"It's all thanks to you, Queen Sister, that I know about the existence of that female healer."
[Yes, he is the number one doctor in Daxia. Later in the book, he helps the Crown Prince of Liang conquer his kingdom with his medical skills.]
Xia Miaoyuan sat on the couch beside him, shaking the rattle in his hand and complaining in his heart.
What?! In the original destiny, this female healer actually ended up helping the Liang Kingdom?! This can't be right.
After hearing her daughter's thoughts, the queen felt anxious.
The Queen took Jiang Yuru's hand and said, "We are all family. These are what we, as sisters and brothers-in-law, should do. If you say these, it will seem strange."
"It's just a pity this time. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to invite this female doctor to come out of retirement, but she refused."
