"Hahaha, it seems that the child is satisfied with the new name." The emperor said with a smile as he looked at Mu Li, who was sleeping soundly in his arms and blowing bubbles.
"It is a blessing for the child to be named by His Majesty." Madam Mu said with a smile.
"Master's wife, you are too kind. This child's arrival is a blessing for the Mu family and for our Zhaoyue Nation!" The emperor said with relief, "She is the lucky star of our Zhaoyue Nation."
"Your Majesty..." The head of the Mu family hesitated to speak.
"Teacher, I understand what you mean. Everyone knows about the Mu family curse, but they don't know that this curse is related to the country's destiny. I will not publicize it and put Xiao Li'er in danger." The emperor said solemnly.
"It seems that the matter of adopting a daughter and canonizing her as a princess needs to be put on hold, and the news that a daughter has been born in the Mu family must not be publicized." The emperor said after careful consideration.
"Queen, please tell your father-in-law as well and don't let the news leak out." The emperor said to the queen.
"Over the years, the four surrounding countries have been eyeing us covetously. If it weren't for the extraordinary cultivation of the Mu family's ancestor a hundred years ago, who overwhelmed the cultivators of other countries and made them wary, and signed a hundred-year peace treaty with us, we wouldn't have been able to enjoy peace for so many years."
"As the hundred-year period is approaching, other countries are ready to make a move, so the most urgent task is to protect Xiao Li'er and then catch those spies from other countries in secret. When Xiao Li'er is a hundred days old, I will announce it to the world and everyone will celebrate together." The emperor said with determination.
Everyone nodded.
The emperor held Mu Li in his arms and patted her back gently, his eyes full of love.
"I hope Xiaoli'er can grow up quickly."
At this moment, Mu Li was blowing bubbles from the corners of her mouth, as if she was having a sweet dream.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time to return to the palace," the queen reminded.
"Then let's return to the palace."
As the emperor and his entourage arrived at the palace gate, they saw the young eunuch from the prince's palace rushing towards them.
"Your Majesty, that's the young eunuch from the Crown Prince's Palace," the Empress said to the Emperor upon seeing the person coming. "Why is he in such a hurry? Could something have happened to Xi'er?"
The queen suddenly became anxious.
"Don't be anxious, ask him to come over and answer." The emperor ordered the man to be called over.
"Your servant greets the Emperor and the Empress!" The young eunuch knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Stand up and answer. Why are you in such a hurry to leave the palace?" asked the emperor.
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty, the prince has woken up. I went to Kunning Palace, and the palace servants told me that Your Majesty and Your Majesty had left the palace and gone to Mu Mansion. That's why I was anxious to leave the palace to report this good news to Your Majesty and Your Majesty." The little eunuch said excitedly.
"My son has finally woken up, Queen, let's go back to the palace quickly." The emperor was very excited when he heard that his son, who had been sleeping for many days, had woken up.
"Okay, let's go to the Eastern Palace quickly!" The queen was also very excited and ordered her entourage to go to the Eastern Palace.
"Today is such a good day. It seems that Xiaoli'er is really our lucky star." The emperor lowered his voice and said happily to the queen.
"That's true, Your Majesty. Do you remember the letter I showed you this morning?" the Queen said happily.
"How could I forget? My father-in-law said in the letter that he observed the sky last night and found a new star shining next to the prince's star. It even brightened the prince's star. Perhaps the owner of this star is the prince's destined person." said the emperor.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember what your father said last?" asked the queen with a smile.
The emperor remembered that the letter said that at dawn he saw the fateful star fall into the Mu Mansion, and guessed that the Mu Mansion might give birth to the person destined to be the crown prince, so they hurried to the Mu Mansion to find out.
As expected, a baby girl was born in the Mu family, breaking the century-old curse, and the prince also happened to wake up...
It is really a blessing from heaven for me, Zhaoyue!
"Empress, from now on we must love little Li'er to death and never let her suffer even the slightest bit of grievance!" Thinking of this, the emperor felt that Mu Li was the lucky star sent by God to save them.
"Do I need you to tell me this? When I return to the palace, I will pick a few capable people to go to the Mu Mansion to take care of Xiao Li'er's food, clothing, and daily life." If the situation did not allow it, the queen really wanted to bring Xiao Li'er into the palace to raise her.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll pick two Dragon Shadow Guards and send them to the Mu Mansion to protect Xiao Li'er in secret." The emperor nodded repeatedly.
"good."
The sunlight shines through the window, and the mottled light and shadow are reflected on the quiet table, adding a touch of warmth to the cold palace.
The young prince sat at his desk, reading a book intently. His neatly trimmed silver hair fluttered gently over his shoulders. His features were delicate and chiseled, and his skin was fair and delicate, as if shrouded in a faint glow.
"Xier, you're really awake!" The Queen's voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps.
When the queen saw her son sitting there and looking up at her, she cried out in excitement.
At that moment, she was not the queen who ruled the country, but just a mother who was anxious to see her child safe and sound.
"Mother, I'm fine, please don't get excited!" The prince walked forward and gently held the queen's hand, comforting her.
"Is my son really awake? Queen, why are you running so fast? I can't catch up with you even if my legs are about to break!" The emperor's breathless voice came from outside the door.
"Father, I'm awake now. I'm sorry for making you worried." The prince turned around and bowed to the emperor.
"It's good that you woke up, it's good that you woke up! My son looks in good spirits this time after waking up. Is there anything wrong with him?" The emperor looked at the prince and asked.
"Your Majesty, I feel fine and not unwell."
