The second year of the Xinhuang Emperor.
Su Xingyi was already able to make decisions with ease in the court.
The old wise king, Dongfang Yinzhang, Xiao Tianci and other loyal old ministers were completely confident in letting Su Xingyi handle state affairs alone, and basically did not go to court.
At the grand court meeting that day, Su Xingyi was absent-minded, his mind completely on Gu Yunshu.
Xiao Lingyu diagnosed that Gu Yunshu would give birth today, but it was unknown when the baby would come.
If Gu Yunshu hadn't asked him to focus on state affairs, he would have been guarding Prince Dehe's mansion by now.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu went to Prince Dehe's mansion last night, so her mother should be able to give birth safely without any difficult labor.
Even so, he was still worried and waited patiently for the ministers to finish their speeches.
Normally, the ministers would debate with each other very quickly, but why are they slower than a snail today?
The Prime Minister said: "Your Majesty, Lord Liang's method is feasible..."
"Approved." Su Xingyi, already impatient, stood up from the dragon throne and descended the imperial steps. "Alright, that's all for today. Send all the important memorials to the Imperial Study. I will summon you then."
The Prime Minister then realized that Su Xingyi was a little absent-minded, which had never happened before. It seemed that only a big event could make the emperor like this.
The important but unimportant thing stuck in my throat was swallowed back into my stomach without saying a word.
Su Xing agreed and all the ministers remained silent. When he turned around and was about to leave, he heard a notification from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Prince Dehe's residence has reported that the princess has safely given birth to a daughter. Both mother and daughter are safe!"
Su Xingyi was overjoyed, he had a younger sister!
Su Xingyi sat back on the throne. "My ministers, Prince Dehe is my uncle and a direct descendant of my grandfather. His beloved daughter is my younger sister. I wish to confer the title of princess upon her. What are your opinions?"
When the ministers saw Su Xingyi's happy face and his tone of excitement and determination, they knew it was obvious that the emperor was determined to make the prince's daughter a princess. How could they dare to object?
"It is meaningless for us to wait."
Su Xing's opinion was not opposed by anyone and he was in a good mood. He quickly ordered:
"Wang Da Nei, quickly go to Prince Dehe's palace and convey my oral order to confer the title of Princess Zhaoren of the First Rank on the prince's daughter. The imperial edict will arrive shortly."
"I obey your order!"
Less than half an hour after Wang Da Nei arrived to deliver the oral order from Prince Dehe, the imperial edict and rewards arrived.
"Mom, according to seniority, is the little princess our aunt?" Su Ningjie asked.
"Yes, it's my aunt." Xiao Lingyu carefully handed the little Princess Zhaoren in her arms to Dongfang Yinzhang.
"Uncle, have you thought of a name for the little princess in advance?"
Dongfang Yinzhang looked back at Shangguan Lan, who was sitting by the bed in the room taking care of Gu Yunshu, and said to Shangguan Mochen:
"Father-in-law, I've already thought of a name for the child. If it's a boy, I'll call him Feng Jinyan, and if it's a girl, I'll call her Feng Jinyao. Yao means beautiful jade. Zhaoren was born this morning, just as the dawn was breaking, so I'll give him Xichen as his nickname. Feng Jin Xichen, what do you think?"
"Feng Jin Xichen?" Shangguan Mochen repeated silently several times, "Yes, Zhaoren's name is Feng Jinyao, and his courtesy name is Xichen."
After Su Xingyi finished dealing with the important matters, he ran to Prince Dehe's mansion.
As soon as he stepped into Prince Dehe's mansion, Su Xingyi noticed that the entire mansion was celebrating the birth of Princess Zhaoren, and the servants all had smiles on their faces.
The key point is that each of them received a reward, and they cleaned the yard carefully for fear of disturbing the little princess with loud noises.
Su Xingyi took the little princess from Shangguan Lan and was reluctant to let her go until the little princess was hungry.
When Xiaowu saw Su Xingyi put his aunt down, he rushed over and hugged Su Xingyi's thighs tightly, using all his strength to climb into Su Xingyi's arms.
My father forgot about his son because he had a younger sister.
He wanted to remind his father that he still had a son to love, no, four sons.
Back at the palace that night, Xiao Lingyu coaxed Xiao Wu to sleep and said to Su Xingyi, "Today I saw that you really like girls. Xiao Wu is jealous."
Su Xingyi smiled and said, "I love him like a father, but I love Zhaoren like an older brother loves his younger sister. They are different. He will understand when he grows up."
"Let's have a second baby?" Xiao Lingyu suddenly said, "Xiaowu is over a year old now. It's time for us to give him a sister. If he loves his sister, he won't think about competing with his aunt for favor."
Su Xingyi took Xiao Lingyu's hand and placed it on his chest, raising his eyebrows: "Then let's go in and make the baby now."
"Asshole, this is what you call foolproof?!"
The next day, Feng Yanzhi learned that Dongfang Yinzhang had a daughter, and was so angry that he smashed Li Haiying's forehead with a teacup.
Li Haiying knew that things had gone wrong, so he could only kneel on the ground and endure the emperor's wrath!
"Master, calm down." Seeing blood pouring from Li Haiying's forehead, Chen Qiao hurriedly spoke up to persuade him, "Eunuch Li is always meticulous. Gu Yunshu must have been poisoned by a drug that makes her unable to conceive. But the Empress is a skilled doctor. Perhaps she examined Gu Yunshu's pulse before their wedding, discovered her infertility, and prescribed a remedy to heal her."
Feng Yanzhi calmed down. His subordinates had been with him for so many years and rarely failed. The only possibility was that Xiao Lingyu had restored her health.
"Li Haiying, go down and bandage it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Haiying picked up the broken teacup, bowed and walked out.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. If Prince Dehe gives birth to a daughter, she will not pose a threat to the young crown prince. Even if he gives birth to a son, Your Majesty and the Empress, no matter how close they are to Prince Dehe, will not allow Prince Dehe's offspring to threaten the young crown prince. They will definitely help the young crown prince eliminate all possible obstacles."
Feng Yanzhi glanced at Chen Qiao. He was right. Xiao Lingyu was such a smart man that he would naturally protect his son's power and status.
But he just couldn't stand the fact that Feng Yulin kept saying that he loved Shangguan Ruian, but in the end, didn't he still get married?
What a hypocrite who thinks he is superior!
Ayi was still so confused that he actually made an exception and named his daughter Princess Zhaoren!
Ayi values and respects him so much, and as his father, he can't tolerate it!
He just didn't want Feng Yulin to have any children, not even a daughter!
"Before, I gave up the throne and supported Ayi because he had no children. If he had a son, it would be a different matter."
Chen Qiao understood that the emperor didn't want Feng Yulin to have a son.
"Arrange for someone to enter Prince Dehe's mansion. I don't want to hear that he has another son."
"I understand. I will arrange it right away."
Chen Qiao never returned, and Su Xingyi arrived seven days later.
"Father, I hope you are well."
Su Xingyi's tone was cold, and his eyes looked at Feng Yanzhi with deep and unfathomable depths.
Feng Yanzhi felt a sudden panic for no reason. He saw the true majesty of an emperor in him today.
Su Xingyi is no longer as gentle as he was when he first ascended the throne.
He wanted to go back and undermine his power, but he was afraid that he couldn't.
It was all Shangguan Ruian’s fault for disturbing his sweet dream.
"Ayi, why did you decide to come to Huangjue Temple to see Father today?"
