Chapter 597 She is also the child's mother
It would have been fine if she didn't explain. Once she did, Zhao Chengye's face became even uglier.
What's wrong with breastfeeding? He is her husband, so why can't I watch? They have done more intimate things before, so what does this count as?
Did Xu Muhua do this on purpose?
He looked at her expressionlessly.
Xu Muhua was unmoved.
Pei Shaorong was used to the two of them being like this, so she fed the child calmly, put on her clothes, and then said softly: "Okay, don't fight anymore, I know you are all doing this for my own good. Your Majesty, why are you here?" He
had one expression when facing Xu Muhua and another expression when facing Pei Shaorong, as if he was changing his face!
The expression on Zhao Chengye's face softened instantly, and he strode to the bed and sat down. He first looked her over, and only felt relieved when he saw that she was in good spirits and her face had regained its rosy color, and then he paid attention to his son.
"I was worried, so I came to see if you were awake. How do you feel now?"
"I'm fine, and I'm much better now. Have you seen our son? Do you want to hold him?"
Pei Shaorong asked tentatively.
She knew that some emperors were particular and refused to hold their own children in their own hands. She also knew if he was the same.
Zhao Chengye hesitated: "But I can't do it."
The child looked too small, not much bigger than his palm, and it looked like it had no bones. He had never held such a small child, and was a little worried that his posture was wrong and he would hurt the child.
"If you don't know how, you can learn. It's very simple. I'll teach you."
Pei Shaorong said as she handed the child to him.
Zhao Chengye did every move she said, but his movements were very stiff, just like a robot, which made Xu Muhua couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to be so nervous. Besides, the child is not that fragile. As long as you don't move too big or too roughly, it won't affect him."
Not to mention that he was wrapped in a swaddle.
Probably because he didn't want Xu Muhua to look down on him, Zhao Chengye adjusted his posture and it was really much more natural. The child had just drunk enough milk and was held by someone else. Maybe he was a little uncomfortable. His face moved, and his eyes, which were originally closed, actually opened a slit! The gap gradually became larger, and finally opened completely!
Judging from the outline, the eyes look very similar to Zhao Chengye, and the eyeballs are pure and transparent, like gems.
Pei Shaorong was very surprised, "Oh, look, he opened his eyes!"
Zhao Chengye was also surprised and excited.
Xu Muhua also came up and praised, "Arong, look, his eyes are very beautiful, and his eyeballs are black!"
Black and big!
So clean and pure that it reminds people of the blue sky after the rain and the clear springs in the mountains.
Pei Shaorong also looked at the child's eyes, "Well, it's beautiful, like the emperor."
Xu Muhua couldn't help but curl his lips.
Zhao Chengye noticed it, but chose to be blind, and said proudly, "Of course, this is the child of Arong and me. His eyes are like mine, but his mouth and nose are like Arong!"
Xu Muhua cheered up. It doesn't matter. Zhao Chengye is the emperor and he must not have much time to accompany his children. She and Arong will watch the child grow up, and the child will be very close to them. After spending more time together, maybe the child will have some of her shadow!
She is also the child's mother!
If Zhao Chengye knew that she was thinking this way, he would probably be so angry that he would laugh.
After all, the child is still young. After drinking, he closed his eyes after a while and began to sleep.
Seeing that the child was asleep, Zhao Chengye stopped holding him and gently put him on the crib. He talked with Pei Shaorong for a while before getting up and leaving to take care of government affairs.
Zhao Chengye actually wanted to make the child the prince as soon as he was born, but was rejected by Pei Shaorong.
They had discussed this matter before. Pei Shaorong felt that the child had just been born and nothing was certain or clear. It was inappropriate to make him the prince rashly. The issue of the crown prince concerns the country and the people, so one should be very cautious.
If you really want to make the eldest son the crown prince, you should wait until the child is a few years old before making a decision.
Zhao Chengye thought about it and felt that it was a good idea, so as to avoid the ministers of the previous dynasty complaining again.
But after all, he is the eldest son, which is of great significance. In addition, Zhao Chengye has just ascended the throne and has not issued a general amnesty. As soon as the eldest son was born, he issued a general amnesty in this name.
When the child was one month old, it was finally the day for the late emperor to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
The Qin Wang, who had been quiet and honest for a while, jumped out again and said that the late emperor was poisoned by the new emperor. He also led a group of people to rebel - of course, the Qin Wang did not admit that he was going to rebel, he thought he was setting things right!
Regarding the death of the late emperor, in fact, everyone has accepted the facts and the truth. He was so unlucky to be bitten by the poisonous scorpion, and he was weak at the time. He was already in a sick state, and then he was poisoned, and he could not be saved.
It’s just that this way of death is a bit embarrassing to tell others. In order to maintain the face of the late emperor, they only said that he died of illness, and did not disclose the truth to the people.
Unexpectedly, the thoughtful behavior of the new emperor gave the opportunity to King Qin to make trouble.
Zhao Chengye was not stupid. Everyone knew what King Qin was thinking, but he was just blatant. So he had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity to deal with King Qin in a legitimate way.
Otherwise, those ministers would not know what to say about him, saying that he could not wait to settle accounts with his brothers as soon as he ascended the throne.
King Qin committed suicide, so he could not be blamed for not caring about the relationship between brothers.
But in the end, the new emperor was merciful. Qin Wang was stripped of his title, demoted to a commoner, and sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, never to return to Beijing for the rest of his life!
As for his wife and daughter, they also followed him to guard the imperial mausoleum.
The remaining princes all became obedient. They didn't have much to think about in the first place, and after the Qin Wang incident, they had even less to think about.
The new emperor has ascended the throne, and he has been the crown prince for quite some time, so his foundation is solid. Unless they are 100% sure, they would be courting death if they want to seize power and usurp the throne. It's not bad to be
an idle prince, at least it's better than guarding the imperial mausoleum and never being able to return to Beijing for the rest of your life, right?
You don't need to experience it to know how hard the days of guarding the imperial mausoleum are!
When the late emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the funeral was truly over. Everyone's life began to return to normal.
The new emperor's harem was clean, so the queen Pei Shaorong naturally had nothing to do. She and Xu Muhua spent the whole day watching over the growing child.
The child grew up quickly, and when he was a hundred days old, the little prince had become fair and tender, and extremely adorable!
