Su Zhiruan used his peripheral vision to see the expressions of the Emperor and Empress at this moment.

In that instant, she lowered her head and said vaguely, "If Your Majesty believes, then I am. If Your Majesty does not believe, then I have my own proof to verify my identity."

What she said was a little too arrogant. The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at her sideways, but said nothing.

The two sides remained in a stalemate for a while.

Neither Su Zhiruan nor the emperor spoke a word, and the eunuchs and palace maids also lowered their heads and did not dare to make any noise.

Perhaps the atmosphere was too strange. When the queen looked up at Su Zhiruan, she found that there were four maids following her, each holding a baby in her arms. So the queen broke the silence and asked, "What are you holding in your arms?"

"Your Highness," the leading old maid quickly bowed and replied respectfully, "These four are Miss Su's children. We are the maids in the Crown Prince's mansion and have been ordered to take care of the children."

“Four, four?!” The queen almost thought there was something wrong with her hearing, or that she was seeing double due to her old age, so she stood up and said, “Say it again? I didn’t hear you clearly!”

The moment the queen stood up, the emperor also looked over. At this moment, his mind was occupied by the four children and he had no time to practice Tai Chi with Su Zhiruan.

"They are quadruplets," Su Zhiruan said helplessly as she saw the queen hurriedly checking Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, "They are all children of the common people."

"Quadruplets?! Four?!" The queen was stunned. She and the emperor looked at each other. It was obvious that neither of them believed what they saw was real. "These, these are all your children?!"

The emperor opened his mouth wide and walked to Xia Xia, the only one awake. Even his movements became cautious, for fear of hurting Xia Xia. He just stretched out his finger and touched the soft cheek of the baby. He immediately withdrew his hand and dared not move again.

It was no wonder that they were surprised. The palace maids and eunuchs serving in the Zichen Palace were all dumbfounded when they heard that these four babies were quadruplets born at one time by Su Zhiruan.

"They are all my children." Su Zhiruan made the final decision, leaving the others in disarray.

In the State of Shen, in the huge harem, only the queen gave birth to Shen Qingman, and there was also a princess who was rumored to have lived among the people. Apart from that, the royal family had been sparsely populated in recent years, with few offspring, and even no collateral lineage.

Everyone in the palace was at a loss as to what to do, and even hiring famous doctors from all over the world was of no avail.

In their minds, having offspring cannot be forced, and even if they want it, they have to let it be.

But after meeting Su Zhiruan today, the empress realized that there are people who can give birth to four babies in one pregnancy! And each of them is white and tender!

"Your Majesty!" The Queen suddenly turned around and knelt to salute the Emperor. She looked at Su Zhiruan's four babies in the cradle with reluctance, and her tone became firm. "I have not had any wishes for so many years, but now I want to ask Your Majesty for one thing!"

The emperor looked at Su Zhiruan, then at the four children. He was also thinking. After hearing what the queen said, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back and brought the topic back to the beginning.

He looked at Su Zhiruan, "When you entered the palace just now, you said that if I didn't believe you, I would have a way to prove your identity and prove that you are my princess. Now you might as well bring out all your so-called evidence."

Su Zhiruan chuckled and continued to salute, his tone unchanged, "When I was a commoner, I often heard that Shen State has always worked hard to govern, the government is in good order and the people are in harmony. It is the so-called prosperous times, and the people have enough food and clothing. It's just that recently there have been occasional bandits disrupting this situation."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and his Adam's apple moved, but he did not speak. Instead, he waited for Su Zhiruan's next sentence.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has verified in many ways that I have royal blood, which means I must have the bravery and fighting spirit of my ancestors. If I can resolve the crisis in Shen State and restore the country to a prosperous state, then this will be self-evident." Su Zhiruan said in a relaxed tone. After she finished speaking, she maintained her current movements, waiting for the emperor's words.

Her words were not particularly subtle, and could even be considered opportunistic.

First, she flattered the royal family of Shen State, and then subtly pointed out that she also had such ambition and talent.

In name, Shen Qingman is looking for a princess of the royal family, but compared to an insignificant princess, if she can have real talent for governing the world and change the situation in Shen State, that is what the emperor wants.

"Okay!" (End of this chapter)
