Chapter 473 Adoption
When the imperial guards guarding the city gate learned that the Zhou family had arrived in the capital, they immediately took them to the palace.
When Xixi got out of class and heard Xiao Dongzi say that the Zhou family had already gone to Changle Palace, she hurriedly called Chunque and ran to Changle Palace.
She hasn't seen anyone from the Zhou family for a long time!
As soon as she entered Changle Palace, Xixi heard faint crying sounds coming from the palace.
Xixi paused slightly, then rushed into Changle Palace again.
After Xixi rushed into the bedroom of Changle Palace amid the sound of greetings, she looked at the room full of familiar people, and the corners of Xixi's mouth curled up with joy.
I wish my grandma and the others could live with me in the palace.
When Li Jialan saw Xixi running in, she hugged Kang Kang and waved to her happily.
Xixi also ran to her grandmother as soon as possible.
"grandmother!"
When Xixi ran over, except for Wu Yue who cried in Zhou Jianwu's arms, most of the others looked at Xixi in surprise as she was wearing a small dragon robe.
There is a big difference between hearing that Xixi became the emperor and actually seeing the emperor Xixi appear in front of him.
"Xixi, you've grown taller."
Xixi happily stood on her tiptoes and said to Li Jialan, "I will grow taller than Daddy in the future!"
Everyone: “…”
In fact, if you are taller than Ji Sheng, there is no need to do so.
Xixi didn't care about the reactions of the people around her. She looked down at Kang Kang in Li Jialan's arms and said, "He looks just like Pingping."
Pingping has been living with Xixi and is taken care of personally by Nanny Jiang.
Xixi also knew that since Kang Kang came, he would definitely stay.
When Li Jialan heard Xixi mention Pingping, she hugged Kang Kang and asked, "Where's Pingping? How's he? Has he gained weight?"
Xixi thought of Pingping and said with a smile, "He eats a lot. He's a little fat boy!"
Although Kang Kang and Ping Ping look very similar, Ping Ping is a little rounder than Kang Kang.
"ah!"
Kang Kang stood on Li Jialan's legs. It was not known whether he agreed with what Xixi said, but he responded very politely.
Xixi glanced around and said to Li Jialan, "Grandma, are you going to see Pingping?"
Li Jialan subconsciously wanted to nod, but looked around. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ji Mingzhu, who was leaning on the chaise longue, slowly say, "Go, bring Pingping over. Today, we are reunited."
Everyone in the bedroom looked at Xixi silently. Just when they thought Xixi would refuse, Xixi smiled and said, "Okay!"
"I'll call Daddy over too! It'll be lively!"
If the family is reunited, of course her father should be called as well. It’s a pity that her mother didn’t come, otherwise it would be a family reunion.
"no."
Xixi looked at Ji Mingzhu who rejected her and pouted her lips.
She almost forgot that her grandmother and father didn't like each other.
Oh, adults are such trouble.
"All right."
But it wouldn’t count if his father came alone.
Xiao Dongzi went to find someone to hug Pingping, while Xixi, Yuanli, Yuanyi and others gathered together.
When she saw He Zizhen, Xixi patted his handless shoulder and said, "It's okay. With me here, no one will dare to bully you!"
He Zizhen looked at Xixi wearing the little dragon robe and nodded his head with a smile.
At this time, Wu Yue's mood gradually calmed down. She sat next to Zhou Jianwu, waved to Yuan Ruo, and directly put Yuan Ruo into Zhou Jianwu's arms.
They already knew on the way here that Ji Mingzhu didn't have much time left, so Wu Yue wanted Ji Mingzhu to be a witness.
"Mom." Wu Yue didn't know about the intrigues at home. In her eyes, Ji Mingzhu was still the noble eldest princess mother-in-law.
"you say."
Wu Yue glanced at Yuan Ruo, who was sitting obediently in Zhou Jianwu's arms, and said, "I want to adopt Yuan Ruo under Yun Kun's name."
After he finished speaking, the bedroom fell into silence.
No one expected Wu Yue to say such a thing, and there were no signs of it before.
How could she suddenly think of adopting Zhou Yunhai's only son to Zhou Yunkun?
Zhou Jianwu frowned, "Why?"
He asked the questions on behalf of everyone present.
Wu Yue looked at Yuan Ruo, who was looking at her with a puzzled expression, and said, "Yun Hai will have his own offspring in the future, but Yun Kun has no chance."
Yuan Ruo struggled to get out of Zhou Jianwu's arms, feeling a little panicked. What did adoption mean? Why was it adopted?
Wu Yue noticed her grandson's uneasiness and explained to him, "You are only nominally your second uncle's child. You still follow your mother. So..."
"Mother." Zhou Yunjia entered the palace with Zhou Jianwu.
He said to Wu Yue, "I know what you mean, but adopting Yuanruo is not as good as adopting my child."
Although he doesn't even have a wife now.
Zhou Yunjia patted his chest and said, "If I have two sons in the future, I will adopt one to my second brother. If I only have one, then he will inherit both branches of the family."
Wu Yue clenched Yuan Ruo's little hand. Zhou Jianwu's face was gloomy when he thought of his second son who died in the battle, and the people around him looked at each other in confusion.
"Yuan Ruo, yes."
After Ji Mingzhu spoke, the people around silently looked at Yuan Ruo, who was pouting and about to cry.
"I don't want it. I just want to be my mother's son!" Yuan Ruo said crying.
None of the older people dared to refute Ji Mingzhu, but for the younger ones, after going through so much, Ji Mingzhu's prestige in their hearts was no longer as high as before.
"I want to go home!"
Yuan Ruo was regretting it so much. When he was in Haizhou, he shouldn't have thought that since everyone was going to the capital, he had to follow them.
If he had known that coming to the capital would mean he would become someone else's son, he would never have come!
Ji Mingzhu looked at the howling Yuan Ruo and raised her hand to pinch her furrowed brows.
"Stop crying."
Although Ji Mingzhu's voice was not very loud, Chu San's voice was loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear clearly.
"Shut up."
Yuan Ruo was frightened into silence. He was still afraid of the third year of junior high school.
Wu Yue held the frightened Yuan Ruo in her arms and looked at Ji Mingzhu, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
She regretted a little bit what she had just said.
Ji Mingzhu slowly exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "After I die, you can do whatever you want to me."
When Wu Yue heard Ji Mingzhu say this, she immediately knelt down and said, "Mother, this is not what your daughter-in-law meant."
When Zhou Yunjia saw his mother kneeling down, he also knelt beside Wu Yue.
"I meant what I just said."
Regardless of whether Wu Gui divorced Zhou Yunhai or not, she is still Zhou Yunjia's sister-in-law in his heart.
Wu Gui has given so much to the Zhou family. It is impossible for him to watch her son become his second brother's son, even though he feels sorry for his second brother.
But that's not how it works.
If the second brother really wants to adopt a child, then he should adopt his own child and let Yuanruo live with his own mother.
