Chapter 361 The Crown Princess
Baby Ruoxi woke up when it was just dawn.
It was said that the old lady had a short sleep time, and so did her little baby. After all, children digest food quickly and will feel hungry.
"The Queen Mother gave birth to a little princess!"
"Let's not talk about it for now. The Queen Mother went to bed in the middle of the night, and the little princess is also asleep. Wait a minute!"
Baby Ruoxi had a keen hearing. When she heard Nanny Gui and Nanny Qin talking in a low voice outside, her little brows knitted.
The Queen Mother moved, but she didn't open her eyes. She just raised her hand and patted the little girl gently.
Baby Ruoxi knew that the Queen Mother had woken up.
She also knew everything about the harem.
When did the Queen and Huang Lide get together?
The Queen Mother thought about it, it was probably in the previous dynasty, when the Emperor was still a prince, and she was in danger in the harem. It was said that Xiao Yin had the least hope of becoming the crown prince, and she was isolated and watched them fight.
However, because she had a daughter who was smart and clever, she was called the most beautiful and talented woman in Wei.
Thinking about it, in fact, Lin Rou was also beautiful and smart. At that time, she and Xiao Yue were called the two most beautiful sisters in Wei.
The court was in turmoil, the Emperor was at the border, and Xiao Yue was framed by the Concubine Dowager, was poisoned, and married to Shangguan Jinghong.
At that time, Huang Lide was highly valued in the court and became a general. He was good at gunpowder quenching. The private artillery room was in the hands of the third prince at that time. Therefore, Huang Lide placed many fire bombs in the palace when he started the rebellion.
In the end, if Xiao Yin had not come back, he broke into the palace and cut off the fuse of the detonated fire bomb, which saved most of the palace. Otherwise, this huge palace would have become a ruin.
Later, Huang Lide surrendered, and all the soldiers and weapons stockpiled by several princes were reported by Huang Lide and were under Huang Lide's control.
For three years, the emperor has been trying to find the storage location of the fire bombs, but he has never been able to do it.
The queen mother also helped in secret, but found that it was in vain.
Huang Lide has been to the palace very frequently in the past few years. The Empress occasionally mentioned him in front of the Queen Mother, and all of them were praises.
The Queen Mother was an experienced person after all. She had seen a lot, both in the previous dynasty and now.
Therefore, when the Queen Mother's expression was slightly different, she already knew that something was going to happen.
However, there were some things that she couldn't stop even if she tried her best.
Feelings are something that can never be explained.
The court was in danger, and the fire bomb in Huang Lide's hand was missing. Once it exploded, it might not only be the palace, but the entire capital of Wei, which might be burned down to ruins.
As an emperor, even if he couldn't become a wise ruler, he couldn't leave a bad name for all eternity!
Therefore, during these three years, the Queen Mother was thinking of ways to remind the Empress while she was looking for the whereabouts of the Fire Thunder.
"Ah, it's not easy for the Royal Grandmother. So, I'm going to take action. The Fire Thunder can shake the entire capital. It's probably the dragon vein!"
Baby Ruoxi looked at the old lady who closed her eyes but patted her gently, thinking about how to help her.
However, the Queen Mother, who heard the little Xi'er's thoughts, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the little girl.
The little girl also looked at her, and their eyes met, and they seemed to see the light in each other's eyes.
"Xi'er, is Xi'er up?" The emperor's voice rang outside.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is still resting." Nanny Jin hurriedly stopped.
"Ah Jin, let the emperor come in." The Queen Mother turned around and said, then she stood up.
"Mother!" Xiao Yin ran into the room quickly, and immediately went to hold little Xi'er, saying: "Madame Jin, wash Xi'er and prepare goat milk, I want to take Xi'er to the court!"
"Yes!" Madame Jin hurried up and took little Xi'er to change her diaper and wash her.
After seven or eight months of running-in, our baby Ruoxi has long accepted her identity as a little baby, so she let Madame Jin wash her, change her diaper, and help her pee, and she accepted it very calmly.
When she put on the new clothes, baby Ruoxi looked at herself in a daze.
Bright yellow, smelling of phoenix, this must be something that only a princess can wear.
"Xi'er, let's go!" Xiao Yin came out of the room after talking to his mother, bent down, picked up baby Ruoxi and left.
Behind him, Eunuch Gao led a team of eunuchs, holding various things in their hands.
The court was solemn, and all the civil and military officials knelt on both sides.
With the experience of baby Xi'er being carried to court when she was a child, the court officials did not think there was anything wrong with this.
They were just curious, how could the little princess be wearing expensive official uniforms?
Moreover, they were the official uniforms of the princess.
"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Ruoxi Xiao is intelligent and clever, of noble character, has made plans for the Great Wei, has worked hard and made great contributions, and has protected the peace and prosperity of the Great Wei. Therefore, Ruoxi Xiao is specially canonized as the Imperial Princess, enjoying the treatment of a prince."
The voice of Eunuch Gao reading the imperial edict was loud and clear, and all the civil and military officials heard it, and the people outside heard it. It spread to every corner of the palace.
"Indeed, wherever the little princess goes, the weather is good and the rain is good. Even the stone dragon emerging from the water in Yunzhou can be solved so quickly. It can be seen that the little princess is really powerful!"
"Hey, why are you still calling her the little princess? You should call her the little princess, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess!"
"Yes, it's Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Xiao Yue only knew about the lovely little princess being canonized as the Imperial Princess when she woke up.
Last night, she went to accompany the empress.
Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she still helped her brother go to Kunning Palace according to the current situation.
"My brother just came back, and asked me to come and see you. I'll stay here with you!" Xiao Yue didn't say much.
This bloody place is certainly not suitable for men to come, especially the emperor, who can't come here casually.
Therefore, even if the emperor and the empress are still in love, he will not come.
Lin Rou narrowly escaped death, and the huge pain made her regret it a little.
The kind of regret and helplessness that she could not get rid of, perhaps originally just to take revenge for his absence.
To be honest, Huang Lide was just a man with slightly better looks. He did not have the masculinity of an emperor, the appearance of an emperor, or the aura of an emperor.
Perhaps, what Huang Lide gave Lin Rou was more of a kind of obedience.
The emperor was a proud, precious, and somewhat cold man.
But Huang Lide was not like that. He was passionate, persistent, and a man who was particularly good at pampering women.
Even though Huang Lide had three or five wives and concubines in his backyard, this did not prevent him from being good to Lin Rou.
