Chapter 91 The Emperor is in a Dilemma
After he finished writing, he handed the rice paper to Wen Li'er.
——Yan Xingyi——
Wen Li'er's eyes lit up instantly when she saw these three domineering words.
“It sounds nice!”
The word "Yan" itself means "peace and tranquility", such as "Hai Yan He Qing" which means peace in the world.
The word "punishment" symbolizes majesty, rules, power, and justice, and represents the spirit of being upright, impartial, and impartial.
Yi is composed of four "fires", symbolizing a blazing flame, implying brightness, warmth and vigorous vitality.
Wen Li'er felt a little embarrassed when she thought of the random names she had given herself before.
She asked carefully, "Your Highness, what's the child's nickname? What's it called?"
Yan Shixu met her expectant gaze and slowly said, "How about the word 'Xiao'? The 'Xiao' in 'Xiao Xiong'."
Owl?
"Xiaoxiao sounds good!"
Yan Shixu paused slightly, saying that the two reduplicated syllables weakened the domineering power of the word.
But seeing Wen Li'er's happy look, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"Then call me Xiaoxiao."
Wen Li'er turned sideways, took the little guy lying beside her into her arms, and repeated his name in a gentle voice.
"Xiaoxiao..."
"Xiaoxiao..."
"Xiaoxiao..."
The little kid looked at her with a pair of bright eyes, then turned his eyes to look at Yan Shixu beside him.
He didn't understand what Wen Li'er was saying at all, but that didn't stop him from grinning happily.
Wen Li'er couldn't help but think of her and her brother's nicknames, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
What names did their parents give to their siblings?
They were too embarrassed to tell others about it.
Fortunately, His Highness didn’t know, otherwise he would definitely laugh at her!
…
This side of the Cining Palace.
After the child was born, Yan Shixu immediately sent someone to tell the Queen Mother and the Empress the good news.
Attached to it was a piece of rice paper with the child's name written on it.
The Queen Mother looked at the two names, one big and one small, and nodded with satisfaction.
Originally, the emperor should give a name to the grandson when he was born.
But the emperor is unreliable, so don't expect him to come up with a reliable name.
Yan Xingyi, very good.
She directed her instructions, "Zhong Yun, go there in person and deliver the gifts that I and the Queen have prepared to Qionghua Palace. Bring the child over to us."
Nanny Zhong bowed in response and went to the East Palace with a group of palace servants.
In Qionghua Palace, Yan Shixu personally fed Wen Li'er a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
Xiaoxiao opened his big, bright eyes, his eyeballs moving with the bowl and spoon in Yan Shixu's hands, and small bubbles came out of his mouth.
Wen Li'er asked uncertainly, "Is Xiaoxiao hungry?"
Nanny Qin smiled and said, "I will take the child to the wet nurse right away. I just heard her say that she will feed the young master in half an hour."
Wen Li'er nodded and gave some instructions with some concern.
"Mammy, you just stay there and look after the child. Qingzhu and Qingmei will take care of me."
Nanny Qin responded, "Master, don't worry. I will take good care of the little grandson."
Not long after Nanny Qin left with the child, people from the Cining Palace and Fengxiang Palace came and gave her a lot of gifts.
In the past, Wen Li'er would naturally dress properly and kneel down to express her gratitude.
But the situation was special now, so she didn't get out of bed.
Nanny Zhong smiled and congratulated the Crown Prince, then added, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother and the Empress are waiting in the Cining Palace. You and the Crown Princess should bring the child over to show them."
Yan Shixu couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
"Can you carry such a small child outside? What if he catches a cold from the wind?"
Nanny Zhong was startled, then smiled and said:
"Your Highness, rest assured. Just take the necessary protective measures. Your Highness, the three princes, and Princess Tai'an were all taken to the Cining Palace on the day they were born. They are all fine."
As for Princess Taiping, the Queen Mother stayed in the Queen's Palace all night and witnessed her birth with her own eyes.
Therefore, Princess Taiping's status in the Queen Mother's heart was unmatched by any other princes or princesses except the Crown Prince.
Yan Shixu felt a little relieved after hearing this.
…
Cining Palace.
When Yan Shixu and Xie Zhenrong brought the children over, the emperor and the empress were both there.
No one doesn't like their own bloodline, and the emperor was also happy because he had a little grandson.
Although he had been quite dissatisfied with Yan Shixu recently, he still gave him a smile.
"From now on, you are also a father. In the future, remember to think twice before you act. It is better to be cautious."
Yan Shixu bowed and responded.
Then he waved his hand and asked the wet nurse He to bring the child forward, and Xie Zhenrong followed.
The Queen Mother and the Empress lowered their heads to look at the child, only to be met with a pair of round eyes.
The Queen Mother was surprised: "This little guy hasn't fallen asleep yet?"
The Queen Mother held the child in her arms and was so fascinated by the child's grinning face.
The Queen also nodded and said, "It seems that he is a child who loves to laugh."
When Yan Shixu heard what the queen said, he couldn't help but think of the faint smile that Wen Li'er always had on her lips.
It would be nice if I had a personality like hers.
The emperor felt a little depressed when he saw them surrounding the child and isolating him from the outside.
Finally, Nanny Zhong held the child and took a look at him.
But what was unexpected was that after seeing the emperor, Xiaoxiao burst into tears.
This scared everyone, and the emperor's face turned completely black.
You laugh when you look at the Queen Mother and the Empress, but cry when you look at him?
What does this mean?
The empress dowager glanced at the emperor's swollen and dark eyes, and stared at his gray and sunken face for a long time.
It's no surprise that this look scared the child to tears.
She asked casually, "Your Majesty, how is your health lately? I heard that the Emperor has attended court three times in the past ten days."
A trace of guilt and embarrassment flashed across the emperor's face.
He thought about how he was the one who wanted to take back the government power, and he didn't want to lose face.
The emperor puffed out his chest and tried to open his eyes wide.
"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine."
As to why he was always absent from the morning court, he did not say a word.
Xie Zhenrong secretly rolled his eyes.
Is this what you call "alright"? You're so exhausted and still trying to be brave?
You deserve it!
The Queen Mother did not ask any further questions, but just waved to Nanny Zhong to bring the child back.
She coaxed the child softly for a while, and the child laughed again.
She then said, "Nothing is wrong at all. I'm relieved. I heard that the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Liao was very effective for the Emperor. Your Majesty must follow the doctor's instructions and don't forget to take the medicine every day."
The emperor looked even more embarrassed.
The medicines prescribed by that damned Doctor Liao are becoming less and less effective.
Originally, he thought his body was almost recovered, so he favored Yang Guifei in Guanju Palace.
But since that time, my body has become weaker and weaker, like a deflated ball.
He asked Doctor Liao to prescribe medicine for him again, but the effect of the medicine became less and less.
He was so angry that he wanted to chop Doctor Liao to death.
But if the person is chopped to death, who will prescribe medicine for him?
Just a few days ago, he scolded He Yuanpan and other imperial doctors for being useless and threatened to chop off their heads.
The emperor now understood what it meant to be in a difficult situation and to shoot himself in the foot.
Moreover, he is now somewhat unable to handle state affairs, so the morning court sessions have been cancelled again and again.
He wanted to let the prince continue to run the government, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.
After all, it was he who seized the power of the crown prince a few days ago. To give him power again now would be like slapping himself in the face, wouldn't it?
The emperor could only grit his teeth and hold on.
