Seeing that the prince had no other instructions, Duan Jianing quickly added, "You guys, watch your mouths!"
This is the first child born to His Highness after he was enthroned as the Crown Prince. We must not allow anyone with ulterior motives to spread words that are unfavorable to His Highness.
When the Crown Prince heard Duan Jianing's order, he came back to his senses and ordered, "You are the Emperor's men, so you know the importance of keeping your mouth shut."
The four midwives originally thought that after they gave birth to such a sick little grandson of the emperor, they thought that his life would be in vain!
This time, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had no intention of taking their lives, so the four of them immediately responded with gratitude.
It wasn't that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess didn't want to kill these four people, but mainly because these four people were his father's people. If they wanted to kill them to silence them, they would have to deal with everyone who knew about it at once.
Then it is impossible to keep this child. The prince thought that if he put himself in his shoes, he certainly would not want his own son to lose even his own son's life in the future.
With such a cruel prince, my father would be unable to sleep peacefully. Anyway, he is just a bastard, so I will just raise him!
Since the prince has decided to keep the source alive, it doesn't matter whether the others are silenced or not, as long as it doesn't cause a big uproar.
The prince made up his mind and stopped dwelling on the issue. He instead looked at his wife, Duan Jianing, with concern, "Ning'er, you've been waiting for so long, you must be tired. Go back and have a good rest!"
Duan Jianing nodded in agreement, bowed, and walked away holding the hand of the senior palace maid beside her.
The prince looked at Duan Jianing's figure affectionately as she walked away, then he brushed his sleeves and walked in hurriedly with a concerned look on his face.
"Xin'er, Xin'er..."
Who wouldn’t feel that Concubine Xie is favored after hearing the prince’s anxious voice?
Although Xie Zixin did not wake up, the prince was afraid that she would continue to make trouble after waking up, so he held Xie Zixin's hand and waited for her to wake up.
The servants, who were originally worried about their master giving birth to a defective grandson, finally felt relieved when they saw the prince's expression without any disgust.
Especially the servants who served the emperor's grandson were all alert. As long as the prince cared about his son, this young master would not be someone they could neglect.
After Duan Jianing returned to her yard, she had someone serve her some of her favorite dishes. Now Duan Jianing's way of celebrating was to eat some delicious dishes.
Even if this caught the attention of someone, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, she has always been in poor health and her food has always been good.
Duan Jianing felt that she would have to send someone to Miaoqing Temple to build a golden statue for the Goddess of Childbirth after a while. Duan Jianing was happy for a moment, but then she came to her senses and could only regretfully decide to quietly add a large sum of money to the incense offerings.
Sculpting a golden statue was still too high-profile, and she couldn't let the prince know that she was wealthy.
Zhou Qiongyue, who was still under house arrest, also knew the news. She did something similar to Duan Jianing and asked the chef in the mansion to prepare a large table of delicious food.
Zhou Qiongyue, her mother and her two children ate until they were full. Zhou Qiongyue could only take the two children for a stroll around the house.
Yuan Chaokang was so curious about what happened today that made his mother so happy. He wanted to know what happened, so he asked, "Mother, why are you so happy?"
Zhou Qiongyue knew that her youngest son was smart, so if Yuan Chaokang asked, she would not hide anything from him unless it was a secret.
Anyway, Zhou Qiongyue would tell him. As for him not understanding, it didn't matter. He could just treat it as a story. When he grew up to a certain age, he would naturally understand.
"Xie Liangdi gave birth to a son today, who has a foot disease. Xie Liangdi and my mother have a grudge, and since she is not doing well, my mother is naturally happy."
What really made Zhou Qiongyue happy was that Xie Zixin gave birth to a son with a foot disease, so he was not destined for that position from birth. This saved her and the prince a lot of trouble.
Yuan Chaokang understood as soon as he heard it. This child had absolutely no chance of becoming a king, which was why his mother was so happy.
Yuan Chaokang positively affirmed Zhou Qiongyue's mood, "That's something to be happy about."
Zhou Qiongyue reached out and rubbed her youngest son's serious head. "Don't pretend you really understand."
Yuan Chaokang allowed his mother to misunderstand him, and he did not explain. He even moved his head closer so that his mother could rub it more easily.
Yuan Chaochang, who was holding Zhou Qiongyue's hand on the other side, stretched out his other hand and plucked flowers everywhere, as if he didn't hear what his mother and brother said.
In fact, Yuan Chaochang heard what his mother and brother said, but he didn't understand! Rather than being fooled by his brother, it would be better not to hear it!
Zhou Qiongyue was delighted to hear the news, and even the Left Prime Minister Duan, who was already old, was so happy that he wanted to run around the mansion twice and pay his respects to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
Cheng'en Hou Zhou Wencan also heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. He felt that Yue'er was still somewhat lucky, as those who had grudges against her were not yet able to threaten her.
However, Marquis Cheng'en still sent another letter to his eldest son and son-in-law, urging them to work hard.
This time, even Zhou Zhiquan, who was studying hard at Hongtu Academy, received greetings from his old father, asking him when he would achieve success and become a marquis or prime minister.
Zhou Zhiquan didn't know what had stimulated his father, but he accepted his fate and read for an extra hour that night.
Zhou Zhiquan: On the pressure of having a father who wants his son to succeed.
The first thing Xie Zixin saw when she woke up was Li Jingchen holding her hand with one hand and reading a book with the other.
At this moment, Xie Zixin felt as if she had returned to the time of their deep love in her previous life, and tears fell uncontrollably.
The prince took out the handkerchief he carried with him and gently wiped Xie Zixin's tears. "Why are you crying? I'm here!"
When Xie Zixin heard Li Jingchen say this, she felt even more aggrieved and immediately threw herself into the prince's arms, crying breathlessly.
The prince stroked Xie Zixin's back to calm her down, "Don't cry, you're still in confinement after childbirth! Crying too much is not good for your health."
When the prince mentioned this, Xie Zixin thought of their son's legs and immediately came out of the prince's arms like a demon, "Your Highness, our son, our son was replaced, that is not our son.
Our son's feet wouldn't be like that. I've personally taken care of our son for a few years, so I know it best.
Your Highness, you must make the decision for our son!"
Xie Zixin pounded her head frantically while muttering, "What did our son look like in his past life? Why can't I remember? Why can't I remember?"
