The prince was frantically thinking about the meaning of Xie Zixin's words, but he tried to appease her, "Xin'er, you're overthinking it. I was outside the whole time, and it's impossible for anyone to come in or out, let alone hold a child.
That’s our son.”
"That's our son? What's wrong with his legs?" Xie Zixin didn't want to accept this. Although she wanted to give birth to him, she didn't want a disabled son!
What's the use of such a son? If the prince was not still here, Xie Zixin would have lost his mind long ago.
The prince knew that it was difficult to accept such a child, but even the queen Duan Jianing accepted him, so why couldn't he and Xie Zixin accept it?
But the prince understood that Xie Zixin had just given birth and should not be too excited, so he coaxed her softly, "I have asked the imperial physician, and he said it was because of the heavy bleeding several times before. It might be due to the medication, or it might be something else.
But since this is the case, we all have to face it.
Let's raise him well. I'll name him Li Chengxiang, okay? Even if he has a foot disease, it will be a good omen for us."
Xie Zixin pushed away Li Jingchen, who was half hugging her, and screamed, "Oh no! How can our son be named Li Chengxiang? Our son should be named Li Chengqian."
"Okay, let's call him Li Chengqian." It's just a name, and the prince didn't want to argue with Xie Zixin about this matter at this time.
Li Jingchen was so easy to talk to that Xie Zixin didn't know what to do next. She just threw herself into Li Jingchen's arms and cried sadly.
However, Xie Zixin could no longer do what she did to Li Shihuan last time. After all, he was a son. Even if he had a foot disease, he would definitely become a prince when he grew up.
But Xie Zixin thought in her heart that it seemed that she had to take good care of her body and give birth to her youngest son as soon as possible. If she didn't have a healthy son, she and her eldest son's future life would be unimaginable.
Xie Zixin would not allow herself to fall into that situation. After all, she felt that she still had so much grudges to avenge!
In the end, the prince coaxed Xie Zixin into eating something, then took another look at his second son and scolded the servants who were serving Li Chengqian.
Then he took his men out of Xie Zixin's yard.
As soon as the prince left Xie Zixin's yard, he was chased by a dog and went straight out of the backyard.
The prince felt that he didn't want to go into the backyard recently. Coaxing women was too tiring. He would rather stay in his father's imperial study and read memorials than coax his true love.
The prince left the backyard and did not stay in the front yard. He went straight to the queen's palace. After all, it was such a big matter, and he had to talk to his mother in person.
When the prince arrived at Kunyun Palace, the emperor was also there.
Before the Crown Prince arrived, the Empress and the Emperor had discussed this matter. They were both in agreement: it was just a bastard's child, so they just had to raise him.
Although many royal families would be superstitious about such things, in the eyes of the emperor and empress who have experienced war, staying alive is the most important thing.
Before the prince could even bow after entering, the emperor pointed to the seat next to him and asked him to sit down.
The prince was not so rigid as to insist on bowing, but instead sat down with confidence.
As soon as the prince sat down, the emperor spoke directly, "Your mother and I know everything about your family. You can raise the child! But Xie Zixin can't give birth to another child. She lacks a bit of luck."
Although the emperor himself does not mind this, if the prince's sons are both disabled, it would not sound good if it were made public!
If there is only one, it can be said to be a coincidence, but if there are several, it will be difficult for others not to cause trouble.
The prince hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, "Xie Liangdi is already planning to give birth to another child."
Although Xie Zixin didn't say it, the prince was not a fool and he could see it.
The queen put the teacup in her hand down on the table with a loud bang, "Bad luck!"
The Crown Prince and the Emperor could only stare at the Queen with burning eyes, not daring to breathe, for fear that the Queen's anger would spread to them.
The Queen was speechless when she saw the Crown Prince and the Emperor looking at her. Couldn't she still be angry? The Queen felt that her grandchildren had suffered greatly by being reborn in Xie Zixin's belly.
"Why are you two looking at me? Is what I said wrong?"
Seeing the Queen's displeasure, the Emperor glared at his son, signaling him to speak quickly and not let the Queen vent her anger on him. The Queen was already angry with him over the Rong Fei incident. This time, he was determined not to take the blame for his son.
He praises his own porridge, which is the embodiment of the deep love between the father and son.
The prince saw the look in his father's eyes and quickly echoed the queen's words, "Your Majesty is right, Xie Zixin is unlucky."
"They said she hurt herself giving birth this time and won't be able to have children anymore. Do you still need me to tell you such a simple thing?"
The queen also couldn't accept that her grandson had so many disabilities and looked at what he looked like.
The Queen is increasingly disliking her son, her true love. She is simply unlucky. Such a good child, born like this.
Because of Xie Zixin's value, the Crown Prince and the Emperor had always been concerned about how to please her. They had never considered the Queen's perspective, so after hearing what the Queen said, they suddenly felt enlightened.
The prince praised sincerely, "The Queen Mother is indeed capable."
The Queen felt that the Crown Prince and the Emperor were a bit irritating, so she said cautiously, "I'm tired. Why don't you two go to my study and chat?"
The emperor saw that the queen was still like she was in her youth, showing off her temper and pretending to be tired when she was unhappy. The emperor was not angry, but felt very happy instead.
In this harem, only the Queen treated him the same way as always. What's more, the Queen not only drove him away, but also drove away her own son, right?
The emperor felt that his position in the queen's heart was as important as Chen'er's, and he felt even better instantly.
You have to know that the concubines in the harem say that he is the most important, but if they were allowed to choose, they would definitely choose the child without hesitation and wish he would die soon.
Therefore, the emperor felt that the queen was precious. "Queen, if you are tired, please rest! I and Chen'er will go to the imperial study in front to talk."
The Queen quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off!"
The queen didn't want to see the father and son for even a second longer, for she was afraid that she would not be able to resist beating them up.
The emperor patted the queen's hand and reluctantly instructed her, "Rest well and don't think too much."
After the emperor finished his instructions, he put his hands behind his back and walked out slowly. When he passed by where the crown prince Li Jingchen was sitting, he did not forget to signal Li Jingchen to follow him quickly.
Li Jingchen: Although his mother drove him away, he had no intention of leaving.
But under the emperor's gaze, the prince still stood up, bowed to the queen, and followed his father silently.
