What Xiao Xieyun didn't say was that he had already ordered the screening of spies inside and outside the palace, and also clarified the rumors outside.
So, just as the people heard the rumors and saw the man being arrested by the soldiers, they heard the clarification from His Majesty.
The teahouse is still very lively at night.
"Your Majesty's clarification this time was quite quick."
"Who dares not to quickly clarify this kind of rumor? If we wait until tomorrow, white will probably turn into gray, and gray will turn into black."
"Indeed, this rumor is a bit too much. I even suspect that person is jealous of the Imperial Concubine for giving birth to three sons in one pregnancy, so he deliberately spread the rumor out of jealousy!"
"It's not impossible."
"You're talking after the fact now. I wonder who believed those rumors just now."
Someone muttered a few words, and everyone fell silent.
This is really...cannot be refuted.
........
Xiao Xieyun conducted another swift and vigorous screening and actually found quite a few spies.
There are palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, and there is even a spy from the imperial kitchen!
This scared Xiao Xieyun so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
If he hadn't strictly checked his and Xixi's three meals a day, the spy would have had a chance to take advantage of them!
This incident also served as a wake-up call for Xiao Xie. From then on, he would conduct surprise screenings of spies or people with bad intentions in the palace every once in a while.
After two months of confinement, Ying Xixi was finally free.
According to folk sayings, the number of months of confinement depends on how many children you have.
Xiao Xieyun also planned to do so.
But Ying Xixi firmly disagreed. One month of confinement was already difficult enough, and three months would simply make people grow mushrooms in the house!
Finally, after much persuasion, and with the imperial physician taking Ying Xixi's pulse, he confirmed that her physical condition was good and that she did not need to observe the three-month confinement period.
Ying Xixi and Xiao Xieyun argued for a while, and both of them took a step back, ending with Ying Xixi staying in confinement for two months.
After Ying Xixi finished her two-month confinement, the imperial decree conferring Xiao Xieyun as queen was announced.
No one was surprised by this.
The ceremony of crowning the queen was held and ended smoothly.
Ying Xixi became the queen.
Seeing this, the people of the capital couldn't help but regret that they should have made a bet on whether the imperial concubine could become the queen, so that they could get more money!
There is no betting on this matter. Everyone can only look forward to when Xiao Xieyun will take a concubine, but no matter how much they wait, this day will never come.
........
As time passed, the triplets grew up gradually.
When the three brothers were over one year old, they looked exactly the same, but as they grew older they became different.
They look similar at first glance, but they are different if you look closely. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell them apart.
Xiao Xieyun felt somewhat relieved about this.
In fact, deep down he still doesn't want the three brothers to look exactly the same.
This situation is risky in every way.
In the education of his three brothers, Xiao Xieyun not only taught them himself, but also invited a tutor to teach them.
He did not appoint anyone as the crown prince at the beginning, but instead let the three brothers learn the knowledge that a crown prince should learn together.
And he was committed to teaching the three brothers to live in harmony and so on.
Xiao Xieyun regretted that his brothers ended up killing each other. Now that he has three sons, he will do his best to prevent this tragedy from happening to his sons!
Xiao Xieyun acts as a strict father to his sons, while Ying Xixi acts as a kind mother.
The two of them, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, raised the three children well.
Of course, the three children prefer their gentle and beautiful mother to their strict father, and they run to her whenever they have time.
Ying Xixi didn't think anything of it. She was happy that the children were close to her.
But Xiao Xieyun was not happy.
He had always had a strong possessiveness towards Ying Xixi, and if it were his three daughters, he would also be happy to be close to his wife and daughters.
But what's up with those three brats?
"You three! You're already five years old! You're grown up kids! Why are you still clinging to your mother like little kids?!"
When Xiao Xieyun came back from the imperial study, he saw three brats huddled around Ying Xixi.
The four of them, mother and children, seemed to be living a peaceful life, but he was not among them, which made him furious.
"Father, but Mother said we are still babies."
The youngest son, Xiao Hongtang, had a chubby face and blinked his big eyes as he retorted in a baby voice.
“Father, you taught your sons not to be jealous and not to become envious people.
But you, Father, are clearly jealous of your sons being with Mother, and this is wrong."
The eldest son, Xiao Guihua, had a chubby face, like a little adult, and spoke in a serious baby voice.
The second son, Xiao Hongzao, didn't say anything, but nodded his head, trying to prove that he also agreed with what his two brothers said.
Xiao Xieyun almost fell backward in anger, "You! You three little bastards!"
Little Red Sugar pouted and retorted in a baby voice, "Father, you can't call us little bastards.
We are your sons. If we are little bastards, then wouldn’t you be an old bastard?
You can’t scold yourself!”
Xiao Xieyun: “….”
Ying Xixi, holding her little son, was laughing so hard that she was shaking with laughter.
"Hahahaha, Little Red Sugar, how come you are so talented?"
"hey-hey."
Little Red Sugar smiled shyly, feeling that her mother was praising her.
Somewhat embarrassedly, he buried his still chubby little body in his mother's arms.
Seeing this, Xiao Xieyun gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
"Big brother and second brother, look at your younger brother, he has taken possession of your mother."
Little Osmanthus and Little Red Date shook their heads helplessly.
"Father, my younger brother is already young, so what's wrong with us, as the elder brothers, giving way to him?
Father, please don't sow discord between us brothers."
Little Osmanthus spoke in a tone of an older brother.
Xiao Xieyun was speechless now. He picked up one of his sons in each hand and threw them to the door of the outer hall with some anger.
Then he came back and threw out his little son who was still nestled in Ying Xixi's arms.
"You can study or play by yourselves, but don't disturb the world of two between your mother and me!"
Xiao Xieyun said this with a stern face and slammed the door shut.
The three brothers who were thrown outside the door and stood in a row: "......."
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Father seems to be angry out of shame."
Little Red Sugar said this innocently.
"You are right, but next time you can't say this in front of the emperor, otherwise he will be even more embarrassed.
Come on, let's go riding."
Little Osmanthus said this seriously, and left holding her younger brother's hand.
The three guards immediately followed to protect them.
In the inner hall, Xiao Xieyun had already occupied Ying Xixi's arms.
Ying Xixi looked at such a tall and big man curled up in her arms with a wronged look, and felt a little amused and helpless.
