When the Queen Mother heard Murong Yan's request that she not disturb the Queen's family reunion, she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Her son even takes care of these small details for his queen. The change is really huge.
It was only today that Murong Yan learned from Lin Cenyi about the complexity of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and what he should do as a son.
He first apologized to the Queen Mother, saying that he shouldn't have used such a harsh tone that day.
Then ask the Queen Mother what her greatest wish was?
The Queen Mother fell into memories:
"I want you to have someone close to you to accompany you, so that you won't be so lonely, and that you can have children and have a successor to the throne."
Murong Yan nodded and said earnestly:
"Now that all this has come true, you should be happy instead of destroying this happiness with your own hands."
"I remember that my father had many favorite concubines. When you were little, you were often sad. Now I don't want the queen to become like you back then, so you will definitely understand your son's actions."
"Son, I can't let myself become like the father who made you sad. Is it wrong for me to do this?"
After hearing these words, the Queen Mother fell into deep thought and returned to her palace after a while. Perhaps her son was right.
She hated Ming Liuli, who indirectly killed her eldest son, was unfaithful to her eldest son from beginning to end, and even attempted to overthrow the throne.
It's normal for me to hate her, Ming Liuli did do something that hurt her.
However, Danruo not only did not hurt her, he also saved her son and now has his own grandson.
She couldn't be afraid of the rope after being bitten by a snake once. She was subconsciously wary of her daughter-in-law Danruo. She was confused.
If this continues, she is afraid that she will lose her son.
After returning to the palace, she stayed indoors and picked up needlework which she had not done for a long time, making small clothes and pants for her grandson to wear when he was just born.
I also learned how to make complicated tiger-head hats from the embroiderers.
Dan Ruo also took care of her pregnancy peacefully until the fifth month. Concubine Shu was a invisible person. The Empress Dowager stayed at home and only sent gifts to her, while Murong Yan stayed with her the whole time.
Even when Mrs. Lin reminded Danruo that they had to sleep in separate beds, Murong Yan said after hearing it that he would not leave even if he had to sleep on the floor.
Dan Ruo found it funny. She had been living in Murong Yan's bedroom. The dragon bed was so big that there was no need to sleep on the floor.
Seeing that the emperor and empress didn't care, Mrs. Lin stopped reminding them.
The only abnormality was that Danruo's belly was a little bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman.
Doctor Luo said it might be twins.
Murong Yan was worried and arranged for a dozen female doctors to protect Dan Ruo at all times.
He was very anxious inside. The Murong Dynasty once had a pair of twin princes. The older brother was the prince for one month and half a month, and the younger brother was the prince for half a month, which caused chaos in the court and the harem.
It was only after the queen at that time died that the matter was exposed.
Later, an ancestral precept was established that if twin princes were born, only one could survive.
Now that such a thing might happen to him, Murong Yan naturally couldn't bear it. If he couldn't even protect his own children, what was the point of being the emperor?
Danruo noticed the anxiety of the person beside him, and entered his dream at night, with his son and daughter surrounding his knees.
When Murong Yan woke up the next day, he was no longer anxious. His little Tangyuan was truly a blessed person.
The Queen Mother also sent someone to invite him, saying frankly that if they were twin princes, she would be willing to take one of them and live in seclusion in the mountains. Murong Yan's bloodline was rare and must not be harmed.
Murong Yan told her not to worry, as God would take care of things.
After nine months, Danruo gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
The elder sister was named Murong Yi and the younger brother was named Murong Chen.
At the full moon banquet, Murong Yan named his sister the Princess Protector of the Nation and granted her fiefdom, and his brother the Crown Prince.
At the same time, he exempted taxes for one year to pray for the Princess Protector of the Country and the Crown Prince.
The empress was now extremely loved among the people, and the love story between the emperor and the empress was widely circulated. Those who wanted to pray for marital harmony began to pay their respects to the empress in private.
Mrs. Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her eldest daughter's marriage was going well, and it was time to make plans for her younger daughter and son.
The palace was filled with joy because of Murong Yi and Murong Chen, brother and sister.
Concubine Shu felt sad as she watched the plump and lovely prince and princess playing happily in the imperial garden.
In the past three years, Murong Yan only had eyes for the queen and her son. He even listened to the queen and wanted to send himself out of the palace to arrange a good identity for himself, so that he could get married or establish a household name as a daughter.
But she didn't want to. If she left the palace, she was afraid that she would never have the chance to see Murong Yan again in her life.
Concubine Shu's maid Ruicao comforted her:
"If your Majesty wants to play with the child, I will bring Young Master Rui into the palace to stay for two days."
The young Master Rui that Ruicao mentioned was named Murong Rui. He was the child of the princess consort of the Jiangjun prince, a woman from the royal family chosen by the empress dowager.
Originally, he wanted to bring the child to the palace to raise after he was born, but after he married the queen, the matter was put on hold. After the queen had a child, no one mentioned the matter again.
But Concubine Shu liked the child very much. When the Princess of Jiang County came to her with the child in her arms, she fell in love with him as soon as she saw him.
In addition, the Princess of Jiang County said with a wry smile:
"This is supposed to be your son, Madam. Now I call you godmother in private. I hope you don't mind."
Although Concubine Shu was tempted, she did not dare to agree. She was the empress, and she needed Murong Yan's consent to adopt a godson.
If she dared to mention this matter, Murong Yan would definitely think that she was ambitious and would drive her away.
She declined with a smile, making the excuse that she liked her daughter better.
However, the Princess Consort of Prince Jiang often came to the palace to visit her, and gradually she really developed some affection for the child and let him call her mother.
Seeing Ruicao mention it, Concubine Shu smiled from the bottom of her heart:
"Then tell the Queen Mother, and then you go and bring him into the palace to stay with me for a while."
At Prince Jiang’s Mansion, the Crown Princess couldn’t stop smiling when she saw Ruicao coming to her on her own initiative.
It took Murong Rui an hour to pack up, and then let him leave with Ruicao.
After entering the palace, the three-and-a-half-year-old Murong Rui quickly attracted the attention of Murong Yi and Murong Chen with toys from outside the palace.
The three children played together, and there was no need to worry because there were palace servants following them.
One day at noon, Murong Chen sneaked out during his nap, and the palace maid quickly reported it to Danruo.
Dan Ruo asked everyone to go out and look for him, and at the same time called on all the flowers, plants and trees in the harem to check for Murong Chen's whereabouts.
Murong Chen was found on the rockery, and a pair of small hands were trying to push him down from behind.
She was planning to use her spiritual power to control the surrounding trees to save Murong Chen when she saw a much larger parrot King Kong falling from the sky and directly knocking down the little boy who had done something bad.
Dan Ruo hurriedly took Murong Yan who had just arrived and rushed over.
