Dan Ruo stood up and walked to Lin Hancheng, bowing to the queen and saying, "If your mother has anything to say, you can talk to your son and your husband in private."
The Imperial Concubine's eyes suggested to Dan Ruo that she should be patient.
The Queen looked as if she wanted to air a family scandal. "Everyone here is from the royal family. They have watched you grow up. They are all our family."
"This is also for your own good. Since I'm going to adopt a son in your name, I'd rather find a blessed child from the royal family, one who is closely related to you and can be your nephew. Wouldn't that be better than those side branches of the Lin family? Right now, your uncles all have grandchildren."
The queen had already discussed this with the prince who was on good terms with her, so naturally there would be someone willing to use a illegitimate grandson to please the queen and the prince.
The princess immediately responded, "Your Highness is willing to let my dear grandson, Princess Cheng Huan, be her husband."
After that, she handed the child directly to Rong An's arms, "Princess, hold him for a moment. This child is so well behaved."
It was obvious that he was prepared. Lin Hancheng clenched his hands under his wide sleeves. It was all his fault that the princess was in such an embarrassing situation.
Dan Ruo held the soft little ball and said with a look of embarrassment:
"When Uncle Wang's descendants grow up, they can at least get a government position through the royal family, or even inherit the family title.
But even though I'm a princess, if I marry into the Lin family, I'll be a Lin family woman. My child will have nothing. The child will definitely not want to be like this when she grows up. So why should I let the child blame me when he grows up?
I worked so hard to raise him, only to get an enemy for nothing."
The Imperial Noble Consort helped, saying, "Your Majesty, Rong'an has just gotten married, and I'm still a child. Let Rong'an have some fun for two years."
When the queen heard the imperial concubine being so humble, she wanted to confront her even more and bully her daughter.
"If Rong'an is worried about this, then your mother will ask your father for mercy and confer the title of Marquis on your child, a third-rank official. This is much better than just a minor official position within the imperial clan. The child will surely be grateful to you."
The Emperor, who was quietly waiting for the success of the matter, thought for a moment and said, "I appreciate the Queen's consideration for Rong An. Then I will agree to Rong An. Rong An's child can obtain the title of Marquis."
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. In order to make the Lin family legitimately under the control of the court, it would be okay to confer the title of marquis on a member of the royal family.
Dan Ruo was about to pull Lin Hancheng to express her gratitude, but she fell towards Lin Hancheng in full view of everyone. Lin Hancheng was quick to hug the princess and the child.
The child was frightened and burst into tears. His grandmother quickly took him away to comfort him.
Dan Ruo's face was pale and she couldn't stand up straight. Lin Hancheng carried her to sit on the soft chair.
The imperial concubine hurriedly called the imperial physician, who took her pulse and
"Princess, your pulse is like beads rolling on a plate. You are already over a month pregnant. You must have been tired from standing for a while holding the child, which is why you feel unwell. I can prescribe some prescriptions to help you maintain your pregnancy."
As soon as the imperial physician finished speaking, the whole room was stunned.
Lin Hancheng felt like his brain exploded. The princess had her own child. When he came to his senses, he found that he was crying with joy unconsciously. If there weren't so many people around, he would have wanted to hug the princess and tell her about his joy.
Lin Hancheng looked guilty: "It's all my fault that I didn't hold the child just now, which made the princess tired. It's all my fault that I didn't take good care of the princess."
The Imperial Noble Consort looked at the princess who had just stepped forward. The princess lowered her head and looked like a quail. She knew that she was the Queen's pawn.
Turning her gaze to the Empress, she said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has good intentions, but this child is not meant for our Rong An. Today's actions have backfired. If Rong An loses her own child due to the fatigue of carrying this child, I'm afraid Rong An will complain to her father every day."
The queen smiled awkwardly. Who would have thought that Lin Hancheng could have an heir? No, maybe it was Rong An who borrowed his seed. It was just that she had no evidence and could not make random remarks.
Dan Ruo looked up at the emperor and said, "Father just said that he would give Rong'an's child the title of Marquis. The child has heard it in his belly and can't wait to see his grandfather. His grandfather won't break his promise, right?"
The emperor felt bitter in his heart, but he smiled kindly: "Of course, a king never jokes. It's a gift for my grandson. If it's a granddaughter, she will be named a princess."
The emperor hopes that it will be a granddaughter.
No one mentioned the adoption matter again.
After the banquet, the queen followed the depressed emperor. After closing the door, the emperor flicked his sleeves and
"Look at your good idea. Not only did it fail, but you also gave away a marquis for nothing."
The Lin family is already wealthy. If they gain power, they will no longer be the fat sheep that can be slaughtered at will. This makes the emperor very angry.
The Queen couldn't help but defend herself: "Everyone says that Lin Hancheng has difficulty in having children. Who knows if the baby in Rong'an's belly is Lin Hancheng's child?"
The Emperor slammed the table, his whole body radiating anger. "How dare you slander Rong An like this? Although Rong An is not your biological child, the reputation of the Royal Princess cannot be ruined by you, her legal mother."
The Queen looked unhappy. It seemed that the Emperor had been fooled by Rong An.
"I think you should go back and teach Lingyi well, and don't worry about Rongan's affairs."
The queen covered her face and left. Seeing that the emperor had no intention of keeping her, her heart sank.
On the way home, Lin Hancheng carefully hugged Danruo in the carriage and excitedly talked all the way about everything from what to name the child, how to educate the child, to how much fortune he would earn for the child.
Seeing the shrewd head of the family who had become a chatterbox with excitement, Dan Ruo smiled and took his hand: "We will have many children in the future, and you can earn more money for the family."
