Chapter 39 The Pure-hearted Emperor



The daughter's name was given by Emperor Xiao Ping.

Emperor Xiao Ping said that the night before the princess was born, he had a dream in which he saw purple air coming from the east.

He was among the clouds and mist, with heavenly music floating in his ears, penetrating people's hearts and soothing them.

Suddenly, he seemed to see the figure of an immortal. The clouds and mist dissipated, and a magic pearl appeared in his hand.

The princess was born the next day, so Emperor Xiao Ping firmly believed that the princess was the magic pearl given to him by the immortal.

So, he named the princess Ziyue.

Yue, according to legend, is a divine pearl bestowed by the heavens upon the virtuous emperor, and symbolizes auspiciousness and nobility.

Moreover, there is a word "wan" in Su Wanti's name, so he added a month to his daughter's name to represent the dependence of mother and daughter.

Emperor Xiao Ping was very satisfied with the name he had chosen. He asked with a smile whether Princess Su Wanti's name was nice, with a look on his face as if he was asking for praise.

Su Wanti felt relieved when she saw that he really practiced what he said, did not care about the gender of the child, and really cared about her daughter and loved and cherished her very much.

At that time, she was holding the princess.

She shook him gently, looked at the princess's sweet sleeping face, and said softly:

"Zi Yue, purple air comes from the east, the divine pearl appears in the world, what a good name."

Su Wanti heard from an experienced wet nurse that she shouldn't hold the baby often because it was bad for her waist, and she had just given birth and needed to rest well.

But when she saw the princess's soft and sweet appearance, her heart softened and she just wanted to hug her and keep looking at her.

Moreover, Su Wanti thought that the princess was still young and weighed only six kilograms. It would be better to hold her more now. When she grew up to be one or two years old and weighed several dozen kilograms, she would be able to run and jump, and it would be difficult to hold her even if you wanted to.

The princess was very well-behaved. During the confinement period, she only did three things: drinking milk, sleeping and pooping.

Every hour and a half, the princess drinks milk, falls asleep when she is full, and drinks again when she wakes up. She puffs and pees in between, and is very easy to take care of.

Su Wanti originally wanted to take care of the princess herself,

After all, this was her first child and the daughter she had always dreamed of. However, she was suppressed by Emperor Xiao Ping.

Emperor Xiao Ping said that the princess had a wet nurse to take care of her and would be fine. What she should do now was to rest well. Only when she was healthy could she accompany her daughter for a long time.

Su Wanti thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so she gave up the idea of ​​taking care of her daughter herself and just ate and slept well every day.

However, she spent the entire day in the princess's nursery, and only returned to the bedroom at night to sleep a full night.

The same was true for Emperor Xiao Ping. Except for attending court in the morning and handling government affairs during the day, he stayed in the baby room all day.

The princess's baby room is also in the Yaoguang Palace, separated from Su Wanti's bedroom by only a wall.

At night, if the princess cried, Emperor Xiao Ping would wake up immediately and run to see her, often scaring the wet nurse who was taking care of the princess.

Emperor Xiao Ping's filter for the princess is even greater than that of her mother Su Wanti.

He always held the princess in his arms and said to Su Wanti: The princess's eyes and mouth are like her mother's, and her nose is like his. He has never seen such a beautiful baby. Their daughter will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world when she grows up.

Su Wanti laughed at him, saying that the princess was less than a month old and her facial features had not yet fully developed, so how could she tell who she looked like?

Emperor Xiao Ping and Su Wanti often stood on either side of the crib, saying nothing and doing nothing, just watching the princess sleep quietly, occasionally looking up at each other and smiling at each other.

The August sun was scorching brightly, shining softly on people through the windows covered with soft smoke screens. At this moment, Su Wanti only felt that the years were peaceful and quiet.

Su Wanti sometimes thinks of Xiao Huaihe and Su Ruhua.

In his previous life, Xiao Huaihe succeeded because Emperor Xiao Ping had no children and needed an adopted son, and he used conspiracy and trickery to gain the support of the Su family.

In this life, she divorced Xiao Huaihe, and Xiao Huaihe lost the support of the Su family.

She was with Emperor Xiao Ping, and she would give birth to a child for him, so he didn't have to adopt an heir.

Xiao Huaihe can no longer hurt her or take advantage of the Su family like he did in his previous life.

As for Su Ruohua, she is even less of a concern. Whether in her previous life or this life, she is completely dependent on Xiao Huaihe.

Now, Xiao Huaihe is no longer able to do it, and he has abandoned her heartlessly. Her reputation is ruined, and she can only marry far away in the future.

If she stayed in the capital, no official family would marry her, and she could only be accompanied by the green lamp and the ancient Buddha.

However, Su Wanti remembered the original owner's last wish. The original owner did not want to let these two people go easily. She wanted them to die.

How can this be done?

Now Su Wanti is in the palace and it is not easy for her to go out, so she has to let the system report the whereabouts of the two people to her.

She understood the personalities of these two people. They were both ambitious. As long as they did not give up the idea of ​​becoming emperor or empress, she would always find an opportunity to kill them.

The matter between the Su family father and son also came to an end.

After the investigation into Earl Su's affair was completed, Emperor Xiao Ping restored him to his original position. However, he still did not allow him to return to the capital. Instead, he assigned him a new task, and Earl Su continued to travel abroad.

There was nothing going on with Su Shaoxuan, and Emperor Xiao Ping allowed him to return to Beijing to report on his work in two months.

The fact that Su Wanti gave birth to a princess eased the atmosphere in the court a lot.

Before this, various forces in the court were secretly competing with each other, and the aristocratic families all wanted to recommend clan members who were close to their own family to be adopted by the emperor.

Now, the birth of the princess has temporarily calmed down the various forces.

They thought that maybe a prince would be born in a few days, and then the emperor would definitely pass the throne to his own son and would not adopt an heir.

So, they have stopped taking any action now and are ready to wait and see for a few more years.

If after a few years, the concubines in the harem did not give birth to a prince, they could petition the emperor to adopt a royal heir.

Xiao Huaihe and the other four had originally agreed that if the baby was a princess, they would incite court officials and force the emperor to adopt a child as soon as possible.

The four of them also acted secretly, sending secret letters to the court officials who had previously supported them, asking the court officials to put pressure on the emperor together.

Unfortunately, none of the court officials who had supported them before responded.

It seems that their adoption by the emperor will come to nothing.

The four had no choice but to gather in the secret room again.

"What should I do?" Xiao Huaihe said gloomily.

Prince Qi thought for a moment, his eyes gleaming as he beckoned the three men closer, "How about we just rebel?"

The other three people frowned. They had originally planned that if the baby was a prince, they would rebel from four different places.

According to the plan, the baby was a princess, so they shouldn't have taken any risks.

But they themselves knew that there was no problem with Emperor Xiao Ping's fertility. He now had a princess, so it was only a matter of time before he gave birth to a prince. There was no chance of them being adopted by the emperor as his heirs.

If there was no adoption at all, they could have inherited the title peacefully and become a marquis or a prince.

But after the adoption, they all became greedy for imperial power, and it would be harder to ask them to give it up than to kill them.

There was a gleam of ambition in the eyes of the four men, as if the bright yellow dragon throne was right before their eyes.
