According to convention, a full-moon banquet should be held for the first and second children. Many people will see the two children, and they will receive a lot of attention and blessings. They will be the crown princes of their father.
But the reality is, he and the princess were the only ones who celebrated the full moon for Xiaoyi and Xiaoer.
"Sanniang, do you think I was wrong before, and Father was right?"
Song Sanniang didn't say anything. She had long known about the conflict between Dongfang Rui and Emperor Xuan from the system. She had been in Prince Rui's Mansion for so long, and she had also heard about the problems between the father and son from him and Muzhi.
This is a matter between them and their father, and she doesn't want to get involved.
The system somewhat disagrees. Given the male protagonist's current feelings for her, the host can simply whisper in his ears and let the male protagonist ignite his ambition for the throne.
Based on its observations, it dares to guarantee that as long as the male protagonist finds his father now and tells him that he wants to inherit his family's throne, his father will probably jump for joy.
"Host, now is a good time to use pillow talk," the system urged her.
Song Sanniang laughed and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The system...humbly said, 'No'.
"Jingzhi, no matter what you want to do or what your future plans are, I will support you."
Dongfang Rui hugged Song Sanniang with tears in his eyes. His princess was so good. He was so lucky to have such a good wife.
From then on, Dongfang Rui was like a chicken with its blood pumped up. He left the two children to Muzhi and the wet nurse to take care of them. He went out early and came back late every day, coming and going in a hurry.
The only time they could get along was in bed at night. Every time Song Sanniang wanted to do something bad, Dongfang Rui looked tired, and she was too embarrassed to bother him, so she had to give up.
She endured it!
I thought Dongfang Rui would be busy for a month or so, but who knew he would be busy for three months.
However, with Dongfang Rui going out early and coming back late, the Prince Rui's Mansion has changed greatly.
Before, because Dongfang Rui was imprisoned, there were very few servants in the palace, and those gardens, paths and some scenery required manpower to maintain. Without anyone to take care of them, they looked desolate and dilapidated.
Now the entire palace is back in operation and looks brand new.
The most important thing is that Emperor Xuan came to Prince Rui’s Palace.
This time, instead of watching from a dark place, Song Sanniang and Dongfang Rui brought Xiaoyi and Xiaoer to meet the legendary Emperor Xuan.
Emperor Xuan inherited the excellent genes of the previous emperor and his biological mother, and had a handsome face. Although he looked a little tired due to busy government affairs, it did not affect his grace at all.
Because of his martial arts training, he has developed a tall and strong figure, and he looks like a sword in its sheath.
Emperor Xuan showed extraordinary wisdom and courage when he was young, but his mother's family had fallen from power when he was born, and both mother and son were not favored by the previous emperor, so they had to keep a low profile since childhood.
Later, his biological mother was involved in a harem dispute and died unjustly, and he fell completely silent because of this.
Eight years later, the Wei army was defeated in the northwest battlefield and suffered heavy losses, while the Mongolian tribes invaded the border town, burning, killing and looting. No one was willing to die.
It was at this time that Emperor Xuan stepped forward, leading 5,000 elite soldiers directly to the battlefield. He defeated the foreign tribes with overwhelming force, recovered the lost cities, and even attacked the tribes at that time, which led to the current Qimeng County...
The system recounted Emperor Xuan's personal glorious military achievements in a vivid and emotional manner. Song Sanniang was not affected by the system at all. She looked normal. After paying her respects with Dongfang Rui, she stood aside as a background wall.
Emperor Xuan walked to the cradle, and the two children smiled brightly at him. Dongfang Rui seemed unable to see the complicated expression on Emperor Xuan's face.
"Dad, these are my two oldest grandsons. Come hold them."
Before Emperor Xuan could move, the two children were in his arms. His body immediately froze and he held the two children carefully, not daring to move at all, for fear that he would not be able to hold them firmly and drop them.
Although the two children felt uncomfortable, they did not intend to cry. Instead, they looked at Emperor Xuan happily. They tacitly understood each of them and grabbed the long beard on Emperor Xuan's chin, having a lot of fun.
Emperor Xuan was like a wooden man, motionless.
Dongfang Rui didn't hear Emperor Xuan's thoughts at all. He was genuinely happy when he saw Emperor Xuan holding the child. "Dad, relax a little. Don't be nervous. The child is very easy to hold."
In the end, Song Sanniang couldn't stand it anymore and secretly winked at Dongfang Rui.
Dongfang Rui received the signal and reluctantly wanted to take the two children from Emperor Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuan dodged Dongfang Rui's outstretched hand and said, "It's okay. I'm not so old that I can't even hold two children."
Dongfang Rui put down his hand only after he saw that Emperor Xuan was indeed not feeling unwell.
"Have you named the baby yet?"
Dongfang Rui and Song Sanniang looked at each other and said, "They only gave us nicknames. The one on your left is Xiaoyi and the one on your right is Xiaoer."
"As for the name, please let Dad choose it."
Emperor Xuan looked intently at Dongfang Rui, the son he had carefully nurtured and the heir he had chosen earlier.
"You want me to help you choose a name, but there's a price to pay. Are you ready?"
Dongfang Rui took a deep breath. He knew what his father meant. He had disobeyed him before. If he refused again this time, his father would completely abandon him and choose another heir.
"Father, I understand what you mean. I will follow your teachings and become what you expect."
Song Sanniang had quietly moved away, ensuring that no one could hear the noise. She did not want to disturb the heart-to-heart talk between the father and son.
But the system excitedly shouted in her mind, 'Host, the male protagonist and Emperor Xuan and his son have reconciled'!
"Emperor Xuan named his two little ones. The first one was called Dongfang Xi and the second one was called Dongfang Che. 'Xi' means the power and dignity of a king."
"Ahhh, host, your son has been designated as the next emperor, and you don't even look happy."
Song Sanniang rolled her eyes at the system. It wasn't her who was going to be the emperor, so what was there to be happy about? Furthermore, if Dongfang Rui became emperor, then according to his problems, it was only natural that Xiaoyi and Xiaoer would inherit the throne.
The system thought about it and felt that what the host said was right, but it was still very happy. The first task was already half completed and victory was at hand. It seemed as if it could see the points flying towards it with just a wave of its hand.
Finally, Emperor Xuan finished talking to Dongfang Rui. Before leaving, Emperor Xuan glanced at where Song Sanniang was.
"Is she the reason you changed your mind?"
Dongfang Rui followed his gaze and saw Song Sanniang in a daze. He turned his head and looked at Emperor Xuan seriously and said, "She is very good. She is exactly the type I like."
"So much so that you're willing to bear her a child?"
Dongfang Rui was stunned for a moment. When he met Emperor Xuan this time, he saw that he did not mention the background of Xiao Yi and Xiao Er at all. He thought that he didn't know, but he didn't expect that he knew everything.
