It's better if you don't grow up. Being an emperor is too hard. You sleep later than a dog and get up earlier than a rooster. After enlightenment, you only get a few days off a year.
He couldn't bear to see An'an suffer.
Chi Chang: "?"
So it's my child's fault for suffering?
When will this life of being treated like a slave ever end!
The next morning, the imperial edict shocked the court and the entire Qi Dynasty.
The news shattered the officials' hopes for a wonderful day.
Does anyone know, family members, that during the Ghost Festival, our ancestors send a child to the emperor?
The people of Qi Dynasty: "..."
I reckon that although we enjoy reading strange and unusual novels, we're not really stupid. Your Majesty, aren't you going too far?
Why don't my ancestors send me a child?
Okay, okay, if you guys keep playing these games, we'll start making trouble.
As a result, rumors about the child's origins swept across the entire Qi Dynasty like a tidal wave.
It happened to be during the public holiday for sacrificial rites in the Central Plains, and everyone from the imperial palace and nobles to ordinary people participated in the discussion on this topic.
Even though everyone was busy paying respects to their ancestors, the storytellers in restaurants and teahouses were still packed with people.
Some say that Chi Yuan specially went to the common people during the Central Plains sacrificial ceremony to find this child so that Shen Yulou could successfully become empress and reduce obstacles.
Some people say that the two children look a lot like Chi Yuan and Shen Yulou, and that Shen Yulou may have given birth to them after taking a secret medicine, and that the two of them had already secretly conceived.
Some people genuinely believe it was a message from a deity in a dream.
Rumors circulated endlessly, and the officials felt extremely aggrieved throughout the entire sacrificial ceremony. If it weren't for the fact that it was against etiquette, they would have rushed to the imperial mausoleum to demand an explanation from Chi Yuan.
In particular, the princes and generals who supported the Chi family were completely baffled and were waiting for Chi Yuan to return to the palace to demand an explanation.
If you say you can't have children, then you can't have children. We'll just symbolically try to stop you, but you don't need to find a child who isn't related to you by blood to inherit the throne for us, do you?
You've never cared about our opinions this much before!
If all else fails, we'll accept it if the child of the Princess Zhenguo and the Prince Zhenhai inherits the throne.
Upon hearing the news, the royal relatives who were far away at the imperial mausoleum rushed over to inquire about the situation.
As a result, I saw a New Year's picture doll dressed in red, its hands and feet moving restlessly in Chi Yuan's arms.
The clansmen looked at Chi Yuan and Shen Yulou's faces, and then at the fox cub's face.
Silence fell.
They look so alike...it's uncanny...I couldn't possibly give birth to someone so similar...
Chi Yuan even said directly that when he returned to the palace, he would perform a blood test in front of all the imperial relatives and ministers to prove that the child was his.
It's fine if you don't acknowledge it, then just go home and stop getting in his way.
Having said such things, what else can they say?
Those present, seeing Chi Yuan's confident face and considering his status, tacitly agreed.
Empress Dowager An arrived shortly after the imperial relatives left.
Clearly, she already knew about Chi Yuan's plans.
I just came to see what the fox cubs looked like out of curiosity.
"Ah..." The fox cub's eyes lit up when it saw the gold and jade necklace worn by Empress Dowager An.
Because neither Chi Yuan nor Shen Yulou are people who like to wear jewelry.
So the fox cubs haven't seen Glittery in a long time.
He stretched his hands forward, while his little bottom, sitting on Chi Yuan's arm, kept bouncing, trying to move forward.
“He prefers shiny things.” Shen Yulou smiled apologetically at Empress Dowager An and took the little fox cub’s hand that was reaching for the air.
"It's alright," Empress Dowager An said with a loving smile.
"What a beautiful little baby! May Grandmother hold him?"
Empress Dowager An reached out her hand towards the fox cub.
She loves children, but Chi Wangshu is not yet married, and she has only seen Chi Chang's child a few times since the child was born.
She's always wanted to find a doll to take care of.
Seeing her clapping, the fox cub instinctively leaned forward.
