The child grew up quickly and became plump, white and cute after one month.
Emperor Daoyuan loves his sweet and soft daughter the most, who sometimes even grins without teeth.
Who would have thought that he, who used to be so cold and aloof, would now become a dad and a daughter's slave.
In the past, they would go to court together during the morning session.
After having a daughter, Emperor Daoyuan proposed to change his position.
He goes to court today, Bei Lingyao goes tomorrow, and he takes care of the baby.
In addition to feeding the child, Emperor Daoyuan personally fed her water, changed her diapers, coaxed her to sleep, and played with her. He was most keen on reading martial arts books to his daughter.
Bei Lingyao is amazing.
Forget about prenatal education.
But no matter how young his daughter was, Emperor Daoyuan was not tired of her and was particularly fond of her education.
On the day of the full moon, the eldest princess changed into a bright yellow four-clawed dragon robe.
The court officials gasped softly, even though Emperor Daoyuan had already warned them when Bei Lingyao was pregnant that he would make his daughter the Crown Princess.
But no one expected that Emperor Daoyuan would be so impatient after only one month.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, summons: My eldest daughter, Dongfang Xiyue, is of great talent and beauty... I hereby appoint her as the Crown Princess, to take the throne of the Eastern Palace, to strengthen the rule for eternity and to inspire the hearts of the people."
"Your Highness, we pay our respects to the Crown Princess. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
…
The deafening sound echoed throughout the Yangxin Palace.
The Empress Dowager in Shoukang Palace was furious again.
But she was bedridden. Since she vomited blood that day, her health had been deteriorating. She felt weak, drowsy, and unable to get up.
But she was extremely concerned about what was happening outside, and Bei Lingyao and Emperor Dao Yuan did not want to hide it.
No one would stop the palace maids in Shoukang Palace from seeking information.
Just then, when the Empress Dowager learned that the eldest princess was one month old and Emperor Daoyuan had issued an edict to confer her the title of Crown Princess, she became so angry that she vomited blood again.
Grandmaster Li calmly shook his head and sighed, "Why bother? She's your own granddaughter, there's nothing to worry about."
Grandmaster Li felt that the Empress Dowager was just asking for trouble and anger.
In his opinion, the Empress Dowager should be happy that Emperor Daoyuan was willing to marry and have a daughter, and even to confer the title of Crown Princess on her.
After all, the Langya Kingdom has successors, and the Empress Dowager will not be scolded too badly by the ancestors when she goes to the underworld a hundred years later.
"He was just trying to anger me. This rebellious grandson, knowing full well that I wanted a son, an heir, he deliberately prayed for a daughter to be crowned the Crown Princess."
The Empress Dowager was in a very bad mood. She really regretted bringing Emperor Daoyuan back.
It was obvious that this grandson didn't want to come back to be emperor, and it was she who brought him back.
If she had known this would happen, she would not have taken him back.
She could ascend the throne as empress, or choose a puppet princess, or use someone from the Tang family as a substitute.
After all the trouble, Langya Kingdom finally has a crown princess, and will become an empress in the future.
Then what has she been doing for the past few decades?
If she had been more powerful with the support of the Tang family and Grandmaster Li, she could have ascended the throne to become emperor.
She missed too many opportunities.
The Empress Dowager felt more and more uncomfortable the more she thought about it. She wanted to slap herself a few times and turn back time. She would definitely not miss the opportunity to become the empress.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Grandmaster Li looked at the Empress Dowager's despair and shook his head, "She is ultimately a person without blessings."
"How can you, a rootless person, say that I have no blessings?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Master Li with a look that was as if filled with poison.
"Haha, this Grandmaster has no roots and no descendants, but you have some but don't cherish them. Isn't that a blessing?"
When Grandmaster Li said this, he felt a little regretful.
We were blind at the beginning. If we had known that the emperor was so unbearable, we would have surrendered to a wise leader and would not have been deposed.
Master Li felt very regretful in his heart. He just felt that he was stupid in the past. He followed the Empress Dowager wholeheartedly and thought that he had met a wise leader.
But he didn't expect that it would hurt him so much.
"So you are just like my family, both of us are lonely old people."
The Empress Dowager didn't want to pay attention to Master Li, but Master Li's words were really heartbreaking.
She kept cursing Duke Tang in her heart and really hated her brother.
If it weren't for this brother who gave her the soul-sucking poison, how could she have lost her martial arts skills?
If it weren't for her niece, how could Emperor Daoyuan be the only one left among so many of her grandchildren?
“At the beginning…”
The Empress Dowager was speechless.
What could have happened then?
Thinking of her son, the late emperor, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh.
Their mother-son bond was ultimately weak.
It was obvious that she had loved her son sincerely in the past, protecting him as if he were her own child.
But the previous emperor passed away due to something going wrong during his practice. She supported her young son to ascend the throne and became regent with the support of her brother. After she gained power, she could no longer let go.
Before her son died, he was still blaming her, and the Empress Dowager was also heartbroken at that time.
But she felt that it was better for her son to die. It would be better to support an obedient puppet grandson than a disobedient son who wanted to rebel against her.
But I didn't know that it got out of control later.
"I am not wrong, I have no regrets."
The Empress Dowager was muttering to herself as if she was hypnotizing herself.
"Yes, yes, you are not wrong. You are just a sinner of the royal family. Tell me, after a hundred years, will the emperor bury you together with Taizu?"
As Grandmaster Li's words came out, the Empress Dowager's cloudy eyes widened, "How dare he? I am the Empress Taizu, the Regent Empress Dowager."
"hehe"
Grandmaster Li said nothing.
The Empress Dowager felt uneasy at the moment.
If she was not buried with Taizu, how could her descendants offer sacrifices to her?
Without the incense and offerings, wouldn't she become a wandering ghost? How could she still enjoy the protection of the Langya Kingdom's national destiny?
The Empress Dowager couldn't sleep at this thought, and kept saying to the palace servants, "I want to see the emperor, please let the emperor come to see me."
The palace maids in Shoukang Palace saw the Grand Empress Dowager lying in bed and making such a fuss. They were afraid that the Grand Empress Dowager was really dead and they would be implicated, so they quickly conveyed the Grand Empress Dowager's words to Emperor Daoyuan.
"Grandmother, please take good care of yourself since you are ill. I have been busy these days and will visit her later."
Having said that, Emperor Daoyuan arranged for the imperial physician to see the Empress Dowager. He did not want to see the Empress Dowager at the moment.
All the imperial physicians were driven out by the Empress Dowager. Compared with Master Li, the Empress Dowager was even more distrustful of the imperial physicians arranged by Emperor Daoyuan, and felt that Emperor Daoyuan wanted to harm her.
She just wanted Emperor Daoyuan to meet her madly.
All the court officials had received the news of the Empress Dowager's disturbance. Everyone thought that the Empress Dowager was probably dissatisfied with Emperor Daoyuan's appointment of the eldest princess as Crown Princess, so she asked Emperor Daoyuan to leave.
But how could Emperor Daoyuan go there? He would not listen to the Empress Dowager.
Some people think that Emperor Daoyuan is still too willful. After all, the Crown Princess is too young. We don’t know her martial arts talent yet, but it is too hasty to confer the title of Crown Princess.
Emperor Daoyuan and Bei Lingyao were not worried about these things.
Especially Bei Lingyao, her child will not be bad.
