“…”
Feng Changye, who was chasing her and trying to stop her from getting close to the empress dowager, suddenly froze and stood a dozen feet away from her, staring at her with a dull look in his eyes.
Is he finished? Yes, he is finished.
This mind-reading skill caught him off guard...
He never imagined that he would end up falling into the hands of his own mother!
He was almost exposed last time, but he managed to get away with it with his acting skills. All his hard work in acting was in vain?
Before he could even get a chance to confess and be lenient, he was caught by the Queen herself?
He looked at the queen who was staring at him coldly and blinked stiffly.
Obviously...it shouldn't be like this!
He had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to confess to the queen after she gave birth. He had heard that one shouldn't get angry during the confinement period, so he wanted to wait until she was out of confinement before telling her...
He was only about twenty days away from confessing on his own accord, but he was exposed early!
He hated his fate so much and was so depressed!
At this moment, he wanted to roar to the sky—
God is going to kill him!
His wife would definitely kill him out of anger!
"The Queen..."
He moved his feet with difficulty and took a step towards Zhu Wuhuan.
He was very timid and thought, with so many people watching, the Queen would not use the tremendous strength she had after taking the powerful pills to pick him up like a chicken and throw him to the ground, right?
If possible, he really wanted to turn around and run away. He didn't want to get close to the furious queen. He was afraid that she would grab him and beat him severely. That would be too embarrassing for him as the emperor!
But he couldn't run.
He had deceived the Queen for so many days, it was his fault in the first place, if he didn't step forward to take the consequences and instead ran away cowardly, the Queen would be even more angry.
He is a man and he has to take responsibility for his mistakes.
Zhu Wuhuan looked indifferently at the bastard man who had approached him with his head held high, and clenched his fists tightly.
She now wants to use a Pegasus Meteor Punch to send him straight to the sky!
But……
Looking around at the ministers who came to congratulate her, and then at Xiao'er who was still crying loudly in the Queen Mother's arms, she took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed her anger.
With so many people watching, if she takes action, she will be considered to be committing regicide and rebellion, and will be shot by archers as a traitor.
So she couldn't move for the time being. She would settle the score with him after everyone left!
Besides, this is Xiao'er and Aqiong's third birthday ceremony, and she can't ruin the happy day when the two children should be filled with joy and attention.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath again, then smiled, "Your Majesty, Xiao'er's crying makes me feel distressed. I want to hold him and comfort him myself. Will you be angry?"
"Won't."
Feng Changye also forced out a stiff smile.
What does he dare to say now?
He was just a criminal who had made a mistake and was caught red-handed. He had to carefully put on a smile and agree with the queen no matter what she said.
Zhu Wuhuan didn't even bother to look at him any more, and turned directly to look at the empress dowager who was holding Xiao'er and refused to let go.
She had thought before that if it was the old witch, the Queen Mother, she would just pinch the old witch's wrist hard, making the old witch let go immediately because of the pain.
But now that she knew this wasn't an old witch, she had to change her approach.
"Mother, can you please let me hold Xiao'er? Xiao'er's face is covered with tears. You must be very distressed, right? Let me comfort him. He will stop crying soon. Otherwise, what if he hurts his throat?"
She held her son's swaddling clothes in one hand and gently held the empress dowager's wrist with the other, speaking softly.
The Queen Mother was at a loss as to what to do when she couldn't coax the child. When she heard Zhu Wuhuan say that he would help her coax the child, she quickly stuffed the swaddling clothes into Zhu Wuhuan's arms.
With red eyes, she repeated, "Comfort Long'er, help me comfort Long'er, Long'er, don't cry, you can't cry..."
"good."
Zhu Wuhuan comforted the child, then held the child against his chest, rocking and coaxing him gently.
"Xiao'er, don't cry. Mother is here. Be good and don't cry..."
The little prince was in his mother's arms, and the familiar fragrance enveloped him all at once. He listened to his mother's voice, with his little face against her chest. His crying gradually subsided, but he was still sobbing in grievance.
Zhu Wuhuan looked down at the aggrieved little baby and felt extremely soft-hearted.
She lowered her head and kissed the little guy's forehead, "Be good, don't cry. The Imperial Grandmother didn't mean to wake our Xiao'er up. Don't cry, look how anxious the Imperial Grandmother is."
Of course, the little prince didn't understand what his mother said, but her gentle voice comforted him.
There were two crystal tears hanging from the corners of his eyes. He sobbed a little and then stopped crying.
"Long'er——"
The Queen Mother had just been anxiously circling around Zhu Wuhuan and her child. Now that she saw the little guy had stopped crying, she immediately smiled and wanted to reach out and take the child again.
Zhu Wuhuan didn't want to give it.
She didn't want to make her son cry a second time.
But when she looked up at the old man with red eyes looking at Xiao'er and then looking at her, her heart softened, and she sighed and put Xiao'er back into the old man's arms.
The Queen Mother finally hugged the swaddling baby again. She was as happy as a child and kept calling Long'er, Long'er.
Seeing her like this, the ministers around her looked at each other secretly and figured out what was going on.
The Queen Mother seems to be in a bad state...
No wonder the emperor has never allowed her to see anyone. Is there something wrong with her mental health?
Realizing this, everyone's eyes looking at Feng Changye became much gentler.
They had previously speculated that the Queen Mother was imprisoned by the Emperor. To be honest, they still felt a little uncomfortable.
Daning values filial piety. No matter how much the empress dowager favors Prince Jin or how unreasonable she is, she is the one who gave birth to the emperor after ten months of pregnancy. In their opinion, it is unreasonable for the emperor to imprison her.
Now that everyone knew that the Empress Dowager had mental problems and that was why the Emperor did not allow her to see anyone, everyone suddenly felt better.
Their emperor is still a filial son!
Not that kind of person who has lost his humanity!
Afterwards, the third baptism ceremony proceeds as normal.
Relatives and elders, according to seniority, each stepped forward to add a spoonful of water to the fish dragon basin, and then threw a gift they brought.
Gold and silver ingots and various exquisite jades were thrown into the basin with a jingling sound, and soon filled up the fish dragon basin together with the clear water.
Then the midwife undid the two babies and put them into the fish dragon basin together.
“Woo-wah-wah——” “Woo-wah——”
The two children were put into the water and started crying loudly at the same time. The onlookers started laughing when they heard their particularly loud crying.
The purpose of the third day bath is to wash away the filth of the previous life and bring peace and good fortune to the present life.
So, the louder you cry, the better.
Everyone was laughing happily, except Feng Changye, who was distracted and kept secretly looking at Zhu Wuhuan.
Zhu Wuhuan was also smiling, but suddenly she noticed Feng Changye's gaze. She turned her head and glanced at him, her gentle smile instantly turning into a fake one. "Why is Your Majesty looking at me?"
"!" Feng Changye shuddered in his heart.
It’s over. He’s afraid he won’t be able to coax his wife for a while!
