Chapter 157 Two Children, Which One is Smarter and More Capable
Xie Junlin was particularly happy and delighted by the flattery of the ministers.
He walked to the bronze mirror, looked at his own face, and then at the child's face.
He also felt that the two children looked very much like him.
It's obvious that he is his biological son.
Before the child was born, he was actually a little worried that the child was Xiao Lingzhao's. Now he is relieved.
Everyone says that these two children look like him, and he himself thinks so too, so how could they not be his biological sons?
“…”
On the side, General Xiao stood there alone.
He did not join the ministers in congratulating. He did not even dare to look at the two children for long. He just glanced at them quickly and then lowered his head quickly.
Because he knew in his heart that one of the two children was Ling Zhao's own flesh and blood...
Ling Zhao had told him long ago that there was a child in Concubine Zhao's belly who could absorb Ling Zhao's power, and that child was Ling Zhao's own flesh and blood.
He didn't know which of the two children was from their Xiao family.
He didn't dare to look at any of them for too long, fearing that if he stared at a child for too long, these cunning ministers would become suspicious...
He couldn't harm his own grandson.
As long as he knew that their Xiao family had a successor, he would be satisfied.
When he heard everyone say that the two children looked exactly like Xie Junlin, he couldn't help but raised his head and looked at the two children again.
He thought to himself, people are really good at telling lies with their eyes open.
When a baby is just born, his nose is small, his mouth is small, and his eyes are not open yet. How can we tell that the baby's facial features are like those of an emperor?
I can't see anything.
The two children now look neither like Ling Zhao, nor like the Emperor, nor like Concubine Zhao.
They haven't grown up yet, and now they look like no one.
"Your Majesty, the two little princes are hungry and need to be fed in time. Can the servants carry the little princes to the compartment?"
The two wet nurses bowed and thanked Junlin.
Xie Junlin was afraid that his son would faint from hunger, so he immediately asked Chen Hai to take the wet nurse to the cubicle.
"Go quickly and feed the two little princes. They are premature babies and are as thin as kittens. Let them eat more so they can grow stronger."
The wet nurse responded and immediately carried the little prince to the compartment.
After the two nurses left, Prime Minister Wei belatedly asked, "Your Majesty, we didn't ask Divine Doctor Song which of these two children is the eldest prince and which is the second prince?"
Xie Junlin was also stunned.
yes.
I am just happy that I have two sons, but which one is the older and which one is the younger?
The two children have to be ranked in order, right?
Xie Junlin walked to the door of the room and asked Song Suihuan, "Dr. Song, which child is the eldest and which is the second?"
Song Suihuan was using his fingers to sew up the wound quickly when he answered distractedly, "The one on the left is the eldest, and the one on the right is the second."
Xie Junlin walked to the table in silence, stared at the basket, and tried hard to recall.
Which wet nurse is holding the child on the left?
He couldn't remember clearly, so he turned around and asked Chen Hai, "Do you remember?"
The master finally had a son, and Chen Hai was also very happy and couldn't stop smiling.
Facing his master's puzzled look, he blinked and said, "Your Majesty, you just hugged this one and then that one, changing the hugs several times. I am also dazzled by you. I don't know which prince is supposed to be on the left and which is the right..."
Xie Junlin laughed and scolded him as a waste, then asked the ministers.
The ministers looked at each other, none of them could speak.
this……
The emperor just performed a magic trick, holding one girl after another. He changed them so many times, who could remember which was which?
Xie Junlin felt a little guilty.
He coughed lightly and said with gritted teeth, "The two children were born at the same time, so it doesn't matter who is the eldest or the second. I'll hold them and weigh them later. Whoever is heavier will be the older brother."
“…”
The ministers were very amused.
Prime Minister Wei couldn't help but joked, "Your Majesty, as a father, you are really irresponsible."
Xie Junlin is now content with his son and has a surprisingly good temper. He said ashamedly, "Yes, this is my first time being a father. I am in a hurry and have no experience. Fortunately, it is not a serious matter. No matter who is the eldest and who is the second, they are all my treasures."
General Xiao secretly glanced at Xie Junlin with a complicated look in his eyes.
The emperor said that both children were his treasures, but one of them was from the Xiao family...
What if this child of their Xiao family is more promising, smarter and more capable than the emperor's own son, and the emperor makes their child the crown prince...
Then, how can he be true to his conscience?
General Xiao turned his head and looked in the direction of the compartment.
I hope that this child of the Xiao family is a little dumber, and not too successful, and not to usurp the throne of the Xie family...
As soon as he thought of this, the old man quickly shook his head.
No, how can a grandfather hope that his grandson is a fool? What if good things don't work and bad things do, and his grandson is really cursed by his grandfather to become a fool?
He still hopes that his grandson can be smart and popular...
…
In the room.
Song Suihuan finally finished her suture surgery.
After cleaning up the bloody things, she muttered to herself as she looked at the unconscious Shen Yuanwei.
"My queen, you said that you wanted to take advantage of the old general and the ministers to force the emperor to release you from the palace. Well, I'm going to use silver needles to wake you up by force..."
"If you wake up now, your wound will hurt a lot, but you dream of leaving the palace and returning to the Xiao family. You would rather suffer a little pain than lose this good opportunity, right?"
"My lady, I gave you an acupuncture..."
Song Suihuan took out a silver needle and slowly pierced several acupoints of Shen Yuanwei.
After a while, Shen Yuanwei woke up.
As soon as she woke up, she cried out in pain from the cut on her abdomen.
She took a deep breath and endured it with all her might, barely managing to suppress the bone-gnawing pain.
She looked at Song Suihuan with tears in her eyes.
Song Suihuan said quickly, "Madam, the baby has been taken out and the wound has been sutured. It is now midnight and the ministers and the old general will probably leave soon. If you want to leave the palace, you must leave early."
Shen Yuanwei looked down at her flat belly and asked Song Suihuan expectantly, "What about those two children..."
Song Suihuan smiled, "Congratulations, Madam, you have given birth to two little princes."
Shen Yuanwei's smile froze.
Both are sons?
That was really a good deal for Xie Junlin. Xie Junlin bullied Xiao Lingzhao so much, and she even wanted Xiao Lingzhao's child to inherit the throne of the Xie family.
It seems that God favors this emperor.
Shen Yuanwei endured the pain and asked Song Suihuan, "Can the wound on my face withstand the turbulence? If I leave the palace right now, will the wound burst and bleed profusely?"
Song Suihuan said, "If you ride in a carriage, your wound may burst. If you let two steady men carry you out on a spring stool, it should be fine."
Shen Yuanwei felt relieved.
She glanced at the bloody clothes and a dozen bloody handkerchiefs that Song Suihuan had gathered, and said, "Throw the bloody clothes and handkerchiefs on the ground, and show the bloody parts to people. I'll be more miserable, then the emperor will be moved—"
Song Suihuan agreed.
She scattered the handkerchiefs all over the ground as instructed, and the ground was covered with blood-stained handkerchiefs, it was extremely tragic.
Shen Yuanwei said, "Go open the door and let the emperor, General Xiao, and Prime Minister Wei in."
Song Suihuan nodded, opened the door and walked towards the tall and graceful emperor in the hall.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao has woken up and wants to see you—"
Xie Junlin suddenly turned around and looked at Song Suihuan in surprise.
