Chapter 162 The Emperor Goes to the Queen Mother to Settle Accounts
"Three pounds and nine ounces."
"Four pounds and one ounce."
"The one who weighs four catties and one ounce is the eldest prince, and the one who weighs three catties and nine ounces is the second prince."
Xie Junlin looked at the two children over and over again, then looked towards Shen Yuanwei, telling her and everyone else -
"The eldest prince has a mole on the sole of his foot, and the second prince has a mole behind his ear. Remember them well, and don't mistake the identities of the two little princes in the future."
The ministers also noticed the small black mole on the sole of the eldest prince's foot.
Everyone looked at each other and praised him.
"I have heard that people with seven stars on their feet are born to be emperors, and they are in charge of all the soldiers in the world! Although the eldest prince does not have the Big Dipper on his feet, this mole is located in the center of his foot, so he is also a person of great fortune and luck!"
"I have heard that people with moles on their ears are blessed. The second prince has a mole behind his ear, which is also a very good fate!"
"Your Majesty, both of your princes have good fortunes. They will surely live long and healthy lives, and have a smooth life!"
Xie Junlin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
There is no parent who does not want their children to be safe, live long and be successful.
He hoped that the two children would really be blessed with great fortune and a happy life as the ministers said.
On the spring bench.
Shen Yuanwei also memorized the characteristics of her two children.
The eldest prince has a mole on the sole of his foot, and the second prince has a mole behind his ear...
But which one is the child of the Xiao family?
There is no suitable opportunity to test it now...
When the full moon banquet comes, she and Xiao Lingzhao can use the opportunity to give gifts to the little princes to see which little prince can absorb Xiao Lingzhao's power...
Amidst the sounds of flattery, Xie Junlin caressed the two children's cheeks lovingly and looked up at Shen Yuanwei.
"Before you leave, would you like to name your two children? After all, they are your children, so you can name one of them."
Shen Yuanwei thought that it would be better to wait until the full moon day to confirm the child's identity before naming him.
She said, "Your Majesty, these two children are so beautiful. The names I gave them originally don't suit them. I want to give them new names. Can I wait until the children's full moon banquet, and then I can go to the palace to name them?"
She said carefully, "Can I come to the children's full moon banquet, Your Majesty?"
Xie Junlin was slightly stunned.
He sneered, "I thought you left them and never wanted to come back to see them again. How come you still remember to come when the full moon comes?"
Shen Yuanwei pursed her lips.
Xie Junlin didn't want to make things difficult for her, so he just taunted her and agreed.
"Okay, you come on. We will name the two children on the day of the full moon banquet."
Many children are named after one or two months.
A name will be with your child for their entire life, so it’s okay to give it some thought.
It was a good opportunity for him to think about it again. If the name Shen Yuanwei came up with was really not nice, he would use the one he came up with.
"Your Majesty, it is getting late. We will take our leave now..."
When the ministers saw that Xiao Lingzhao and his group were preparing to leave, they knelt down and followed them.
Xie Junlin hummed.
With his hands behind his back, he watched a group of people walking out of the hall. He was the only one left in the hall, and Xie Junlin suddenly felt lonely.
His eyes were fixed on the girl on the bench.
That was his beloved concubine who had slept with him in the same bed, but she abandoned him and his child and left...
Once they leave the palace, they will have nothing to do with the three of them, father and son.
His eyes were deep.
Watching the group walking further and further away, he suddenly reached out his hand and gently pinched the sleeping baby's butt.
How could a little baby endure the injustice inflicted by his father?
His father, who was sleeping soundly, actually pinched him, and he immediately started crying at the top of his lungs.
“Wooooooaaaa——”
“Wow—”
One child started crying, and the other child was startled and started crying too.
The loud cry of a baby penetrated the night wind and reached Shen Yuanwei's ears.
Shen Yuanwei, who was eager to return home, was stunned.
She suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the hall. Her heart tightened and she immediately supported herself on the stool with her arms, raised her body and tried to look back.
Song Suihuan quickly supported her and said, "Your Highness, you can't move like this, the wound will burst!"
Shen Yuanwei leaned in her arms and looked back at the tall and graceful emperor in the hall.
In the bright candlelight, the emperor stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a sad look.
Meeting her gaze, the emperor sighed softly.
"Look, the two children also know that their mother is leaving. They also know that they are going to be abandoned. They are also crying about their tragic fate..."
Shen Yuanwei gritted her teeth.
She suspected that Xie Junlin made the child cry on purpose.
I just want her to feel sorry for the child and compromise and stay for the child!
The crying of the two children, overwhelmed by the emotion of separation and in the dark night when her inner sadness was magnified, made her want to cry as well.
She raised her hand and pressed hard on her chest, trying to suppress the sadness and pain spreading in her heart.
no……
She couldn't compromise and stay.
The child is still young and ignorant, and is still at the age where whoever feeds her is her mother. Even if she leaves, she can still live happily under the care of the queen and the wet nurse. But she is an adult with her own emotions, and she will not be happy. If she stays in this place where she is not free, she will be unhappy for the rest of her life...
A short pain is worse than a long one.
Only by letting go can you live a better life.
With tears in her eyes, Shen Yuanwei took one last look in the direction of the hall and closed her eyes.
"Your Majesty, please take good care of the two children. I am leaving now."
She lay down again and motioned Xiao Lingzhao to move on.
Xiao Lingzhao also looked back, then silently carried the stool and left.
His wife was determined to go with him, and he would not persuade her to stay just for the two crying children.
He's not that great.
The group walked away gradually amid the crying of the child.
In the main hall.
Xie Junlin watched the group of people disappear into the night. He gritted his teeth and staggered back a step.
The child is crying like this, but you still don’t want to stay?
Is he really that bad?
He fell into the chair, looked sideways at the two crying children, and his eyes suddenly became red.
Chen Hai tactfully led the wet nurse away.
There were no more spectators in the hall, and Xie Junlin let his tears fall from the corners of his eyes.
The moment his tears wet the back of his hands, he felt a little dazed.
He was an emperor, but he shed tears because of the departure of a woman.
"Why should she?"
"How can she be worthy of..."
Xie Junlin murmured, he tried to make himself feel better by belittling that woman, but it was no use, no matter how much he belittled Shen Yuanwei, he still shed tears and felt heartbroken.
He sat alone in the dark night, allowing himself to reveal all his vulnerability and letting the darkness engulf him.
He suddenly thought, how nice it would be if he could meet that woman when he was ten years younger.
He is old now and he is no longer clean, so he was abandoned so thoroughly and without hesitation.
…
After sitting alone for a long time, Xie Junlin slowly stood up.
He couldn't be depressed here, he had to go to Shoukang Palace to see his mother who had brought trouble upon herself.
He had to ask his mother what had happened to her and why she had gone crazy. Why did she give Shen Yuanwei an abortion drug for no reason? Why did she make fun of his two children!
