The emperor's hands were shaking as he held the memorial, fearing that he had read it wrong.

The imperial physician reported that King Jing had four healthy boys, all of whom were not mute.

The emperor pressed the memorial to his chest and took a deep breath. He had thought that his bloodline with Queen Xiaohui might be severed by King Jing, but...

King Jing actually had four healthy children!

There was no more exciting news than this.

The emperor laughed out loud and no longer cared about Prince Jing's previous minor offense. He was so happy to have four more children that he quickly ordered Luo Ruisheng to fetch the imperial edict and wrote an imperial decree himself, naming Li Yu as Prince Jing's principal wife, Prince Jing's eldest son as the crown prince, his second son as the fifth-rank Yunqi Wei, his third son as the seventh-rank Enqi Wei...

The emperor was so happy that he named four princesses in a row, muttering to himself, "The title of princess is an arranged marriage, not a reward. Li Yu and Prince Jing have both made great contributions, so just grant the title to these little grandchildren."

Steward Luo, who was watching from the side, twitched his lips, and saw that the emperor had also given the title of Enqi Wei to Prince Jing's youngest son. He thought to himself, it was you who refused to give the title of principal wife at that time, but your attitude has changed so much now!

But Luo Zongguan also knew which thigh to cling to in the future. It was fate. The emperor did have other grandchildren. For example, the Anhou family had not entered the palace for a long time, and the emperor could not easily remember them. For example, the third prince's family, the oldest was six years old, and the youngest was three years old. The third prince often let them approach the emperor recently, but these few were taught to be very strict. The emperor thought about them every time, but found them boring after meeting them. He only met them a few times. Unlike the Jingwang family, the emperor missed them very much before he even met them, and even gave them titles. This was too rare.

Steward Luo was a shrewd man, and he said what the emperor wanted to hear: "I heard from the imperial physician that the three grandchildren look very much like His Royal Highness Prince Jing, and the youngest grandchild looks more like Master Li."

The emperor had never seen Li Yu, but he remembered what Prince Jing looked like when he was young. He thought about it for a while and smiled, "If that's true, it's interesting."

The emperor was anxious to see the little grandchild, and he wanted to see it even more after learning from Luo Ruisheng that the little grandchild looked like Prince Jing.

I heard that the Western Frontier was governed well by Prince Jing recently, but it was not as good as the imperial city, so he should not let the little grandchildren suffer.

The emperor originally planned to let Prince Jing's son hone his skills outside for two more years, but now that his son had a grandson, the emperor wished that Prince Jing would fly back immediately.

Thanks to Steward Luo's repeated persuasion, the little grandchildren were just born, how could they bear the journey.

The emperor then stopped, realizing that he was too happy. Of course, he would have to wait until the children grew up before summoning them.

This year, the emperor was very satisfied with the various political achievements made by Prince Jing in the western frontier. In comparison, the Sixth Prince, who had only repaired the Zhongcui Palace, seemed very mediocre.

Prince Jing now had a healthy legitimate son, so it was not a big problem even if he could not speak.

The emperor could not help but tilt the scale in Prince Jing's heart. Considering that Prince Jing's family was in the western frontier, before Prince Jing returned to the imperial city, it was better not to spread the news that Prince Jing had a legitimate son.

The emperor ordered Luo Ruisheng to secretly issue an imperial decree and reveal the news to Old Cheng'en. As Prince Jing's grandfather, Old Cheng'en should know the good news. In order to avoid leaking the news, the emperor also told Ye Qian not to say more.

Ye Qian was the first to learn about the birth of a son by King Jing. He was so happy that he burst into tears. The emperor's instructions made him realize that something was unusual. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly came to his senses.

Ye Qian said nothing, but ordered the door of Cheng'en Mansion to be closed and summoned a troupe to perform for three days and three nights. The old man walked with a breeze these days, and his body, which was not very good to begin with, became stronger.

The emperor finally gave in and changed Li Yu's title to the principal wife.

Unlike the last time when it was just a reply, this time it was written into the imperial edict, and the dust settled.

King Jing had expected this result, and the next step was to ask the emperor to allow him to hold his own wedding in the western frontier.

The emperor was not happy at first. As a father, how could he not be present at his son's wedding? But now that he already had a grandson, it would be unreasonable not to hold the wedding. The emperor himself could not leave the imperial city. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only agree to King Jing's request

. King Jing then handed the emperor another list of names. These were the names of several families who hoarded ducks when King Jing was dealing with the locust plague. The emperor realized that King Jing was taking advantage and still wanted to file a complaint.

And the complaint was quite clever. Let the emperor investigate it himself, and King Jing did not intervene. Since the emperor sent King Jing to the western frontier, he had ordered people to keep an eye on the news exchanges between the imperial city and the western frontier. With this list, the emperor soon discovered that these people who hoarded ducks were directed by powerful forces behind them.

During the time when King Jing was fighting against locusts, only the Jinyi Marquis's Mansion passed on the news to the west. The first one to lead the way in hoarding ducks was a distant relative of a member of the Ministry of Rites named Qin.

The Jinyi Marquis's Mansion and the Third Prince were related by marriage, and Qin was a member of the Third Prince's party and often worked for the Third Prince. It was needless to say who was behind it.

When the guards in front of the guards found Qin, they also gained something else. When King Jing had not arrived in the western border, someone in the western border spread rumors that King Jing was violent and cruel to the people. This was also done by Qin's order.

The guards even found all the letters in the Qin Mansion. The evidence was overwhelming. The emperor was shocked. Mu Tianming was right under his nose, and he could only go to the study to study. He could even reach out to the western border. Was he trying to harm King Jing? The emperor

originally did not intend to touch the third prince. He wanted to give him a decent treatment, but the third prince himself did not want it.

The emperor had a cold face. He first punished the restless Jinyi Marquis Mansion, demoted the title of Jinyi Marquis to the lowest rank, and then conferred the title of Ping Marquis on the third prince. With the second prince, An Marquis, in front, the two of them just made a pair.

Mu Tianming, who knew that he was completely abandoned, stumbled to the palace gate. The guards in charge of guarding the palace gate prevented the third prince from entering the palace. The third prince had no choice but to cry and kowtow in the direction of the Qianqing Palace.

"Father, please see your son. I am really not your son!"

Mu Tianming begged desperately every time he kowtowed.

He really couldn't explain. Jinyi Hou did help him to find out the news, but that was all. He didn't instruct Jinyi Hou to do anything else. He didn't know why Qin Yuanwailang was making trouble, and he didn't know how those letters with instructions and handwriting similar to his got into the Qin Mansion's study.

But the emperor had already recognized him and didn't want to hear any excuses from him.

The Third Prince knelt for a day and a night, and it rained heavily, drenching him to the bone.

When he was about to lose his mind, an oil-paper umbrella came over and was slowly raised to the head of the Third Prince.

Mu Tianming raised his eyes and met Mu Tianxiao, who was full of concern.

The Sixth Prince under the oil-paper umbrella was always gentle and elegant.

"Third brother, be careful not to catch a cold." Mu Tianxiao reached out to support Mu Tianming.

Everyone said that the Sixth Prince followed the Third Prince wholeheartedly. Even if the Third Prince fell into the dust, the Sixth Prince would not leave him. But who knew that Mu Tianming's mood at this moment was colder than being drenched by rain.

"Mu Tianxiao, let me ask you."

Mu Tianming slapped the Sixth Prince's hand away, wiped his face and said in a deep voice, "Did the Qin follow your orders?"

Mu Tianming only gave the token to Mu Tianxiao. Since Qin Yuanwailang did not instruct him, it must be Mu Tianxiao. No wonder his handwriting was easily obtained by others. It was Mu Tianxiao who planned all this behind his back, but the emperor blamed him!

"Third brother, have you finally found out?"

Mu Tianxiao smiled lightly, turned the umbrella boredly, and watched the raindrops fall.

"I originally wanted to create some trouble for King Jing, so that I can gain power as soon as possible, and this is also for the good of my third brother."

"You are talking nonsense! You are clearly taking advantage of my trust and using me as a stepping stone. You--you have forgotten that you were useless before, and who protected you and gave you tasks!"

Mu Tianming got excited and grabbed Mu Tianxiao's collar angrily, wishing he could strangle this ungrateful person to death with his own hands.

Mu Tianxiao did not resist, and let him shake for a while, then raised his lips and smiled and said, "Third brother, now that things have come to this, I advise you to stay calm."

Mu Tianxiao pried open Mu Tianming's fingers one by one, and Mu Tianming was surprised to find that the sixth prince had such great strength.

Mu Tianxiao straightened his collar and said slowly, "Third brother, the emperor will no longer trust you. It's useless for you to say anything. If you stay quiet and be the Marquis of Ping, when I ascend the throne, maybe I will still remember the kindness you showed me."

"How dare you--" Mu Tianming couldn't stand such humiliation and tried to rush forward again.

The guards rushed out from behind Mu Tianxiao and restrained him.

Mu Tianxiao turned around with a sneer and said, "Third brother, please do as you please. I'm sorry I can't keep you company."

Mu Tianxiao walked into the rain curtain alone with an umbrella, and ignored Mu Tianming's scolding and wailing behind him.

Mu Tianxiao was completely free of the Third Prince and was in a good mood. When he returned to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, he heard his confidant report that the Emperor had arranged a marriage for King Jing, and King Jing's wife was Li Yu.

Mu Tianxiao couldn't help but snort and laugh. Marrying a man as his principal wife, King Jing would not be able to cause any trouble.

He was secretly proud of himself when his confidant stepped back and whispered, "Your Highness, there was news from the western border just now, saying that King Jing had four healthy legitimate sons."

Mu Tianxiao: "…………What?"

Mu Tianxiao looked panicked. King Jing was going to marry a man, so where did the four legitimate sons come from, and they were all good?

Was he mistaken?

Mu Tianxiao didn't believe the confidant's words, so he snatched the secret report from the confidant and read it word by word.

The Sixth Prince had few people in the West Frontier and could not sneak into the King Jing's mansion. The so-called secret report was similar to what the people of Luofeng Town knew.

King Jing really had a healthy child. In this way, muteness was no longer an indelible defect for King Jing...

The Sixth Prince thought about it and couldn't figure out how this child came about. However, he had considered the consequences of King Jing having a child. If King Jing was not mute, what advantage would he have over King Jing?

Was it because he had worked hard in the Ministry of Works for half a year to repair the palace, or because he was the biological mother of a palace maid?

He had finally come to where he is now under the aura of the Third Prince. He was about to marry a lady of noble birth and get support from the Yue family. The Third Prince's power was fully utilized by him. He was moving towards that position step by step. Just because King Jing gave birth to a son, would he take away everything he was about to get?

He would never allow this to happen!

The Sixth Prince read the secret report over and over again, vowing to find King Jing's flaws.

King Jing, who had no flaws, was now in a state of panic.

The king regarded the four children as four little lucky stars and found the best wet nurses for them. However, these four lucky stars, except for a few bowls of milk on the day they were "born", just cried afterwards and refused to eat milk. They really became four ancestors.

The imperial physician was invited to see them, but the imperial physician could not find any problems.

Li Yu was very anxious, but it was strange that as soon as he held the child, the child's crying immediately became much quieter, but as soon as he handed the child to the wet nurse, the child cried with red face and thick neck, and each one was more breathless than the other.

It seems that it is still used to being a fish, and it can't live without a fish father.

The children still miss him, Li Yu is secretly happy, but the baby will not be able to hold on if he doesn't drink milk - does this mean that he can only feed it?

Feeding a baby is not like feeding a fish, it seems quite interesting.

Li Yu rubbed his hands excitedly: "How about I try it?"

King Jing: "..."
