Chapter 217 I Never Mentioned Those Two Words
The Queen Mother's voice disappeared.
The hall fell into deathly silence.
Everyone was silent, with different expressions.
The queen quietly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, seemingly wanting to cough, but in fact she was using this action to hide her gnashing teeth. However, the hatred in her eyes could not be concealed.
Zhang Chengyan took Bai Wutong's hand and walked steadily towards the dragon throne, which symbolized supreme power.
"You gave birth to two such outstanding princes for me. From today on, your position as concubine will be restored."
Zhang Chengyan's voice echoed in the hall, announcing to everyone.
Bai Wutong bowed, knelt down, and expressed his gratitude in a gentle and pleasant voice.
But there was a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm hidden in those lowered eyes.
Look, this is a man!
So cold and callous.
Just because Yun and Yunxi got into trouble, he demoted his position without hesitation and kept saying that she was not worthy of raising the prince.
That resolute look made her seem as if she was the most vicious woman in the world!
But now that Yun and Yunxi were getting better, he was not stingy in praising himself and restoring her position.
I can only say that he is too realistic.
The reality made Bai Wutong feel a chill in his heart.
Fortunately, she had already seen clearly that no matter what Zhang Chengyan did, her heart would not be disturbed. She just felt that all this was so ridiculous.
She doesn't expect any love between men and women, or to grow old together.
For her, as long as her child is well, that's enough.
Two people sat upright on the dragon throne, one of them holding a child in his arms.
From the perspective of others, this scene seems like a match made in heaven and is extremely harmonious.
Yunhe was smart and saw that Zhang Chengyan was doing Bai Wutong a favor. He kissed Zhang Chengyan on the face and said crisply, "Father, you are so kind."
"Good!" Zhang Chengyan was delighted to see him so lively and clever. "Where did you learn these poems?"
"I learned it from my mother." Bai Wutong had long ago taught Yunhe how to answer, "My mother always recites poems in her free time. I listened to her so many times that I learned it. I can even recite several poems!"
After saying that, Yunhe shook his head and recited a few sentences.
He spoke clearly, his voice was crisp and pleasant, and he looked confident when reciting poems, already looking like an heir to a royal family.
"You are worthy of being my child, you are very talented. This must be God's blessing to our Darong Kingdom!" Zhang Chengyan was in great joy. "In the future, you will stay with your father, and he will teach you personally."
Seeing this, Bai Wutong felt that the time had come, and spoke at the right time, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not..."
"You can just say it." At this moment, Zhang Chengyan looked at Bai Wutong and felt more and more pleased with him.
Not only did she give birth to the only two children in the palace, but they were also two princes, and they were so smart. She was an absolute hero!
"Your Majesty, do you still remember what you said last time in Qimeng Garden? If Yun and Yunxi can recover, you will make them the crown princes." Bai Wutong said as she bowed again with an earnest look, "Your Majesty, I am not saying this to force you to make them the crown princes immediately. I just sincerely hope that the emperor's luck will continue to bless them, so that they can become more intelligent and healthy. I have already experienced the pain of losing them once, and I really don't want to experience it again."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone on the field looked drastically changed.
Especially the concubines on the right, all had different expressions.
Their thoughts were instantly drawn back to that day in the Dream Garden.
The emperor had made a promise personally at that time that if the two princes recovered, he would confirm the position of crown prince!
Jin Weige's face looked grim, his nails dug deeply into his palms, and he tightly grasped the handkerchief in his hand.
She raised her head and stared at Bai Wutong with resentment.
No, we must not let the Emperor appoint a crown prince so easily!
But her current status makes it inconvenient for her to speak. Didn’t she see that the queens before her were all silent?
There was no other way, she could only look anxiously at Jin Zhi opposite her and keep winking at him.
Brother, please think of a solution quickly!
If Bai Wutong's child becomes the crown prince, how will she survive in the harem in the future?
Wouldn't she be suppressing me again?
And if she has her own children in the future, won’t she lose the chance to become the crown prince?
Jin Zhi received his sister's gaze, but just frowned slightly and did not respond.
In his opinion, as Yunhe was the eldest son and was very talented, it was natural and nothing wrong to make him the crown prince.
Although Yunhe is still young, being appointed as the crown prince early on will help stabilize the court and make the people feel more at ease.
As a loyal minister in the court, he could not refute this proposal which was beneficial to the Darong Kingdom just because of his sister's selfish desires.
Seeing that Jin Zhi had no reaction, Jin Weige became more and more anxious.
Her eyes searched the crowd frantically and finally fell on Wen Chuyun.
Doesn’t Wen Chuyun also have a chubby belly?
After some time, when her face has recovered and she regains the emperor's favor, she might be able to conceive again.
Is she willing to give up the throne so easily?
Wen Chuyun noticed Jin Weige's gaze and thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
I am not pregnant yet, and even if I am, it won’t be the first son.
Unless she could give birth to a child who was even more intelligent than Zhang Yunhe, even if she gave birth to a son, the possibility of him becoming the crown prince would be slim.
Besides, a strange phenomenon occurred at the first birthday banquet today, and the emperor was very happy. She didn't want to rashly come out at this time and spoil the emperor's interest and become the target of public criticism.
Zhang Chengyan did not speak immediately, but looked directly at Bai Wutong with sharp eyes.
He recalled what happened in Qimeng Garden that day.
Whether it was this year's first birthday banquet or the current proposal to establish a crown prince, it seemed that Bai Wutong was the one pushing for it behind the scenes.
If she hadn't begged me that day, I would have canceled the first birthday party.
Could it be that... all this was Bai Wutong's plan from the beginning?
“When did Yun and Yunxi start to get better?”
When Bai Wutong heard this, he knew that Zhang Chengyan became suspicious.
But she was not panicked. As a mother, it was understandable for her to do anything for her children.
What's more, today's first birthday party is perfect.
Miracles descended from the sky, and God blessed us.
As long as this news spreads, the people will think that he is a good emperor recognized by God.
Such a result will only benefit the country, the people and the royal family, and will not cause any harm.
Even if Zhang Chengyan really knew her plan, he would not be really angry because of his consideration of interests.
When it comes to relationships between men and women, realistic people may make people feel heartbroken.
But in conflicts of interest, such people are the best!
"Your Majesty, since Yun and Yunxi were unfortunately poisoned, I have been extremely worried. I would like to ask Sister Chunrou to help me find herbs to detoxify them. I am just a woman with limited medical skills. It is difficult for me to judge whether these herbs are effective. I can only try them carefully."
"At that time in Qimeng Garden, their condition did show signs of improvement. I also heard that the emperor is virtuous and protects all people. If they can get some of the emperor's good fortune, they may be able to recover completely. That's why I dare to ask the emperor to hold this birthday banquet."
At this point, Bai Wutong raised her head and looked directly into Zhang Chengyan's eyes. "As for the matter of the crown prince, it was you, Your Majesty, who brought it up. I have never said these two words!"
