Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan exchanged a glance.
Emperor Rongcheng, however, looked puzzled.
He couldn't help but scrutinize Gu Jinxi carefully. The more he looked, the more familiar he seemed, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. In the end, he simply said something in confusion.
"This child comes from the countryside. It's all thanks to his mother's good upbringing that he was able to come to the palace and be protected by the Crown Prince."
Now even the Empress Dowager and Rongyang are protecting him.
He's a lucky one, actually.
He said this and then hesitated for a moment.
"But I heard that this child's father died a long time ago. How... do you know his father?"
Jiang Xianhao rolled her eyes at him.
I'm too lazy to talk to him.
This glance caused Emperor Rongcheng to pause, and his heart fluttered.
It was as if he had been transported back to many years ago, to the time when they were most deeply in love, and Jiang Xianhao would look at him like this.
Then, in a blasphemous manner, she pointed at his forehead and said, "Are you stupid?!"
The same thing is happening now. Although Jiang Xianhao didn't say it, he still heard the words "you're stupid."
Jiang Xianhao picked Gu Jinxi up and said softly, "Do you know that my son looked a lot like you when he was little?"
Gu Jinxi reacted quickly, her gaze almost instinctively falling on Shen Hechuan.
He paused for a moment before looking at Jiang Xianhao.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to say that His Highness the Crown Prince is my father?"
One sentence startled Emperor Rongcheng.
He almost subconsciously looked up, his gaze falling on Shen Hechuan, then carefully examining Gu Jinxi before taking a step back in disbelief.
"you……"
As he spoke, he stepped forward, took Gu Jinxi from her, and carried her to Shen Hechuan's side.
Then they put the two together and compared them carefully.
Although Shen Hechuan looked different when he was young compared to now, his facial features are undeniable.
Looking at the similar features of the two men, Emperor Rongcheng understood everything.
"No wonder!"
No wonder Shen Hechuan insisted on bringing Gu Jinxi into the palace despite everyone's disapproval.
No wonder the Empress Dowager and Rongyang dote on this child.
No wonder Consort Hui was willing to drink poison herself to frame Shen Hechuan.
It's no wonder that such a young child became a thorn in Consort Hui's side, and she was willing to poison herself to frame Shen Hechuan.
It turns out that this child was actually Shen Hechuan's offspring.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
He looked at Gu Jinxi's bewildered face and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You little rascal, you're actually my grandson..."
The more he looked at Gu Jinxi, the more he liked her, and even Gu Jingchun seemed more pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, okay."
He said "good" several times in a row.
"Our great empire has a worthy successor."
As he spoke, ignoring the reactions of those present, he picked up Gu Jinxi and headed towards Wanhe Palace.
Gu Jinxi was not unhappy at all when Rongcheng Emperor held him. Only when Rongcheng Emperor carried him out did he look at Gu Jingchun helplessly.
Gu Jingchun nodded to him, and he calmed down, letting Emperor Rongcheng carry him away.
Wanhe Hall.
Emperor Rongcheng glanced at Gu Jinxi, who was playing alone, while processing the memorials.
As an emperor, Emperor Rongcheng had many concubines, but he had few children over the years.
Over the years, Prince Rui has had many concubines in the palace, but he has not had any children.
Therefore, everyone is saying that the Shen family is having difficulty having offspring.
This makes Gu Jinxi all the more precious.
After Emperor Rongcheng finished reviewing a memorial, he saw Gu Jinxi sitting listlessly to the side, staring intently at the calligraphy brush in his hand, so he asked her a question.
"You want to learn to write?"
Gu Jinxi nodded. "I can write now."
"oh?"
Emperor Rongcheng was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this, and instructed Dexi to prepare a set of writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
After that, he watched Gu Jinxi write with great interest.
In Emperor Rongcheng's eyes, Gu Jinxi was only five years old and could at most write a few simple characters, so that was all.
However, to his utter surprise, Gu Jinxi picked up the pen and wrote a piece of calligraphy fluently.
Moreover, the handwriting was quite good; if Emperor Rongcheng hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it at all.
He was surprised for a moment before asking him.
"Xier, what books have you read?"
After Gu Jinxi finished recounting the books she had read, Emperor Rongcheng was utterly astonished.
It was only then that he clearly realized...
The Gu Jinxi standing before me is a genius.
A rare genius.
"Hahaha……"
He laughed again and couldn't help but look at Dexi beside him.
"Our future at Dacheng is sure to be limitless!"
Upon seeing this, Dexi immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Your Majesty is blessed with boundless good fortune. It is a great blessing that our little grandson has such ability."
Emperor Rongcheng nodded happily.
"good."
He laughed a few more times.
"From this day forward, I will personally instruct my grandson."
******
Jingyu Palace.
After Jiang Xianhao returned home, she hurriedly went to her study.
She searched inside for a long time, which attracted the attention of Jing Tan and Yun Shu who came over to ask her questions.
"Your Majesty, what are you looking for?"
"Tell me, and I'll help you find it."
Jiang Xianhao then asked, "What about my things from before I entered the palace?"
