Chapter 548 The Emperor's Nephew
"Sister, I'm here. I'm here with my brother in my arms."
Wen Nuo was drooling as he looked at the colorful pastries of various shapes on the table.
There was a cub sitting in the big bag in his arms, looking at the pastries on the table with curious big eyes.
Song Yu had no classes today, so Mu Jingxing took the time to come and learn how to make pastries from her.
Song Yu glanced at the two brothers and couldn't help but sigh softly.
There was already one little greedy mouth, and now there is another little greedy mouth.
Well, what else can we do?
Just pamper her.
Song Yu directly picked up a piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it into Wen Nuo's mouth. "Your younger brother can't eat these yet. Why don't you bring it here so that he can watch you eat it?"
"No, I brought him here to smell it. My mother is here too and went to Phoenix Terrace. Hey, why don't I see my younger brother, the prince?"
"He's at my grandparents'. You can see him when you go to Jinquetai. How's the mung bean cake? Is it delicious?"
"Mmm, delicious. My sister's cooking is as delicious as always."
Song Yu patted the man beside him and said, "Brother Jing, you heard it, right? Now your pastry-making skills are as good as mine."
"What?" Wen Nuo was incredulous. "Could this table full of cakes have all been made by the prince?"
Mu Jingxing smiled and nodded, "I made all of them. Why don't you try something else and see how it tastes?"
Wen Nuo hurriedly picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and then ate the osmanthus cake in two big mouthfuls.
He picked up the rose flower cake and ate it in three big bites.
Seeing that he was enjoying his meal, Mu Jingxing asked, "Is it delicious, Xiao Nuo?"
"It's delicious. You've made it before, right?"
"I've never cooked before. I only started learning to make pastries from Sister Yu after we got engaged. Whenever she doesn't have classes, I'll take time to come and learn. From now on, whenever Sister Yu wants to eat, I'll make it for her."
Only then did Wen Nuo realize why his sister was so fond of the Crown Prince.
He only made pastries once and made his sister sick with sweetness.
"Sister, I'll learn from you and make it for you later."
Song Yu shook his head. "Forget it. Just eat your meal."
"Miss." Bai Lan came over with a food box, "The peony fruit cake is out of the oven."
Song Yu took it and handed it to Mu Jingxing, "Go back to the yamen quickly and have Xiao Fei take it back to the mansion. When I have no classes next time, I want to go to Quanshan Villa to play and go to Fengming Mountain to watch the sunrise. Will you be very busy at the yamen those days?"
"I haven't had many cases lately, so I won't be too busy. I'll pick you up early in the morning."
Sister Yu is going on an outing, so he has to make time even if he is not free.
Time passed quickly as Song Yu and Mu Jingxing went on one pleasant outing after another.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days before the Autumn Examination.
"Empress, Concubine Qin and Concubine Cui just launched their attacks at the same time."
Su Qiqi said calmly: "Hurry up and notify the female doctor from the Imperial Hospital to come over and make all the necessary arrangements. These two people cannot have any mishaps. Then send someone to notify the Emperor."
"yes."
The little prince saw the palace maid hurriedly leave and pulled Concubine Qing into the hall.
"Did something happen to the Queen Mother?"
"Concubine Qin and Concubine Cui just started together. They will give birth to a brother or sister for you today. Are you happy?"
The little prince nodded, "Of course I'm happy. They must be healthy."
Concubine Qing: "Don't worry, Lin'er, they are definitely healthy. Your Majesty, shall we go over now?"
Su Qiqi nodded, "Let's go."
Concubine Qin and Cui Fei became pregnant, so Su Qiqi arranged for them to stay together to take care of the baby.
When Xiao Yanli arrived, Su Qiqi and the other two were already waiting.
Xiao Yanli was extremely anxious as he heard the cries of pain coming from the house.
I was worried that they would have difficult labor and that they would both give birth to daughters.
What if I give birth to a son and he is not in good health?
"Your Majesty." Su Qiqi pulled him away and said, "Don't worry, the two of you will definitely have a son if you use the secret recipe for having a son that Sister Yu gave you."
Xiao Yanli: "Not necessarily. Concubine Qin had a difficult birth when she gave birth to the little princess and she was injured. So was Concubine Cui. Also, I wasn't very energetic at the time. What if this prescription doesn't work?"
"Wanwan and the daughters-in-law of the Wen family both used the secret recipe to give birth to sons. They will definitely give birth to sons."
Xiao Yanli: "What if my son is weak again? What if he's fine physically but not smart?"
Su Qiqi took a deep breath and said, "You always think of bad things. If what you think comes true, you will be happy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of babies crying could be heard from both rooms.
"Father, Emperor, and Mother, the baby is born. Come quickly."
Aunt Luo and Nanny Yu each entered a delivery room.
Su Qiqi and Concubine Qing don’t care whether the child is a boy or a girl, but they want to give the child to them to raise. Or whoever has the child should raise it?
Xiao Yanli was feeling conflicted at the moment, hoping it was a son but also hoping it wasn't.
After three breaths, Nanny Yu and Aunt Luo came out holding the child.
Concubine Qing hurriedly asked, "Auntie Luo, did Concubine Cui give birth to a boy or a girl?"
Luo Gu glanced at Xiao Yanli's expression and said cautiously, "Yes... the little princess."
Su Qiqi: "Aunt Yu."
Nanny Yu didn't say anything and just took the child over.
Su Qiqi opened the swaddling clothes, took a look at it, handed it to Xiao Yanli, and took the little prince away.
Seeing that Xiao Yanli didn't dare to open the swaddling clothes to check, Concubine Qing hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and opened the swaddling clothes, "Your Majesty, the child is very well-behaved and adorable."
Xiao Yanli's panicked heart calmed down at this moment.
I actually felt a little relieved.
"Go chase Yu'er quickly, leave this to me."
After Xiao Yanli finished speaking, he carried the two children into the room.
Concubine Qing looked at his back, somewhat surprised.
They are all little princesses, why isn’t the emperor unhappy?
Is this accepting your fate?
That night, Xiao Yanli went to Kunning Palace early to talk with Su Qiqi and the little prince.
"...Father, I support you in whatever decision you make. I want to rest peacefully, grow up safely, and spend more time with you, Father, Mother, and Mother."
"Good boy." Su Qiqi hugged the little prince lovingly.
Lin'er has been sick and weak these years, but he still has to worry about court affairs, which has been very hard for him.
"Qiqi."
Su Qiqi looked up at him and said, "Since you have an idea, just follow your heart."
The next day, Jiang Yunwan woke up to the sound of magpies cheering outside the window, and her eyelids were twitching.
Song Mingen had already gone to the palace to attend the grand court meeting.
Is there anything happy happening today?
“Wow wow wow… wow wow wow wow… wow wow wow wow…”
The young master's evil voice came, and Jiang Yunwan's good mood disappeared instantly.
Nothing good is going to happen, this is going to require a diaper change.
"Someone come."
Caiwei and others came in and quickly changed the little master's diaper.
Jiang Yunwan took it and patiently fed the little prince breast milk with an expressionless face.
If Sister Yu hadn't said that breastfeeding for a year would make her son healthier, she would have stopped the baby in a month.
She swore that she would not breastfeed her next child herself but let the wet nurse do the feeding.
However, when she gave birth to her second and third children, twin boys and girls, she was reluctant to let others do it for her, so she fed them herself.
At the same time, in the court, most of the ministers made their reports, and Xiao Yanli called Song Mingen out.
"Aye, you are in charge of supervising the Autumn Examination this time. Cheating is strictly prohibited. Do you understand?"
"clear."
The more Xiao Yanli looked at him, the more he liked him. "Wang Gui, read the imperial edict."
Wang Gui took the imperial edict, spread it out, and read it aloud word by word in a clear and melodious voice.
When the court officials heard the contents of the imperial edict, they were stunned for a moment.
What does it mean that the emperor appointed Xiao Hongye as the crown prince?
Prince Xiaorong is the emperor's nephew. Does he need to be read out in an imperial edict?
Xiao Yanli saw that after the imperial edict was read, the court officials still looked confused, and even A Ye looked puzzled.
Xiao Yanli understood instantly that there had never been a precedent in history of an emperor appointing his nephew as the crown prince.
"My fellow ministers, in less than a year, Aye has been able to oversee the six ministries. I don't need to tell you. You should all know that Aye is fully capable of handling this important task."
Only then did the court officials suddenly realize that the Crown Prince’s nephew was the heir to the throne.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I object!"
