Chapter 314 The male and female protagonists are fighting!
Xia Miaoyuan curiously sneaked to the door of the palace and looked out, only to see the Crown Princess and Concubine Rong, who were arguing with the young eunuch outside the palace and asked the young eunuch to go inside the palace to pass on the message, but the young eunuch was a little suspicious when he saw that Concubine Lu had not come out yet.
[What a coincidence! Sister-in-law came with Concubine Rong. She must have heard the news and came for Xiao Ba! ] Xia Miaoyuan was thinking wildly.
The Crown Princess saw Xia Miaoyuan's small figure swaying at the door of the palace, and she was so happy that she whispered to her: "Miao'er, we want to see the Emperor and the Queen, can you help us pass a message?"
Xia Miaoyuan nodded happily at her sister-in-law, then turned around and ran back to the palace.
"Father, mother, it's the eldest sister-in-law and Empress Rong, they want to see you!" Xia Miaoyuan ran to the emperor and empress in one breath with her short legs, reporting in a baby voice.
Xia Zhengqi picked up his daughter lovingly, then looked at the eighth prince who was still standing in the hall, "Chengtai, stop standing there, come sit next to your father."
The eighth prince smiled widely in surprise, and walked forward obediently. Xia Zhengqi leaned over and held him to sit beside him.
"Father, the eldest sister-in-law and Empress Rong are still waiting outside." Xia Miaoyuan urged.
"Okay! Let them in." Xia Zhengqi winked at Debao who was standing beside him.
After a pause, Xia Zhengqi said to Lady Lu who was kneeling below: "You should go back and take care of Xiaoqi first."
"Be more thoughtful in future actions. And don't trust others too easily."
Lady Lu thanked the emperor for his grace and quietly withdrew.
[Huh? It seems that Daddy also understands Lady Lu's innocent character! ]
When Lady Lu withdrew, Rongpin and the Crown Princess had already arrived in the palace. Before
the two of them saluted, Xia Zhengqi spoke first: "Crown Princess, there is no need to be polite. Just tell me what you want to say."
The expressions on the faces of the aunt and nephew relaxed a little after hearing this.
"Father, my aunt and I came here because..." The Crown Princess hesitated halfway through her words.
Xia Miaoyuan's eyes rolled around, "Sister-in-law, you want to say directly that Rongpin wants to raise the eighth prince, but is afraid that Dad will blame you for finding out the news, right?"
"You guys are too impatient. Can't you wait and come back?"
"Rongpin is really desperate to snatch a child."
In fact, when Xia Zhengqi learned that it was Rongpin who came, he guessed her intentions. Now that he heard his daughter's voice, it became even clearer.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhengqi spoke up to break the deadlock: "Rongpin, I was just about to summon you. You came just in time."
"Today, the Eighth Prince had some accidents, and Lady Lu couldn't take care of the two children. I have decided to find another foster mother for Little Eight."
Rongpin looked at Emperor Mingxi without blinking, her eyes full of expectation.
"What do you think of letting you raise Little Eight?" Xia Zhengqi asked seriously.
"I couldn't ask for more! I am willing to raise the Eighth Prince!" Rongpin blurted out as soon as Xia Zhengqi finished speaking.
"I promise that I will love the Eighth Prince with all my heart and treat him as my own."
Xia Zhengqi nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the Eighth Prince: "Chengtai, I will raise you under the name of Rongpin, are you willing?"
The Eighth Prince looked at Rongpin in a daze, and Rongpin looked at the Eighth Prince eagerly.
[Little Eight, say you are willing! ] Xia Miaoyuan was anxious for the Eighth Prince.
[Rongpin is reliable, more reliable than the previous Lu Meiren. ]
[The Rongpin in the book is a woman who combines beauty and wisdom. ]
[Rongpin used to be suppressed by Jiang Guifei's group because of her outstanding appearance. At that time, she had a hard time. But she relied on her own flattery and got through that period safely. 】
【Moreover, she was born with a deficiency and could not have children. If Xiao Ba followed her, she would definitely hold Xiao Ba in her heart. 】
The Eighth Prince listened attentively to Xia Miaoyuan's voice, and then murmured, "I am willing."
【Great, great, now Xiao Ba has a good home. 】
Rongpin immediately stepped forward with joy and hugged the Eighth Prince Xia Chengtai in her arms.
...
On the other side, Liang Mansion.
Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse returned to the mansion in a daze.
Yao Jinse was almost carried back to the main courtyard by Liang Chaozong and the maid.
"Husband, save Rouer..." Yao Jinse struggled to get up from the bed, pulling Liang Chaozong's sleeve and begging.
Liang Chaozong's face was dark: "Calm down, we have no way out at the moment."
Yao Jinse's eyes were red: "Have you decided to abandon our daughter?"
"She was born after ten months of pregnancy. She is our only daughter!"
When Yao Jinse was sold as a skinny horse in her early years, she was frozen and hungry, which damaged her female roots.
Later, after she was redeemed by Liang Chaozong, she went to a doctor for many years to give birth to a daughter like Liang Zhirou.
Therefore, Yao Jinse regarded this daughter as a treasure.
Seeing Liang Chaozong's indifferent attitude, Yao Jinse felt that something was blocking her heart and felt very uncomfortable.
Liang Chaozong grabbed Yao Jinse's hand and threw it down. Yao Jinse was so angry that she hugged his back even more.
"You are Rouer's father, how can you be so cruel!" Yao Jinse cried hoarsely.
Liang Chaozong could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He was furious and roughly pried Yao Jinse's hands apart. He turned around and pushed her onto the bed.
Yao Jinse was already weak because of the severe blow. Liang Chaozong threw her to the bed and she couldn't get up for a long time.
"Now, you still have the nerve to ask me to save her!" Liang Chaozong's voice was low, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.
"I planned carefully for a long time before I finally got the status of an imperial merchant."
"It was with the status of an imperial merchant that my husband and I were able to enter the palace."
"It was by attending the palace banquet that you got to know the empress dowager and had the opportunity to recognize your stepmother."
"And that's how I got the status of the empress dowager's adopted daughter, Princess Jinse!"
"Then I was able to send Rou'er to the palace to be the princess's companion."
"But now, these plots have been ruined in one day!"
"All our arrangements in the palace have been ruined!" "First, it was
your stepmother who was smart enough to spread rumors in the palace and got herself placed under house arrest."
"Then it was your good daughter who was smart enough to provoke the eighth prince and the little princess."
"How could your stepmother and your daughter be so stupid!?"
Yao Jinse struggled to get up from the bed and cried, "How could you say that about my biological mother?"
"When she was deliberately spreading rumors in the palace, didn't you applaud? Now you say this again!"
"Besides, regarding Rou'er, she is not only my daughter, she is also your daughter. What grounds do you have to blame me like this?!"
