Chapter 56 Is this my biological child?

Xia Miaoyuan continued to watch the show while sitting on a rattan mat. When she saw Xia Zhengqi's attitude towards Concubine Shu, she was puzzled.

[The Fifth Prince was punished, so Concubine Shu doesn't need to be held accountable? ]

[Not only is she not held accountable, but she was also invited by her father to have dinner? ]

[So, the world where only the Fifth Prince is hurt has been created! ]

In the main hall of Kunning Palace, a simple and warm dinner was set. Xia Zhengqi, Concubine Shu, and the Queen sat around the table. Nanny stood aside, holding Xia Miaoyuan.

The three of them had a very comfortable dinner.

"Thinking back to the past, when we were in the palace, we had meals like this every day." The Queen smiled.

"Yes, so many years have passed in a flash." Concubine Shu sighed.

"That's right, Chengwan, Chengnian, Chengshun are all that old now." Xia Zhengqi looked at the wine glass in his hand, as if reminiscing about the past.

"Yan Qing, I asked you to raise Chengshun, isn't that too much for you?" Xia Zhengqi took a sip of wine and changed the subject.

Concubine Shu sighed softly: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? It is a blessing for me that Your Majesty handed Chengshun to me."

[Woqu, you are so tired of talking. It's a headache for whoever raises a little fool! ]

Xia Zhengqi listened to his daughter's complaints and was so anxious that he couldn't spit out a mouthful of wine.

"I know that Chengshun is naughty, and now that he has encountered misfortune, I'm afraid he will be even more difficult to manage."

The Queen frowned slightly: "What the Emperor said is all true. Sister Yanqing, if you have any difficulties, you might as well tell us so that we can all brainstorm together."

"Speaking of which, the burden of raising Chengshun should not be borne by you alone. Your Majesty is the father, and I bear the title of Queen. Speaking of which, we all have responsibilities for the children in the palace." After

hearing this, Concubine Shu curled her lips: "Empress, Emperor, it's not that serious!"

"To be honest, when Chengshun first came to my palace, I was still worried, afraid that he would cause trouble every other day."

"But when we really get along, it's not the case at all."

"Chengshun is a child who never picks and chooses what to wear or eat. He seems to be indifferent to the trivialities of life."

"As for his studies, it's a headache. I don't know why he often skips school these days."

"But the reason for his skipping is really strange. He either goes to Shoukang Palace to see the Empress Dowager or comes to Kunning Palace to see the little princess."

Xia Zhengqi and the Empress Dowager were puzzled when they heard this.

"Why has this child become like this?" Xia Zhengqi and the Empress looked at each other and murmured.

"He often goes to the Empress Dowager's palace. Could it be that he wants to ask the Empress Dowager for help and see Jiang..." The Empress was about to say Concubine Jiang, but she knew she had said something wrong and swallowed the second half of her words.

"I have asked the eunuchs who take care of Chengshun, and they said that Chengshun just eats and plays in Shoukang Palace."

[Wow, is this little fool really stupid?]

Xia Miaoyuan pouted.

"Yan Qing, we should pay more attention to Chengshun's words and deeds on weekdays. If the child has any knots in his heart, we can help him solve them." Xia Zhengqi said concernedly.

Dinner was eaten in casual chat, and Concubine Shu took her leave.

At night, in the inner room of Kunning Palace, Xia Zhengqi and the Queen changed into soft satin pajamas and lay side by side on the bed.

Xia Miaoyuan was carried by the nanny to her own bedroom to sleep.

Xia Miaoyuan rolled her eyes and expressed her dissatisfaction.

[What? You threw me out again! ]

[You said you came to see me and accompany me, but you just wanted to stick with mother. ]

[Humph! Hypocrisy, fake face! ]

After dismissing all the palace ladies, Xia Zhengqi asked in a low voice: "Ruoyu, tell me the truth, do you think Chengshun looks like me?"

"Hey, Your Majesty, when I saw you hitting Chengshun today, I guessed...you were imagining things again." The Queen held Xia Zhengqi's hand distressedly.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? When Chengshun was just born, you yourself said that Chengshun's eyes and eyebrows were like you carved from the same mold."

Xia Zhengqi looked worried: "Maybe it's a psychological effect? ​​Maybe it's my illusion?"

"My daughter said it herself that Jiang Qiqiu is infertile and Chengshun is not hers."

"If she didn't give birth to him, who gave birth to him?"

"After thinking about it, the biggest possibility is that they just found a baby from outside."

The queen murmured, "My daughter did say that."

"These days, every time it's late at night, I can't help but think of this."

"It hurts when I think about it that I let Jiang Qiqiu succeed because of my stupidity!"

"I'm sorry to the ancestors of the Xia family!" Xia Zhengqi became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes flushed.

The Queen leaned on Xia Zhengqi's arms, and gently supported Xia Zhengqi's violently heaving chest with her jade hands.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. We will quietly investigate Chengshun's background for the time being."

"We'll talk about it after we find out the result."

Xia Zhengqi closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. The room was silent.

Suddenly, Xia Zhengqi's eyes widened and he said happily: "Ruoyu, I have an idea!"

"Our daughter is a fairy who has descended to the earth and knows everything about the world. Since she knows that Chengshun is not Jiang Qiqiu's child, she must also know Chengshun's background."

"We deliberately mentioned Chengshun and Jiang Qiqiu in front of her, and she will be able to tell us what she is thinking."

The Queen's face was dark: "This... okay."

In the next few days, Xia Miaoyuan felt very confused.

In addition to taking her to court and reviewing memorials in Yu's study, Xia Zhengqi would hold her in Kunning Palace and chat with the empress whenever he had time.

And it was endless chatting.

They had endless things to talk about, but all they talked about was the Fifth Prince and Jiang Qiqiu.

Another afternoon, in Kunning Palace, Xia Miaoyuan was drowsy after finishing her feeding.

"Ruoyu, do you remember that Chengshun has a birthmark on his body?" Xia Zhengqi said, looking at Xia Miaoyuan.

"Remember, there is a nail -covered rouge birthmark on the neck of Chengshun, which is very special." The queen beaten her spirit. . [Daddy, are you okay?]

[
