Chapter 102 Another Child
The palace maid lowered her head and dared not speak.
How dare they criticize their master? That would be a life-threatening thing.
The queen was talking to herself, and when no one responded, she felt very bored, as if she was the only one who was vicious.
So the queen became even angrier and swept everything on the table onto the floor.
Those precious tea sets were shattered to pieces on the ground.
"Since you are all dumb, go down."
The palace maids knelt down one after another and said, "Your Majesty, spare my life."
The nanny who came in saw this scene and waved her hand: "You can go down."
With the help of the nanny, the palace servants finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up, and retreated with their heads lowered.
The nanny stood behind the queen, raised her hand and pressed her temples: "Your Majesty, calm down. They are just three bastards. Why get angry?"
"Lest you get yourself hurt by being angry."
The queen was so angry that she had a headache, and now that her solar plexus was pressed, she felt a little better.
"They are just three bastards, three bastards with no blood relationship to the royal family."
The Queen said angrily, "Even though they are three bastards, the Emperor would rather love them than Lin'er."
"Lin'er is his own son, well-known for his virtue and both his literary and military skills."
"In what way are you inferior to those three bastards?"
What the queen wanted to say was, in what way was her son inferior to the impotent prince?
But she didn't dare to say such fatal words even if it was just her and her confidant.
The Queen had seen this before: once, a palace maid talked about the Crown Prince's impotence, and the Emperor found out.
How that person died.
It was such a tragic death.
Mammy said, "But no matter what, they are three bastards, not biological children."
"Because they are not his biological children, the emperor dotes on them to the extreme."
"No matter how favored they are, they can never be the crown prince, let alone inherit the throne."
Mammy's grip became a little stronger.
The queen felt a little pain from being pressed, and was about to have a fit when she heard the nanny say to her.
“And it’s a good thing, too.”
Queen: "Good news?"
This is not a good thing.
There is already a crown prince, and now there are three bastards to take away the emperor's favor.
This is not a good thing.
The nanny analyzed it for her: "Think about it, which emperor in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, has adopted a son?"
"Is it a child you raise or one you don't have any blood relationship with?"
At this moment, the Queen came back to her senses a little: "You mean?"
Of course, in history, there were emperors who were unable to have children, so they adopted a prince and raised him as the crown prince.
But those who were adopted were all royal relatives and direct descendants.
Unlike those three bastards who don’t even know who their father is!
The nanny nodded: "Yes, the emperor dotes on them. That is to train descendants for the crown prince. It is destined that the position of crown prince will be replaced sooner or later."
It is true that Lu Jiuyuan is impotent.
The three children are not Lu Jiuyuan’s biological children.
Lu Jiuyuan has no descendants in this life and can only rely on his adopted son.
Even if Emperor Shengzong doted on his three children and gave them the title of prince, it was already a favor from heaven.
The throne, that is absolutely impossible.
Emperor Shengzong always had to consider the interests of the world.
After the nanny's guidance, the queen immediately understood.
"It's me who's anxious."
The emperor loved his three children and just wanted to find someone to rely on for the prince.
The nanny smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, Your Majesty, and tell the prince not to act rashly. It would be better if we could show him that he respects his brother more."
"That position will always belong to the prince."
The queen felt better and her headache was gone.
"That's what I said, but seeing the emperor doting on three bastards like that, I feel uncomfortable."
Three bastards, why?
This is simply a tarnishing of the royal family's reputation.
The nanny advised her: "Your Majesty, please be at ease. This child is a bastard without a father, but what if the child has a father?"
"You have a father?" The queen looked at the nanny and nodded, understanding.
She said, "Let's wait and see. Now hurry up and make Consort Xian pregnant. Then have someone give her another bowl of fertility soup."
Although the three bastards were favored, they did not pose a big threat to her.
But as long as those three children grow up and have their own abilities, they will also be a threat.
To put it in a broader sense, they would think that they were part of the royal family and qualified to be emperor, and would compete with her sons and grandsons for the throne.
To put it simply, the emperor trained them and they became the prince's support in the future. That was like a thorn in his heart.
After her son became emperor, he was not able to sit on the throne securely.
Therefore, those three bastards must be dealt with as soon as possible.
With the emperor's favor, there is no need to kill him.
But what the nanny said is right, a child without a father is a bastard, and a child with a father, how could he be loved by other families?
This is a good idea that will not only save the child from death but also help him find his biological father.
The queen only needed to think about it. She had found a biological father for the three bastards, allowing them to trace their ancestral roots. That was simply a good thing she had done.
Bai Taotao and those three bastards should be grateful to her and thank her profusely.
It is also equivalent to getting rid of Lu Jiuyuan.
The queen immediately felt in a very good mood and had a bright future.
This time, the Queen relented and said to the maid, "I was a little impatient just now. Please give this Yuegong maid an extra portion of her monthly allowance."
"Your Majesty is kind."
The frightened palace maids knelt outside, thanked the queen, and said that the queen was kind.
Here, Bai Taotao and the other emperors finally got tired of playing with the cubs, and then they took them back to the East Palace.
Bai Taotao was holding Dabao and Erbao, while Lu Jiuyuan was holding Xiaobao who had fallen asleep.
After returning to the room, I woke up Xiaobao, gave him a bath, and then coaxed them to sleep again.
There was no doubt that the three cubs pulled Lu Jiuyuan and Bai Taotao to sleep together again.
Bai Taotao: ...
Lu Jiuyuan was good-tempered and just coaxed them: "Go to sleep, Daddy and Mommy are here."
Xiaobao was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, but he still asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
Lu Jiuyuan hummed: "If you don't leave, you can still see your father and mother when you wake up."
Xiaobao was finally satisfied. He kissed the back of Lu Jiuyuan's hand and fell asleep in seconds.
Dabao has been fast asleep for a long time and is even snoring. His belly, which is covered by a little bellyband, is bulging and looks very cute.
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
Lu Jiuyuan looked at Erbao who was lying in the middle with his big round eyes open.
He didn't seem to be sleepy at all.
The second baby looks the sickest, but he sleeps the least. As long as he wants, he will always be energetic.
Erbao blinked and said, "I have something else to say to Prince Daddy."
Seeing how serious he was, Lu Jiuyuan was a little afraid that he would say, "When will you let me inherit the throne as the crown prince?"
Just thinking about this, Lu Jiuyuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
However, seeing Erbao's expectant eyes, he nodded slightly: "Go ahead."
Bai Taotao thought about Erbao's ambition to become emperor and reminded him, "Erbao, don't say anything so treasonous."
Erbao nodded obediently, then looked at Lu Jiuyuan and said seriously, "Prince Daddy, please have another child with Mommy. I want two younger brothers."
Bai Taotao only felt the sound of thunder rumbling, and then it hit her with a bang.
Because Erbao’s mouth has been blessed, it will be effective.
Lu Jiuyuan grasped the key point: "Again?"
