Chapter 23 The Little One is Conferred
Just as Li Zongguan was about to answer, Emperor Shengzong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there's no rush. I'll wait a little longer, lest I get too caught up in the situation and beat the Crown Prince up."
This storybook tells the story of a prince of a fictional dynasty and a palace maid.
The maiden loved the prince deeply, but because of her humble status, she dared not express it.
Once, the prince was accidentally poisoned by a fairy, and the palace maid risked her life to save him, but ended up being replaced by a beautiful girl.
Then the prince praised this beautiful girl to the sky, and abused the palace maid so much that her fetus was almost lost.
In the end, the maid became disheartened and left the Eastern Palace by faking her own death, and gave birth to the prince's child.
Then five years later, the maid returned with the child and met the prince again...
In short, the various heart-wrenching and physically abusive plots that tortured Emperor Shengzong made him unable to stop.
It was also because of this story that Emperor Shengzong thought of his own crown prince Lu Jiuyuan. The plot was so similar.
Therefore, there was an imperial decree granting the marriage.
Emperor Shengzong read the end of the storybook, in which the prince wanted to give the palace maid and her child to a prince as a reward.
The palace maid was hesitating whether to tell the truth.
Stuck here, Emperor Shengzong really wanted to pull the prince out of the book and give him a good beating.
Then he would find the screenwriter of the storybook, lock him up in the palace, and force him to write storybooks day and night, otherwise he would be killed.
Emperor Shengzong put the notebook away and told Li Zongguan: "There is no need to pay too much attention to the affairs of the Eastern Palace. If the Crown Prince wants to protect them, he will naturally come to me for help."
…
East Palace.
Bai Taotao and her three children had just sat down for a while when they heard that Lu Jiuyuan had returned.
Moreover, he brought back the imperial edict and went out to receive it.
Lu Jiuyuan looked at Bai Taotao and the three cute little kids and said in a deep voice, "The Emperor has issued an order. The Crown Princess and her mother and children are exempt from kneeling to hear the order."
Bai Taotao was about to kneel down with her baby to listen to the decree, but she was very happy to hear this: "Thank you, Father."
Lu Jiuyuan spread out the imperial edict and began to read it.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Dabao, Erbao, and Xiaobao are all incredibly intelligent, clever, and lovable, and have won my heart. Dabao is hereby granted the titles of Prince Wu, Erbao Prince Wen, and Xiaobao Princess Pingle..."
This time, the emperor not only conferred them titles, but also gave them rewards and a small fiefdom.
Bai Taotao received the imperial edict, looked up at Lu Jiuyuan, and asked with a smile, "Your Highness is in a hurry to come to the palace to ask for titles for Dabao and the others."
Lu Jiuyuan said with a sullen face, "My father bestowed the title upon me himself. It has nothing to do with me."
I must never let that damn woman Bai Taotao know that it was he who took the initiative to ask for the title of emperor.
Otherwise, with her attitude, who knows how many shameless words she would say to embarrass and annoy him!
Bai Taotao curved her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile: "Your Highness forgot that I and you have a spiritual connection, so..."
Lu Jiuyuan shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up!"
This damn woman is going to say those shameless words again!
Bai Taotao is not someone who can keep her mouth shut.
She smiled shyly at Lu Jiuyuan, "Your Highness, if you treat this child like your own, I will definitely pledge my love to you and bear you many, many children."
Lu Jiuyuan's face darkened, and the tips of his ears turned redder: "Shut up!"
Dabao looked up and asked Bai Taotao: "Mother, what does it mean that we are now conferred the title of Duke of a County? It also sounds very majestic and delicious."
It would be even better if it was General Wu.
But this was the decree requested by His Highness's father, and he was very satisfied.
My mother said that people should be content with what they have.
Erbao: "Does being a prince mean that the Emperor also recognizes us as His Highness's father's children?"
In this way, he can become the crown prince and the emperor more legitimately, right?
Xiaobao looked up and blinked his big eyes at Lu Jiuyuan.
Bai Taotao didn't explain to them, and just like Xiaobao, she looked at Lu Jiuyuan eagerly, waiting for his explanation.
Lu Jiuyuan coughed and said in a deep voice, "Being named a prince means that you will be royal descendants from now on. You can enter the royal jade disc and follow..."
solitary.
When the word reached his lips, it felt like it was burning, forcing Lu Jiuyuan to change his words in time.
"You can then have the same surname as your royal grandfather, Lu."
Dabao let out a long sigh: "Does that mean there are lots and lots of delicious food?"
Erbao: "What your father really wants to say is, can we take your father's last name?"
Lu Jiuyuan glared at Erbao with a stern face, and said in what he thought was a very fierce tone: "No, don't presume to guess what I mean, or I will spank you!"
Erbao was not afraid of him. He stepped forward on tiptoe and kissed Lu Jiuyuan on the left cheek: "Erbao likes His Highness Daddy."
Dabao also came forward and kissed him on the right cheek: "Dabao likes His Highness Daddy too."
Xiaobao climbed into Lu Jiuyuan's arms, held his face with her milky little hands, and kissed him on the forehead to express her love.
Lu Jiuyuan wanted to reach out and push them apart, but all he touched were little, chubby bodies.
Dabao is very fat, a little chubby boy, but he feels very good to the touch. When I touch him, I want to hug him and pinch him in all kinds of ways.
Erbao was so thin, and although he was a bit fleshy, Lu Jiuyuan was reluctant to use any force when he really grabbed his arm.
Not to mention Xiaobao, just by looking at him, Lu Jiuyuan felt that his cold heart was completely overflowing with fatherly love.
Bai Taotao watched them all clinging to Lu Jiuyuan, feeling happier and more joyful than ever before.
Sure enough, there are some happiness that mothers cannot give.
Bai Taotao said to Lu Jiuyuan, "Your Highness, I'm going to be busy. Please take care of the three children for a while."
Lu Jiuyuan: "I..."
Bai Taotao didn't give him a chance to refuse: "I knew Your Highness would agree. I love you."
After saying that, she quickly moved over and kissed Lu Jiuyuan on the forehead. Lu Jiuyuan was stunned on the spot, and felt that his forehead was soft, like being kissed by cotton candy, with a faint fragrance.
I don’t know if this fragrance comes from the little baby in my arms or from Bai Taotao.
After a moment of confusion, Lu Jiuyuan roared, "Bai Taotao!"
This shameless woman actually molested him in broad daylight!
Dabao pulled Erbao aside and whispered, "Your Highness, your father's face is so red, like an apple. It makes me hungry just looking at it."
Erbao nodded: "I thought it was because my mother was so delicate and soft that she could be easily pushed over, but it turns out that your highness's father is the same."
Xiaobao wrote quickly on the small board: Your Highness and Daddy, don’t be shy, Mommy will kiss you more and you will get used to it.
Lu Jiuyuan: ...
Look, this is the child taught by that dead woman Bai Taotao!
They are all going to be taught badly!
Lu Jiuyuan looked at the three little ones seriously and said, "Xiao Xizi, let Mammy take them out to play. I don't have time!"
Why would he take care of the child? He wouldn’t even take care of his own child, let alone one that’s not his!
I would rather die than bring it!
If anyone dares to let him take them, he will strangle them to death!
Eunuch Xi pretended to be dead and didn't move.
Under the pitiful eyes of the three little ones, Lu Jiuyuan held his forehead and said, "Xiao Xizi, go ask the nanny how to take care of the children."
