Chapter 471 Chen Qing
Chapter 471 Chen Qing
"Your Majesty, when the little prince and the little princess are put together, they look like twins, a boy and a girl, to me."
Concubine Yan Yu Mu followed Qin Zhi, leaned over to look into the cradle, and reached out her hand to gently touch the little princess's face.
"The mother of the little prince and the little princess is a blood relative, so it's not surprising that they look alike. They are half-siblings born on the same day of the same month of the same year. It's really fate. However, Concubine Ma took good care of this baby. The little princess doesn't look like she was born prematurely at all."
Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi said slowly.
"Speaking of which, the Second Princess and the Fifth Prince were born on the same day of the same month of the same year. When they were young, they would never give in to each other, but when they grew up, I never heard of any conflicts between them. They are siblings connected by blood, so there is no way they would hold grudges overnight."
Concubine Zhen Lu Xinyin brought the dangerous topic back to the topic as soon as she opened her mouth. While speaking, her eyes also swept towards the two sisters, Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue and Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe.
Seeing everyone's gazes on her, Lu Xinyin smiled back.
On the one hand, confusing the royal bloodline was not a speculation that could be brought to the table; on the other hand, she also wanted to accept Miao Yueji's gratitude.
Although Miao Yueji is not here, there are many people who pass on messages.
Even if there is no gratitude, there is still human kindness.
Favors must be repaid one day.
Your Majesty and Shen Ningyue had no reaction to the fact that Miao Yueji's prematurely born princess looked like a full-term one. It was definitely not just because Miao Yueji only gave birth to a princess.
Although the princess did not damage the royal inheritance, there must be something wrong since His Majesty and Shen Ningyue did not care.
So...Lü Xinyin lowered his eyes, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
It turned out that Miao Yueji had an affair with His Majesty during the selection, and she was put together with Shunpin Shi Qingzhang and the eldest prince Qin Mingyu. I don't know whether to say it was luck or ability.
......
Qin Zhi gently pinched the chubby cheeks of the two children. He didn't care about the eye contact and verbal battles among the concubines. Instead, he was guessing about the clumsy behavior of Concubine Miao Yueji who allowed Miao Heqing to steal the daughter of the emperor.
Miao Heqing needs to avoid having too many witnesses for this move.
It would be impossible to kill all the witnesses one by one. There is no need to wait for the first person to get into trouble before there are already people who want to report Miao Heqing for child-swapping.
Qin Zhi picked up the little prince and held him in his arms. When he was about to cry, he pinched his mouth and stuffed the crying little prince into Zhang Deli's arms like throwing a hot potato.
The whole set of movements flows smoothly and the thoughts are not interrupted.
What exactly does Miao Yueji want to do by portraying herself as a victim?
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen has woken up, and the first thing she said when she opened her eyes was to ask to see Your Majesty."
"You stay here to look after the little prince and princess. I'm going to go see Concubine Meng."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
......
The eunuch pushed open door after door, and Qin Zhi walked slowly to Miao Yueji's bedside.
Her lips were pale and she seemed to be getting up from the bed, but her movements were extremely slow due to the lingering pain in her lower body.
Qin Zhi sat down beside the bed and gently pressed Miao Yueji down. "Why don't you lie down properly? What do you want to do that can't you ask the palace servants to do it?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you, and I also want to apologize to Your Majesty."
Concubine Miao Yueji frowned her willow-leaf brows, her eyes filled with tears. She looked at Qin Zhi pitifully and stammered.
"What are you guilty of?"
"My aunt has switched the prince's name with the princess's. Because of my selfish desires, I would like to ask Your Majesty to forgive my aunt and just treat the little prince as my aunt's son."
Qin Zhi looked at Miao Yueji with a smile.
"Don't regret it."
Miao Yueji's tears suddenly fell, she sat up suddenly, and her tears fell on the back of Qin Zhi's hand.
It was a chilly spring day, and the hot tears left my eyes and turned cold in an instant.
"How could I bear to do that? Your Majesty favored me during the selection. I pretended to have a premature birth, but the prince was born at full term. Anyone who has given birth to a child can tell."
"There has been no prince born in the palace for ten years. Will Your Majesty hide the prince away and not hold a third-day bath or a full-month celebration? But once it is held, the ladies outside the palace will also find out about my little prince..."
Miao Yueji was very emotional, and her voice was intermittent due to sobs.
"If it was a little princess, she wouldn't have such a big influence on you as the little prince. After all, there have been princesses in the palace for so many years. With the little prince here, it's normal that the little princess who was born on the same day as the little prince is not valued by your majesty."
Miao Yueji looked resentful.
"Do you blame Concubine Miao for stealing your little prince?"
"Of course I feel resentful, but she is my aunt after all. She only wants to give birth to a prince and rise in rank. She did something so unwise. I feel resentful and helpless, and I am deeply distressed."
"You wanted to give the little prince to her, and you exposed her to me and even pleaded for her. Although she was not convicted, her wish for a promotion was in vain. Everyone just thinks that the little prince is her own, and the little prince is under her lap. Aren't you afraid that she will mistreat the little prince?"
Miao Yueji seemed to be stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "Auntie..."
Qin Zhi smiled and nodded, raised his eyes darkly, and said, "Do you want to bring the little prince back to Lanlin Palace to raise him personally?"
