NOVEL WEB Chapter 597 She is also the child's mother
It would have been fine if she didn't explain. Once she explained, Zhao Chengye's face became even uglier.
What's wrong with breastfeeding? He's her husband, so why can't he watch? They've done more intimate things, so what's this?
Did Xu Muhua do this on purpose?
He looked at her expressionlessly.
Xu Muhua remained unmoved.
Pei Shaorong was used to seeing the two of them doing this, so she fed the child calmly, dressed him, and then said softly, "Okay, stop arguing. I know you are all doing this for my own good. Your Majesty, why are you here?"
He had one expression when facing Xu Muhua and another expression when facing Pei Shaorong, as if he was changing faces!
The expression on Zhao Chengye's face softened instantly, and he strode to the bedside and sat down. He first looked her over, and seeing that she was in good spirits and her face had regained its rosy color, he felt relieved and paid attention to his son.
"I was worried, so I came to see if you were awake. How do you feel now?"
"I'm fine, I'm much better now. Have you seen our son? Do you want to hug him?" Pei Shaorong asked tentatively.
She knew that some emperors were particular and refused to hold their own children in their arms, and she also knew if he was the same.
Zhao Chengye hesitated: "But I can't."
The child looked too small, not much bigger than his palm, and seemed to have no bones. He had never held such a small child before, and was a little worried that his posture was wrong and he might hurt the child.
"If you don't know how, you can learn. It's very simple. I'll teach you." Pei Shaorong said as he handed the child to him.
Zhao Chengye did every move according to what she said, but his movements were very stiff, like a robot, which made Xu Muhua couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so nervous. Besides, the child is not that fragile. As long as you don't move too big or too roughly, it will not affect him." Not to mention that he is wrapped in a swaddle.
Perhaps not wanting to be looked down upon by Xu Muhua, Zhao Chengye adjusted his posture and became much more natural. The child had just finished drinking milk and was held by another person. He might have felt a little uncomfortable, so his face moved and his eyes, which were originally closed, actually opened a crack! The crack gradually widened and finally opened completely!
Judging from the outline, these eyes look very similar to Zhao Chengye's. The eyeballs are pure and clear, like gems.
Pei Shaorong was pleasantly surprised, "Oh, look, he opened his eyes!"
Zhao Chengye was also surprised and excited.
Xu Muhua also came up and praised: "Arong, look, his eyes are very beautiful, with black eyeballs!"
Black and big!
It is so clean and pure that it reminds people of the blue sky after the rain and the clear springs in the mountains.
Pei Shaorong also looked into the child's eyes and said, "Well, it looks good, like the emperor."
Xu Muhua couldn't help but curl his lips.
Zhao Chengye noticed it, but chose to turn a blind eye and said proudly: "Of course, this is the child of Arong and me. His eyes are like mine, but his mouth and nose are like Arong's!"
Xu Muhua perked up. It didn't matter. Zhao Chengye was the emperor, so he certainly didn't have much time to spend with the child. She and Arong would watch the child grow up, and the child would be very close to them. After spending more time together, maybe the child would have some of her shadow!
She is also the mother of the child!
If Zhao Chengye knew she was thinking this way, he would probably be so angry that he would laugh.
After all, the child is still young. After drinking, he opened his eyes for a while and then closed them again and began to sleep.
Seeing that the child was asleep, Zhao Chengye stopped holding him and gently placed him on the crib. He talked with Pei Shaorong for a while before getting up and leaving to attend to government affairs.
Zhao Chengye actually wanted to make the child the crown prince as soon as he was born, but was rejected by Pei Shaorong.
They had discussed this matter before. Pei Shaorong felt that since the child had just been born and nothing was certain or clear, it would be inappropriate to hastily appoint him as the crown prince. The crown prince was related to the country and the people, so he should be treated with great caution.
If you really want to make your eldest son the crown prince, you should wait until the child is a few years old before deciding.
Zhao Chengye thought about it and felt that it was a good idea, so that the ministers of the previous dynasty would not complain again.
However, he was the eldest son, which was of great significance. In addition, Zhao Chengye had just ascended the throne and had not yet issued a general amnesty. As soon as the eldest son was born, he used this as an excuse to issue a general amnesty.
When the child was one month old, it was finally time for the late emperor to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
After being quiet and honest for a while, the King Qin jumped out again and said that the late emperor was poisoned by the new emperor. He also led a group of people to rebel - of course, the King Qin did not admit that he was going to rebel, he thought he was correcting the chaos!
As for the death of the late emperor, everyone has actually accepted the facts and the truth. He was just unlucky enough to be stung by a poisonous scorpion. In addition, he was weak at the time and was already in a sick state. If he was poisoned again, he would be irreparable.
It's just that it's a bit embarrassing to tell others about this way of death. In order to maintain the reputation of the late emperor, they simply said that he died of illness, and did not reveal the truth to the people.
Unexpectedly, the new emperor's thoughtful behavior gave the loyal king an opportunity to make trouble.
Zhao Chengye was not stupid. He knew the king's intentions, but he was just blatant. So he had been prepared and was just waiting for an opportunity to deal with the king.
Otherwise, those ministers would not know what to say about him, saying that he couldn't wait to settle accounts with his brothers as soon as he ascended the throne.
Since King Qin brought his own death upon himself, you can't blame him for not caring about the brotherhood.
But in the end, the new emperor was merciful. King Qin was stripped of his title, demoted to a commoner, and sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, never to return to Beijing for the rest of his life!
As for his wife and daughter, they also followed him to guard the imperial tomb.
The remaining princes all became obedient. They didn't have much energy to begin with, and after the incident of serving the king, they had even less energy.
The new emperor has already ascended the throne, and he has been the crown prince for quite some time, so his foundation is solid. Unless they are absolutely sure, they will be courting death if they want to seize power and usurp the throne.
It's pretty good to be an idle prince. It's better to guard the imperial tomb and never be able to return to Beijing for the rest of your life, right?
You don’t need to experience it to know how hard the days of guarding the imperial mausoleum are!
When the late emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the funeral was truly over, and everyone's life began to return to normal.
The new emperor's harem was clean, so Queen Pei Shaorong naturally had nothing to do. She and Xu Muhua spent the whole day taking care of the growing child.
The child grew up quickly, and when he was a hundred days old, the little prince had become fair and tender, and extremely adorable!
Not only Xu Muhua, but even the old man and Tiger Boy were curious about this cub and liked him very much.
