"You remember you always bullied Xiaoman."
Jiang Xinyue held the third prince's little head with both hands, kneaded his face until it was deformed, faced his silly and cute eyes, and lectured him: "Xiaoman, like Xiaotuanzi, is your brother and yours." As a close relative, Madam Zhen hopes that no matter who you hear saying something bad about Xiaoman, you will stand up and speak for him as soon as possible. Because he, like you and Xiaotuanzi, are your father’s children. . You are the ones who should be the closest to each other, you know?"
The third prince seemed to have heard such words for the first time, and his big eyes were full of confusion: "But... Concubine Yu said that he is a bastard, and his mother is the lowest sin slave, and he is not worthy to be with us... "
"Who taught you to say such things?"
There was an angry sound, and Emperor Xuanwu threw the curtain in. His oppressive eyes stared at the third prince, scaring him so much that he burst into tears and went straight into Jiang Xinyue's arms.
The eldest princess and the second princess were so frightened that they dropped their chopsticks on the table and looked at Jiang Xinyue nervously, their eyes full of fear.
The fourth prince had never been cared about by his father, and naturally he had never been beaten severely, so he was not afraid. He even ran over and asked diligently: "Father, have you had breakfast? My mother and concubine have many good things here." I can give some of the food to my father."
Emperor Xuanwu picked up the fourth prince and said sternly to the third prince: "The fourth prince is my son just like you. If he is a bastard, who are you?"
He was plotted by the biological mother of the fourth prince, and it was one thing that he didn't like their mother and son, but if such a young child was instilled with this kind of thinking, the fight between the princes in the future would definitely be life-and-death.
He didn't want to see this happen.
The third prince was so frightened that he trembled in Jiang Xinyue's arms and did not even dare to cry.
"Why is the emperor so cruel?"
Jiang Xinyue hugged the third prince tightly and comforted her: "What do children know? They are just treating Xiaoman according to the attitude of adults. If the emperor is angry, he should go to Concubine Yu and Concubine De and ask them to avoid children when talking about people in the future. them."
We need to solve the problem at its root instead of yelling at children who don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
The emperor, who had been retorted, said with a smile on his face: "Aren't I just in a hurry, afraid that what he said will hurt Xiao Man?"
"The way to protect Xiaoman should not be at the expense of hurting the third prince."
Jiang Xinyue glared at him: "You will only make the Third Prince hate Xiao Man more and more."
After saying that, she ignored the emperor, patted the third prince on the back and said, "Our third prince is such a well-behaved, sensible, and caring child, he can definitely get along well with his brother, right?"
The third prince raised his eyes that were red from crying from her arms and nodded hesitantly: "Ms. Zhen, I was wrong. I shouldn't bully Xiao Man."
Jiang Xinyue nodded: "Empress Zhen knows that the third prince definitely didn't mean it, so are you willing to apologize to Xiao Man? I believe Xiao Man also wants to be good friends with your brother."
The third prince sniffed. Although he was still a little reluctant, the hostility towards the fourth prince in his eyes was much less.
Children at this age have the strongest self-esteem. Because they had to apologize, they were a little embarrassed. They blushed and said, "Brother Xiaoman, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that to you. I will definitely not do this again in the future. Can you please forgive me?" good?"
The fourth prince also smiled shyly: "Then we will be good friends from now on, right?"
The third prince nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
The eldest princess sighed, feeling that her mother-in-law lost to Empress Zhen, so she should be convinced.
Just a few words from him made his father lose his temper, and he even taught his angry father to be obedient.
No empress in the entire palace has this ability.
Like a tamer who has tamed a ferocious beast, Empress Zhen is particularly difficult to mess with because she has tamed such a ferocious beast as her father.
Ruan was even more stunned.
She knew that her daughter was favored, even more than the former Concubine Li.
But she didn't know that being favored could no longer be used to describe her daughter.
This is not something that can be described as being favored. Dare to speak like this to the emperor, and the emperor is not angry at all and seems to enjoy it. This is simply treating her sister Yue as an ancestor.
Scared someone to death!
In the next month, the emperor stayed in Hexi Palace almost every day. After experiencing the sixth prince's night noises, flatulence, and being unable to stand, the emperor became more and more inseparable from... the sixth prince.
Early this morning, he quietly asked Wang Dequan: "Do you think I secretly brought the Sixth Prince to court, will it be discovered?"
He is now able to wash the Sixth Prince's butt and change diapers skillfully. It is no exaggeration to say that if he could feed the Sixth Prince like a wet nurse, he would not leave the child to anyone else.
He can take care of it all by himself.
It's just a bit boring.
Yue'er likes to sleep with her children at night, saying that children who sleep with their biological parents will feel more secure, will be more emotionally stable when they grow up, and will be good at expressing their feelings.
Therefore, if Emperor Xuanwu wants to sleep with Jiang Xinyue, there must be a sixth prince between them.
Every hour, Xiaotuanzi needs to drink milk and change diapers.
Jiang Xinyue did it all by herself at first, but within two days, her back and legs hurt again, and she almost fainted due to lack of sleep during the day.
The emperor felt distressed and had no choice but to take over this important task. He was mainly afraid that calling someone once an hour would disturb Jiang Xinyue from sleeping, so he could only get up and do these things quietly by himself.
In just one month, the fat gained by eating confinement meals with Jiang Xinyue was quickly reduced.
But he had no complaints. If he didn't see the Sixth Prince for a day, he would feel panicked.
Jiang Xinyue analyzed this from a psychological perspective and called this "paternal attachment."
As we all know, father's love and mother's love are the most selfless, unrequited and great love in the world.
Jiang Xinyue kept Emperor Xuanwu in Hexi Palace this month just so that he could do everything about the Sixth Prince himself.
When he was good at things including but not limited to changing diapers and putting him to sleep, she asked Aunt Xiang and Magpie to hug the sixth prince deliberately clumsily.
In this way, the emperor will feel that he has taken care of his son well, but no one else can take care of him well, and he is the only one who can take care of him best.
He will not tolerate others touching his children, and feels that no one can take care of his children as well as he himself.
He devoted all his energy to the sixth prince. Apart from what the emperor should do, how could he have any other thoughts to do other things?
Are the concubines in the harem complaining?
That wouldn't reach his ears, so he went to the queen to complain.
