One hundred twenty I saw that sow in the pigpen is quite suitable for you

  "Your Highness, the young mistress must be hungry. Until now, neither of the two young princes nor the young mistress has eaten yet. They must be starving. Old Lady Gong smiled kindly and gestured to the two midwives to come over and pick up the two precious little princes who were crying with their eyes closed on the small bed."

  He raised an eyebrow, seemingly disbelieving, and took another look at the two sons who had followed him without even opening their eyes. However, the little girl in his arms wailed even louder, and he twitched at the corners of his eyes. Although he was reluctant to part with the soft little girl in his arms, he was worried about disturbing the woman on the bed who had not yet awakened, so he handed the little girl over to Nurse Gong.

  Gong's mother carefully carried the swaddled baby over and then followed the midwife out of the room.

  The mansion had already arranged for a wet nurse, so there was no need for Bai Xiner to breastfeed personally, let alone three at once. Yan Moyu had prepared all this when he knew it wasn't just one child.

  As for the children's affairs in the future, he would not let his woman worry about it. With so many people in the mansion, why did she need to do it herself?

  Waiting for the room to quiet down, he walked towards the bedside, took off his boots and lay on the outside of the bed, propping up his head with his eyes deeply gazing at the woman who had not yet woken up. Thinking of something, he curled up the corners of his lips, staring at the woman's eyes which were deep and focused. The usually cold and handsome face was unspeakably gentle and affectionate at this moment.

  He raised his hand, and with the back of his fingers, he stroked her pale and weak little face, feeling the coolness emanating from her skin. His thick eyebrows furrowed slightly as he involuntarily leaned in to gently hold her in his arms, then tucked the quilt tightly around her.

  It wasn't clear how much time had passed when the woman in his arms slowly came back to consciousness.

  Before she even opened her eyes, Bai Xincheng felt the familiar warmth beside her, warm and cozy, making her involuntarily snuggle into his arms. But in the next instant, she suddenly opened her eyes, as if she had just come back to herself, and asked somewhat nervously:

  "Mo Yu, where's the kid?" She remembered there were... three of them.

  Just thinking about it makes her want to blush all over again.

  Yan Mo had been watching her with downcast eyes, seeing her tension, and couldn't help but curve his lips into a gentle smile: "The children are all safe and sound, Gong Nian brought them to eat."

  He gently brushed away a strand of hair from her face and caressed the edge of her ear, asking softly, "How do you feel now? Does it still hurt?"

  Bai Xin blinked and seriously felt for a moment, then shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it just feels empty in my stomach."

  Doesn't it feel like you just had a bowel movement?

  Upon hearing this, Mo Ran let out a gentle laugh. Under his lightly raised eyebrows, his dark eyes sparkled like stars, shining brightly, and the corners of his mouth curved up in a charming and captivating arc. Every inch of his handsome face was filled with a smile, especially his two rows of neat white teeth, which gleamed dazzlingly, each one telling others how joyful he felt at this moment.

  Seeing him like this, Bai Xin was almost stunned. This man wasn't someone who never smiled, it's just that this time his smile was filled with warmth and gentleness, making the cold aura around him disappear completely, enveloping her like a big boy who could warm people's hearts.

  She knew he was thrilled, and proud, having gotten three children all at once. Not just him, but she too felt an inexplicable sense of comfort, a comfort that couldn't be put into words. Moreover, this man had been tense for ten months, no, it should be said that from the moment he wanted children, this man had never relaxed his mood.

  Now he can smile so easily and happily, without saying anything else, she thinks that all the sins she has suffered are worth it.

  She gently pushed him and raised her eyebrows: "I haven't even seen them yet, hurry up and have someone bring them all over for me to take a look." Just thinking about the three of them made her heart excited.

  "It's not urgent." Yan Mo took her hand in his and shook his head with a gentle smile, "You rest first, it won't be too late to see them later." She had just woken up and was still weak all over, the scene of those three yelling together was too noisy, he was really worried that she couldn't take it.

  Bai Xin is anxious and can't wait to see her child whom she has given birth to after much hardship.

  After learning from Yan Mo's mouth that it was two sons and one daughter, she became even more anxious.

  "Hurry up and bring him over, I won't be able to rest until I take a look. My heart is all tangled up." She pleaded with a scrunched up face.

  There was no way, so I had to give in to her wishes. But before leaving, I greedily kissed her for a long time.

  Every child has a wet nurse. When Gong Yiyi appeared in front of Bai Xinyan with three wet nurses, she was still shocked by the grand scene.

  Three children stood in a row beside her, and looking at three little pink faces, she was so excited that she almost screamed.

  It's really hard to describe the feelings of having both sons and daughters in just a few words.

  She reached out and stroked one's face, another's hand, and yet another's little foot, gazing at the peaceful and lovely sleeping faces of the children. Her eyes suddenly turned red, her nose felt sour, and she was on the verge of tears.

  She thought it was heaven's pity that she was too lonely in her previous life, so this life gave her three treasures at once.

  Three babies, from the facial features, are easy to identify. The eldest looks like him, and the second and third look like her. They sleep soundly with their eyes closed, looking adorable and sweet, despite it being winter now, but because of the hot weather in Sichuan all year round, they are not wrapped up very tightly, a pair of small hands outside the quilt, clenched into small fists, looking both cute and funny.

  Seeing the moisture in her eyes, feeling that she was somewhat emotionally agitated, Yan Mo gave a slight frown and cast a glance at Gong Yiniang: "Gong Yiniang, take them down first."

  Afraid of hurting her feelings, he turned his head to look at her who was almost in tears with joy on the bed, and said softly: "You just gave birth, now is the time to nourish your body, don't overexert yourself. When you've recovered, there will be plenty of time to accompany them later."

  Bai Xin nodded his head in understanding, knowing that he was worried about him, and accepted his arrangement.

  She actually felt that her own body was a bit weak, because she wanted to see the children so much, so she insisted on holding on. If she wasn't too weak and powerless, she would have hugged them one by one now. Now she doesn't dare to hug them, afraid that her hands will be soft and hurt them.

  Newborn babies are sleepy by nature, except for the youngest daughter who was seen awake twice before, the other two sons basically didn't wake up at all.

  But the three quiet and peaceful appearances were indeed very likable, if not for considering Bai Xinzhu's physical condition, he would have really moved his heart to keep the three children.

  Bai Xinzhi was born at dawn, and when the news of the birth was reported to the palace, Xia Gao was still sitting in the Golden Hall discussing state affairs with the other officials. When the good news from the Crown Prince's residence arrived, it immediately shocked all the civil and military officials in the court.

  After the good news of the birth of a child in the Imperial Palace, the royal family has once again welcomed new additions, and this time it's triplets! How can one not be thrilled and excited?

  Xia Gao was so excited on the dragon chair that he almost lost his dignity, with a joyful expression that couldn't be hidden, although Zhang Yang had secretly told him earlier that Princess Wang's belly had more than one imperial grandson, but now there were three at once, which was even more unexpected and surprising than expected.

  The originally solemn and dignified great hall was filled with congratulatory cheers for a time.

  In the midst of the hall, the only person who was gloomy and silent was a certain man standing at the forefront of the group of ministers.

  After withdrawing from court, Xia Gao hastily rushed to the imperial study, busy with matters concerning his grandson Zhenming.

  Many officials also returned home one after another, busy preparing gifts and going to the palace to congratulate the king.

  Xia Lixuan returned to his own mansion, his face gloomy the whole time, exuding an aura that screamed 'I'm not happy'.

  In the bedroom, Liu Xue Lan was playing with her son on the bed, while the nanny stood quietly beside them.

  Seeing the man's gloomy face, from head to toe, looking as if he had been defeated, Liu Xue asked: "What's wrong with you? Who made you so upset?"

  Xia Lixun's face was cold as he waved his hand at the wet nurse, who hastily bowed and retreated, taking the child in Liu Xuelan's arms with her.

  Looking at his cold and smelly face, Liu Xue asked again: "Who owes you money or not? You were fine when you went out this morning, but now you're making these faces. Are you doing it on purpose?"

  Knowing she had misunderstood herself, Xia Lixuan sat down beside her with a cold face, let out a cold hum and gritted his teeth saying: "That woman, the Crown Princess, actually gave birth to three at once!"

  After finishing, he glanced at Liu Xue Lan's belly with a slanted eye, and the black air rolling in his eyes didn't know whether it was blaming Liu Xue Lan for having too few children or resenting a certain woman for having too many.

  Liu Xue Lan didn't notice his meaningful gaze at all, but instead excitedly hugged his arm, looking up with surprise and asking: "Is it true? Did Xin Ran really give birth to triplets?"

  Before the man could respond, she suddenly burst out laughing: "I knew it, I knew she was having more than one, I saw it coming a long time ago... didn't expect her to have triplets though..."

  The smile in her eyes was a genuine expression of joy and happiness.

  This smile made a certain man's cold face look even more unpleasant.

  She cast a sideways glance at Liu Xue Lan and said in a gloomy tone: "You can still laugh?"

  Liu Xuelan's smile suddenly froze on her face: "What do you mean?"

  "Others have three at once, and you still have the nerve to smile?"

  "Xia's family!" As soon as she heard this, Liu Xue Lan suddenly became furious, her eyes widened, and a hint of anger appeared on her face. "What if someone else has three children? That's their business! What, are you dissatisfied with the number of children I have? If you're not satisfied, then don't let me give birth at all! You have the nerve to find someone who can give you many children at once? I think the sow in the pigpen is quite suitable for your requirements. Why don't you go sleep with the sow?"

  It's really hateful! How can this man be like this?

  He worked hard to give birth to children for him, but he turned around and still wanted to despise them. Is he human?

  At this thought, her big eyes suddenly turned red, and tears flowed out instantly. She lifted the quilt, barefoot, and was about to get out of bed.

  "Who allowed you to get out of bed?" Just as he discovered that something was amiss, Xia Lixun suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged the woman who was about to touch the ground with her feet, directly pulling her onto himself.

  Liu Xuelan bit her teeth and shed silent tears, being held by him almost without thinking about it, she was ready to take action with him.

  Xia Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly wrapped his arms around her two hands, flipping his body over in an instant, pinning her to the bed.

  Perhaps knowing he had misspoken, he suddenly softened his tone and said: "I was just talking, look at you getting angry over nothing?"

  Liu Xue Lan was so angry she wanted to grit her teeth and bite him. "Just talking? Then do I need to take a copper mirror for you to take a look, see what kind of face you're making?" Clearly he was the one who spoke hurtful words, yet in the end he still managed to shift the blame onto her, saying she got angry at the drop of a hat. Could he be any more despicable?

  "Alright, alright, I take it back. Don't get angry so easily, don't you know that you can't run around wildly now? If you keep making a fuss, I'll deal with you." The man said in a coaxing and threatening tone. In the end, he secretly observed the woman's expression, opening his mouth several times before finally continuing, "Others have many children, but I only have one son. Don't you think that's too few? Anyway, I don't care, you have to keep giving birth for me. In the future, my son will definitely have more than the Cheng Wang Fu!"

  "......?!" Liu Xuelan was amused. She was amused by anger! Tears were still flowing, and she bit her teeth and turned her head to ignore him.

  This man's madness has relapsed again, and he even calculates such trivial matters; what is this if it isn't madness?

  Seeing this, Xia Lihuan's eyes suddenly deepened and she stopped talking. Following her turning her head to see that she was still crying, he hurriedly wiped away her tears with a somewhat flustered hand.

  "Alright, alright, you don't have to get angry, I was just joking around, what's the big deal? It's not like I was serious." He suddenly spoke in a good temper, even his gesture of wiping away her tears became much gentler, looking as if he was truly remorseful.

  In a place where Liu Xue Lan couldn't see, the man's mouth hooked up with a cold intent.

  "Hmph! It's just three, what's the big deal?"

  In the future, he must let this woman give birth to thirty for him, making that family envy and die of jealousy!

  He thought it was better not to discuss this matter with that dead woman, discussing it back and forth would bring no benefits. What's the point of talking to her about this? It's all because he was too impatient and foolish.

  Anyway, as long as this woman's body recovers, he will only work hard and as long as he has planted the seed, he doesn't believe she won't give birth!

  This woman was slept with by him once and got pregnant, it seems that she is fertile, according to this calculation, even if one time one child, giving birth to ten or eight children won't take long...

  Liu Xuelan was the kind of person who got angry quickly and calmed down just as fast. Since he seemed to have a bit of sincerity, she didn't bother with him anymore. However, she still had no idea about the utterly shameless thoughts in that man's mind. If she knew, she probably wouldn't be able to calm down at all right now, and who knows, she might even demolish this entire estate...

  ……

  Seven days later, Xia Gaoli really couldn't bear the pain of Si Sun, and hastily brought his own imperial grandsons into the palace. The young son of the Feng De Wang family also entered the palace together, to pay respects to this imperial grandfather.

  Looking at the four grandchildren lined up, Xia Gaolong's face was filled with joy that could not be suppressed. He was so happy that he hugged one and then another, and for a while, the entire imperial study was filled with his thick and pleasant laughter. These grandsons and granddaughters were all what he had been eagerly waiting for. And suddenly there were three imperial grandsons, how could this not make him delighted?

  Even Dequan was busy following Grandma's example in learning how to serve the few little ancestors in front of her.

  In the study, a dragon bed was placed in a very discordant manner. On the bed, four little guys were relatively quiet and well-behaved, not one crying or making a fuss. Moreover, each of them had their eyes wide open, looking around here and there, which made them look extremely adorable.

  Everyone has their own preferences, and as the ruler of a country, he is even more open about his biases. Among his four grandchildren, if you ask Xia Gao who he likes the most, he will undoubtedly say without hesitation that it is the eldest son of Cheng Wang Fu's family.

  It's just that the one who has been favored by the Emperor is the eldest grandson of the Wang family, and he can't help but like him even if he doesn't want to. These two little guys have also inherited their father's looks, and they are very much to his liking.

  Looking at another pair of siblings, he still had some bias in his heart. Fortunately, they were all his own grandchildren and such rare twins, so his unbalanced mentality was slightly balanced.

  On the side, Yan Mo Yu and Xia Li Xuan were also present, watching Xia Gao happily tease the child. Yan Mo Yu didn't have much reaction, but Xia Li Xuan had a gloomy face all along.

  I don't know what Xia Gao did wrong, but he provoked the smallest of the four little guys. Suddenly, a loud "ah" echoed through the study, startling everyone. Just a moment ago, everything was fine, and no one had provoked this little guy at all.

  She let out a loud wail, and the other brother next to her immediately turned his head, kicked his little legs and suddenly started wailing "ah ah" too.

  Xia Gaohuai was still holding the eldest of the triplets, who had been fine until suddenly opening his toothless mouth and letting out a loud "ahh".

  "......?!" The sudden loud cry made Xia Gao somewhat at a loss, staring at this and that, but couldn't find anything out of place.

  His mouth twitched at the corner. In these few days, he had already seen this situation for more than once. He didn't know why, but every time it was the youngest who cried first. She would cry alone, but as soon as she started crying, the other two sons would definitely follow suit.

  In such a situation, he really had no way to explain it to others. How could he tell others that this was an unspoken understanding between the three siblings?

  He let out a sigh and walked over to the dragon bed, picking up his own little daughter. With one arm holding her close, he gently patted her bottom with the other hand. The little girl, who had been crying for no reason, suddenly stopped wailing. Instead, she puckered up her small mouth and sniffled, rubbing her head against his chest.

  "Take them down and have the wet nurse feed them." It was obvious that their own precious little darlings were hungry, so Yan Mo turned around and instructed several of the waiting maids.

  Xia Gao was reluctant to part with it, but worried that his little grandson would go hungry, so he had no choice but to hand over the baby in his arms.

  Watching even his own son being taken away, Xia Lixuan furrowed his brow and stood up to follow the several imperial nursemaids out of the imperial study.

  Suddenly, there were only two father and son and Dequan left in the study room.

  Xia Gao sat back down on the dragon throne, a lingering smile of joy still on his face.

  "Your Majesty, I have something to report." Suddenly, he walked up to the dragon case and bowed his hands.

  Looking at his son's serious face, Xia Gaolong raised an eyebrow: "Imperial Son, what is it that you want to say, just speak directly."

  Yan Mo raised his head, his voice slightly low: "Father Emperor, although I am your biological son, the world knows that I am the adopted son of Bei Yuan Wang. So before the child was born, I had thought about it and decided to adopt the eldest son into the Yan family to repay the kindness that Bei Yuan Wang showed us mother and child back then."

  "Who?!" Upon hearing this, Xia Gao was shocked beyond measure. Having just sat down on the dragon throne, he suddenly sprang to his feet, his benevolent smile transforming in an instant into a countenance of iron-like complexion, as if he dared not believe it, and asked in a low voice, "Say that again?"

  "The son wants to adopt the eldest son to the Yan family, has reported the kindness and virtue of the North Yuan Wang, let the Yan family have someone to inherit later." Yan Mo looked at him with a thin layer of anger on his face, without blinking an eye, speaking exceptionally firmly.

  "We don't allow it!" Xia Gao slammed his hand on the table, his face filled with rage. In the past, Bei Yuan Wang had taken advantage of the situation and snatched away his Rong Er, and even took his son, who still hadn't changed back to their original surname until now. And now, he was actually being told that he had to give his beloved grandson to Bei Yuan Wang as a grandson?!

  What's going on?!

  If it weren't for Beiyuan Wang's early death, who knows how he would be settling accounts with him now. Still wanting his imperial grandson is simply a pipe dream!

  Everyone is dead, yet they still come to rob him, and every time they rob his most precious things!

  She lowered her eyelids and withdrew her gaze, also ignoring his low growl.

  Xia Gao was furious, and it wasn't just a little bit of anger, but rather a deep-seated rage. The fact that his wife and children had previously been under another man's name was already enough to make him suffer, and even after more than 20 years had passed, he still couldn't let go. Although he knew they were fake spouses, the fact that Bei Yuan Wang had taken over his wife and children in name only was an undeniable reality. What made it worse was that this reality was something he had brought upon himself, and as he hated himself, he also extended that hatred to Bei Yuan Wang.

  Now he still wants to give him an imperial grandson, no matter how he thinks, he can't swallow this breath.

  "That is my imperial grandson, don't even mention adopting him as the eldest son, it's not possible even if he were to be adopted as the second son! They are the descendants of my Xia clan and can only bear the surname Xia! I can grant you any request, but this time, there's no room for discussion!" He said with a cold face, gritting his teeth almost word by word.

  He pressed his thin lips together, raised his head and looked calmly at the person above who was so angry that smoke was about to come out of their head: "Your Majesty, I didn't come today to discuss with you, but this matter has already been decided by me and my wife. I'm just here to tell you."

  "You!" Xia Gao almost spat blood, staring at Long Yan with anger and unable to say a word.

  It's always like this, whenever he has any dissatisfaction in his heart, he will even disown me as his father!

  "My surname is Yan, and I am the seventh-generation legitimate son of the Yan family. I received the emperor's favor and inherited my father's title as King of Beiyuan. Your Majesty, these are the imperial edicts you personally issued back then; surely you haven't forgotten? Since Your Majesty has acknowledged that I am a true descendant of the Yan family, now I have only adopted one son to continue the Yan family line. Is there anything wrong with this? If we follow what was said in the imperial edict back then, my three sons and daughters should all be legitimate grandchildren of the Yan family. Does Your Majesty think what I say makes sense?"

  "What nonsense!" Xia Gao's face turned iron-green, his majestic and upright body trembling with rage, looking particularly intimidating. But facing Yan Mo Yu's words, he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

  At that time, he was momentarily foolish and believed Qiu Shuiyan's words, letting his son continue to stay in the Yan family. In order for his son not to suffer, after Bei Yuanwang was changed to Cheng Wang, he also let his son continue as the king of Cheng. He was very clear that all of this was caused by himself.

  So his son still resents him to this day, resenting that he didn't acknowledge his identity back then. To this day, he still bears the surname of his stepfather and is unwilling to change it back.

  Now he is unwilling to admit that his surname is Xia, and he also wants to abduct his beloved grandson to the Yan family...

  How can he accept such a thing?

  Suddenly, Xia Gao felt a blank in his mind and his body shook inexplicably.

  "Your Majesty!" Dequan rushed out and hurriedly supported him.

  "Father!" Yan Mo's heart was shocked, and at the same time, he rushed over to support his other arm.

  "Get out!" Xia Gao suddenly bellowed, and with a push, he sent his son stumbling backward. Pointing at the study door, his face iron-hard, he thundered, "Leave me! I don't want to see you again! I have no such unfilial son as you!"

  Lowering his eyelids, he hid the flash of pain in his eyes with a calm expression. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out obediently.

  "......?!" Dequan's heart was racing with anxiety. He opened his mouth to call out, but when he saw Xia Gao's face, he suddenly didn't dare make a sound again.

  He was very clear that the emperor was angry and ashamed. After so many years, what the emperor was thinking about, he knew better than anyone else.

  The emperor has hatred in his heart, but he has never hated Beiyuan Wang and Yun Zhuangzi. Otherwise, he would not have put the two of them together in the stone cave of Luyun Mountain. Because the emperor knows better than anyone that it was he himself who pushed away the woman he loved back then, he is powerless to blame anyone else. Even if Yun Zhuangzi eventually married Beiyuan Wang, the emperor has never hated her. Otherwise, why would the emperor have been so fond of Cheng Wang all these years?

  All these years, the emperor has only hated one person - himself. Now that Cheng Wang is exposing the emperor's deepest wounds in front of him, can he not be angry?

  Supporting Xia Gao to sit down, Dequan comforted him carefully while helping him catch his breath: "Your Majesty, calm down, you can't get angry and hurt yourself."

  "Summer is full of fire in his eyes: 'How can I not be angry?' He raised his hand and pointed at the door of the study, 'Look, he's deliberately trying to anger me! I was wrong back then, but so many years have passed, am I still owing him? Now he actually wants to give my imperial grandson away, how can I calm down?"

  Dequan furrowed his brow, and his sharp eyes rolled around before he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you also know that the Crown Prince has always disliked being controlled by others. In my humble opinion, it's not worth getting so angry with the Crown Prince over this matter."

  Xia Gao glared at him and said angrily: "If we don't argue with him, are we going to let him give away all of my imperial grandsons?"

  Dequan shook his head and hastily replied, "Your Majesty, please forgive your servant for speaking out of turn. In my humble opinion, if you want to make the Crown Prince give up his intention to adopt an heir, this matter still requires the help of the Crown Princess."

  Xia Gao furrowed her brow: "The Empress Dowager's decree?"

  Dequan nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, you are not unaware that the most important thing to Cheng Wang is Cheng Wangfei. In my humble opinion, as long as we let Cheng Wangfei persuade Cheng Wang, I'm sure Cheng Wang will be able to dispel his thoughts of abdication. In today's world, apart from Cheng Wangfei, there is probably no one who can influence Cheng Wang."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Gao narrowed his eyes, the anger in them gradually subsiding and becoming profound. He pursed his lips tightly and stopped speaking.

  Originally today, several imperial grandsons were summoned to the palace to bestow names upon them, but unexpectedly, due to a quarrel between father and son, the prepared edict was not even issued.

  What made Emperor Xia Gao even angrier was that after he had thrown such a big tantrum, his son quietly took away the adorable crown prince from the palace back to their residence.

  He hasn't even had enough of it yet!

  Upon learning that Yan Mo had taken the child out of the palace, Xia Gao was furious and couldn't help but scold in his heart - damn thing, why wasn't he so obedient usually? He just cursed once to get lost, and actually abandoned him without care!

  Today, King Fengde is quite pleased. Xia Gao gave his son the name Xia Zhiheng and granted him the title of King of Shu. Summer Li Xuan expressed that her mood was exceptionally beautiful because her son had not yet reached a month old and had already received such an honor. After all, today's trip to the palace was what didn't bring anything back.

  Following the imperial court

  Yan Mo ordered the nanny to take the three children away after he brought them back to the mansion, and then he went straight back to his bedroom.

  Seeing him come back so early, Bai Xinzhi was still somewhat surprised.

  "How did you get back so early?" She couldn't help but ask curiously. Could it be that the emperor didn't like their child, so he sent them away early?

  This morning, the emperor sent someone to declare that their treasures should enter the palace. Originally, she didn't want to agree, after all, the children had only been born for a few days and couldn't casually go out.

  But he said it was nothing and wouldn't let the three treasures catch a chill, so she agreed to let him take them to the palace. Was this trip back and forth too hasty?

  He faintly hooked up the corners of his lips and said with a half-joking tone, "The palace is boring, I was worried about you, so I thought of coming back to accompany you earlier."

  Bai Xin wiped his hands deliberately and glanced at him: "You're being too mushy."

  She sat up in bed and suddenly asked, "Mo Yu, did the emperor say anything about naming them? If he doesn't care about this matter, I'll name the babies myself."

  Her eyes sparkled slightly as she raised her hand to touch her face, smiling: "This matter is not urgent, the Emperor must be worried about giving names at this moment, after all, three at once, it's necessary to deliberate carefully."

  Hearing this, Bai Xin nodded slightly: "Alright, if that's the case, then let's wait a bit longer."

  To be honest, she didn't want anyone to name her child at all. Even if it was the paternal grandfather, she still wouldn't trust him. What if the name he chose sounded terrible?

  The emperor insisted on taking credit for this matter, and she didn't dare to have any opinion, after all, the monarch's naming was an honor for the child, if she refused, it would be ungrateful and contemptuous of the emperor.

  The next day

  Yanmo got up at dawn as usual and went to court. Bai Xin slept until dawn, and after washing up under the service of Xueying, she drank a nourishing chicken soup and had breakfast. After tidying herself up, she asked Xueying to call the wet nurse and bring her three children to her room.

  Just as the children were being carried into the house by their wet nurses, and before she could even go to hug them, Yin Du hastily came to report that Empress Xiao had left the palace and was arriving at Cheng Wang Fu to visit her.

  Bai Xin's hand, which was about to strike, halted in surprise and puzzlement, but he still let Yin Du go to invite the person in.

  She had just given birth, so it's not possible for her to casually run outside. It can't be that you, the empress, came and she has to go far out to greet you? If that were the case, even if she was being polite, Mo Yu from her family would probably not be polite.

  Before long, Empress Xiao's noble figure appeared in Bai Xincheng's bedroom.

  At this moment, Bai Xinzhen had already been carried away by someone to take care of the child. She lay back on her bed, looking weak and listless, as if she couldn't even muster the strength to crawl.

  "Her Majesty the Queen has arrived, I'm afraid I didn't come to greet you from afar. Please forgive me." She said weakly, pretending to exert herself as if trying to get out of bed to pay her respects.

  Seeing this, Empress Xiao hastily stepped forward and personally pressed down on her shoulder, saying anxiously: "Princess Cheng, there's no need to be so polite. You're still recovering from childbirth, let's dispense with these formalities for now. The emperor has come today solely to visit you and the child, so don't stand on ceremony with me."

  Today's Xiao Huang Hou is as low-key and luxurious, noble and elegant as Bai Xin saw before, very casual and gentle.

  Bai Xin smiled at her with a pampered and surprised expression, but his smile looked weak and powerless.

  "Thank you, Your Majesty," she said, without being polite. After thanking her, with the support of Empress Xiao, she slowly and laboriously lay back on the bed.

  "From what I see, the Crown Princess's body is very weak. Has she been seen by the imperial physician? If it continues like this, who knows when her body will recover?" Empress Xiao asked with a concerned expression.

  Bai Xin's heart was filled with anxiety. Damn it, you're such a big shot Buddha suddenly showing up, if she didn't put on an act, how could she reduce your vigilance?

  She forced a faint smile and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The imperial physician has already examined me at the prince's behest. It's nothing serious, just that my body is too weak... Cough, cough, cough... It's been several days now, and I don't even have the energy to get out of bed. It's so suffocating."

  Xiao Huanghou sat down on the edge of the bed with a casual air, and dismissed the palace maid she had brought with her. Then, looking at Bai Xincheng with a smile, she said: "You gave birth to three children at once, so your body must be weaker than usual. However, as long as you take good care of yourself, I believe it won't take long for you to recover. The palace has brought some nourishing things today, hoping they can help your body."

  "Niang niang is really kind-hearted, Xie Er is truly grateful." Bai Xin Xie continued to smile weakly.

  Empress Xiao reached out her hand, tenderly tucked in her quilt and said softly: "This is what I should do, don't be so polite. The Emperor is worried about your body, it's not convenient for him to come out of the palace to visit you, so he let me come on his behalf. We are all family, from now on, don't be so formal."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin's mouth twitched slightly in the dark. "......?!"

  Actually what she wants to say the most now is, big sister, shouldn't you be more polite? You're still her stepmother after all, can't you act a bit more like one? It's not right for a stepmother to treat her like her own mother, don't you feel wronged?

  For a moment, Bai Xinzhu didn't know how to chat. Others said they came to see her and the child, so she didn't need to ask about their intentions. Moreover, she had already expressed her gratitude, and really didn't know what else to say to this empress who had been living in the deep palace and suddenly ran out at this moment.

  Fortunately, she performed very weakly, although the scene was a bit cold, but it didn't look too awkward and abrupt.

  After all, if she wants someone who is 'on the verge of death' to accompany her in endless laughter and chatter, then it's not a visit to make amends.

  Xiao Huanghou seemed to know this too, so she didn't force Bai Xincheng to speak either.

  She had been seeing white and her eyes were closed as if she could fall asleep at any moment, but in the end she couldn't help but speak up.

  "Your Highness, I don't know if you've heard about something?"

  Bai Xin lifted her eyelids, which seemed to be very heavy, and it took her several attempts to open her eyes. "What is Your Majesty referring to?"

  She now really wishes she could sleep a little better, because facing this woman, she really doesn't have the mood to socialize. Moreover, her sister Xiao Yun died at Meiren Manor, although it wasn't someone from Meiren Manor who killed her, but Xiao Yun's death is indeed related to them, even though she knows that Empress Xiao can't possibly know the truth, she still can't help but imagine that Empress Xiao personally came out of the palace, perhaps to avenge her sister.

  Xiao Huanghou smiled gently and asked casually, "I heard that Cheng Wang wants to adopt his eldest son as the heir of the Yan family and change his surname to Yan. Is it true?"

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xinzhen couldn't help but take another glance at her and nodded: "The prince does have such intentions."

  The Empress Xiao suddenly sighed and said two words: "No wonder..."

  Bai Xin's eyebrows furrowed in concern, but she didn't understand what she meant: "May I ask your ladyship, is there something wrong?"

  Everyone says that nothing is done without the Three Treasures Hall, but she simply doesn't believe that this Empress is specifically here to see her and the child.

  Xiao Huanghou furrowed her brow, and her beautiful eyes suddenly filled with worry: "Ran'er, you probably don't know yet, yesterday Cheng Wang entered the palace and told the Emperor about wanting to adopt a son for the Yan family. The Emperor was furious, and I heard that he had a big argument with his father. After Cheng Wang left, the Emperor fell ill and refused to eat. The imperial physician said it was due to anger-induced heart disease. Helpless, I came out of the palace to see you, hoping you can help persuade Cheng Wang to apologize to the Emperor. The Emperor is after all the Emperor, the pillar of our Shu Xia kingdom, but now he won't eat or drink and refuses to listen to consolation. If things go on like this, what will become of him?"

  "What...?!" Bai Xiner was momentarily stunned.

  It's just adopting a child, no need to make such a big fuss about it?

  That adopted one is actually her biological son. She, as a mother, didn't say anything, but he, just a grandfather, has such a small-minded attitude?

  And... at the age of several tens, still refusing food and drink, isn't this a bit too childish?

  The emperor performed a tragic play last time, is he going to perform again this time? Doesn't he feel ashamed at all?

  "Cough, cough, cough..." She deliberately coughed loudly to express her surprise and concern. "Your Majesty, is the Emperor... is he all right?"

  In fact, Empress Xiao believed that the father and son were quarreling, she still had some faith in it. After all, yesterday she felt that her family's Mo Yu was a bit different, but if it was said that the emperor would make an absolute food to force her family Mo Yu to surrender, she thought this was a bit exaggerated.

  By the way
