Chapter 251: Heirs
Back in the dormitory, Jiang Liang and Yi were lying on the couch, with relatives in their hearts. She also came step by step from the deceit, bloody wind and rain of the harem, and she knows the hardships and dangers here. She doesn't want Cheng Shu to live in a sinister environment, and she doesn't want to see Cheng Shu grow up to become a calculating poisonous woman!
In the past, she may have been a little reluctant, but after tonight's turmoil, she finally made up her mind. She can no longer leave her pure child in the palace for her own selfishness, she wants to pave a safe and smooth life path for Chengshu.
"Princess Min." Jiang Fang said astringently.
"The concubine is here, what does the Queen Mother command?" Liu Manzhu hurriedly went to the bed of the Queen Mother.
Jiang Wei was silent for a moment, and finally asked: "The mourning family has long known about your inability to have children, but because of the reputation of you and King Min, it has never been shown. The mourning family asked you, since the Mu family added a county lord to the palace, King Min no longer refused to have sex with the Mu family, but is there such a thing? β
Liu Manzhu nodded nervously, she thought that the Queen Mother was going to blame her exclusive favor and hinder the opening of the palace.
"There is no successor to King Min's Mansion, what are you husband and wife going to do?" Jiang Fang's words changed.
"Huh?" Liu Manzhu didn't react for a while, it turned out that she didn't want to be punished? She hurriedly sorted out her thoughts and replied seriously: "The concubine also persuaded the prince, but the prince said that the girl is also his bloodline, and he has completed the task of inheriting the ancestry, and he will never do anything against his will again." The concubine also thought about choosing an heir from the clan, but the youngest boy who could succeed was six years old. The prince was afraid that the child would not be familiar with it when he was older, and he was unwilling to grieve his concubines...... Of course, if there is a suitable one, we do not exclude it. β
Liu Manzhu is desolate under her knees, but she wants to adopt a child and experience the state of mind of being a mother. Every time she saw Ruozhen nestled in Mu Cenxue's arms, she was envious.
"King Min treats you really well. But without a boy, Min Wangfu would be unable to continue after all. Jiang Fang tested Liu Manzhu.
"The prince said that in the future, it would be a good idea to choose an excellent county horse for the county lord and let them take over the palace together." Anyway, Min Wangfu has a child, and she doesn't mind leaving all the family property to her husband's only bloodline.
"Well, then, you're still planning to have a child. Even as long as all the conditions are suitable, and it just fits the princess's eyes, even if it is a girl, you are willing to adopt, right? Does the mourner understand correctly? Jiang Fang was excited for a moment, and reached out to grab Liu Manzhu's sleeve.
"Queen Mother, don't get too excited!" Xia Ying soothed Jiang Yuan's emotions, and by the way, put Cheng Shu between Jiang Luo and Liu Manzhu.
"Yes, yes." Liu Manzhu was a little frightened by the Queen Mother's reaction, but she still truthfully expressed her thoughts.
"Good, good, good!" I don't know why the Queen Mother sighed again and again, but looking at it from Liu Manzhu's perspective, Jiang Dong's eyes seemed to have a crystal teardrop hanging from the corner of his eye.
Jiang Yu pushed Cheng Shu, who was standing between the two and sucking her thumb, into Liu Manzhu's arms: "Shu'er is the heart of the mourning family, and now the mourning family has to endure the pain of cutting their love and entrust her to you, are you willing?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Manzhu expectantly.
Liu Manzhu was shocked! The mouth that was slightly open because it was too unexpected could not be closed. The Queen Mother actually asked her to be lonely? And it's still entrusted to this little girl who is very close to her! Thisβthis flattered her!
"Princess Min, you should have an answer!" Feng Wu was anxious when she watched from the side, and couldn't help but reach out and push Liu Manzhu, who was stunned.
"The concubine is willing! The queen mother, the concubines are willing! Liu Manzhu woke up from the shock and hugged Cheng Shu, as if she could no longer let go.
"Isn't that a great joy for all! The concubine had long seen that the two of her had a fate, but she never thought that this fate was actually a mother-daughter affection! Feng Wu stroked his palms and cheered.
During the banquet, Jiang Fang saw that Liu Manzhu was different from Cheng Shu, so she made a bet, but fortunately she won the bet. Jiang Fang exhaled with relief, patted the back of Liu Manzhu's hand, and announced, "Princess Min will take the order......"
"The concubine takes the order." Liu Manzhu knelt in front of the bed with Cheng Shu in her arms.
"Mourning family Yizhi: canonize the orphan girl Chengshu as the lord of Changhuan, give the surname 'Duan', enter the palace of King Min, and succeed to the knees of King Min and Concubine Liu. Up and down the Min Wangfu, this woman should be regarded as the lord of the county, if there is disobedience, the mourning family will be severely punished! Jiang Yu spoke very slowly, as if he wanted Liu Manzhu to hear every word clearly. She said as Xia Ying recorded Yi Zhi on the silk silk.
"Congratulations to Princess Min for 'getting a daughter', and I hope that the princess will be kind to the county lord in the future and treat her as her own." Xia Ying smiled and handed Yizhi to Liu Manzhu's hand, and at the same time deliberately reminded the words "treat it as your own".
"The concubines obey the decree of the Queen Mother! Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother! Liu Manzhu cried with joy and kowtowed to thanks.
Feng Wu watched the excitement while bowing down and scraping Cheng Shu's little nose: "Little girl, you have fallen out of the identity of the county lord without much effort, you are really lucky!" β
Two-year-old Cheng Shu shook her head, she didn't know what the queen meant by "good life", she just grinned stupidly.
Liu Manzhu led Cheng Shu back to King Min's mansion, and the amazing thing was that Cheng Shu didn't resist at all, and obediently followed her, just like going back to her own home.
On the contrary, it was Liu Manzhu herself, standing at the gate of King Min's mansion and hesitated. The matter of adopting Yang Shu is all up to her, and she hasn't had time to discuss this matter with the prince, I don't know if he is willing to accept this child? And that Mu Cen Xue, there is suddenly an extra "concubine" county lord in the palace, I don't know if she will feel uncomfortable?
"The princess is back? Why don't you go in? The second porter was stunned when he saw the princess standing at the door, so strange. Take a closer look, this princess is still holding a milk doll in her arms! Wang Er pointed at Cheng Shu and asked curiously, "Princess, who is this child?" β
Liu Manzhu looked at Cheng Shu who was dozing off, and secretly laughed at herself for thinking too much. Since she got married, her husband has not supported her decision. Now that she has a child she wants to cherish, he will definitely be happy for her. After all, it was given to their daughter "from heaven".
Yes, Cheng Shu, it's her daughter. Liu Manzhu smiled brightly at Wang Er, and her tone was firm: "She is the county lord of Chang Huan, the descendant of our Min Wangfu!" β
"Huh?" Wang Er touched the back of his head inexplicably, in addition to Ruozhen's little county lord in this palace, how can there be any children born in this palace?
"Ahhhh You idiot, if you don't go in to inform the prince, just say that the princess is ...... and the county lord went home. Liu Manzhu's maid Qian'er knocked Wang Er's head with a fan and scolded with a smile.
"Look, who's back?" Without waiting for Wang Ertong's transmission, as soon as Liu Manzhu entered the courtyard, Duan Yufan greeted him.
"Who else? Naturally, it was a concubine. Liu Manzhu bowed down and pushed Cheng Shu, who was noisy with Wang Er's loud voice, in front of her husband: "Cheng Shu, will you call your father?" Call Father. β
Cheng Shu timidly looked at the tall figure in front of her, her eyes turned twice, and her mouth overflowed with sweet and glutinous but still jerky words: "Father, king." β
"This ...... What's going on? Who is this kid? Why is this king called 'Father'? Duan Yufan was at a loss by this "father", and asked three questions in a row.
"Lord Wang, please take a look." Liu Manzhu took out the Empress Dowager's decree from her arms and presented it to Duan Yufan.
Duan Yufan was silent for a long time after seeing Yi Zhi, looked up and looked at Liu Manzhu's eyes with brilliance, he scooped up Xiao Chengshu and raised it above his head, laughed happily and said: "Chengshu, Duan Chengshu." You are the daughter of this king! It's our daughter! He dragged Cheng Shu with one arm and his beloved wife with the other. Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
"Father...... King. Mother...... Imperial concubine. Cheng Shu looked at Duan Yufan, then at Liu Manzhu, and finally buried her head in her father's shoulder socket with a smile.
This delightful little fellow seems destined to be their daughter.
"Side concubine! Side concubine, no! Mu Cenxue's maid Fennel trotted into Ning Xue Xuan.
"What is all the fuss about? Carefully scared Ruozhen! "I finally put my baby girl to sleep, but I can't wake her anymore.
Fennel glanced at the nurse next to her in embarrassment, and didn't know whether to say it to her face.
Mu Cengxue handed the sleeping child to Gan's: "Let's say, Gan's is not an outsider. β
"Concubine Fang, it's a big deal! The princess brought a wild child back to the house from outside, and insisted that she was the lady of the palace, and she was also named the lord of Changhuan! "Fennel is in a hurry.
"What?!" Mu Cen Xue felt that the situation was serious, and waved his hand to order Gan to take Ruozhen down. I pulled the fennel and asked in detail: "What's the matter?" Tell me about it! β
"Concubine Side, do you remember the child who was fostered by the Queen Mother?" Fennel gave Mu Cenxue a wake-up call.
"Remember, it's the orphan of the Chinese medical envoy for those two months?" Mu Cen Xue doesn't understand what fennel is doing with this? That orphan girl and King Min's mansion can't be beaten with eight poles...... Don't?! She couldn't help but glare at Fennel in shock.
Fennel nodded helplessly: "Yes, it's her!" The queen mother issued a decree and named the wild child as the county lord and entered our palace. Not only that, but the Queen Mother also gave her the identity of her concubine! β
"Grandpai!" Mu Cen Xue couldn't believe it: "What did the prince say? He also agreed? β
Fennel nodded again. The Queen Mother's decree has been issued, who dares to say the word "no"? And it can be seen that the prince still likes this cheap daughter very much!
"Too much deception!" Mu Cen Xue's eyes were about to crack, and with a wave of his hand, he brushed off the jewelry box on the dresser, the gold and jade fell to the ground, and the rings rang out.
Since she was pregnant with Ruozhen, she was like being "beaten into the cold palace". I thought that after the birth of the child, my husband's attitude would change, but I didn't expect him to still ignore her! But fortunately, Concubine Zheng is a "hen that doesn't lay eggs", and her daughter Ruozhen is the only bloodline in the palace. For the sake of the children, the palace did not dare to snub Ning Xuexuan.
Mu Cengxue thought that the princesses couldn't give birth to concubines, and the prince had no intention of taking concubines again. Although Ruozhen is a concubine, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is no different from a concubine. If she can't give birth to a son for the prince in this life, then everything in this palace will be precious in the future, and she has nothing else to ask for. But now a "grandson" county lord has appeared out of thin air, which is clearly slapping their mother and daughter in the face!
Since the husband and the housewife don't leave a "way out" for their mother and daughter, don't blame her for being "ruthless"!
