"The child naturally refuses." Minghong then spoke: "That child has been raised by the Li family for more than ten years, how can he be willing to recognize other people as parents?" So the parents of the Zhang family found the stable woman who delivered the baby that year. There are also relatives and friends, pointing out the birthmark on the child, saying that it is their own child. With a fertility grace, ask the child to go home with them. ”

"The yamen took the case and divided it into two factions. One faction believes that the Li family has been raised for many years, and the nurturing grace is greater than the shengen. The child should be awarded to the Li family. Another family believes that it is very hard for mothers to conceive for ten months. The Zhang family did not deliberately abandon it, and the child should be given to the Zhang family. ”

When Xia Qingtong was in modern times, he didn't read much on the news that many things happened with the wrong child.

In many cases, the wrong child is really sent back to their original parents' home, and they can't accept it.

After all, a person who is out of the environment he is accustomed to will have great discomfort.

"Then how did the prince say that he would judge?" When Emperor Qingren heard this, he was also interested.

Ming Hong smiled: "The sixth brother is really witty, he actually said." Since both families want sons, let the two families get along as one family. The horizontal and vertical are also close. Think of this child as the son of two surnames. Picking up two ends on one shoulder, it's similar to the previous succession. In this way, the Zhang family has an additional son, and the Li family does not have to worry about losing that son. Isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

This is a really good idea, it is better than arguing all the time, making it difficult for the children and making the parents on both sides not dependent.

"But what if they don't want to?"

Xia Qingtong was so engrossed by listening that he forgot that Emperor Qingren was sitting on the top for a while.

"It's easy if you don't want to." Ming Yue smiled slightly: "The imperial court is recruiting troops to guard the northwest border pass. If they don't want to, just say that we can help and send people to the northwest to join the army. ”

Xia Qingtong: ......

It's a bit ruthless. Whether it is the Li family or the Zhang family, there is only one boy. This is if you send your child out to join the army. What if there is some damage? For Zhang and Li's family, they can't follow.

"That's it. I think it's a great idea. Minghong's eyes lit up and he looked impressed.

Aren't you fighting for children? Then fight for it. When the time comes, not a single child of yours will ever see you.

Emperor Qingren listened for a long time and did not speak. Xia Qingtong couldn't figure out what he meant.

After a while, he picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip: "The idea is good." But if no one wants to go to the northwest, then who will guard the border of Dongzhao? ”

"Father, the last time my son mentioned it, we can raise a militia."

"Militia?"

"That's right. Take the people as soldiers, and let them go to the fields to farm in peacetime. When they are free, let them train. In this way, we will have enough soldiers and will not delay our usual farming. ”

This method was put forward when I chatted with Xia Qingtong last time and said that the budget of the Ministry of War was insufficient.

Emperor Qingren looked at Ming Yue, is it the militia you mentioned in the memora last time? ”

"Yes." Ming Yue nodded: "If my father wants to see it, I will go back and draw up a detailed plan for my father to see." ”

Ming Yue is generous, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Now that he has reached this position, he naturally wants to do more things that are beneficial to Dongzhao.

Concubine Li kept smiling and watching the father and son in front of her talk, and from time to time she added tea to Emperor Qingren. Chu Zhaoyi looked relieved, she had been worried that Ming Yue and Emperor Qingren would not get along well, but now she can rest assured.

But this is a harem, and there are some things that are not suitable for talking here, so I chatted a few words at will, and then changed the topic.

Emperor Qingren didn't sit for too long, he still had a piece of music to criticize, so naturally it was impossible to stay for a long time.

When he left, Concubine Li also got up and left, and looked at Xia Qingtong before leaving, her eyes were very kind.

"Now that the crown princess lives in the East Palace, it is closer. Next time I have time, I will come to play in Hanzhang Palace. ”

"Thank you, Lady Concubine. I'll definitely go when I have time. ”

Concubine Li left after saying this, and Ming Yue and Xia Qingtong got up to say goodbye.

Chu Zhaoyi sent the two outside, and when they were about to reach the gate of the hall, she stopped Ming Yue.

Xia Qingtong reacted immediately and stood on the side.

"It's really good that you're like this." Chu Zhaoyi looked at Ming Yue, her eyes were full of nostalgia, "Your mother has a spirit in the sky, and I will feel very relieved to see you like this now." ”

"Mother-"

"Look at me, what are you doing with all these old things? Go ahead and go back early to rest. In the future, the burden on your body will be heavy, but you should also pay more attention to your body. As long as you live well, your mother can feel at ease. ”

"Yes. Erchen knows. ”

On the other end, Xia Qingtong thought that Chu Zhaoyi and Ming Yue were going to talk for a long time. He had already moved outside the temple.

It's already night outside, and the night breeze is very comfortable on your face.

Red Sakura has been following her, and said casually, turning a corner from here to the Imperial Garden, and asked her if she wanted to see it.

That's not bad. She hadn't seen the Imperial Garden at night.

As a result, before he reached the entrance of the Imperial Garden, he met Chu Wanfei first.

She seemed to have just finished a walk in the Imperial Garden, and was going back to her palace. Leng was startled when he saw Xia Qingtong.

"Wan Concubine Niangniang." Xia Qingtong bowed slightly, and the red cherry blossom next to him performed a very standard palace ceremony.

"I've seen Concubine Wanniang."

"It turned out to be the crown princess? I've seen the crown princess. ”

Concubine Chu Wan gave a not very serious salute, according to the level, Xia Qingtong was one level higher than her. Concubine Chu saluted like this, she could pick her thorns.

But she didn't want to worry about the people in front of her, no matter how she said it, she was also the concubine of her father.

She raised her feet and was about to leave, but Chu Wanfei blocked her way.

"The crown princess just entered the palace today, and I heard that my sister arranged a banquet for you to celebrate. I didn't have the honor to participate, so I had to say hello to the crown princess here. ”

The yin and yang weird tone makes people uncomfortable when they hear it. Xia Qingtong's personality is a bit straightforward, and she instinctively dislikes such a person.

"Concubine Wan is polite. It's not something to celebrate. Thank you. ”

"How could it not be celebrated?" There was a trace of resentment in Chu Wanfei's tone: "Back then, my sister tried her best to snatch the custody of the prince, and she knelt outside the palace gate for so long. Now that she has achieved her wish and her son has become the prince, she should be very satisfied. ”

"I don't know which one is closer to this adopted son or my own son. Maybe my sister wants her own son to be the prince even more. I don't know how long you can be the crown princess. ”

If this obviously sows discord, Xia Qingtong will not be fooled, but this Chu Wan concubine is open-mouthed, and she must always teach her a lesson.
