The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 901 The Crown Prince Wants to Break the Ancestral Rules

Shi Anxia floated in chaos for several days, and finally opened his eyes which weighed a thousand pounds.

The golden unicorn on the top of the scarlet gauze tent flickered in the morning light, just like the scattered images in her broken memories.

She stared at the top of the tent for a long time, sorting out many things. The wound on her abdomen ached with every breath, but it was nothing compared to the turmoil in her heart.

So that's how it was. Her eyes were dark and unclear, sometimes moving, sometimes passionate, completely different from her usual calm demeanor.

Shi Anxia's chest rose and fell violently, and the breath he exhaled was hot and heavy, mixed with a few broken sobs. The sound seemed to be squeezed out from deep inside his internal organs, startling Nan Yan, who was on duty, and hurried forward.

"Madam!" Nan Yan hurriedly lifted the scarlet gauze curtain and hung it up with the golden hook.

I was so cautious that I didn't know where to start.

She helped her wife sit up, only to find that she was so thin that she looked like she had lost half her life.

Shi Anxia lowered her eyes and asked about the child's condition.

Nan Yan reported truthfully that the eldest master was fine, could eat, sleep and play with bubbles by himself.

As for the condition of the two young ladies, she did not dare to say too much, only saying that they were weak and were being taken care of by Lady Meng and Lady Anguo, and that the four wet nurses had moved to that courtyard to serve them.

Shi Anxia knew from these words that her two daughters must be struggling between life and death.

She felt distressed. She wanted to see her children, but was also worried that her illness would be passed on to her daughters.

If she can’t even see her daughter, then of course she can’t see that brat who stole all the nutrients.

You have to treat everyone equally! Otherwise, the favored ones will become more favored, which is not desirable. If you are not disciplined, you will definitely be a playboy in the future.

Shi Anxia's mind was filled with thoughts about her children, and she put those stormy moments behind her.

She smelled a foul smell mixed with blood on her body, "My clothes are sticky, I want to bathe..."

You can't take a bath.

Nan Yan took a warm, wet towel and wiped her body, and Hong Que and Hong Yan came in to help her change clothes.

They used to be talkative girls, but now they dare not say a word and just bury their heads in their work.

Shi Anxia deliberately teased them with words.

"Sister Xia'er, you've suffered so much!" Qiu Hongyan's eyes were red and she was terribly scared.

She didn't know that childbirth was like this. Even Sister Xia'er was in excruciating pain, let alone her?

In her heart, Sister Xia'er is someone who is blessed by God. No, her Sister Xia'er herself is God.

Qiu Hongyan didn't want to get married or have children. "Sister Xia'er, I will live with you from now on."

Shi Anxia knew that she had left a psychological shadow on others, but she did not point it out. It is not without benefit to let them pay more attention to the process of having children and cherish themselves more.

She quipped, "Fifteen wouldn't agree."

Qiu Hongyan blushed.

Hong Que finally smiled.

Shi Anxia wanted to say, "What are you laughing at? My cousin Xinghe is back, and it's time for you to get married."

But she didn't say it out loud. I'm afraid there will be many twists and turns in the future.

When Tang Chujun and Yao Sheng heard that their daughter had woken up, they rushed over and chatted with her for a while.

At dusk, Shi Anxia ate a bowl of porridge and felt much better. Then he asked someone to ask Madam Meng and Madam Anguo if they could bring their daughter over to see her.

Madam Meng and Lady Anguo each brought one over, followed by the wet nurse.

Shi Anxia then discovered that the breast patches of the wet nurses had all been replaced with phoenix patterns. The auspicious birds embroidered with gold thread spread their wings and were about to fly, shining brightly on the apricot brocade. This was a third-grade dress that only the wet nurses of the royal heirs could wear.

Lady Anguo explained that this was a gift from the Crown Prince and was delivered personally by the eunuch the day after the princess gave birth.

Shi Anxia didn't say anything about it. She held one of her daughters in her arms, feeling light and sad. "Why is she so small?"

It was smaller and lighter than the two cats she usually held, and even after being several days old, its skin was still red and wrinkled.

“It’s a little ugly,” she said.

Madam Meng disagreed, "This is because the child hasn't grown up yet. When he grows up, he won't be ugly anymore. Princess, please speak more slowly, the child will understand."

It's still ugly! Shi Anxia touched the child's soft mouth with her hand, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Well, I know. I gave birth to a child who survived many deaths, so I won't dislike it even if it's ugly."

It's just a pity that their father is not around. She didn't say this out loud, hiding it in her heart, feeling the pain.

It was faint, not particularly heartbreaking. She always believed that Cen Yuan was alive and would not die so easily.

She was determined to find him alive, just like she swore before giving birth that she would live and the three babies in her belly would also live.

Look, isn’t that what you wished for?

My husband said that this is called faith. Whether it succeeds or not is one thing, but you have to believe that it can succeed.

The little daughter suddenly whimpered and struggled to get into her arms.

Madam Meng smiled, "Sure enough, she has to be a real mother. She's too lazy to even move in our arms."

Shi Anxia thought, maybe the thing her daughter was close to was the Zi Gu in her body? That was the smell her daughter was familiar with.

Madam Anguo knew that she had thought of this, so she changed the subject, "The eunuchs also followed the order of the Crown Prince and sent a longevity lock to each of the children."

Shi Anxia smiled, "The prince is thoughtful."

Madam Anguo was silent for a moment and then spoke again. Crown Prince Xiao Zhi, as regent, broke the ancestral system for her and made all the children born to Princess Haiyan be listed in the imperial rank order of grandchildren and granddaughters, and all were recorded in the Jade Book of Jia. The Ministry of Rites had already drafted the edict, and it only needed to be sealed.

After hearing this, Shi Anxia shook her head and said firmly, "No."

The Jia-character Jade Book was a genealogy that could only be recorded by the direct bloodline of the emperor. If her children were included in it, they would be legitimate heirs to the throne and could compete for the throne in the future. I wonder how much hidden danger this would pose to the North Wing.

Even if he is included in the royal jade book, he can only be listed at the end of the main volume and must be marked in a different color from the blood relatives of the emperor.

She herself was specially allowed to be included in the Imperial Book by Emperor Mingde after he dealt with the Empress Dowager's party.

But an adopted daughter is an adopted daughter and she must never overstep the boundaries.

Although her son was born at the hour of Mao, her daughter was born at the hour of Chen. In the North Wing, being born at the hour of Chen means the soaring of the dragon.

In most powerful families, even if a child is born at the Chen hour, this period will be avoided in the records.

Moreover, her children are actually the royal blood of Liang State. If this news gets out, it may lead to disputes between the two countries.

Madam Anguo also said, "The Censorate has been arguing these days, saying it is not in accordance with ancestral rules. Officials from the Secretariat have also been reluctant to use the seal."

Shi Anxia nodded and told Nan Yan to invite Shi Yunqi.

Nan Yan left, and when she came back, Shi Anxia had already lay down to rest.

She had just held her two daughters and her son, and was a little tired.

When Shi Anxia heard the noise, she didn't open her eyes, but just asked, "Is Nan Yan back?"

Nan Yan hurriedly leaned over and tucked the corner of the quilt for Madam, "Yes, Madam. The Marquis said he would come later. He is in the government office to handle the case of arson in the Marquis' Mansion."
