After raising a cub, I won by doing nothing

Chapter 403 Mother, are you unhappy?

When it was time for lunch, Si Xieyue went to the side hall in person and had lunch with Mu Wanxi and the others.

Mu Yuan and Qian Mian were very tactful and chose not to have lunch with Si Xieyue and Mu Wanxi, but chose to eat in the back garden.

Therefore, in the huge side hall, only Mu Wanxi, Si Xieyue and the three little guys were left.

Sitting at the dinner table, Mu Wanxi looked listless and seemed to be worried about something.

"Mom, are you unhappy?" Mu Xiaomin, who was sitting next to Mu Wanxi, tugged at Mu Wanxi's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Mu Wanxi quickly sat up straight with a smile on her face: "No, mother is in a good mood."

How could she be in a bad mood?

It's not worth it to be in a bad mood because of that bastard Helian Chiyue.

Mu Xiaoye, Mu Xiaoqi and Mu Xiaomin all looked at Mu Wanxi worriedly.

Even if Mu Wanxi actively denied it, they could see that their mother was indeed not very happy.

No one knew why Mu Wanxi was unhappy. Mu Wanxi was obviously unwilling to say it, and the three little guys didn't dare to continue asking.

Si Xieyue, who was sitting opposite Mu Wanxi, also noticed Mu Wanxi's unhappiness and her eyes narrowed.

"Try this." Si Xieyue picked up a piece of fish and placed it on the plate in front of Mu Wanxi.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Wanxi's attitude towards Si Xieyue can only be described as indifferent and polite.

"Xixi, accompany me tonight to light the fire for the moon worship." Si Xieyue said slowly.

Mu Wanxi frowned and looked at Si Xieyue after hearing this: "Emperor, this is against the rules."

She has been in this world for so long and has read many books about this world. Her understanding of this world is much deeper than before, and she has also learned more about the customs of the Liuhuo Kingdom.

The Moon Worship Ceremony is very important to the people of Liuhuo Country. It is the country’s largest annual celebration and is celebrated by the entire nation.

There is an important part in the moon worship ceremony, that is, the emperor and the empress personally light the moon worship fire, which symbolizes praying for the blessing of the moon god and making the world prosperous. The moon, in Liuhuo country, symbolizes purity and supreme power.

However, there has never been a precedent in the historical records of Liuhuo Country where a woman who was not the empress had lit the fire for the moon sacrifice together with the emperor.

Mu Wanxi has not yet been officially canonized and cannot be called the empress of Liuhuo Kingdom.

Then, Si Xieyue asking her to accompany him to light the fire for the moon worship was a clear violation of ancestral rules.

"If I say that you can come with me, no one will dare to object." Si Xieyue raised a savage smile between his thin lips, "Not only that, this time I also plan to announce the candidate for the crown prince in the Moon Sacrifice Hall."

Having said that, Si Xieyue looked at Mu Xiaomin.

"Xiao Min is very talented and he is also our eldest son. The position of Crown Prince belongs to him."

After the words fell, Mu Wanxi could only look at Si Xieyue with an incredible look: "Emperor, don't joke with me."

Is Si Xieyue crazy?

Xiao Min is not his biological son, so why does he want to enthrone Xiao Min as the crown prince?

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Si Xieyue said.

"But I don't want to be the crown prince." Mu Xiaomin raised his hand and said weakly.

He had no interest in imperial power.

Si Xieyue looked at Mu Xiaomin deeply and said, "Being a prince can protect your mother and your brothers. Think about it before you speak."

Mu Xiaomin immediately fell silent.

Yes.

It is true that power is a sharp weapon that can protect the people you care about.
