Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"Ah, I thought of it."

Meng Yunshang stood up and returned to the dressing table, opened the bottom layer of the dressing table, took out an exquisite longevity lock and carefully hung it on Huai'an's chest.

After looking left and right, he exclaimed with satisfaction, "This is perfect."

Huai'an touched the longevity lock and couldn't let it go.

"Mother, is this really for me?"

"I prepared it for you originally, but I just never took it out before."

The lock was indeed prepared for Huai'an, but when it was ready and taken back, it was seen by Meng Xueyun.

She brought up the old topic again, stirring up Meng Yunshang's resentment towards Lu Chenxiao for forcing her to marry her, and also hinted that Huai'an was redundant and not worth her attention.

The possessed Meng Yunshang immediately put the longevity lock into her dressing box and never took it out again.

Now that I finally have the chance to put the lock on Huai'an, it's not too late.

"Wow, this is the second gift my mother gave me. I like it so much."

"So do you like the gift or me?"

"I love my mother the most, and then I love the gifts she gives me."

Meng Yunshang scratched his nose lightly with amusement, "You have a sweet mouth."

"Huai An said what was in his heart, not to trick mother."

Huai'an spoke anxiously because he was worried that his mother would misunderstand.

Meng Yunshang smiled gently, "Even if An'er is just trying to coax me, I'm happy."

"Hehe, I just like mother, I like her very much!"

The intimate and happy atmosphere between mother and son continued until after breakfast.

The housekeeper hurried over to report, "Princess, someone has come from the Queen Mother's palace to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the palace."

"Did you tell me what it was?"

The housekeeper shook his head. "It was Eunuch Feng who came from the Empress Dowager's side."

"Don't be afraid, mother. Eunuch Feng and I are very familiar with each other. Every time the Empress Dowager misses me, she sends him to pick me up."

"How about mom go with you?"

Meng Yunshang felt a little uneasy.

The Queen Mother was of ordinary birth, but it was no simple matter for a woman to rise from a humble concubine to the throne of Queen and successfully give birth to two sons, the Emperor and Prince Heng.

Originally, she was not the daughter-in-law that the Queen Mother liked.

But Lu Chenxiao acted first and asked for the emperor's decree to force her to marry him. After the marriage, she and Lu Chenxiao had various conflicts.

The Queen Mother would summon her to the palace from time to time to set the rules.

She was young and energetic at that time, and felt that Lu Chenxiao was the source of her pain.

So every time she was wronged in the palace, she would become even more aggressive towards Lu Chenxiao when she returned home.

After giving birth to Huai'an, the Queen Mother was worried that she would not be able to take good care of the child, so she asked her to send Huai'an to the palace to be raised.

She happily agreed, but Lu Chenxiao disagreed, and the two had a fierce argument.

Later, when the Queen Mother made her go to the palace to be bullied again, she took it out on Huai'an.

The Queen Mother angrily scolded her for being cruel and vicious, and locked her up in a dark room in Kunning Palace for two days and two nights, hoping that she would realize her mistakes.

But she did not admit her mistake at this point. Instead, after returning to the palace, she made Huai'an kneel for the entire afternoon.

The Queen Mother gave up on her and no longer had any expectations of her.

But from time to time, he would have people bring Huai'an into the palace. It was both a way of missing him and a way of supporting him.

The Queen Mother must have known the underlying reason behind the fire in Xianyun Court yesterday.

If I question him too deeply, it might hurt Huai'an and increase his anxiety.

Meng Yunshang wanted to accompany Huai'an into the palace, but the two days and two nights of darkness in Kunning Palace and the repeated humiliations after her marriage made her unable to let go of the Queen Mother.

Even though the incident was caused by her, the frustration and helplessness in the darkness still cast a shadow on her mind about Kunning Palace.

If possible, she never wanted to set foot in Kunning Palace again in her life.

Seeing her embarrassment, Huai'an sensibly comforted her, "Mom is injured, just rest at home."

"The Imperial Grandmother loves me very much. My father is also in the palace when he attends court. I will go home with him when the time comes. Don't worry, mother."

Meng Yunshang nodded, "Okay, then mother will wait for you to come back for lunch."

He sent Huai'an to the door and watched him get on the carriage that came from the palace to pick him up.

Meng Yunshang turned around and told the housekeeper, "Send someone to deliver a message to the prince, asking him to remember to take the prince with him when he returns home from court."

Although the butler was surprised, he quickly came to his senses and did as he was told.

imperial study room

After the dragon case, Emperor Yuan Qing suddenly stood up and slammed the table.

After angrily sweeping away all the memorials, he paced back and forth behind the desk with his hands on his hips.

"Xiao, tell me, aren't they just relying on my youth and thinking I'm easy to control?"

"One by one, they eat my salary but betray me. Do they really think I can't do anything to them?"

Eunuch Shun and the servants on both sides were trembling with fear.

Only Lu Chenxiao, who was standing not far from the dragon case, had a calm expression, as if he could not see Emperor Yuan Qing's anger at all.

Eunuch Shun couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Prince Heng was indeed not an ordinary person.

"Ah Xiao, tell me now, how should I deal with these antiques?"

Emperor Yuan Qing sat back on the dragon throne, and Eunuch Shun immediately understood and stepped forward to pour him tea. At the same time, he secretly gestured to others to pick up the memorials on the ground and put them back to their original places.

Lu Chenxiao raised his eyelids slightly and spoke in a dull tone, "Your Majesty, please let me know if you have any arrangements. There is no need to act so hard."

Emperor Yuan Qing's face froze, and he coughed twice, "I'm not acting, I'm really angry with them. Xiao, I feel uncomfortable when you question me like this."

Lu Chenxiao refused to accept the challenge and bowed to say goodbye, "It's getting late, I should leave the palace and return home."

"Why are you coming back so early to see Meng's cold face?"

"I'm not saying anything to you. As the great Prince Heng, you can have any woman you want. Why do you insist on sticking to Meng alone?"

"I heard that when she learned about Song Jinyan's death in battle, she even wanted to burn herself to death? You didn't divorce this woman, but you still hold her in high esteem. If my father were still alive, I'm afraid you would piss him off to death!"

Lu Chenxiao chuckled, "Your Majesty is indeed too idle."

Emperor Yuan Qing: “???”

Should he listen to what he is saying?

Who said he was idle!

There were so many things keeping him busy inside and outside the court, and those old antiques wanted to stand in front of his dragon bed and stare at him.

He is already in dire straits, but his dearest brother says he has a lot of free time?

Emperor Yuan Qing expressed that he was deeply hurt!

Once he gets hurt, Lu Chenxiao won't have an easy life.

Emperor Yuan Qing rolled up his sleeves, walked around the dragon table and came to Lu Chenxiao, smiling and suggesting, "I have thought about it for a long time, and I think the reason why you are obsessed with Meng must be because you have experienced too few women."

"How about I ask the Queen to pick out a few noble ladies for you? If you think noble ladies are boring and want bold and enchanting ones, I can also ask people to find them for you among the common people. In short, as long as you are no longer obsessed with the Meng family, I can do it for you."

"A few days ago, my mother said that the harem was empty and lonely. I will report to you that the emperor wants to select concubines to fill the harem and expand the royal family."

Emperor Yuan Qing's face darkened, he glanced at Lu Chenxiao and snorted, "Just keep on indulging me, I wonder if you can wait another five years!"

Lu Chenxiao's eyes were dim, and his fingers hidden in his sleeves twisted slightly unconsciously.

After exiting the imperial study, Lu Ming stepped forward and informed them, "The palace has sent word that the prince has entered the palace. Please take the prince with you when you return home, Your Majesty."

Lu Chenxiao paused, tilted his head and asked softly, "Whose words are you spreading?"
