Chapter 372

"Where is the sound of a child crying coming from in this palace? An An, could you have heard it wrong?" Empress Xian frowned and said.

After all, the palace hasn't had a new child for a long time. Now, if we talk about children, the only one is that the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace has just given birth to a grandson.

Thinking of this, Empress Xian felt a little uneasy.

"Mother, we have to go and check it out. What if it really is a child?" Qiao Anan said a little worriedly. After all, there are some kittens whose meows sound like He's.

However, if it was a child, Qiao Anan felt that the child could not be allowed to stay in this palace.

"Then you stand here, Madam Qiu, take care of the Second Prince's wife. I'll go and take a look." Empress Xian thought that her daughter-in-law was pregnant now, and the situation there was unclear, so she couldn't be disturbed.

"Yes!" Aunt Qiu also knew that Qiao Anan was pregnant, so she was here to protect Qiao Anan.

Concubine Xian nervously followed the palace maid to the corner.

"Empress, there really is a child." The maid said in horror.

"Bring the child here." Empress Xian frowned tightly. She couldn't understand who would leave the child here.

Although the palace maid didn't know who lost the child who suddenly appeared in the imperial garden, she didn't dare to neglect him.

The palace maid looked at the quilt with some confusion. Not everyone would dare to use this color.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring the child over!" Empress Xian looked at the dazed palace maid and urged.

"Yes!" Although the palace maid was surprised, she didn't dare to say anything.

"Eh?" Empress Xian looked at the child in her arms and felt something was strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

"Go back and see if there is anything left there. If there is, pick it up." Empress Xian ordered again.

Empress Xian carried the child back to where Qiao Anan was.

"Mother?" Qiao Anan frowned as she looked at the child in Empress Xian's arms.

Especially the color of the blanket, it was yellow.

"Let's go find the emperor first." Empress Xian also realized that something was wrong.

"Eunuch Chang, you watch here secretly and see who will come here soon." After Qiao Anan said this, she asked Nanny Qiu to take off her clothes and pretend to put them on Concubine Xian to hide the child.

Just as they were about to leave, they saw a palace maid hurried over and bumped into An An.

"How do you walk?" Nanny Qiu wanted to scold the palace maid.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean it!" The maid lowered her head, not daring to look at Qiao Anan.

But he kept calling Qiao Anan "Empress".

"Forget it." Qiao Anan shook her head at Empress Xian and left quickly.

"Send someone to keep an eye on that palace maid." Qiao Anan said to Bai Lu who was standing beside her.

"Don't worry, master." Even if Bai Lu was stupid, she could see that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince's Consort and Empress Xian request an audience." Eunuch Li didn't know why Empress Xian and the Second Prince's Consort came to see Your Majesty at this time.

"Let them in." Chu Yuanming didn't understand what was going on between the two of them.

Then he gave the order.

"Meet the Emperor!"

"I've met my father!"

The two of them bowed to Chu Yuanming, but the child in Concubine Xian's arms was silent at this time.

"What's wrong with Empress Xian?" Chu Yuanming saw Empress Xian putting on an extra layer of clothing, thinking that she might be sick.

"Eunuch Li, please take someone down. This princess and my mother have something to say to our father. Please wait at the door." Qiao Anan said to Eunuch Li with a smile.

Eunuch Li looked at Chu Yuanming, and Chu Yuanming nodded.

"Okay, now everyone has gone down. An'an, do you and Concubine Xian have anything to tell me?" Chu Yuanming looked at Qiao An'an in confusion.

"Father, your daughter-in-law and mother want to show you something." Qiao Anan said seriously.

"Oh? What good things does An An want to show father?" Chu Yuan became interested.

"Wow! Wow!"

The child in Empress Xian's arms cried out at the right moment.

"Where did the child come from?" Chu Yuanming stood up in horror when he heard this.

Empress Xian took the child out of her arms at the right time. Looking at the light outside, the child just put his hands in his mouth but stopped crying.

"This child..." Chu Yuanming looked at the child and quickly walked from the imperial table to Empress Xian.

Chu Yuanming looked at the child in Concubine Xian's arms with a frown on his face.

"Where did you find this child?" Chu Yuanming asked in a deep voice.

"Just now, An An and I wanted to go to the East Palace to visit the emperor's eldest grandson for his third birthday. When we passed by the Imperial Garden, An An heard the crying of this child. Your Majesty, do you know this child?" Empress Xian had actually guessed the identity of this child just now, but she didn't understand why this child appeared in the Imperial Garden.

"Waah! Wah!" The child was sucking his little hands, but he was still not satisfied. At this moment, he started to cry loudly, but the sound was just like a kitten, but Eunuch Li who was guarding outside heard it.

"Eunuch Li, I'm hungry. Let me prepare some goat's milk for me." Chu Yuanming said after taking a deep breath.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li did not dare to let others do it, so he went to do it himself.

"Liuyun, go and ask the prince to come over!" Chu Yuanming shouted again.

"Could it be that this child of the emperor is really the eldest grandson?" Qiao Anan asked curiously.

"I don't know." Chu Yuanming said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"You haven't seen it?" Concubine Xian asked in confusion.

"I have seen him, but at that time, I thought that child looked like a naughty monkey. This child doesn't look like that." Chu Yuanming felt a little worried when he thought of the child born by the Crown Princess that day, who looked like a monkey.

I don’t know why, since both the prince and the princess are good-looking, they gave birth to such an ugly child.

However, after all, the child is also the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he did not dare to despise him. Who knows if he is atavistic?

I heard that humans’ ancestors evolved from monkeys.

Chu Yuanming thought that the Crown Princess at least gave birth to a human being.

"Your Majesty, a newborn baby may not look very good, but he will be good-looking when he grows up." Empress Xian remembered that when Chu Haojue was just born, he also looked like an old man, wrinkled. She almost asked the palace servants to throw the child away.

But then I thought, this ugly thing had lived in my stomach for ten months and caused me pain for so long, so I was unwilling to just throw it away.

Fortunately, the child grew more and more handsome.

"The prince will come over to take a look later." Chu Yuanming was also a little unsure whether this man was the emperor's eldest grandson.

But, whether it is true or not, the sudden appearance of a child in the Imperial Garden is always a problem.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuanming looked at the baby with a complicated expression.
