Chapter 221 221: Waiting for the Queen Ceremony to let her leave the palace
Wen Nianruan's face lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter whether Su Wanyan gives birth to a son or a daughter, as long as it is safe, it will be fine.
"Where is Concubine Shu?"
"Already passed away."
Wen Nianruan's face froze, even though he was mentally prepared, the bitter taste still spread throughout his body.
"Go and have a look and send her on her last journey."
When Wen Nianruan arrived at the Longyan Palace, the palace attendants knelt on the ground. The palace was silent and oppressive. Su Wanyan was lying peacefully on the bed, with a smile still on her lips.
She left after seeing her daughter for the last time, and she must have been satisfied.
The palace officials replaced the palace with white silk, and the white color that caught the eye was filled with sadness.
Xiao Jinran was holding a newborn baby in her arms. She seemed to be hungry. The little girl pursed her lips and cried, her little face turning red from suppressing pain.
Xiao Jinran's eyes were flustered and he looked a little at a loss.
"Come, give me a hug," Wen Nianruan carefully took the child from his hand. It was a small, soft ball. Her heart softened instantly and she quietly looked at her belly. In the future,
Will the baby I give birth to be so cute?
Wen Nianruan patted the child gently, then turned to look at Xiao Jinran: "Have you found the nanny?"
"Yes." Xiao Jinran responded and immediately asked the palace servants to find the wet nurse.
When the nanny came over and finished feeding the baby, the little baby still didn't forget to lick his little mouth. He looked so adorable.
After eating and drinking, she didn't cry or fuss, yawned and fell asleep. She was really good-natured.
Xiao Jinran looked at Wen Nianruan: "Let the child stay with you to take care of me. I don't worry about the others."
Wen Nianruan looked at the little baby in his arms and thought for a moment: "Okay."
Maybe it’s because I’m going to be a mother myself and I feel soft-hearted when I see children.
Late at night, Wen Nianruan returned to Fuhua Palace with the little princess in her arms. She also asked the palace staff to prepare a cradle specially.
The wet nurse followed her to Fuhua Palace and fed the little princess when she was hungry.
Wen Nianruan carried the child to his bedroom. Qiu Bai was afraid that the child would wake up in the middle of the night and disturb Wen Nianruan, so he thought of letting her take care of it. Wen Nianruan refused, and it felt more peaceful to let the child stay with her.
The next day.
The first thing Xiao Jinran did when he went to court in the morning was to clear out the Queen Mother's remnant party. The ministers in the court were bloodbathed, and all the Queen Mother's party were eradicated.
Even the Marquis Yong'an of Wende City was not spared.
Wen Decheng tried his best to distance himself from the relationship with the Queen Mother, but with Li Huachun's relationship, he couldn't.
In the end, Wende City was dismissed from his official position as Marquis and became an ordinary citizen.
But he was lucky to be able to save his life.
Wen Tingzhou was promoted to Lord Shangshu and became an important minister of the imperial court.
The Li family's entire family was confiscated. The Queen Mother's eldest brother, Li Xundong, was beheaded along with her three days later. All other family members were sent to the border areas, and even Li Yingshuang was not spared.
After Xiao Weifeng's death, Prince Wen's palace was gone and his property was confiscated.
Historical records record: In the early winter of November 1st, the 13th year of the Western Liang Dynasty, Emperor Shunyang went out to hunt and was seriously injured by an assassin. The Queen Mother took the opportunity to force the palace to rebel, but the attempt failed and the entire army was wiped out.
At noon, after the little princess finished her milk, Wen Nianruan asked the nanny to bring her over. She really liked this little girl.
She is very well-behaved, does not cry or fuss, and is very quiet at night. She only cries twice when she is hungry.
Wen Nianruan put her in the cradle and rocked her gently, while her sister-in-law stretched out her little hands and grabbed her randomly.
Wen Nianruan's eyes were smiling and very gentle: "You really look like your mother and concubine."
Her facial features are very similar to Su Wanyan's, and her temperament of neither crying nor making trouble is also similar to Su Wanyan's aloofness.
She laughed again: "When I grow up, I will be just like my mother-in-law, cool and arrogant, and have my own little temper."
In the afternoon, Xiao Jinran came over. He looked at the child and played with her little hand with his fingertips. She held Xiao Jinran's fingers firmly in her palm and bubbled in her little mouth.
Xiao Jinran's stern face became gentle, and his eyes were covered with soft light.
He really likes this child. Even if she is not a prince, it doesn't matter. Anyway, she is his first child and may be his only one.
Xiao Jinran said softly to Wen Nian: "I promised you that I will let you out of the palace after the Queen Mother is eradicated." According to the promise, he should let her go now. He narrowed his eyes with deep eyes: "Waiting for the Queen Mother Ceremony.
That day, please help me take care of Xi'er for a while, she is still young, and I don't feel comfortable handing her over to anyone else."
There are only more than twenty days left before the sealing ceremony.
Wen Nianruan pursed his lips and said calmly: "Okay, wait until the day of the Queen's Ceremony"
"I will definitely fulfill my promise."
Xiao Jinran's eyes darkened slightly. Before leaving, he glanced at Wen Nianruan's abdomen and his eyes became even darker.
The next day, Xiao Jinran issued an imperial edict, causing a sensation in the court.
Xiao Jinran made Xiao Muxi the crown princess.
The ministers must have strongly opposed it. There had been no exception for a woman to become emperor in Western Liang for hundreds of years. However, Xiao Jinran had already made up his mind and the ministers could not persuade him to come back.
Everyone sighed, will Xi Liang follow Bei He's example in the future? Bei He has always had women become emperors for hundreds of years.
After Wen Nianruan heard the news, he looked at the little baby in his arms and felt very complicated, because she would have to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the future, and the burden on her body would be as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Late at night, Yun Chenan came.
He looked at the little baby in the cradle and asked Wen Nianruan, "Will she make trouble with you?"
Her limp body was already weak, and he was afraid that this little girl would tire her.
Wen Nianruan smiled and said, "No, she is very good."
Yun Chenan stared at the little milk baby who had been silent all this time, and couldn't help but touch her face lightly. Bubbles popped up in the little milk baby's mouth.
As long as she is happy, she will blow bubbles.
Yun Chenan softened a little, then hugged Wen Nianruan in his arms and caressed her belly: "I hope she is also a daughter."
Wen Nianruan was amused: "Is my son bad?"
"My daughter is more well-behaved and popular."
In the past, Yun Chenan thought that either a daughter or a son was fine, but when he saw Xiao Muxi, he still thought that a daughter was better.
But it is not his decision to have a boy or a girl.
Wen Nianruan said: "The emperor came to see me in the afternoon and said that he would not let me leave the palace until the day of the conferment ceremony."
Yun Chenan frowned, "Okay, I can't leave during this period, and I have to help the emperor get rid of Yu Peng."
With Yu Hanyao in their hands, Yu Peng will definitely come to rescue him, and they must deal with Yu Peng by then.
After Yu Peng is eliminated, Xiao Jinran's side is completely settled.
the next day.
Feng Jinyan came to check Xiao Muxi's health. Because she was born prematurely and was not yet full term, her body was weaker than that of ordinary children, but she was still healthy.
At noon, Pei Yiqing came into the palace to see Wen Nianruan.
She said with a smile: "We are moving in the next two days. Your second brother was given a mansion, so we will move to our new home."
Wen Nianruan knew that Wen Tingzhou would be promoted to minister and would have his own mansion, so she said, "I'll go take a look at your new home."
