Princess Hua'an looked at the baby in the swaddle and murmured.

"His eyebrows and eyes really look like his mother."

Speaking of the child's mother, Princess Hua'an couldn't help feeling nervous.

Ever since Xia Yuran was taken away by the people from Tianmen, she never saw Xia Yuran again. After the imperial court wiped out the rebel party, they never mentioned about Xia Yuran, which made Princess Hua'an very uneasy. .

She cautiously looked up at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Yuran is she okay?"

Luo Qinghan said softly: "According to the account of the head of the Tianmen Sect, Xia Yuran's pregnancy is very unstable, and it is already the limit to be able to give birth to the child safely. As for Xia Yuran himself, he died shortly after giving birth. gone."

Princess Hua'an opened her eyes little by little, tears welled up uncontrollably.

No matter how arrogant and domineering Xia Yuran used to be, she was the daughter of Princess Hua'an who was conceived in October, and she was a piece of Princess Hua'an's body.

How can she accept that now she is asked to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man? !

Her figure shook for a moment, almost fainting.

The little eunuch next to her quickly reached out to support her.

After Princess Hua'an stood firm, she pushed the little eunuch's hand away.

She wiped away her tears with her sleeve, trying to suppress the grief in her heart, and said with a sob.

"Your Majesty, I know that my matter has made you difficult. I am willing to be responsible for my actions. I only ask you to hold your hand high and save this child's life. He is just a child and doesn't understand anything. He is innocent."

Luo Qinghan said expressionlessly: "If I wanted to kill him, I would have already done it when I was in Youmen County, so why bring him back to the palace? Or, in my aunt's heart, I am just a newborn baby A villain who won't let you go?"

Princess Hua'an choked.

She lowered her head in shame: "Your Majesty is kind and generous, but I am too narrow."

In her opinion, anyone who can ascend to the throne must have blood on their hands, and Luo Qinghan is no exception.

People like them would definitely not put the life of a mere baby in their eyes. Instead of keeping this child, it would be better to kill him once and for all.

But he didn't expect that Luo Qinghan had no intention of poisoning this child.

Luo Qinghan didn't intend to talk too much with her, and said coldly: "I will stay in the palace for someone to raise this child, you can go back."

Princess Hua'an begged: "This child has no father and mother, and he may not be able to live well if he stays in the palace. Why don't you hand him over to me, and I can adopt him under the name of Yifei, so that he can live a happy life?" Acknowledge Yifei as a father, and he will be Yifei's eldest son from now on, and he will never hinder His Majesty again."

Luo Qing coldly smiled: "After all, you still don't believe me."

Princess Hua'an was at a loss for words.

She was indeed afraid that Luo Qinghan would not take care of the child wholeheartedly.

People in the palace used to praise the high and depress the low. When everyone knew that the child was not favored by the emperor in the future, they would definitely bully the child secretly. Such a small child may die if he is not careful. It is unknown whether he can grow up in such a harsh environment.

If this child can be adopted under Xia Yifei's name, he will be a member of the eldest princess' mansion in the future, and with the eldest princess' mansion protecting him, his life will definitely be much more comfortable than in the palace.

Luo Qinghan: "You can adopt this child to Xia Yifei if you want, but there is a condition, Xia Yifei cannot be named Wang Chengjue in the future."

Xia Yifei is the only legitimate son of Princess Hua'an, according to the rules, he can get favor through his mother's relationship in the future.

Once Princess Hua'an agrees to this condition, it means that the title of the county king will fly away.

Princess Hua'an was naturally unwilling to let her son suffer this grievance.

But judging by the attitude of the emperor, there will be no room for her to bargain.

She now has only two choices, either to keep her grandson in the palace, or to give up her son's title of county king.

In fact, even without a title, Xia Yifei could still pass the imperial examination to become an official.

But she is very aware of how much knowledge her son has.

Based on Xia Yifei's level, he could barely pass the Jinshi examination, but his ranking would definitely not be high.

According to the rules, ordinary Scholars are usually transferred out, and they will definitely not come back within three to five years.

For Princess Hua'an, who grew up in gold and jade, all the places except Shengjing were poor and remote. She could not allow her precious son to be sent to a remote and remote village as a small official.

She pursed her lips, and finally compromised, allowing the child to be carried away.

Luo Qinghan was not surprised by this result.

No matter how much this woman valued her grandson, it was not as important as his own children.

That's what she can't get rid of as a mother.

Princess Hua'an returned to the Princess Mansion.

Facing the worried gazes of the son-in-law and her son, Princess Hua'an twitched the corners of her mouth and forced a smile.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm fine."

The son-in-law and Xia Yifei still don't know about Princess Hua'an's collusion with Tianmen. They just think that Princess Hua'an's state of mind is very bad recently. When they asked her what happened, she refused to tell her. Both father and son were very worried about her.

She didn't know what she thought of, and said to her son in a tired tone.

"If you really like Lu Xinyao, then marry her."

In the past, she still wanted to find a good match for her son, but after the Tianmen rebellion, the emperor might not have a good impression of her family.

Now her family and the Lu family's weight in the emperor's heart should be almost the same.

From this point of view, Xia Yifei and Lu Xinyao are well-matched in another sense.

Xia Yifei didn't understand why his mother suddenly mentioned this matter.

He wanted to ask the reason, but Princess Hua'an didn't want to say more, she waved her hand: "You guys go to your work, I'm tired, I want to go and have a rest."

Princess Hua'an went to the small Buddhist hall alone.

This stay is a whole night.

When she walked out of the small Buddhist hall the next day, all her black hair had been seen, replaced by a blue-gray monk's hat.

She was wearing a round-neck and wide-sleeve Futian clothes, clasped her hands together, and bowed to the shocked son-in-law.

She can neither expose her collusion with the rebel party, embarrass the royal family, nor allow the emperor to forcibly dispose of her, so the best solution is for her to take the initiative to shave or become a monk.

In this way, the royal family's face can be preserved, and she can pay the price for her actions.

The best of both worlds.

The news that Princess Hua'an shaved her hair and became a nun soon spread throughout Shengjing City.

After Luo Qinghan learned about this, he didn't react too much. He asked someone to send a string of red sandalwood beads to Princess Hua'an, and by the way, someone told her a word.

"Your Majesty said that the child's future name will be Ye Lei."

Yelei means open and aboveboard.

The emperor hopes that when the child grows up, he can become an upright person.

Don't become like his father, who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Holding the Buddhist beads in both hands, Princess Hua'an murmured, "Ye Lei, Ye Lei, that's a good name."

She wrapped the beads around her right wrist, faced the direction of the palace, and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name."
