Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 285 Adoption Test

Xie Wuji blushed. Only in Lin Junxue's Zhonghe Palace could he truly be himself and have the innocence and shyness that a child of his age should have.

You don't have to hide your emotions like you do outside.

Qiao Xin served Xie Wuji the tea he liked, smiling.

"Your Highness, you have come at the right time today. Your Highness's kitchen has made lotus cakes and green rice dumplings, both of which are your favorites. Originally, Your Highness was going to send a maid to deliver them to the Prince's residence. Now, Your Highness, you can just use some right here, okay?"

Xie Wuji nodded and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qiaoxin."

Qiao Xin went down to prepare the cakes. Xie Wuji looked at the maids serving in the palace.

"Mother, why didn't I see Danzhen and Guyu? Where did they go?"

Lin Junxue said, "Danzhen went with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy things for the New Year outside the palace, Guyu went to Lanpin, Ziyi likes the sachets made by Guyu, Guyu went to Liuguang Pavilion to make some more, and they all went out."

Lin Junxue continued, "Lanpin said that you have been to Liuguang Pavilion to see the little guy Ziyi a lot these days. Lanpin said that Ziyi likes you to hold him. He giggles non-stop in your arms. He even peed on you two days ago."

Xie Wuji nodded

"My second brother did pee all over me two days ago, but it didn't smell. I think my second brother is very cute and lively."

After a pause, he continued, "My son, I like Second Prince very much."

Lin Junxue looked at Xie Wuji and nodded slightly.

"Lanpin said that only you can coax that little guy Ziyi well."

Lin Junxue thought this might be bloodline suppression.

If Xie Ziyi started crying, Shiwen and the wet nurse were sometimes helpless.

But as long as Wuji is there, there is no need to coax him, just hold him in his arms.

The little guy seemed to have been acupunctured and immediately stopped crying and started laughing.

Xie Wuji thought for a moment and said seriously, "Mother, I think my second brother is very well behaved."

Lin Junxue paused as she picked up the teacup.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xie Ziyi cried so loudly that it shook the earth, and could cry for a full half hour without stopping. Only Wuji could say that he was well-behaved.

Lin Junxue invited Xie Wuji to have dinner. As she had nothing to do in the afternoon, Lin Junxue asked Xie Wuji to stay for a while.

Coincidentally, Zhang Yuyan also came over, and the three of them chatted for a while and had some tea and snacks.

For the whole afternoon, the entire Zhonghe Palace was filled with laughter and was very lively.

Zhang Yuyan also pulled Xie Wuji to build a snowman for a while. They each built a snowman.

In the end, Zhang Yuyan's snowman was horrible.

Xie Wuji easily made a beautiful round snowman and decorated it with carrots and grapes.

Zhang Yuyan looked at the snowman she made and still forced herself to praise herself.

Lin Junxue praised her a few words in a supportive manner, and Zhang Yuyan felt a little happier.

During this period of time, Zhang Yuyan also raised Lin Junxue's favorability to 70. Now, she is not in a hurry to increase her favorability at all.

at night

As soon as Xie Yu arrived at Zhonghe Palace, he saw two completely different snowmen built in the courtyard.

He thought it was made by Lin Junxue. After asking Lin Junxue, he found out that the snowman was made by Zhang Yuyan and Xie Wuji respectively.

Xie Yu took the tea from Lin Junxue

"Wuji is my first prince, but his mother is of a very humble origin. The Grand Tutor praised Wuji several times in front of me, saying that he was smart. In the past, I indeed ignored this child."

Lin Junxue sneered in her heart

Xie Yu herself was born to the empress dowager's personal maid.

Now, they turn around and look down on Wuji's background, thinking that he is too humble.

Lin Junxue sat on the couch and said softly, "Your Majesty, although the eldest prince's mother is of low birth, he is still very filial. He always comes to pay his respects to me every now and then, even when it is snowing heavily and the roads are slippery. I am moved to see this. The eldest prince is indeed a kind and good child."

Xie Yu paused, put down the teacup and looked at Lin Junxue, his eyes deepened, and he pretended to speak unintentionally.

"Since Jun'er likes the eldest prince, how about I let him be raised under your name? Are you willing?"

Of course Lin Junxue was willing, but she knew that Xie Yu didn't mean it at all. It was just a test to see if she had the same intention.

If there is, the eldest prince may not even be able to set foot in her Zhonghe Palace again.

Xie Yu would not let her give birth, let alone have a prince in her name.

Lin Junxue shook her head

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is good, and I like him. It's fine for me to be closer to him on weekdays, but if the eldest prince is raised under my name, he will be the legitimate son. I am not a saint, and I have my own selfish desires. I would like to have a child of my own with Your Majesty, no matter if it is a boy or a girl. So, please don't think about it. If Your Majesty has this idea, you might as well consider other concubines. I will forget it."

Lin Junxue's reason for refusal was very straightforward

She deliberately revealed her selfish motives in order to make Xie Yu believe more that she really didn't want Xie Wuji to be supported by her.

Only in this way can Xie Yu's suspicion be dispelled.

From now on, even if Wuji gets close to Zhonghe Palace again, Xie Yu won't be suspicious.

Lin Junxue's words really successfully dispelled Xie Yu's suspicion, and he believed it without a doubt.

"Jun'er is right. This is not selfish. It's fine this way. I won't mention this matter in the future. If you like the eldest prince, just get closer to him."

In any case, in Xie Yu's heart, it would never be Xie Wuji's turn to sit on his throne.

Lin Junxue agreed with a smile, while Xie Yu played with the Buddhist beads in his hand.

He said in a deep voice, "By the way, after the New Year, I plan to promote Yan Zhaoyi to the second rank concubine, and give her the title of Consort Hui. Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu will also be promoted together. What do you think, Jun'er?"

Lin Junxue smiled

"Yan Zhaoyi comes from a famous family. She has been in the palace for a year and is favored by the emperor. She is also gentle and kind. She was canonized as a concubine of the second rank. The title Hui is also very good. As for Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu, since the emperor wants to promote their positions together, in my opinion, it is better to promote Jin Ronghua to Liyi and Shu Jieyu to Ronghua. As for the titles, they should remain as before."

Xie Yu wanted to promote Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu, but he still had to suppress this title.

There is a difference between having a title and not having a title.

Xie Yu thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, let's do as Jun'er said. I will issue an order tomorrow. As for the enthronement ceremony, apart from Yan Zhaoyi's, you can ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for the remaining Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu. You don't need to worry too much."

Lin Junxue nodded

"I understand, Your Majesty. Is there any news from the border? According to the time, my sister-in-law should have arrived at the border. I wonder how she is doing?"

Hearing this, Xie Yu's eyes darkened. The secret guard had already returned to report.

Ye Yushuang encountered several dangerous situations on the road, but she was able to escape danger every time. Yesterday, she had already arrived at Lin Xuxuan's place.
