The palace wall reflects the moon

Jiang Zong knelt on the ground, his head lowered and silent.

Shen Xiao said helplessly: "Get up."

He remained motionless.

Shen Xiao said: "Jiang Zong, I have said that I hope you and I will talk about everything."

Jiang Zong finally spoke: "Your Majesty, I have heard others talk about my mother's right and wrong. I value my mother's reputation very much. Your Majesty and my mother are like this... I'm afraid that the world will look down on my mother."

Shen Xiao thought for a while.

"What you said makes sense, I should ask her to give me a name."

Jiang Zong raised his head in surprise: "????"

Shen Xiao smiled and said, "Your mother and I will discuss this matter, so you don't have to worry."

Jiang Zong knew that the emperor was a good talker, but this result did not satisfy him.

"Your Majesty, my mother was Princess Xuan..."

"Earlier, she was also my fiancée." Shen Xiao said.

Jiang Zong opened his eyes in disbelief, and it took him a while to digest this.

"My mother and the emperor...so...the old relationship has rekindled?"

"It can't be considered a rekindling of old love," Shen Xiao said calmly, "We have always been in love, there is no talk of rekindling."

There is always only each other, and the feelings have never dissipated.

Next, Jiang Zong was still a little absent-minded. He fell asleep on the desk before noon. He had not slept well these past few nights.

In a daze, he felt the person on the dragon chair stand up and walk towards him. Suddenly, he felt warm and something was draped on his shoulders.

The man's steps were light.

Jiang Zong was actually awake. He opened his eyes a little and secretly glanced at the emperor.

The emperor sat back on the dragon chair and was much more cautious when turning over the papers, as if he was afraid of waking him up.

Jiang Zong could feel that the emperor treated him well.

I don't know if it's because he is his nephew or because he likes his mother.

After a while, Jiang Zong opened his eyes, sat up straight, took off the dragon-patterned cloak on his body, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I fell asleep and it was unbecoming of a royal servant... Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Shen Xiao looked at him gently and said, "There is something that troubles me. Please help me think of something."

Jiang Zong said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"A woman gave birth to my child while she was someone else's wife. Now I want to tell the world and let the child recognize her ancestors, but I don't want to hurt this woman's reputation. What should I do?"

Jiang Zong was startled.

To put it bluntly, isn't it just... fried?Why did the emperor tell him?Is this something he can listen to?

Jiang Zong was greatly shocked, but he said calmly: "The emperor wants to make someone a prince. There is no need to explain to the people."

Shen Xiao looked at him with deep eyes: "But I want to make him the crown prince. The courtiers and the people will definitely get to the bottom of the crown prince's origin."

Jiang Zong was sweating profusely.

This is even more not a topic that he can participate in.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid...The Prime Minister is very resourceful. Why don't you summon the Prime Minister for discussion?"

Shen Xiao thought that what he said was clear enough, and Jiang Zong should be able to understand who the child he was talking about was.

Judging from his slightly panicked reaction, he probably guessed it, right?
Shen Xiao gave him some time to digest: "Go back and think about it."

As soon as Jiang Zong returned home, he said to Jiang Qingyue: "Mother, you should find a way to make the emperor dislike you."

Jiang Qingyue: "????"

Jiang Zong said tangledly: "Although the emperor has a good temper and is like a tree facing the wind, mother, please don't get interested in sex or covet his power. He is the emperor after all..."

Jiang Qingyue wondered: "Are you very free?" You actually took care of my mother's affairs.

Jiang Zong persuaded with sincerity: "Do you know? The emperor has taken wives and children. This is the emperor...Mother, you haven't been loved by a man for a long time, so..."

Jiang Qingyue slapped him on the head.

"What are you talking about? Why is your mother no longer loved?"

With her beauty, there are so many men showing her favor to her every year, how could she not be loved by anyone?

Jiang Zong curled his lips: "Anyway, don't get caught up in it, I'm afraid my mother will get hurt..."

Jiang Qingyue knew that he was thinking about herself and couldn't bear to talk to him anymore.

What's more, that wife who took advantage of others and gave birth to a child seemed to be talking about her... When she was pregnant with Jiang Zong, she did not reconcile with King Xuan.

Jiang Qingyue asked him: "What did you hear?"

Jiang Zong nodded.

Jiang Qingyue took a deep breath: "Listen, your mother and I were wrong to use King Xuan to fake our marriage. It was wrong to have an affair with the emperor when we were Princess Xuan. But my mother didn't hide anything from King Xuan, and she wasn't afraid of the world's criticism. If you look down on me, you can't You can teach me a few words. It is indeed against etiquette, but I have never regretted that incident in the past ten years."

She has always been willing.

Whether it was the spring breeze or the existence of this child.

Jiang Zong was petrified on the spot after hearing these words.

There was actually his mother among the wives the emperor had taken by force?
-
Jiang Zong was already upset enough, and Shen Yi was still pestering him everywhere.

He really didn't like being stalked and beaten by Shen Yi, but the other party was a princess, so it was hard for him to tell the truth.

Finally, when he was stopped by Shen Yi by Taiye Pond that day, Jiang Zong said: "Princess, I have no talent and virtue, and I am really not worthy of the princess.

Shen Yi understood immediately after hearing this: "What do you mean, my father won't let you marry me?"

It's not that he won't give up. What the emperor means is that he doesn't have to be responsible for Shen Yi.

The emperor checked and told Jiang Zong that the person who knocked him out and told him to lie with Shen Yi that day was from Shen Yi's palace.

Jiang Zong faced Shen Yi and sighed deeply: "Princess, why don't you ask the emperor?"

How could Shen Yi be qualified to meet the emperor? She never remembered being alone with her father since she was a child.

"I don't care, you want to marry me."

Jiang Zong was helpless: "Why is it me? There are so many children of princes, I..."

Shen Yi's face turned red: "They are not as good-looking as you."

After saying that, Shen Yi ran away.

Jiang Zong stood there blankly, a little messy.
-
The eldest prince Shen Zhe made several appointments with Jiang Zong, but Jiang Zong found various reasons to avoid them.

The courtiers urged the emperor to continue to spread the branches and establish a prince to stabilize the country. As the only prince, Shen Zhe seemed to outsiders to be the prince, but he was uneasy in his heart and won the hearts of the people everywhere.

He was looking for Jiang Zong just because he wanted Jiang Zong to be used by him.

Jiang Zong thought that the emperor was not yet in his prime, and the eldest prince had acted too hastily. In addition, the emperor had said that he would make someone else the crown prince, so he ignored the eldest prince.

This happened several times, which annoyed Shen Zhe.

On this day, Jiang Zong was walking by Taiye Pond when he was suddenly pushed into the pond.

When he woke up in a daze, he heard the voices of several people in the room.

Concubine Chu cried and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please spare his life. He has called you my father for more than ten years. He is sincerely filial to you, but he was just confused for a moment..."

The emperor's tone was extremely cold: "Your good son feels that his life is too peaceful and he is tired of living."

Jiang Zong sat up and saw Concubine Chu kowtowing to his mother. "Qingyue, please, for the sake of our past friendship, let my child go. He will never dare to do it again..."

Jiang Qingyue sighed: "Chu Ying, my child almost died. If something happens to Zong'er, can I still live?" (End of Chapter)
