Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 488: Zhen Mi: Your Majesty has two plans for one thing, I already knew it

When Liu Xie saw his son for the first time, he wanted to hold him in his arms and take a closer look at him, but he didn't expect that the boy would start crying as soon as he left Zhen Mi's arms.

This made him feel a little embarrassed.

Zhen Mi said with a bit of embarrassment: "Jue'er is probably shy about strangers. Your Majesty should get closer to him in the future."

Lü Lingqi, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Majesty, you are holding the child in the wrong way. I have asked Ying'er's nurse for advice. She told me that this is the right way to hold the child."

As Lu Lingqi spoke, she took Liu Jue from Liu Xie's arms and began to demonstrate the posture and techniques of holding a child.

Sure enough, Liu Jue stopped crying soon after she took him from Liu Xie's arms.

"Let me try."

Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and he took the child again, hugging him like Lu Lingqi.

It has to be said that Lu Lingqi is a woman who has taken care of children before, so she has rich experience. After Liu Xie held the child according to the movements she taught him, the child stopped crying.

"Sister Lu is really amazing."

Zhen Mi couldn't help but say in surprise upon seeing this, and looked towards Lu Lingqi with eyes full of admiration.

Lu Lingqi smiled and said, "After all, I have been taking care of children for such a long time, so I have learned some methods to a certain extent."

"It's not easy to take care of a child. You have to learn it well. You can't always let the nanny take care of the child, otherwise the child will not be close to you when he grows up."

Zhen Mi became nervous when she heard this, and said in a panic, "Is there such a saying? I, I have always let the child's wet nurse take care of the child."

"Then sister, you must be careful in the future."

Lu Lingqi's expression became serious, and she pulled Zhen Mi aside and said seriously, "Children don't know anything, they become close to whoever they spend more time with."

"Jue'er is still young now. As his mother, I naturally need to take care of him more. It will be fine when he grows up a little bit."

"let me tell you……"

When it comes to children, Lu Lingqi immediately opened up and chattered non-stop to Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi's pretty face was full of seriousness and concentration. She nodded while listening to Lu Lingqi, and almost took out a pen and paper to write it down.

As for Liu Xie, he was standing by like a wooden stake, holding the child, and was completely ignored by his two concubines.

"Sure enough, a woman becomes a different person after giving birth."

Liu Xie sighed helplessly in his heart. It seems that this principle is applicable both in the future and in ancient times.

He looked down at the child in his arms and found that the boy was smiling at him, with a pair of clear big eyes blinking, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.

Seeing this, Liu Xie wanted to reach out and tease him, but suddenly he felt a warmth spreading in his chest, which made his face change instantly.

"Could it be..."

Liu Xie felt something was wrong and quickly looked down at the swaddling clothes. Sure enough, he saw a large water stain on the swaddling clothes, and even his chest was not spared.

This brat actually peed in his arms!
……

Half an hour later, Zhaoyang Palace.

With the help of Zhen Mi, Liu Xie wiped his body clean and changed his clothes, while Lu Lingqi also changed Liu Jue's diaper.

Seeing that Liu Jue was still smiling at him, Liu Xie said unhappily: "This stinky boy peed on me the first time we met. There is no one in the world who is braver than him."

"Fortunately, I even had a craftsman make a longevity lock for him, and planned to give it to him when we met. Now it seems that I have to give it to him later so that he can learn his lesson."

Zhen Mi tied Liu Xie's belt and smiled when she heard this: "Your Majesty is a king, why would you bother with a child?"

"Besides, Jue'er is only two months old and doesn't know much. Even if Your Majesty teaches him, he won't understand."

"Your Majesty has a broad mind. Don't take this little thing to heart."

Zhen Mi coaxed in a gentle voice.

It's just like coaxing a child.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie could not help but look at Zhen Mi and said in a somewhat strange tone, "Why do I feel that my beloved concubine has changed a lot after not seeing her for a while?"

The change he was talking about was not in appearance, but in character.

In the past, Zhen Mi was a completely love-brained naive girl who needed him to coax her.

But now Zhen Mi has matured a lot, and even coaxed him in return. Could this be the overflow of maternal love?

"Have it?"

Zhen Mi was stunned. She didn't feel that she had changed in any way.

Liu Xie just said it casually and did not continue on this topic. He turned to Lu Lingqi and said, "My beloved concubine, please take Jue'er to your palace to rest for a while. I have something to say to Concubine Zhen."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Lingqi nodded, picked up Liu Jue, and left Zhaoyang Palace.

The other palace servants also withdrew.

Only Liu Xie and Zhen Mi were left in the hall.

Zhen Mi's pretty face flushed, and she said shyly: "Your Majesty, it's still daytime, it's not a good idea..."

Although she missed Liu Xie very much, it was a bit too hasty to be intimate with him in the palace during the day.

"What's wrong with saying a few words?"

Liu Xie asked in confusion, "Is there anything wrong with talking during the day? I have never heard of such a rule in the palace."

"what?"

Zhen Mi was stunned, and asked in disbelief, "Really, really talking?"

"What else? What did my beloved think it was?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Zhen Mi's eyes were wandering, she looked around and talked about other things, but she felt a little lost in her heart.

But she quickly adjusted her mood and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything you want to discuss with me in private without Sister Lu?"

Lu Lingqi and Liu Xie have a very good relationship, and he also has a good relationship with her. Logically speaking, there is nothing to be shy about between the three of them.

"Not avoiding her,"

Liu Xie shook his head and said, "It's just that I want to have a good talk with my beloved concubine about this matter, because it is related to the agreement between me and my beloved concubine."

Zhen Mi was stunned when she heard this. She was very smart and quickly associated something with Liu Xie's words.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about... establishing a queen?"

There was only one agreement between her and Liu Xie that was worth mentioning so formally.

That is the matter of establishing a queen.

When Liu Xie was still held hostage by Yuan Shao, he promised her that he would make her his queen after unifying the world.

Now that the world has been unified, Empress Fu died due to a fire in the palace not long ago, and the position of Empress has become vacant again.

The matter of establishing a queen naturally has to be put on the agenda.

"Yes."

Liu Xie nodded and said to Zhen Mi sincerely, "My beloved concubine has been by my side since I was a nobody, and has helped me with all the strength of the family. She played an indispensable role in my defeat of Yuan Shao."

"How could I forget this contribution of my beloved concubine?"

"Now that the world is unified, it is time to fulfill my promise. This is what I want to discuss with my beloved concubine today."

Zhen Mi holds a very important place in Liu Xie's heart.

Although he approached Zhen Mi because of her beauty and background at first, as time went by, he really fell in love with this woman who, although easily jealous, always stood by him and considered everything for him. "Your Majesty..."

Feeling the tenderness and love in Liu Xie's eyes, Zhen Mi's eyes instantly turned red and she was about to cry.

Liu Xie took Zhen Mi's hand, and after much hesitation, he finally said, "But... I cannot give you the position of Queen."

Zhen Mi was stunned and stared at Liu Xie blankly.

Liu Xie did not dare to meet her gaze and said, "After all, Zhen has committed a serious crime. If I make my beloved concubine the queen, it will inevitably cause criticism."

"So I intend to make Concubine Lu the queen."

"But I know that the crime committed by Zhen is not your fault, my beloved concubine, so I want to make Jue'er the crown prince as compensation to you, my beloved concubine."

Liu Xie said all the words in one breath.

This was a decision he made after careful consideration. He did not consult Guo Jia and Jia Xu, but made it on his own.

The reason for not making Zhen Mi the queen was certainly not as simple as the fact that Zhen had committed a serious crime.

Zhen's crime has been determined. It was characterized as corruption, not rebellion.

This sin can actually be big or small.

Even if he made Zhen Mi the queen, no one would say anything, because Zhen Mi already had a son.

The key issue is that he had made two promises, one to Lu Bu and the other to Zhen Mi, and both aspects need to be considered.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, he decided to give the position of queen to Lu Lingqi and the position of crown prince to his child with Zhen Mi.

Although this was not a very appropriate approach, it was the best solution he could think of.

After saying these words, Liu Xie began to think in his heart how to coax her later.

But... I'm afraid it won't be easy to coax her this time.

But what he never expected was that Zhen Mi did not cry after hearing what he said, but just sighed softly.

"As I guessed, His Majesty has given the throne to Sister Lu."

Liu Xie looked up at Zhen Mi in surprise.

"what?"

Seeing Liu Xie's gaze, Zhen Mi said helplessly, "There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Your Majesty has made promises to me and Lord Wen at the same time. I already know about it."

"Sister Lu is a person who can't keep secrets. She once told me about the promise your majesty made to Lord Wen, but I never made it public."

Lu Lingqi was simple-minded and did not know that Liu Xie had also promised Zhen Mi, so after giving birth to Liu Ying, she discussed this matter with Zhen Mi in private.

Lu Lingqi frankly said that she would not compete with her for the position of queen, and would also persuade her father to give up his obsession with the positions of queen and crown prince, so that she could rest assured.

It was also at that time that Zhen Mi found out that Liu Xie had made two identical promises to Zhen and Lu Bu.

But she never told anyone about this.

Even Lu Lingqi didn't say anything.

Because she knew that this matter not only concerned the emperor's face, but also the stability of the court, and it must not be known to outsiders.

"Your Majesty, I understand. After all, Your Majesty had nothing else at the time. Only by making this promise can Lord Wen return to his heart."

"It would be good to let Sister Lu be the queen. She has a straightforward personality and a simple mind, and she can get along well with all the concubines in the harem."

"If she becomes the queen, the harem will be safe and secure, and your majesty will have answered the promise made to Lord Wen."

Zhen Mi smiled gently and said to Liu Xie.

After listening to this, Liu Xie's mind went blank and he had only one thought in his mind - Zhen Mi... actually knew about this a long time ago?

For a moment, Liu Xie was silent.

Countless prepared words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter a single word.

After a long while, Liu Xie looked at Zhen Mi and said with a complicated expression: "You... don't blame me?"

Zhen Mi shook her head and smiled, "If it were a few years ago, I might have resented Your Majesty, but not now."

"Because Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, you are responsible for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and sometimes you have to do extraordinary things."

"My relatives have now declined and lost all their power, but Lord Wen has made great military achievements and has become the pillar of the Han Dynasty."

"Your Majesty could have ignored me and waited until Sister Lu gave birth to a prince before making him the crown prince. But Your Majesty did not do so and chose to make Jue'er the crown prince. Doesn't this show how much Your Majesty loves me?"

"In this case, why should I blame your Majesty?"

"I am very happy now, really, Your Majesty, I am very happy."

"Because Your Majesty loves me so deeply."

Zhen Mi's eyes were as gentle as water, filled with deep happiness and sweetness, and she leaned her head gently in Liu Xie's arms.

Just like when Liu Xie hugged her for the first time.

Liu Xie's hands were suspended in the air, he wanted to hug Zhen Mi tightly in his arms, but he didn't have the courage.

A tear welled up in the corner of his eyes.

Zhen Mi raised her head, stretched out her jade finger and rubbed the corner of Liu Xie's eyes, and said with a sly smile: "I haven't seen your majesty cry for a long time."

"nonsense."

Liu Xie turned his head away, wiped his face with his hand and said, "I am the emperor. How can an emperor shed tears easily?"

"It's just that the wind is a bit strong today, and it blinded my eyes."

Zhen Mi pretended not to hear the heavy nasal tone in Liu Xie's voice, nor did she ask where the wind in the hall came from, and continued to snuggle in his arms.

After a long time, Liu Xie adjusted his mood.

Zhen Mi's words really moved him deeply.

After struggling with conspiracies and intrigues for so many years, his heart had unknowingly become cold and cruel.

But only Zhen Mi maintained the purest liking and love for him from beginning to end, and it never changed.

What more could one ask for in life if one has such a perfect match?

Thinking of this, Liu Xie embraced Zhen Mi and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will announce to all civil and military officials that Jue'er will be made the crown prince."

"But I do owe you this matter. If you have any other requests, please feel free to ask me. I will do my best to satisfy you."

He gave Lu Bu supreme honor and the position of general as compensation for his position as crown prince, but he didn't know how to make it up to Zhen Mi.

He couldn't possibly re-employ Zhen.

"Is what your majesty said true?"

Zhen Mi raised her head and said with shining eyes.

Liu Xie nodded heavily and said, "I am the Son of Heaven. My words are golden. How can I go back on my word? My beloved concubine, just say it... Hmm? My beloved concubine, what are you doing?"

Zhen Mi pulled Liu Xie towards the bedroom. Upon hearing this, she turned her head to look at him and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Isn't it true that anything your majesty says can satisfy me?"

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then he said awkwardly: "My dear, it's still daytime, it's not a good idea..."

"what is the relationship!"

Zhen Mi didn't allow him to say anything and dragged Liu Xie into the bedroom.

In this way, the candlelight in Zhaoyang Palace stayed on all night.
