Chapter 262 He is my own son

"Let's see who dares!"

Tao Yanyan shouted angrily, "Empress Defei, there was indeed a small conflict between the two children in the elementary school today, but Jin'an definitely did not injure the eldest prince's forehead. The teacher was there at the time, and the other children were also there, and they are all witnesses. Empress Defei can send someone to investigate tomorrow."

Concubine De snorted coldly: "How did the eldest prince's forehead get broken? Could it be that a prince would falsely accuse him?"

Defei glared at Xiao Jinan, and Xiao Jinan's eyes turned red with grievance.

Tao Yanyan held Jin'an's hand and looked at the eldest prince beside Concubine De: "When the eldest prince graduated from elementary school, his forehead was fine. How come it was broken after returning to Yongxing Palace? Only the eldest prince himself knows."

The eldest prince shrank back and bit his lip. "Yes, it was He Jinan who hit me. He pushed me when I was not prepared, and I hit my head. Wuwuwu... My head hurts so much!"

The eldest prince hid in Defei's arms while crying.

Concubine De was extremely distressed and hurried to comfort her son. She then looked at Tao Yanyan angrily and said, "Yu'er is your majesty's only son now. How dare this lowly person you raised who came from nowhere hurt him? I will never give up today!"

Tao Yanyan protected little Jin'an behind him: "Jin'an is your Majesty's son. No one can throw dirty water on him for something he hasn't done!"

"Oh." Concubine De sneered, "Your Majesty's son? How dare you say that! You just brought this little beggar back from the people, don't think that others don't know his background! A pheasant actually wants to fly to the tree and become a phoenix, is he worthy of it?"

"Of course he deserves it!" He Linzhang's unhappy voice came from the outer hall. Defei and Tao Yanyan both stood facing the door, respectfully welcoming the emperor.

After He Linzhang brought Eunuch Zhang in, he raised his hand and said, "Get up." Then he sat down in the main seat.

De Fei wiped her tears and pushed the eldest prince forward: "Your Majesty, you came at the right time. The second prince broke Yu'er's forehead."

Xiao Jinan's eyes were red and he bit his lips to endure it.

Tao Yanyan held Xiao Jinan's hand and told him the whole story. After all, something that he had not done should never be slandered.

He Linzhang said, "De Fei, you feel sorry for Yu'er, but you can't accuse others without evidence. It's getting late today, so you can go to the elementary school tomorrow to investigate thoroughly."

Defei wanted to say something, but He Linzhang said, "Also, in this palace from now on, I don't want to hear any slander about Jin'an's background. Jin'an is my own son."

After He Linzhang finished speaking, he looked at Concubine De seriously and said, "Now that the Queen is about to give birth, Concubine De, you will assist in managing the six palaces. You need to rectify the atmosphere in the palace. Jin'an is a prince, how can his identity be questioned? Don't you people below me accept the decision of me and the Queen Mother?"

Defei immediately apologized, "Yes, I was so angry that I lost my mind. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly, and Defei was still very angry.

"Okay, if you want to find out the truth, go find it yourself tomorrow. Let the imperial physician take a good look at Yu'er tonight." He Linzhang said, "I have something else to do in the morning, so I'll leave first. Concubine Tao and Jin'an can come with me."

Tao Yanyan took the child and followed the emperor. Concubine De followed behind her, her face almost distorted with anger.

"Mother, mother." The eldest prince and others walked away, and said hesitantly: "Or, mother, don't go to the elementary school to investigate." The voice became lower and lower. When Defei saw this, her heart skipped a beat.

"Yu'er, tell your mother the truth, how did you get your forehead injured?" Defei said seriously.

The eldest prince felt uneasy. Today, his father came and said directly that He Jinan was his biological son, which really scared him. He and He Jinan had a fight in elementary school because they made fun of each other's identity. If his father knew about it, he would definitely punish him.

Moreover, on the way back, he accidentally fell in the Imperial Garden and broke his forehead. The people around him begged him not to blame them for the broken forehead, but he changed his mind and pushed it onto He Jinan.

Seeing his mother's angry expression, He Yu burst into tears: "I'm sorry, mother. I accidentally fell on the way back and hurt my forehead. I was worried that mother would be angry, so..."

Concubine De held her forehead with her hand. She really didn't expect that such a well-behaved and cute child would actually lie to her!

"Where are the people who followed you? Are they all dead?" In a rage, Concubine De beat the two palace servants, a nanny and a palace maid who served the eldest prince with twenty boards.

There was ghostly howling in Yongxing Palace.

In Changle Palace, the eldest princess had been waiting for the two of them. Only when she saw them return safely did her anxious face relax.

Tonight, I heard my father say that I was his biological son. I don't know why, but little Jin'an was very happy, happier than eating ten roasted chestnuts. He seemed to be a different person when he came back. He chattered with everyone like a little trumpet spirit, and his mouth was very sweet.

The eldest princess rolled her eyes again and shook her head, "Jin'an, you can't talk too much as a prince. You have to learn to be reserved, understand?"

The eldest princess, who is very methodical and self-disciplined, acts like a little adult in front of her younger brother.

Little Jin'an tilted his head: "But mother likes me to talk a lot. In order to train me to talk, mother has a storytelling competition with me every night. Mother said that talking a lot can stimulate my brain. I am so smart because I talk a lot and it stimulates me."

Tao Yanyan on the side: "..."

It has to be said that after having two children, Tao Yanyan felt that Changle Palace was really lively. The two little ones came and went, chattering non-stop, making her, a soul from another world, feel a bit of the fireworks of ordinary people's life in this deep palace.

The next day when he went to the elementary school, Tao Yanyan waited a little longer on purpose, but he only saw the nanny bringing in the eldest prince, but did not see the figure of Concubine De.

Tao Yanyan narrowed his eyes and snorted in his heart: "It seems that she knows the truth. Since she doesn't ask the master for confirmation, let's go."

Recently, the workshops are being completed one after another, and the noodle workshop that has been built is also on track. The two children are also under the supervision of kindergarten during the day, so Tao Yanyan has nothing to do.

Thinking of what the empress dowager said when she left the palace, that the emperor had been too busy recently, and she herself was too busy too, and paid too little attention to him, Tao Yanyan decided that she would accompany the emperor well today, and let him feel the warmth of someone's consideration and care.

After He Linzhang left the court, he saw that lunch had not been served yet, so he glanced at Eunuch Zhang and asked, "Why is lunch late today?"

Eunuch Zhang smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. "Your Majesty, Empress Tao sent someone to say that she personally prepared lunch for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please move to Changle Palace for your meal."

When He Linzhang heard this, he wondered if this was the first time the concubine had come to invite him. She had never been treated so well in the past.
