The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, after the banquet, Princess Yunlan invited Shi Anxia to the harem to appreciate the flowers and accompany her to visit her mother.

After receiving Emperor Mingde's promise, she became much more lively. "I will go to see my mother in a while. If my sister is free, will you come with me? It is the time to enjoy the lotus in the palace now. The lotus flowers are blooming everywhere. If my mother sees how lovely my sister is, she will be very happy."

Shi Anxia smiled lightly, "Okay."

Emperor Mingde's eyelids twitched slightly, and he felt that something was wrong.

He already knew Shi Anxia's style of doing things.

If it were ordinary social customs, Shi Anxia would definitely not be willing to waste time, unless they really hit it off at first sight.

But anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Shi Anxia and Yunlan had nothing in common, so how could they hit it off at first sight?

Now there is an invitation and a response... Emperor Mingde thought of Concubine Li who lost her life because of her impatience and went out for a trip, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

To be honest, as a father, no matter how distant he is from his children, he would not want his daughter to make an unforgivable mistake and then be punished for it.

When Shi Anxin made such a big mistake, Shi Chengyi was willing to be punished for him at the cost of being demoted, and Emperor Mingde agreed, because he also had the heart of a father.

He was wondering, could it be that in that dream, his daughter had also committed an unforgivable mistake?

When Emperor Mingde thought of this, he spoke out to stop her, "Xia'er, come with me to the Imperial Study first. I have something to ask you."

He had to find out the reason, and if it was really unforgivable, then he would talk about it. He had to do it with his own flesh and blood. First of all, he didn't want Shi Anxia to be plotted against, and at the same time, he didn't want his daughter to have any thoughts and lose her life.

Shi Anxia did not go against Emperor Mingde's wishes and just responded meekly, "Yes."

Princess Yunlan also said generously, "Since my father wants to discuss something with my sister, I will go to appreciate the flowers with my sister another day."

Shi Anxia still responded warmly, "Okay, thank you for your concern, eldest sister."

Emperor Mingde suddenly felt that he was overthinking. Seeing that the two of them were very friendly, he had recently been guessing and overthinking because he could not "dream".

After Xiao Yong and his sister walked away, Shi Anxia asked Cen Yuan, "Will my husband wait for me to go home together?"

Cen Yuan did not shy away from the question, "I have an appointment with the envoy of Liang State to visit the movable type printing. I will come to the palace to pick you up after I am done with my work, okay?"

Shi Anxia thought about it and shook her head, "No, I can't say much here and then I can go home. You don't have to come pick me up, just go about your business."

Only Emperor Mingde and Shi Anxia were left in the imperial study.

Shi Anxia laughed, "Why does the emperor feel sorry for giving movable type printing to Liang State?"

Emperor Mingde was angry, "That's not the case. I'm just angry that your husband is not from our Beiyi."

Shi Anxia tidied up the desk in the imperial study room in a familiar manner, then looked up at Emperor Mingde with confusion in her eyes, "Father, sometimes I feel that the prince consort... doesn't seem to be from Liang either."

Emperor Mingde smiled, "If you say so, I can understand. Generally speaking, Cen Yuan is actually still a Beiyi person. Think about it, he is only eighteen years old. He has lived in Beiyi for ten years, and only has eight years left for Liang State. Hahahahaha... In this sense, he is my subject."

Shi Anxia smiled helplessly.

That's clearly not what she meant.

She felt that Cen Yuan must have some secrets. For example, movable type printing, where did Cen Yuan learn it from? Who was Bi Sheng?

She had thought this was Liang Guo's wisdom, but now it seemed that was not the case. Liang Guo still had to learn in the North Wing.

So where is the origin of movable type printing?

Also, who is Mr. Liang?

Furthermore, when Cen Yuan looked at the flag that day, she burst into tears, and it was obviously not because of the existence of Liang State.

She didn't even think that Cen Yuan had any deep feelings for Liang State. It was more like a responsibility.

Shi Anxia was absorbed in thought when she heard Emperor Mingde asking questions.

"Yunlan and Yonger, did they do something wrong in their previous lives?"

Shi Anxia was stunned and smiled slyly, "Father, don't you think you can dream? Why are you asking me what I am doing?"

Emperor Mingde was furious: "My dream sometimes comes true and sometimes doesn't."

"Oh..." Shi Anxia suppressed her smile, but couldn't help but laughed out loud again.

Emperor Mingde also laughed, "Bad girl! You learned bad things from your husband. You were not like this before..."

Shi Anxia shook his head, "No, that's because... now I really regard the emperor as my father, so I dare to talk back."

Emperor Mingde felt warm in his heart, and then he thought of Tang Chujun. His ears turned red, and he quickly changed the subject, "Why did you accept Yunlan's invitation? You clearly have no intention of getting close to her."

"Is your son's behavior so obvious?" Shi Anxia sat down and replied, "In my previous life, your son had no contact with his brother and sister."

After hearing this, Emperor Mingde felt relieved.

There is no intersection. These words at least show that the brother and sister have not done anything wrong.

After hearing Shi Anxia's account of the tragic deaths of the brother and sister, Emperor Mingde couldn't help but hate the Empress Dowager even more.

Shi Anxia said, "I feel that Princess Yunlan intends to get close to me. Maybe... she thinks I have a say in front of the emperor, or she has other intentions? I'm not sure, so I accepted the invitation."

Emperor Mingde was relieved, "I was worrying too much."

"Father, in Concubine Jing's previous life...she went mad when she learned that her children's bodies were abandoned in the wilderness. Later, well, later she was secretly taken away by Prince Yongle. I found out about this by accident."

Shi Anxia thought that Emperor Mingde would be shocked, but unexpectedly he sighed heavily, "If I knew that she and Prince Yongle had expressed their feelings to each other before entering the palace, I would never... have children with her."

Prince Yongle is the uncle of Emperor Mingde. He now lives in his fiefdom and is not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.

Shi Anxia actually guessed it, "So father wanted to let Concubine Jing leave the palace to find Prince Yongle, so he found an excuse to let her go back to her fiefdom with the second brother?"

Emperor Mingde nodded solemnly, "Concubine Jing is the most peaceful person. But she is the Empress Dowager's person, so I don't need to worry about her. I just think that she is just a victim of the family and a pitiful person."

The most extraordinary emperor in the history! The more I know him, the better I think he is. Shi Anxia has sat in that position before, and knows how cold and hard the mind of the person in that position is. If he doesn't want it, he will never allow others to get involved.

Just like when Concubine Li entered the palace, if it was another emperor, he would have already had his hands on her long ago. How could he have waited for more than ten years to reveal the truth?

As for Concubine Jing, Emperor Mingde actually chose to fulfill her wish.

In fact, from the perspective of the emperor, this was a very embarrassing accomplishment. If people knew about this, I wonder how the unofficial history books would describe this emperor.

Shi Anxia suddenly felt warm in her heart, "Father, you are very good. You are really a very good person."

Emperor Mingde shook his head and smiled suddenly, "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely not let Shi Chengyi meet your mother first. I must go to your mother to propose marriage first."

Caught off guard, Shi Anxia said, "..."

Do you want to listen to what you are saying? If you ask my mother for marriage, I will be left out.

Shi Anxia couldn't help laughing, "Let's talk about it in the next life."

Emperor Mingde understood: Don't worry about it in this life...
