Chapter 7: The Sixth Princess Zhao Xihe
After dinner, Emperor Jingyuan took Xihe to the garden for a few laps to help digest the food, and then came back to feed the little girl medicine.

External injuries are easier to heal, but internal injuries are not easy to heal.

The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician was bitter, and the little girl was delicate. Without him watching over her, the palace maids were no match for the little girl and didn't even notice that the medicine had been spilled.

"Little Six, be good and drink another sip."

Emperor Jingyuan held the bowl, blew on it, and passed it to his little daughter's mouth.

Xihe kept shaking her head, "No, no, it's bitter, so bitter, the doctor is bad!"

"No! The disease can only be cured after taking the medicine." Emperor Jingyuan's face suddenly darkened.

You can indulge your child in anything at ordinary times, but never joke about his or her body.

As soon as Emperor Jingyuan frowned, his nature as a tyrant was exposed.

Xihe's eyes suddenly turned red, tears started to fall, "Wuwu, Daddy is also bad! Xiaoliu doesn't want Daddy anymore! Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu."

Emperor Jingyuan was at a loss for words. He immediately put down the medicine and comforted Xihe, "Okay, okay, I won't drink it."

Sanping stepped forward in response, "Your Majesty, what about this medicine?"

Emperor Jingyuan took a look at the black medicine, then looked at his crying little daughter in his arms, and said coldly: "A bunch of rubbish, tell the Imperial Hospital to make the medicine drinkable, otherwise they will all be killed!"

"Slave understands."

Sanping retreated with the medicine bowl in his hand, feeling extremely embarrassed.

This medicine doesn't taste good.

Forget it, let those people in the Imperial Hospital worry about it.

Emperor Jingyuan coaxed Xihe for a full quarter of an hour before she calmed down. The strict father's airs collapsed in just a few seconds.

It’s better not to behave properly.

Not long after, a servant came to report that Concubine Chen wanted to see her.

"Let the concubine come in."

When Concubine Chen entered the room, she saw Emperor Jingyuan teasing a little girl. Whose child was this?

"I have met your Majesty."

Zhao Xihe followed the line of sight of the crowd, his eyes suddenly widened, his lips slightly opened and closed, and he uttered two words softly, "Beauty!"

Concubine Chen was lazily and contented, with her chin propped up by her hand, her beautiful eyes raised, her eyebrows curved, her lips white, and a faint smile on her fair cheeks. She looked at the silly Zhao Xihe and couldn't help but chuckled, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

Emperor Jingyuan naturally noticed the infatuated look in his little princess' eyes and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, "You, you can't even walk when you see a beauty."

"Daddy, who is this beautiful sister?"

Emperor Jingyuan almost burst out laughing, "Silly girl, how can you call her sister? You should call her Empress Chen."

Concubine Chen raised her beautiful eyes, not looking frightened at all.

There are only two princesses in the palace, apart from the fourth princess, there is only the one in the cold palace.

Xihe stared at Concubine Chen without blinking, struggled for a few times, then jumped out of Emperor Jingyuan's arms, ran to Concubine Chen, opened her arms, and begged for a hug, "My beautiful lady, hug me~"

The smile on Concubine Chen's face became even wider. She glanced at the somewhat depressed Emperor Jingyuan, then picked up Xihe with a smile.

"Kid, what did you just say about me?" Concubine Chen covered her lips and chuckled, with a bit of pride in her expression.

"Beauty, you are so beautiful." Xihe looked at Concubine Chen infatuatedly, with his arms tightly around Concubine Chen's neck, "Beauty, you are as beautiful as a fairy. Xiaoliu likes you so much."

"You little girl just said that you loved your father the most. Why did you change your mind so quickly?" Emperor Jingyuan gave her a funny look.

"Why is Your Majesty still blocking the child?" Imperial Concubine Chen was a very sensible person. She knew what to say and what not to say. A few jokes would not only not anger Emperor Jingyuan, but would instead allow him to enjoy this family happiness.

Concubine Chen seemed very happy. She changed to a more comfortable position and hugged Xihe. "The little girl has good taste."

Xihe hugged Concubine Chen's neck, leaned in, and kissed her, which made Concubine Chen stunned for a moment. Emperor Jingyuan felt jealous immediately, as if he was the one who brought the child back, how could Concubine Chen kidnap him so soon.

"Come, let daddy hold you." Emperor Jingyuan would never admit that he was jealous.

Xihe pondered for a while, thinking of her strong backer, and then obediently jumped into the arms of Emperor Jingyuan, calling him "Daddy" softly, with admiration on her face.

"Your Majesty, what is this child's name?"

Xihe gave Concubine Chen a well-behaved smile, "My beautiful lady, my name is Xiaoliu."

"little six?"

What kind of name is that?

Concubine Chen and Emperor Jingyuan looked at each other, both with dark eyes.

Xihe was too young to understand, but Emperor Jingyuan and Concubine Chen were not fools. This child probably didn't have a name, and the order of birth was used for the purpose of addressing him.

"Why don't you, Your Majesty, give the child a name?" Although Lady Cheng was a good-for-nothing, the child was innocent after all. Moreover, Imperial Concubine Chen really liked this chubby child.

Emperor Jingyuan glanced at Concubine Chen without saying anything, but his eyes never left the little kid who was busy eating snacks. It seemed that nothing could bother her, and being with her would make him feel much better.

Like...like the sun?

"Just call her Xihe, Sixth Princess Zhao Xihe."

Xihe was suddenly stunned, and when he looked up, he met Emperor Jingyuan's indifferent eyes.

Xihe, Zhao Xihe, she was also called Xihe when she was in the spiritual world.

"Thank you, Daddy. Little Six has a name now." Xihe was very happy. Her big eyes narrowed with smile. She came forward and kissed Emperor Jingyuan. "Xihe loves Daddy the most."

Emperor Jingyuan laughed out loud, "Okay, my little Princess Xihe, come here, let Daddy teach you how to write your own name."

Emperor Jingyuan asked someone to spread out rice paper and taught Xihe to write his name stroke by stroke.

Before long, the news that the Sixth Princess was given a name spread throughout the six palaces, but soon after, some bad rumors appeared in the palace. Some palace servants began to whisper in private that the Sixth Princess was a disaster star. At first, there were only one or two people, but gradually, more and more people said it, and the rumor spread like wildfire, but no one dared to say anything in front of Emperor Jingyuan.

Emperor Jingyuan was reluctant to let his youngest daughter return to the cold palace, fearing that the crazy woman would abuse the child again. However, he could not bear his youngest daughter's repeated pleas and her repeated promises of returning soon, and finally agreed.

The palace servant sent the little princess to the gate of the cold palace and then left. As soon as she reached the gate, she saw her mother, whom she had not seen for many days, with a rare smile on her face, as if she saw that Emperor Jingyuan's people had sent her back, and her smile became even bigger.

"Oh, our little six has grown up and has won the favor of His Majesty. She can even live in Yuanyang Palace. Which prince or princess can have such an honor as our little six?"

Ever since she learned that her daughter was given a name, Concubine Cheng was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. For the first time, she felt that her daughter was still of some use, so she hurried to the door to greet them. If she met someone from Emperor Jingyuan, it would show her motherly love.

As expected, after a few words of pretended concern, his true purpose was exposed. "Has Xiaoliu mentioned mother to your father? Has His Majesty said when to summon mother?"

"Mother, what are you talking about? Xihe doesn't understand." Xihe blinked at Concubine Cheng with an innocent look on her face, as if she really didn't understand what Concubine Cheng was saying.

Lady Cheng's expression suddenly changed, and she stretched out her hand and pushed Xihe down, "You ungrateful bastard! Your mother has worked so hard to raise you, but you don't even plan for me. What's the use of you? You're useless."

Yun Hui hurried over to help Xihe up, "Master, the little princess is still young and can't stand this."

Unexpectedly, Lady Cheng flew into a rage and slapped Yun Hui in the face, "Bitch, I think it was you who instigated Xiao Liu to leave me."

"Come here, beat this ignorant palace maid to death."

“No! You can’t hit Sister Yunhui!” Xihe’s small body blocked in front of Yunhui, her lower lip tightly pursed, her face full of fear, but she still held on and refused to move away.

Although Xihe had regained some energy after being cared for by Emperor Jingyuan for a few days, he was still weak. His small face was flushed red and he stared at Cheng Meiren intently. He had some of Emperor Jingyuan's aura, which made the people around him dare not move.

There were two people standing in the shadow outside the door, their faces obscured by the tall branches.

"Sir, should we..."

The man behind the tree pursed his lips, as if thinking about something, "Go and report to His Majesty."
