Canglan Empress

Chapter 346 Adorable Baby 3
"It's not my minister's." Xuanyin quickly denied it, "The minister is only sixteen years old and hasn't married yet. How can such a big child come from?"

And most importantly, the cute doll called her mother...

It's not dad, it's mother.

Mother... Dear...

How big of a misunderstanding is this?
How could she be mother?
Although...well, there is indeed a real woman's body hidden under this men's clothing, but she has never been married, let alone have a child with a man without knowing it, right?

Gathering her mind, Xuanyin finally calmed down from her dream-like trance, temporarily putting aside the baby's expectant and admiring eyes.

She turned her head to look at Emperor Tiande, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I think you can ask the noble ladies who entered the palace tonight, or... well, you can also ask the concubines in the harem to see if anyone has seen it. This doll... oh, yes."

Having said that, she turned her head to look at the officials in the palace, and raised her eyebrows lightly: "And all the officials and lords in the palace, has anyone lost a child? You must claim your own child. Abandoning one's own flesh and blood is not justified. You can't do such a cruel thing."

After the voice fell, the eerily quiet hall became even quieter, and even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear.

There was a strange silence in the hall: "..."

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty looked at me and I looked at you, all of them had tangled and weird expressions, and they were about to be confused by the sudden scene.

However, Huangfu Xuanyin was obviously right to have this reaction.

In the middle of the night, everything was supposed to be silent, and every household had already fallen asleep.

If it wasn't for Rong Jin and Yao Hua, according to the original plan, tonight's palace banquet would not have lasted so late.

Therefore, it is a very strange thing for this child to appear here in the dead of night-the only explanation is two possibilities.

The first possibility is that he might be a child quietly given birth by a concubine in the emperor's harem, taking this opportunity to come and recognize his father?
But after the child came in, he didn't recognize the emperor, but called Huangfu Xuanyin "mother" instead?
Really weird.

Another possibility is that the child was brought in by a certain minister at the palace banquet—although the possibility is extremely small, after all, no minister would be so stupid as to bring such a small child into the palace, and even take the child with a big heart. Stay alone outside the hall.

So after thinking about it, it seems that various explanations are not very tenable.

But it is impossible for such a young child to walk into the palace by himself without being discovered...

After a while of silence, Emperor Tiande quickly regained his decisiveness and wisdom when dealing with state affairs.

Looking around the hall for a week, he said in a dignified tone: "My dear friends, has anyone seen this child?"

The officials were silent, their eyes fell on the beautiful little face of the doll, no matter how they looked at it, they felt that this child was unbelievably beautiful, but no matter how they looked at it, no matter how they felt...they had never seen this child before.

Seeing this, Emperor Tiande had no choice but to raise his voice: "Come on!"

The guards outside the hall came in quickly, and the two knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Tiande pointed at the child sitting on Xuanyin's lap, "You were outside just now, did you see this child?"

The two guards thought the emperor had something important to order, but they didn't expect it to be for a child.

After hearing Emperor Tiande's question, the two raised their heads and looked blankly in the direction of Emperor Tiande's finger.
