Chapter 1602 Xiao Yan’s Secret
Yun Dai helped him sit up and gave him a pillow to lean on.
Xiao Yan looked at her carefully for a while, and a smile appeared on his old face: "Dai'er, you and your mother look really alike."
Yun Dai smiled and said: "I have never seen her."
Xiao Yan looked a little sad: "I know that when she gave birth to you, she had a dystocia. But I never thought that the child she gave birth to was my princess. You have been wronged these years."
"It's in the past."
"You are a tolerant and generous child. I feel extremely guilty, but I have no chance to make it up to you." Xiao Yan sighed, "I am not going to die soon."
"Your Majesty, don't say that."
"Child, can you call me father?" Xiao Yan looked at her expectantly, "You don't know how much I have longed for a daughter in this life. Now that my wish has come true, the first time I saw you, I also It’s the last time.”
Yun Dai was silent for a while and said: "Father."
"Hey, good boy." Xiao Yan's cloudy eyes were filled with tears.
He took out a brocade box from under the pillow, handed it to her, and said, "When I learned of your existence, I immediately drafted this imperial edict."
"Imperial decree?"
"Yes. I only have you as my daughter. I will make you the princess of Daqi and Princess Hexiao."
Yun Dai said: "Father, I am already the queen of Zhou. This time when I came to Northern Qi, I also concealed myself from others and came incognito. I cannot openly be the princess of Northern Qi. It's not that I covet the vanity of the queen of Zhou, but... I There are several children to consider.”
Xiao Yan smiled kindly: "I heard that you gave birth to a boy and two girls?
"Yes.
"That's great. It's a pity that I don't have the chance to see my granddaughter."
“Originally, I wanted to bring my two daughters here, but it’s a long way, the road is not smooth, and they are too young, so it’s not suitable for them to come.
"Silly boy, it's my biggest surprise that you can come." Xiao Yan's smile was a little weak, "You deserve this title of princess. You are also given a fief and other things. Unfortunately, My father is incompetent and cannot protect your fiefdom for you...
"It's okay. Yun Dai said softly
"You deserve this, and I gave it to you. As for whether you want to make it public or not, it all depends on you. I respect your choice." Xiao Yan coughed a few times, and then said, "In addition, I also want I have a favor to ask of you."
"You say."
"Actually, I have a son."
"Except Xiao Ziye?"
"Yes." Xiao Yan glanced at her, "You don't seem surprised at all."
Yun Dai smiled and said: "You are the emperor, even if you have dozens of sons, it is normal."
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head: "Even the queen and the prince don't know about this."
"That son of yours is not in the palace?"
"No, he is among the people."
"You just found out too?"
"I knew it a long time ago." Xiao Yan smiled, "That child is a few years younger than you, and he is only fifteen now."
Yun Dai said in surprise: "Since you already knew, why didn't you bring the child to the palace?"
"Because the mother of the child cannot be seen in the light." Xiao Yan sighed, "Speaking of which, it is also my fault. I favored her in a moment of anger. At that time, I had not yet ascended the throne, and I would never allow a brothel girl to enter the palace as a concubine. .”
"You mean..."
"That's right. She is a prostitute." Xiao Yan said, "I couldn't take her into the palace at that time. Later, she gave birth to a son, and I couldn't take her into the palace. With such a mother, for the prince, he can only It’s a shame.”
