Chapter 59
Everyone knelt down to welcome his imperial Majesty. Yuancheng Emperor was in a great mood. He told people to rise and then went to the main hall to take a seat.
He sized up Zhong Zheng Lin's ceremonial robe; very appropriate. Afterward, he looked at the one in his arms. Aiyo, truly eye-catching little one, so delectable. He quickly told Zhong Zheng Lin to bring him over so he could take a look at him.
Consort Shu has deliberately asked for grace today so that she could go to her son's estate to see her grandson. She didn't expect she would see an extremely adorable little chubby boy as soon as she arrived. She immediately moved closer to examine him carefully, unable to tear her gaze from her grandson.
After taking a closer look, she discovered that her grandson not only was good-looking, furthermore, he was raised well. She instantly praised Mu Xi Yao repeatedly. Subsequently, brimming with smiles, she played with him a little together with Yuancheng Emperor.
Yuancheng Emperor looked at the child's facial features which greatly resembled Zhong Zheng Lin's, then he looked at his attire that displayed an originality. Following after, he cast a side glance at his sixth imperial son's stiff face. He laughed heartily, declaring that the child was good-looking.
Just as he was teasingly sizing up Zhong Zheng Lin's awkward expression, he found the little chubby in his arms twist a little, opening slightly his eyelids and revealing eyes that were like black grapes.
He even grinned and gave him a toothless smile. Afterward, he blowed bubbles, playing with himself.
Consort Shu immediately took him over, rejoiced. She removed her nail guard. Her finger gently touched the little chubby's cheek, cannot put her hand off of him.
All the ladies below looked over at them without blinking their eyes, praising that the child was lovable. They all wished they could go up and hold the baby a little. More so, they've also heard that the unusual eye-catching baby cloth was the new product line launched by Jia Yi workshop. They hearts began to stir restless.
The more Yuancheng Emperor looked at the little bit the more he felt he was delectable. Then, he recalled the smile just now. How could his worrisome sons compare to him?
He felt that he has hit it right off with this grandson of his. Inside the heart, he crossed out all the names he had thought of earlier as he wasn't satisfied with them now. He held the tea and watched consort Shu play with the child. Inwardly, he went over several times before finally settling on the one he was satisfied with.
Yuancheng Emperor called Zhong Zheng Lin to go forward, letting out the imposingness of the emperor.
"Without virtue there's no noble character. The virtue of the common people. He shall be bestowed name Zhong Zheng De. Thus, you must carefully groom him so that he would be worthy of character De and will live up to zhen's expectations."
Everyone was shocked. His imperial Majesty bestowed a name in front of everyone? This child has just recently turned three months. He wasn't even one hundred days old. How come he has suddenly gained Yuancheng Emperor's favor? Moreover, he was only shu son, yet he could have a 'de' in his name. Could it be there was a deeper meaning behind this?
The crown prince and the first prince were both astonished. Just a mere shu son, yet he enjoyed such a benevolent grace. Even in the case of their di sons, the treatment they had enjoyed was also nothing more than this. The old man's actions became increasingly indecipherable. In what way was this child more special? Or was this a sign that the sixth was going to be trusted with important tasks?
