Chapter 269
While everyone was surprised, Lu Ziyan's eyes were fixed on the baby in the cradle.
"This child is indeed destined to be with me," he said, "How about I give him a name?"
The words were a question, but he had no intention of waiting for anyone's permission.
As if he had already thought of it, he said to himself: "Let's call him Xiu Ran."
Xiu Ran…
"Ji Xiuran..." Xie Yanyu subconsciously looked at the child's 'biological father'.
Ji Chengfeng's brows were already furrowed.
Even if he is the crown prince, he has no right to name the offspring of his subjects without permission.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ziyan also muttered a few words, "Ji Xiuran".
His expression was also very unpleasant. "This surname is not very good. It is better to let the child take him away. I will recognize him as my son. His future prospects..."
"Absolutely not!" This time, before Ji Chengfeng could say anything, Xie Yanyu immediately spoke up: "How can the royal heirs be mixed up?"
"If I want to confuse you, I can confuse you," Lu Ziyan raised his eyebrows and mocked, "You are so anxious, is this child really related to you?"
I've never seen anyone snatch a child like this.
"Your Highness, please forgive me," Ji Chengfeng could no longer hold back and said, "This is my eldest son whom I have waited for ten months. I have no intention of giving him up. If Your Highness wants a son, you should find another way."
After the words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a romantic man. For the sake of someone else's wife, he is willing to risk the world's condemnation and snatch her away.
Now that the beauty has passed away, he has no plans to get married.
He also wanted to give Xie's daughter the title of Crown Princess.
The emperor agreed, but the Xie family refused.
Now I am still arguing with the Xie family.
Lord Xie knelt down at the palace gate and pleaded his case bitterly, saying: My daughter was married to the Duke of Pei by Your Majesty, but was later ordered to divorce by an imperial decree.
She was a free person before her death, so she should be buried in the Xie family's ancestral tomb as a daughter of the Xie family.
I dare not marry the crown prince of this dynasty.
In response to this, Lu Ziyan, who had a strong murderous intention, did not force anyone.
He tried to appeal to the Xie family's emotions and get them to give in.
It's ridiculous to think about it.
A prince wants to marry a dead person, but he can't. Even his son has to think about someone else.
Ironic indeed.
Lu Ziyan's face was gloomy. He snorted coldly and turned away.
Although this child is destined to be with him, he doesn't have to have him.
It should be said that in this life, there is nothing that he absolutely needs.
He was unwilling to give up his love and had no intention of forcibly taking someone else's son away.
Who will be the next successor to this dynasty will be revealed after his death.
The overwhelming aura disappeared, and both Xie Yanyu and Ji Chengfeng looked slightly relaxed.
Xie Yanyu reached out and took the child from the midwife's hand, sighing, "I wonder if this child will blame us when he grows up."
Given your Majesty's physical condition, it won't be long before Lu Ziyan will be able to ascend the throne as emperor.
This child is his eldest son...
He can even be the eldest son.
Even though time had passed, he forgot about the past, divided the land into three palaces and six courtyards, and had other children.
But his status as the eldest son, plus the identity of his biological mother, was enough to make him a candidate for the throne.
This is the throne!
The supreme position in the world!
No one would not be tempted.

When Xie Wan Ning woke up, it was already the next morning.
She was well taken care of and felt refreshed. After a day and a night of rest, she had recovered a lot of her strength.
It is autumn again now. The weather in the south is pleasant and very suitable for staying in bed.
She heard from her personal maid that a distinguished guest had come to the mansion yesterday.
He has a terrifying aura, and looks cold and sharp from a distance.
Lord Ji calls him His Highness.
And that person called himself Gu.
