Chapter 1 — He Forced Me To Adopt My Child, I Immediately Invited The Whole Capital To Witness

The Crown Prince went on an expedition in the eleventh month and brought back a five-month-old baby. He wanted me to record the child in my name and make him the eldest son of the Eastern Palace. Outside, Lieu Thanh Uyen hugged the baby and knelt in the palace, crying until the pear blossoms were drenched in rain. "Sister, I don't ask for fame, I only pray for His Highness's bloodline to be able to claim the ancestral lineage." Tieu Thua Duc stood next to her, coldly looking at me. "You entered the Eastern Palace without a child for three years. Thanh Uyen gave birth to the eldest child on your behalf, you should thank her for keeping the position of Crown Princess." I lowered my head to look at the baby in diapers, almost burst out laughing. Tieu Thua Duc left the capital for eleven months. This baby is only five months old. In my previous life, I openly questioned the child's parentage. Tieu Thua Duc was so embarrassed that he became angry and ordered me to be detained. The queen ordered someone to change the date of birth, kill the midwife, and then blame all the blame on me. I was stripped of my position as Crown Princess and imprisoned in the cold palace. Later, when the enemy attacked the imperial citadel, we learned that this child's biological father was actually a spy from the enemy country hiding in the citadel. Lieu Thanh Uyen took advantage of the Eastern Palace to raise his son, and then on the day Tieu Thua Duc ascended the throne, he opened the palace gates. As for me, she used a cup of poisoned wine to send me into the golden stream. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Tieu Thua Duc forced me to accept this child. This time, I did not question, nor did I invite the Royal Doctor. I took the child with my own hands, smiled and said: "Since he is the eldest son of His Highness, then the adoption party must of course be held solemnly." "The date of birth must be recorded in the family tree, engraved on a jade scroll, and then invite all civil and military officials to witness." Tieu Thua Duc looked at me with satisfaction. Unbeknownst to him, I had long ordered someone to print more than ten thousand copies clearly stating the date he left for war and the date he returned to the capital. Tomorrow morning, every street in the capital will be boarded up. I really want to see. When everyone in the capital calculated that this child could not possibly be the Crown Prince's flesh and blood, Tieu Thua Duc could still laugh. "If the Crown Princess agrees, then the adoption party will be scheduled for the next seven days." Tieu Thua Duc's sentence made everyone in the palace breathe a sigh of relief. Lieu Thanh Uyen hugged the baby and knelt on the ground, but in the bottom of her eyes, a flash of pride flashed very quickly. Surely she still thinks that I am still the same Tham Chieu Hoa as before, as long as I put the East Palace's reputation and the safety of the Tham family on the line, no matter how much humiliation I have to endure, I can only swallow it. She bowed her head and wiped her tears. "Sister accepted Hanh Nhi, Thanh Uyen is extremely grateful. From now on, Thanh Uyen will definitely stay calm and will absolutely not compete with you about anything." I sat back in the chair and calmly looked at her. The baby's name is Tieu Hanh. Even the name has been set in advance. It seems that before entering the Eastern Palace, they already guessed that I wouldn't dare to refuse. "Miss Lieu has misunderstood." I raised the teacup and slowly brushed away the foam floating on my face. "The royal family's bloodline is so noble. Now His Highness has returned safely and has a eldest son. This is not just a private matter of the Eastern Palace, but a happy matter for the whole country." The smile at the corner of Lieu Thanh Uyen's lips stopped for a moment. She originally just wanted to quietly register the baby's name in my name, wait for everything to come true, then announce to the outside world that I was jealous and refused to acknowledge the royal family name. But I deliberately made this as loud as possible. Tieu Thua Duc did not notice anything unusual, on the contrary, he looked satisfied. "You can think like that, I am very happy." "Since you have accepted your ancestors, of course you cannot just show it off."

The banquet table." I looked towards the General Manager of the inner city. "Please invite someone from Tong Chinh Tu to come here and repair the jade leaf. Then invite Kham Thien Giam to choose an auspicious day and go to Phung Tien Dien to pay homage to his ancestors. Among the officials of the Six Departments, the Princes in the royal family and all officials of the third rank and above in the capital, all must send invitations." The general manager of the inner city stood there stunned, not daring to answer. Tieu Thua Duc slightly frowned. "It's just adopting a child, why is there such a need to show off?" "Your Highness just said that it is your first child." I deliberately looked puzzled. "The eldest son is recorded in the jade book, could it be that Shouldn't it be announced to the family? Or is it that Your Highness did not intend to acknowledge its identity?" Lieu Thanh Uyen's hands holding the baby suddenly tightened. The baby in the diaper was held uncomfortably tight, immediately crying. She quickly gently comforted the baby, her red eyes looked towards Tieu Thua Duc. "Your Highness, Hanh Nhi's status is low, being able to enter the Eastern Palace, Thanh Uyen is already very satisfied. It's okay to not organize the acceptance party, as long as it makes your sister feel awkward." Her words were full of self-pity, but her eyes were always following Tieu Thua Duc. Sure enough, Tieu Thua Duc's face darkened. "My child, how can he have an inferior status?"
