Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 161 Careful Parenting 4

Su Mengyao held the newborn prince tenderly in her arms, his tiny body emitting an adorable aura.

Her eyes were focused and affectionate, as if the whole world existed only on the lovely child in front of her.

At this moment, she was using her slender fingers to imitate the dancing posture of a butterfly in the air, light and graceful.

The little prince stared at his mother's hand with his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open, as if he was deeply attracted by this wonderful performance.

His innocent eyes revealed curiosity and joy, and he was fascinated.

At this moment, Crown Prince Li Zhao finished dealing with his busy government affairs and hurried to the little prince's bedroom.

When he stepped into the room, what caught his eye was such a warm and beautiful picture - Su Mengyao was smiling, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring; the little prince in her arms was concentrating on appreciating his mother's performance.

Li Zhao stepped forward lightly, afraid to disturb the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. He stopped beside Su Mengyao, leaned over and gazed at her, and said softly, "Yao'er, you really have a way. You can make our child so happy." His voice was filled with endless love and admiration.

Su Mengyao looked up at the sound, meeting Li Zhao's affectionate gaze. Her eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky, bright and dazzling, filled with happiness. The two of them smiled at each other, and no words were needed; everything was said without words.

Li Zhao slowly stretched out his hands and took the little prince from Su Mengyao's arms.

As soon as the little guy entered his father's arms, he immediately shifted his attention to Li Zhao's hands.

Li Zhao suddenly had an idea and began to gently draw circles on the little prince's pink palm with his index finger.

At first, the little prince just blinked, curiously feeling the gentle touch. But before long, his delicate face suddenly broke into a brilliant smile! The sound of his laughter was so clear and melodious, like the sound of nature, that it reached the ears of everyone present.

Su Mengyao and Li Zhao couldn't help but look at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. This was the first time the little prince had smiled since he was born!

For them who are new parents, this is undoubtedly an important moment in their lives, carrying countless happiness and touching moments.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze. The three of them were immersed in this strong family love, and the air around them was filled with sweetness...

Inside the bedroom, it was warm like spring, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and a warm atmosphere.

The brilliant sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, falling on the three people like golden threads, outlining a magnificent picture.

Li Zhao gently held the baby prince in his arms, and his resolute face was now filled with a loving smile.

The little prince was as delicate as a piece of jade, with a pair of big black eyes that looked around curiously at the world. Suddenly, he laughed out loud. The clear and pleasant laughter was like the sound of nature, filling the whole bedroom with a joyful atmosphere.

Su Mengyao stood quietly by the side, her beautiful face glowing with happiness, crystal tears swirling in her eyes and sliding down her fair cheeks.

Those were tears of joy, the emotion of the arrival of new life, and the deep intoxication of the beautiful scene before their eyes.

The palace maids in the distance secretly watched this scene, and they also showed relieved smiles on their faces, secretly feeling happy for the Queen and the Emperor.

This was not only the first time the little prince smiled in his life, but also a sublimation of the relationship between Su Mengyao and Li Zhao.

Amid the little prince's innocent laughter, Su Mengyao slowly walked to Li Zhao's side and gently stroked the child's pink face.

The two smiled at each other, and their eyes were full of love and tacit understanding.

They know very well that from this moment on, they will jointly shoulder the responsibility of caring for the growth of this little life. No matter how tortuous and difficult the road ahead is, this determination is indestructible.

Just as the palace was immersed in happiness, some discordant voices quietly rang out.

Those rumors were like insidious and cunning snakes, spreading rapidly throughout the palace. Soon, these vicious words reached the ears of Su Mengyao and Li Zhao.

Some people secretly spread such words, claiming that Su Mengyao was just a person of humble status and was not qualified to raise the extremely noble little prince.

What's worse, they even spread rumors wantonly, claiming that the little prince was not Li Zhao's biological son at all.

There were even some people with ulterior motives who said that it was because of Su Mengyao and Li Zhao's poor care and poor education that the little prince's growth and development were not satisfactory.

Such unbearable rumors spread rapidly in the palace like a gust of wind, causing many palace people to whisper to each other. The entire palace was shrouded in a sea of ​​heated discussions.

After hearing these rumors, Su Mengyao was so angry that her whole body was shaking and her chest was heaving violently.

She walked quickly to Li Zhao with an angry face and said indignantly, "These rumors are too vicious and abominable! We must not sit idly by and do nothing. We must thoroughly investigate who is stirring up trouble and spreading them!"

Her clear and pleasant voice became slightly sharp because of anger, and the rage in it seemed to be able to burn everything around it.

At the same time, her beautiful eyes flashed with an unwavering and unquestionable light, making people dare not look directly at her.

Li Zhao, who was standing aside, also clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force.

A flash of extremely cold light flashed across his eyes, like the biting cold wind in winter, making people shudder.

He responded in a stern voice, "Don't worry, Yao'er. I will definitely not let this matter go. I will definitely find out who is behind this and get to the bottom of it. I will absolutely not allow these rumors to continue to spread and harm us in the slightest!"

The atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became tense. Su Mengyao showed an angry expression on her face, and Li Zhao's eyes became cold.

The palace maids were whispering in the distance, and there was a sense of unease in the air.

The sun still shone into the room, but it couldn't dispel the gloom. Su Mengyao's mindset: She couldn't let these rumors affect herself and the little prince. She had to protect her family.

Faced with the rumors flying around, Su Mengyao and Li Zhao knew that if they did not take decisive and effective action, the consequences would be disastrous.

So after careful consideration, the two decided to take a series of proactive measures to deal with the current serious situation.

First of all, they focused on providing meticulous care and all-round protection to the little prince.

Whether it is diet, daily life or daily activities, special people are arranged to take good care of them to ensure that the little prince can thrive and not be disturbed or harmed by any external factors. His health and safety have become the top priority.

At the same time, Li Zhao made full use of his supreme power and launched an in-depth investigation into the source of the rumors.

He was determined to find out the mastermind behind the scenes who was stirring up trouble and creating chaos, and bring him to justice to set things right.

As the investigation progresses, a shocking and complex truth gradually emerges - it turns out that behind these seemingly ordinary rumors lies a thrilling palace power struggle!

Those with ill intentions and ulterior motives tried to use these rumors to shake Su Mengyao's stable position in the palace that she had worked so hard to establish, so as to further influence Li Zhao's decision-making direction.

At this point, Su Mengyao and Li Zhao deeply realized the seriousness of the problem: these rumors were no longer just about the honor and disgrace of their personal families. If they were allowed to continue to spread, it would very likely bring immeasurable turmoil and unrest to the entire Tang Dynasty.

They must go all out and fight to the death to completely eradicate this evil force, restore peace and tranquility to the palace, and ensure the eternal stability of the Tang Dynasty.

Faced with this series of severe challenges that came one after another, Su Mengyao and Li Zhao stepped forward resolutely without any intention of retreating, fully demonstrating their unswerving belief and extraordinary courage.

Rather than turning a blind eye or covering up the rumors circulating in the palace, they responded openly and fearlessly, a gesture that amazed everyone.

In addition, they used concrete actions to prove their innocence. Su Mengyao worked tirelessly and personally participated in the careful care of the little prince's daily life.

Whether it is dressing, feeding, or reading and writing, she takes care of every detail meticulously, perfectly interpreting the responsibility and care that a mother should have.

Li Zhao was not to be outdone. He made a righteous public statement in the court, clearly expressing his full support for Su Mengyao and resolutely defending her noble status and renowned reputation.

His passionate attitude was moving and attracted the attention of all the civil and military officials in the court.
