Chapter 380 Father and Son
Yiren glanced at Butler Wu angrily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can the child of the royal family of Zhao look exactly like him? You must be out of your mind!"
Butler Wu shook his head and said with certainty: "I watched the young master grow up. I can see how old he is and what he looks like. If I misjudge anyone, I will never misjudge the young master. You Look, this nose and these eyes look so much like the young master!"
When the girls heard this, they immediately looked at the child carefully, and sure enough, they saw a hint of familiarity between his brows and eyes.
It seems..., it's really similar!
Su Qing also remembered at this moment where that familiar feeling came from.
Butler Wu was right, this child looked exactly like Li Nuo when he was a child!
Her eyes immediately turned to Yi Ren.
Could it be that she and Li Nuo gave birth secretly in Zhao country?
This child looks to be about the same age as Li Yan, which means that his mother was pregnant at about the same time as the beautiful woman. Could it be that at that time, he and the beautiful lady had a private life?
It's impossible, Yiren is still a virgin.
But if it is said that he had the child with another woman in Zhao country, the time does not match up at all.
Judging from the child's age, Li Nuo was still in Chang'an at that time.
He secretly gave birth to a child with someone else in Chang'an, and sent it to Zhao State to be raised by the Queen of Zhao State - this makes no sense both emotionally and rationally!
More importantly, he is not someone who would show mercy outside.
Do they just look alike?
How could such a coincidence happen in this world?
Li Yan and Li Nian both looked more like beautiful women, while Li Zhi looked more like Princess An Ning. There was no reason why other people's children should be more similar to him than his own flesh and blood, and there was no such reason even in Potian.
Su Qing was confused...
Not just her, everyone is messy.
Butler Wu finally realized something. After being stunned for a moment, he looked at the child again, smacked his lips, and shook his head: "Maybe it's because my eyes are dim, but now it seems that this little guy and the young master don't seem to be that similar..."
Li Yun was so proud that he stole the show in front of the Mo family officials of Zhao State. He walked over with his hands behind his back, glanced at him inadvertently, and said in amazement: "Why does this kid look so similar to Li Nuo... "
Somewhere in the main hall.
Li Nuo was discussing with the Queen how to govern the country when Yi Ren suddenly came over and asked, "Zhiyi, what is this child's name?"
Zhao Zhiyi's eyes moved slightly, lowered his eyelids, and said, "His name is Zhao Che. I hope that he will be an upright person with a pure mind in the future, and not be like the imperial brother..."
Yiren brought Zhao Che closer to Li Nuo and asked, "Hey, do you think this kid looks like you?"
Li Nuo rolled his eyes at her and said angrily: "Are you kidding? How can other people's children look like..."
Before Li Nuo finished speaking, his tone suddenly stopped.
Don't tell me, this little guy's eyebrows and eyes are really similar to him.
But it's just a similarity.
Children who are less than one year old have not yet fully grown up. Unless they have very obvious features, you can't tell who they look like. It just happens that their noses and eyes are similar to him.
After the banquet, everyone returned to the palace.
As soon as they entered the room, An Ning and Yi Ren closed the door and looked at him with their arms crossed. There was also scrutiny and suspicion in the beauty's eyes.
Li Nuo looked at them and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yiren looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What's going on with Zhao Che?"
Li Nuo became even more confused and asked, "What's going on?"
Yi Ren said: "Steward Wu told my mother that he looks exactly like you when you were a child. How do you explain this?"
"What do I explain?"
Li Nuo asked with confusion on his face, then realized something and said in shock: "No, do you doubt that he is my child? Are you kidding me? He is about the same age as Li Yan. It's impossible when you think about it." …”
There is absolutely nothing to doubt about this matter.
Zhao Che is the same age as Li Yan, which means that his mother, Jiaren and An Ning were both pregnant at the same time. He was still in Chang'an at that time. How could he teleport to the capital of Zhao Kingdom overnight and cuckold King Sheng? ?
The girls couldn't explain this.
An Ning wondered: "Is it really such a coincidence?"
Li Nuo really didn't expect that he would be able to lie down. If the technology in this world hadn't been able to do a paternity test, he would have to prove his innocence immediately.
The Mohist family has not yet developed to this level. Although the doctors in this world have found a new way and taken a different path, they are unable to do anything about this kind of thing.
In desperation, Li Nuo had no choice but to ask Senior Dongfang to prove his innocence.
Early the next morning, Dongfang Xuan was about to go out, but was stopped by Li Nuo.
He looked at Li Nuo and said in surprise: "What do you think you are doing?"
Li Nuo said: "Senior, don't ask, just tell me whether it can be counted."
Dongfang Xuan shook his head and said, "Others can calculate it, but you can't."
Li Nuo said in shock: "Why?"
Dongfang Xuan explained: "Your Confucian cultivation level is too high. The methods of each school are of no use to high-level Confucianists. Unless you are a saint of the Yin Yang family, I am afraid no one can figure out what happened to you..."
He looked at Li Nuo for a few times, with a meaningful look on his face, and said, "You kid, you are so merciful that you don't even know how many children you have?"
Li Nuo was not afraid of his own shadow, but they insisted on doubting him. Li Nuo was too lazy to explain, waved his hand, and said: "You go and do your work..."
Although he failed to prove his innocence directly, An Ning and Yi Ren still did not dwell on this issue.
After all, that statement was too untenable. No matter how much they doubted, it could not explain the problem of pregnancy time. His grievances would naturally be cleared.
Dongfang Xuan left the palace and came to the National Master's Mansion.
Looking at the skinny old man basking in the sun on the chair, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and he asked: "I clearly gave you a few years of life last time, why did you become lifeless again? Did you abuse the Yin-Yang technique again?"
The Zhao State Master slowly opened his eyes, did not answer his question directly, but asked: "Do you still remember the Gongsun family?"
Dongfang Xuan nodded and said: "Of course, a hundred years ago, the Gongsun family was powerful for a time, but in recent years, I haven't heard much about them, and I don't know if the inheritance is still there..."
The major families of the Yin-Yang family have all had their own peaks.
The peak of the Dongfang family was three hundred years ago, but since the ancestor of the family broke through the realm of saints and died of madness, the family has been declining from generation to generation. In this generation, there is only Qing'er as the heir.
Zhao Guo's national teacher said: "Over the years, the Gongsun family has another heir, in Zhao Guo. She is only at the fifth level of cultivation, but I suspect..."
Dongfang Xuan asked: "What do you suspect?"
Zhao Guo's national teacher breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I suspect she has become a saint..."
Dongfang Xuan was shocked and said: "What, there is a seventh-level Yin-Yang family saint on the mainland, where is she?"
Zhao Guo's national teacher said: "She has fallen, but I don't understand some of the things she did before she fell..."
...
Zhao Guo.
On the streets of the capital, people were talking about it.
"I heard that His Majesty Prince Zhao returned yesterday."
"That giant bird is Prince Zhao's mount. He is indeed unique, as expected of Prince Zhao."
"Do you think that the little prince adopted by His Majesty is the child of her and Prince Zhao?"
"Didn't they say that he was born to Prince Sheng's concubine?"
"You can't believe everything the court says. If it was Prince Sheng's child, would Her Majesty treat him so well and adopt him as her adopted son? In my opinion, he is very likely the child of Her Majesty and Prince Zhao..."
Li Nuo was supposed to go shopping with them today, and heard many outrageous rumors along the way.
They said that Zhao Che was born to him and Her Majesty the Queen, but he himself didn't know about it.
According to the time calculation, unless he had a relationship with the Queen when he was still in Chang'an.
But at that time, she was still a virgin, and they saw it with their own eyes. Li Nuo didn't need to prove it himself. Jia and An Ning wouldn't believe it at all. Yiren could even prove that they were always innocent when they were in Zhao State.
Even if they could not see through her as the empress, they would not believe such outrageous rumors.
"Meet His Royal Highness Zhao Wang."
"Live a thousand years to His Royal Highness Zhao Wang!"
The correct version can be found in 16191 book and 1 forum!
Unlike in Chang'an, walking on the streets of the capital of Zhao State, the people all have warm and sincere smiles on their faces.
Jiahe and Anning's mood is obviously much better than when they were in Chang'an.
Letting them change the environment is indeed the right decision.
The situation in Zhao State is much more stable than that in Daxia. With the empress taking care of them, Li Nuo can do his own things with confidence.
When returning to the palace, Li Nuo found that the empress was also here.
Li Yan walked unsteadily on the grass, and Zhao Che crawled behind him. Although Zhao Che was born less than ten days later than Li Yan, he did not look like a child of the same age at all.
Li Yan and Li Nian can already call their parents and aunt, and can walk shakily, but Zhao Che can only crawl and sit, and can't call people.
However, Zhao Che's development speed is in line with common sense.
Li Yan, Li Nian and Li Zhi were all baptized by Li Nuo with the fifth-level medical true qi every day, and their physiques are much better than ordinary children.
Zhao Zhiyi obviously also discovered this matter. Looking at the two children, he asked Li Nuo curiously: "They are obviously about the same age, why is there such a big gap between Zhao Che and Li Yan..."
Li Nuo explained the reason to her. Zhao Zhiyi thought about it and said: "Can you also help Zhao Che? Li Yan and the others can walk, but he can only crawl and can't play with them..."
Since she asked, Li Nuo certainly couldn't refuse.
Li Nuo walked over and picked up Zhao Che who was crawling on the ground. The little guy didn't resist in Li Nuo's arms and looked at him with big eyes.
Li Nuo looked at the little face in front of him, and he felt strange in his heart.
He didn't think there was anything wrong when he saw him for the first time.
Once he accepted the assumption that this child looked like him, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he looked like him...
No wonder An Ning and Jia Ren would be suspicious...
Zhao Zhiyi looked at Li Nuo holding Zhao Che and teasing him seriously, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Then, she took out a red letter from her sleeve and said, "This is the wedding date selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory for you. You can choose one from them."
The Ministry of Rites has selected a dozen auspicious dates at most.
The nearest one can be held in ten days.
The farther ones are one month later, two months later, and at the latest by the end of the year.
Li Nuo naturally wanted it to be as soon as possible.
But this time, Yi Ren had a different opinion.
According to the birth dates of the two people, although the tenth day is also an auspicious day, it can only be considered as a bad day. Other days are good, some are very good, and some are very good.
The best day is naturally the best, but it is at the end of the year eight months later.
When Li Nuo married Jia Ren, the wedding day was only a good day.
But Yi Ren decided on this day.
Su Qing advised her: "Good is not bad, it's almost good."
Yi Ren looked at Su Qing and said firmly: "I have waited for so long, and these few months are not a big deal. I can only get married once in my life, and the first time has been robbed. This time, I must do the best!"
Su Qing moved his lips, but finally said nothing.
In this matter, Yi Ren did suffer too much grievances, and finally had the opportunity to remedy it, so let her think as she wants...
Li Nuo naturally had no objection.
However, before getting married, he certainly couldn't stay in Zhao State forever.
Zhao Zhiyi took the memorial from Li Nuo and saw the circled date on it. He was surprised and asked, "Are you sure you want to wait that long?"
Li Nuo smiled and said, "If love lasts for a long time, why should we be together day and night? Since she likes it, let her do it..."
Zhao Zhiyi sighed softly, with an inexplicable meaning in his tone: "You are so good to her..."
Zhao State, the capital.
Recently, in addition to gossiping about the identity of the adopted son of Her Majesty the Queen, the people of the capital are also discussing the marriage of Prince Zhao and Princess Zhaorong.
Her Majesty the Queen dotes on these two princes and princesses of different surnames. The ceremony of their wedding far exceeds that of ordinary princes and princesses, and is only lower than that of the Emperor's establishment of the Queen.
To some extent, even the ceremony of establishing the Queen is not as good as this wedding.
To celebrate, not only will all government offices be closed for three days, but the empress will also exempt farmers with less than 100 mu of cultivated land from taxes for one year. This is a true celebration of the whole country. Even if the emperor gets married, he may not exempt the people from taxes.
This wedding will surely be remembered by many people.
Just when the people of Zhao State have more things to talk about after dinner because of the return of King Zhao.
Daxia, Chang'an.
The imperial examination in the 36th year of the Holy Emperor has just been announced.
This is the third imperial examination in three years, and it is also the imperial examination with the largest number of Jinshi admitted since the founding of Daxia.
The number of people admitted in this imperial examination is as high as 500.
Among these 500 people, only the first 100 will be appointed to official positions immediately, but the next 400 people are not in a hurry.
Their master, as a patrol censor, has only traveled through a few states, and many official positions have been vacated for the court. As long as the master kills some more corrupt officials, there will definitely be vacancies that they can fill...
There is another surprising phenomenon in this year's imperial examination.
Of the five hundred Jinshi candidates admitted this year, four hundred and ninety-three were students who had attended Li Nuo's imperial examination tutoring class.
Although these people were screened once, under normal circumstances, such a terrifying ratio would not be possible.
Scholars pay great attention to the teacher-student relationship, which means that nearly five hundred future officials in the court who are Jinshi candidates of this year have to call him "Mr.". What a huge force this is...
The Imperial Palace.
In the silent palace, a figure walked in slowly, bent down, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we have found some clues. Those people are very likely from the Qingluan Society of Qi State..."
