Chapter 345: Chapter 345: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 55
“Do you know who I am?” Su Zhiruan followed the eunuch’s steps, stepping into Zichen Hall one step at a ti.
The Chief Eunuch hurriedly responded, “Oh, your affairs have spread throughout the entire Imperial Palace. The Emperor, the Empress, and all the young lords are eagerly awaiting to see you!”
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the four nannies behind Su Zhiruan, “Miss Su, they are—”
The nannies had just been holding the children, and the children, representing Spring, Sumr, Autumn, and Winter, were still asleep. Concerned that loud voices might awaken them, she had the nannies walk further away.
Facing the Chief Eunuch’s query, she replied calmly and leisurely, “They are my children.”
“Ah?!” The Chief Eunuch looked at Su Zhiruan’s appearance, asking back in surprise, “Yours, your children? Which ones!?”
No wonder he felt puzzled. Primarily, Su Zhiruan did not look like a woman with children. She appeared to be an unmarried Miss, and unexpectedly, she even had children. But with four nannies holding four children, the Chief Eunuch even thought for a mont that perhaps his ears were malfunctioning.
“Quadruplets, all are mine.”
The Chief Eunuch was utterly flabbergasted!
Having spent so many years in the Imperial Palace, let alone quadruplets! He hadn’t even seen a single infant in the last twenty years!
And now, the Princess that the Crown Prince had found had given birth to quadruplets! Four whole children!!
“Your Highness!! This is a trendous auspicious sign! The Emperor will surely be overjoyed upon seeing this!” At this mont, the Chief Eunuch was even dancing with excitent, his face flushed with enthusiasm.
Su Zhiruan felt sowhat helpless; perhaps because he was too thrilled, he even began addressing her as “Your Highness” right on the spot.
“Please co inside with this servant!” The Chief Eunuch’s steps quickened, taking two steps in the ti of three.
Zichen Hall was luxurious, and upon entering through the main entrance, there was a sense of sudden openness, with the road in front made entirely of smooth and broad stone slabs.
In the center stood a palace, its doors wide open, with several attendants standing on both the left and right sides of the entrance.
As the Chief Eunuch led Su Zhiruan to the front of the hall, he stopped, “Please wait here, this servant will go and announce your arrival.”
“All right.” Su Zhiruan stopped as instructed, waiting for the Emperor’s summons.
She was sowhat curious about the structure of Shen Kingdom. Shen Qingman talked about finding a princess who had been lost among the common folk to accompany him in the palace. His words were light, his ideas simple, without even considering the consequences.
To easily acknowledge a strange woman as a Princess in the royal family of a kingdom sounded childish.
Nevertheless, Su Zhiruan had co as she previously had seen and heard that Shen Kingdom was weak and small in size. If no asures were taken, it might be silently divided and devoured by other great countries soon.
Her bargaining chip was that she could help Shen Kingdom turn its situation around, but in return, she and her children needed a place to stay.
As for Shen Qingman’s words, she simply let them go in one ear and out the other. After all, she wasn’t a naive child who would readily believe others’ unwarranted kindness.
“Miss Su! The Emperor, the Empress summon you!” The Chief Eunuch ca out quickly, bowed deeply, and gestured for Su Zhiruan to follow him inside; the four nannies also followed behind her.
Zichen Hall was vast, and upon entering, Su Zhiruan did not look up, only catching a vague glimpse with her peripheral vision of two people sitting above.
“This humble one pays respects to the Emperor, pays respect to the Empress!” Su Zhiruan bowed, and the four nannies behind her also kneeled and bowed.
“The Crown Prince said, you are my Princess?”
The man at the head narrowed his eyes and asked this question.
