Chapter 261 Rumors
"Mingrui? Xiaoqi's name? Mingrui! Mingrui!" Princess Wuyang Qin Ronglu pinched the Seventh Prince's soft face with both hands and shook it gently.
The Seventh Prince Qin Mingrui, who had just obtained his own name, pushed and dodged to get rid of Qin Ronglu's teasing hands, but to no avail, and was about to bite him.
"Xiaoqi, be good and don't bite your sister's hand!"
Imperial Concubine Yi Meng Wu Yue took Qin Ronglu's hand away, bent down and half-lifted the Seventh Prince, rubbed his neck with her face, and then stuffed him into Qinghe's arms.
Qinghe looks petite, but she has become stronger in recent years. Compared to Weixia, Meng Wuyue is obviously much more at ease letting her hold the Seventh Prince, whose limbs have become more powerful as he grows older.
"Qinghe, come and help me hold the Seventh Prince." After saying that, she sat down, raised her eyes, and stretched out her hands to pinch Qin Ronglu's face, her movements very gently, "And you! You are about to meet someone's grown-up girl, and you are still so naughty. Don't offend Mingrui, he doesn't know how to hold back. When he bites your hand and you scream in pain, don't complain to mother."
Qin Ronglu raised his hands, held Meng Wuyue's hands that were pinching his face, pulled them in front of him, and acted coquettishly towards her skillfully.
"How can I meet someone? I haven't even reached the age of marriage yet. I can't bear to leave my mother and Xiao Qi."
Meng Wu Yue looked at his daughter tenderly, raised his other hand and patted the back of Qin Ronglu's hand. The seventh prince Qin Mingrui stretched his body in Qinghe's arms, kicked his legs, half hanging in the air, with his arms outstretched, leaning towards his mother and eldest sister.
"Mother! Xiaoqi, no, I have a real name now, mother, Mingrui wants mother to hold him, Mingrui wants to go out and play."
"Does Mingrui like this name?"
"I like it!" the Seventh Prince said without hesitation.
"Mother likes it, too. It's not only low-key and reserved, but also in line with Mother's wishes. Rui means auspicious and auspicious. Mother hopes that we will be auspicious, grow up safely and healthily, and have a smooth life. That is what Mother wants."
"Mother, hold me, let's go out and play!"
"Okay, okay, let's go out and play. I really don't want to listen to any more nonsense from my mother."

"Mingyan?" After sending away the eunuch who announced the decree, Jiang Lanzhi returned to her desk and sat down, writing down the name of the eighth prince Qin Mingyan in various fonts.
"Luzhu, go and see if the Eighth Prince is awake. If he is, have the palace servants help him wash up and bring him here. I will teach him to recognize his own name."
"Yes, my lord."
The green bamboo went in a hurry and came back in a hurry.
"My dear, the servants in the back hall have helped His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince wash up, and His Royal Highness is having dinner now."
"Got it." Jiang Lanzhi didn't even raise her head. Her pretty face and eyes were focused on writing and drawing on the paper.
"My Lord, aren't you curious about the names of the other princes? I am extremely curious and I am scratching my head."
Jiang Lanzhi did not answer. Her hand was suspended in mid-air as she thought to herself, "It's just a name. Could it be...something earth-shattering?"
When Luzhu heard Jiang Lanzhi's inner thoughts, she almost blurted out the answer and nodded frantically in her heart.
"My dear, don't you want to ask me?" Luzhu looked at Jiang Lanzhi with sparkling eyes.
"Say it!"
"My dear, I just went out for a while and heard the palace talking about the name of the Ninth Prince. It means a great jade for offering sacrifices to the heaven. With such a big name, I heard that His Majesty is going to appoint a crown prince. I also heard that His Majesty might be interested in the Sixth Prince who has never left Chongde Hall since he was born, because His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is called Mingjun? His Majesty was forced by the Empress and the court to hide his beloved Concubine Zhen and her son, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, in Chongde Hall for protection."
Lu Zhu's eyes were gleaming with gossip, "My dear, I want to go out and get some more information!"
"What a mess. The jade used for offering sacrifices to the heaven is Xuan, and the Ninth Prince is Mingxuan? Mingjun? Mingjun, right? It's just the same as Mingyan, a word that means beautiful jade. Your Majesty, who do you need to pressure? Is it because you haven't killed any of your nine clans that you are spreading rumors so rampantly?
"What about Concubine Yi's seventh prince? What's his name?"
"My Lord, I don't know, but I can go and ask!"
"Okay, go ahead, listen more and talk less, don't get caught, I can't protect you."
"Yes, my lord."
