Twenty-four years ago, Hou Ning left his pregnant wife to go to Xixia, and Princess Liyang stayed in Jinling to give birth. In the same year, Zhuo Dingfeng, the owner of Tian Quan Mountain Villa, had a war with the demon religious leader in the scenic spot. Before leaving, he also sent his pregnant wife to Jinling and entrusted her father-in-law to take care of her. Unexpectedly, unexpected things happened. An epidemic commonly known as "diphtheria" suddenly broke out, and Jinling City became a Shura prison. In order to spread immunity, the government closed the city and prohibited people from entering and leaving. Only some wealthy families have received special care, including Mrs. Xie Zhuo and his wife.
Although the dignitaries have some privileges to leave the epidemic area, they can't act at will after all. State officials have arranged accommodation for them in a quiet mountain temple nearby, and they will not be free until they get through the critical period and make sure they are not infected.
At this time, Mrs. Xie was pregnant in August and a half, and Mrs. Zhuo was pregnant in September. It happened that she was sent to the same temple in Ruishan as a neighbor. Originally, the two ladies were just nodding acquaintances in social situations. This time, when they were in trouble, their husbands were not around. After many exchanges, the two of them feel very congenial to each other. They often talk and laugh, exchange their feelings about pregnancy, and soon become sisters.
On this day, the two were chatting and playing chess together, and suddenly they were in pain at the same time. Because the delivery date was advanced, the servants were caught off guard and hurried to prepare the delivery room. They were in a hurry, tossing and turning from afternoon until late at night. It thundered and thundered outside, and it was stormy. Just when everyone was so worried, the baby's cry finally sounded, and the two boys turned into grass almost at the same time.
Amid laughter, the midwives took their two precious sons to a big wooden bucket prepared outside to bathe the baby.
Just then, the accident happened.
A hollow cypress tree in the ancient temple was struck by lightning, and a thick branch crashed and broke on the roof of the delivery room. In an instant, the tiles were broken, the beams were crooked and the window lattice was shaken down. The wind swept in, the candles in the room went out and there was a scream. The guards and handmaids grabbed the two ladies in a panic, and the midwives who sat back to the ground were so scared that they scrambled to take the baby out of the bucket in the dark and escaped.
Fortunately, there was a near miss this time, and no one was injured. After choosing a new house and settling down their mother, everyone just breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly found a big problem.
The two baby boys who were carried out in the dark were naked and carefree, generally wrinkled, crying with their mouths open, weighing about the same, and their eyes were about the same. Which one was born by Mrs Xie and which one was born by Mrs Zhuo?
The next day, the problem became more serious, because one of the baby boys suddenly lost his breath and died a few minutes later.
When Xie Hou put down the rebellion with great military achievements, the Lord Zhuo Zhuang defeated the magic religion with brilliant reputation. He only saw his weak and sad wife and a baby who didn't know who should have it.
Because Mrs Xie lives in princess royal, this incident inevitably shocked the son of heaven today. The emperor ordered the two families to take the baby into the palace, trying to make their own judgments.
But as soon as he saw the two parents, the emperor knew that things were difficult.
Xie Yu and Zhuo Dingfeng are both slender and have clear facial features. Both ladies are beautiful and elegant, with eyebrows and almond eyes. Although it is not very similar, but take a closer look at its five senses, the outline characteristics are similar.
Even if the child grows up, I'm afraid it's hard to judge whose son he is just by his looks.
The emperor looked at the baby in his arms for a long time. Although he was indecisive, he still came up with a compromise because he loved it very much: "Since it is impossible to confirm whose son this child is and his surname is Xie Zhuo, I will call him Jing ... Jing Rui. He was born in Ruyamano. How about living in Xie's house for one year and then in Zhuo's house for one year? "
The emperor has the final say, and there is no better way. Everyone can only agree.
In this way, I have a dual identity, that is, the eldest son of the Hou family in Ningguo and the second young master of the Zhuo family. Xie Zhuo and his family, who had never been in contact, became as close as relatives.
