Chapter 426: Meeting the Emperor, Step 2…

Sima Lin suddenly stood up. Seeing this, Eunuch Qiao hurriedly reached out to support him, fearing that he would accidentally bump into something due to his excitement.

Sima Lin walked down the stairs slowly with heavy steps. Seeing this, Prince Rui and Miao Xian immediately stood up.

The emperor walked up to Miao Xian and stopped, staring intently at the young man in front of him who was related to him by blood, and carefully examined his face.

Judging from appearance alone, Miao Xian does look half very similar to the deceased Concubine Yun, and the other half undoubtedly inherited the genetic characteristics of the Sima family.

Miao Xian is tall and straight, about 1.9 meters in height, but in comparison, his body looks a little thin.

His facial features were clearly defined, resolute yet gentle. His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, but they did not give him a heroic look. The contradiction did not appear too abrupt.

His eyes were deep and bright, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, shining brightly, revealing intelligence and determination in his eyes.

His nose was straight and tall, his lips were slightly upturned, and he had a faint smile on his face. This smile was both friendly and a little mysterious.

"You look quite scholarly. Have you ever been to school?" Sima Lin looked at Miao Xian with great satisfaction.

Miao Xian's usual style is like this, his tone is calm and nonchalant, as if he doesn't care about anything in the world.

"I read every day. For me, reading is not only a comfort, but also a tool for enlightenment..."

When Sima Lin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, thinking: Oh my god, does this kid want to practice Taoism?

He continued, "Miao Xian, is the 'Miao' in your name because the family that adopted you had the surname Miao?"

Miao Xian nodded slightly to show his affirmation.

Sima Lin then asked, "So, are you married?"

Miao Xian frowned slightly, shook his head, and replied, "No, I know nothing about my own life experience. I don't know who I am or where I come from, so why should I cause trouble to myself and others..."

Emperor Sima Lin looked at the young man in front of him who claimed to be his son, and secretly sighed in his heart, how could this child look like an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life, it was really puzzling.

He rubbed his temples and said worriedly, "If that's the case, how do you make a living on a daily basis?"

Miao Xian replied casually: "Cat seller!"

After hearing this, Emperor Sima Lin couldn't help scratching his ears, wondering if he had misheard. He quickly asked, "What? What did you say? What are you selling? Who?"

Miao Xian replied calmly, "I'm a businessman who specializes in breeding kittens and selling them..."

After hearing this, Sima Lin was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth and exclaimed: "Wow!"

Sima Lin frowned and stared at Sima Hui sharply, as if trying to find a clue from his expression.

He slowly asked, "Have all the blood test procedures been completed? Are there any errors or omissions?"

King Rui Sima Hui stood respectfully aside, holding a document carefully in his hands. He lowered his head and replied in a low and serious voice:

"Father, all the inspection procedures have been completed. There is absolutely no mistake. This is indeed my seventh brother..."

The emperor silently returned to the dragon throne and sat down, supporting his head with one hand and gently waving the other hand, interrupting Sima Hui's words.

His eyes were firm, and his tone was unquestionable as he said, "Alright, I know what's going on. You're my son, don't I know that? If you weren't absolutely certain, why would you report this to me?"

Sima Hui quickly lowered his head to show his obedience and respect, and responded, "Your Majesty is wise, I just hope to get your confirmation again in case of any unexpected situation.

After all, the Seventh Brother has been stolen for many years and has now suddenly returned, so we must remain vigilant and ensure that everything is safe and secure."

The emperor smiled slightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

He stood up, walked steadily towards Sima Hui, patted his shoulder affectionately, and said earnestly:

"Haha, I naturally understand your good intentions, but I only need one glance to recognize that this is indeed my own flesh and blood."

Sima Hui bowed slightly.

The emperor continued, "Moreover, the moment I saw him, I felt a sense of blood connection, a feeling that cannot be expressed in words.

And that fake guy, no matter what, can't give me that feeling."

Sima Hui smiled faintly and agreed, "Yes, bloodline is something that is truly difficult to understand. But when it truly arrives, that feeling is truly unstoppable."

However, Sima Hui wondered to himself, how could the emperor be so sure if there was no blood test?

He must have known something beforehand, which is why he was so sure that this was the real Seventh Brother.

Emperor Sima Lin paced back and forth in the imperial study, his hands behind his back. "How did you two meet?"

Sima Wei bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I am your adopted daughter. Princess Yun Wanyue once bought your seventh brother's kitten. When she arrived at your cattery and saw you, her first impression was that you were my real brother..."

The emperor frowned when he heard it was the little princess. "Even after I conferred the title on her, she hasn't come to the palace to express her gratitude. Did you know about this?"

Sima Wei nodded. "Her nanny asked me today that they have been submitting a petition to the palace to express their gratitude for a long time, but have not received any approval. There has been no rejection, nor approval. It has fallen on deaf ears..."

Sima Hui was a little nervous, wondering how the emperor would treat Yue'er.

After all, Yue'er was his adopted daughter, and he didn't want this incident to affect their relationship. He carefully observed the emperor's expression, trying to read some clues from it.

The emperor turned his head to look at Eunuch Qiao, and said with a gloomy face: "The harem is really getting more and more arrogant. How dare they ignore the princess I canonized like this? Isn't this a slap in my face?"

Eunuch Qiao quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to respond.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Well, since the princess has made great contributions, she should be promoted to princess directly. Then give her the Jade Butterfly and she will be called Sima Wanyue!"

Sima Wei's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly knelt down and pleaded, "Father, Yue'er is still young. If she is promoted to princess at this time, she will probably become the target of everyone's attack. Please think twice."

However, Sima Lin looked at him with disdain and sneered, "I just want to establish her and make those people inferior to Yue'er. Humph! What's more, she also brought back your seventh brother. This is a great achievement, so she should be rewarded!"

After saying this, Sima Lin looked at Sima Wei mockingly and said in a bad tone, "As her adoptive father, you can't even do this. How can you protect her from the wind and rain in the future? What use are you to her?"

Sima Wei opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but finally closed it, only muttering in his heart:

"This is your harem. If Yue'er is really so high-profile, don't blame us if the beauties in your harem are bullied!

Besides, you haven't seen the way she pulls your big son's ears, like a mountain king..."

...

The emperor turned back to his desk, spread out a new piece of paper, picked up the imperial brush, and wrote a few words.

"Sima Xian."

He looked up and said to Eunuch Qiao, "Notify the clan office and find a suitable time to open the ancestral hall and officially register Sima Xian and Sima Wanyue as Jade Butterflies..."

Sima Lin looked at Sima Hui and Sima Xian below and continued, "Xian'er will be named Prince Xian. Live a good life in the capital from now on. As for that fake, I'll leave it to you to deal with!"

Eunuch Qiao took the order and left with a brisk pace, seeming to be excited about this happy event in the royal family.

Sima Xian stood there with his eyes as clear as water and a faint smile on his lips.

He didn't feel too much in his heart, he just felt as if all this was already arranged by fate.

Emperor Sima Lin looked at his two sons and felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart.

He knew that no matter how the future changed, as long as the two brothers could work together, the royal family would be able to prosper forever.

So he smiled and nodded, as if at this moment he had seen the future glory of the royal family.
