Chapter 758 - 365: The Fortunate One_2
Zhu Sujin’s seat was right next to the Emperor, the first place on one side.
The Grand Empress Dowager teased each of the three little ones in turn, then her gaze settled on Zhu Minjia. She expressed her suspicion, "Why does this child look somewhat familiar to Us?"
Empress Dowager Min laughed, "She resembles the Crown Prince, so isn’t she bound to look familiar?"
The Grand Empress Dowager shook her head, "This child really doesn’t look like the Crown Prince."
Zhu Sujin then smiled, "Auntie Yue and Cousin Qian both say Minjia resembles my mother. I took a good look, and she really does."
"Oh?" Emperor Qianwu exclaimed in surprise, quickly turning his body to look at the child, and the wet nurse holding Zhu Minjia hurriedly moved closer to him.
Emperor Qianwu looked at the child and then reached out to hold her. Because the child was swaddled tight like a little chili pepper with a package-blanket, and even if the Emperor did not know how to hold a soft and cuddly babe, it was nevertheless easy to hold her. The Grand Empress Dowager next to him even instructed, "Support the child’s neck, little ones are soft."
Emperor Qianwu heeded the advice and propped the little one’s neck with one large hand.
Consort Yang and several of the Emperor’s older ladies were shocked beyond measure, for in their memories, His Majesty had never held a child, let alone took more than a few glances at one.
