Chapter 794: Rongyang
The sun sets in the west, and the glazed tile roof of Huaqing Palace is plated with a layer of golden light, and the golden light complements the bustle of Huaqing Palace.
As soon as the news of the queen's birth of the emperor's eldest son spread, the former dynasty and the harem were all boiling, and even the common people couldn't help but be jubilant.
As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, the queen was pregnant, and now in the first year of Taifeng, the emperor has an eldest son, which is a great joy for the royal family, and a great joy for the people.
The emperor has an heir, which is more conducive to the stability of the dynasty, who does not want to live in a peaceful and prosperous world, and does not have to experience the war and displacement brought about by the change of the throne.
According to the rules of the Great Qi royal family, the royal family members must enter the palace to congratulate as soon as they get the news.
The princess of Anxi County specially went to the palace of Rongping County and invited the newly favored lord of Rongyang County to enter the palace to congratulate her.
The lord of Rongyang originally wanted to refuse, but the king of Rongping persuaded her to go.
"What you have to do and what you do, as for me, don't worry, my brother is not a fool, no matter what, he will never do stupid things. You have to remember that with the favor of the queen, your marriage and your future life will be much smoother. ”
The county lord of Rongyang lowered his head and thought about it, so he changed his clothes and followed the princess of Anxi into the palace.
In the Huaqing Palace, Bai Chenghuan had just woken up.
Xiao Shaotang left the dynasty today and stayed by her side, Bai Chenghuan opened his eyes and saw him for the first time, and his heart suddenly calmed down after experiencing panic and fear.
"Huanhuan, this time, it's really hard for you, since you are a prince, then we won't give birth in the future, and we won't give birth again......"
It hurts so much, he can't replace her.
Bai Chenghuan looked at the little baby in swaddling clothes and was noncommittal.
Xu Chenghuan experienced such pain eight times in his previous life.
Five sons and three daughters, none of them survived.
She was able to give birth to a healthy child smoothly in this life, and she has changed the unbearable fate of her previous life, although it hurts, but if she has a few more, she is also willing.
Xiao Shaotang comforted her with soft words beside Bai Chenghuan again, and Song Changqing took the two deputy ministers and the officials of the six ministries into the palace to congratulate.
Xiao Shaotang had no choice but to hurriedly go to the imperial study to accept the congratulations of the ministers, and left Li and Duchess Weiguo to accompany Bai Chenghuan and the child.
The room was smoked with elegant lily incense, and the bedding during production was also changed, Bai Chenghuan only felt that he had slept extremely peacefully and comfortably, and his body was still slightly painful, and the whole person felt lazy and lazy.
Bai Chenghuan felt as if his muscles and bones had been disassembled again, but as long as he saw the small lump of meat held in the arms of the Duchess of Weiguo, those pains and tiredness became worth it again.
She stretched out her finger and gently poked her son's little face:
"He's so ugly. ”
Li, who was standing on the side, opened her hand:
"What a poke, it's not light or heavy! You were born much uglier than the emperor's eldest son!"
Bai Chenghuan couldn't help laughing:
"So, he's still ugly!"
"Nonsense, who dares to say that the eldest son of the emperor is ugly?"
Li took the child from the hands of the Duchess of Weiguo, and the baby was too good:
"Look, this little face looks so much like the emperor, it's a blessed one at first glance!"
Bai Chenghuan laughed even harder, she had never seen the Li family so kind to anyone other than her.
Like his mother, the eldest son of the emperor, who had slept for a long time, seemed to be woken up by his mother, and he cried, and Li Shi counted down Bai Chenghuan a few words, and called the nurse and the waiting grandmother to come over to see if the child was hungry and whether he wanted to change the diaper, and the house was busy again.
In the chaos, Bai Chenghuan stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the placket of Duchess Weiguo's clothes:
"Mother, have you forgiven me? I remember when I was in the most pain, I seemed to hear you speak, is it true?"
Originally, I thought it was a dream, but now that I think about it, it shouldn't be a dream.
Duchess Weiguo lowered her head, looked at the hand that grabbed her shirt as if she was a child, and was silent for a moment before saying:
"How can I forgive you?"
Bai Chenghuan's slender fingers froze there.
Although her mother didn't give her a good face, she thought that at this time, her mother could stay by her side and must forgive her.
Duchess Weiguo quickly covered the back of Bai Chenghuan's hand with her slightly sweaty palm, and her eyes were a little red:
"I can't blame you for this incident, so how can I forgive you? I am not qualified to say anything to you to forgive or not, it was Xu Shuning who harmed that child, not your ......."
"Mother!"
Bai Chenghuan's loss dissipated instantly, stretched out his hand, and embraced Duchess Weiguo boldly as before, and Duchess Weiguo also hesitantly stretched out her hand, and finally took her in her arms.
When she stood outside last night and was nervous and worried, she actually quietly swore to the gods that as long as Cheng Huan could give birth to the child peacefully, she would not care about anything.
At this time, her daughter was lost and recovered, and in the past six months, the sadness and loneliness in her heart have been healed without medicine.
When the princess of Anxi County walked in with the lord of Rongyang, she saw that it was the Duchess of Weiguo, who had not shown up for half a year, guarding the queen's side, and both of them were a little surprised that they couldn't hide it.
The ladies of the capital have long wondered whether the Weiguo Mansion has fallen out of favor in front of the queen, and even many people have secretly discussed, wanting to take the opportunity of the queen's mother to give birth to a child to take a good look at the attitude of the Weiguo Mansion.
If the people from the Weiguo Mansion don't even show up for such a big thing, then there is really a problem.
Among them, the princess of Anxi County was particularly concerned, and she had been thinking about how to guide the county lord of Rongyang to ask about the Weiguo Mansion "unintentionally".
However, the county lord of Rongyang is also a seven-trick and exquisite, no matter how the princess of Anxi County intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the relationship between the queen and the Weiguo Mansion, she only smiled slightly, and did not agree.
The princess of Anxi County was thinking about whether to take risks, went into battle by herself, and came to ask in person, where did she think that the Duchess of Weiguo was here early in the morning?
And looking at the obviously palace-style dress on the Duchess of Weiguo, the princess of Anxi County can also guess that the Duchess of Weiguo probably entered the palace last night.
If that's the case, the day when the Weiguo Mansion will fall out of favor is still far away......
The princess of Anxi County hurriedly put on a smiling face, saluted Bai Chenghuan with the county lord of Rongyang, and greeted the Duchess of Weiguo with a smile.
Duchess Weiguo's eyes were sharp, and she had long seen the surprised look of Princess Anxi County, but she also hid the coldness in her heart very well, and greeted them with a smile.
The princess of Anxi County entered the palace mainly to have a relationship with the queen who gave birth to a prince and had a more stable status, so she only looked at the little prince for a while, gave the baby she brought, and sat in front of Bai Chenghuan's bed to talk to her again.
And the lord of Rongyang is a young man, and he is obviously more interested in the newborn little prince.
"Good baby, what's your name? I'm your aunt, hello......"
The county lord of Rongyang was full of interest, and the little prince who was nesting in the arms of Mrs. Yuguo with bright black eyes and foaming greeted him with a curious smile.
Li Shi looked at the curious girl in front of him, and there was a smile on his face:
"The name of the eldest son of the emperor still needs to be agreed between the clan and the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor and the queen have already taken the name of Yongge'er, and the county lord can call her Ayong. ”
"Ayong, forever, it's so good. ”
The county lord of Rongyang praised it with a sparkling look in his eyes.
There are not many royal heirs, and there have been no newborns for several years, and at this time, seeing this fragrant and soft little baby, the heart of the lord of Rongyang County is really soft into a puddle of water.
Ah Yong, who had just come to the world on the first day, accompanied by the laughter of the county lord of Rongyang, slowly moved his little head from side to side, and his cute appearance provoked the county lord of Rongyang to reach out to hug Ah Yong.
"Ayong, Ayong, would you like to give your aunt a hug?"
Li looked at the sweet-smiling girl in front of him, and liked her very much, but he was a little difficult:
"The county lord doesn't know that the newborn baby is the most difficult to hold, and the county wants to hug her, so he simply waits for him to be older and tougher, so it's easier to hug him. ”
The county lord of Rongyang has been dependent on his brother since he was a child, and he is a cautious and well-behaved character, and when he saw the hesitation on Mrs. Qiu's face as soon as he said this, he already regretted it a little-
The identity of the emperor's eldest son is not an ordinary honor, where can outsiders casually hold it in their hands?
But Mrs. Qiu Guo explained to her so seriously, and did not perfunctory her, and was very grateful in her heart, so she smiled and said:
"Okay, then I'll wait for Ah Yong to be older, and come to the palace every day to play with him!"
When Bai Xianghuan walked in with Xiao Shaotang, what he heard was the girl's laughter like a silver bell.
The laughter echoed in the inner room, and when one heard it, it was as if something was rippling in the heart.
Bai Xianghuan secretly glanced at a girl for the first time, and at this glance, he recognized the woman who was squinting and smiling happily at his little nephew, who was the leader of the women at the spring banquet, with very beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and the most talented lord of Rongyang.
But Bai Xianghuan just glanced at it and lowered his head.
In front of such an outstanding woman, he actually felt a little inferior in his heart.
But when the county lord of Rongyang heard that the emperor had come in, he also hurriedly came over with the Li family to salute, and when he saw Bai Xianghuan, he intuitively felt that the uncle in front of him, who looked handsome and elegant, looked at her with a little dodgy, so he became narrow.
After saluting, she pointed to Bai Xianghuan and smiled at the little baby in Li's arms:
"Ayong Ayong, look, your uncle has come to see you! Uncle Guo, why don't you come to meet the eldest son of the emperor?"
Bai Xianghuan originally wanted to walk away, but he could only stop, walked to Li's side, and went to see his nephew.
But as soon as he touched the smiling eyes of the county lord of Rongyang, Bai Xianghuan not only lowered his head, but also a burning red flew on his cheeks.
"Ayon...... This, this is a good name! It looks like the emperor!"
Bai Xianghuanzai carefully looked at his nephew for a while before he briefly praised him.
Then ignoring the narrow eyes of the lord of Rongyang on the side, he turned around and fled.
The county lord of Rongyang successfully teased Bai Xianghuan once, his smile became a little brighter, and he smiled with Li:
"Oh, I didn't expect Uncle Guo to be such a shy person, and he has always had a gentle temper, and he is so blessed to have such a son!"
It was the first time she had heard a woman praise her son in front of her, and although she didn't know what it meant, she was still keenly aware of his son's strangeness.
Turning her head to look at the county lord Rongyang standing beside her, Li's heart moved.
Such a good girl, but she doesn't know if her son is worthy of it......
At this time, more and more people came to congratulate him, and they all wanted to take a look at the emperor's eldest son, and the Li family didn't care about it anymore, and walked over to Bai Chenghuan with Ah Yong in his arms.
Bai Chenghuan had just finished giving birth and was still tired, and Imperial Doctor Wang had already explained that he was not allowed to be tired.
Therefore, the people who came to congratulate the queen also said a few words to the queen, and then saw the emperor's eldest son, and they also retired with interest.
In the meantime, Xiao Shaotang has been standing in front of Bai Chenghuan's bed, and whoever dares to talk to the queen will receive the emperor's cold eyes.
Xiao Shaotang From today onwards, he hates the rules of the queen giving birth to a child and the courtiers and daughters coming to congratulate her, so that Huanhuan, who needs to rest the most, can't eat well or sleep well, what's the picture?
The lord of Rongyang remembered to talk to the queen mother and curry favor, but the queen had already fallen asleep again.
She had some regrets, but she could only retire, and when she left, she reluctantly said goodbye to Ayong, who didn't know anything.
When Bai Chenghuan woke up early in the morning of the second day and was able to walk around on the ground, Li accompanied her in the inner room and told her about the lord of Rongyang.
"No girl has ever teased your brother's wooden man, this Rongyang county lord is lively and good-looking, that is...... Hey, your brother is still white and unworthy of others. ”
Li didn't hide his thoughts, and Bai Chenghuan naturally understood it.
Her dark eyes revealed a bit of anticipation and unexpected surprise, and she joked with Li:
"Where is my brother not worthy of the lord of Rongyang? Although my brother is a white body, my brother has a clean and honest character, and he is also the son of Cheng'en Gong, what is wrong?"
"Besides, as long as the two are happy, where is there anything worthy of not being worthy - but don't worry, mother, and wait for me to find out what the Lord of Rongyang means. ”
After all, the county lord of Rongyang has a lively temperament, and he doesn't know if that kind of amusing Bai Xianghuan is caused by her straightforward and lively temperament, but she just thinks it's so interesting, or if there is really something to do, you have to test it before you can be sure.
When Li was said by Bai Chenghuan, a little hope rose in his heart, but he never showed it in front of others.
So several times in a row, as long as Bai Xianghuan entered the palace, he could always meet the lord of Rongyang intentionally or unintentionally.
It's reasonable to say once or twice, but on the day of the full moon of the emperor's eldest son, Bai Xianghuan has already "encountered" the lord of Rongyang five times!
Bai Xianghuan didn't believe it was a coincidence.
However, before he could ask Li and Bai Chenghuan, he was blocked by the county lord of Rongyang first.
"Why is it that as long as I enter the palace recently, no matter which way I go, I can meet the prince of Chengen?
