This year is the third year of King Mu's reign in the East Palace, the spring breeze blows, and the apricot blossoms on the trees are sprinkled and falling.

In the past two years, many flowers and trees have been transplanted in Beijing, and on the streets paved with bluestone roads, all the apricot petals are one by one, and a little woman carries a basket and carefully picks them up, ready to take them back to brew apricot blossom wine or make some apricot blossom cakes, and children play under the flowers.

When the scholars who came to Beijing from other places to take the exam saw this scene, they couldn't help but admire, it was really a paradise on earth.

In the past two years, the security of the capital has been in the cooperation of Dali Temple and Shuntianfu, so good that the people do not leave the road behind and do not lock the door at night.

Xi Shan rode a horse all the way out of the East Palace and went straight to the Hanlin Courtyard, Ning Shi saw him grinning and smirking, and asked with his eyebrows together, "What?" What are you laughing at? ”

"What about Your Highness?" Xi Shan's eyebrows couldn't hide the joy.

"Inside, I am discussing with Xie Hanlin and Jun Hanlin about building dams and canals." After Ning Shi finished speaking, he turned his head and said strangely, "What made you come in a hurry and smile like this?" ”

"What do you think is the matter?" Xi Shan patted Ning Shiyi on the shoulder, "I rushed here from the East Palace, naturally to report the good news!" ”

Ning Shi seemed to have an understanding, and he was also overjoyed: "Could it be a mother......

Xi Shan didn't wait for him to finish, and smiled happily: "Hey, hey, hey!" Look! Isn't this a big joy! ”

Ning Shi followed with a smile: "Your Highness has been discussing with Xie Hanlin and Jun Hanlin for a while, I estimate that I will come out later, you wait." ”

"Good!"

Xi Shan married Su Ying two years ago, although Xi Shan served Yu Heng, and he did whatever the job of the housekeeper and coachman, but he actually clearly was a high-ranking guard, not a house slave, at the beginning, Ji Yunliu dug Su Ying from the restaurant to be a cook, and did not let her write a deed of sale, after the two got married, the husband and wife were still waiting for Ji Yunliu and Yu Heng in the East Palace, and wanted to buy a small house not far from the East Palace, but was stopped by Ji Yunliu, and the princess directly drew a few courtyards in the East Palace for people to repair, He made a house for these people.

When Yu Cheng lived in the East Palace, the concubines were counted in the number of a dozen and a dozen, and now that Yu Heng has moved here, except for him and Ji Yunliu who live in the main courtyard, the others are empty anyway, so it is better to reward his loyal guards as a house.

A year ago, Yu Heng gave Jiu Niang to Ning Shi, Jiu Niang, like Ning Shi, are both high-grade guards, and the two are also a match made in heaven, and Xi Shan has become neighbors, and occasionally when they are not on duty, they can also visit the door.

Even if the two of them got married later than His Royal Highness the Prince, they became fathers earlier than the Prince.

In the past three years, not only the subordinates of the East Palace have been looking forward to the crown princess's belly, but even the emperor will read it from time to time, he wants the emperor's grandson.

The four princes married earlier than Yuheng, the year before gave birth to a daughter, the emperor was happy, rewarded the sister with the title of a county lord, two years ago, King Jin and Xie Siniang got married, the year before last Princess Jin was also pregnant, now there are six months, wait and wait, only His Royal Highness the Prince has no movement here, some good things in the palace concubines are ready to move, from time to time to the emperor to blow the pillow wind, to put their nieces, cousins, nieces...... Carry it into the East Palace to serve His Royal Highness the Prince.

The prince has been alone with the princess for three years, but the princess has not given birth to an egg, has the prince become a sweet spot in the eyes of the concubines?

As long as you have nieces, cousins, and nieces...... Lay an egg, and in the future, you can be honored to the edge of the sky!

While the concubines were thinking in their hearts, they also had to secretly pray that the princess of Jin had a daughter in her belly, so that she would have nieces, cousins, nieces, and nieces...... Carry it into the East Palace to give birth to an emperor's eldest grandson!

The women in the palace are indeed idle, and most of the emperor's concubines have been in Kunhe Palace since the hunting ground, so that the concubines who no longer need to perform palace fights can come up with full hope for things that have disappeared at all.

In the past few years, the emperor has seen the prince rise to Zhulou, the prince has been reformed, the Zhao has been prosperous day by day, and the folds on the table have been less and less day by day, but he has not seen the prince relax at all. While the emperor was relieved, he was naturally not very satisfied.

That is, the prince has no heirs!

However, the emperor is the king of a country, so he can't put down his shelf and talk bitterly to the prince: you should quickly let your daughter-in-law give me a grandson.

Whenever the emperor wanted to give the prince a side concubine, the prince had not yet expressed it, and King An always knelt out first, wept bitterly and kowtowed, "Father, have you forgotten your son's side concubine Tong?" The crown prince and the crown princess are in harmony, so why do you want outsiders to intervene? It's unfair to the prince, and it's unfair to the little lady! ”

The emperor couldn't kick to death this son who suddenly "changed his ways" in front of everyone, so he had to keep the matter of the side concubine down.

Someone with a heart outside has opened their brains to the sky, thinking about how to make their nieces, cousins, and nieces every day...... carried into the East Palace to give birth to the prince's eldest grandson, the crown princess still felt at ease and calculated the safe period to avoid pregnancy.

It wasn't until eighteen years later, thinking that if he dragged it out any longer, he might become a sinner in the Jokhang through the ages, so he asked the imperial doctor to prescribe conditioning medicine, and he bathed and fasted for seven days, and sincerely asked for a child charm, and began to prepare for pregnancy.

It's just that the crown princess began to prepare for pregnancy at the beginning of the first month, and in February, Xi Shan came to report the good news to the prince!

The sun was slightly westerly, Jun Zinian opened the door, and Yu Heng stepped out of it.

Jokhang Jun School, Martial Arts Hall in the country together has more than 120, Jokhang is now prosperous, trade between places is naturally more prosperous, the official road is being built at the same time, the canals are also being dug in various places, this kind of irrigation and boating together with the canal is a big project, the prince must discuss with everyone before promulgating the decree.

"Your Highness!" Xi Shan saw the prince come out, and hurriedly greeted him, "Your Highness, Niangniang asked you to go back to the palace and said that she had something important to tell you!" ”

Those two "important things" were bitten by Xi Shan very hard, which made Xie Feiang and Jun Zinian curious.

Yu Heng turned his head and looked at Xi Shan, his eyes were dark: "What new dishes did the crown princess ask your daughter-in-law to make?" ”

Now that Xi Shan is married to Su Ying, if Ji Yunliu has any new dishes here, Xi Shan will not be left behind, he can open another small stove every day, and he can also invite those guards in the house to eat and drink in his courtyard together, so he is not happy.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Xi Shan squinted with a smile, "It's not a new dish, it's a ......" He dragged a long voice and made a deep sigh, "Today's Niangniang has a bad appetite, she vomited lunch, Xia Xi invited Imperial Doctor Zhang, and Imperial Doctor Zhang said that it was Niangniang's joy!" ”

"Yikes!"

Jun Zinian and Xie Feiang were all smiling, and quickly bowed their hands to congratulate him, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

In the few small servants guarding outside, Zhao Wan and Gu He also knelt down in unison to congratulate, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

It's not easy, not only the emperor and queen, but even the people of the world are looking forward to when Dazhao will have the emperor's eldest grandson.

"Hmm." The prince replied lightly, and walked to the front door calmly, "Go home." ”

Xi Shan and Ning Shi looked at each other and quickly followed.

Jun Zinian and Xie Feiang also glanced at each other.

No, the prince has been married for three years without joy, and now he hears that he is going to be a father, but he doesn't see the slightest joy, doesn't the prince expect that he will have sons and daughters to inherit his knees?

As soon as he thought like this, he saw the prince "bang" and rolled down the steps of the Hanlin Academy.

Junzi Nian and Xie Feiang and Xi Shan and Ning Shi: ......
