It is another year when the spring flowers are blooming, and the peach blossoms that are half-bloomed in the morning are especially hung with dewdrops, and the unique fragrance of peach blossoms almost spreads the entire Xiangfu. And Shang Shuling, Su Zhoucheng's eldest grandson, fell to the ground with his voice in such a bright spring morning.

Su Zhoucheng, who was waiting outside the delivery room, and Su Zhengxun, the current member of the Chinese Library, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the door, I couldn't help but feel a look of anticipation.

Su Zhoucheng was happy, but he didn't forget to tell the maid next to him, "Go and sue Sù Shi Niang." Uh, wait......" He saw at a glance that the door of the delivery room was opened from the inside, and the two jubilant midwives walked out with their big red swaddling clothes, and when they saw the two people guarding the door, they bowed down, and kept congratulating in their mouths: "Congratulations to Ah Lang, congratulations to Da Lang Jun." ”

As soon as Su Zhoucheng saw the two grandmothers smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth, he understood that his daughter-in-law must have added a grandson to himself, and he was overjoyed and ordered: "Go and tell Shi Niang that she has a nephew." The little maid happily accepted her order and walked happily out the door.

Su Zhengxun took the lead and asked, "How is Ah Yuan's health?" "The eldest son of the prime minister, the future uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, has always been full of confidence, elegant and calm, but now he is disheveled, his face is haggard, and his eyes are full of anxiety and worry.

"Mother and son are safe." The midwife, who was held by Su Zhengxun, hurriedly replied, and squinted at Su Zhoucheng with a smile, "The eldest mother has added a white and chubby grandson to Ah Lang and the lady." As he spoke, he handed over the tightly wrapped child in his arms.

Su Zhoucheng is a skilled hand in holding children, and Su Yan has been hugged by her father for a while almost every day since she was born. Su Zhoucheng carefully took his grandson, and Su Zhengxun also came over and gently uncovered the corner of the swaddling clothes, revealing a red baby face inside.

Su Zhengxun, who was a father for the first time, almost had red eyes, and only felt that his children were good everywhere.

Su Zhoucheng, who became a grandfather, was also full of relief, he hugged his grandson earlier than the saint, which is really proud. Therefore, the key to having a son depends on the quality.

Lu was busy all night in the delivery room, he was nervous before, but now that his eldest daughter-in-law gave birth safely, he asked the doctor to check the pulse and make sure that there was no problem, so he took care of himself and walked out of the sixth. Then she saw the father and son who were stupidly playing at the door to the child, raised her eyebrows, and shouted: "What are you two doing, it's cold in early spring, let the nurse carry the child in after seeing it." ”

Su Zhengxun hurriedly saluted the Lu family, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Lu said with a smile: "It's your daughter-in-law who suffers hard, go in and see her." As an enlightened mother-in-law, Lu really doesn't have the idea that the delivery room is a fierce place and can't let his son in.

"Hmm." Su Zhengxun answered and entered the door.

The son can go in, and the father-in-law can only stare at the door regretfully, thinking about the cute little face of the little grandson. Lu Shi glanced at her husband angrily, "Did you tell someone to sue Sù Ashu?" ”

Su Zhoucheng hurriedly said: "It's sent." He also diligently helped his wife, "The lady works hard, and she helps the lady to have a good rest for her husband." ”

Although the Lu family is tired, the spirit is good, the third generation of their family was born safely, and another has been determined to be in the belly of the daughter-in-law, and in eight months, there will be another grandson or granddaughter.

Xiangfu West Road, there is a delicate and elegant courtyard, the name of the courtyard is Wutong, it is the time when this courtyard was built, Lu Taifu personally inscribed. After Su Zhoucheng moved from the Yasukuni Mansion, Su Yan has been living in this courtyard.

"Banxia, you go to Songfeng Ju to see, how is your sister-in-law?" Su Yan also didn't sleep all night, standing in front of the half-open window, looking out anxiously. At dinner yesterday, the sister-in-law was vivid, she also wanted to go to the delivery room to guard, but her father and mother drove back to the house. Now that she has waited all night and has not moved, she is really anxious to die.

Banxia said crisply, and then walked out with people, just happened to meet the little maid who came to report the news, Banxia, who got the news, took the little maid's hand and brought her to the corridor, "You wait here, I'll go tell Shi Niang the good news." ”

Su Yan had already heard it just now, and when she learned that her sister-in-law gave birth safely, she was overjoyed for a while, "Take a few gold beads to reward her." "The import of Tian Ding is a great joy, not to mention the birth of the eldest grandson.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was full of joy this day, and the Guogong Mansion rushed over when they got the letter.

Wang entered the bedroom, looked at his great-grandson, squinted his eyes with a smile, and kept boasting, "This child is really handsome, exactly like Shiro." He patted Gu Yuan again and said, "Good boy, you have worked hard, you are good at giving birth." The old lady was very satisfied with the fact that this granddaughter-in-law gave birth to a son less than two years after entering the door, and said to Lu in private: "Ah Hui, your daughter-in-law has chosen well, and she is a blessed and good child." ”

Lu is very satisfied with her two daughters-in-law, she is not the kind of evil mother-in-law who will treat her daughter-in-law harshly, but she has a lot of pity for her two daughters-in-law, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very close.

"Wu Niang is also pregnant?" Wang asked quietly. At this time, it was customary for a woman to be pregnant for less than three months, so she could not go around talking about it.

Lu nodded slightly, with an unstoppable smile on his face: "It's been almost two months." ”

"Okay, okay." Wang became more and more happy.

In the past two years, the happy events in the family are really one after another, first the eldest grandson and the fourth grandson are both on the list, Shiro is the champion of Enke, although the eldest grandson is not ranked in the top three, but also in the top ten. That year, the Yasukuni Mansion really occupied most of the scenery of the upper capital.

Su Zhengxun followed the small Dengke, and after the Qionglin banquet, he married Gu Yuan. Su Zhengyuan was also happy to have a second son. The most gratifying thing is that both brothers have been reused by the emperor, especially Su Zhengxun, as the eldest son of Su Zhoucheng, he was personally appointed by the saint in less than a year and became a scholar in the middle school, envying how many officials in Beijing.

When Wang mentions this grandson now, he can't stop grinning. Isn't this how a noble lady of her age got together, first than her husband, then than her son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, and now that she is older, she begins to compare her grandson and granddaughter.

Now in the entire Shangdu, when it comes to grandchildren in the family, there are few people who can compare to the Wang family. Every time they get together, when it comes to the juniors in the family, the Wang family only needs to sit and laugh, and they don't need words to show off.

"Ah Jia, how is Qi Niang?" Lu thought of his niece, who had been married for half a year, and asked with concern. Since they moved, although the two families are only separated by a wall, they are really two houses, and she really doesn't know much about what happened to Su Rong, a niece, after marriage.

However, when the eldest princess of Changping came to see Gu Yuan a few days ago, she mentioned one thing to her, it seemed that a girl next to Su Rong was pregnant.

At the mention of Su Rong, Wang sighed and said insincerely: "The girl married out of our family is the most virtuous Qi Niang." Wang didn't understand what his clever granddaughter thought at all, even if she was a royal heir, no one asked the princess to give birth to a son within three years of her marriage.

What's more, you have only been married for half a year, and it is the time for good honey to blend oil, why don't you take care of your husband and give birth to your eldest son as soon as possible, what are you doing in a hurry to send the girl around you to your husband's bed? Send it and send it, as a princess, it's not good to be jealous, we all know this. But how can you get a girl to get a child?

When the Wang family learned the news, they couldn't wait to rush to King Wu's mansion and ask Su Rong, are you stupid! When Wang mentioned Su Rong, he had a woky expression.

Lu understands very well that the person her own daughter wants to marry is the prince, and the content of her daughter's education in the past two years is not virtuous and virtuous, not jealous, and even encourages her daughter in private, just to occupy the prince, he doesn't say that he wants to sleep with others, you should not know. Her daughter, the most virtuous woman in the world, she taught her like this, her niece is a princess, why should she use the queen's standards to demand herself, is this to be more virtuous than Princess Zhu Erniang of Zhou?

Yes, the second mother of the Zhu family became the new princess of Zhou three months ago. The original Princess Zhou was ill more than a year ago, four months after Wang Shuyun entered the palace. After May Seven, the emperor directly pointed to the second mother of the Zhu family as the new princess of Zhou.

"In ten days, Ah Shu will get married." Wang sighed and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to do it then, so I'll ask the eldest lady and the third mother to come over to help you." "Lu's two daughters-in-law are in confinement, and the other is pregnant, and when they want to raise a baby, they can't help more.

Lu Shi hurriedly said: "I was just about to mention it to my aunt and sister-in-law." Thinking that his youngest daughter was about to get married, Lu was really happy and sad in his heart, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. Especially when her daughter is going to marry into the East Palace, her future life can no longer be predicted, which makes the Lu family worry about sleepless nights recently.

Su Yan, who was about to get married, was sitting on the edge of her sister-in-law's bed, looking at the little doll sleeping next to her with curiosity.

It's really small, as long as one of her arms, her face is still red, and her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to her eldest brother. She slowly stretched out an index finger and carefully touched the little doll's face. "It's so tender." Su Yan exclaimed.

Gu Yuan lay on the bed and looked at his sister-in-law funny, "Little dolls are like this." ”

The little doll sleeping next to her mother seemed to feel uncomfortable on her face, and her small body twisted, causing Su Yan to exclaim again, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, he can still move." ”

How fresh, her son is a living doll, it's strange that he can't move. Gu Yuan glanced at Su Yan and opened his mouth to rush people, "Ashu, my nephew has also seen it, you should go back." "After all, she is still in confinement, and Su Yan is about to get married, so it's not good to keep her here longer.

Su Yan was very reluctant, she begged her mother for a while before she was allowed to come to see her nephew, and only this time today. After today, I want to see my nephew again, I don't know how long I will have to wait.

"Shi Niang, it's time for us to go." Female Master Lu also persuaded softly.

Su Yan took out a delicate longevity lock, put it next to the little doll's pillow, reached out and touched him gently, before getting up and saying, "Sister-in-law, you take care of it, I'll go first." ”

Gu Yuan is also full of reluctance, in ten days, her sister-in-law will get married, and she will be confined, so there is no chance to see her get married.

"Ashu, you have become a parent, don't pay attention to the words of those sour and rotten literati, be a virtuous and virtuous princess. Nothing is more important than how well you are doing. Gu Yuan half-stood up and looked at her sister-in-law with burning eyes, in the past two years, she has been like the most delicate peony, blooming peerless at the beginning, making people look at her unconsciously. Ashu, you're going to be fine, right? ”

Su Yan nodded solemnly, "I will." ”

Compared with the reluctance and worry of the Su family, the emperor and the crown prince were extremely happy. For the emperor, his most favored and important son was about to marry a wife, which meant that he had reached adulthood.

Just like every stern and kind father's ardent expectation for his beloved son, the emperor gave him a crown salute when he was eighteen years old, and deliberately repeated the name of Yao Shun, one of the five emperors, to his son, hoping that he would become a wise and virtuous prince like Emperor Shun in the future.

Now, before his son got married, this loving father rarely had a heart. When I saw Prince Chonghua several times, I was a little speechless.

Jia Xi, the head of Taiji Palace, was extremely good at studying the emperor's heart, and when the emperor sighed again and was full of thoughts, he quietly said, "The saint is worried about His Highness's wedding night? "The well-informed Father-in-law Jia knows that the prince of the Great Xia Dynasty is still an out-and-out child. The countless flower-like palace maids in the East Palace who were stuffed into by the saints, this highness just turned a blind eye, let alone lucky, and even when the female official who was serving him was waiting, he accidentally touched his body, and he had to be furious.

The groom has no experience, will there be a joke on this night in the cave room? The witty Jia Gonggong asserted that the emperor had been worried about this recently.

The emperor nodded, "I have sent someone to take him to the secret hall to see it, and I have also given him the palace maid to guide him, but why hasn't he moved?" When the emperor said this, he was a little bit gritted. Isn't this instinctive, why didn't his son react at all? The emperor thought that back then, after receiving an education, he slept with a female official when he went back that day, and he was very proactive, how could he come to his son, and he didn't look like him at all?

As a good father who cares about his son, he was once afraid that his most proud son was not wrong in some way, so he specially sent the imperial doctor to check the prince, and several imperial doctors who were deeply trusted by the emperor assured in unison that His Royal Highness the prince was extremely healthy and there was no problem at all.

Damn, there's no problem, why don't you have any sexual interest in a beauty as a flower? Is this normal? Recently, the emperor was so worried about his son's physical problems that he couldn't eat or sleep.

Jia Xi's best skill is to solve the emperor's problems, he rolled his eyes, and whispered: "Sage, according to the old slave's view, the prince is taught by several scholars on weekdays, and he acts too uprightly, and he is pleased with the princess, I am afraid that I didn't expect it for a while." ”

The emperor was reminded by the eunuchs around him, and suddenly remembered that the few people he sent to the East Palace to teach the prince to read were all upright and pedantic, and they had extremely strict requirements for the prince's morality. , my son was taught to be too upright, and it was his father who pitted it.

Jia Xi saw that the emperor's face moved slightly, and he knew that the emperor should have listened to what he said, and then said, "Why don't you take the sage and the concubine to choose a few palace people with good looks and morals and send them to the East Palace." ”

The emperor glared: "It's not like I haven't sent it." "Since the crown prince performed the crown salute, how many beauties he has sent to the East Palace have been counted as two or three hundred.

"Saint, this time the palace people, the slave will send it in person." Jia Xi approached the emperor's side and lowered his voice to say his idea.

The Emperor thinks he has an idea, but can he give it a try? It's true, he married his five sons before, and the prince didn't bother alone. He nodded at Jia Xiwei and said that you can go.

"Be quick." It's not a few days after the wedding, and I have to let my son practice in front of the cave room, so as not to steal his face in front of his daughter-in-law.

"Yes." Jia Xi took the order and left.

Du Guifei listened to Jia Xichuan's dictation of the emperor, and her carefully described eyes widened, and she was completely unbelievable. You must know that since there was something about the crown prince, the emperor has never let Du Guifei take care of it. This time, it was a bonus.

Du Guifei suppressed her joy and said calmly: "Manager Jia, wait a minute, this palace will choose people." She regretted that she had been in too much of a hurry to prepare. However, just choose four people, and choose among the female officials around her.

The concubine went to the side hall and recruited all the female officials and palace maids of her confidants, and made them stand in several rows in front of her, holding the hands of the personal female officials, and looking at them carefully one by one. If you want to open meat for the prince, you must also strive to impress the prince, this appearance is secondary, the body and skin must be good, and the voice must be outstanding enough.

In her own palace, Du Guifei carefully selected four palace maids, and urgently trained them, and handed them over to Jia Xi.

Jia Xi looked at the sky, didn't dare to delay, and led people straight to the East Palace, his goal was to let the prince sleep tonight.

The East Palace has just been renovated, and because the prince is about to get married, the palace is decorated everywhere, and all kinds of beauties in palace costumes are shuttling around the palace under the command of the chief eunuch and female officials.

"Mr. Jia." Li Ping, who was busy and happy, hurriedly smiled when he saw Jia Xi and came over to greet him.

Jia Xi pulled him, said a few words in his ear, and gestured to the four girls behind him, regardless of Li Ping's frozen expression, and said solemnly, "This is the sage's message, it must be done well." ”

Li Ping glanced at the four big girls who were like flowers and jade, shy and timid, and said embarrassedly: "Manager Jia, this, this, how can this little one tell His Highness." According to his understanding of His Royal Highness, he dared to take someone to say that His Highness would be able to make his head bloom, and by the way, even these four palace maids would have to be the same as the palace maids who intended to seduce His Highness before, life is better than death.

Jia Xi poked him heavily with hatred, gritted his teeth and said, "Stupid! But seeing Li Ping's indisobedient appearance, he had to teach him, "When His Highness went to bathe at night, you let the four of them strip naked, and just lie down on the bed of His Highness." The left and right is to let His Highness have an experience, and after sleeping, whether these people are dead or alive is up to His Highness's will. Jia Xi felt that after tonight, there was little hope that these palace maids would survive. But he doesn't care about this, as long as His Highness sleeps with a woman, and reports it to the saint tomorrow, his credit will be in hand. For fear that Li Ping would not dare to do it, he threatened again, "This is the meaning of the sage, you dare to disobey?" ”

Li Ping didn't dare, he gritted his teeth, "Okay, try the small one." "This time it's the meaning of the saint, and before the wedding, His Highness shouldn't have cut him, right? Li Ping thought uncertainly.

Jia Xi motioned for a few palace maids to come over and see Li Ping, and patted him on the shoulder meaningfully, "Brother, it's up to you to do this." ”

Li Ping nodded with a bitter face, "Little try your best." When Jia Xi left, he always raised his hand with a few palace maids and said with a straight face: "Come with our family." ”

The four palace maids haven't recovered from the surprise yet, and since they arrived in the East Palace, they have all been full of peach blossoms. Listening to Li Ping's call, they saluted together, and said delicately: "There is a public care of Lao Gong." ”

Li Ping, hehe, let's talk about it tomorrow if you can come out alive.

The prince returned to the East Palace angrily, sat behind the desk, poured three bowls of tea hatefully, and eased his thirst a little before slamming the table and scolding loudly: "A group of useless things will be against Lonely!" ”

The prince's personal manager, Li An, quietly narrowed his sense of existence, for fear that the prince would see him.

"Get out of here!" The prince flicked his sleeves and went back to the bed in the palace to sulk, and by the way, he had to think about it and fight again tomorrow.

With the prince's drinking order, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, including Li An'an, quickly evacuated. When he got out of the palace gate, Li An wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.

Li Ping came over at this time and asked softly, "Why is Your Highness so angry?" ”

Li An spit carefully, "It's not those ministers in the DPRK and China." He looked carefully left and right, and then continued: "You said, our Highness will get married once in his life, and he will marry Su Xiang's palm beads, and they will be finished with His Highness, and they will have to quarrel with regulations, so that His Highness's anger will grow bigger and bigger day by day." According to Li An, isn't His Royal Highness going to greet his relatives in person, what's not to do, it's been a month of arguing, and seeing that the wedding is about to be held, there is no result, and I don't blame His Royal Highness for being angry.

Li Ping was entangled, His Royal Highness was so angry, he didn't dare to send those women.

Li An found that Li Ping's expression was wrong, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong with you, but what's wrong with the layout in the palace?" In order to make the crown princess's life in the East Palace happy, their Royal Highness's renovation of the East Palace is changed three times a day, and it is easy to finish the renovation, and various arrangements are tossed. Seeing that he is about to get married, in case that place does not suit His Royal Highness's wishes, Li Ping will have to be beaten again.

Li Ping leaned into Li An's ear and whispered the words, Li An was also dumbfounded, and then shook his head, "No, Your Highness will not agree." ”

Li Ping cried with a sad face, "The sage is there......"

Li An's face also fell, and he complained: "Why are you suing me." ”
