Great Liang Palace.

The ministers who had just dispersed from the early dynasty walked outside the court hall in twos and threes, and from time to time they gathered together and whispered, and the topic of discussion was naturally a holy decree announced by Shen Wu'an in the early court just now.

"Do you know about the emperor's appointment of the crown prince in advance?" A minister of the household department asked the two colleagues beside him suspiciously, he is also well-informed in the court, why didn't he hear the news at all?

Walking side by side with him were two officials from the ministry, and when they heard him ask, both of them shook their heads in unison, "No, we, like you, only heard about it for the first time today." ”

guessed that it would be such an answer, and the minister who asked the question was not surprised, but was even more puzzled, "The establishment of the crown prince is a big deal, could it be that the emperor decided so hastily?" ”

"Shhhh As soon as his words fell, an adult next to him covered his mouth, looked left and right to see if anyone noticed them, and then lowered his voice and said, "You don't know our emperor's temperament, since he has already decided, then there is no room for us to question this matter, aren't you afraid of losing this black gauze hat on your head when you say this?" ”

Over the past year or so, Shen Wu'an's personality has changed a lot, if he was still a little timid when he first succeeded to the throne, then after more than a year in power, he is no longer the original him, now Shen Wu'an is a real emperor, no one dares to casually pinch his weakness and force him to do something, because the consequences of doing so are unbearable for them.

Therefore, when it was announced that Shen Li, who was not yet a year old, as the crown prince in the early court, although the ministers below had some opinions in their hearts, none of them dared to raise it in front of him, which is why these ministers only dared to whisper after the dispersal of the court.

Another official of the Ministry of Officials, who had not spoken all this time, couldn't help but speak: "Lord Xu is not wrong at all, since the emperor directly issued a holy decree, he has no intention of letting others make irresponsible remarks about this matter, let's just listen!" ”

"yes!" The official who became "Lord Xu" by him nodded approvingly, and patted the shoulder of Lord Li beside him with his hand, "The emperor only has such a son, and it is the same to stand early and late, so why should we use this kind of sure thing to touch the emperor's scales and make ourselves uncomfortable?" ”

After being persuaded by the two colleagues, Master Li originally had a trace of the thought of writing a book to advise, but even this little bit of thought disappeared at this time, but he shook his head helplessly, and stopped worrying about this matter.

What happened in the early morning quickly spread to the harem, and a few girls didn't have anything special after hearing about it, after all, the matter of establishing the prince had long been expected by them, but they didn't expect Shen Wu'an's actions to be so fast.

"Is the little prince awake?" Liangyuan walked into the dormitory, and while putting down the things in his hand, he asked Jin Yu, who was guarding the bedside.

Jin Yu glanced at the little man sleeping in the center of the big bed, but did not answer her question: "Why are you still called the little prince?" From today onwards, we should change our name to 'His Royal Highness the Prince'! ”

"Yes, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince awake?" Liangyuan changed his mouth and asked again.

"Not yet!" Jin Yu said, stood up and walked to her side, and gently poked her waist with his arm, "Hey, why did you say that the emperor issued an edict to establish the crown prince so early?" ”

Liangyuan glanced at her sideways, and continued to work on the things in his hand, "What is this sooner or later?" Anyway, they all want to establish a prince, so what's the difference between being earlier and later? ”

"You're right!" Hearing her words, Jin Yu nodded thoughtfully, "However, I always feel that there should be a reason for the emperor to do this, but I can't guess what the reason is." ”

She didn't say anything, Liangyuan glanced at her, and replied coldly: "If you can guess everything, then you simply don't stay in the palace to be a girl." ”

Hearing her say this, Jin Yu blinked in confusion, "If you don't want to be a girl, then what am I going to do?" ”

"Go out of the palace to do a fortune teller!" Liangyuan pursed his lips and laughed after speaking.

Jin Yu was stunned for a while, and then she realized that she was making fun of herself, and chased after her relentlessly, and the two of them ran around the table twice, and finally the movement from the big bed made the two people stop at the same time.

Glaring at Liangyuan, Jin Yu trotted to the side of the bed, facing Xiao Shenli's little eyes, she stretched out her hand and touched the little guy's tender face, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you awake?" ”

Hearing an unfamiliar name, Xiao Shen blinked in confusion, although he didn't understand what she meant, but the person in front of him was familiar to him, and he smiled and stretched out his little arm to hug him.

Jin Yu didn't rush to pick him up, but lifted the quilt and looked at the diaper on the pad, and sure enough, he saw a large wet piece on it, and hurriedly beckoned Liangyuan to bring him a new diaper to change, and then picked up the little guy from the bed and began to dress him.

The two girls were busy with their backs to the palace gate, so they didn't notice Shen Wu'an walking in, but Xiao Shen Li, who was lying on Liangyuan's shoulder, saw it with sharp eyes, waved his little hand at him excitedly, pursed his mouth a few times, and suddenly made a voice: "Emperor!" ”

"Huh?" Hearing the voice coming from the little guy's mouth, Jin Yu and Liangyuan's movements stopped, and teased the little guy to speak again, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what did you just say?" Say it again, okay? ”

Since discovering that Xiao Shen Li can speak, several girls have been teaching him to speak with high interest every day, but this little guy has a big temper, and he will only say one or two words when he is in a good mood, and no matter how he teaches at other times, people just ignore it with a small mouth, no matter how he coaxes, it is useless.

So today, when I heard him take the initiative to speak, Jin Yu and Liangyuan were very surprised, and they mustered up all their strength to let the little guy say it again, but the little guy ignored them and just looked behind them.

It wasn't until this time that the two girls noticed that there was an extra person behind them, and they were about to salute but were stopped by Shen Wu'an, "Are you all dressed?" ”

"Hmm." Liangyuan nodded, "It's all already dressed." ”

"Then give him to me." Shen Wu'an said, stretching out his hands to the little guy in her arms.

Xiao Shenli wanted him to hug him from just now, and finally arrived in his arms at this moment, happily patted his face with his little hand, and then popped out of his mouth with a word: "Emperor!" ”

This voice was much clearer than just now, and it also made the three people present couldn't help but be stunned, and after a long while, Jin Yu asked uncertainly, "Was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calling the emperor just now?" ”

"Seems to be." Liangyuan feels the same way.

Compared with them, Shen Wu'an's mood was even more excited, after all, this was the first time the little guy had called him, and they had taught them several times before, but they had not received any obvious results.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Shen Wu'an held his son's little hand and asked softly: "Call Father." ”

"The Emperor...... Huang ...... "This time, Xiao Shen Li was very face-saving, and called him twice in a row, but each time there was only one word at the back."

Despite this, it had already melted Shen Wu'an's heart into water, and he gently touched his son's little face with his hand, and the look in his dark eyes gradually settled, and he didn't know what he thought.

"Your Majesty, it's time for breakfast." Just when he was in a daze, Jin Yu and Liangyuan had already gone out to bring breakfast and came in, put the breakfast on the table next to him, and Liangyuan stepped forward and said, "Give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the slave." ”

"No need." Shen Wu'an shook his head gently, "I'm here to feed him, you all go down first." ”

"Yes!" Jin Yu and Liangyuan agreed, and put the food specially prepared for Xiao Shen Li in the imperial dining room in front of him one by one, and then turned around and withdrew from the dormitory.

It was not the first time that Shen Wu'an had personally fed his son, and he was very handy at it, feeding the little guy in the order of "soup first and then rice", until the little guy pushed his hand and refused to eat any more, he put down the spoon in his hand and started to eat by himself.

At this time, Xiao Shunzi walked in from outside the dormitory, and when he saw a familiar person, Xiao Shen waved at him with a heartfelt attitude, and said something in his mouth, but unfortunately no one could understand it except himself.

Xiao Shunzi first smiled at the little guy, and then said his intention to Shen Wu'an: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhai of the Ministry of Rites asks to see you." ”

Shen Wu'an frowned slightly when he heard this, "Let him wait outside!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Shunzi agreed, turned around and walked out.

Seeing that he ignored himself, Xiao Shen Li was so anxious that he babbled, and his two little legs were not honestly kicking on his father's legs, Shen Wu'an put down the chopsticks in his hand and patted him lightly on the buttocks, "Be honest!" ”

Now the little guy is honest, obediently sitting on his lap and no longer moving, just a small mouth pouting, indicating that the little guy is angry at this moment.

Shen Wu'an saw his small appearance out of the corner of his eyes, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he lowered his head and continued to eat.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Wu'an walked out of the dormitory with the little guy who was still angry, and saw Zhai Qinglian, who had been waiting in the outer hall for a while, greeted him, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"What's the matter with you?" Shen Wu'an sat down on the chair with his son in his arms and asked lightly.

Knowing that he didn't like others to disturb him when he was with his son, Zhai Qinglian hurriedly said his intention: "That's the case, yesterday the envoy of the Bailiao Kingdom came, saying that he was ordered by their queen mother to send a birthday gift to His Royal Highness the Prince, hoping to hand it over to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Shen Wu'an frowned slightly when he heard this, if it was said that the lord of the Bailiao Kingdom knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daliang was on his birthday, and in order to consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he specially ordered someone to come to give gifts to celebrate, which would be reasonable, but why was it in the name of the queen's mother?

Although his heart was full of doubts, he did not express himself, but only asked, "What about people?" ”

"Weichen has already brought it, and he is waiting outside the palace at this time!" Zhai Qinglian said, carefully looking at his face, "Does the emperor want to announce their audience immediately, or wait until tomorrow morning?" ”

Shen Wu'an held his son's little hand and played with it, and after a while he spoke: "Since you have already brought all the people, let them in." ”
