August 17 was an ordinary day.

The fireworks in the north of the city are still shining, and the people enjoy the last night of revelry. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is no longer the grand occasion, many people and scholars participate in this lantern festival and enjoy the endless fireworks.

It's just that even the best things will pass, and with the last string of fireworks blooming in the night sky and dissipating, the three-day event has finally come to an end.

The people dispersed from the streets of the drum tower, and some people were already looking forward to the next big light show. The shopkeeper looked exhausted, but he smiled happily when he thought about the silver taels in the money bag.

When the curtain came down here, a major event occurred in the Ming Dynasty.

Wangfu Street, Yuwangfu.

The area of Yuwang's Mansion is not small, and the entrance looks very magnificent. It's just that after nightfall, there are few lights in this mansion, highlighting the shabby and depressed nature of this mansion.

King Yu's face is honest, and his eyes appear a little less bright, giving people a sense of woodenness. At this time, he was wearing a coat and drinking tea, looking very anxious, and frequently looked in a certain direction.

Wow......

In one room, a baby's cry shattered the silence.

When a eunuch heard the child's cry, he was afraid that King Yu would not hear it, so he immediately shouted excitedly: "It's born! Raw! ”

King Yu hurriedly put down the teacup and strode towards the courtyard in front of him. In fact, he is no longer a first-time father, but the previous two children died, and he is also extremely nervous at this moment.

When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw a palace maid with a copper basin hurrying over, and immediately asked eagerly: "Is it a male or female baby?" ”

Although the baby's cry is very loud, it is impossible to determine whether it is a male or female baby from this cry alone.

The left Changshi of Yuwang Mansion, who was following King Yu, couldn't help but secretly discuss, he didn't even care about Concubine Li's situation, and asked bluntly whether it was a male baby or a female baby, and asked so loudly, how would Concubine Li feel when she heard it?

Yes?

The palace maid holding the copper basin didn't know the situation inside, but she was stunned on the spot.

Fortunately, at this time, the mother-in-law in charge of delivering the baby came out of it with the baby in her arms, and said happily: "Respectfully to the prince, Concubine Li gave birth to a son!" ”

Call......

When King Yu heard the news, his hanging heart finally relaxed, and the whole person secretly rejoiced.

Yuwang's mother, Concubine Du Kang, was not favored, so he did not get the love of his father since he was a child. With the death of his last crown prince, he, as the living eldest son, should be the prince of this dynasty.

It's just that he doesn't like his father, but he can't be canonized for a long time, so King Jing, who has the support of his mother's concubine, has always coveted the position of prince.

Even if King Jing has been taken over by the revolution, his family is still in the capital, and King Jing is even more likely to find different excuses to return to the capital, and even do everything possible to stay in the capital.

And now, he finally has an heir, which adds another bargaining chip to his competition with his younger brother.

"Lord, look, how much does the prince look like you?" The midwife looked at Yuwang Mu and pestle there, and accompanied the smiling face to take the baby's face and said to him.

King Yu's eyes fell on the baby, but he still didn't mean to hug it, and nodded as if perfunctory: "Okay!" Good! ”

"Concubine Li wants to see the child!" A palace maid came out of it and whispered.

The midwife saw that King Yu was indifferent, so she retired with a smiling face, turned around and hugged the baby into it again.

King Yu was about to turn around and leave here as if he had a matter on his mind, but the eunuch next to him carefully reminded him that he knew that he was going inside to visit the concubine Li who had just finished giving birth.

Concubine Li was originally from the lowest-class palace maid, but it was only because she was pregnant with a fetus that she got the title of side concubine from the low-level palace maid. Now that she has given birth to a son, it can be said that a mother is more expensive than a child.

Looking at her child, Concubine Li, who was less than twenty, revealed the brilliance of motherhood in her eyes. Just saw King Yu coming in from outside, she was about to get up from the bed, but was stopped by the midwife next to her.

King Yu also hurriedly stopped it, and said sincerely: "Concubine Li, it's hard work!" ”

Concubine Li listened to this, and her eyes were wet.

In essence, she has been paying attention to the movement outside, and she understands that Yuwang has no love for her. It's just that now that she has given birth to a son, the fates of the two are more closely linked.

The most important thing is that she now has the flesh and blood of King Yu, and the position of this side concubine can be regarded as imprisonment.

On this ordinary day, Yuwang's third son was born. It's just surprising that not only did Yuwangfu not make much fanfare, but not many people even knew about the birth of Yuwangfu's son.

The next day, early in the morning.

When such a big thing happened in Yuwang's mansion, Yuwang thought of his teacher, but Chen Yiqin went home to worry, and Yin Shidan was not happy with him, so he immediately thought of Gao Gong, the teacher who had taught him for nine years.

Gao Gong is now the secretary of Taichang Temple and is also in charge of the wine affairs of the country, and he originally intended to avoid it, but when he learned that Concubine Li gave birth to a son, he also left the affairs in his hand and hurried over.

When King Yu saw Gao Gong, the whole person seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and immediately asked for help: "Teacher Gao, do you want to tell the emperor about this immediately?" ”

Yuwang is twenty-five this year, and Gao Gong is fifty years old, and the two have a nine-year teacher-student friendship.

Gao Gong listened to this, his face immediately showed sadness, and he slowly shook his head and said, "Your Highness, haven't you forgotten the emperor's edict?" ”

"Which one?" Yuwang seemed to have really forgotten, and asked suspiciously.

Gao Gong knew that this disciple's intelligence was inferior, so he reminded in a low voice: "Fan Yudi is festive, everything must not be heard!" ”

"That's right! Right! Don't hear it! When King Yu heard this, he nodded hurriedly.

Gao Gong looked at the nervous King Yu, stroked his black and thick beard and comforted: "Your Highness, you don't need to be too nervous, now that you have an heir, although you can't get the name of the prince at the moment, you are already ahead of King Jing!" ”

In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, Guo Xiyan, counselor of the Ministry of Rites, wrote to ask for the establishment of a reserve. This is a matter of duty, but Jiajing is worthy of being a stubborn king, and immediately ordered the execution of Counselor Guo Xiyan.

At this point, no one dares to easily ask for a reserve, even if Gao Gong is now afraid to say that he wants to make a reservation. In essence, as long as it is not an official who is suspicious of life, no one dares to be this up-and-coming bird.

"Sit! So much better! King Yu asked Gao Gong to sit down, and then he put his mind at ease.

While he was talking, a guard came to pass, and the Yin couple of Shuntian Mansion came to visit.

King Yu knew that the side concubine Li had a close relationship with Mrs. Lin of Shuntian Mansion Yin, but he didn't expect Lin Haoran to come to the door suddenly, but he asked Gao Gong without any claim: "Teacher Gao, is this king seen or not?" ”
