Chapter 158: The Prince
Since there is a third elder brother as a son-in-law, why does the emperor say this again?
Hua Ying was afraid that this was the emperor testing herself again, so she said calmly: "The emperor is in the prime of life, and there must be many excellent princes in the future, will it be too early to think like this now?" ”
The emperor's original intention was not to test Hua Ying, but he just said his true thoughts, and realized that Hua Ying might have misunderstood himself, and he smiled with a little doting: "Ying'er, don't think too much, it's just that I mentioned the matter of the heir, so I just said it casually." ”
Regarding the third elder brother, the emperor will naturally be carefully cultivated as the future heir, but the third elder brother is weak in physique, and how to grow up is still two words, but as Hua Ying said, he is not old now, and he is not very worried, so he really can't find a suitable child to raise under the queen's name.
"Don't always scare the concubines, the concubines are too bold." Hua Ying knew that she was too sensitive, and patted the emperor on the chest.
"Cowardly? I don't see it. The emperor was enjoying the current fun, but Yinze was concentrating on playing with the group, and didn't pay attention to this: "Come on, take the fifth elder brother down." ”
"Your Majesty?"
"It's getting late, the fifth elder brother is here, and he will disturb the two of us in the cave room to spend the candle night." The emperor and Hua Ying bit their ears and said, Hui Xin was a little embarrassed to see it, and hurriedly hugged the fifth elder brother out, and then closed the door tightly.
"What kind of cave room spends candle night, the emperor's cave room spends candle night, I'm afraid it was many years ago, don't coax the concubines here." More than ten years ago, when the emperor got married, Hua Ying was about to be born, and she also fantasized about the candles in the cave room in her heart: "When the concubine was a child, she always thought that the candle night in the cave room must be very romantic, but the concubine did not have that blessing." "In the end, it's also a concubine's room, and you can't even use Zhenghong, what kind of big wedding are you talking about?
"Only with the person you like can be regarded as a candle in the cave room." The emperor took Hua Ying's words to heart, and dropped a fluttering kiss on Hua Ying's forehead, which was regarded as a promise.
After a lingering experience that is enough to make the two of them reminisce for a long time, Hua Ying pillowed on the emperor's arm, which seems to be an ordinary action, but in fact it is an exception for the emperor, sleeping with the emperor in the palace is also exquisite and has a lot of rules, first of all, the concubine must ensure that she will not disturb the emperor after falling asleep, and secondly, she can't make out-of-the-ordinary movements when she falls asleep. But this is already a compromise method obtained by the emperor trying his best to suppress the urge to hold Hua Ying into his arms.
There was a sudden sound of talking outside the door, as well as the sound of knocking on the door gently, it turned out to be Xiao Pingzi's vigil: "The slave disturbs the emperor and deserves death, the nobles of Qixiang Palace have just had a seizure, and the emperor wants to go and see." ”
The emperor and Hua Ying tossed for a long time, and now they were tired and about to fall asleep, when they suddenly heard the news, they rubbed their sleepy eyes with their other hand: "...... What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”
"The noble man has just had a seizure, and the imperial doctor is on the way to Qixiang Palace, and the amniotic fluid is also broken in his sleep, and the slave doesn't know the current condition of the noble man."
Hua Ying also woke up leisurely: "Your Majesty, otherwise, let's go and take a look, the noble people were in good health before, but it is not easy for women to have children, they are all in the ghost gate." ”
Hua Ying said this, the emperor was also a little moved, after all, it is a child conceived for himself, there are not many heirs over the years, when everyone gives birth, the emperor goes to accompany him, if the emperor does not go to see here, it will inevitably make people misunderstand, thinking like this, the emperor sat up and said: "Then I will go and see, if you are sleepy, go to sleep first." ”
"What the emperor said, we all know that the emperor is staying in Jingyang Palace tonight, and the emperor is up, do the concubines still have to be alone, isn't this letting the palace poke the backbone of the concubines?" Hua Ying first put on clothes for the emperor, and then let his subordinates in, casually wearing a flag outfit, and did not wear jewelry.
"It's just that Ying'er was tired just now, so I was concerned, how do you know that you are like a powder keg." The emperor stretched out his hands and asked his subordinates to dress, Hua Ying's technique was the slowest among the concubines, so it was better to call her subordinates to dress herself.
Seeing that you were tired just now, this sentence made people have to think about it, and the subordinates who specialized in serving the emperor saw that the love between the two of them was still intensifying, and secretly sighed that Concubine Yun was very capable, and the previous rumors were afraid that they would be self-defeating.
Since the emperor has arrived at Qixiang Palace, then the other concubines have no reason not to come, but there is really one person who did not come, that is Yu Guiren, she really can't get up, saying that she is not going, and she is not having a good relationship with herself to have children, the palace maids know that she has the gas to get up, and they dare not call anymore, so they can only rely on Yu Guiren.
"Didn't you say that the emperor was tired of Concubine Yun? Why did two people come together. Du Changzai looked at the emperor and Hua Ying walking in together, and asked in a sweet voice.
When the Hunan nobles heard it, they glanced at Du Changzai lightly: "What do others say that Du Changzai believes?" If Concubine Yun was so easily disliked, this little master would not have ended up in a constant fate at that time. "It's just that at the full moon banquet, I slipped my hand and accidentally fell the fifth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother was also checked that there was no big problem, and she was directly demoted, it can be seen that the emperor was already very fond of Concubine Yun at that time, two or three years have passed, there is only an intensifying trend, Du Chang has not entered the palace at that time, so naturally he will not understand.
Obviously, Hua Ying and the emperor's love is what these people don't want to see, so as soon as they came in, they grabbed everyone's attention, the emperor didn't care what others thought, it was too exaggerated to spread rumors, when did he ever do anything to Ying'er?
The emperor sat next to the main throne, that is, the queen, and Hua Ying sat at the concubine and the nobles: "Why don't you see the nobles Yu?" ”
"I guess I can't get up again." Concubine Jing could see that she had seen the temper of Yu Guiren, and she couldn't wait to overturn the roof of her palace.
"The emperor and queen shouldn't have time to pay attention to whether she comes or not, so go with her." When Hua Ying heard this reason, she also secretly admired Yu Guiren for doing what she wanted, if she had half of Yu Guiren's own way, she would not have gotten up in the middle of the night to go to Qixiang Palace to watch others give birth.
"The emperor and the queen, although the noble man is small, the child is strong, so there are some difficulties in childbirth, but the problem is not big, the emperor and the queen can wait with peace of mind." A physician said.
"Okay, make sure that the noble man gives birth to the imperial heir smoothly." The emperor was also at ease, waited quietly, and then glanced at Concubine Xiu, only to see that Concubine Xiu was also sitting upright below, and she had a decision in her heart.
It is true that the time for the child to be born is longer, the child is strong when he is in the belly, and the noble man is a petite skeleton, so it will inevitably be a little difficult, but fortunately, the noble man is angry, gritting his silver teeth and giving birth to the child, all he thinks in his heart is that he must be a son, have a good adoptive mother, and may be able to make a big difference in the future.
"The emperor and queen, the noble man gave birth to a little prince smoothly, with seven catties, and he is very healthy." The midwife smiled and took out a swaddling baby, the time of the birth of the noble person is good, it is not yet summer, it is lukewarm, the confinement is more comfortable, and the child is healthy, which is much better than the third and fourth brothers.
"Okay, the noble man has a meritorious child, and he will be rewarded with gold and white taels, and the rest of the jewelry and cloth will be taken care of by the Tai Hospital and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Then the order went down, and the people in the palace of the nobles served their masters wholeheartedly, and each was rewarded with half a year's money. "At least the noble people will not be concubines because they gave birth to a child this time, and everyone in the palace knows it, but despite this, it can still be seen that the emperor is happy that a healthy prince was born in the palace, although there is only a reward in gold and silver, but the matter of giving a generous hand and rewarding the next person was only mentioned by the emperor when Hua Ying gave birth to the fifth elder brother.
"Your Majesty, since the noble man is not promoted to a concubine, then he is not the head of the first palace, so which concubine will raise these six elder brothers?" The queen almost couldn't wait to ask, among the harem concubines, there is no one she can use for the first palace master, no matter who the sixth elder brother gives to, it will be unfavorable for her.
"Since the queen asked, then I will also talk about my inner thoughts, I think that Concubine Xiu can take on this important responsibility, Concubine Xiu raised the second princess, and the second princess who was raised is very knowledgeable, smart and clever, I asked the second princess to teach the fourth elder brother before, and the concubine also took the initiative to help, I saw it in my eyes, remembered it in my heart, and decided to hand over the sixth elder brother to be raised by Concubine Xiu, do you have any objections?"
Concubine Xiu accepted everyone's eyes frankly, and when the emperor proposed that it was okay to let the second princess get along with her younger brothers and sisters more, she vaguely guessed what the emperor wanted to do: "If the sixth elder brother is really raised by the concubine, the concubine must regard the sixth elder brother as her own child, work hard to raise him well, and live up to the common expectations of the emperor and the queen." ”
The queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Fucha clan and the emperor still kept in mind that they would hand over the children of the noble people to the emperor Xiufei, but the only thing that the queen did not calculate was that the concubine of the year became one of the four concubines by chance, and such a family status is really not easy: "Concubine Xiu has been in the palace for many years, and she is also a good candidate, and the emperor is wise." "I knew this earlier, it was better to give it to Ji Concubine, and the rank was lower, but at that time, Ji Concubine was still under the Fucha clan, no matter how clever Yao Er was, she couldn't persuade the Fucha clan to give Ji Concubine a child.
"Since there is no objection, then this matter will be decided for the time being, but I feel that it is not easy for you to have a child, and I decided to wait for the child to be full moon, and then hand it over to Concubine Xiu to raise." This is also on the way here, because Hua Ying said that it is not easy to be a mother, the emperor decided temporarily, and the emperor vaguely remembered the miserable death of the noble man, or don't force the biological mother too hard.
