Chapter 55: The Joke of the Concubine
More than two months ago, Zheng Guifei gave birth to the Nine Emperor Sons, and after hearing about it, the government and the opposition said that they were surprised that Zheng Guifei could give birth to a dragon child in her forties, but there was no wave.
Fang Congzhe gave the emperor a congratulatory seal in the name of the minister, in addition, this event that made the emperor happy jumped and jumped in Yikun Palace, thinking that he could live for a few more decades when he was old and strong, so quietly.
At least, outside the palace, officials don't talk much about it.
The dispute over the state has made the government and the opposition uninterested in the fact that the emperor has a son.
The title of the crown prince has been decided, and King Fu has also been inducted, no matter how good the life of the newly born Nine Emperor Prince Zhu Changyu is, he will only be in a certain place as a prince in the future like his brother King Fu.
What else could he do?
In terms of longevity, it is not the turn of this little prince.
Moreover, I can't help whether the Nine Emperor Princes will die young, so I will be worried that Concubine Zheng will take advantage of the flesh that just fell from her stomach to make trouble, so it is better to drink tea and watch the play.
The court's reaction was flat, but the people of the capital were very happy about this matter.
For a period of time, the old clam of the concubine Niangniang became a joke among the people after tea and dinner, and they all said that the concubine Niangniang was a milkman and gave birth to children, isn't it a shame for her children and grandchildren.
Zhu Changxun, the Fuwang who was far away in Luoyang, was really depressed for a few days, and he always felt that the officials of his Fuwang Mansion didn't look at him right.
The old lady gave birth to a baby and has a younger brother at home, so it stands to reason that Zhu Changxun, the son and elder brother, should also send some supplements to the old lady and some gifts to his younger brother.
But Zhu Changxun just felt ashamed, so he refused to send things to Beijing. In the end, it was the princess who persuaded her again and again, so she asked someone to prepare a gift and send it to Beijing.
After learning that the concubine gave birth, the young master Zhu Changluo immediately asked Xi Li to prepare congratulatory gifts and supplements to go to Yikun Palace, and personally wrote a congratulatory chapter and handed it over, congratulating his father on being old and strong, and adding a new Ding to the Ming royal family.
The prince is so knowledgeable, Wanli is overjoyed.
Although Zheng Guifei always felt that Zhu Changluo's kid was a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, she didn't have a good heart, but after all, people came to congratulate her as soon as possible, and her own son ignored it after he knew that the old lady was pregnant.
How to say it, the boss can't count on it, so I'll count on this second child in the future.
The concubine really likes this second son, neither the nurse who has been prepared in the palace before, nor the guest mother sent by the East Palace, but feeds her personally for the first time, and she doesn't even let her husband want to eat it.
Every day, I hold the little guy and coax and tease, not to mention how happy I am.
The folk also made an anti-thief joke because of the fact that the concubine gave birth to a child.
There is a tinker in Dongcheng who has been married to his wife for more than 30 years and has no children, he was already discouraged and desperate, and after listening to the old clam of the noble concubine, he suddenly had hope, thinking that his old wife could also have a miracle, so he pulled his old wife to do that every day.
The old wife couldn't stand it, so she scolded the pot tinker for her delusional thoughts, saying that the concubine Niangniang gave birth to a dragon seed, which was sown by the emperor Lao Tzu, how can you compare with the emperor as a pot mending pot.
"Spicy your mother, which day did you say, his emperor can be spicy to outsiders, but I can't be spicy to outsiders?" The tinker's hometown is from Huai'an Mansion, and he speaks his hometown when he gets up in a hurry.
"Well, you're spicy, I hope you can be spicy, I hope you just want to eat fart!" The old wife really couldn't stand it by the tinker.
"You must be raised, I have enough to tell you, I am the emperor, and I want a spicy dragon breed! You don't come from me to give birth to a dragon egg, I can't kill you! ”
"Obediently, you can go to heaven, you want to be a face, and you are the emperor, even if you are the emperor, I am not a concubine!"
The old wife was not to be outdone, "If you have the ability, you will get the holy decree to canonize me as a concubine, if you can get it, I will make you spicy, every day!" ”
"Oh hey, I'm going to have to be faced... As far as you are dead, you still need a holy decree, I told you, as long as you make me spicy and can make a fool of yourself, you will be an inverted concubine..."
The husband and wife scolded each other one by one, but they didn't want to let the neighbors who were doing good things next to them hear.
This neighbor has been with them for more than ten years, and he can understand Jianghuai dialect to some extent, so he tells this thing as a joke.
As a result, I didn't know how to call the people of Shuntianfu to listen.
As soon as he heard that someone in the jurisdiction claimed that the emperor wanted to sow dragon seeds, the Shuntian prefect attached great importance to it, and immediately ordered the messenger to arrest the people.
Fortunately, the prefect of Shuntian is not a dog official, and when he asked for the reason, he knew that he was ignorant and the villager was in a hurry to speak, so he let the person go with a smile.
It is said that this matter really reached Wanli's ears, and Wanli laughed at it, so he wouldn't bother with a tinker.
Ma Shoubei has also heard this joke, but the painting style of the envoy and Wei Biao in front of him is not right, it is very wrong.
The concubine is in politics, and the concubine is in politics!
The more the envoy and Wei Gelding chatted happily, the more panicked Ma Shou became, and before he could figure out what was going on, the books he read and the world he had seen would be counted as a dog's belly.
The emperor wanted to cure Wei Eunuch, but Zheng Guifei, who had just given birth to the Nine Emperor Princes, prevented this matter.
Although he didn't know why Zheng Guifei wanted to protect Wei Eunuch, Ma Shoubei knew that he was a little bad now.
Sure enough, Wei Biao, who was happily communicating with the envoy, suddenly thought of something, then turned around and pointed at the horse guard, and asked curiously, "What did you mean by hehehe?" ”
"This..."
Ma Shoubei's face was red and green, and it was half loud, and Fang squeezed out an embarrassed smile: "The father-in-law and the saint are long, and the lower officials are sincerely happy, and this is a temporary gaffe." ”
"Oh,"
Gonggong Wei nodded, "Don't do this in the future, let the imperial history know that you have lost your honor in front of the envoy, and if you don't get it right, you will have to go home and sell sweet potatoes." ”
"Yes, yes,"
Ma Shoubei nodded again and again: What is a sweet potato, is it very valuable?
"Father-in-law Wei, Niangniang's dictation is clear, you see?"
Jia Daquan is concerned about whether Gonggong Wei will obey the instructions of the noble concubine, so that he will be able to explain after he goes back.
"Well..."
Gonggong Wei folded the emperor's edict and put it in his arms, which is the true handiwork of Wanli, and he has to keep it for the future to pass on to his children and grandchildren.
Gonggong Wei waved his hand and motioned for a group of relieved subordinates to go out.
When He Shiyi arrived outside the tent, he really breathed a sigh of relief: The concubine is really a good person! .... As long as Gonggong Wei stops now, this matter will be over, so if Jiannu doesn't fight, he won't fight, what does it matter.
Ma Shoubei and Zhou Fenshou were listless, and the two looked at each other, but they had nothing to say.
"The emperor's decree, our family doesn't dare to disobey it, it's just that Father-in-law Jia doesn't know anything, and our family is nervous now."
In the account, Father-in-law Wei looked embarrassed.
"Father-in-law, what do you mean?" Jia Daquan was also confused.
"You don't know, Jiannu owes our family a lot of money..."
Father-in-law Wei told Jia Daquan a story about Lao Lai.
