Chapter 46: Hui Luan
Time flies like flowing water, and the first child of the King of Thailand was born smoothly in August, a lovely daughter who looks very much like Yang Yiqing. Duan Yingbi is happy to have a daughter, regards it as a treasure, and even the name directly shows full of cherished feelings - Duan Yingbi, regarding you as the pearl in the palm of her hand, which is not only Duan Yingbi's care for her daughter but also her love for his wife. And Duan Yulin, who was far away in the suburbs of Beijing, was also very happy to learn that he had added another royal granddaughter, and immediately gave Duan Mingzhu the title of the lord of Lingge. Less than a month passed, and on the last hour of September 19, Luo Zixiao gave birth to Duan Yulin's eighth son in the partial hall of Yunxia Palace. Duan Yulin couldn't wait to go back to the palace to see this newborn son on the day he received the news, so he immediately decided to return to Luan in advance, and on September 30, Luan drove back to the palace in a majestic manner.
The first thing the emperor did when he returned to the palace was to visit the Eighth Prince and Luo Zixiao after giving birth. Only more than ten days after Luo Zixiao gave birth, Duan Yulin sympathized with her weakness and exempted her from kneeling, and only told her to lie on the bed and recuperate. The nurse brought the eighth prince to show the emperor, Duan Yulin took the child and couldn't put it down, and talked to Luo Zixiao while coaxing his son: "The eighth prince's eyebrows and eyes look like Ke Concubine, but his nose and mouth look like me, and he will definitely be a beautiful man when he grows up." Duan Yulin laughed and couldn't help but kiss the child's red face.
"Don't praise him, the emperor is used to hearing compliments at such a young age, and when he grows up, someone will lose his temper if he doesn't like him, how can it be good?" Luo Zixiao looked at the emperor who loved his son and smiled happily.
"Afraid of what? He is my son, who dares to disobey our little eight. Well? Isn't it, little one? Duan Yulin walked back and forth with the child in his arms twice and then handed him back to the nurse, because this little guy was going to sleep, and he was a little impatient with the father who suddenly appeared. Duan Yulin sat on the side of Luo Zixiao's bed, took her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, and thank you for giving birth to such a healthy and lovely son." ”
"The concubine didn't dare. It is the blessing of a concubine to be able to extend the heirs for Dahan, how can it be said that it is hard? Duan Yulin likes Luo Zixiao's stability and sensibility very much.
"You have to give the child a good name, Rong Zhen think about it......" Duan Yulin thought of the Seventh Prince who died in his mother's womb and Duan Wen, who was not treated by his mother since he was born, and even thought of Huan Yue, who died of rumors, and the child who was lost by Wen Feng last year. There are so many unlucky things happening in the palace, you need to rush with happy events, it is a happy event for Concubine Ke to give birth to a child, Duan Yulin also wants to give the child an auspicious name, he thought for a while and then decided: "The child's name is Yingzhe." The meaning of "Zhe" is that there are wise people, and the writing is also auspicious, and the double "auspicious" is a pair, but it is not an excellent name? What do you think is good? "Duan Yulin's chosen name, how dare Luo Zixiao have any objections, besides, 'Yingzhe' is indeed a good name, Luo Zixiao thanked him gently: "The concubine gave the name to the eighth prince Xie Huangdi!" ”
In this way, the name of the eighth prince was decided, and while giving Duan Yingzhe a name, he forgot to give Duan Wen a title, let alone a princess who did not have an official title, let alone be able to save the heart of her biological mother Han Qianyu. And Duan Yulin obviously felt that only the happy event of the birth of the eighth prince was not enough, and took advantage of Xianyuanhong's victorious return this time, Duan Yulin pondered about giving him a decent marriage. The emperor did not mention the marriage to anyone in the harem, but only discussed it with a few close ministers, and the result of the discussion was to choose Zhu Yanfeng, the daughter of Zhu Chengwen, to marry the lord of Tingjun and Xianyuanhong as his wife. As soon as the will of the marriage was given, the Immortal General's Mansion was prepared with great fanfare.
The immortal family and the Zhu family have long had the intention of marrying, so the immortal family has prepared the dowry and wedding supplies early, even if the emperor does not give marriage, Xian Moyan will only wait for his son to come to Beijing to discuss marriage. The marriage given by the emperor at the beginning of this month, even if the wedding is arranged at the end of the month, will not be rushed. Xian Moyan is more concerned about this marriage than the groom himself, the reason why he arranged the marriage so tightly is that he hopes that his son will start a family as soon as possible, and he will hold his grandson as soon as possible.
Luo Zixiao has been in a good mood recently. And the emperor also allowed her to live in the main hall of Yunxia Palace. The main hall of the first palace is where the lord lives, and Luo Zixiao is not enough to occupy the throne but is in the main position, and it seems that it is a matter of time before he is promoted. Jiang Lianhuan and Wen Hao, who are good friends with Luo Zixiao, can always be infected by this joy every time they come to Yunxia Hall to visit her and the child, and even Wen Feng, who has always been depressed, can't help but smile sincerely when she sees Xiao Yingzhe, who loves to laugh. Jiang Lianhuan saw that Wen Feng liked Zixiao's child very much, so she often asked Wen Feng to visit the mother and son in Yunxia Palace, and she also hoped that Wen Feng could gradually get out of the shadow of miscarriage and become as cheerful as ever.
The three sisters of Yunxia Palace were happy, but the atmosphere of Chenqi Palace was not so harmonious. Xu Ying leaned on the couch and looked at Duan Yingping who was feeding the fish in the yard through the window and sighed, and the maid Mu Mei offered the master a glass of grape juice and asked, "Why is Niangniang sighing?" ”
"I thought that in addition to Huanyue, the demon Yingping's eye disease would improve greatly, but now it seems that Wu Yin is just a charlatan." When Xu Ying thought of how her child had become blind, she hated to dig up Zheng Wei'e's body from the grave, and crush her bones and scatter ashes! If it hadn't been for Cheng Wei'e poisoning her food during her pregnancy, she would not have been blinded by Yingping's life. Zheng Wei'e, a poisonous woman, doesn't know how many lives she has killed in order to compete for favor, and every time she harms someone, she tries her best to blame other concubines, and she wants to blame Feng Wu for poisoning her, but unfortunately Feng Wu is smarter than the poisonous woman and has a much higher family background, so Zheng Wei'e steals chickens and rice. However, she Xu Ying has become the ultimate victim in this struggle, so how can she not hate? And Feng Wu, she can't forgive either! Although Feng Wu never directly harmed her, Feng Wu knew about Zheng Wei'e's poisoning, but she stood by and watched, watching her being killed by a poisonous woman! These people deserve to die! She won't let any of them go!
"Niangniang is relieved, the eye disease of the six princes has been much better than in winter, although he can't see yet, but he can already feel the light, I believe that it won't be long before the six princes' illnesses will be cured." Mu Mei used the plum blossom embroidered yarn fan in her hand to fan Xu Ying cold. This year, somehow, it's October, but it's still hot and humid at noon in Kyoto.
"Mu Mei, you don't need to comfort this palace, I know Yingping's illness in this palace, no matter what, this palace will not give up. Bengong is just worried......" Xu Ying wanted to speak and stopped, she was worried about the child in Yunxia Hall at this time, a healthy and lovely little prince, and her mother's family background was not low......
Xu Ying, a woman, is really ambitious. The prince's mother family is in decline, and the emperor is in the prime of life, so it is completely too late to wait until the little princes grow up, and when Yingping was just born, Xu Ying didn't think about letting her children fight in the future. It's a pity that the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, Yingping was found to have a serious eye disease when he was full moon, and it is likely that he will be unable to see for life, all because Xu Ying was poisoned during pregnancy, and this news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the ambitious Xu Ying. At first, Xu Ying was not discouraged, she desperately sought medical advice for Yingping, and seized every opportunity to get pregnant again, but unfortunately she never got pregnant after that. She also knows that a blind person can't be an emperor, so as long as there is a chance to cure Yingping, she will not let go, but she has had little success over the years, and she has also thought about giving up, but as long as she thinks that Feng Wu will become the queen mother in the future, she will force herself to persevere, even if Yingping is not destined to be the emperor, she will at least bring down Feng Wu.
"Niang Niang is worried that Concubine Ke's children will compete for the crown prince in the future?" Mu Mei interrupted Xu Ying's contemplation.
"Not necessarily. But what Hongu is more worried about is that Feng Wu will hit this child's attention. "Xu Ying takes care of Yingping, who is already incompetent, and the emperor will not agree to her to adopt other people's children again. But Feng Wu is different, she has no children under her knees, if the child's mother is gone, it is not impossible for her to raise the child herself.
"But...... The slave maid felt that even if Concubine Ke had any accidents, it was unlikely that the emperor would pass the child to the Feng woman, and now the only concubine who was qualified and most suitable for adopting a child was Concubine Xiang. Mu Mei boldly said her thoughts, and what Xu Ying wanted to say was not unreasonable.
That being said, it should not be taken lightly. Shen Xiaoxiang is insidious and cunning, it is better to stay by Luo Zixiao's side if the child is handed over to her to raise, at least Luo Zixiao doesn't seem to have any ambitions. Xu Ying was sure that Shen Xiaoxiang was also playing with Yingzhe's idea now, but she didn't dare to show it.
"That'...... Do we still want to rectify the concubines? Mu Mei couldn't figure out her master's mind for a while.
"Not yet." Just now, there is no Fang Yushan and the Seventh Prince, and it is not a wise choice to move Luo Zixiao now.
Shen Xiaoxiang really had the same idea as Xu Ying, Fang Huanshan's child was gone, and there was another eighth prince, which was originally a godsend. But firstly, she couldn't get along with Luo Zixiao, and secondly, Fang Huanshan had just died, and it was not appropriate to make any big moves, so she had to give up temporarily.
Shen Xiaoxiang and Xu Ying's silence gave Luo Zixiao a chance to escape from the terrible conspiracy, and Luo Zixiao, Jiang Lianhuan and Wen Feng hugged each other and supported each other; They also pulled Li Shutian into this small group, so Li Jingtian also invisibly became a backing to secretly support them, and when someone thought about it again, they had already missed the opportunity and had no way to start.
The hopes of the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were disappointed one after another, but soon Shen Xiaoxiang accepted it calmly, it was nothing more than a bamboo basket for water, and she did not have any substantial losses. Anyway, there are young concubines in the harem, and there will always be another pregnancy and childbirth, as long as she is patient, she can always find an opportunity.
