Zhu Cihong has been in a good mood these days.

Potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes have been promoted and planted in Nanzhili and Shandong, although it is only a small-scale pilot in the two provinces, but if everything is normal, the harvest season can also be very successful.

The yields of the three high-yielding crops are incomparable to those of rice and wheat, and the most important thing is that they can be grown in drought tolerance.

This was especially precious during the Xiaoice period.

Zhu Cihong even thought that if these three crops could have been planted earlier, there would not have been so many famines and so many peasant army uprisings during the Chongzhen period.

The foundation of the Ming Dynasty will not be shaken.

What a pity.

However, it is not too late to promote it, and the mountainous areas there will be more suitable for growing these coarse grains after the southwest is settled.

Of course, it was not only this one thing that made Zhu Cihong happy.

His queen was overjoyed.

In fact, Zhu Cihong is not a person who is obsessed with women, except for the wedding night and the queen Tongtang had a Dunlun ceremony, and there is no other call to the queen to sleep.

I didn't expect this one-time joy to win...

This probability is really staggering.

In any case, the imperial physician gave a clear diagnosis, and the queen was indeed pregnant.

This is an absolute joy for Zhu Cihong and even for the entire Ming Dynasty.

For Zhu Cihong himself, it can be regarded as a respite.

You must know that before this, there was a lot of discussion among the government and the opposition about the delay in the appointment of the emperor by the Son of Heaven, and some people even speculated whether His Majesty the emperor had some unspeakable hidden disease.

It wasn't until after Zhu Cihong's book that this statement was slightly suppressed.

Now that the queen is pregnant, this absurd statement is naturally self-defeating.

The Son of Heaven is the only man in the palace, can he still be green?

The only suspense is whether the baby conceived by the queen is male or female.

Ordinary people still attach great importance to this matter, let alone the heavenly family.

The Heavenly Family has no selfish affairs, and the issue of the emperor's own heirs is also the most concerned by the courtiers.

This is related to whether the national capital is stable and whether the national honor can be extended, which must not be underestimated.

Especially the queen's first child, if it is a prince, it will be perfect.

The eldest son, according to the patriarchal inheritance rules of the Ming royal family, is a well-deserved candidate for the crown prince.

If His Majesty the Emperor dares not to canonize the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince, the ministers will inevitably cry and fight for the country.

They are very experienced in this regard.

At the beginning, Emperor Wanli wanted to canonize King Fu as the crown prince, and the civil officials fought hard to live and die.

In the end, after fighting for more than ten years, King Fu went from a child to an adult, and Emperor Wanli did not win, so he had no choice but to let King Fu go to Henan to become a vassal.

Of course, it is too early to discuss this issue, and the premise of everything is that the queen gave birth to a prince.

If you are a princess, you will not have this kind of trouble for the time being. However, the ministers will follow suit, asking His Majesty the Emperor to continue to work hard to create people and spread the branches for the Emperor.

said that Zhu Cihong took the initiative to come to Kunning Palace on this day, and all the palace people were shocked. On weekdays, His Majesty the Emperor would never take the initiative to go to Kunning Palace, and the Empress Mother was not prepared at all.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand to signal them to keep quiet, and walked towards the main hall by himself.

Gently pushing the door in, Zhu Cihong walked in slowly.

Seeing that Queen Tongtang was embroidering something, Zhu Cihong walked up to the front and coughed and said, "Queen, I heard that you have been a little anorexic recently, can you call the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it?" ”

"Ahh

Tongtang was taken aback, hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand, got up and bowed to Zhu Cihong: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Cihong stepped forward to help her and said, "Queen, you don't need to be polite if you are pregnant." ”

"The concubine thanked Your Majesty. Actually, it's nothing, it's just that you can't eat much, and it's better to eat more vinegar. ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Cihong was overjoyed when he heard this.

He heard that there is a folk saying called sour and spicy girls.

It means that if a pregnant woman likes to eat sour food, then most of them are pregnant with boys. If she likes spicy food, then she is much more likely to conceive a girl.

There is no special basis for this statement, most of it is based on experience, but it makes Zhu Cihong very happy.

Of course, he wants to see the queen give birth to a prince, and now the emperor urgently needs a prince to appease people's hearts.

"That's the imperial dining room to make you more sour dishes, and you can raise the baby with peace of mind."

"The concubine thanked Your Majesty."

Tongtang blushed and hung his head.

Zhu Cihong took a sample of the cloth embroidered by the queen and looked at it, and asked casually: "What is the queen embroidered?" ”

"Ah, it's a mandarin duck."

Tongtang pursed his lips and said.

"Oh? I look like a pair of ducks. ”

Zhu Cihong said half-jokingly.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had made a joke.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the father of the subjects of the world, he must show great majesty in front of people, just like a god.

He also has no relatives in the palace, and he has nowhere to relieve loneliness.

Until he had a queen.

Tongtang is a standard gentle and virtuous lady, and when she is with her, Zhu Cihong can temporarily put aside the annoying government affairs and nag like an ordinary person.

It seems that you should still walk around the queen more in the future.

"Poof!"

Tongtang couldn't help but laugh out loud for a while.

"Your Majesty's statement is interesting. Is the embroidery of the concubine so unbearable? ”

Zhu Cihong sighed and said, "I said it casually, don't take it to heart." By the way, what do you suddenly embroider mandarin ducks. ”

The concubine just felt that it was a little boring to stay in this deep palace all day, so she embroidered some patterns casually. I felt that this mandarin duck was auspicious and embroidered. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled: "It's okay, but the queen has to pay attention to her body, don't be tired." I'm still looking forward to the birth of the emperor. ”

Saying that, Zhu Cihong put his ear to the queen's stomach and listened for a long time.

"Hey, why didn't you hear the emperor's heartbeat."

The queen's face turned red and said: "The concubine has just become pregnant, how can it be so fast..."

"Ahem..." Zhu Cihong laughed awkwardly, waved his hand and said, "It's me who is too anxious." ”

When he saw the queen embroidering things, he suddenly thought that his mother, Queen Zhou, would also weave in the palace during her lifetime, and she mobilized all the palace maids together, and he felt a lot of emotion for a while.

"My queen mother took the palace maids to weave cloth in the palace back then, and my father's emperor was reluctant to throw away a dragon robe when it was torn in a few places, so he continued to wear it. They are so frugal, but they can't imagine that kind of ending. ”

The queen saw that Zhu Cihong suddenly said something sad, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she comforted: "Your Majesty, you are the Ming monarch, and you will definitely be able to lead the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Cihong sighed and said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, the burden of the world is on my shoulders, and sometimes I really feel out of breath." But Queen, you're right, I will definitely lead the Ming Dynasty to prosper. For you, for the unborn emperor, for the people of the world! ”
