After the instructions, Zhu Youlang was in a good mood, and after closing the military book, he was planning to eat some snacks to satisfy his hunger and soothe fatigue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Suddenly, a little chamberlain in a green robe ran quickly towards the study, came to the door, looked at the emperor who had just finished dealing with the matter of cotton yarn, for fear of disturbing him, and was hesitating to go immediately.

Yang Shouchun, the waiter who was serving on the side, saw it and greeted him, and the little waiter looked relieved when he saw this, raised his head and approached Yang Shouchun and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Yang Shouchun looked overjoyed, hurriedly walked to Zhu Youlang's side, and said sharply: "Back to the emperor, the queen mother has a happy pulse again." ”

"What? You repeat! Zhu Youlang was so shocked that he slapped the imperial case and almost knocked over the ink on the imperial case.

"There was news from the apse just now, saying that the queen mother has a happy pulse, and the old slave congratulates the emperor on adding a dragon heir!" In the end, he was already dancing and bowing down. The royal family, like ordinary people, is a rare happy event.

Zhu Youlang was still a little incredulous, and he asked, "Is this news true?" ”

"It's true, it was the Tai Hospital who personally sent someone to report it."

"It's really the emperor who has eyes, the ancestors have manifested, and I have another heir!" Zhu Youlang stood up, pacing excitedly from side to side in the study, and suddenly, he turned around and ordered: "Someone!" Set up the apse, I want to go and see it! ”

However, Zhu Youlang went to the residence of the queen king in the apse, and entered the curtain, the queen was embroidering clothes and ornaments in the house, and when she saw Zhu Youlang coming, she hurriedly put down her needlework and got up to greet her.

Zhu Youlang, accompanied by Queen Wang, chuckled and sat on the Luohan Collapse not far away.

"Beloved wife, come here."

Queen Wang walked to Zhu Youlang's side according to her words, and her body shook coldly, and she was already embraced.

Feeling the softness and elasticity of his chest, Zhu Youlang smiled and said with some complaints: "How did you tell me about such a big event?" When did you get pregnant and how long have you been? ”

Snuggled tightly in Zhu Youlang's arms, enjoying his heartfelt caress and gratitude, Queen Wang felt unprecedented ease and happiness.

She hugged Zhu Youlang's neck, like a coquettish girl, and whispered in his ear: "It's been more than a month, and the concubine can't believe that she is so pregnant, at first I just thought it was late for the menstruation, and I didn't take it to heart, I have been nagging in recent days, people are lazy, and I just want to sleep, and the concubine is not sure yet, so I didn't mention it to you, and it wasn't until today that I asked the imperial doctor to take the pulse and was diagnosed." ”

"Do the two queen mothers know?"

"I don't know."

Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Queen Mother and tell them the news of my beloved wife's pregnancy, I dare to guarantee that the two Queen Mothers will be happy to die if they know it!" ”

Queen Wang's face was slightly red, and she bowed her head in response with shame.

Outside the hall, Yang Shouchun quickly beckoned the other attendants to carry him over.

"Please ask the emperor and the mother to come up."

With the support of the attendants, Zhu Youlang boarded the step, and then stretched out his hand to pull Queen Wang up and sit with him.

Seeing that the two masters were seated, Yang Shouchun said, "Get up!" He led the way, and several other sturdy eunuchs walked slowly with their steps, and there were a few palace maids accompanying them.

The attendants carried their shoulders and walked through the hall all the way, and after a while, they arrived outside the dormitory of the queen mother of the two palaces.

"It's past the door, please ask the emperor and the lady to get down!"

Yang Shouchun and other inner supervisors showed nervous expressions, and when they leaned forward, everyone hurriedly helped Zhu Youlang and Queen Wang down, standing in place, Zhu Youlang unconsciously straightened his waist, and straightened his crown clothes, and then took his wife Queen Wang, walked proudly, and climbed the stairs.

Before he even stepped into the dormitory, he heard some sporadic laughter coming from the hall.

Since the queen gave birth to her eldest son Zhu Cijiao a few years ago, the happiest is the Empress Dowager Cisheng Wang and the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng Ma, and the two often take the little Cijiao to the dormitory to tease and accompany her.

There is a big cradle next to the collapse in the hall, and the white and chubby little ci who has just turned one year old is lying in the cradle, and Wang and Ma are gently shaking beside them.

"Sister, look at this child, this eyebrows and eyes, it really looks like the fourth brother."

Ma Shi looked at his grandson and said to the Wang family of the main palace with a smile.

Wang shook the cradle lightly while smiling and nodding frequently.

Zhu Youlang stood at the head of the door outside the hall, listening to the laughter and laughter in the hall, his heart was quite emotional, and it was also very warm.

In less than half a year, the first wave of the Qing army's major offensive is coming, and at that time, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he will be the first to be captured, including his wife and children.

Fortunately, the situation in the south is very favorable to Daming, and the warm and harmonious family has also given Zhu Youlang infinite confidence, and with this understanding, he stepped into the palace with his head held high.

"Fourth brother, are you here?"

When Ma Shi saw Zhu Youlang enter the hall, his face suddenly showed surprise.

"Son Youlang, ask the two mother concubines Kun'an!" Zhu Youlang bowed his head and saluted, and Queen Wang also followed him to salute.

"Hurry up, my good boy, isn't it time to deal with state affairs, why did you suddenly have time to come to the apse to greet my mother?"

Next to Ma sat a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a round face, a slightly fat body, no fat powder, and kind eyebrows, but the crow's feet were already very deep, showing old age; The head is quickly haired with bead nets, several strings of beads and gems are sagging, and the long hairpin with honey platinum inlaid with gold and agate is even more luxurious.

Zhu Youlang knew that this was the concubine of the old Gui King Zhu Changying, the queen mother.

The old queen mother nodded cordially to Zhu Youlang, and instructed the maid to move the two embroidery piers and put down the head.

Zhu Youlang and his wife sat down according to the courtesy.

"My son came to the apse because he had good news to tell the two concubines."

"What's the good news?" Seeing that Zhu Youlang had a flush on his face, Ma couldn't help but ask curiously.

Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "Wan'er is pregnant again." ”

"What?!" Ma Shi stood up in surprise after hearing this, and even the Wang family next to him was also surprised.

Zhu Youlang saw the reaction of this cheap old lady, and couldn't help but smile secretly: "The imperial doctor diagnosed Wan'er's pulse, saying that she has a happy pulse, and Wan'er also has signs of pregnancy, so she shouldn't be able to fake it." ”

"Wan'er is really pregnant? God bless me Zhu! Ma's eyes were full of smiles, and the color of joy was overflowing, he originally had a lot of complaints about his son's willingness to be only willing to be the queen of Linxing, in order to continue the country, the royal family needs to give birth to as many heirs as possible, so the more concubines the emperor can be lucky, the better, only one woman is likely to be broken!

Ordinary gentry and wealthy families still pay attention to the continuation of their children, let alone the royal family? The previous dynasty's Tianqi, Hongguang, and Longwu had no heirs, and Ma was very afraid that Zhu Youlang would repeat the mistakes of the past and cut off the inheritance of Sheji, but fortunately, the queen's stomach was also considered to be competitive, and she successfully gave birth to a prince a year ago, which made Ma's anxious heart get a trace of comfort, but I didn't expect that after a year, the queen was pregnant again, and Ma looked at how his daughter-in-law Wang looked at how pleasing to the eye.

"Queen, how is your body at this time, let the old body take a good look."

Ma looked at Queen Wang lovingly, waved her hand lightly, and asked for warmth.

"Wan'er is fine, the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry."

Queen Wang showed a healthy and happy smile.

The Empress Dowager Cisheng Wang was also delighted and said: "The queen has a happy vein, it is a rare happy event in the heavenly family, and now it is a coincidence, and it is time to have dinner soon, and now the family gathers together to have a reunion dinner and celebrate." ”

As the queen mother of the main palace passed the meal, the palace maids on the side served various dishes one after another in order.

There are not a lot of dishes on the table, there are fried cucumbers, pig intestines, steamed duck, shallots and tofu, celery, bamboo shoots fried shredded pork, cabbage rolls and other more than a dozen dishes, but it is mostly vegetarian, less meat, the queen mother of the two palaces pursues frugality, the royal dishes are very ordinary, the Yongli court was built in the troubled times, naturally not so much exquisite.

At the banquet, the queen mother of the two palaces in order to celebrate, symbolically drank a glass of wine, because the queen was pregnant, Ma did not allow her to drink, so she could only eat honestly, and as the head of the family, Yongli Zhu Youlang was also not good at drinking, and drank two glasses of meaning and did not drink anymore.

During the banquet, his wife, Queen Wang, quietly served Zhu Youlang a few dishes.

Zhu Youlang ate it in his mouth, and his heart was warm.

A family banquet lasted for more than an hour, and it didn't end until one moment after the hour, when the lights were on.

At the end of the banquet, Ma asked Queen Wang to take good care of her body and rest more, and Queen Wang agreed repeatedly.

The Queen Mother of the Main Palace also said a few words to the Queen with a smile, to the effect that she was just asked to take good care of her body.

Then they waved goodbye to each other, and the eldest son Zhu Cijiao still stayed in the apse to be taken care of by the queen mother of the two palaces.

Seeing that the Queen Mother Ma, Wang and others turned the temple base and walked backwards, Zhu Youlang took his wife and walked down the palace steps. After stepping up, Zhu Youlang saw that Queen Wang's body was trembling slightly, afraid that she would be frozen, so he took off the sheepskin jacket on his body and gently draped it on her.

Wrapped in Zhu Youlang's jacket, Queen Wang took advantage of the situation to put her head and neck on his chest, looking at the jade man in her arms, Zhu Youlang's heart was full of tenderness and sweetness.

He is familiar with history and knows that as the last queen of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the final fate is also very tragic. Looking at Queen Wang's weak and emaciated figure, Zhu Youlang felt a distress in his heart for no reason, although his soul had only been in this world for more than half a year, he already had a wife who loved him, and elders who felt sorry for him, Zhu Youlang didn't want to lose them.

"Beloved wife, I won't let you repeat the tragedy of history, we will definitely go on safely and happily, don't worry!" Zhu Youlang said silently in his heart, his fists clenched tightly. (To be continued.) )
