Chapter 755: Princess Zhaoren

Yi Concubine Ulan Tuya gave birth to a daughter, and Concubine Lan Hai Lanzhu, who was already very familiar with Han culture, was worried that Emperor Chongzhen would be unhappy.

Including Yi Concubine Ulan Tuya herself, after learning that she gave birth to a daughter, she was also very depressed.

Even if these concubines from Horqin in Chuxiu Palace are not familiar with the culture of the Han people and do not understand the tradition of the Han royal family of having many sons and blessings, they also know that having a son will definitely be more able to please Emperor Chongzhen.

Because of the importance of offspring, male children, and the inheritance of patrilineal family bloodline, among the various tribes of the Mongolian steppe, the customs of the Han people in the Central Plains are exactly the same, or even more so.

Therefore, after Yi Concubine Ulan Tuya left a daughter a few days in advance but very smoothly, Lan Concubine Hai Lanzhu, Yi Concubine Ulan Tuya herself, and Princess Le'an, who had been guarding the Chuxiu Palace, and other royal relatives and the wives of the noble family, everyone did not know how to report this "good news" to the emperor in advance.

However, no matter what, this is Emperor Chongzhen's first child, and it will definitely not work if he doesn't report the news as soon as possible.

As a result, Wang Chengen, who has also been guarding in Chuxiu Palace, has become the most suitable person for this.

However, in the end, it turned out that those people in the Chuxiu Palace were wrong, or overthinking.

The Chongzhen Emperor from later generations did not have the idea of patriarchy in this era at all.

When Emperor Chongzhen, who heard the news, personally picked up the fat baby girl included in the brocade from Ulan Tuya's arms, his cautious and gentle movements, as well as the excitement and joy on his face from the heart, made Hai Lanzhu and Ulan Tuya, as well as the palace maids who were guarding the side hall of Chuxiu Palace with fear, completely relieved their hearts.

Emperor Chongzhen, of course, considered the question of whether the child in Ulan Tuya's belly was a boy or a girl.

But he was not as worried as the empress or some of the noble ministers of the court.

How big the world is! There are places that can be divided!

And how young he is now, he has time to change or transform all aspects of the Ming Dynasty.

There are grandchildren, but there are no grandchildren.

This is the tradition of the Han dynasty in China, and it is also the tradition of the Ming Dynasty.

For this tradition, the current Emperor Chongzhen does not object, but not opposing does not mean that he must abide by it.

If the queen has sons, and the sons are also wise and wise, then of course they must follow this tradition of succession.

But if the sons of other concubines are better and more capable of leading the Ming Dynasty in the direction he wants, then he will not favor anyone just because he is the son-in-law.

In the later Manchu Dynasty, although there were all kinds of things that made him feel deeply disgusted, the system of secretly establishing a prince after Kangxi was quite desirable.

In the case that the situation of his sons is similar in all aspects, of course, he will not risk the world's condemnation to change the traditional practice of the primogeniture inheritance system, and of course he will give priority to the concubines born to the queen.

But if the sons born to the queen are really not angry, then he will not be confined to this traditional patriarchal system and dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool.

After all, the continuation and revival of the Ming Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, the Han dynasty in China, is much more important than this dispute between the concubines.

If the empress or any other concubine gave birth to a son, now the Chongzhen Emperor would not have kept them by his side all the time, and grew up in this Forbidden City surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.

When he reaches a certain age, he must let them go out to endure hardships and grow up through hardships.

Of course, if you are a girl, then forget it, and be a noble princess quietly.

Let's say that Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, and Empress Yi'an, who also heard the news, came to visit Chuxiu Palace on the night of Ulan Tuya's birth, so that Hai Lanzhu and Ulan Tuya and the palace maids and eunuchs in Chuxiu Palace were all relieved.

The actions of Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Chongzhen fully demonstrated the emperor's attention and love for the newborn eldest princess, and at the same time dispelled the doubts of many people in the palace and highlighted the status of Chuxiu Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen did not hide his love for the newborn eldest princess in the Chuxiu Palace, and let people pass the palm print eunuch Cao Huachun of the celebrant overnight, and passed the decree on the spot that Jin Yi Concubine was the Yi Concubine, and the back of the Yangxin Palace, that is, the Yongshou Palace on the west side of the Qianqing Palace, which was closest to the Qianqing Palace, was given to the new Yi Fei, and after the eldest princess was full moon, Yi Fei was ordered to move in with her daughter.

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, but Empress Zhou and Empress Yi'an were even happier than Emperor Chongzhen.

Since the news of Yi Concubine's pregnancy was confirmed, Queen Zhou has not been enthusiastic about Concubine Lan, Yi Concubine and others in Chuxiu Palace.

Except for Concubine Lan who took Yi Concubine and others to Kunning Palace to say hello, Empress Zhou rarely went to Chuxiu Palace in person to visit the pregnant Yi Concubine.

But at this time, Empress Zhou not only came over in person, but also immediately agreed to Emperor Chongzhen's promotion of Ulan Tuya's title.

At the same time, he also brought many valuable Korean ginseng to the new Concubine Yi, and gave Concubine Yi a large number of valuable gold and silver utensils.

Even including the queen herself, after she became pregnant, she had nothing to do, and cut and sewed a set of baby clothes, shoes and hats by herself.

And Empress Zhang, who has always been a sister to Empress Zhou, also brought a variety of supplements to the new Concubine Yi.

These two empresses, one is the widow of Emperor Tianqi and the sister-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen, and the other is the wife of Emperor Chongzhen and the queen of the dynasty.

Corresponding to the esteemed status, in today's Forbidden City, these two women in charge of Gong Zhengji are naturally the richest women.

Needless to say, Emperor Chongzhen's usual rewards are already a lot of income just because the palace is full of gold and silver utensils and various treasures that the palace receives every year through Dongchang and Baohe Company.

At this time, when he learned that Ulan Tuya had given birth to a daughter, he was in a good mood, so he naturally made a generous move.

As a result, the invisible high wall that originally stood between Chuxiu Palace and Kunning Palace disappeared all at once.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen also saw the subtle changes, but there was nothing wrong with the empress being so happy.

On the second day, Emperor Chongzhen rewarded all the eunuchs and maids in the palace again in the name of himself and the queen, and even rewarded the imperial doctors, stable women and palace maids who served in the Chuxiu Palace, in order to congratulate the emperor on having a daughter.

Emperor Chongzhen and the empress were so happy, and the families of the powerful relatives in the Beijing division naturally could not be indifferent, and the noble families represented by the British Mansion and the Dingguo Mansion also sent female dependents into the palace to send gifts and greetings.

Even the Jiading Bo Mansion and Tian Guo's Uncle Mansion, which were still a little open and secret, also gave heavy gifts to Chuxiu Palace.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Chongzhen finally searched through the jade sent into the palace by the Zongren Mansion led by Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, and gave his eldest daughter the name Wei Wei and the title Princess Zhaoren.

With a newborn baby in the Forbidden City, the atmosphere inside the red walls immediately changed.

Whether it is the Chuxiu Palace where Concubine Yi still lives, or the newly sealed Yongshou Palace, including the palace communities where the other concubines live, the palace maids and eunuchs seem to suddenly have something to do, and everyone is busy.

At the same time, the newborn babies in the Forbidden City seem to be more vigorous, and the palace maids and eunuchs are busy, but they are also full of joy and inexhaustible strength.

Before and after this festive event, there is also the Queqiao meeting in front of the Huangji Gate on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Everything is like a story that happened here a year ago.

From the three guards of the pro-army, from the lecture martial arts hall, and even from the young military attachés and low-level colonels from the imperial attendant military attaché, all of them made themselves like a groom official, and under the auspices of Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace who was also in charge of the affairs of the imperial attendant military attaché, gathered in the square in front of the Huangji Gate.

They either introduce themselves dryly, or show their talents unexpectedly, and at the same time, accept the onlookers and selections of the female officials and older palace maids.

The various riddles prepared by the nerds of the Hanlin Academy, written on the lanterns, were not attractive to the officers who were mostly old and rude, and those palace ladies and older palace ladies who were eager to marry themselves when they reached the age did not have the usual elegance to guess what lantern riddles those Hanlin had written.

In this way, with the birth of Princess Zhaoren and the continuation of the Lantern Festival Night Magpie Bridge Meeting, the Forbidden City, which had been cold and depressing in the past, suddenly became full of the fireworks of market life unconsciously.

Those who live in it seem to have been lifted from the spell, or the invisible shackles have been removed, as if they have just come to life, and suddenly come to life.
