Chapter 293: The Birth of the Prince

looked at the official notice handed over by his younger brother, but the eldest did not answer, reached out and pushed it into his brother's arms, turned around and grabbed the book next to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info hugged him tightly in his arms, and the boss looked curiously at the people around him.

Zhao Zhen looked stunned for a moment, and then slapped his palms and laughed: "Good, good, good, poetry and books are heirlooms, Aiqing is a successor!" But he wants to study, but the king can't give it to him, so he has to work hard himself! ”

Xu Ping looked at Panpan, who was pulling his sister, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, wait for the eldest sister to marry a well-educated Confucian in a few years, and teach the two younger brothers." ”

Pan Pan heard Daddy say that he was talking about himself, twisted his nose, made a grimace, turned his head and ignored it, and everyone laughed together.

This kind of ritual is just a game, how can it be that the child's future can be decided by this playful grasp? However, Xu Ping still felt very relieved, this game cannot determine the future of the child, but it is the first impression left on all relatives and friends, and it is an opportunity to win glory for the family and parents, and the two little ones are really good.

At the end of the ceremony, Xu Zheng, as a parent, gave his two grandchildren their names. When the eldest brother took the official notice, he became a rank, and he will become an official in the future. The second brother took the book, and he became a scholar, and he studied hard in the future. The two children caught today, although it can't determine their future, but it gives the adults in the family a direction to cultivate, and whether they succeed or not is another matter.

Then set up a banquet to entertain the guests and friends who came to congratulate, and Zhao Zhen, Li Yonghe and others naturally sat on the table.

When it was bustling, Lan Yuanyong, who was in charge of the palace guards, suddenly hurried over. was sweating profusely, and when he arrived in front of Zhao Zhen, he didn't have time to salute, but he just crossed his hands and said: "Official, Miao Cai is not well, and he is about to give birth to a dragon!" ”

The wine glass in Zhao Zhen's hand almost fell to the ground, and he asked Xu Ping, who was accompanying him, before confirming what Lan Yuanyong said.

With this news, where can Zhao Zhen sit still? In a hurry, he wanted to return to the palace, and he didn't even care about the honor guard book, but he just brought a few guards and rode back to the city.

Xu Ping didn't dare to slack off, followed Li Zhang, beckoned all the cavalry in the guard, and followed closely behind. Lan Yuan used it just right, so he asked him to gather all his entourage and hurriedly returned to the palace.

Zhao Zhen has no heirs, and has given birth to a son so far, who died early just after birth. It is precisely because of this that he looked at Xu Ping, who only had one wife and one concubine, who was obviously the same age as himself, but had two sons and two daughters, and they were both healthy and lovely, and he was so envious in his heart. Finally having a second son, I was so happy that I almost flew up.

When he arrived outside the vertical arch, Xu Ping saw Li Di and Chen Zhizhong, as well as Zhang Shixun and Han Yi, who were already waiting there. A few of them are on duty today, and they should have gotten the news and are waiting here.

There are various rituals for the birth of a prince, especially the first thing to tell the ruling minister that they must arrive. The prince is the foundation of the country, not only the emperor's family affairs, but also state affairs, and state affairs cannot be concealed.

Li Zhang led the guards into the inner house, and Xu Ping stepped forward to greet several ministers.

Li Di asked Xu Ping: "When the saint came to your house to watch the ceremony today, he must have something to say." The birth of a dragon son in the palace, what news do you have? ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "I only know the Miao talent who gave birth to the dragon, and I don't know anything else." The emperor's family affairs, how can our courtiers ask casually? Soon there was news in the palace, and Xiang Xin waited for peace of mind. ”

Li Di nodded, stopped talking, his face was solemn, and he waited quietly outside the vertical arch with everyone.

This kind of thing in the palace is calculated very accurately, and three months before giving birth, the pregnant concubines begin to receive various rewards, and the amount is extremely large. With such a big movement, it is impossible to hide it from the foreign court, Miao Cai is pregnant, and everyone here knows it.

At this time, time passed very slowly, and the ministers who had received the news rushed over one after another, and a crowd soon gathered outside the arch. However, no one exchanged heads and ears, and they all waited quietly for news from the palace.

I don't know how long it took, Lan Yuanyong brought a few little yellow doors out, his face was full of joy, and he bowed to the ministers outside the door: "Ladies and gentlemen, Miao Cairen gave birth to a dragon son smoothly, and the mother and son are safe!" The prince waited for a hard time, and the official family gave the 'bath bun' to everyone. And received the buns, and entered the palace to see the palace! ”

Li Di led the ministers to thank him, and Xiaohuangmen came up to distribute the buns, and everyone accepted them and followed them into the palace.

"Yuer buns" are not real buns, the bread in them is gold and jade, etc., just to make a lottery head to ask for good luck. Today, the ministers waited so hard, Zhao Zhen was happy again, and he rewarded some first, and the day after tomorrow he would reward the ministers.

Xu Ping took the bun and pinched it gently, knowing that the bread in it was gold, no less than ten taels. This is just an addition, and there will be heavier rewards in the future, how can I get a hundred and ten taels of gold with this status. The emperor was generous, and the other one also took this opportunity to send money to the ministers, and the closer the relationship, the more they sent.

When he arrived at Yanhe Palace, Zhao Zhen had already changed into his official clothes and sat on it happily. Obviously, this time it went much smoother, the mother and son were safe, and everyone didn't laugh before the last time the eldest son was born, so they were out of breath and couldn't be compared.

Li Di led the ministers to step forward and salute as if they were ceremonies, and congratulated them together.

Zhao Zhen ordered to flatten his body, wait for everyone to stand in shifts, and impatiently ordered Xiao Huangmen to carry all kinds of treasures and reward them again to the people present. He is really happy today, and he has to send money when he sees someone, of course, because he really has money in his hand recently.

After a while, Zhao Zhen said: "Today, the three divisions Xu Ping and the twins are trying to be young, and I went to watch the ceremony." One is that the monarch and the ministers are happy together, and the other is because the prince is about to be born and wants to be happy. I don't want the prince to come to the world just after watching the ceremony, and both mother and son are safe! The prince is the foundation of the country, and he should sue the world of Taimiao, and the world will rejoice! ”

Li Di once again took the ministers forward to congratulate, and after the ceremony, he stepped forward to ask about some details.

The prince was involved in some major state etiquette, as well as the courtesy that the biological mother should receive, and it could not be ambiguous, Zhao Zhen answered happily one by one. After he was born, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Liu, separated from his biological mother, and had personal pain, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, he answered in great detail. This is equivalent to determining the identity of Miao Cairen, no matter what happens in the future, with today's ministers as witnesses, no one can change it.

In the end, Zhao Zhencai said: "The old practice in the palace is that when the prince is born, he is separated from his biological mother and taken care of by his nursing mother. I thought about the nature of mother and child, and I couldn't bear to let him be separated as soon as I was born, and since then I have changed this old routine. In the future, the prince will be raised by Miao Cairen himself, and after his body grows up, he will be punished. This is a matter of my family, and the ministers do not need to say much. ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhen glanced at Xu Ping and nodded secretly. He was still a little skeptical about this matter before, after all, it involved the intricate relationship in the palace. I met Xu Ping's two sons today, and they looked more cheerful than the other, and finally made up their minds.

Li Di stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, the prince was raised by birth, I don't know how to get along with the queen?" ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Daily greetings and teachings, everything is the same as the old ceremony, but it just grows up with the biological mother." ”

This kind of thing is not something that can be vaguely passed in such a sentence, and in the imperial history, Cheng Kong Daofu and Shi Zhongli of Kanzhi Taichang Temple stepped forward to ask repeatedly to determine the details of etiquette.
