Chapter 337: The Heir

No matter what other people inside and outside the palace talked about or had other thoughts, they didn't affect the production of Li Huifei in the palace.

In order to ensure that she avoided the private strife in the harem, Mrs. Lin, an old lady from a wealthy family, had been staring at the many concubines in the palace with her eyes wide open, not to mention other concubines, even the queen Chen Jing was on her guard.

In addition to personally taking Li Huifei, who was weak in the palace, to live in her palace and wait for childbirth, in fact, she also made corresponding protection arrangements for the other party's concubines and Queen Chen Jing.

Relatively speaking, Lin Zhe himself rarely deals with these things, on the one hand, Lin Zhe said that he is still a descendant, and he has never seen how terrible a woman's palace fight is in his two lives, on the other hand, most of Lin Zhe's energy is focused on military and political affairs, where there is nothing to worry about the palace fight of those women in the harem.

Therefore, since Lin Zhe was included in the nine concubines, this harem is still in a calm and peaceful state, which is inseparable from Mrs. Lin's strong means, and under her coercion, it is impossible for any concubine to use any selfish means.

Mrs. Lin did this, the main reason is naturally to hope that the royal family will spread out, the Lin family's long house has been worn alone for three generations, if Lin Zhe does not give birth to a few more sons, there will be no place for the throne to pass down in the future, is it possible to pass it to the side branch of the Lin family?

On the other hand. Mrs. Lin is also a person who pays attention to the overall situation, and she knows that her son is busy with military and political affairs every day. If there is still trouble in the palace every day, it will affect Lin Zhe's state, so she tries her best to create a stable and harmonious harem for her son. So that he doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the palace.

From this point of view, Lin Zhe still has to thank Mrs. Lin for her support!

On August 23, Li Huifei showed signs of labor, and then a large number of midwives from the medical office who had been prepared for a long time went in to deliver the baby, and at the same time, a number of doctors from the medical department were on call outside to prevent the danger of dystocia.

In order to ensure the safety of production, Lin Zhe personally intervened, ignoring the so-called traditions and the like, insisting on comprehensive alcohol disinfection in the delivery room and the people who came and went.

Although this disinfection is common knowledge for later generations, it is still too advanced for contemporary times. Many people don't understand, but Lin Zhe, the emperor, personally spoke, and they have to be fully disinfected whether they want to or not, and then they can enter the delivery room.

His second child is about to be born, and Lin Zhe has rarely let go of the outside government affairs, and spends the whole day outside the delivery room waiting for news.

Not only Lin Zhe is waiting for the news in the delivery room, but many people inside and outside the palace are also waiting for the news, Fang Defei and Queen Chen are all praying and waiting for the news, what are they praying for? Naturally, it was a prayer that Li Huifei would give birth to not a son. It's a daughter.

The few ministers outside the palace who knew the situation were also waiting for this news, for example, Jiang Daoquan, the minister of education who was most concerned about Lin Zhe's heir, ran to Pingrentang after getting the news at noon, nominally waiting for His Majesty to summon him with Prime Minister Bi Yutong. But in reality, it is just waiting for news from the palace.

The sun rises and sets, and when it comes to the evening, Lin Zhe rarely hears Li Huifei's screams from the delivery room!

And there was no sound. That's not good news!

Lin Zhe, who was calm in the face of many military and political affairs, couldn't help but be nervous at this moment, compared to an heir or something. He cares more about his children.

I had been waiting for the lights to come on, and there was a sound in the delivery room. Just before Lin Zhe was about to fall into a state of irritability, a cry came from inside the house!

The cry was like a star that suddenly appeared in the dark night, breaking the darkness of the sky in an instant!

Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps inside, a middle-aged midwife about forty years old walked out of the delivery room quickly, and when she came out, Mrs. Lin took the initiative to step forward: "How is it?" Is it a boy? ”

The midwife shouted with a happy face: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Queen Mother, you are a prince!" ”

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she couldn't hold back the joy on her face, and said continuously: "Okay, good!" ”

Lin Zhe was also relieved when he heard this, this is a man or a woman It doesn't make much difference to him personally, how to say it, the nine concubines add up to ten wives, and which aspect of his function is normal, even if he gives birth to a daughter now, he can always produce a son later.

But now that I have a son, people outside the province are screaming and saying that the country is unstable and so on. 、

However, everyone was immersed in joy for a few minutes, and suddenly a few people rushed out of it, only to see them running straight to the waiting doctors in the medical office and whispering something, and then someone ran to Mrs. Lin and said something, Mrs. Lin bowed her head and gave two orders, that is, let the large group of doctors enter the delivery room together.

Then she went to Lin Zhe's side: "Concubine Li Hui doesn't seem to be in a good state, but don't worry, my mother has already let them in to see, presumably it will be fine!" ”

Lin Zhe frowned slightly when he heard this, although he personally did not have the love that Li Huifei often said in later generations, but she had just given birth to a son for herself, no matter what, he would not ignore her.

And just now because of the joy of getting a son, it was also diluted all of a sudden, and immediately turned to an official of the medical department, although he hadn't said anything yet, but just this glance made the official of the medical department break out in a cold sweat, and immediately took two quick steps and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang She had excessive bleeding during childbirth, and now she has fainted, but Your Majesty can rest assured, the medical department has already expected this situation, and now the few doctors who go in are the most prestigious doctors in the country, and they are enough to deal with this situation!" ”

Lin Zhe didn't speak, just nodded!

He didn't need to say a word after being in the top position for many years, just a look and a look were enough to let these subordinate officials know the priority of the matter.

Time passes. It wasn't until more than an hour later that a white-bearded doctor in a white robe came out. Full of exhaustion, he walked up to Lin Zhe, and then said, "Your Majesty." The mother has turned the corner, and now she is asleep! ”

After Lin Zhe heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, even if he could calmly deal with the tens of thousands of casualties, he was still extremely concerned about the life and death of the people around him, and no one wanted his pillow person to die because of dystocia, even if there was no love in it!

"Can I go in and see her?" Lin Zhe rarely used an inquiring tone.

However, the old doctor looked embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's okay to look at nature, but I'm afraid it will be disinfected before going in." I'm afraid I've neglected Your Majesty's dragon body! ”

Lin Zhe didn't care, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way!" ”

However, what did Mrs. Lin on the side want to say, she knew that she wanted to oppose it when she looked at this expression, because the traditional concept is that women are ominous before and after childbirth, and this man is not allowed to enter, not to mention that Lin Zhe is still the emperor.

However, what Lin Zhe wants to do, naturally it is not the turn of others to discipline, he himself doesn't care about anything auspicious or ominous, and immediately with the help of several doctors in the medical department. Initially disinfected with alcohol, then put on a white robe and entered the delivery room.

At this time, blood stains could still be seen in the delivery room, and Li Huifei on the bed was asleep on the bed, her pale face was bloodless!

After walking over. Lin Zhe looked down a few times, and only after confirming that she was okay could he be relieved, and said softly in his mouth words that she couldn't hear: "It's hard!" ”

At this moment. In this courtyard, or even in the entire palace. I'm afraid that Lin Zhe is the only one who really cares about Li Huifei!

Others, including Mrs. Lin. They are concerned about the child in Li Huifei's womb, that is, the prince who has been born now, and as for Li Huifei, after she successfully gave birth to the prince, her importance in the eyes of Mrs. Lin and others has declined rapidly.

"Take care of her!" Before Lin Zhe left the delivery room, he personally instructed a few old mothers in the back!

The next day, the palace affairs department officially announced to the hundred officials: the empire has ushered in the first prince, and His Majesty Lin Zhe personally named it 'Xuan' (qing fourth tone).

It is the tradition of the Lin family to use a single word as the name, and the original meaning of the word 砃 used is 'stone', which means that the prince can be as tenacious as a solid stone. At the same time, this word is still a rare word, as for why the rare word is used, this is to make it convenient for the people to avoid it, although the empire does not stipulate that it is necessary to formally avoid it, but the tradition for thousands of years is like this, after Lin Zhe became the emperor, many subordinate officials and some people with 'Zhe' took the initiative to change their names to avoid causing any trouble.

The name of the prince is also like this, although there is no explicit provision to avoid it, but in order to avoid the people and there is a large-scale name change, the name is often specially chosen when choosing a rare word.

As for the title and the like, it is naturally not so fast, not to mention that he has to wait until he grows up, and as for the king, he will have to wait until at least after the age of sixteen.

Lin Zhe finally has a son, and a large number of officials outside are happier than Lin Zhe himself, why, because for them, the empire has an heir, and the cause they are fighting for has been inherited, and there is no need to worry every day that if Lin Zhe dies unlucky, this huge empire will fall apart.

So it didn't take a few days to make the congratulatory watches of the Wenchen military generals flew into Pingrentang like snowflakes, and Lin Zhe naturally came to deal with them, but in order to show that he was celebrating with the people, he would also make some arrangements, such as tax reduction and exemption for some poor and disaster-stricken areas, and for example, in the name of the prince, a school funded by the royal family was established to recruit poor children to go to school, and give free tuition, etc.

After giving birth to her son, Li Huifei gradually improved after recuperating for half a month, but the doctor at the medical office said that this time the birth still fell to the root of the disease, and I am afraid that she will have to rely on recuperation for the rest of her life.

Another half a month later, Fang Defei also gave birth to a daughter smoothly, and another week later, Queen Chen Jing gave birth to the second generation, and she was still a daughter.

For a time, the women in the palace's courtyards were some happy and some worried! (To be continued......)
