Chapter 389: Harem Shrinks
Suddenly brought up this matter, Jiao Niang was surprised for a while, Ying Che had said this idea more than once before, Brother Yuan was the eldest son, and he was made the prince, which was justified.
And Brother Yuan is naturally smart, no matter what he learns, he is fast, it is rare that he has an excellent temper, sensible and polite, although he is only three years old when he is full, he is obviously more mature than children of the same age, both thinking and psychology.
But he was always only four years old, and he became the prince at such a young age, and Jiao Niang was afraid that everyone would not accept it.
And whether Brother Yuan is the emperor's material or not, it seems that it is impossible to draw conclusions now. If the future is not good, and they want to change the crown prince, it will not only shake the country's foundation, but also ruin their brotherhood.
She didn't want to see King Rong's rebellion happen again, and it was her children who would repeat it.
She loves these children all the same, she doesn't want to see her children kill each other for the throne brother and son in the future, in that case, she might as well give birth to only one at the beginning, or die early and close her eyes, and she won't see anything.
After listening to Jiao Niang's words, Ying Che gently took her into his arms and stroked her hair with his big hand, "No, with me and you, our children will not kill each other." Moreover, I believe that their brothers will definitely help each other, and they will. ”
Jiao Niang leaned on him and was silent for a while, and then said, "Since you say so, I respect your decision." Fingers into his five fingers, "Our children are very well-behaved, I should actually have this confidence." ”
On the sixteenth day of the first month, Ying Che made a holy decree to set up the eldest prince Ying Tianqi as the crown prince, the second prince Ying Tianlin as the king of Chu, the third prince as the king of Yan, the fourth prince as the king of Zhao, the eldest princess as the eldest princess of Yongle, and the little princess as the princess of Changping.
On the same day, the adopted children born to the queen were all given the title, which was a great honor, and the Yongchang Marquis Mansion as the queen's maiden family was even more honorable, even if the Yongchang Marquis acted in a low-key manner, but he could not stand the grandfather of the prince and several princes and princesses, and there was an endless stream of congratulators, and the gifts sent to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion could not be contained.
Hua Jintang looked at these gifts, the nobles were even more valuable, he was honestly afraid, for fear that he would make a mistake and make trouble for Jiao Niang.
Then he brought a list of gifts to Jiao Niang, and the gifts were also sent to the palace, and she sent them down, he was timid, and he didn't dare to keep any of them.
"I didn't expect these ministers to be quite rich, Your Majesty, you have a good way of governing the country. Jiao Niang handed the gift list to Ying Che and teased.
Ying Che read a rough idea, then looked at the things piled up in the room, and waved his hand, "Wang Zhan, put these things in the treasury." ”
He knew in his heart that most of these things were also taken from the people, so he would use them for the people when they needed them.
At the same time, he sighed slightly in his heart, it seems that there is a long way to go to rectify the matter of integrity.
Jiao Niang smiled and hooked his chin and kissed him, "Am I virtuous or not? Other women are bent on pulling things to their parents' house, just me, take your mother's things and paste them to you." ”
Ying Che pursed her lips and smiled, pressed the back of her head, and deeply accentuated the kiss, "That's no way, who made me too attractive and made you love me too much." ”
"Whoever loves you, shameless. ”
Jiao Niang pushed it away to flash, but was pulled back by him and pressed on the bed.
"Just if you love me, don't be shy, I know. ”
"Ying Che, do you want to be shameless?"
"Don't. ”
The two were playing around when suddenly the door creaked open, "Queen Mother." Ying Tianlin ran in in a hurry, saw the two people twisted together on the bed, and covered his eyes with his hands, "Oh, don't look at it." There are children here, can you adults pay attention?"
Ying Che laughed and carried him to the bed, "You little rabbit, you don't know to knock on the door every time you enter." Xiaozui can say so much, why haven't I seen you read so well?"
Brother Tuan was like a big Lantern Festival, rolling into Jiao Niang's arms, "Didn't my father say that he would wait until the second day of February to study? ”
For the first time, Jiao Niang saw that Yingche was speechless by the child, she looked up to the sky and smiled, and then touched Brother Tuan'er's fleshy little face and said, "If you don't play with your brothers and brothers, what are you doing when you come in to find your mother?"
Brother Tuan'er's face was deformed by Jiao Niang's pinching, and he didn't make trouble, "I haven't seen the queen mother for a while, I miss the queen mother." "Coquettishly rubbed on the mother's chest.
The little mouth was sweet, coaxing the lady to be happy, hugging and kissing. Ying Che looked at their mother-son affection, jealous in his heart, and pouted: "Oily tone, you kid doesn't know where you learned it." ”
"I learned from my father. Brother Tuan said innocently with wide eyes.
Jiao Niang laughed out loud, and Ying Che glared at her, "Your son is really up to you, he will open his eyes and talk nonsense." ”
"As if it wasn't your son. "I don't want to pay attention to him, Jiao Niang, I got out of bed with my brother Tuan with one hand, don't look at Jiao Niang's thinness, but her arms are very strong.
I brought several children with me, and they all worked out.
Walking out of the inner room, Wodan happened to come in from the outside, and made plum blossom cakes, carrying a white porcelain plate, and placed them on the table.
Wu Dan and Jiao Niang explained the dishes prepared for lunch, and Jiao Niang told her not to make so much, if she couldn't eat it, it would be wasted. Now the treasury is empty, and the harem must be reduced.
But if the concubine was reduced, she was afraid of being said, so she had to reduce more in Zhaohua Palace.
Save where she can, she doesn't eat much, a few children can't eat much, and she can't finish dozens of dishes at all. Some dishes are often poured after only a few touches, and some are not eaten at all, and they are also poured as swill.
Jiao Niang calculated that if she used the old system of palace meals, she would have to pay 10,000 taels of silver for a moonlight meal in her Zhaohua Palace.
It's a pity that she is the only one in the harem, if there are more concubines Zhaoyi, the silver will be poured like water.
As soon as Brother Tuan saw the rose cake, his eyes lit up, and he took it from Jiao Niang, and he went to get it without washing his hands.
"No, you can't eat without washing your hands. Mama Fan was strict with discipline, and when she saw his little hand reaching into the plate, she grabbed it.
"Mama, let me eat one first, and then I'll wash my hands. "Brother Tuan is discussing.
Mama Fan is selfless with an iron face, "No, if you don't wash your hands, you can't eat." Do you know that you have a lot of invisible little insects in your hands, and if you don't wash them off, you will eat them in your stomach together? ”
Mama Fan even coaxed him to take him to wash, and Jiao Niang also explained to Wu Dan, "You have to take out my untouched silk and satin materials from the library and send them to the concubines of the palaces, the New Year is too busy, I forgot to send new clothes, let's tighten it up, don't treat them badly." Although those materials are not fashionable, they are all good, and many of them are tributes, and then bring words, just say that they will use their grievances first, and when the treasury is full, they will send them better ones. ”
