On the seventh day of the fourth month of the fourth year of Tianyou, the cold dew in the early morning was frightened to the ground in a burst of screams, and no one would have thought that Concubine Xu of Jinling Palace and Concubine Shen of Shulan Palace would give birth at the same time. All of a sudden, the hospital was in a hurry, and the harem was full of palace maids and eunuchs in a hurry. And the young emperor in the dragon robe was calmly looking at a man who was even calmer than him in the Dragon Blessing Hall at this time.

"National teacher, didn't you say that whoever of them gives birth to whose child first is the prince? Now that the two are producing at the same time, how do you explain it? Zong Zhenghao frowned, but he had a bit of imperial majesty.

Yi Chu, the national teacher who was named, sighed lightly and said: "Your Majesty, since God has made this arrangement, there must be a reason for him, you better wait for the good news." ”

For his remarks, Zong Zhenghao was angry, but he couldn't do anything to this kid, not to mention that he was a teacher of a country with extraordinary ability, just because he was the eldest disciple of the head of the first major sect of martial arts, Xuanji Pavilion, he didn't dare to do anything to him. Xuanji Pavilion is famous for its strange arts, the five elements of gossip, and their divination and prediction skills make them co-opted by other countries. Although this kid is not very old, his ability is not small, but the first emperor took a lot of effort to invite Yi Chu here, how could he be offended.

Just when Zong Zhenghao wanted to say a few more words to him, there was movement outside, and a little palace maid ran in, and said with a happy face: "Congratulations to the emperor, Concubine Shen Shu gave birth to a little princess safely." ”

"Yes, okay, hahaha," Hearing that Shen Shulan's mother and daughter were safe, Zong Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go to visit, when another palace maid stumbled in and excitedly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, great joy!" Xu Guifei gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins, a sign of auspiciousness! "What? Dragon and phoenix fetus, "Zong Zhenghao is good, the dragon and phoenix fetus is a good luck, this Xu Yingrong is really a blessing."

He subconsciously glanced at Yi Chu, but Yi Chu just lowered his head and didn't speak. Zong Zhenghao struggled inwardly, and finally decided to visit Xu Guifei first, after all, she gave birth to a prince. Looking at the back of the emperor and his party leaving, Meng Xia couldn't help but move his gaze to Shulan Palace in the distance, and sighed deeply.

Shulan Palace is located in the southeast of the palace, is the most elegant palace in the harem, and the name of the palace is also written by Zong Zhenghao himself, named after the concubine's boudoir, this honor is still only Shen Shulan alone.

At this time, the hall was groggy, and the fragrance of five silk wafting out of the golden silk incense burner still couldn't hide the faint smell of blood. Concubine Shen Shufei, who had just given birth, was lying on her side on the bed, her delicate face was slightly pale, and the pink and tender little doll in the shaking bed next to her was her daughter who had worked so hard to give birth. There was a palace maid in white clothes and green skirts standing next to the bed, and she was complaining to Concubine Shu with an unhappy face: "Didn't Concubine Xu give birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, what's the big deal?" ”

"Qiaoxiang, don't talk nonsense, the concubine has a dragon and phoenix fetus, we should be happy for her." In contrast, Shen Shulan's face was indifferent, and her tone was quite calm, perhaps she was a first-time mother, and her body exuded a faint maternal atmosphere.

"Niangniang, the slave is not worth it for you, you have just given birth, but the emperor went to Xu Guifei, he ······"

"Shut up, dead girl, what nonsense are you talking about in front of your mother", followed by an old woman in a dark blue skirt, she is Shen Shulan's nurse, who followed Shen Shulan after entering the palace, and was also her right-hand man.

As soon as "Mother Zhao" saw her come in, Qiaoxiang immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything more, "Don't hurry up and ask Niangniang for guilt", Mother Zhao scolded her angrily.

"Forget it, Qiaoxiang, you go down first." Shen Shulan was a little tired, and waved her hand to let her go down.

"Niangniang, this girl can't get used to it", "Alas, you don't know her temperament". Mother Zhao knew that she couldn't be persuaded, so she didn't say anything, seeing that her expression was not very good, she thought of something later, and immediately said, "Niangniang, don't listen to that girl's nonsense, the emperor is just a ······"

"It's okay, Mother Zhao", knowing that she wanted to comfort herself, Shen Shulan smiled and said, "I don't care, now that I have my daughter, I won't be alone, I just want to raise her well now and make her happy." Shen Shulan is also telling the truth, she has never asked for the emperor's love, although since she entered the palace, the emperor has been very fond of her, but she has never dared to accept this love, because if she has it, she will be afraid of losing. Now that she has a child, she doesn't care anymore, as long as her daughter is safe and sound, as for the emperor, he spoils her, she will bear it, and she will not force it.

Mother Zhao saw that her master was so unscrupulous, and she was also anxious, but she was helpless, Shen Shulan was so temperamental and unwilling to fight. However, God treats her well, because she does not fight or grab, the emperor loves her very much, so that she has been favored so far, and her status in the harem is quite high, and she can compete with Xu Guifei.

"Mother Zhao, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while." After she finished speaking, she lay down, and Zhao's mother was about to cover her with a quilt, when there was a commotion outside. "The emperor has arrived!" As soon as they heard this, the master and servant were stunned, why did the emperor come here at this time, and before he could react, the emperor hurriedly walked in.

"See ······ for concubines" Shen Shulan was just about to get out of bed and salute, when Zong Zhenghao had already rushed up with an arrow and hurriedly held her down. "Concubine Ai has just given birth, so don't move around." Zong Zhenghao's tone was very soft, and his eyes were full of love.

"Concubine, thank you to the emperor." , Shen Shulan slowly lay down, looking at the young and handsome emperor in front of her, the corners of her mouth gradually rose, fortunately, the emperor still has her in his heart, and this is enough.

"Your Majesty, this is our daughter, take a look." At her signal, Mother Zhao hugged the little doll in the cradle to Zong Zhenghao. "Come, I'm here to see my precious daughter." Zong Zhenghao carefully took the little girl in her hand, when he saw the little girl in the swaddling clothes, his heart softened, this is the daughter born to him by his beloved woman, he will definitely love it well.

"Lan'er, thank you for your hard work." Zong Zhenghao suddenly stepped forward and pressed a kiss between her eyebrows, his eyes overflowing with tenderness. "Your Majesty." Shen Shulan lowered her head shyly, the emperor always likes to kiss her from time to time, regardless of whether there is anyone next to her, although she has been used to it in the past few years, she will still be shy.

"Hahaha。。。。。。" Zong Zhenghao is in a good mood, and he likes to see her shy. He does not deny that Shen Shulan is the only woman he has put in his heart after he ascended the throne, although he knows that as an emperor, he can't favor one person, but he will do his best to love this woman and protect their mother and daughter. Thinking of this, he lowered his head and kissed his daughter's little pink fist again.

"Hey, Lan'er, take a look, is there something in her hand", Zong Zhenghao saw that she seemed to be holding something in her hand, and hurriedly sent it to Shen Shulan and asked her to see, Shen Shulan looked down, there was indeed something in her hand, the little guy was sleeping, she could only get her hand away little by little, suddenly, everyone saw a beam of golden light, and looked at it, it turned out that she was holding a piece of jade in her hand, which was exuding dazzling light at this time.

"Oh my God, this is ······" Everyone was surprised, "Ah, the little princess was born with a jade in her hand." Qiaoxiang shouted excitedly, did this indicate something.

Zong Zhenghao was also amazed, and his eyes were full of exploration when he looked at his daughter, and said, "It seems that my daughter will be unspeakably expensive in the future!" ”

"Hehe, they are already the princesses of Beicang, where can they be more noble, don't think about it, the emperor." Although Shen Shulan was calm on her lips, her heart was already turbulent, and she had a premonition that her daughter would be unspeakably expensive in the future, but she couldn't say it. In this palace, whoever has the appearance of a nobleman has no noble life, and she must hide her light before her daughter is able to protect herself.

"She will not only be a princess, but she will also be my favorite princess." Zong Zhenghao's eyes were very firm when he looked at his little daughter, as if he was promising something. Shen Shulan smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't named the little princess yet." ”

"That's right, my daughter is so beautiful, and she was born with jade in her hand, what should she choose? Our daughter was born with a jade in her hand, which just happened to be the one who held Yu Huaijin. And Concubine Xu's daughter just has a single jade character, and Yu Jiexuan is like jade. Our daughter will take a corresponding one, but the girl's name Jin is not good, it is better to take the word brocade, just like the flowers, how about it? "Blooming? Zong Zhengjin is really a good name. Shen Shulan loved this name very much, looking at her little daughter who was sleeping peacefully, she secretly swore in her heart that she must protect her well and make her Ah Jin the most noble princess.

The next day, the emperor issued an edict, and Jin named Xu Guifei as the imperial concubine and Shen Shufei as Shen Guifei. Although the queen was not canonized, everyone knows that the imperial concubine gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and the power of the Xu family in the imperial court is so large, sooner or later the eldest son of the emperor will be appointed as the crown prince, so the former dynasty and the harem are all based on the Xu family.

At this time, Shulan Palace was much more deserted than Jinling Palace. "Niangniang, now that she has become the imperial concubine and has the eldest son of the emperor, we will definitely not have a good time in the future." Qiaoxiang has been complaining since the morning, she doesn't like her master to fight like this.

"If we don't provoke her, how can she come to our trouble?" Shen Shulan teased her daughter in her arms, not caring about Qiaoxiang's words at all, she just needs to protect her daughter. Qiaoxiang looked like she hated iron but not steel, turned around and walked out, her eyes were full of unwillingness, since the master in front of her couldn't help her, then she had to find another way.

Not long after Qiaoxiang went out, a palace maid came to report, saying that the Wang Si system was coming, and Shen Shulan immediately announced that she had entered the palace.

"The slave maid visits the concubine Niangniang, and I wish the Niangniang a long and peaceful life." A female officer who looked to be in her thirties respectfully half-knelt in front of her.

"The royal system is exempt." "Thank you, mother." ”

"I have heard for a long time that the master is ingenious, and the jewelry you make is unmatched, so this palace wants you to help me build a golden hairpin and inlay this jade on it", Su Shulan took out the jade, and Wang Si took it.

For the little princess to be born with a jade in her hand, Shulan Palace did not spread it to the outside world, so Wang Si thought that this was a reward from the emperor to the concubine, and after taking a serious look, he promised: "Please rest assured, the slave will definitely create a perfect golden hairpin." "Then there's the labor system." Su Shulan waved her hand, and Wang Si retreated.

Five days later, Wang Si sent a brocade box, opened to see, it is indeed a beautiful peony golden hairpin, the jade perfect fit in the heart of the flower, placed in the sun, it will be golden, it is really a priceless treasure.

Su Shulan smiled at the daughter in her arms and said: "Ah Jin, since this is a golden hairpin specially created for you, it will be named Jin Hairpin, except for you, no one is worthy of it." The little princess seemed to understand her mother's words and grinned.

That night, Qiao Xiang walked out of Shulan Palace and went straight to Jinling Palace, and only came out with a smile on her face at the end of the child······
