After Zhao Tingshan and the Liu family settled down, Zhao Siyan personally posted a post inviting the ladies and daughters of Shangjing to be guests at the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion.

Everyone knows that this is the crown princess supporting her mother's family, and the people who received the post said that they would go to the banquet.

Zhao Siyan also personally attended the banquet to support her mother, but she was pregnant, and Li Junze took her away halfway through the banquet.

Looking at the back of the crown prince leaving with the crown princess, all the ladies suddenly knew in their hearts.

The Zhao family took root in Shangjing.

As for whether the Liu family can expand their contacts in the future, Zhao Siyan does not plan to interfere.

Above the court, Li Junze began to make a move, he originally planned to improve the status of military generals, and the idea of balancing Wenchen slowly began to be implemented.

First of all, it is necessary to raise the remuneration and remuneration of military generals, and also to increase the bereavement pensions for the families of soldiers who died in battle. Li Junze knew that this matter was not achieved overnight, so he planned to proceed slowly. However, he thought that the progress was already very slow, but it still caused an uproar in the court.

Li Junze experienced the feeling of being targeted by the public, and this time even Gu Shoufu was no longer standing by his side.

So Li Junze was very busy during this time, anxious, and was sprayed with dog blood on the court. Zhao Tingshan felt sorry for his son-in-law, but fighting with words has never been Zhao Tingshan's strong point, and he was also sprayed with blood.

Yi Kangdi actually agreed with Li Junze's opinion in his heart, and felt that if the banner continued like this, it would be very unfavorable to the dynasty. But he didn't expect that the reaction of the Manchu Dynasty would be so great, and he couldn't help but retreat a little.

So Li Junze faced the storm alone.

Originally, Li Junze was the prince, and he was also the only son of Emperor Yi Kang, and the ministers always had to give the future master some face.

But this time is different, the emperor's harem is full, and Han Qing is pregnant, if he gives birth to a dragon son, Emperor Yikang's body is still very healthy now, maybe he can wait for the child to grow up, and then the position of the prince may change.

Therefore, the ministers also had a little less scruples, and their minds were also lively, especially the Han family. Han Mingyuan has been very active recently, and he has joined forces with Luo Beishao's ministers who are dissatisfied with Li Junze, and began to attack Li Junze.

Li Junze suffered from the enemy on his back.

No matter how difficult Li Junze was outside, he didn't show it in front of Zhao Siyan, because Zhao Siyan was about to give birth.

Zhao Siyan and Han Qing were found to be pregnant almost at the same time, but the two generations were separated by a generation, and the people were quite looking forward to their children.

Han Qing has great hopes for this child, and since she was pregnant, she has said that she loves to eat sour, and she doesn't touch it spicy, and everyone knows her purpose.

Zhao Siyan is not worried about this, after all, she has a son.

Although it was Zhao Siyan who was first found to be pregnant, it was Han Qing who was the first to launch.

As soon as Han Qing's stomach hurt, the palace maid in her palace invited Yi Kangdi and the entire imperial hospital, but it was only the imperial doctor from the side branch of the Han family who went to deliver Han Qing.

Han Qing called in the palace for a long time, and Emperor Yi Kang sat outside the palace, disturbed by listening.

"How long will this take?" Yi Kangdi asked.

Several imperial doctors glanced at each other, this woman gave birth far from so fast, and it must be painful before she began to give birth. But Han Qing invited the emperor so early, and the purpose is well known, and no one can tell the truth to the emperor at this time.

One of the imperial doctors pondered for a moment and then said, "This woman is indeed having some trouble giving birth, some of it takes a little faster, and some of it may be a little slower. ”

Yi Kangdi frowned: "When Empress De gave birth to the crown prince, she didn't toss like this. ”

Empress De said that she was naturally Li Junze's biological mother, although she passed away, she was still posthumously named queen.

All the imperial doctors were silent.

Han Qing tossed for two hours, and the tossing Yi Kangdi ran out of patience, and the queen and Jiang Xuefu also came.

Jiang Xuefu said: "I heard that Sister Qing gave birth, and the queen and I were very worried, so I came to visit." ”

Yi Kandi nodded, "It's hard for you to have a heart." ”

The queen simply asked the imperial doctor a few words, and then said to Emperor Yi Kang with a smile: "Your Majesty, you still have state affairs to deal with in the previous dynasty, if you can trust the concubine, the concubine's sister will be handed over to the concubine here." After all, it is not convenient for the emperor to give birth to this woman. ”

Yi Kangdi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and no longer hesitated at the moment: "Okay, I'll leave first, and I'll leave it to the queen here, the queen is here, I don't have anything to worry about!" ”

Yi Kangdi immediately turned around and left.

The queen mother glanced at the imperial doctors, "I also ask you to use your housekeeping skills to deliver the baby well." ”

Naturally, the imperial doctors said yes.

At this time, Jiang Xuefu said: "Concubine Qing gave birth, I'm afraid the princess is also fast, right?" ”

The queen's expression suddenly froze, nodded, and immediately turned her head to the imperial doctor and said, "Imperial Doctor Tan, Imperial Doctor Fang, you two stay, and the others quickly return to the Imperial Hospital!" ”

All the imperial doctors glanced at each other, and they all nodded yes. Doctor Tan and Doctor Fang, one is good at orthopedics, and the other is good at surgery.

The queen ordered someone to prepare ginger soup, and after the palace maid was turned around, she sat down and chatted with Jiang Xuefu while drinking tea.

Coincidentally, not far after Yi Kangdi left, there was a cry of a baby from the palace, and the queen and Jiang Xuefu suddenly stood up.

The two of them glanced at each other, both with some nervousness in their eyes.

For a long time, the people inside did not come out, and soon, Han Qing's personal palace maid ran out, but she didn't see the emperor, and her face suddenly changed.

The queen took a step forward: "Did Concubine Qing give birth to a man or a girl?" ”

The palace maid's expression couldn't help but be a little arrogant and proud, and she said reservedly: "Our mother has just given birth to a little prince!" ”

Hearing that it was the prince, the expressions of the queen and Jiang Xuefu changed, and the two glanced at each other, and they both suppressed the thoughts in their hearts.

"Then the palace will go and report the good news to the emperor." The queen mother said, and glanced at the palace maids who were waiting: "Serve the Qing concubine and the little prince well, if there is a little difference, this palace will not spare it!" ”

The queen and Jiang Xuefu left.

Han Qing was lying in the room, his eyes looking upward, a little stunned.

The palace maid walked in, she turned her head, "What about the emperor?" ”

The palace maid showed a look of embarrassment on her face, and then said, "This, the emperor is busy with official business and has gone back to deal with official business." ”

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Han Qing's mouth.

Han Qing turned his head and looked at the child beside him.

The little prince lying beside her was whimpering and crying, his voice was as small as a cat's meow, and he was extremely thin.

Han Qing patted the child gently, and a complicated color flashed in his eyes: "Fortunately, my mother has you now, and my mother's future glory and wealth are all counting on you, and it is not in vain that my mother has suffered so many sins in order to give birth to you." ”

As she spoke, she hugged the child tightly.

She can see that no man's love is reliable, and it is not as important as her son.

Yi Kangdi was also very happy when he heard that it was a son, no one would think that he had many sons these days, and he couldn't afford to raise them.

Yi Kangdi gave Han Qing a lot of rewards, and Han Qing, who gave birth to a son, suddenly became hot again.

Han Qing's children were all born, but Zhao Siyan did not move here, delaying the delivery date predicted by the imperial doctor again and again, so that everyone was frightened several times.

Recently, the Liu family has been living in the Prince's Mansion to take care of Zhao Siyan, and when she heard the news, she was still a little worried, worried about whether Zhao Siyan would be under pressure.

But after two days, she found that Zhao Siyan should eat and drink, her expression was calm, and she didn't look worried at all, and Liu Shi realized that she was the only one who was worried.

Yi Kangdi attaches great importance to this child, and he has been full of spring these days, and because of the birth of this child, the ministers' opposition to Li Junze's reform has become more determined.

"You have such a temperament, I don't know who you are following, but you can calm down." Liu said, sighing a little: "I heard that the emperor loves this little prince very much, I don't know if it will affect ......."

Liu glanced at Zhao Siyan without saying anything.

Before Zhao Siyan could speak, the little maid who inquired about Bao Lu Lotus had already spoken: "Don't worry, madam, what about the prince?" The slave maid heard that this little prince's health is not very good! ”

Zhao Siyan was stunned for a moment, and frowned faintly.

Liu's eyes lit up: "Not well? How so? How could such a young child, born in the royal family, be in poor health? ”

The corners of Lu He's mouth showed a mocking smile, and then said: "I heard that Concubine Qing didn't know what method she used, she gave birth ahead of schedule, and the little prince was born less than a month, so her body was naturally weak." I heard that this was born only a few days ago, and the imperial doctor was called every day, and the Qing Concubine had to hide it, only saying that she was not in good health, but in fact, it was spread all over the palace. ”

When Zhao Siyan heard this, he didn't know what to say, this Han Qing also had a bit of aura before, why is he always stupid now?

Liu sighed: "She's competing with you, but what did the poor child do wrong?" ”

"Isn't it!" Lu He continued: "Not only the little prince, I heard that Concubine Qing Niangniang was also injured, and she was extremely afraid of cold, and the house was full of braziers, and the emperor went to visit her several times, but she was all heated. ”

In the end, the little maid couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhao Siyan found out that she was pregnant one step earlier than Han Qing, and she was out of the limelight, and now Han Qing wants to overpower Zhao Siyan, so it is natural for him to want to give birth first.

It's just that Han Qing didn't expect that she received the news that Zhao Siyan was about to give birth, and she couldn't wait to take the lead, but Zhao Siyan didn't move.

Han Qing didn't expect that she took the risk of giving birth to a child early, not to mention hurting her body, but Zhao Siyan gave birth late?

Liu also sighed helplessly.

"Mother." Zhao Siyan said calmly: "Don't sigh, I seem to be about to give birth." ”

Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, she looked at Zhao Siyan's restrained and calm face, her eyes didn't blink, where did it look like she was going to give birth?

But soon, Liu shouted: "Go and ask for a doctor!" Midwife! Prepare for the delivery room! ”

Zhao Siyan was very calm, he still went to the delivery room by himself, and then ordered someone to make a bowl of noodles to eat, and then quietly waited for the start.

Zhao Siyan gave birth to a child very smoothly, as soon as it was launched, the child was born, Li Junze received the news, and hurried back to the prince's mansion, Zhao Siyan gave birth to all the children.

This time, as Zhao Siyan wished, she gave birth to a daughter.

The Liu family was a little disappointed in his heart, people like them naturally have as many children as possible, especially Li Junze is not sure about taking a concubine, only Xiaobao is a little thin.

But......

Liu looked at Li Junze holding his daughter and smirking, and suddenly felt that his worries were completely unnecessary, and her son-in-law didn't mind that this was a daughter at all.

Li Junze took the child to show Zhao Siyan, "Yanyan, how cute and cute she is, how much she looks like you?" ”

Zhao Siyan looked at her wrinkled little daughter, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she refused to admit that she looked like her.

Newborn children are not good-looking, Xiaobao is like this, her daughter is not good-looking, Zhao Siyan is not worried, she and Li Junze's children cannot be ugly. But she can't boast of her conscience that her current daughter is good-looking.

Li Junze hugged his daughter and couldn't put it down.

Zhao Siyan reminded him: "Don't ignore Xiaobao. ”

On weekdays, when he gets home, he will go to play with Xiaobao for a while, but today he only cares about his daughter.

Li Junze nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I haven't gone to play with Xiaobao today." With that, he handed over his daughter to the Liu family, "Mother, I'll go to see Xiaobao, so please take care of her first." ”

Liu's face was helpless.

Soon, Li Junze also hugged Xiaobao and said to Zhao Siyan: "I'm afraid that you will be alone, and our father and son will accompany you." ”

Zhao Siyan's eyes moved, and a slight smile appeared.

The child was just born, and he didn't take a big name, so he first took a small name. Li Junze named his and Zhao Siyan's daughter Yu'er.

Zhao Siyan understands that Li Junze's name is very straightforward.

Xiaobao didn't say anything, Yu'er's name was very simple, he said that his daughter was as precious as a pearl and jade.

Zhao Siyan found it hard to believe that this was the name taken by Li Junze, who was a rich five-car student.

Yu'er was born, and Zhao Siyan and Li Junze discussed an issue very seriously. You can't ignore Xiaobao just because you have a daughter.

Because Zhao Siyan knew that Li Junze had always wanted to have a daughter, it seemed that she didn't want Xiaobao to lose her father's love because of her daughter.

Li Junze felt that what Zhao Siyan said made sense, so no matter how much Li Junze loved Yu'er, when he went home every day, he would still hug Xiaobao first and tease him for a while before he would hug Yu'er.

So even if a younger sister is born, little Xiaobao doesn't feel any difference, and the good-looking man will still go home and hug him first.

Yu'er didn't know how much her parents worried about her and her brother.

Yu'er is a worry-free child, more well-behaved than her brother. Originally, Xiaobao didn't cry or make trouble when he was born, but Yu'er was even better.

Yu'er's favorite thing to do is to sleep, she spends a lot of time sleeping, and when she wakes up, she looks at people with a pair of big watery eyes. When he was hungry, he let out a kitten-like cry to remind the nurse and the maid.

And she is a very easy-going child, who can hold anyone, which is different from Xiaobao.

According to Li Junze's words, Xiaobao is a jing, except for people he is familiar with hugging him, he doesn't cry or make trouble, change to an unfamiliar maid hug, and the little ancestor can be so bitter that people can turn over on their backs. The only exception is Yi Kangdi.

Later, Yi Kangdi became even more proud after knowing this.

But Yu'er is not, Yu'er is really good-tempered, no matter who holds her, she is quiet, as long as someone hugs her.

Because of this incident, Li Junze was always worried that his daughter would be easy to be deceived in the future.

Han Qing heard that Zhao Siyan gave birth to a daughter, and she was very happy in her heart, and always felt that she had overpowered Zhao Siyan, but she forgot that Zhao Siyan already had a son.

This did not prevent Han Qing from being happy and proud.

The Han family has also become more popular because of the birth of the little prince, and Han Mingyuan took the opportunity to gather a lot of ministers.

Gu Chenfeng came to meet Li Junze, and by the way, he also came to visit the little county lord.

Unlike Li Junze's blatant preference, Gu Chenfeng treats Xiaobao and Yu'er equally, and both children like it very much.

Zhao Siyan didn't see Gu Chenfeng during confinement, but just asked the nurse to take the child out to meet him.

Gu Chenfeng hugged Yu'er and went to tease Xiaobao again, with a loving expression on his face.

"The emperor's eldest grandson has grown up a lot, and he is getting more and more handsome. The small lord is pretty tight, too. ”

Li Junze poured him a cup of tea, and then said: "If you like children, you can also become your own as soon as possible, anyway, you are in the Hanlin Academy first, and you won't have such a good idle life after a few years." ”

Gu Chenfeng was arranged to be an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and at that time, everyone thought that the Gu family was too low-key, but later they realized that one of the most important errands of the editing of the Hanlin Academy was to help the emperor draft a holy decree, or one day the emperor felt puzzled when he was studying, so he announced the editing of the Hanlin Academy to discuss. The real close ministers of the Son of Heaven can get first-hand news from the emperor's side.

Emperor Yi Kang was very tolerant of his former ministers who had followed him in the shallows before, so he often brought Gu Chenfeng into the palace to speak.

Therefore, Gu Chenfeng is now a hot figure, and many ministers want to marry their daughters to him.

It's just a pity that Gu Chenfeng had no intention of getting married, and Gu Shoufu had no choice but to come to the prince as a lobbyist.

Gu Chenfeng said helplessly: "The prince can spare me, my uncle at home is talking about me every day." ”

After a pause, he said solemnly: "I don't want to marry now, if I marry in desperation, it will only delay other girls." ”

Regarding this matter, Li Junze was not good at persuading, so he sighed and didn't say more.

Gu Chenfeng said: "But the prince, about the reform, please ask the prince to think twice." I heard that Han Mingyuan has recently collected a lot of ministers, and Concubine Qing gave birth to a prince, and the Han family's thoughts are not small. ”

Li Junze raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood the deep meaning of his words.

"A little milk baby, it's a shame that Han Mingyuan can plan things so far." As he spoke, he smiled mockingly.

With Li Junze's pride, it is naturally impossible to look at a baby in his eyes, and this child is still only as old as his daughter. To be honest, it was hard for him to understand why Han Mingyuan started jumping up and down now, and why did he think he could compete with him?
