Empress Zhou walked out of the dormitory after a simple freshening up, and was looking at a bottle of white plum sent by the imperial garden, when she saw Yuan Zhi walking in from outside.

He was in high spirits, as if something good had happened.

Empress Zhou ordered someone to set up a meal, and at the same time stepped forward to untie his cloak for him, "The emperor will not rest for the New Year, and he will discuss with the courtiers." Could it be that what kind of happy event is the emperor so happy? ”

"Where's Chen'er?"

"Just now, the concubine read to him, and he fell asleep."

"It's a happy event, I'll tell you slowly."

Yuanzhi took Empress Zhou's hand and sat down, "I think that Chen'er is the eldest son, and his birth should be a major event celebrated by the whole world, so I must do something to let everyone in the world know that I love him." ”

"Your Majesty, please consider this matter."

Queen Zhou did not show joy, but said: "The concubine thinks that Chen'er is young, and the knighthood not only violates the ancestral system, but he can't afford it." The emperor was naturally happy when he loved his concubines, but he ......"

Yuan Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, "I haven't finished talking yet, what are you anxious about?" ”

Queen Zhou was stunned for a moment, only to know that she was not knighted.

Yuan Zhi said: "I originally wanted to give Chen'er grace, and it is always okay to be crowned a county king first, but Uncle Wang and Uncle Wang have refuted me, and their reasons are similar to yours." Later, my uncle came up with an idea, and I thought it was very good, not only to accumulate virtue and blessings for Chen'er, but also to let the world know how much I loved him. ”

"What's the idea?"

"For the land of the northwest conquest, it shall be exempted from taxes for two years, so that the people can rest and recuperate...... In the name of Chen'er's birth. ”

Empress Zhou's eyes lit up when she heard this, and Yuan Zhi knew that she also liked the idea.

Sure enough, Queen Zhou smiled, "No wonder my uncle can be the first assistant at a young age, his idea is really clever." Your Majesty, when my uncle enters the palace in the future, if it is not for the time to discuss major affairs of the court, can I also talk to my uncle about the meeting? ”

Yuan Zhi was surprised, "What do you want to talk to your uncle?" ”

Empress Zhou was a little embarrassed, "Uncle is the Tanhua of the first emperor's dynasty, and now he is the first assistant of the dynasty." He was very knowledgeable and well-informed, and the concubines felt that they were too despicable and wanted to learn more from him. ”

Yuanji was stunned, suddenly remembered something, and immediately laughed.

Empress Zhou was inexplicably laughed at by him.

"What is the emperor laughing at?"

Yuanzhi held back for a while and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten how Chen'er was born?" You have to ask Mr. Ji a question, and the queen mother and I are also beside you, so this consultation becomes a discussion. I think it's just that the discussion is too excited, and Chen'er will come out at that time. ”

Queen Zhou was a little ashamed when she heard this, "Now Chen'er has been born and is in good health. The concubine just wants to learn more things while taking care of Chen'er, isn't the emperor allowed? ”

"Yes, I'm naturally accurate!"

Empress Zhou was so motivated to study, which was unexpected by Yuan Zhi, but when he was young, he saw that Su Youyi was like this, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with her still studying as a queen.

He said: "The next time my uncle enters the palace, I will let someone tell you in advance." There are also a few erudite and talented scholars in the court, and I also called you when I talked to them about books and classics. When Chen'er is older in the future, you will go to the East Fourth School with Chen'er to take classes, do you say okay? ”

These words were in response to Queen Zhou's thoughts, and she said happily: "Is it really possible?" ”

"Yes."

Yuanzhi said: "When I was studying in the East Fourth Institute, the queen mother often passed. But she came to give us a lesson, not to listen to it with us. If you study more, you may be stronger than the scholars at that time, and you will be able to teach the princes like the queen mother. ”

"How can a concubine be virtuous."

Empress Zhou said with a smile: "As long as the emperor is willing to learn more from his concubines, the concubines will be satisfied." ”

For a while, lunch came up, Yuan Zhi accompanied Queen Zhou for lunch, and it happened that the eldest prince woke up for a while, and the emperor and his wife held the child for a long time, as if they couldn't see enough.

……

A few days later, the cabinet decree was clearly issued, announcing that the emperor would be exempted from taxes in the northwest for two years due to the birth of the emperor's eldest son.

For a while, the people knew the news of the birth of the emperor's eldest son, and they were very shocked when they heard that the emperor's eldest son was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On such a good day as the first day of the Lunar New Year, only the eldest son of the emperor can suppress it.

Because of the birth of Queen Zhou, the Zhou Mansion is even more prosperous, and the door is about to be broken, everyone knows that after having this eldest son, Queen Zhou's status is completely untouchable.

When the Li family heard the news, they couldn't help but urge Concubine Li a few words in the letter sent to the palace, and implicitly asked her why her stomach didn't move, and whether she needed to get some home remedies or something for her.

When Concubine Li saw what was said in the family letter, she couldn't wait to tear the letter apart.

She can imagine the scene that the family said, and the list of the world was posted, and the emperor exempted the northwest from paying taxes for the eldest son, and the people in the northwest would be grateful to the eldest son.

And the Zhou family also because Queen Zhou gave birth to the eldest son, the status in the court is getting higher and higher, everyone in the capital is stammering with the Zhou family, who would have thought that Concubine Li entered the palace with Queen Zhou?

The Li family should look at the heat in their eyes.

But Concubine Li couldn't do anything.

Since Empress Zhou was pregnant, the emperor's heart was on her, and she only occasionally went to other concubines to spend the night.

Later, even the concubine was pregnant, and the ministers in the court proposed to choose a concubine again to enrich the harem, but the emperor refused.

and then Queen Zhou gave birth, the emperor loved the eldest son and everyone saw it, and he treated Queen Zhou more affectionately than before, and went to Yongshou Palace if there was nothing to do......

Concubine Li remembered that Queen Zhou's face after giving birth was not as bloated as a concubine, but exuded the gentle brilliance of motherhood.

This kind of brilliance adds three points of beauty to Queen Zhou's already beautiful appearance, making people more and more unable to take their eyes off.

Concubine Li couldn't help but rub the corners of her forehead.

Thinking that after she gave the golden collar handed down by her grandmother to the eldest prince a few days ago, the emperor's eyes were quite soft when he looked at her, and she thought about it, she should take this opportunity to do something.

"Yan'er."

"Hey."

Yan'er walked in from under the porch, only to hear Concubine Li say: "I saw that you drew good patterns a few days ago, so you can draw a few patterns for me in the style of those fat dolls on the palace lamp outside." ”

This is strange, didn't Concubine Li hate those fat dolls on the palace lamp the most, and said that Queen Zhou deliberately mocked her for being childless?

Why has he changed his tone now, and he still wants Yan'er to draw the patterns of those fat dolls?

"What do you want to do, the slave knows how big the painting is."

Concubine Li paused, "Embroider Du Dou, Du Dou for the eldest prince, you estimate the size, it's too big to fit, it's too small to be atmospheric." ”

Yan'er had a number in her heart, and said with her head bowed: "Yes, the slave and maid will go now." ”
