In the fourth year of Zhengde, the emperor's two princes were already able to walk, and Zhu Houzhao was very worried about something like an untimely death, so he had no trouble talking about the doctor.

Since then, no harem concubine has given birth to a son and a half daughter.

The main thing is that the people who entered the palace like Queen Xia and Concubine Shu are very young, even now, they are sixteen or seventeen-year-old children. In the second year of Zhengde, Huaixiao and Huaiyan gave birth to a child that shocked him into a cold sweat, so he didn't want them to give birth at a very young age.

Anyway, they don't know the concept of ovulation, Zhu Houzhao knows, and will deliberately avoid it, anyway, there will be no problem if they don't go for a while.

He didn't despise Empress Xia even more because of the matter of his heirs.

Now the child is still young, and the atmosphere in the palace is not bad.

Of course, Meifu is because the two princes became expensive all of a sudden, rich and expensive are two concepts, Meifu was only rich before, but now it is expensive.

In October of the second year of Zhengde, Mei Kejia changed and was named Pinghaibo.

Later, during the three-year court meeting of Zhengde, the imperial court adjusted some of the institutions of the imperial court. The main reason is that the Shaofu Order was separated from the household department and became independent into the 'seventh department'.

The Ordnance Bureau is no longer subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, but is split into two, divided into the Northern Ordnance Bureau and the Southern Ordnance Bureau. The Northern Ordnance Bureau is in Beijing, and the Southern Ordnance Bureau is in Yingtian.

The original craftsmen were retained, and a part of it was diverted to Oten.

But this reservation, which is only the name of the Ordnance Bureau, has actually completely changed internally, and now it has been restructured by analogy with a shipyard.

Zhu Houzhao is sober-minded at this point, he put two bureau chiefs, these are the officials of the imperial court, and the following are the things of factories and craftsmen.

According to the principle of mutual competition, the imperial court would give the Northern and Southern Ordnance Bureaus the task of manufacturing firearms. After that, it's up to who's capable.

The director of the Northern Ordnance Bureau was Gongsun Bei, director of the Yu Hengqing Officials Department of the former Ministry of Industry. In Yingtian's Southern Ordnance Bureau, it was managed by Ping Haibo.

These two decrees will be out for a year, and Zhu Houzhao has not had time to take a look at them separately, and there is no shadow of the main matter of going to Jiangnan.

But judging from the reports below, Ping Haibo has already introduced Yiren artillery and will be installed on the ship, but unfortunately the time is still short, and the specific power is not yet known.

Mei Kejia was born as a merchant, and it should not be a big problem for him to run a company-like Southern Ordnance Bureau.

People's desires are growing, and what he wants now is to take down Pinghaibo's plaque and replace it with Pinghaihou.

Mei Kejia's only son, Mei Huaigu, is also like a pie in the sky, from the son of a merchant to the emperor's brother-in-law and the son of Pinghai Bofu.

But he, the son of Pinghaibo, took a person brought back by his father in the house...... No way.

In the afternoon of this day,

Three strange men with dark skin and straw hats knocked on the door of Pinghaibo Mansion.

The gatekeepers saw that they were strangely dressed, and they didn't want to let them in.

But I didn't expect the man in front of me to blurt out a name,

"Brother Tai, is there a woman named Meng Ying in your mansion?"

This person is not surnamed Mei, nor is he a concubine raised by Ping Haibo, at first he thought it was a friend, but later Ping Haibo went to Hangzhou, and this woman still lives in the house.

Everyone in the house knows about this strange person.

The butler didn't expect anyone outside to know.

"Who are you?"

"Down there is her father. Fatigue report. Brother Tai doesn't have to be entangled, please ask her to come out and take a look, and we will wait here. ”

Syllable!

"Wait!"

The housekeeper closed the door, put down such a sentence, and then hurriedly ran to report to Mei Huaigu.

……

……

"Is it Ximai?"

"Back to Your Majesty. It is indeed a happy pulse. "Doctor Tan said it simply.

Zhu Houzhao glanced up at Concubine Shu and saw that she was a little shy, but she still pursed her lips and smiled.

"I'm tired of talking about the doctor's prescription for prescribing some ways to raise the fetus."

"Yes."

Talking about the doctor going to write,

Zhu Houzhao went to help Concubine Shu to lie down and said, "I am pregnant in October, and I have to work hard for the child for a while." In the future, what you eat and use must follow the instructions of Dr. Tan, and if you can't do it, you can often go to Yongshou Palace. ”

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

"This is a big deal, can you repay the queen mother?"

Queen Xia said on the side: "Someone has gone, and the queen mother is especially happy to hear it." ”

"Hmm."

Royal, you don't have to worry about pregnancy, raising a baby, or taking a baby, Zhu Houzhao only needs to appease Concubine Shu's emotions.

So tonight, he came over and stayed overnight.

Concubine Shu is also guilty,

"If a concubine is pregnant, she will not be able to serve Your Majesty."

"Don't get in the way, I also knew that I had to be temperate in the first three months."

"Three months later......" Concubine Shu raised her head, revealing her white and smooth fragrant shoulders, "The concubine didn't dare either." Besides, Sister Queen is also in a hurry. Concubine Xian and Concubine Shun, if there is no movement in the stomach for a day, you will not be able to feel at ease for a day. ”

"Oh......"

Thinking like this, Queen Xia's psychological pressure should be not small.

"Your Majesty is willing to come to accompany the concubine, and the concubine is very moved. But like tonight, a few sisters must have eaten sour. ”

"I see." Zhu Houzhao stroked her back, "I am very pleased that you can think of each other like this." As for having a baby, sooner or later. I'm not the kind of man who stares at his stomach for movement. ”

He felt that the situation of Concubine Shu's birth might be better, because the buttocks... Relatively plump.

This was rare in the female body in ancient times.

And her waist is also relatively slender, so she was the first to get pregnant. When the lights are turned off, everything else is the same, but the figure will still be different, and sometimes it is inevitable that you can't hold it.

Of course, this is his own blind imagination, probably because of his physique.

Next.

After the incident, Zhu Houzhao took a few boxes of snacks to Kunning Palace.

He didn't make people move, and when he sneaked into the palace, he saw the beautiful Queen Xia combing her hair bitterly in front of the bronze mirror, and she was obviously in a daze, and even the maid on the side was shocked when she saw Zhu Houzhao, she didn't find it.

"Shh

Zhu Houzhao put his index finger on his mouth, and at the same time stretched out his hand. The palace maid understood and walked out lightly.

"Hey."

Queen Xia sighed to herself.

"Yue'er, you sent someone to the Qianqing Palace to take a look, and how many officials are waiting in the attendant's room?"

"What's the matter with Ya'er looking for me?"

"Ahh Queen Xia was startled by the sudden voice, she hurriedly got up, and was about to salute in a panic,

"Concubine...... The concubine hasn't greeted ...... yet."

"Alright. Get up. ”

Zhu Houzhao took her hand and dragged such a soft body into his arms, "Between husband and wife, don't care so much." ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Don't be shy, everyone is out."

"But it's still daylight."

"It's not daylight, I will make the queen happy as soon as possible."

Probably because her thoughts were explained thoroughly, Queen Xia blushed a little, and the relationship between them is much better now, not as official as before, "Concubine...... I just think that Zai Yan and Zai Yan are so cute. ”

"Aren't you afraid to have a baby?"

"With Your Majesty, the concubines are not afraid of anything."

The women in the palace were stronger than one another, like a virtuous concubine, and knew that the two nobles had a body after drinking, so they prepared wine every time the emperor went.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know once or twice, but if there were more times, he would find that it was deliberate.

……

……

At this time in the Qianqing Palace, Mei Huaigu came in with someone handing a note, but he didn't find the emperor.

"It's not a coincidence today, it's still early, and Your Majesty is gone."

In the attendant's room, Jin Gui came out and said, "If it's something important, it's better to wait." As for Your Majesty...... Originally, it was also a happy event, and the son of the world would also know about it. ”

"What's the matter?" Mei Huaigu really didn't know.

"The concubine is happy. Otherwise, how could His Majesty not be there? ”

"Will Your Majesty still come?"

"Is it really important?"

"Hmm!" Mei Huaigu thought to herself that it was not my sister anyway, and nodded resolutely.

Jin Gui thought about it, this is difficult to do. It's not good to disturb the emperor and delay things, and after weighing left and right, he still feels that he has to report, but he can't go to the harem, so he can only ask the internal officials to find Gonggong Liu, and then let Gonggong Liu go and talk to His Majesty.

"Wait a minute."

Mei Huaigu nodded, and then led Meng Ying and her father into the house, "Follow me, don't look around, walk around." ”
