After three days of marriage, Yan Gui personally submitted a memorial requesting that the young master of the Yan family be conferred the title of Crown Prince.
No family would request to confer the title of Crown Prince to a child who was only a few days old so early, but Yan Gui and the old general both submitted memorials requesting that the young master of the Yan family be conferred the title of Crown Prince.
The prince of Yan held a full-moon banquet on the twelfth day of the lunar calendar. General Yan informed Yan Gui that he wanted to hold a grand banquet. Finally, the Yan family and the Su family negotiated and unanimously decided to hold a three-day banquet.
The road between Yan Mansion and Su Mansion was sealed off, and a wedding tent was set up. No matter who you are, whether you are a resident of the capital, a peddler, or a farmer outside the city, as long as you come, you can eat as much as you want.
For a moment, the alley between the Yan and Su mansions, where two carriages were running side by side and not crowded, was filled with noise and laughter. Soldiers were guarding the wedding tent, and everyone entered from the east in an orderly manner and left from the west after eating.
Table after table of dishes were served, eaten, and cleared away, and the next table started again. During the three-day banquet, no one caused trouble, and no accidents occurred.
The courtyard of the Yan Mansion was filled with high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
At the full moon banquet of Prince Yan, Emperor Zhao Xu personally brought the Empress Dowager to congratulate him and sat for a while. Then he received news from the palace that the Empress Dowager had also launched an action.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor hurried to the palace again to wait for the birth of the Zhao family's first child.
On the night of Prince Yan's full-month banquet, which was the sixth day of the second month of the fifth year of Jingtai, the Queen gave birth to the eldest princess.
Even if the royal family gives birth to a girl, it is still noble.
Empress Dowager Su and Emperor Zhao Xu were somewhat disappointed. After all, it was Zhao Xu's first child. After a little disappointment, they became calm again. Two concubines in the palace had already been pregnant, so the birth of the little prince was only a matter of time.
"Your Highness, please don't cry. You are still young, and you will definitely have princes in the future." As she spoke, the maid brought the eldest princess to her and said, "Your Highness, look, how beautiful the eldest princess is."
The queen looked at her little daughter and felt so sad. Why didn't she have such a good fate as Weiyang? Weiyang and she got pregnant one after the other, but she gave birth to a boy while she gave birth to a girl.
It would be great if the son she gave birth to could be exchanged with the son born by the ninth aunt. If two concubines in the palace were pregnant, as long as one of them gave birth to a prince, the prince would be the eldest prince.
Yan Gui doesn't even have a concubine in his mansion, so what does it matter if she gives birth to a son earlier or later
"Chunqiao, what do you think about giving the general's mansion two maids as a reward?"
Chunqiao gently placed the eldest princess in the cradle and said without raising her head, "Madam, is the general's mansion still short of maids?"
After saying that, he was startled: "My lady, what are you saying?"
The queen reached out and shook the eldest princess in the cradle: "Give two maids to the Yan family to continue the family line, what do you think?"
"Your Highness, no." Chunqiao glanced outside, walked closer to the Queen, squatted down, and whispered, "When General Yan went to Liuzhou, the Queen Mother picked two maids from the palace, one named Jixiang and the other Ruyi. I heard that they were both married to General Yan in Liuzhou."
"Has General Yan accepted it?"
"I haven't heard of it." Chunqiao thought for a while: "The Yan family has not taken concubines for several generations. The men in the Yan family are very affectionate."
"infatuation?"
The Queen smiled softly: "There are not so many infatuated people in the world, it's just that there are not enough temptations."
She once believed that there was a beautiful life in this world where two people lived together for a lifetime. But now, she only believed in herself, and living, living better than others, was what she wanted to pursue.
