The capital, the imperial palace, and the Zichen Palace.
The emperor of Dachu sat on the imperial case and read a secret book, which was sent back from Tongcheng in a hurry.
Eunuch Liu, the chief eunuch in charge of the palace, took the hot tea from the maid and brought it to the imperial court, and removed the cold tea from the table. All the movements were light and soundless, and the palace people stood quietly by the side without looking sideways. Suddenly, Eunuch Liu was surprised to find that Emperor Chongde, who had always been calm, wise and calm, trembled slightly with his secret fold. When Eunuch Liu thought it was because he was dazzled, he saw Emperor Chongde stand up suddenly with an excited expression on his face. .
"That's great, Princess Su is pregnant! Hahaha... my emperor's younger brother finally has a child..." Emperor Chongde laughed happily, his handsome face was stained with a blush, and the excitement in his heart can be imagined.
Eunuch Liu was stunned for a while, and soon realized that he knelt down on the ground and said with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." The fact that the princess is pregnant is so unbelievable, but Eunuch Liu has served the emperor for so many years, so he naturally knows the status of King Su in the heart of Emperor Chongde, even if it is not comparable to the little prince, just say congratulations to him at this time up.
Indeed, looking at Emperor Chongde's joy, I'm afraid he was not so excited when he learned that his empress was pregnant.
Emperor Chongde was in a great mood, and he just laughed and cursed at Eunuch Liu's flattery: "What are you congratulating me for? It's King Su who should be congratulating."
Eunuch Liu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, King Su Qiansui is not in Beijing at this time, and my servant congratulates you as well." Isn't it true that Emperor Chongde was so happy that his favorite son finally gave birth to his first child. Like a grandson, it really makes people want to enter Feifei.
"You are the only one who can talk!" Emperor Chongde scolded with a smile, feeling so excited that he walked around in the palace and said to Eunuch Liu who was following him in circles: "Eunuch Liu, look at those old foxes outside! And those children from the family, which ones are not flattering me on the surface, but secretly saying that my emperor's younger brother "kept his wife and son" in this life, and no one will die after death. No matter how much I trust him, he will not end well. What's the use? I even used it to bet... Tsk, this time I will definitely play them to death, but I have spent half of the money in my private treasury, I don’t believe that I can’t play them! Eunuch Liu, I went back to bet It’s time for the money to be recovered. Go and inform them and let them take back half of the money I won, and the other half will continue to bet. Just bet... King Su’s child will be born safely. When King Su’s child is born, if it is a boy, I will I will decree to make him the eldest son, and he will inherit the title of Su Wangfu when he grows up; if it is a girl, um, she will be the princess of the royal family, my princess!"
When Eunuch Liu heard the last words of Emperor Chongde, he knew that the emperor really loved his only younger brother, and even gave the unborn child in Princess Su an unimaginable honor, which no one has ever enjoyed. arrived. It seems that as long as Emperor Chongde is in power, Su Wangfu will be honored and favored infinitely.
Eunuch Liu couldn't stop the smile on his face, and responded.
Eunuch Liu knew that their master had made a lot of money this time, but the emperor's participation in private gambling should not be taught to others, so he should be more vigilant, so as not to spoil the emperor's good deeds.
"Also, I want to make sure that Princess Su will give birth to Lin'er in a safe place! You go to the imperial hospital to have a look, pass on my order, and then transfer two imperial physicians to Tongcheng... Ah, there are also some female doctors who are familiar with gynecology. , Tell them that Princess Su will definitely let Concubine Su give birth safely, otherwise, they don't have to come back."
Not having to come back means being exiled in a border town. This is an unimaginable thing for people who have lived in the capital all their lives. I believe that people who hear this will definitely take care of them with 12 points of heart.
Eunuch Liu knew that the emperor attached great importance to Concubine Su's birth, so he responded respectfully, then turned his head and went to give orders.
After finishing the order, Emperor Chongde couldn't think of anything else that needed attention. After all, Concubine Su was far away in the border town at this time, and his younger brother seemed to have no intention of returning to Beijing. Nei will not come back. And as a big man, he has never paid attention to what pregnant women need. As an emperor, when his concubines are pregnant, there will be a special person to report, and when the child is born, someone will report again. From then on to the end, he only needs to wait for the prince to be born, and he will take a look... It seems that this matter has to find someone with experience to ask.
Emperor Chongde couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up and drove to the Chonghua Palace of the Queen Mother, wanting to tell the Queen Mother the good news.
Emperor Chongde's current state of mind is as if his carefully raised son has finally grown up and has a future. He has emotions such as comfort and sadness. This is the first time he has lost his composure in more than ten years of his emperor's career, and he is not very willing. Bring this down. Emperor Chongde urgently needs to share this good news with others at this time, and the object of sharing is the Queen Mother who also cares about King Su's descendants.
***********
In the Chonghua Palace, the Empress Dowager stared blankly at the smiling emperor. She hadn't seen such a happy and angry emperor for more than twenty years. In other words, except for the one time when the youngest son was born, at other times, her eldest son was always calm, restrained and deep. After ascending to the ninety-five supreme position, he added an emperor's majesty, making it difficult for people to look directly at him.
The queen mother suspected that she was hallucinating, and she actually heard the emperor tell her that Princess Su, who was far away in the border town, was pregnant.
"Emperor, did Aijia get it wrong? You said..."
"Queen, you heard me right. I did say that Concubine Su is pregnant."
As soon as the emperor's words fell, the clever palace people in the Chonghua Palace immediately knelt down and congratulated the queen mother for having another grandson.
The queen mother finally confirmed it, and her face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.
Her youngest son, who was ordered by the eminent monk of the White Horse Temple to "keep his wife and son" finally has a son, how can this not make her happy? Now let's see who dares to laugh at her son for "defeating his wife and son", no one will die when he is old!
"Okay, okay!" The queen mother said hello three times in a row, and said to the emperor: "The Ai family knew that Princess Su is a good one, otherwise she would not have been caught by the Ai family among the many young ladies of the aristocratic family."
"The queen mother said so."
The mother and son enjoyed themselves for a while, and the queen mother's feverish head finally sobered up a bit, and she immediately said, "Concubine Su is pregnant, let them come back to Beijing, the capital is the best place to have a baby and wait for delivery... Oh, isn't this road bad? Let's go? The first three months are very dangerous, so let's wait. It's not too late to come back after three months when the pregnancy is stable. The Ai family will send some servants with experience in childbirth to take care of them, and the imperial physicians and nurses will also send some over there ...Well, also, Princess Su is pregnant, and she can't serve King Su anymore. This time, the Ai family must carefully select some caring women to serve them... "
Emperor Chongde listened with a smile, and when the Queen Mother said, "Concubine Su is pregnant, she will not be able to serve King Su anymore. This time, the Ai family must carefully select some caring women to serve them...", Emperor Chongde The smiling face froze slightly.
"Mother!" Emperor Chongde interrupted the empress dowager and said, "There is no rush, there are already enough people serving in Tongcheng, and I don't think there is any need to send someone there." Emperor Chongde had to remind his head to get hot The empress dowager, in case one is inattentive, the empress dowager will be refuted again, making everyone lose face.
As soon as the queen mother heard it, she knew what he meant, her face sank, and she said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean? Since ancient times, which pregnant wife would hold on to her husband during pregnancy? This is also for the mourning of the family. Good morning, princess, lest people find out and say that she is jealous."
"Queen, Ba Ning won't want it!"
"What does he mean? Since ancient times, which man has not had three wives and four concubines? He is a prince. Could it be that he can't guard a woman in this life?" The queen mother said angrily, "The Ai family still hopes that he will have many children and grandchildren, but can't Let him do whatever he wants. Your majesty, the Ai family is his mother, and she won't harm her own child!"
Emperor Chongde almost sighed in his heart, you won't harm your own children, but you will always make trouble for others!
"Queen, isn't the fate of the two Yao family medical girls that you sent last time not enough? He doesn't like Ba Ning, so you can't force him."
It's okay not to say, but when it came to this, the Queen Mother became angry again, tightly clutching the round fan in her hand and pursing her lips, she said, "Emperor, you are the one who spoiled King Su. Do you think any prince in Beijing is as good as him?" Willful? If you insist on staying in the border town and not coming back, there is only one woman by your side. You don’t know that when King Jing, King Jin, and the concubines of King Liu came to the palace to visit Ai’s family, they secretly laughed at King Su as a fearful person. Those princes look down on you so much... Tell me, can the Ai family not be angry, can the Ai family not think about him?"
Emperor Chongde naturally knew what those people outside the palace thought of his younger brother, but ever since the matter of the White Horse Temple eminent monk's order, there have been all kinds of ugly rumors, and this one is not bad. He pampered and protected his emperor's brother, if they dared to gossip in public, don't blame him, the emperor, for abusing his private power to make excuses and directly relegate them to the sky. As an emperor, he still has this kind of right. If those princes are not afraid that their descendants will end badly, they can laugh at will.
The queen mother was dumbfounded, as if she didn't know the son in front of her. Which emperor would protect his younger brother like this? Didn't the news spread that he was a king
The mother and son didn't talk speculatively, and in the end, it was the queen mother who used filial piety to overwhelm the emperor.
"I don't care about the Ai family. Anyway, the Ai family cannot allow King Su to degenerate. This person must be sent to the Ai family."
"Okay then!" Emperor Chongde said calmly and calmly, "If Baning throws them all out, you can't send them there anymore, lest people outside know and laugh at you again, I won't Easy to clean up."
"..."
The queen mother covered her chest, watching her disobedient eldest son leave without saying anything, she was so angry that her chest hurt endlessly.
Oh, hello, what kind of sons are these sons she gave birth to? They are obviously debts to her enemies, and they are all here to anger her!
***************
Not to mention how the empress dowager and the emperor pk in the capital, but in Tongcheng, Ananda began to raise a baby.
Since the diagnosis of Ananda's pregnancy was confirmed, the people of Su Wangfu regarded Ananda as a fragile object, and people followed her everywhere, and they were so nervous that they even drank saliva, wishing to drink it for her, lest she accidentally choke caught.
Of course, the final reason why Ananda was stared at so closely was also the order of a certain prince.
Because of Chu Baning's order, everyone in the whole government now treats her as a high-risk person. The servants in the mansion should now speak softly and walk quietly so as not to disturb the pregnant women. And Chu Baning went to the military camp except for something, and stayed with her at other times, and would come back on time every day to accompany her for dinner, and there would never be any delays.
Now there are two imperial physicians on duty every day in the palace. Even Dr. Gu's daughter, Gu Xiaoyan, was invited to stay with her in the palace, which made Ananda feel sorry for the girl. At the Chengshou Mansion, Mrs. He generously sent two servants with experience in childbirth to take care of them. By the way, she asked them to talk to Ananda about the things that need to be paid attention to during pregnancy. His concern is extraordinary. In addition, tonics are necessary. Ananda drank so much that he was about to vomit, and at the end of the drink, a certain prince would always coax her to drink tonics with a very serious face.
Every day, under the supervision of everyone, Ananda ate and slept, ate and slept, and there were people chatting. And the two little foxes raised by Ananda were ruthlessly thrown to the servants by Chu Baning because of her pregnancy. Ananda heard that there are bacteria on small animals, which is not good for pregnant women. Although he felt sorry for the two little foxes, he did not object for the sake of the children.
In terms of diet, Ananda suddenly discovered that she now has a lot of taboos. One day, when she listened to Madam Zhang muttering something, "Children who eat rabbit meat will have cleft lips, children who eat lamb meat will get epilepsy, children who eat dog meat will bite, Children who eat duck will get head shaking, and children who eat ginger will grow six fingers..." Wait, Ananda almost stopped spraying.
She didn't know that there were so many sayings in ancient times. In her previous life, she saw a sister-in-law who was pregnant. She was allowed to eat whatever she wanted, as long as it was harmless to pregnant women, but there was no such taboo. Why is it my turn to be pregnant, it seems that I can't eat a lot of things
However, Ananda is a person with modern thinking after all, knowing that pregnant women don’t just have to arch up like a Bodhisattva, but they also need to exercise moderately. For this reason, Ananda insisted on taking a walk in the yard every day, trying to maintain a normal mind in the tense atmosphere.
Therefore, in the entire palace, the most calm person is the pregnant woman!
Of course, it was a military adviser who left Ananda speechless the most.
Wen Liang still didn't move back to the barracks, and lived in the guest room of the palace as if it were his own home, which made Ananda feel that it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God away. Recently, Wen Liang followed Chu Baning like a follower, and came to report to her at dinner time the next day, and then stared eagerly at her belly, thinking about her son or something.
Ananda's face was full of black lines. Although Chu Baning once said that if he gave birth to a young son, the child would recognize him as a foster father, but this child may not be a son, right? Is the other one a daughter
When Ananda asked this question, both Chu Baning and Wen Liang were stunned, thinking that they had never thought about this possibility.
Chu Baning was only stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "It doesn't matter to my daughter, I will find her a good husband in the future."
Ananda looked at her serious and somewhat gloomy face, and closed his mouth wisely, knowing that if he really gave birth to a daughter, his future son-in-law might be very pitiful, because he would have a difficult father-in-law, and he would still A very powerful, domineering and painful father-in-law.
The corners of Wen Liang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said to Ananda hesitantly: "If it's the princess... ahem, Zixiu will also prepare a generous dowry for her."
Ananda followed suit, and she couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with Wen Liang, he couldn't marry a wife and have children, that's why he cared so much about their children, and was anxious to become a adoptive father or something. However, she couldn't ask this kind of question about digging someone's private scars, so she could only flirt in her heart.
Chu Baning glanced at him, and said displeasedly: "No need, my daughter will naturally prepare a dowry for her." Asking a man to prepare a dowry for his daughter is really something that hurts a man's self-esteem , so Chu Baning resolutely vetoed Wen Liang's words.
Wen Liang was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "My lord, if the little princess can follow your looks and temper, Zixiu believes that she will need a lot of dowry."
"..."
Ananda's face was full of black lines, and he looked at the face of a certain prince. If he gave birth to a daughter who looked like him, I believe that the daughter would be very beautiful and beautiful, but if he even had a temper like him... orz... Ananda believed that their daughter would be absolutely beautiful. Could it be that as Wen Liang said, a rich dowry needs to be prepared before the daughter can be married off...
Wen Liang's words hit the couple hard enough, Ananda looked at Chu Baning tearfully, and almost bit his handkerchief.
"My lord, if my daughter is really like you..." Ananda said quietly.
Chu Baning's face was very dark, and his voice was a little low, "This king's daughter is naturally like this king!"
Ananda paused, looked at Wen Liang, he was the one who brought up the topic, so let him explain.
Chu Baning also looked at Wen Liang, with a chill in his black eyes, as if he would instantly kill him if he said something that didn't suit his mind.
Wen Liang knew that he had inadvertently ignited a certain prince's heart, so he said a few words with a smile, and hurried away, leaving a certain prince to deal with the emotional pregnant woman.
Ananda's body is very healthy, even if she is pregnant, she doesn't have the nausea symptoms that pregnant women should have. Her whole body is pink and pink, she likes to be pretty and sweet, and she eats and sleeps soundly, making people enviable. The only problem is that it gets too emotional. The imperial doctor said that this was a normal reaction of pregnant women, which made Chu Baning and Wen Liang experience the capriciousness of pregnant women for the first time in their lives.
However, fortunately, Ananda was still that kind-hearted girl, and she didn't make people turn their backs when she wanted to toss her, making her exhausted.
"My lord, it's nice for a daughter to look like you, but if she also has a temper like you..." Ananda was worried, it was enough to have a serious face with a paralyzed face in the family, do you want another one
"What's wrong with being like this king?" Chu Baning cut off her words.
Ananda rolled his eyes in his heart, this master really didn't know himself. In the Great Chu Dynasty, there was a King Su who was already a pain in the ass. In the future, there would be another princess who was very similar to him. Which man would want to marry? Ananda felt that no normal man would be willing to take home a woman who was so serious that it hurts, and whose words pierced people's hearts. Especially if you marry such a woman and come home with a particularly difficult father-in-law...
Could it be that his daughter will not be able to marry in the future
Ananda was sad.
When I was never married before, I still thought that it’s okay for a woman to remain unmarried all her life. Single nobles are fine. But in this era, single nobles are not allowed, and women will be laughed at if they don't marry when they reach their age. Naturally, my child has to plan for her, how can I allow myself to have the same thoughts as before
Chu Baning saw her frowning with a troubled face, her eyes were red, and she was in a bad mood. Chu Baning directly carried her back to the bedroom, hugged her and sat on the pit together, carefully wrapped her hands around her flat abdomen, and habitually put her face on her neck and rubbed it intimately.
"Even if my daughter is like this king, it's fine. This king will teach her martial arts and martial arts, and train her to be an excellent woman." Chu Baning said softly, his face blushing suspiciously.
"..."
Ananda was confused, did he want to cultivate a Wu Zetian, or did he want to make a Princess Taiping? It seems that no man dares to marry, right
Having rubbed enough, Chu Baning raised her face and kissed her lips, with a soft expression, black eyes like water, and comforted her: "You can have a baby, and the king can arrange the daughter's affairs."
Ananda: =__=! By the way, what exactly do you want to arrange
Hey, don't you guys think it's too early to talk about this? Your children don't even know if they are boys or girls!
