Yuan Min secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was not a sage, just a runaway. If there was another bastard, there would be an extra layer of worries in the future. King Qin and King Han had set a precedent, how could she not worry about it.
Now that Man'er has given birth to a little princess, all these worries are gone.
Zhu Yun actually breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with a smile flashing in his eyes. He subconsciously reached out to hug the child, but before he stretched out his hand, he retracted it.
Yuan Min glanced at him angrily: "I don't even hug my own daughter. What do you think I'm going to do? Can't I even tolerate a child?"
Zhu Yun smiled and said nothing. He reached out and hugged the baby.
The newborn child's face is flushed, his eyebrows are light, and he can't tell whether he is beautiful or ugly. However, there is a vague shadow of him between his eyebrows.
He had never expected this child. But when he held the little one in his arms, blood was thicker than water, the nature of a father and a daughter. When he saw it for the first time, he felt loved in his heart.
Yuan Min also came over to take a look: "Let's give the child a nickname!"
The eldest son Zhu Dong, the eldest daughter Zhu Tang, the second son Zhu Liang. The youngest daughter of a concubine also came from the character "木".
Zhu Yun thought for a while and said: "Call me Zhu Rong! My nickname will be Sister Rong."
Yuan Min nodded slightly and said casually: "The child is still young and cannot be separated from his mother, so he will be raised by his mother's side. However, this yard is a bit small. After confinement, we will change to a larger yard and add a few more
I am served by a servant in the palace."
Not to mention the East Palace, Yuan Min is in charge of all the internal affairs of the entire palace.
Zhu Yun also felt that it would be more appropriate for the child to be placed next to his mother: "That's fine."
Yuan Min was busy, and he had three children to take care of. He had neither the energy nor the mood to educate a concubine. Furthermore, he didn't want Sister Rong to hang around in front of Yuan Min's eyes all the time.
After the baby was born safely, Yuan Min felt relieved and was about to leave. Zhu Yun naturally gave the baby to the wet nurse and also wanted to go with Yuan Min.
Yuan Min turned to look at him: "She gave birth to a child for you after all. Go and see her!"
Zhu Yun hesitated for a moment, but Yuan Min had already walked away.
Zhu Yun looked at his wife's back, feeling guilty and moved. With such a good wife, what more could a husband ask for.
After a while, Zhu Yun entered the delivery room.
At this time, the delivery room had been tidied up, but there was still a faint smell of blood and peculiar smell. Man'er was lying on the bed with a pale face, weak, tired, and drowsy.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Man'er opened her eyes, and a handsome face she hadn't seen for a long time came into view.
It was Zhu Yun who came.
Man'er's body trembled slightly, a touch of surprise and excitement flashed in her eyes, and her voice was weak: "Your Highness! This is the delivery room. It's not clean. Why did Your Highness come in?"
Zhu Yun whispered: "The Crown Princess asked me to come in and see you."
Yuan Min was indeed virtuous and generous, with the bearing and demeanor of a princess. He allowed her to raise her baby safely, and even came to sit outside the delivery room when she was giving birth, and even asked Zhu Yun to see her.
How could there be such a woman in the world! Let her bow her head in admiration, and there would be no resentment at all, only gratitude.
"I named the child Zhu Rong. His nickname will be Rong Jie'er. When you are out of confinement, you can move your child to a big yard. I will not treat you mother and daughter badly in terms of food and clothing."
Man'er's nose was a little sore and she said softly: "The Crown Princess is very generous and respectable. Your Highness, rest assured that Man'er will live peacefully in the future and will never cause trouble to Your Highness."
Zhu Yun hardened his heart and said, "It would be best if you can see clearly and understand."
He paused for a moment and then said: "If anything happens, you can ask someone to send a message to the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess will decide."
Man'er responded quietly.
Zhu Yun sat for a while, then stood up and left. Man'er watched Zhu Yun leave, then turned his head inward, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
…
"Sister Rong, this name is well received."
The news that Man'er gave birth to the little princess soon spread to the Jiaofang Palace. Queen Yuan's face did not show much joy and she praised her casually. Hongyu on the side reminded softly: "Empress, although the little princess is a concubine, after all,
They are the prince's flesh and blood. As a grandmother, I should be rewarded."
Empress Yuan was not very happy and did not object.
Hongyu went to the warehouse, prepared a few suitable rewards, and asked two palace men to deliver them to Man'er's courtyard. In this way, the dignity of Jiaofang Palace was restored.
After dark, Emperor Qing'an finished his business and came to Jiaofang Hall to have dinner with Empress Yuan.
Empress Yuan told Emperor Qing'an about the birth of a concubine's granddaughter: "...that man named Man'er gave birth to a daughter. That's fine. If the birth was a concubine, it would not be a good thing for Brother Dong.
"
Emperor Qing'an: "..."
Emperor Qing'an cleared his throat: "Brother Dong is both a direct descendant and a eldest son. When Brother Dong reaches eight years old, he will be crowned grandson. No one can affect Brother Dong's status."
Empress Yuan loved her eldest grandson the most. She laughed when she heard this: "It's too early. How can anyone consecrate a grandson at the age of eight? We have to wait for Brother Dong to grow up."
Emperor Qing'an said: "If my father had established a prince earlier, maybe we brothers would not be where we are today."
Emperor Long'an delayed in establishing a prince, and the princes were all ambitious. They secretly recruited soldiers and courtiers and formed gangs. Eventually, the brothers turned against each other.
Emperor Qing'an only had one son, so there would be no fight for the crown prince in the future. On the other hand, the crown prince, at a young age, had two sons and two daughters. Maybe there would be more in the future. If he established a grandson early, people would be at peace.
Empress Yuan always listened to her husband on important matters. Emperor Qing'an said this, and Empress Yuan nodded happily.
…
Sister Rong's baptism ceremony was simple and low-key.
Empress Yuan sent Hongyu to present a set of red gold bracelets, anklets, and necklaces, and Crown Princess Yuan Min also received heavy baptism gifts. The concubines in the harem also gave baptism gifts one after another.
Princess Zhao led her daughter-in-law into the palace, went to see Man'er and Sister Rong, and then went to see the Crown Princess, praising the Crown Princess for her virtuous and generous nature.
Yuan Min was extremely disgusted.
Prince Zhao deliberately "sent" Man'er to Zhu Yun, wasn't it just to alienate the couple and alienate the East Palace? Now that Man'er has even given birth to a child, Princess Zhao and Prince Zhao's concubine and daughter-in-law, this is a special trip
Here comes the excitement.
Princess Zhao was the elder, and Yuan Min was the junior, so she had to tolerate a little bit of her unhappiness.
However, there is no need to be so polite towards the Crown Princess Zhao.
As soon as the Crown Princess of Zhao praised the Crown Princess for her virtue, Yuan Min responded with a smile: "Bi Xianliang, I am far worse than you. I heard that the Crown Prince of Zhao is so beautiful that there is almost no space left in the backyard for such a beauty.
, I reluctantly endured it. If it had happened one after another, I would have scratched my husband's face."
