The little prince hugged Yuxi and called him "Father". He was obviously very happy when he looked at Yuxi being held by him.
Zhao Chengji reached out and touched his son's head, feeling satisfied.
"Perhaps this is God's will. I believe that my prince will be able to shoulder the important responsibilities of the world in the future."
All civil and military officials took a deep breath.
Does this mean to establish a prince?
Not to mention all the civil and military officials, even Yu Lan, who was standing next to Zhao Chengji, couldn't help but look up at him.
Zhao Chengji didn't care what they thought. Yes, he just took this opportunity to inform them in advance. Now that the little prince is only one year old, he can wait for two years until the child is older. By then, the prince will be established.
It’s time to enlighten and start reading.
So, no rush now.
Although the emperor did not explicitly say that he would make the eldest prince the crown prince, everyone had already thought about it. It seems that this matter is probably a done deal.
dissatisfied.
Sad.
But, what can be done? There is only such a prince in the Northern Territory, and even the emperor's harem only has a concubine. The emperor is not young, and the royal family does not have many heirs. Maybe there will be no other princes in the future. Thinking of this, everyone feels that it is too
Still acceptable.
Of course, there are those who accept it, but there are those who are unwilling to accept it, and there are also those who have a wait-and-see attitude. After all, His Royal Highness is still young, and there will be countless possibilities in the future. Perhaps, there will be other concubines in the palace soon, and there will be other concubines in the palace.
With the addition of another prince, who can be sure?
After the princess and the little prince captured Zhou, the long table was removed. The sound of strings and bamboos sounded, and the dancing girl came gracefully.
The party continues.
At the banquet, fine wine and delicious food...
After the Zhou Zhou ceremony, the nun from Shouan Palace sent the Phoenix Seal.
"According to the Queen Mother's decree, the noble concubine is dignified and virtuous. From now on, she will be in charge of the phoenix seal and handle the affairs of the harem on her behalf without any mistakes."
Yu Lan was stunned.
Phoenix Seal, for yourself?
Yu Lan was really surprised that the Queen Mother thought so highly of herself. To be honest, even she had no confidence in herself.
Although he was a little nervous, Yu Lan still took the phoenix seal respectfully.
"I, my concubine, will obey my decree."
In the Northern Kingdom, the imperial concubine is already the first person under the queen, equivalent to the deputy empress. When there is no queen, it is normal for the phoenix seal to handle harem affairs on her behalf. (There is no imperial concubine in this dynasty.)
The one who came to the Rongxi Palace to present the Phoenix Seal was Grandma Lin who was by my side too much. This grandma was rich, cautious in words and deeds, not easy to mess with, and very well-behaved.
"My Lady, there is no need to be nervous. During this period, I will be with you."
Yu Lan nodded, "Then I'll bother you, mama." This mama is someone close to the Queen Mother and can teach her, so she won't have a black eye.
Holding the phoenix seal and exercising the power of the queen, the responsibility will not be lightened. Nor will she refuse. Whether it is for him or her children, she must learn these things. People are not born with it, and they cannot learn it. It just so happens
, Yu Lan is the kind of person who can calm down and study.
Nanny Lin nodded, "This is my duty as an old slave, it should be."
In the days that followed, Yu Lan became very busy. In addition to spending time with her children and eating with her father, she also spent time learning how to manage the harem and how to deal with things in the harem.
The so-called management of the harem does not just mean it literally. For example, all kinds of banquets held in the palace must go through her hands. Also, during festivals and festivals, sacrifices must also go through her hands. In addition,
She also had to meet with the wives of some ministers from time to time, and these had to be handled by her. In short, Feng Yin was really not just for show.
As the saying goes, with great ability comes great responsibility.
Don't look at it, it's just the wives who meet the ministers. These may affect the life and death of the people in the world, so don't underestimate the circle of women. Because, their fathers, husbands, brothers, cousins, cousins, cousins, etc.
My cousin may be an official in the imperial court, or a soldier guarding the border.
So, this is a network of relationships, so it is beneficial to know more about it.
While I was busy, the weather became warmer. In a misty rain, peach blossoms fell all over the garden again.
At this moment, Yu Lan was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the Rongxi Palace. On her right side, a cup of hot tea was steaming. And not far in front of her, two women were kneeling.
These two women wore buns, were dressed in noble clothes, and their faces showed signs of age. They were two women in their forties.
At this moment, the two women disliked each other and argued endlessly, making their faces red and thick-necked. If not for Yu Lan's presence, the situation might have gotten worse.
"My dear concubine, you have to make the decision for me. How could the Li family deceive my daughter to this extent?" Yu Lan remembered that the speaker was the mother of the governor Wang, Mrs. Yipin Gaoming.
"My dear concubine, it is clear that she is the daughter of the royal family and cannot give birth to a son. Now, someone has given birth to her and is willing to bear it in her name. What else does she want? In my opinion, she is a jealous woman who cannot tolerate others.
." At this moment, the person speaking plausibly was Prime Minister Li's sister, whose son was also an official in the DPRK.
"You have gone too far to deceive me. Before you married my daughter, your son was already secretly married to someone else. Now you want to put that bastard in my daughter's name. It is impossible. You are cheating on the marriage. If you had known earlier,
It is impossible for our family to marry our daughter. Today, my daughter is still unconscious, but you, the Li family, still want to record that bastard in my daughter's name. Are you, the Li family, bullying our Wang family?
Human? My dear concubine, you must make the decision for my daughter."
Yu Lan: "..."
Who can help me.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to settle family affairs. If they are not managed properly, the two families will become enemies. As the noble concubine of the Northern Territory Kingdom, Yu Lan naturally hopes that the monarch and his ministers will be in harmony, and these ministers will be less troublesome and work well for her majesty.
Let him work less hard.
After glancing at the two of them, Yu Lan was silent. After thinking about it secretly, Yu Lan finally said, "Madam, please calm down. If you have anything to do, sit down and talk. Come and watch."
"yes……"
The servants at the Rongxi Palace quickly brought chairs for the two of them.
Yu Lan: "Some time ago, the emperor rewarded me with a lot of Dahongpao and sweet-scented osmanthus. Make a cup for the two ladies to try."
"Yes, empress."
Guihua, who was standing next to her, responded and went down to make tea.
"I already know the purpose of the two ladies' visit. Don't worry, I will make the decision for you. However, for now, the two ladies should calm down and have a sip of tea. Let's talk slowly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Concubine."
They didn't dare to make mistakes about this noble concubine. People gave them face because they looked down upon them. Even if they looked down on them, they had to suffer. The emperor's favorite concubine, they had that kind of capital.
