Although Kunning Palace was very busy during the birth, thanks to Shu Liang, Xing'an and Liu Huan, they had made preparations early.
Therefore, as soon as the little princess was born, the entire Kunning Palace immediately restored order under their command.
In about two sticks of incense, the entire palace was in order.
In the Nuan Pavilion, although Mrs. Wang was very tired from giving birth, she finally regained some strength after taking some ginseng soup. She wrapped her head and wiped her forehead, hugged the quilt and leaned on the thick pillow.
Beside her, the newly born little princess finally got tired of crying, clenched her two little fists and fell into a deep sleep.
Snow was falling heavily outside the hall, but the fire in the hall was burning brightly, and I couldn't feel the slightest chill.
Mrs. Wang looked at this little person and sighed inaudibly, but was soon filled with deep love.
After all, this was a piece of flesh that fell from her body after struggling all night in the gate of hell. How could she not love it?
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, so Wang raised her head subconsciously.
"See the Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine."
As a large number of palace people knelt on the ground, the thick curtain was opened, and the figure of Mrs. Hang supporting the Queen Mother Wu appeared in the Nuan Pavilion.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Wang's eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood, sat up straight, bowed slightly, and said.
"Greetings to my mother and concubine. My daughter-in-law is unable to perform the ceremony right now. Please forgive me, my mother and concubine."
Empress Dowager Wu was not overly harsh this time. She came to the palace and stood still. She glanced at Mrs. Wang and the little princess beside her, but her attitude was very cold.
"No need to worry about etiquette, just rest. You have just given birth, so don't worry about it. The Yi family will take care of it for you."
"Also, the emperor heard yesterday that you were in labor. He rushed over overnight and stayed outside all night. He issued an edict in the morning and waived it. He didn't leave until the child was born and took him out."
"The foreign government is busy with government affairs, so you don't have to wait any longer and have a good rest."
These words seemed to be out of concern, but Xing'an, who was kneeling on the ground beside him, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
There is nothing wrong with what the Queen Mother said.
However, it doesn't sound right no matter how I listen to it.
This statement was obviously untrue, but why did it seem to imply that because the child was a princess, the emperor, who had been waiting for the whole night, left in disappointment?
Kankan raised his head and glanced at the Queen, and sure enough, with these words, the Queen's face, which had just regained some color, suddenly turned pale.
She just lowered her head and looked at the sleeping little person, holding the brocade quilt tightly with her delicate hands and biting her lower lip so hard that her joints turned a little white.
Seeing this situation, Xing'an quickly wanted to open his mouth to explain, but as soon as he raised his head, he felt a sharp gaze.
The Queen Mother!
After hesitating for a moment, Xing'an gritted his teeth and spoke with determination.
"Empress, Your Majesty, he..."
Just after saying a few words, there was suddenly another sound outside the Nuan Pavilion.
Immediately afterwards, the thick curtain was opened, and a familiar figure appeared in the thermal pavilion.
"My slave, please give your regards to the Queen Mother, the Queen, and the Imperial Concubine."
The eunuch in charge of Qianqing Palace, Huai En!
Empress Dowager Wu frowned subconsciously and shouted softly: "The emperor has been busy all night. As his attendant eunuch, you are not around to serve, why did you come to Kunning Palace?"
Hearing this, Wynn leaned forward, still with a gentle smile on his face, as if he could not hear the questioning and dissatisfaction in Empress Dowager Wu's words.
Then, he did not answer directly, but walked a few steps forward, came to Wang's bed, took out an exquisite brocade box from his sleeve, presented it with respectful hands, and said.
"The Queen, there were some urgent matters outside just now. The Emperor was in a hurry to deal with them, so he didn't have time to visit the Queen. However, on the way to the Wenhua Palace, the Emperor went back to the Qianqing Palace in person to get this thing. , let the slave give it to the empress."
"The emperor said that this is a gift for the little princess. It was prepared a long time ago. I was supposed to give it to the little princess in person, but there was a sudden emergency in the outer court, so I had to order my slave to bring it first. He will wait for it later. After finishing the matter, I will come to visit you immediately."
Mrs. Wang looked at the brocade box in front of her, blinked her eyes in confusion, then reached out to take the box, gently opened the lid, and saw a longevity lock lying quietly in the brocade box.
This lock is not big, but it is made entirely of pure gold. On the left and right sides, a phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly is embossed with mutton-fat white jade, which looks lifelike.
In the middle are engraved the four small words "longevity and health", surrounded by cloud patterns and branches, which are extremely exquisite. Under the lock, there are five small golden bells hanging.
Mrs. Wang carefully picked up the longevity lock from the brocade box, but found that her tentacles were warm.
Then, she discovered that there was also a piece of warm jade inlaid on the back of the small lock. However, the jade was not flat, and something seemed to be carved on it.
Turning the lock over, Wang took a quick look and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
There is no pattern carved on the back of this longevity lock, only two small regular characters.
Nian Yun!
These two words, compared with the previous four words "longevity and well-being", were a little more ingenious, but Mrs. Wang kept looking at them over and over again, with a smile on her face.
At this time, Wynn spoke at the right time.
"Your Majesty, this longevity lock was cast by the Emperor two months ago. Especially the flying phoenix on it was drawn by the Emperor himself. The craftsmen selected the best materials and carved them carefully. After careful consideration for a long time, I finally made the finished product."
"The words on the back of this lock are the names given to the little princess by the emperor. They were also carved by the emperor himself. The emperor said that he hoped that the little princess would be safe, healthy and live a long life."
Including the newly born little princess, Zhu Qiyu now has a son and two daughters. Unlike princes, who must be named according to their generation, princesses are often called titles, so they do not need to be named according to their generation.
Sister Hui's full name is Zhu Minghui, which means clear and intelligent. In the previous life, Zhu Qiyu's little daughter was named Zhu Sujing, which means elegant and quiet.
However, this little daughter is what makes Zhu Qiyu feel most distressed.
Because of the difficult delivery and insufficient pregnancy period, his little daughter was born with congenital deficiencies and became frail and sickly as she grew older. She was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as unfit for marriage and ended up spending her whole life as a Buddha.
From a purely emotional point of view, he does have selfish motives and hopes that he will have a chance in this life to compensate his little daughter again.
Fortunately, God returned his daughter to him.
Moreover, unlike in the previous life when Dong Su was born with a congenital defect, this time Dong Su used four words to describe it.
All safe!
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu could put down the stone in his heart and rush to deal with the government affairs of the foreign dynasty...
Wang turned the small lock over and over, and finally fixed his gaze on the warm jade behind the longevity lock.
Nian Yun...
She read these two words in a low voice, and a faint blush appeared on her originally pale face.
Turning the lock over again and looking at the two lifelike flying phoenixes above, Mrs. Wang lightly puffed her lips and snorted. She hung the lock on the sleeping baby with some reluctance and said.
"Then you will be called Sister Yun from now on."
"You are blessed. Even though your sister Hui has grown so big, she still hasn't found a piece of the longevity lock carved by your father. You got it as soon as you were born."
Although there was a hint of anger in his words, Wang's face was full of smile, a real, reassuring smile.
Again, for the royal family, the legitimate son is particularly important.
Therefore, this pregnancy was very stressful for Wang.
Although Zhu Qiyu told her very early on that he hoped to have another daughter.
However, Ms. Wang always thought that her husband deliberately told lies to make her feel at ease.
As the emperor, how could he not want to have an eldest son who could succeed Zong Zuo?
Therefore, when she heard Queen Mother Wu say that her husband turned away after seeing the child, even though she told her in her heart that she would not do it, she still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, this longevity lock, like a sea-fixing needle, completely calmed her hesitant mood.
After all, no one would prepare a longevity lock with a flying phoenix engraved on it for a boy. Also, the name Nian Yun was given to his daughter as soon as he heard it...
Seeing Mrs. Wang's appearance, Mrs. Wu's face became even more ugly, but now that things had happened, she had nothing more to say.
After glancing at Huaien and Xing'an, she snorted coldly, turned around and left the Nuan Pavilion.
Hang, on the other hand, was quite reluctant to leave. It wasn't that she didn't want to leave Kunning Palace, but that she had seen the exquisite longevity lock from the very beginning.
Mrs. Wang said that Sister Hui had no objects carved by her father himself, and neither did Brother Ji... either!
The chaotic day in the harem finally came to an end.
To be honest, Zhu Qiyu had no intention of returning to Qianqing Palace, but on the way to Wenhua Palace, he always felt something was wrong, so he remembered the longevity lock he had prepared long ago.
So, I simply took a detour and took the small lock, and then I felt relieved.
However, as a result, when he arrived at Wenhua Hall, he was a little late.
"I have met His Majesty."
In the hall, there was already a white-haired old man, wearing a light blue python robe, sitting on a chair. Behind him was a young man with a delicate face.
Seeing Zhu Qiyu come in, the old man just stood up and bowed, but did not pay homage.
But even such a small movement still made him cough violently.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but sigh, and quickly stepped forward, helped the old man sit down, then bowed and returned the greeting.
"It's snowing heavily. It's my fault to trouble my uncle to go into the palace. Uncle, please take a seat."
Yes, the old man in the python robe in the palace is none other than the old Min King who is now in charge of the sect's mansion, Zhu Xun.
It should be said that with Zhu Qiyu's rebirth, many things have changed.
For example, the old Min King was supposed to die of illness in March of the first year of Jingtai, but Zhu Qiyu stayed in the capital and used the best imperial doctors and medicines.
In addition, the two troublesome sons were sent far away, out of sight and out of mind, so the life of Prince Min was actually extended a lot.
However, some things cannot be undone by humans.
After this autumn, King Lao Min fell seriously ill, and he has been on the sickbed for many days. The imperial doctor diagnosed him several times and came back to report that time was running out.
Therefore, unless there was something really important, Zhu Qiyu would not bother him to enter the palace in person in this weather.
Perhaps because he had not been out for a long time, Prince Min was not as haggard and weak as he had imagined, and was in good spirits.
He sat down on the chair again, sighed and said.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am grateful for the imperial doctors and rare medicines sent by Your Majesty these days. However, I know my own body well. I am afraid that I will have to see Emperor Taizu soon."
"I have been mediocre in my life and have not done anything for the country. In the last few days, I have been thinking about what I can do for my Zhu family. It is my blessing that your Majesty still remembers me. .”
"If your Majesty has any instructions, just say so. Although my old bones are short of time, I can still use them."
Zhu Qiyu was a little silent. His uncle had indeed lived a wanton and absurd life in the first half of his life, with ups and downs several times. Now he has indeed seen things more clearly.
However, when he said this, Zhu Qiyu didn't know how to speak for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Qiyu suddenly saw the tall and tall Zhu Yinqi standing behind the old King Min. After a moment of silence, Zhu Qiyu asked.
"If I remember correctly, after this year, Yin Xi will be nineteen, right?"
King Lao Min didn't say anything, but Zhu Yincheng himself bowed and said.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My birthday is on the twenty-fourth of the first lunar month. It will indeed be the nineteenth soon."
Looking at his eldest grandson, King Min had a kind smile on his face and said.
"I'm nineteen, it's time to be crowned..."
So Zhu Qiyu understood, smiled and said.
"Yes, it's time for the crowning, and the wedding should be prepared. Crowning the crown prince is a big event. In two days, I will summon the King of Zhennan to the capital, and he will preside over Yinxi's crowning ceremony."
King Lao Min's face was calm, and he didn't look surprised at all. He just cupped his hands and said.
"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace."
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "My uncle, King Min, has been in Beijing these days. I wonder if he knows the noble girls of each family. Is there anyone who is lucky enough to win my uncle's favor and be worthy of the title of Princess Zhennan?"
?”
This time, King Min hesitated. He glanced at Zhu Yinxi, hesitated for a moment, seemed to have made some decision, and said.
"Now that your majesty has spoken, I will not refuse with false words. I know that my time is short, and what I am most worried about is actually this matter. Among all the families, the daughter of Governor Fan Guang has a dignified appearance and is very in line with my wishes.
If your Majesty allows it, I would like to propose marriage for their two children."
Governor Fan Guang...
Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, seeming to be considering the intention of King Min's move.
However, it was only a short moment before he nodded and said.
"Since my uncle has spoken, it is a blessing for the girl from the Fan family. I will summon Fan Guang to the palace tomorrow to ask him. If there is no objection, I will grant Yin Zhen a hand in marriage."
This time, Old Min King did not continue to sit, but stood up holding on to the armrests of the chair, solemnly raised his hands and said.
"Then I am here. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness..."
Although Zhu Qiyu was in a hurry when he arrived, he was no longer in a hurry when he arrived at the palace.
After talking about Zhu Yinqi's marriage, he had a conversation with King Lao Min, and then ordered people to escort his grandfather and grandson out of the palace.
The snow outside the palace was falling, getting bigger and bigger, as if it wanted to bring the world a dazzling pure white.
However, no matter how heavy the snow is, it will always stop...
