Because last time, there were eunuchs in Concubine Hui's palace who went out to gossip. Now the people in Concubine Hui's palace were all arranged by Gao Ming himself. This time, the relevant insiders also handled the birth very cleanly, so there was basically no
Spread any news.
Just wait for four months and ten months after the imperial concubine enters the palace, and then the child can be announced to the public.
As for the difference between a three-month-old child and a newborn child, this is easy to deal with. At that time, we only need to have an imperial physician announce to the public that the child has some congenital cold syndrome and cannot see people or the wind.
Just stay in the palace for a few more months and then take her out to show to others when she is eight or nine months old.
A child who is eight or nine months old may be said to be five or six months old, but no one can tell.
At that time, the child's legal identity will be complete.
The eldest son of Emperor Hongde!
Although the status of the eldest son is far less useful than that of the legitimate son, once Empress Sun gives birth to a prince, most of the civil servants in the court will support the legitimate son in the future. However, Concubine Hui has done a great job in giving the emperor a prince.
Even His Majesty the Emperor, who was the Supreme Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, was quite excited at this time. After he ordered Gao Ming to do some aftermath work, he walked into the side hall in person, first looked at his eldest son for a while, and then
On the bed, I saw Gu Hengbo, who was already looking a little pale due to too much blood loss.
No, it should be said to be Concubine Hui.
Her skin was originally fair, but now because the blood on her face was gone and the light from outside came in, the skin on her face was almost transparent, which was quite endearing.
The emperor dismissed everyone and sat by the bed. Looking at Concubine Hui lying on the bed, he reached out and covered Concubine Hui with a quilt, and said softly: "My dear, it's hard work."
Concubine Hui was conscious now. She raised her head and looked at the emperor, her body trembling slightly: "Your Majesty..."
She stretched out her bloodless hand from the quilt and held the emperor's hand, her voice trembling.
"Your Majesty, no one can see our son..."
"Your Majesty, can you please send our mother and son out of the palace temporarily? I will find a place outside the palace to take care of the child for a few months..."
Her eyes were sincere and her tone was quite pitiful.
"After a few months, Your Majesty will take our mother and son into the palace again..."
There were some reasons why Concubine Hui said this to the emperor.
Because when she first entered the palace, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother brought the imperial doctor and forced their way into her palace to take her pulse.
At that time she was three months pregnant.
As long as the imperial doctor invites Ximai, even if the child in her belly is the emperor's, after the child is born, it will be impossible for her as a mother to survive in the palace.
If His Majesty the Emperor hadn't stood up and had a tough fight with the Queen Mother, she would have been unable to survive in the palace.
The emperor himself naturally knew the reason for this. He took Concubine Hui's hand and said softly: "Don't be alarmed, my beloved concubine. You can rest in peace and recuperate. There is no need for the emperor to hide himself. You mother and son will live here for a few months...
"
"No one will disturb you."
The emperor comforted him softly: "In a few months, I will make you a noble concubine."
Concubine Hui's eyes were red, she shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, I am from a humble background. Being able to enter the palace and serve Your Majesty is a kindness I have earned over many lifetimes. I don't dare to expect anything else. I don't ask for the status of a noble concubine.
I just hope that I can continue to stay in the palace to serve His Majesty in the future, and I will be satisfied..."
"From a humble background?"
The emperor glanced at her and said with a smile: "My dear concubine, you are confused. Your grandfather was Lu Zheng, the minister of Dali Temple, and he was ranked among the top nine ministers. How can you talk about being of low origin?"
"You are of high birth in the harem."
The emperor said calmly: "In terms of authority, the queen's family is far inferior to that of your grandfather."
Having said this, the emperor reached out and patted Concubine Hui on the shoulder, and said softly: "You don't have to think too much, rest in peace and rest, I will take care of everything."
He smiled at Concubine Hui who was lying on the bed and said, "After a while, I will be well taken care of, and maybe I can give birth to another prince."
This is just a little joke between husband and wife.
Concubine Hui's face turned red and she was a little embarrassed: "How could anyone want to have another child just after giving birth to a son..."
"I read in a book that the emperor cannot indulge in sexual desires..."
The emperor touched her face and said with a smile: "Which book? I asked them to change it."
After the young couple talked privately for a while, the emperor got up and left, walking to the next room. In the next room, he saw the swaddled baby.
The baby was awake at the moment. When he saw the emperor looking at him, he showed no fright and looked at the emperor in front of him seriously.
The more the emperor looked at it, the more he liked it. He reached out and picked up the child, put it in his arms, gave it a kiss, and said with a smile: "I have gained confidence."
For an emperor, there is no difference between having one son and a bunch of sons.
But there is a big difference between having a son and not having a son.
Only by having a son can he have his own heir and represent that the throne can continue to be passed down in his line. This means that after ten years on the throne, his throne is finally secure.
Although the current emperor is still very young, theoretically there should be no shortage of sons.
But until this kind of thing is realized, no one can say for sure. What if the emperor really doesn’t have a son?
Now that we have it, the emperor himself is naturally happy.
Because up to now, his throne has been secure and unshakable, both in terms of military politics and clan.
After His Majesty the Emperor teased the eldest son for a while, he went to see Concubine Hui again and stayed in this side hall for a whole day. It was not until dark that he left and returned to the Manlu Hall.
In the Ganlu Hall, memorial books piled up like mountains.
Because the emperor has not dealt with political affairs much today, the documents sent by the Zhongshu Ministry of Education are all piled up here.
An unknown anger surged into my heart.
"clever!"
He shouted.
Eunuch Gao had just finished his errands outside. Hearing this, he trotted over in a panic and knelt on the ground.
"His Majesty…"
The emperor said angrily: "Who is Zhongshu on duty?!"
It was getting dark now. According to the rules, one of the five prime ministers of Zhongshu Province would stay and spend the night in Zhongshu. Firstly, he would deal with some urgent matters, and secondly, he would wait for the emperor's call at any time and discuss important matters with the emperor.
Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cui is on duty today."
"Tell him to get over here."
The emperor pointed at these memorials and said angrily: "Move all these things back, don't you know what day it is, and you are bothering me with these nonsense!"
Eunuch Gao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "Yes, I will go and invite Prime Minister Cui to come over now..."
He cautiously withdrew, and as soon as he reached the palace gate, he was stopped by His Majesty the Emperor.
"return."
Eunuch Gao seemed to have expected it, and walked back carefully, bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, please give your orders."
The emperor rubbed his forehead and groaned: "Forget it, they really don't know what day it is. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with them."
The emperor sat back in his seat, looked at the ink pen at hand, then looked at the memorial on the table, and said angrily: "I will fight them to the end!"
At this moment, Emperor Hongde rekindled his fighting spirit.
Overwhelm the fighting spirit of civil servants.
"I'm younger than them, I don't believe I can't survive them!"
As he spoke, the emperor picked up the ink pen in his hand and looked at the thick stack of memorials in front of him.
He glanced at Eunuch Gao: "Gao Ming, come here and give me a pick."
Eunuch Gao was so frightened that he knelt down directly on the hand, kowtowed and said: "This slave must never dare..."
"I'm not asking you to pick out important memorials."
The emperor snorted: "You pick out some trivial things here for me, and I will give those old guys a slap in the face tomorrow."
Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment, then stood up, lowered his head and said: "Slave..."
