On this day, Jin Lingyi first gave birth to a son and a daughter, and then Lan Ning gave birth to a grandson, just over half an hour later.
Concubine Fu was both happy and in a hurry. She ordered the imperial doctor to go to these two mansions for examination and report to the emperor.
The Emperor is here to pay a farewell visit to Duke An Guo. Tomorrow Duke An Guo will go to the frontier fortress with an imperial edict. He will confer Yizhi the title of Chanyu, Qihou of Yan, and confer the title of Great General of Dingbei on the fifth prince.
At the same time, there were also rewards for various countries in the Western Regions.
From then on, Yi Zhigui was commonly known as Nan Danyu, and King Ri Zhu was called Northern Danyu.
The northern and southern Chanyus were bounded by the North Sea and had been in stalemate for hundreds of years.
In the past hundred years, the borders of Daxia have experienced unprecedented stability and prosperity.
We have established trade with many countries that we have never had any contact with before, and there is an endless flow of business travel.
"Your Majesty, your majesty is very happy after hearing the good news about these two princesses." Wei Zhong came back happily to report, "I have ordered someone to make a reward list, and I want to reward the two princes and concubines!"
"It doesn't matter whether you are rewarded or not. The key is that both adults and children are safe." Concubine Fu said, "The imperial doctors who have gone back must ask them to report to me personally when they come back, so that I can rest assured."
"Don't worry, your Majesty, the two princes and concubines are in good health!" Wei Zhong said, "When the children are one month old, bring them into the palace and let your Majesty have a good look at them."
Concubine Fu thought for a while and said, "Lao Wu is not at home, and Lan Ning has recently given birth. Go out of the palace, bring Lin'er in, and put her beside me to take care of her, so that Lan Ning won't be distracted."
"Yes, yes, I am happy to see you here." Wei Zhong said hurriedly, "Does your Majesty have any other instructions? I will leave the palace right now."
On the second day, Princess Guangling entered the palace.
Concubine Fu and she both came to talk to the concubine.
Concubine Fu asked the princess: "When did the Duke set out today?"
"I left the city before dawn." Princess Guangling said, "It's cold and there is still snow on the road. Even if you ride a horse, you can't go fast, so you have to get up early and stay late every day."
"Yes, the further north you go, the colder it gets. It's been really hard for Mr. Guo," Concubine Fu said.
"Well, he doesn't feel it's hard, he's very happy! This is such a glorious thing." Princess Guangling said with a smile, "What's more, he hasn't seen Lao Wu for a long time, and he is also thinking about it."
"That's true. Spring will bloom when the Duke comes back." Concubine Fu said with a smile, "You can see a lot of beautiful scenery along the way."
"The Emperor will also summon the fifth child back this time. Concubine Li will give birth in a few days. I heard that the Emperor will wait until the child is one month old to grant a general amnesty to the whole world." Princess Guangling said, "The Huns were pacified and they didn't even mention a general amnesty. It seems that the Emperor
I really care about this unborn tenth prince."
"Let's just say this behind closed doors," said Concubine Rong, "but don't let anyone spread it."
"That's not possible," Concubine Fu said. "The emperor believes in Qingque's words and pays special attention to this child."
"Speaking of children, I went to Ling Yi and Lan Ning's place yesterday." Princess Guangling took a sip of tea and said, "Both their children are white and fat, and they look very cute."
Then he said: "Didn't you say that Lin'er entered the palace? Why didn't you bring him over?"
"He's still asleep." Concubine Fu said with a smile. "As soon as I moved into the palace, I inevitably had to coax him to play more. This child is at his naughty time. He went to bed most of the night last night. I'll see you when I get up early.
He was sleeping deeply, so I asked people to watch him so as not to wake him up, and then feed him when he woke up."
"But, he is a child, and he is not old enough to study and read. He just eats and plays." Rong Taifei said, "When he woke up later, I asked him to come to my place. I haven't been here for a long time.
Saw him."
"That's all, you're like a monkey in hunting. You might as well get into trouble if you come to our ancestors." Concubine Fu said.
"Look, what you're talking about is that you broke something and what's the big deal," Princess Rong said with a smile, "I just won't ask you to pay for it."
"At this age, I just want to have children and grandchildren around my knees." Princess Guangling couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know when I can hold my grandchildren?"
"If you have a son, why are you worried about a grandson?" Concubine Rong glanced at her and said, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will make a lot of noise and you will be annoyed!"
"I finally figured it out," Princess Guangling said mockingly, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, not to mention that his wings are getting stronger and stronger now. If he has his own opinion on everything, I will turn a blind eye.
Forget it."
"You're right to think so," Princess Rong also said with a smile, "What's more, Ming'er's child, although he doesn't like to talk about it, he knows it in his heart and sees things clearly!"
"It is said that people are divided into groups. Ming'er and Lao Wu have been getting along with each other since they were young. This time in the north, they are two brothers who have made great achievements together. The emperor trusts him the most. What else can the princess be worried about?" Fu
The concubine also said.
Just as Xue Hengzhao came in with three bowls of tea, Concubine Rong smiled and said: "I'm thirsty after talking for a long time. Let's drink a bowl of tea quickly to moisten your throat!"
Princess Guangling looked at Xue Hengzhao and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to have gained some weight."
"My slave has been able to eat better than usual recently," Xue Hengzhao responded, "Princess, what I saw is not bad."
Princess Guangling took a sip of tea and nodded: "This tea tastes really good. I have drank the tea you offered many times and I have never rewarded you with anything!"
"It is the slave's duty to serve the master, how dare you ask for a reward? It is an honor enough to be praised by the princess." Xue Hengzhao said tactfully.
"If you ask me, you should be rewarded," Princess Rong took over, "Don't feel sorry for her, she has a lot of good things!"
One sentence made everyone in the room laugh.
"Girl Hengzhao, come here." Princess Guangling smiled and pulled out a hairpin from her head, "This Ruyi hairpin is my favorite hairpin, I will give it to you today! Since your tea is good
, and it’s also because you have served the Dowager Empress with all your heart for a long time.”
After saying that, he gently put it on Xue Hengzhao's head, and Xue Hengzhao had to thank him.
Concubine Fu and Concubine Rong looked at each other and smiled, both understanding the deep meaning.
It has always been a rule that before a man and a woman get married, the man's elders must come to the woman's side to see each other, and the woman must prepare a tea treat.
After drinking tea, if the groom's elders are not attracted to him, they will order someone to bring him a piece of colored satin as a gift, which is called "pressure" because "satin" has the same pronunciation as "break", which means that the marriage will not work out.
If you like it, you will give a hairpin as a gift, which is called "inserting hairpin", which means that the relationship is determined.
Now Princess Guangling put her favorite hairpin on Xue Hengzhao's head with her own hands on the pretext of rewarding Xue Hengzhao. The meaning is already obvious.
What's more, it's a Ruyi Chai, which shows that she is very satisfied with Xue Hengzhao.
Princess Guangling didn't hate Xue Hengzhao at all. This was because she was forced by the previous situation and had no choice.
More importantly, Concubine Rong was particularly fond of Xue Hengzhao and worked hard to bring her and Yu Guming together.
Princess Guangling would certainly not object to the person chosen by her mother.
