Outside, Yuan Qingling and Princess Jinning were chatting with a group of children. Da Tou learned that he had an extra sister and was very happy. He and Dim Sum Erbao kept surrounding her to look at her.
Princess Jinning was very pleased to see that the children had such a good relationship, and said to Yuan Qingling: "Come here, Datou knows that he has a sister. I don't know how happy he is."
Yuan Qingling said with a smile: "You only have one child, so you are really lonely. Come this time, please stay longer and let him lively."
The princess said: "He is not lonely at all. He has a lot of playmates. It's just that this is his sister, so he naturally cares about her."
Yuan Qingling looked at the big head, which has a tiger head and round eyes. It is really cute and has the demeanor of a big brother. "Xiao Gua has so many brothers who love her. I am really happy."
Princess Jinning smiled and said: "In addition to her brother, she also has me as her adoptive mother. I don't care whether you agree or not, in short, Xiaogua is also my and Jingting's daughter."
As she said this, she went over to hug Guagua and kissed her forehead gently. When she came in, she hugged her first. Guagua smiled directly at her, making her full of joy and love.
Born spontaneously.
Yuan Qingling said with a smile: "Of course it is. That day you were pregnant with Datou, and I was pregnant with them. I said that if one person has a daughter and the other has a son, and they get married, they will be daughters, sisters, and sons.
They are brothers, Datou and Dim Sum are brothers, and Guagua is his sister, so it is justifiable to call you foster mother."
Princess Jinning sat down with Guagua in her arms, and gently touched Guagua's cheek with her fingertips. Guagua danced and smiled at her, revealing her pink gums. She liked it so much that she kept saying: "
This trip is said to be for the new emperor’s enthronement, but I’m here just for my goddaughter, and it’s not in vain!”
She raised her head and looked at Yuan Qingling, with a gentle smile in her eyes, "I have some gifts for her, but they are still on the way. We, the couple, are riding ahead. You must not be polite to us. You must accept them."
"
Yuan Qingling looked at the princess and said hurriedly: "How can this be possible?
We are already very grateful that you can come, so how can we ask for your gift?"
"As a family, don't talk about two families. If you give it to your child, just accept it. If you don't accept it, it will prove that we and I are outsiders."
Princess Jin Ning is generous, similar to Rong Yue in that the gifts she gives cannot be returned.
Yuan Qingling was moved and said: "You have said this, how can I not accept it?
Okay, I'll thank you on her behalf."
"Let her thank herself later, I'll wait."
The princess moved her eyes back to Xiao Guazi's face, looking at the starry eyes and apple-like cheeks, it was really hard to put it down.
When the princess noticed that Baozi was missing, she asked, "Where has my grandson gone?"
Yuan Qingling said with a smile: "He went to accompany the old man and will be back in a few days."
"So filial!"
The princess praised him.
During the dinner, the two men did not attend. Yu Wenhao took Jingting to the fourth master's place to raise money that day, but the fourth master did not come forward and hid. Yu Wenhao was still thinking about it. Today there are distinguished guests, how can he not
Come and give him a good meal?
This is mainly because all the princes are busy in their own way, and no one wants to pay attention to him. They can only come to the fourth master who is more free than him.
As a distinguished guest of Zhou Dynasty, the Fourth Master naturally tried his best to greet him. When Yu Wenhao got the opportunity, he criticized him and said that he didn't come to raise the money that day.
The fourth master didn't talk to him at first, but later Yu Wenhao showed more connotations, so he asked Yu Wenhao, "How much did you pay?"
With one sentence, Yu Wenhao was so stunned that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Then the fourth master asked again, "Besides not paying any money, how much did you get in vain?"
After the Fourth Master finished asking, he waited for him to look ashamed.
But the Fourth Master too underestimated Yu Wenhao's shamelessness. He smiled toothily, put his hand on the Fourth Master's shoulder, and said with a kind smile, "Family, why are you saying these things?
Come, drink, don't neglect Jingting."
Compared to Leng Zhai, the Prince of Chu's Mansion was much more lively. Yuan Qingling invited all the princesses and Yuan Qingping to come over to accompany him, and they all brought their children over. The children were playing and having fun, and it was very lively.
Sister Bao has always said that she wants to find Brother Baozi, and the same goes for Sister Xiu. In the past, Yuan Qingling never noticed that Baozi was so popular with her sisters. She only said that he loved to scold and control others, and no one liked to play with him.
Fortunately, Brother Baozi could not be found, and other brothers were with him. After dinner, Xue Lang and Xiao Hu were running around in the yard, and the whole Chu Prince's Mansion was almost in a boil.
Rong Yue also came here tonight with her children, a son and a daughter, who are beautiful and cute.
After another two days of this, someone from the palace came out to teach the palace rules and etiquette.
I originally wanted to start learning early in the morning, but Emperor Ming Yuan thought that there were not so many complicated things in the harem and he could just deal with them casually. Therefore, he just followed the ancestral teachings and walked through the process.
The entire capital, the entire Northern Tang Dynasty, has its eyes fixed on the capital, waiting for the handover between the old and the new.
The prince's benevolence and wiseness were well known all over the world, and the team he led was very courageous. Many famous people among the people began to predict that the Northern Tang Dynasty would be comparable to the Great Moon Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Emperor Ming Yuan announced to the outside world that his condition was getting worse. He occasionally met with a few old ministers, but usually he said he was tired without saying a few words, and sent people to leave, creating the appearance that he was really seriously ill.
An old minister secretly inquired with the imperial doctor and asked the emperor if he was in danger of Mount Tai collapsing. The imperial doctor bluntly told him that although he was not, the emperor no longer had the energy to take charge of the affairs of the government, and it would take a few years to recover.
At the same time, Emperor Ming Yuan also ordered people to renovate Meizhuang and poured 30,000 taels of silver into it.
Concubine Hu wanted to go with him, so Concubine Hu was already selecting people in the palace to bring with her. Emperor Ming Yuan meant that Eunuch Mu Ru would not go with him. He was familiar with everything in the palace, and he was the one in charge.
The position of general manager allowed the new emperor to quickly become familiar with the palace and could also control the people in the palace to avoid trouble.
As for the people below who could do things, he didn't take away any of them. He only took a few people who could serve him properly. As for the guards, he asked Gu Si to point out a few people who were good at martial arts.
After arranging all this, he summoned the queen and the concubines and asked them who would like to go to Meizhuang with him.
Originally, he could issue an edict, but he thought it was not necessary. Meizhuang could never be compared to the palace, or even to their son's mansion. After he abdicated, those who had sons could go to his son's mansion to enjoy the blessings.
Wouldn't it be better?
Except for the imperial concubine, everyone said they were willing to go, but only they knew whether they meant it or not.
When Emperor Ming Yuan said that they could choose to go to the prince's residence, they all changed their minds and said that they would accompany their son first and then go to Meizhuang to serve the emperor.
Emperor Ming Yuan did not force anything, and said: "Okay, you can just decide for yourself. I won't force you."
Abdicating the throne, without the blessing of the emperor's light, after arriving at Meizhuang, even the noble status has to be given up. This is naturally not what everyone is willing to do. In addition, since the concubine Hu entered the palace, the emperor has alienated them even more, so what's the point of following them?
What to use?
They were ordered to retreat, but the queen stayed in the palace and couldn't help but express her worries.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is the queen of the palace. Once the prince ascends the throne, my concubine and the imperial concubine will be divided... What do you think?
After all, the prince still has his biological mother, the concubine. Although the concubine is dead, she is probably going to posthumously be crowned the Queen Mother, right?
Then, should the status of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager be that of a concubine or an imperial concubine?
You can't just install the three empress dowagers when the prince ascends the throne, right?"
