Along with the laughter, the emperor walked into the Yongci Hall. Queen Cai raised her head and saw the emperor coming. She wanted to get up, but the little fat man hurriedly stepped forward, supported her, let her continue to sit, and sat down herself.
Standing next to her, she gently lowered her head and looked at her abdomen. Queen Cai's face turned red with embarrassment, and her eyes were filled with half fear and half joy, which she couldn't explain.
"I have a child, my child...hahaha, my eldest son~~"
The little fat man laughed and kissed the queen gently on the abdomen. This was for her eldest son. The queen frowned, muttered, and patted the little fat man on the back. Then the little fat man grinned.
He stood up and said: "How brave, how dare you fight against the emperor!"
Empress Cai stroked her abdomen, snorted coldly, and said, "I just beat you, what can you do?"
"Hehehehe..." The little fat man giggled, not seeing any of his previous majesty. Unknowingly, he thought he was from the landlord's family... Ahem, in short, the emperor was very happy and sat next to the queen.
He showed great respect for the queen, even...somewhat flattering. A man who is a first-time father, or a man who is about to become a father, is always very tolerant to the mother of his child.
"Tell me, what name should I give it?"
"My eldest son wants to be different and become a wise king like Yao, Shun, and Yu. What do you think about naming him Yao?"
"Hey, that's not right. Although Yao was a virtuous man, he still made concessions. It's not possible, it's not possible..."
"How about naming me Yu?"
"Liu Yu, how are you?" The little fat man asked and answered himself, then looked at Empress Cai beside him.
"Well, Your Majesty... I don't know if this is a boy or a girl..." Queen Cai asked worriedly, and the little fat man laughed and said, "Don't worry, when my eldest mother gave birth to my father, my father was taller.
I am a boy and have no female heirs. When my mother gave birth to me, I was also the eldest son. My father’s fourth heir is a girl. My eldest son will definitely be the eldest son of the clan and will become a great man in the world in the future!!"
Hearing what the little fat man said, Queen Cai not only did not feel at peace, but became even more sad. What if it was a girl... What if the little fat man... immediately noticed the worry on her face and said with a smile: "Mo
Don't worry, I won't be in my prime for a long time..."
Empress Cai's mood improved a little. She rolled her eyes at him, pushed him and said, "I want to take a rest. Your Majesty, please leave!"
The little fat man was not willing to leave like this. Naturally, he was still sitting next to her, still naming the child. Seeing that he was thinking about names in a long way, he even wanted names like Huang, Yan, and God of Agriculture.
When picking it up, the queen couldn't help it anymore, and said with some complaint: "You don't prepare for many state affairs, but you are here thinking of a name for your unborn child? No matter what you say, I will not think with you.
Famous!"
After a while.
"The name Yu is still not good. If he becomes emperor in the future, wouldn't he have to avoid even the word Yu? That would be very troublesome..." Empress Cai said seriously.
"It doesn't matter. After Emperor Xiaowen, the Tao Te Ching has to be avoided. What does this mean..."
.......
After learning that the queen was pregnant, all the officials were naturally happy. The emperor had no family affairs, so this might be the future crown prince. And among the officials, there was also some faint competition. They were competing, naturally.
Regarding the qualifications to teach the future crown prince, judging from the current situation, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cao Cao, and even Yuan Shu and Xing Ziang are all most likely to be powerful candidates.
The Han Dynasty did not distinguish between civil and military officials. Literary men could also fight on horseback, such as Zhang Wen, and warriors could also serve as officials in the court, just like Lu Zhi. Yuan Shu would also enter the temple sooner or later in the future, and it is very likely that he would serve as a Taiwei.
, Although Sun Jian was brave and had more military exploits, his status in the heart of the emperor was obviously not as good as Yuan Shu, his childhood playmate.
However, what the officials least expected to see was Yuan Shu coming to teach the future prince.
This guy...is a disciple of He Zizheng'er's Eight Classics...
It is said that "Gongyang Exegesis", which He Zi spent his whole life writing, is now in the hands of Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu comes to teach the prince in the future, how terrible it will be. He Zi's terror has affected two generations in a row.
It can't last another generation, but since Yuan Shu is leading his troops outside now, they can't do anything detrimental to him.
What the emperor is most afraid of is that they, the ministers of the court and central government, extend their hands to the military.
As for Cao Cao, it was not within the thinking scope of the ministers. To be honest, they did not think highly of this guy who came from a humble background and was a eunuch. In terms of status, Xun Yu was more suitable. Even Xing Ziang,
It was also suitable for this position. The little fat man didn't know about the fight among the officials. He had been in the palace for many days and never left.
The ministers did not disturb the emperor. They could understand the joy in the emperor's heart at this moment.
The little fat man had long forgotten about his previous tours around the world. He accompanied the queen all day long and read memorials at night. With Zhang He's eyewitness in the court, he could also control the deeds of the ministers at any time. Today's temples are more complex than before.
She felt much more stable, especially when the Queen Mother went to her grandfather's house and didn't know what she said. From then on, Song Feng no longer remained silent in the temple.
He actually started to become more active in doing things. Today, the temple is divided into multiple factions, including the aristocratic faction headed by Xun Yuan, the practical faction headed by Cao Cao, the moderate faction headed by Cai Yong, and the...warlike faction headed by Zhang Wen.
The faction can also be called the beheading faction, but fundamentally speaking, the main dispute is still between the two major forces.
The original force formed by Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Cui Shi, Zhang He, Zhang Jian, Xing Yong, Zhang Wen and others was also called the Jianning faction by others, while Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Chen Gong, etc.
The force formed by young people is also called the Xiping Faction, or the Imperial Party. The disputes between these two parties arise from the rise of newcomers and the gradual marginalization of the old. With the support of the Emperor, it is obvious that the Imperial Party is the bright side force.
More massive.
However, in reality, the Jianning faction still controls the most powerful areas such as the Three Dukes and the Shangshutai. The Imperial Party is just Jiuqing and the like, and they are still their subordinates. If it were not for the support of the emperor, they would not be able to rise at all.
Any waves and the situation gradually become more complicated. This is what the emperor wants to see. Only then can he get rid of the control of the temple by the veterans of Jianning.
Being able to have his own immediate confidants to form absolute control over the temple.
Compared with the hundreds of officials in the court, there is one person who is most delighted in the palace besides the little fat man.
When the little fat man saw the queen mother who was accompanying the queen and asking for her welfare, he felt a little bit resentful. It was not easy for him to stay with the queen for a while, and his mother always came over. However, the queen mother did not notice the expression of the little fat man. She
There was a smile on her face, and her eyes swept across Queen Cai's abdomen from time to time. She was full of kindness, Bian'er was about to have her own child...
Although she knew that there would be experienced palace maids to take care of the queen, she was still a little worried. She kept telling them what they needed to pay attention to, and even whispered something in Empress Cai's ear, which made the empress blush even more.
, unable to raise his head at all, the little fat man smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mom... There are palace maids here, they all understand..."
"well..."
The Queen Mother left here reluctantly. Before leaving, she warned the Emperor again and again not to bully the Queen.
After returning to Yongle Palace, she started to be busy again. Since Cai Zhaoji became the queen, she has been free. She spends the whole day accompanying Liu An, Liu Xie, and hugging little Raoyang. If they are not here, she will not tire of it.
The palace maid wanted to clean up the main hall, but she refused. This was the wedding place between her and Emperor Xiaokang, so how could she be allowed to clean it up?
She tidied up the hall carefully, swept the floor, and personally put several potted plants into the hall. She sat on the bed and asked the palace maid to get needle and thread. She wanted to knit clothes for her eldest grandson, and played with the needle and thread with a smile.
, but in her heart she couldn't wait to hold her eldest grandson in her arms as soon as possible. Thinking of her grandson's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh.
After knitting more than half of it, her hands were a little sore.
She is no longer young and can no longer do so many things.
Sitting quietly on the bed, she began to think, and she also had some random thoughts. If Emperor Xiaokang was still here and he saw her old state, would he still like her?
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and quickly asked the palace maid to fetch the bronze mirror.
Hold the bronze mirror and look at it carefully.
The Queen Mother suddenly laughed.
"He will still like it..."
Smiling, her expression gradually became dull.
Suddenly, tears streaked down her eyes.
"Your Majesty... you are going to have a grandson..."
