Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Inside Shouning Palace, Princess Ningguo was having breakfast.

Ever since Han Cheng, Zhu Di and others left the capital at a high speed to rescue Xu Da.

Empress Ma sent someone to the Marquis of Xingguo's Mansion that same day to bring her daughter, Princess Ningguo, to the palace.

She was also allowed to live in Shouning Palace.

She did this because she wanted to bring her daughter to her side to take better care of her, and the mother and daughter could have more time to spend together.

Secondly, it was the first time that Han Cheng was traveling far away and was not at home, so only her daughter stayed in the Xingguo Marquis Mansion. Empress Ma was a little worried that she would be too lonely.

Fortunately, Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang have kept Shouning Palace since Princess Ningguo got married.

It was the residence of Princess Ningguo when she returned to her parents' home.

All the arrangements are exactly the same as when Princess Ningguo was here.

From this we can see how much Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma loved their daughter Princess Ningguo.

This is the eighteenth day since Han Cheng left.

Princess Ningguo had never felt that the days were so long as they were now.

Such a long time has passed, why hasn't my husband come back yet?
This is the first time we have been separated for such a long time since my husband came into this world and met me.

For Princess Ningguo, she truly missed him every moment.

The days without my husband by my side are so boring.

Han Cheng left, taking her heart with him.

This made Princess Ningguo determined to learn how to ride a horse well in the future.

In this way, if I encounter a similar situation in the future, I can leave with my husband.

At the same time, I also regret that I didn’t persist before.

If she could hold on a little longer, she could get on the carriage and go with her husband.

Although she also knew that traveling quickly in a carriage, especially for long distances, and for a long time in an emergency, would definitely be a very unpleasant experience.

However, no matter how bad it is, it is better than the strong longing I have now.

In the morning, Princess Ningguo got up early and made breakfast.

Breakfast was simple, just egg pancakes.

Get some flour, add chopped green onions, some salt, then add eggs and appropriate amount of water and stir until it becomes a batter.

Add oil to the pan, heat it up, scoop a spoonful of batter and pour it evenly into the pan...

Princess Ningguo is quite skilled in this matter.

This is the breakfast my husband often makes.

Her husband likes to eat it, and she likes to eat it too.

So Princess Ningguo secretly wrote down the steps.

Now her heart is full of thoughts of her husband.

I made this egg pancake for breakfast without letting anyone else interfere.

After it was done, Princess Ningguo started eating here.

Princess Ningguo picked up some pancakes with chopsticks and put them into her mouth.

As a result, I just took two bites and I couldn't stop feeling nauseous.

I couldn't help but cover my mouth and retch.

After the retching feeling subsided, Princess Ningguo was a little stunned.

What's happening here?
My cooking skills have improved significantly compared to before.

How come I vomited when I ate the pancakes I made? ?

She couldn't help blinking, and blinking again.

Gradually I realized some things.

This... Could it be that the food I cook is really that bad?

If this is true, then it means that my husband was lying to me when he said that the food I cooked was delicious and he even finished all the food I cooked in one go?
When this thought came to her mind, Princess Ningguo suddenly felt complicated.

She was extremely anxious and wanted to laugh, but she also felt guilty because her husband doted on her too much.

This... How much suffering must my husband have suffered when he ate the food I cooked!

"Xiao He, this...is this pancake unpalatable?"

Xiao He shook her head and said, "That's great."

His cheeks were bulging with baby fat, and he was still chewing a pancake.

It looks like a little hamster with something hidden in its mouth.

After hearing what Xiao He said, Princess Ningguo's doubts were immediately dispelled.

Xiaohe would never lie to herself.

He immediately picked up the chopsticks again, picked up some more pancakes and put them into his mouth. However, after chewing them for just a few bites, he felt nauseous again and couldn't help feeling irritable and nauseous.

He started to dry heave again.

He was retching and his eyes were filled with tears!

Xiao He hurried over and patted her on the back and handed her water.

Ning Guo straightened up and rinsed his mouth with a sip of the water Xiao He brought.

I didn't care about the tears in my eyes or the churning in my stomach.

I was particularly anxious.

It's over! This is now completely confirmed!

The food I cooked myself was not very tasty.

I ate so much that I vomited!

My husband must have suffered so much before this!

Xiao He was also helping to keep it a secret from me.

Before I think about myself, I cooked for my husband very enthusiastically, and my husband ate a lot every time.

Even when praising the deliciousness of the food, she couldn't help but blushing.

And full of heartache.

These days, my husband has been really hard at work!
"Your Highness, are you...are you pregnant?"

Just as Princess Ningguo was thinking this.

Xiao He, who seemed a little anxious at the side, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind and thought of something!

He quickly spoke while looking at Princess Ningguo.

There was a lot of excitement in the voice.

When Princess Ningguo heard Xiaohe say this, her heart trembled.

I suddenly thought of this aspect.

This... this seems... seems like it's really possible that I'm pregnant!
At this moment, all the things I learned these days about the possible symptoms of pregnancy emerged in my mind!
The more I thought about Princess Ningguo, the more excited I became, and the more I felt that I really was pregnant.

"Your Highness, I will go get the imperial physician right away!"

Xiao He jumped up and said with surprise.

Princess Ningguo said hurriedly: "Well...Xiaohe, why don't we wait a little longer.

What if...what if it was all a false alarm?

I just had some reactions, I’m not sure yet…”

Xiao He said: "Your Highness, you are most likely pregnant!

It would be more reassuring if I asked the imperial physician to come and take a look."

As he spoke, he ran away quickly.

Princess Ningguo was truly surprised and happy, yet still a little nervous.

By the way, I have been with my husband for such a long time.

I have never been pregnant.

Princess Ningguo was looking forward to having a child with her husband.

However, because she had not been pregnant for a long time, she gradually stopped thinking about these things.

Gradually I got used to the days when I was not pregnant yet.

That’s why when I retched, my first reaction was not that I was pregnant, but that the food I cooked was too bad and I vomited…

But now, after Xiaohe's reminder, all the knowledge she had learned about pregnancy appeared in her mind.

After calculating the date again, I felt that there was a great possibility that I was pregnant.

It has been forty days since she last came, and there is still no movement.

It has never lasted this long in the past!

This...Princess Ningguo was surprised, happy, and extremely nervous.

After waiting for a while, Xiao He soon came hurriedly with the imperial physician.

Both Xiao He and the imperial physician were running out of breath.

From this we can see Xiao He's anxiety and joy.

After the imperial physician arrived here, he saluted respectfully to Princess An Ning.

Then he began to take Princess Ningguo's pulse.

Xiao He and Princess Ningguo were both nervous at this time, and all their attention was focused on the imperial physician's fingers.

He paid close attention to every move of the imperial physician, fearing that he might miss any news.

Both of them had their hearts in their throats.

After a while, the imperial physician withdrew his hand and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He stood up, bowed deeply to Princess Ningguo, and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness. Your Highness, you are pregnant!"

In a word, Princess Ningguo was both surprised and delighted at once.

I was so excited that tears welled up in my eyes.

Great, great!
I have my husband's child!
She didn’t know how long she had been thinking about it and how long she had been waiting for it. At this moment, her dream finally came true!
For women of this era, not being able to have children is a particularly big blow.

She would feel extremely uncomfortable without anyone saying anything.

Princess Ningguo felt that her husband was so outstanding.

If she couldn't give birth to a child for her husband and leave offspring, she really wouldn't be able to get over it!
For such a long time, this matter has been like a huge stone weighing on her heart.

It must be heavy!
She couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep.

Now, I am finally pregnant.

This is truly a huge surprise for Ningguo!

Xiao He also jumped for joy.

I am truly happy for His Highness.

She knew very well how much her princess wanted to have a child.

I have worried and anxious about this.

She even doubted herself for a time, wondering if she could have children...

Now it’s okay. Now that Her Highness is pregnant, there is no need to worry anymore.

After being delighted, he hurriedly bowed slightly to express his gratitude to the imperial physician who was standing there with a happy look on his face.

The imperial physician was so panicked that he kept waving his hands.

He said he was just here to diagnose...

Princess Ningguo asked Xiaohe to take out a ten-liang gold ingot and give it to the imperial physician.

The imperial physician declined repeatedly, saying it was not necessary.

But Princess Ningguo still gave the gold to the imperial physician.

These are some of her thoughts.

The imperial physician had no choice but to accept the offer and left in great joy.

This joy was also conveyed to him at once...

……

"Is Rong happy?!"

In Kunning Palace, Queen Ma was feeding chickens.

After hearing the news, he exclaimed in surprise.

He even ignored the old hen and a dozen or so fluffy chicks that had just hatched from their shells in front of him.

He grabbed two handfuls of grain from the gourd and threw them on the ground. Then he started walking and strode towards Shouning at high speed.

She was particularly anxious. After all, this was her own daughter!
And he is the most favored one!
Now that she's pregnant, how could she, as a mother, not be worried?

And she also knew how difficult it was for her family to have this child.

How much pressure do I bear in my heart?

Now that she is pregnant, not only is Rong happy, but she, as a mother, is also particularly happy!
……

"Yourong! Yourong!"

As soon as she arrived, Queen Ma couldn't help but shout out.

"mother!"

Hearing Queen Ma's call, Princess Ningguo came out and called out to Queen Ma with a smile.

Empress Ma hurriedly said, "Slow down! Slow down! My dear, things are different now than before.

There is another baby in my belly, I dare not walk so fast!"

After hearing what Queen Ma said, Princess Ningguo smiled embarrassedly.

“Mom, it’s okay.

I'm just pregnant, and my daughter doesn't feel anything yet."

Empress Ma stepped forward to support Princess Ningguo and said, "That won't work either, you'd better be careful.

The earlier the stage, the more careful you need to be!"

Empress Ma had given birth to several children, so she knew a lot about this.

However, she had never been so nervous when she was pregnant.

But now it's different.

Now that my daughter is pregnant, I must be more careful.

Just like many people, when they are sick or feel uncomfortable, they don’t care at all.

But the same principle applies to family members who get anxious and angry if they have a headache or fever.

Then, Queen Ma asked many questions about Princess Ningguo.

After some questioning, Empress Ma told Princess Ningguo what they needed to pay attention to.

As someone who has been through it, and a mother herself.

These must be taught to Princess Ningguo.

Including eating, moving, sitting and lying down and so on.

After saying this, he lowered his voice and looked at Princess Ningguo and said, "Besides this, there is another very important matter.

You have children now, and your bodies are fragile than before.

After Han Cheng’s child comes back, you guys should stop... doing that.

This is something you must pay attention to, especially in the first three months.

After three months, there is some improvement.

But be careful not to squeeze your stomach...

Also, in the next three months, these things will also be prohibited..."

Queen Ma spoke very solemnly to Princess Ningguo.

Princess Ningguo blushed when she heard this.

But he still nodded seriously and kept these words in mind.

"But, anyway, we can't treat this child too unfairly."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao He in the distance.

"Fortunately, we have Xiao He here. You two have been together for a long time and have a deep sisterly bond. Xiao He is also a very reliable person.

Having her here is a good helper."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his voice even lower and whispered into Princess Ningguo’s ear, “But… we can’t let Xiaohe do it all.

Otherwise, the relationship between you and Han Cheng will fade over time.

Although there are some things that absolutely cannot happen.

However, there are other ways...

for example……"

What Empress Ma whispered made Princess Ningguo's face turn even redder.

She nodded shyly, indicating that she would remember it...

In fact, even if Empress Ma didn't tell her, she knew this method, and she had used it many times before...

Empress Ma stayed here until it was almost dark before returning to Kunning Palace.

And she cooks for her daughter herself.

It’s light and nutritious...

The news that Princess Ningguo was pregnant was soon known to Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

There was a festive atmosphere inside the palace.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao and others were also delighted from the bottom of their hearts.

On the next day, the Princess of Qin, the Princess of Jin, the Princess of Zhou and others all came to Shouning Palace to visit Princess Ningguo.

Princess Ningguo was talking to these sisters-in-law, and the atmosphere was very good...

When Shouning Palace finally quieted down, Ning Guo sat here and couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his belly.

My stomach is still flat and I don't feel anything else.

But Princess Ningguo could feel that a small life was growing here.

It’s a pity that my husband is not around at this time. I wonder how happy he will be when he comes back and gets this news!
Thinking of this, Princess Ningguo couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile on her face, and she was full of anticipation.

I really want to see my husband and see how he will feel when he returns and learns the news.

I think when that time comes, my husband will be especially happy!

……

Han Cheng, Zhu Di and his entourage were riding south on horseback.

By now, Xu Da's condition has completely stabilized and is unlikely to worsen.

Xu Da was already able to get out of bed and move around on his own, and could even walk long distances.

I am feeling better day by day.

After confirming that Xu Da was fine, Han Cheng, Zhu Su, and Zhu Di led their troops south.

Xu Da also set out for Beijing on the same day.

He just wanted to go back quickly, so he immediately made various arrangements and took care of everything Han Cheng had mentioned about finding the Northern Yuan Dynasty's royal court.

Xu Da didn't want to wait even a moment longer for this matter!

It would be best to find the location of the Northern Yuan Dynasty royal court in the shortest possible time.

In this way, he can quickly take action against the Northern Yuan Dynasty royal court!
Destroy it!

Xu Da really had a deep obsession with the Northern Yuan Dynasty court.

I don't want to delay any longer.

Han Cheng and Zhu Di returned to the capital, but Xu Miaoyun did not come with them.

Instead, she went to Peking with her father.

She wants to show more filial piety to her father.

Even though Xu Da said that she didn't need to be around, Xu Miaoyun insisted.

The main purpose of Xu Miaoyun's trip this time was to supervise his father and prevent him from drinking.

She finally realized that there were some things that she still had to watch over.

For example, drinking.

Otherwise, no one can control their father.

Even if Xu Da said that he would not drink alcohol and would take great care of his health until the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, it would not work.

Xu Miaoyun also insisted on going to Peiping with him.

This time, Xu Miaoyun was really scared...

……

When I came back, I felt much more comfortable than when I left.

There is no need to rush on the road anymore and dare not stop for even a moment.

More importantly, there is no huge stone weighing on my heart anymore!
“Second brother-in-law, how about… you also go to the emperor here, and don’t let the emperor find someone to calculate for you.

By the way, your sister-in-law and I have been married for a year or two, but there has been no progress.

Finally, my father asked someone to calculate and he said that Fengyang would be good for us.

So my father sent us to Fengyang.

You know what, it really works.

Not long after arriving in Fengyang, Miaoyun became pregnant and gave birth to a fat boy named Gao Chi.

Later, if I get pregnant again, it will be especially fast..."

On the way back, while chatting, Zhu Di looked at Han Cheng and spoke.

Han Cheng smiled and said, "Fourth brother, no need, this matter is not that particular.

Both of us are in very good health, so we will definitely have a child, it's just a matter of time.

There is no need to be so anxious.”

After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Di said no more.

However, he has already made up his mind to wait for another year or two. If there is still no movement between his second brother-in-law and his second sister,

Then I will go to my father privately and tell him about this matter.

Let father find someone to take a look at my second brother-in-law and the others.

This incident is a big deal!
He felt that although his second brother-in-law said that he didn't care and just let things take their course.

But in fact, I was more anxious than anyone else.

As someone who has been through it, he is clear about this.

As for King Zhu Su of Zhou, this fifth uncle also started to think about it.

I was wondering if there was any way to help my second brother-in-law, second sister and others improve the situation and solve this problem.

Having a baby is indeed a top priority!

He also felt that what his second brother-in-law said was just to comfort Yourong and others like him.

How could my second brother-in-law not want to have his own children?

Han Cheng didn't know what his two uncles thought.

If I knew, I could only sigh helplessly.

We have come from later generations to this era where the three worst unfilial acts are not having descendants.

In this matter, there is indeed a big difference between his thoughts and those of Zhu Di.
Some things cannot be explained in just a few words.

He is really not in a hurry about this matter...

……

I met Xu Da within four or five days of going there.

On the way back, it took more than ten days to reach the capital.

After arriving, several people went to see Zhu Yuanzhang first.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased and praised them highly.

But some things are different from what Zhu Di and others thought.

According to what they thought, this matter was done so beautifully that the emperor was very pleased.

Now that they are back, shouldn’t we prepare a few dishes to celebrate?
How come now... it seems like father is not prepared at all?
"Han Cheng, go to Shouning Palace quickly. There is a surprise waiting for you there."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and said with a smile.

Han Cheng was stunned when he heard this.

surprise?

What surprise?
I wanted to ask, but my father-in-law was keeping me in suspense and wouldn't tell me.
He didn't ask any more questions and quickly went towards Shouning Palace.

While walking on the road, I was still wondering what this surprise was.

After a moment, I had some idea in my mind.

My heart couldn't help but pound... (End of this chapter)
