Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

"gave birth!"

The cry of a baby filled the air, and the Lu residence was filled with joy.

Hearing the news, the queen stood up suddenly and asked excitedly, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, it's a little prince!" The midwife who came out of the palace was all smiles.

Your Highness?

The Queen shook her body, feeling both sad and happy: "Quick, tell His Majesty the good news."

When she turned around and was about to talk to Lu Bozhou, she found that Lu Bozhou had rushed into the delivery room despite the midwife's obstruction.

"Jinglan, how are you?"

The delivery room was filled with the smell of blood, but Lu Bozhou seemed not to smell it and rushed directly to the bed.

He grabbed Li Jinglan's hand and asked, "How are you?"

Li Jinglan was extremely weak at this time, but she still forced herself to smile: "Not bad."

After saying just these two words, she seemed to have used up all her strength and closed her eyes to breathe.

Lu Bozhou had never seen Li Jinglan so weak before, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Thank you!" Lu Bozhou held Li Jinglan's fingers, and all his words were expressed in this one word of thank you.

Li Jinglan hummed and felt very tired, extremely tired.

In a daze, she asked softly, "Is the queen outside?"

Lu Bozhou nodded: "Your Majesty came in the middle of the night! The court has an order that the palace gates cannot be opened late at night. Your Majesty asked for His Majesty's order before leaving the palace."

Li Jinglan knew that Lu Bozhou never said useless words.

This was to tell her that the emperor and the empress cared about her very much and were willing to break the palace curfew for her.

Li Jinglan tilted her head towards Lu Bozhou and said softly, "Now that I'm a mother, I understand how difficult it is for a mother. Your husband must be filial to the queen and Princess Jin in the future."

By the time she finished saying this, she had used up all her strength.

With my eyes closed, I seemed to have lost the strength to breathe.

At this time, the Queen and Princess Jin were standing at the door, waiting for the midwife to bring the baby out.

They both heard Li Jinglan's words at the same time.

Princess Jin couldn't help but glance at the Queen.

The queen said nothing, but the corners of her lips were raised high.

The midwife took the baby out.

The queen's eyes were now fixed on the child and nothing else.

"So like!" the queen murmured softly.

It looks exactly like Lu Bozhou when he was just born.

"Sister-in-law, look at this child and see if he looks like Zemei when she was a child." The Queen happily turned sideways to let Princess Jin look at the child in her arms.

Princess Jin just leaned over to take a look, but didn't reach out to take it: "Very similar."

The Queen's attention was entirely on the child, she lowered her eyebrows and chuckled, "Looks like my Zemei!"

……

In the court, the emperor supported his chin with his hand, leaned against the dragon throne, and watched the ministers quarreling below.

He seemed relaxed on the surface, but actually he was thinking about Li Jinglan.

Will this happen?

Boy or girl?

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

The emperor's thoughts were interrupted by Lord Wang.

The emperor looked at the elder Wang below and signaled with his eyes, "My dear minister, please speak."

Lord Wang knew that His Majesty was waiting for news from the Lu Mansion, and he felt a little uneasy, so he repeated what he had just said.

"Since the riot of the salt workers at the Songjiang Salt Field last year, the production at the salt field has not been restored. The salt produced in Songjiang this year is one third less than in previous years..."

"If this continues, the price of salt in the capital will rise. I suggest transferring salt from Shaanxi and Sichuan to stabilize the price of salt."

The emperor looked at the chief steward of the canal and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Chen?"

The chief transport officer came out and said: "I have no objection to transporting salt to the capital! There is only one thing I need to report to Your Majesty: Now that the summer harvest is over, we are transporting grain from the south to the north."

Transporting grain from the south to the north means transporting grain from the south to Huai'an first, and then to Xuzhou.

Then it was transported to Tongzhou area.

"It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport grain from the south to the north. One shipment requires the mobilization of 120,000 soldiers and 20,000 grain ships. Now there is no spare capacity to transport salt north."

The chief transport officer bowed his head and said: "I suggest that we transport salt from the vicinity of the capital to ease the worry about the price of salt."

What the Grand Canal Transport Manager said made sense, and many ministers nodded slowly.

Just as the emperor was about to speak, the eunuch Liu Quan came forward and whispered something in his ear.

The emperor was completely occupied by the joy of Li Jinglan giving birth to a boy, and he stood up with a happy face:

"Today's morning court session has been postponed. All matters will be discussed the next day."

"The royal family has been childless for many years. Today, Lady Li gave birth to a child, which is a great joy for the country."

The emperor laughed loudly, "Tell the Ministry of Rites to make this boy the Prince of Lu. Zemei is the eldest son, handsome and majestic, so make him the Prince of Pei. His wife, Lady Li, has made contributions to the country, so make her the Princess of Pei."

Become a king? Become a queen?

All the ministers understood: Lu Bozhou's child was born.

The emperor walked down the steps, beaming with joy: "All officials above the fifth rank, follow me to the Prince of Pei's mansion to congratulate the birth of Prince Lu."

"Pass on my decree: Prince Pei will open his government office today, and all officials above the fifth rank in all departments will be subordinate to Prince Pei's government office!"

"From today on, on the first day of the first month and the winter solstice, all officials above the fifth rank must go to the Prince of Pei's mansion to hold a banquet and enjoy the court ceremony! The band used is the New Moon and Full Moon Court Band. When you raise your wine, you will enjoy the court music."

"Ministry of Rites, Imperial Clan Temple, and Imperial Clan Affairs Bureau, listen to my order and quickly select an auspicious day. I will take Zemei and Prince Pei to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to worship our ancestors and play the ancestral temple music."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, everyone in the court changed color.

New Moon and Full Moon Court Music Orchestra? Court Music? Ancestral Temple Music?

Lu Bozhou did not have the title of crown prince, but he was the crown prince in reality.

Only the crown prince could receive congratulations from officials of the fifth rank and above on New Year's Day and Winter Solstice.

Only the Crown Prince could enjoy the court etiquette and the New Moon and Full Moon court band.

Only the crown prince could enter the Taimiao to offer sacrifices.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the prince in the hall.

The prince lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Only her lips were tightly pursed.

The emperor led his ministers to Lu Bozhou's home.

A city gate in the capital.

A ragged man huddled up and followed the crowd out of the city.

As soon as I reached the city gate, I saw several soldiers holding portraits for comparison.

A guard at the gate asked curiously, "Who is this? He actually asked the Dali Temple to issue a warrant for arrest."

"No matter who he is, we just need to arrest him according to the picture." The soldier shook the portrait.

When it was the man's turn, the soldier shouted coldly, "Raise your head."

The man raised his head, revealing a bloody face.

A scar ran from the eyebrow to the mouth, dividing the face into three halves.

The scar was bleeding and maggots were wriggling inside.

The soldier just felt disgusted and yelled, "Get out of here now, damn it!"

The man lowered his head and followed the crowd, trembling as he walked out of the city.

After leaving the city, the man did not stay for long.

Instead, it headed straight for a stream.

When he ran to the stream, he used the stream water to wash the wound on his face.

The stream water touched the wound, and it hurt so much that I grimaced.

Clean the wound.

The man immediately disappeared into the dense forest on the side of the road.

"It's been a few days since Zhou Jin got the stuff, but there's no news... Didn't he send the news to Lu Bozhou?"

The man walked and thought: "Except Lu Bozhou, no one else in this world is willing to fight the prince to death."

"For the sake of hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, I must meet Lu Bozhou."

The man identified the road, lowered his head and walked forward.

The direction he was heading was Nanli County.

On the official road, several fast horses were galloping forward.

The people on the horse kept showing a portrait to the roadside: "Do you see the person in the portrait?"

"I didn't see it! I don't know."

The man on the express horse asked from morning to night, but didn't get any information.

As they were about to leave the capital, several horses stopped.

"Damn, where can he go?" A man on horseback tightened the reins and frowned.

"We must find him! He is in charge of the accounts of the Zhanshi Mansion. If what he has is leaked out, the prince will be in danger."

The man on horseback looked down at the album.

There was a name written on the album: Wei Yan, a servant of the Prince's Secretariat.

boom!

An explosion suddenly sounded.

The people on horseback all turned their heads.

But I saw several fireworks flying in the capital.

Immediately afterwards, countless fireworks flew high into the sky.

"Why set off fireworks when it's not a festival?" someone whispered and scratched his head.
