Records of the King of Xin'an County

During the court meeting the next day, many people noticed that the sage seemed to be slightly happy, and seemed not in the mood to continue listening to the audience to discuss trivial matters.So, after the court meeting ended quickly, a group of old foxes couldn't help arguing with each other: Could it be that something happy happened in this palace overnight?

The king of Xin'an was naturally the most well-informed, and he met Princess Changning without any effort, and learned the "good news" about Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen.He couldn't help being stunned, thinking about the pitiful common sense of women's childbirth in his heart: "Didn't you say that you are pregnant in October? It's less than one month anyway?" Poor him, in the tens of years of past and present lives, he has never done it before. Father, of course, does not understand this kind of thing.

"Oh, isn't it?" Princess Changning smiled sarcastically, "It's nothing more than an accident with the first baby, and the two babies are scrambling to land first. Are all the people in the palace stupid? After a period of time, I was indeed raised a little higher, and my heart grew bigger, and I dared to use the prince in my belly to calculate! I didn't think about it carefully, if my grandfather came back to his senses, how could he spare them these petty thoughts? ?”

Without thinking too much, Li Hui could already guess the invisible fighting in the Tai Chi Palace these days.It's no wonder that even at the Shangsi banquet yesterday, Empress Du excused herself from being unwell and never went out.If she hadn't been able to sit in the palace, and hadn't frequently taken action to protect Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen, how could Concubine Yang Xian and Yuan Shu allow them to give birth in peace?

"Is it the prince or the princess?" Naturally, the addition of a child in the palace is a matter of great joy, and all the officials are probably watching closely.

"It's not born yet." Princess Changning said, her face turned slightly pale, "It is said that she has been crying all night." When Empress Du gave birth to Princess Yongan, she almost lost her life, leaving an indelible shadow on her. .Now that Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen are still having such a hard time giving birth in less than a month, she feels a little chill in her heart.

The two cousins ​​are not yet married, so they simply stopped talking about such half-knowledgeable matters, and instead mentioned the trend in the court.But Princess Yong'an didn't want them to change the subject, and repeated persistently: "It must be the younger sister." The two half-brothers who were concubines treated her badly, so she didn't want a half-brother!If it's my sister, maybe I can teach them to dress up and play together.Even if Shouniang returns to Luoyang in the future, she won't feel too sad.

"It's my sister...it must be my sister." Princess Changning comforted with a smile, with a little carelessness, apparently not believing such childish words.She was about to continue discussing the matter just now, when she raised her eyes, she saw her confidant maid hurriedly approaching.She couldn't help but look at Li Hui, and narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "How? But you came to announce the good news to us?"

"Yuan Caisheng gave birth to three princesses." The court lady reported in a low voice, "Just before and after Yang Meisheng gave birth to four princesses, and both mother and daughter were safe." As for the "good news" that the princess was born Afterwards, whether the two people who lost all strength and passed out were extremely happy or disappointed was beyond their ability to speculate.

Li Hui looked down at Princess Yong'an, and suddenly couldn't help asking: "Wanniang, how many younger siblings will Shouniang have?" The little nephew has just turned two months old and has not yet been named. It is said that Li Tai and Li Xin are both hanging I tried my best to think of a name for him, but I don't know who will decide on the final name.If this nephew is not Li Qiao, then maybe the next nephew should arrive immediately?He couldn't wait to meet the little guy.

"Two!" Princess Yong'an replied almost immediately, stretching out three plump little fingers.

"Is it two or three?" In an instant, Li Hui couldn't hide his joy, and became more eager, "Is the next brother or sister?"

Princess Yong'an looked at her fingers in bewilderment, lost in thought and confusion—should she trust her own words or her own hands?

Princess Changning looked at them and was speechless for a while.

Almost at the same time, Empress Du, who was entertaining Princess Pu Yan's family in the Anren Hall, also received good news.She thought of Princess Yong'an's swearing appearance last night, and she couldn't help but feel a little dizzy in her heart: "What are you still doing? Hurry up to the Liangyi Hall and report the good news to the saint, so that the saint won't worry. Comparing with the nine concubines, we will reward Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen!" As she spoke, she also supported Shang Gong to stand up slowly, "I should also go and see how many of their mother and daughter are."

Yan smiled softly: "The whole night must have been quite difficult. Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen should have a good rest for a while." Although the first childbirth has always been difficult, the women of the Tang family are not delicate. Almost everyone learns riding and archery at a young age, and they are not yet full-term, so they shouldn't have suffered so long.Presumably during these days, many unknown things must have happened in the palace.

Empress Du gave her a meaningful look: "After all, it's not a matter of course. I planned to let the imperial physician stay with them and take care of them for a few months." I also felt a little afraid, so I made the choice to produce in advance.As for Yuan Cairen, I'm afraid she is just not convinced, and she has tossed her body before, and now she tosses her body again, even the best body bones can be tossed to nothing.

Just when the two sisters-in-law were planning to go together to visit Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen, they ran into the palace servants beside Concubine Yuan Shu and Pei Cairen on the way.The two palace servants were happy, and said a lot of auspicious words, Fang said: "His Royal Highness Concubine Shu was going to visit Yuan Cairen, when he met Pei Cairen on the way, he invited her to go with him. I suddenly felt unwell, and the imperial physician diagnosed a four-month-old happy pulse."

"Sure enough, happiness is added to happiness." Queen Du curled her lips into a smile.four months?It is really well hidden, it seems that Pei Cairen is quite wary of Concubine Yang Xian, and is not at all worried about this cousin.Even "being unwell", it was really painstaking to choose the time to walk with Concubine Yuan Shu.How could she let all this hard work go to waste?Everything that Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen can get, Pei Cairen can naturally also get.

In the Palace of Eryi, the sage who heard the good news narrowed his pupils and laughed loudly: "Princesses? Good! Good!!" He was in his prime, and although his body was a little weak, he was not worried about not having children.Since a princess can be born, there will naturally be a prince in the future.Isn't Pei Cairen pregnant?Why wait a few more months?

All the ministers congratulated one after another, the joy on their faces was almost enough to make Liangyi Hall red, even more so than their own family.

Sitting far away in the corner, Wang Zixian congratulated the crowd together, looking at the high-spirited sage, for some reason, he felt a little sympathetic—at this moment, he felt that having many children is a blessing, but it may not be so in the future.The mothers of the third princess and the fourth princess wanted to fight over whether they were born or not, what else can't they argue about?If the third prince was born in the person of Pei Cairen, it is unknown what ups and downs it will cause.

——————————————————————————————————————

By the time it was time to go to Xiaya, the news that the third and fourth princesses had been added to the Taiji Palace had already spread.When the prince presented his horse and came to an elegant small courtyard in the east of Pingkangfang, the person who invited him to meet couldn't help laughing loudly: "Yang Mingdu must be more disappointed this time than anyone else! Haha! These days he Treating myself as an uncle of the country, the lines in the words are so majestic, and now I am really happy!"

"Is the misunderstanding between brother Mian and his cousin still unresolved?" Wang Zixian raised his lips, "Do you need me to mediate and let you shake hands and make peace? It was just a youthful spirit at the beginning, so why worry about it so much?" What about the year?" What he said was naturally very reasonable, but there didn't seem to be much sincerity in his words.

Zheng Qin, who looked up to the sky and laughed, seemed to have changed a lot, as if he could vaguely see the proud and confident appearance when they first met in the Imperial College.However, no matter what he looks like, Wang Zixian still firmly remembers that he was also one of the main messengers who promoted the rumor case back then.The friendship between the two was originally as thin as a piece of paper, so naturally there is no friendship now—maybe it is even more about hatred.

"You and I know each other very well, so there is no need to say anything false." Zheng Qin laughed and poured two glasses of wine himself, "The dispute between me and Yang Mingdu is no longer a dispute between emotions, but a dispute between light and darkness. A struggle between life and death."

"Oh? I don't know the meaning of 'light and darkness' and 'life and death'?" Wang Zixian took the wine glass and took a sip.

"I know, you don't trust me." Zheng Qin said again, "Of course I won't justify myself by saying that I was not foolish for a while and did something that made me worse. It's too light to make an apology. In the future If everything settles down, I will take the blame and ask for your forgiveness."

"When I was young, I only had the reputation of being the first in the world, and only Yang Mingdu who took the good name. Before I knew it, I became the same despicable and hypocritical person as him. However, after these few years After the turmoil, after watching dozens of people being deposed and questioned, I finally woke up and remembered why I wanted to study and become an official in the first place."

Speaking of this, Zheng Qin paused: "You shouldn't be interested in this, right?"

"No, I'm very interested." Wang Zixian said with a half-smile, "Who doesn't like to hear the story of the prodigal son turning back? I just don't know, how much should I believe."

Zheng Qin couldn't help but smiled wryly: "With our current friendship, it's really useless to mention these. I just want to tell you that I also have a passion and want to be loyal to the saint. It's just that as a mere ninth-rank school secretary, I don't have any loyalty to the country for the time being." It’s nothing more than my ability. Ever since I stopped inviting names, the people around me have been attracted by Yang Mingdu one after another. Only then did I realize that Yang Mingdu—or the Yang family—had evil intentions.”

"...Yang Shijing is my uncle, and Yang Qian is my cousin." Wang Zixian raised his eyebrows, "You actually exposed them as disobedient in front of me?" Could it be that they don't look like alike? Relatives?Obviously, a lot of gifts were given during the holidays, which took a lot of thought and energy from the servants of the Wang family.

"Is there such a shameless uncle and cousin in this world? I told you about two marriages, but in the end-" Zheng Qin snorted softly, "If you can bear such humiliation, then you will use all the words just now. Just tell Yang Mingdu."

"..." For some reason, Wang Yushi suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a little pleasing to the eye.
