The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

When Xu returned to Ji's mansion, she was not in good spirits for a while, Ji Heng was afraid that she would be tired, so he still let the third aunt and fourth aunt take care of the affairs in the mansion for the time being.

Because Ji Heng left Beijing to recuperate his illness, he came back at this time, so the three aunts and the four aunts in the family discussed it and held a family banquet for him. Firecrackers were set off at home to remove the sickness on his body, so that he can recover in the future. healthy.

Ji Heng didn't refuse either.

Although Si Yiniang guessed that Ji Heng was disguised as a man, and knew that Ji Heng gave birth outside because of her pregnancy, she was still at home in the past few months, and she did not say or ask anything, because Know that this matter has a lot to do with it.

At this time when Ji Heng came back, Fourth Aunt paid more attention to Ji Heng, because it was still late spring and the weather was not hot, Ji Heng wore an extra layer of clothes, and the clothes were very loose, so I couldn't tell what his figure was, but From his slightly plump face and good spirits, it can be judged that the delivery was smooth and there was no danger.

Mrs. Xu sat on the imperial concubine's couch in a state of desperation. Ji Heng personally brought longan tea for her to drink, and pulled a stool to sit beside the imperial concubine's couch. Shi said, "Mother, don't be sad. Since the emperor has given you a gold medal to enter the palace at any time, when you miss him, just go to the palace to see him. It's not that you can't see him. Why worry so much? I'm sick."

Mrs. Xu looked at Ji Heng, and saw that Ji Heng had a peaceful expression. Because he had just confinement, he was well nourished during the confinement, so he was fatter than before, and there was some flesh on his face, so his face was even more white and delicate. Such as creamy fat, black eyes with spirit, just the appearance of a graceful body, plump and bright.

After the child was born, he lost the charm he had when he was pregnant, but Xu thought that if he wore women's clothes, no one would doubt him.

She blamed herself again, if Ji Heng hadn't been made into such a man and woman, she wouldn't be suffering from this kind of pain now.

If Ji Heng was a son, then she would naturally marry and give birth to a grandson for her, and it would be time for her to enjoy family happiness; If her grandson didn't enter the palace and married a well-matched family, she would visit him from time to time like Third Auntie, and even take her grandson home with her.

It's like this now.

Mrs. Xu said, "Qi'er is in the palace. Although the palace is the most prosperous place, we also know that there are murderous threats everywhere. It is really not a safe place for children to grow up. Although the emperor loves him, he is released. He was raised in the Qilin Palace, but after all, the emperor is an emperor, and he has a lot of things to do every day, so how can he spend so much time watching him? I'm lost, or lonely, but I'm outside the palace walls, I can only worry from afar, and my heart hurts a lot."

Ji Heng also felt uncomfortable when Xu Shi said this, but he is a man after all, and he knows the truth of breaking up when he is done, so he said, "Mother, your pity for him is enough. After all, he is a prince. It's good to adapt to the palace. Besides, the emperor loves him wholeheartedly, so he won't be wronged."

Xu shook her head, but was not moved by Ji Heng's words.

She looked at Ji Heng again, moved her mind, and said, "Heng'er, I think you should get married as soon as possible and have more children."

Ji Heng was stunned for a moment, he was a little confused about this matter now, besides, he was only 19 years old, in his opinion, it is not too late to get married even in his 30s, and he was unclear, so he really didn't want to harm a girls.

Ji Heng is not a person who is vague and hesitant, so he said to Xu, "Mother, let's not talk about this matter again recently. I am going to the southeast. I don't know when I will come back. I am engaged but can't come back to get married. Let the ladies wait." , it’s not good either.”

When Xu heard what he said, she suddenly burst into tears. When she was young, she was very stubborn, and she would not shed tears when she was wronged. Now that she is older, she is often sad and shed tears easily.

Seeing Xu's crying, Ji Heng was flustered, and while wiping Xu's tears with a handkerchief, he said, "Mother, why are you crying? If you have something to say, just scold me if you don't like me. Cry, let me know what to do."

Crying and choking, Xu said, "Look, this is me. I was the one who committed the crime back then, and now I have been punished."

Ji Heng didn't understand what she meant at all, so he sat down on the imperial concubine's couch, stretched out his hand and hugged Mrs. Xu into his arms, patted her gently, and said, "It's my son's fault, what are you blaming yourself for?"

Xu said in a low voice, "It's my fault, you should blame me."

Ji Heng didn't understand what she meant at all. At this time, Xu raised his head to look at him, and said, "I married your father back then, and I haven't been pregnant for several years. Since I have no parents-in-law, I am not in a hurry. But in the end, I was afraid that people would say it, so I married the three dowry to your father as a housemate, and two of them became pregnant, so I raised all three of them as aunts, and the third gave birth to the eldest sister, and the eldest gave birth. It was difficult to give birth, and the adults and children were not kept. Your father has never been a prostitute. At first I was not pregnant, and he was anxious, but he didn’t blame me for my problem. Now two aunts are pregnant soon, so the problem is naturally not Because of him, he fell in love with the fourth child from the outside - the girl from the Mu family, who is now the fourth aunt. The fourth child's life is poor. It was her father who sold her to your father. I was very angry at that time, your uncle Advise me not to be angry, he is already in good shape. After the fourth son entered the mansion, he became pregnant with the third sister, and I became even angrier, and I was not convinced, so I asked your uncle to find a lot of medicine to take, thinking about it It’s better to have a baby by yourself. After taking a lot of medicine, you really had a baby, and it was you. I think your body looks like this, that’s why I took those medicines. I asked Mr. Weng a while ago, Weng Mr. said that your body is like this, it should be because I took improper medicine before or during pregnancy. When I think of this, I feel very uncomfortable. Henger, I am sorry for you. "

Seeing Xu crying sadly and blaming himself, Ji Heng felt pity for her even more.To say that his body is like this, he already knew that Xu Shi took improper hormones when he was pregnant with him. However, Xu Shi is his biological mother, so should he blame Xu Shi and say it is her fault? , that is simply not as good as a beast.

Ji Heng said, "Mother, why should you blame yourself. It is the greatest favor you have given me for giving birth to me. Parents are kind, and heaven and earth are equal. How can I blame you. If you don't take medicine, I can't say I will not be born at all, there will be no me at all. No matter what happens to me in the future, I will be grateful enough to you if you can give birth to me. Besides, your kindness to me is as great as a mountain. I often feel that I have let you down. I don’t know How to repay. Now I am going to the southeast again, leaving you at home. My parents are here, and I will not travel far. I am already very guilty for leaving you. He Yan faces the world face to face. Mother, don’t think about that anymore. Don’t say that there is nothing wrong with my body. It is just that some people are born deaf-mute, blind, and crippled, but they are still alive and respecting their parents. This is good, so why not live a good life, do things well, be filial and thank you.”

Xu was still crying, this time thinking that Ji Heng was leaving, and said, "Mother can have a son like you, and she will die without regret. But I still want you to marry a wife, even if you gave birth to Lin for the emperor. Son, but after all, it is the prince, not yours. You should have your own children. Maybe it is the selfishness of being a mother, but I always think that you can have a complete family with sons and daughters. In this way, even if When you go out as an official, my grandson will be around my knees in front of me, so I won’t be lonely. Although the emperor gave me a gold medal so that I can enter the palace at any time, but that is the prince after all. Even if I miss him every day, it’s just It's just a courtier's wife."

Ji Heng sighed softly in his heart, and nodded slightly with great difficulty.

Ji Heng recovered from his illness and returned home, and went to the Hanlin Academy to take his sick leave, so naturally he had to go back to duty again.

Many friends and colleagues knew that he had recovered from his illness. Seeing that he was a little fatter than before leaving, and his complexion was not bad, they said that he had indeed recuperated and invited guests to congratulate him.

Ji Heng didn't shirk it, so he ate dinner with friends outside for a few days after returning home. Everyone ate together. Although they only talked about elegance and not political affairs, most of them would still talk about the affairs of the court and China.

These few meals, almost all revolve around His Royal Highness whose mother is a mystery.

Because of the majesty of the emperor, although these courtiers have a lot of gossip in their hearts, they will never speak inappropriately in front of their colleagues, and people will be caught. Even when discussing the prince, they still speak in a cryptic manner.

"The Ministry of Rites has drafted several words and sent them up for the emperor to decide on the name of His Royal Highness, but the emperor thinks it is not good." These are the words of Lord Song Botao.

After Master Song finished speaking, Ji Heng's originally peaceful face seemed to frown.

Liu Pingnan Master Liu has always flattered Ji Heng. He comes from an ordinary family and is ugly. Although he has a flexible mind, he has never achieved much. He entered the Imperial Academy and has been there ever since. look like.

Many adults are proud of this, but Master Liu still wants to do something in other areas. Ji Heng is a big tree, so he wants to rely on it, so he has been paying attention to Ji Heng. Ji Heng would definitely be upset when he carried a prince back to the palace outside the palace. Seeing him frowning at this moment, he felt that it was true, so he took Master Song's words and said, "The emperor probably has intentions in his heart, but No one guessed it right. Let's not talk about this, today is He Junqing recovering from illness, so it's natural to talk about it lightly."

Ji Heng said casually, "It doesn't take me so long to recuperate, I'm just dodging. It's not worth everyone's special celebration."

Master Liu smiled and said, "Then we are also taking advantage of Junqing to get together and relax."

In fact, Ji Heng really wanted to hear what everyone said about the prince, but Master Liu interrupted him so much that in the end everyone stopped talking.

Ji Heng still missed the prince in his heart, so after some hesitation the next day, he went to the Hall of Qinzheng with Chief Editor Sima Pu who was going to the emperor to report the progress of the book revision.

Because the emperor was too busy these days, or because he wanted to see Ji Heng's initiative, the emperor did not pass on Ji Heng. As a courtier, Ji Heng was very difficult to visit him or the prince, because he had to find a reason.

When Liu Sheng, the chief eunuch, saw Master Sima and Ji Heng coming, he greeted them with a smile. If you say that Chief Liu is a great eunuch trusted by the emperor, although he is friendly to ordinary adults, there is no such smile.

After the prince was taken back to the palace, Liu Sheng had some guesses because Mrs. Xu had brought the prince in the palace for a few days. Although he didn't guess that Ji Heng gave birth to the child, he also felt that the child should be with Ji's mansion. related.

When others thought Ji Heng was going to fall out of favor, he didn't think so, so he was still very kind to Ji Heng.

Lord Sima told Liu Sheng to go in to report, and Liu Sheng said, "Please wait a moment, my lords."

Inside the emperor was discussing something with someone, so Liu Sheng couldn't go in to disturb him, and he came out after a while and said to Lord Sima, "The emperor is discussing something with several adults, and it's not good for our family to go in and report."

Master Sima acknowledged his affection, and said, "I came early, so wait a little longer."

Liu Sheng said, "The sun is getting brighter now, please go sit and wait in the side hall, my lords."

Master Sima is a very serious and honest person, said, "Thank you, Father-in-law, but there is no need, just wait here."

Liu Sheng didn't have much to say. He looked at Ji Heng. Ji Heng naturally followed respectfully in front of his immediate superior, Mr. Sima, and didn't look up at Liu Sheng.

Because the emperor did not take Liu Sheng with him when he left the palace, Liu Sheng hadn't seen Ji Heng for a long time. At this time, he saw Ji Heng wearing a wingless black gauze hat, dark blue Imperial Academy Yanfu, plain belt, and white boots. When I met Ji Heng last year, Ji Heng was a little thinner due to illness, but now he is a little fatter. His face is as white as jade, his eyebrows are picturesque, and his body is slender. Before that, she was even more elegant.

Liu Sheng knew that Ji Heng was ill, and the emperor always went out of the palace to see him. Seeing his temperament, he was even more convinced that he would not fall out of favor with the emperor.
