Zhuo Qihua

Although Nan Rong Chen Mu and Nan Rong Chen Mu are the county kings and princes, they do not have the right to ride in Wenqing Palace and Danyang Palace, so their speed is slower.When Emperor Yong'an and Zhuo Ji were washing and changing clothes in Fengtian Palace, Nan Rong Chenmu and Nan Rong Chenmu arrived at Danyang Palace, and they went to Shoukang Palace first to pay their respects to the emperor's grandmother.

Seeing the two grandsons who had grown taller, stronger, and darker, the queen mother hugged her dearly in her arms and kept thinking of the good grandsons.When Huang Guixie and Deguixie saw their son, they felt distressed and relieved, their eyes were red and red.Shoukang Palace is full of concubines, and the two children are also working hard all the way.The queen mother asked them to go back to rest first, and come back tomorrow to have a good talk with her.The son returned safely, and the hearts of Huang Guixie and Deguixie were returned to their place.

Not long after the two county kings left, Emperor Yong'an brought Zhuo Ji to Shoukang Palace, and a series of palace people behind him carried gifts that Emperor Yong'an brought back to the Queen Mother from Beigu.After entering the house, Emperor Yong'an knelt down to kowtow to his mother again, and Zhuo Ji also knelt down to pay his respects again.The Empress Dowager personally helped the emperor up again, and at the same time stretched out her hand to help Zhuo Ji.Zhuo Ji, who was wearing a purple uniform and a simple hairstyle, greeted Huang Guixie, Deguixie, and Xiguifei respectively, and sat down in the empty seat between Deguixie and Mingxie.

Emperor Yong'an sat beside the queen mother, and Zhang Xian was the first to step forward: "Queen mother, this is sable fur..."

The gifts that Emperor Yong'an brought back to the Empress Dowager included the "special products" that Pan Pozhi obtained in Beigu, some captured trophies, and some gifts that Emperor Yong'an ordered to find for the Empress Dowager.The bear fur and white fox fur that Pan Beigu originally planned to send to the palace were among the cartloads of special products brought back by Emperor Yong'an.Emperor Yong'an left the bear skin to the queen mother, but the white fox skin was given to Zhuo Ji.At this point, Emperor Yong'an explained what it means to "forget your mother when you have a daughter-in-law", but in a sense, Zhuo Ji is not his daughter-in-law, which is even more excessive.

Emperor Yong'an brought hundreds of gifts to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother laughed from ear to ear.Not because of the variety of these gifts, but because of his son's filial piety, it can be seen from this that Emperor Yong'an was extremely satisfied with this personal conquest.In the end, the queen mother only accepted five gifts.The emperor has so many concubines, this time the emperor went on a personal expedition for several months, not to say that he would immediately bless the harem when he came back, let the rain and dew soak in it, and give the concubines and servants some due rewards.Thinking about it this way, the Queen Mother would naturally not accept everything. At her age and status, gifts are all things outside of her body, and her heart is the most important thing.

Zhuo Ji didn't prepare a separate gift for the queen mother, that would be too flattering.He is the only noble lord of the harem who personally conscripted with Emperor Yong'an, and the gifts that Emperor Yong'an brought to the Empress Dowager naturally included his share, and the Empress Dowager understood this.

The Empress Dowager only accepted five gifts, and then said: "The emperor's personal conquest, all the concubines in the harem are worried. The emperor returned safely and the war went smoothly, so they can feel at ease."

Emperor Yong'an followed his mother's words and said: "What my mother said is true. The mother only accepted five of these gifts, and the rest will be distributed to everyone in the harem. Those in the cold palace also have a share."

The imperial concubine stood up: "I obey the order, and I thank Your Majesty for the reward."

Concubine Deguixie and Concubine Xi brought their concubines and servants to stand up and thank you: "Servant (servant) / concubine (concubine), thank you for your reward——"

Huang Guixie said: "Your Majesty and Shunxiu have been away for several months, and the ministers and others are very considerate every day. Your Majesty and Shunxiu have returned safely, and the Battle of Beigu has won a complete victory. The hearts of the ministers and servants can finally come to the ground. .”

Emperor Yong'an: "Let's have dinner with the imperial concubine, concubine, imperial concubine and Mingyu."

Huangguixie, Deguixie, Xiguifei, and Mingjue immediately got up to thank each other.After sitting down, the queen took the initiative to talk about some things in the harem during the few months when His Majesty was not in the capital.Emperor Yong'an was very satisfied.The harem is in order under the management of the empress, the mother's body is also healthy, and the Beigu war is going so smoothly. Seeing that Tarkin's troops will all fall into his pocket, Emperor Yong'an is in a very happy mood.

Zhuo Ji didn't talk much, just listened to Emperor Yong'an chatting with Huang Guixie, Deguixie, Concubine Xi, Mingxie and others.Emperor Yong'an also had a special talk with the other concubines, and everyone was very excited.Seeing Zhuo Ji's performance, the Queen Mother was satisfied with his sensibility, but also worried that his sensibility would make him want no more children.

The Shoukang Palace was full of joy, and after a while, the maids around the Empress Dowager came to report, and the low-ranking concubines arrived.The eunuch opened the door curtain, and the concubines and attendants from the concubine to the lower level entered one by one. The one who walked in the front was the nobleman Yuan Suyuan who gave birth to the dragon's heir.After everyone paid their respects to His Majesty, the noble concubine said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhuang and Your Majesty Yuan gave birth to princes during your conquest. Your Majesty the Ninth Prince Chen Chun and the Tenth Prince Chen Ling have not seen each other yet."

The queen mother said: "Bring all the princes and show them to His Majesty."

Chen Zhu and Chen Zhu are the oldest princes, and the other oldest is the third prince Chen'an who is only one year old.The queen mother spoke, Zhang Xian immediately went out to order.The low-ranking concubine could only stand, and Yuan Susu stood behind Concubine Jing.After Liu Yanling became a concubine, the noble concubine decided to arrange Yuan Susu to Concubine Jing's Yihui Palace, and the child born by Yuan Susu, the ninth prince, Chen Chun, was also raised under Liu Yanling's knees.After Jing Lanzhen gave birth to the prince, she was named Concubine Zhuang, and the concubine arranged for Jing Lirou to be concubine Zhuang's Lanxiang Palace side palace.

Currently the only pregnant woman in the harem is Concubine Xi.Although Emperor Yong'an had fulfilled his duties as a monarch in the harem before going out for the expedition, only Concubine Xi was the only one who got pregnant successfully.As the only one among the low-ranking concubines who gave birth to a dragon heir, Yuan Susu's status is naturally extraordinary.It's just because she and Liu Yanling are both from the Liu family, otherwise she wouldn't be the only noble person.

There are more than 60 concubines and concubines of Emperor Yong'an, and 60 of these 12 people have given birth to dragon heirs, which is not a high proportion.But for Emperor Yong'an, who already had ten princes, he felt that there were too many sons.This is why he does not plan to draft again for the time being.For him who loves to serve, these more than 60 concubines are already enough.

When Emperor Yong'an talked to the empress dowager, the empress dowager and other noble concubines, others rarely dared to intervene.His Majesty's most beloved companions were all sitting quietly, they did not dare to be presumptuous.While talking, the nanny came to report, and all the highnesses were carried over.The door curtain was lifted, and the eight foster nuns, each with a little prince, filed in.From the Third Highness Chen Yu to the Tenth Highness Chen Leng, the eight princes were chubby and held in the arms of the foster mother, and placed in front of their father, Emperor Yong'an.

Apart from being familiar with the eldest son Chen Mu and the second son Chen Mu, Emperor Yong'an didn't have a deep impression of his other sons.These eight little princes were placed in front of him, and he couldn't recognize who was who.Huang Guixie was also aware of this, and took the initiative to introduce: "Your Majesty, this is Chen Yu..."

The third prince, Nan Rongchen, saw his mother and father, ahhh, he stretched out his hand to be hugged by his mother and father.De Guixie stretched out her hand, and the nanny sent the little highness into the arms of the master.Emperor Yong'an smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few months, the case of Chen is so big." After speaking, Emperor Yong'an stretched out his hand, and De Guixie sent his son into His Majesty's arms.Emperor Yong'an weighed it, it was indeed heavy enough.Xiao Chenyan was hugged by his father, his face was full of curiosity, and a little bit of fear.Emperor Yong'an's imperial air was too strong, and the child's instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages made Xiao Chenan dare not act presumptuously.

The queen mother said with a smile: "The emperor will come back a few days earlier, and he will be able to catch up with Chen's first birthday."

Emperor Yong'an was surprised: "One year old?"

Huang Guixie then said: "Chen'an's first birthday on July 21st, the first birthday ceremony is held in the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace. The Queen Mother said that His Majesty is not here, so it will be more lively in the Shoukang Palace."

Emperor Yong'an asked curiously: "What did you catch at the first birthday of the Chen case?"

De Guixie said jokingly: "First I grabbed the abacus, then I grabbed the pastry, and finally I grabbed the rattle."

If you catch something like this, even a parent won't be too satisfied, let alone a prince.But as the third prince, Nan Rongchen caught these, but he would not disappoint Emperor Yong'an. Instead, he said funnyly like De Guixie: "From now on, I will be a person who loves to eat and play."

If these words fall on other princes, people may think that His Majesty means "dude", but the people present will definitely not think that His Majesty meant this to the third prince.De Guixie looked at his chubby son and said: "Compared to Chen Mu, Chen Mu loves to eat and can eat. He is only one year old, and the servants can't even hug him."

Emperor Yong'an said with satisfaction: "It's a blessing to be able to eat. I missed the first birthday of the Chen case when I was away, and I want to make up for it." Picking up a round piece of ink-colored pendant jade on his waist, Zhang Xian immediately reached out to take it.Emperor Yong'an: "This is my first birthday gift to Chen Case."

Deguixie hurriedly handed the child over to the nanny, and saluted: "Thank you for your majesty's reward on behalf of the minister." He took the jade from Zhang Xian with both hands, and Deguixie put it on his son's neck with his own hands.

Deguixie hugged his son and sat back, Huangguixie pointed to the next prince and said, "This is Chen Yang."

Ming Xun got up and took his son from the mother's arms, and Emperor Yong'an also extended his hand.Chen Yang was nearly four months younger than Chen An, and he was also chubby, fleshy, and tender.Emperor Yong'an touched the fourth prince's chubby face like a father, and asked, "Can Chen Yang start eating now?"

Mingyu: "Not yet. What I eat is rice, a paste made from ground rice flour, and pumpkin puree. Chen Yang is almost eight months old now, and he can only start eating soft rice when he is around one year old."

Chen Yang's mouth was drooling, Emperor Yong'an nodded, saw that the fourth prince seemed to have teeth growing in his mouth, and asked: "But teeth?"

Mingyu: "There are two growths underneath."

Emperor Yong'an picked up Chen Yang, and Mingyu immediately took it over. Then Emperor Yong'an also took a piece of mutton fat jade from his waist, and said: "Chen Yang looks good, and I like it very much. This is considered to be a gift to Chen Yang when I return from a trip." A gift from Yang."

Ming Xun handed the son over to the nanny, and took it with both hands: "On behalf of Chen Yang, I would like to thank His Majesty for the gift."

Ming Xun took the jade and put it on for his son, and sat down with his son in his arms.Huang Guixie continued, "Your Majesty, this is Chen Zhu."

Concubine Jing Liu Yanling was already holding her son.Emperor Yong'an also stretched out his hand, and Concubine Jing was so excited that she hurriedly passed her son over.There is only two days difference between Chen Zhu and Chen Yang, and they are also chubby and chubby.Emperor Yong'an naturally couldn't remember how old this son was, so Concubine Jing took the initiative to say: "Zhu'er is two days behind His Highness the Fourth Highness, and it's almost eight months."

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "I named him Chenzhu, hoping that he would be as strong as a pillar. Now it seems that he is very strong. Do you have long teeth?"

Concubine Jing: "It's grown, and there are also two."

Chen Zhu stared blankly at his father, and Emperor Yong'an looked at him with a cute look and laughed a few times.Withdrew a finger from his finger and stuffed it into Chen Zhu's palm, then raised his head and said to the excited Concubine Jing: "Teach Chen Zhu well, teach him brotherhood, filial piety and love."

"I will always remember His Majesty's instruction!"

Concubine Jing hugged her son with joy on her face.

Concubine Jing hugged the fifth prince, Nan Rong Chenzhu, and sat back in her seat. Zhuo Ji, who had been silent all this time, was secretly counting the ornaments on Emperor Yong'an. Eight princes seemed not enough.

Qi Yiguo stood in front of the emperor holding his son Chen Zhao.As soon as he saw Qi Yiguo, Emperor Yong'an asked first, "This is Chen Zhao."

Qi Yiguo's eyes turned red for a moment: "Return to Your Majesty, this is Chen Zhao."

Emperor Yong'an stretched out his hand, and Qi Yiguo hurriedly sent his son over.Compared with the previous princes, Chen Zhao's body looks thinner, but his face is still rosy.At this time, Huang Guixie said: "When Your Majesty personally went to conquer, the Jiangfang Palace was properly repaired, and Zhaoyi and Chunyan had already moved there."

De Guixie went on to say: "Chen Zhao's body is a little weaker, but under the care of Chief Doctor Hu, he is better now."

Nan Rong Chenzhao was only five months old, and was hugged by his father, whom he had never seen before. He was the only one among all the princes who had a caesarean section, and he cried with some fear.Qi Yiguo was very nervous, Emperor Yong'an handed the child back, Qi Yiguo hugged him and patted him skillfully.In the arms of mother and father, Chen Zhao stopped crying.

Emperor Yong'an asked, "Is Chunyi feeling better?"

Unexpectedly, His Majesty would ask such a question, Qi Yiguo was moved (excited) to the point of tears, he nodded hastily: "Thank you for your majesty's concern, it's ready."

Even if it's not good, you can't tell the truth at this time.On the contrary, De Guixie said: "Cesarean section for Chunnan, although the wound has healed, it still hurts. His Highness Six is ​​weak and easily wakes up, Chunnan also took care of it personally."

Emperor Yong'an: "Chun is not squeamish, and he puts the prince first. I am very pleased. Give Chun Ni two hundred-year-old ginseng, and ask him to take good care of his body."

Qi Yiguo hugged his son and knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Get up, don't be too polite when you hold Chen Zhao."

Qi Yiguo's personal eunuch immediately helped him up, and Emperor Yong'an went on to say: "Chen Zhao is weak, when he is older, he needs to strengthen his body more. Zhang Xian, go and get my 'Cold Night', I want it Give it to Chen Zhao. In the future, Chen Zhao will practice martial arts hard and don't be that weak man."

Qi Yiguo's tears flowed down, and he knelt down and kowtowed to thank him again: "On behalf of Chen Zhao, I would like to thank Your Majesty for the gift!"

Zhang Xian went out to get the dagger, and Emperor Yong'an asked Qi Yiguo to get up.Zhaotong Tong Yifeng stood in front of the emperor holding his son Nanrong Chenhu.
