Zhuo Qihua

Emperor Yong'an had no impression of the appearance of the sixth prince Nan Rong Chenchao and the seventh prince Nan Rong Chenhuo, but he was definitely impressed by their births.As soon as he saw Tong Yifeng, Emperor Yong'an said again: "This is Chenhu."

Tong Yifeng: "The servants and Chen Hao welcome His Majesty back to the palace."

Emperor Yong'an: "Bring Chen Hao to me."

Tong Yifeng handed over his son to His Majesty.Emperor Yong'an hugged Chen Hao, who was as big as Chen Zhao, and said, "Chen Hao looks strong."

Tong Yifeng: "Chen Hao eats and sleeps all day long, the meat will naturally grow faster."

Emperor Yong'an nodded and said: "I remember that you had a poor appetite when you were pregnant, it seems that Chen Hao didn't follow you."

Unexpectedly, His Majesty knew about this. Tong Yifeng was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern. The emperor's noble concubine and your noble concubine often instruct the servants and others how to raise the emperor's heirs, and the servants take care of them. Do it, Chenhu will grow and become more fleshy."

"Hehe..." Emperor Yong'an pinched Chen Huo's small hand with a small pit on the back, and took an amber ring from his finger and stuffed it into his palm, "Chen Huo, this is a little thing my father gave you. Take it to play, but don't eat it in your mouth."

Chen Hao picked up the ring and stuffed it into his mouth, Emperor Yong'an pulled his son's hand.Tong Yifeng carried his son back: "Thank you for your majesty's kindness on behalf of Chenmo."

At this time, Huang Guixie was already hugging Chen Ji.Nan Rong Chenji, Chen Zhao, and Chen Hao were all born in February, but he was born on February 29, half a month younger than the sixth and seventh children.Emperor Yong'an asked Huang Guixie to hug Lao Ba to him with a fatherly expression, and took off a jade pendant from his waist and put it on Lao Ba Nanrong Chenji's neck, and said: "This is Emperor Mingzong. What was left for me, I gave it to Chen Ji today as compensation for his full moon and hundred days. For the things I brought back from Beigu, Huang Guixie also picked out some and gave them to the princes and daughters."

The queen said with a smile, "The servants also have the same intention. The princesses also miss your majesty very much. Do you want to see your majesty?"

What the emperor gave to his son was the relic of Emperor Mingzong, which was of great significance. It directly explained that the eighth prince Nanrong Chenji, who came from the womb of the imperial concubine, was different from the other princes in terms of identity, and how the empress was not happy.

Emperor Yong'an: "That's all for today. I will hold a family banquet another day, and then I will have a good talk with them. Chen Mu and Chen Mu performed well in Beigu this time, and they did not insult their status as my dragon sons, nor did they humiliate them." I am very pleased with their responsibilities as kings of the county. Those of them who are younger brothers must learn from their imperial brothers. They must be respectful to each other, and they must be humble and lenient."

Everyone in unison—except Zhuo Ji—"Chenshi (servant body)/Chenqie (concubine body) remember Your Majesty's teachings—"

Hearing what His Majesty said, Huang Guixie and Deguixie were very excited, and they were also extremely proud of their son's excellence.

After Huang Guixie took Nan Rong Chenji away, Emperor Yong'an then hugged the four-month-old nine-year-old Nan Rong Chenchun.The old ninth Nan Rong Chenchun and the old ten Nan Rong Chenling were both born when Emperor Yong'an was away in person, and the difference between the two children was only five days.The two children were also chubby, their heads had just been shaved, and their heads were bare.

The imperial concubine said: "Chen Chun is now raised under Concubine Jing's knees. Concubine Jing treats Chen Zhu and Chen Chun equally. Although Chen Zhu, the older brother, is still young, he already knows how to take care of his younger brother."

The imperial concubine was not stingy with speaking kind words for other concubines and princes, not only won respect in the harem, but also satisfied Emperor Yong'an and the queen mother.Emperor Yong'an touched Chen Chun's bald head and said: "Chen Zhu takes care of Chen Chun, and Chen Chun also respects his elder brother. Concubine Jing, you must not only teach them two brothers to respect each other and love each other, but also teach them how to treat each other with their brothers and sisters." We love each other and help each other. You have always been sensible, and Chen Chun is raised under your knees, so I can rest assured."

Concubine Jing Liu Yanling was so excited that the corners of her eyes were red, she knelt down to thank her: "Your Majesty taught me to always remember this."

Yuan Susu also knelt down: "I thank Your Majesty Long En—"

Emperor Yong'an asked them to get up and said: "When Chen Chun and Chen Leng were born, I was away. I gave Chen Chun and Chen Leng a jade ring finger each. I gave Zhuang Concubine a Dendrobium of pearls and a handful of five-color gemstones each... Bestow Yuan Su white……"

Concubine Zhuang knelt down, and Yuan Susu knelt down again.

Emperor Yong'an was away when Yuan Susu and Zhuang's concubine Jing Lanzhen gave birth, and although they were promoted later by decree, they were not rewarded.This time, Emperor Yong'an officially rewarded the two of them.At the same time, Emperor Yong'an also decided to hold a canonization ceremony for Concubine Zhuang Jing Lanzhen, Chunyi Qi Yiguo and Zhaoyi Tong Yifeng in Fengtian Hall next month.

After awarding the reward, Emperor Yong'an hugged Chen Leng again, and the ceremony of meeting the harem concubines and princes after returning to the palace was officially over.The ten princes of Emperor Yong'an, except for Nan Rongchen, who is currently weaker, the rest are all fleshy and strong, which makes Emperor Yong'an very satisfied.

After seeing everything that should be seen, the Queen Mother gave an order, except for those who stayed to accompany the meal, the others can go back first.The concubines and servants resigned and left one after another, and the ones who remained in Shoukang Palace in the end were Huanggui Xie and Degui Xie, whose status in Danyang Palace was unshakable—at least for now, and for a long time. , Ming Xun, Xi Guifei, and Shun Xun Zhuo Ji.

The princes were also carried away.As soon as most of the people left, Emperor Yong'an's expression suddenly became a little more relaxed.The Empress Dowager ordered the meals to be passed on, and the empress did not say at this time: "Your Majesty, Mingyu has moved to the Shuli Palace. By the way, the glass of the Xiangfu Palace has also been replaced in the whole palace, and the servants sent Chang Ancheng to watch over it. .Do you want to repair the courtiers in Yanxin Palace or ask His Majesty for an order."

Emperor Yong'an: "There is no need to repair the Yanxin Palace for the time being. Someone needs to live in it." Emperor Yong'an said to Huanggui and Degui, "Chen Mo is eight years old, and it's time to go to the prince's house. Chen Mo has already told me Yes, he wants to go to the prince's residence with Chen Zhu, and I have already agreed."

De Guixie was surprised, but quickly said calmly: "The servants follow His Majesty's arrangement."

The noble concubine said: "The servants have already made arrangements. Since Chen Mu is going to go, the servants will also arrange everything that Chen Mu needs to bring over in the next few days."

De Guixie: "Thank you for serving me."

Emperor Yong'an: "In the future, when the princes reach the age of three, they will be sent to the Winter Night Hall for enlightenment, and after they are eight years old, they will be sent to the prince's office. They are the heirs of the dragon and the princes. I know that you will be distressed as parents and concubines, but Being with you for a long time is not a good thing for them."

"The minister (concubine) would like to follow His Majesty's will—"

Emperor Yong'an: "Not only the prince, but also the royal family and relatives all follow this. The imperial concubine, you will issue an order."

The noble lady stood up: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Children who are underage or who have not yet established their own family are still considered as family members, so it is not wrong for Emperor Yong'an to let the emperor's concubine make a decree.De Guixie said at this time: "Shunxi, are you tired? I see that you are silent."

Emperor Yong'an looked over immediately, Zhuo Ji: "No. Just now, the attendant has been thinking whether the pendants on His Majesty's body are enough to distribute to His Highnesses. Don't even have to reward the belts."

The audience was silent for a while, and the Queen Mother was the first to burst out laughing.Huangguixie, Deguixie, Mingyu and Concubine Xigui all covered their mouths and laughed, and Emperor Yong'an nodded at Zhuo Ji from the air with a speechless face: "Nonsense!"

For dinner, except for Zhuo Ji, everyone ate a few mouthfuls casually.Emperor Yong'an couldn't eat, he didn't eat Zhuo Ji's dishes on the way back, and he still couldn't eat them after returning to the palace, the glutton in his stomach was protesting.The craftsmanship of this royal chef is really bad!The Empress Dowager was busy asking about the emperor's daily life in Beigu, and had no intention of eating.The general thoughts of Huang Guixie and Deguixie were on Zhuo Ji, Mingxi had something to say to Zhuo Ji, while Xi Guifei had something on her mind.

Emperor Yong'an never asked Concubine Xi about her pregnancy, Concubine Xi knew well that His Majesty was blaming her.After dinner, the queen mother sent the emperor and Zhuo Ji back to rest.Emperor Yong'an did not refuse either, and took Zhuo Ji to leave, and Huang Guixie and the others naturally left together.Emperor Yong'an will definitely be busy for a while after returning to Beijing.On the first night back to the palace, Emperor Yong'an had no intention of going to Huayang Palace, but took Zhuo Ji back to Fengtian Palace.After seeing His Majesty off, the royal concubine hurried back to Huayang Palace. He couldn't wait to see his son Chenzhu.So is De Guixie.Concubine Xi returned to Yuxian Palace full of worries.Ming Xun looked at the departing Concubine Xi Gui suspiciously, and frowned slightly.

Zhuo Ji started to yawn after returning to Shoukang Palace with Emperor Yong'an.He took a bath in the ear room before going to Emperor Yong'an.Emperor Yong'an also just took a shower, and Zhang Xian was drying his hair.Zhuo Ji came over with a loose wet long hair, and said, "This long hair is really troublesome to wash, I really want to cut it short."

Emperor Yong'an looked at Zhuo Ji who was walking over in the mirror and said, "You can cut it, but it can't be shortened. The cut hair should be handed over to Zhang Xian to keep it."

Zhuo Ji: "I don't have any situation where I need to preserve my body properly."

Emperor Yong'an: "You are my beloved servant, how can you throw your hair around at will."

As long as Emperor Yong'an allows him to cut it, as for how to deal with the cut hair, Zhuo Ji has no opinion.He sat down beside Emperor Yong'an, and Xiaohui immediately stepped forward to wipe his hair.Zhuo Ji sighed: "It would be nice to have a hair dryer, and the hair will dry quickly after blowing."

Zhang Xian, Feng Xi, Chang Jing, and Xiaohui who were present all lowered their heads and concentrated on doing their own things, automatically closing their ears.Emperor Yong'an: "With you here, the hair dryer will come sooner or later."

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, I will return to live in Xiangfu Palace tomorrow."

Emperor Yong'an: "Okay, I will be very busy for a while." Just after returning, Emperor Yong'an had to go around the harem and stay overnight.

Zhuo Ji: "I have already written the textbooks for King Qin and King Qi for a period of time, and I have to give them to Your Majesty. If there is anything they don't understand, I will write it down first, and His Majesty will give it to me. I don't want to when I come back." Always run into them and keep a low profile."

"can."

It was too late when the hair of the two of them was dry.The two go to bed, pure sleep.It's just that before going to bed, Emperor Yong'an told Zhuo Ji one thing: "I have decided to issue a decree to formally confer the titles of Chen Mu and Chen Mu as princes."

Zhuo Ji was surprised: "There will be no problem?"

Emperor Yong'an: "The actions of Chen Mu and Chen Mu in Beigu are obvious to all. I now have ten princes, only Chen Mu, Chen Mu and others are a little older, and the other eight are at least half a year apart. Chen Mu's status is not as good as theirs, so some people can weigh in not to be a demon in secret."

Zhuo Ji: "Will it make people feel that His Majesty chooses the crown prince between Chen Mu and Chen Mu?"

Emperor Yong'an: "If Chenzhu grows up and has good character, I will also make him a prince. As long as they are well-educated, they will all have a son as a prince. Others Prince, if you have a good heart and good character, I will make you the king of the county. Prince, it is still too early for me to choose who I prefer, but as long as there are no accidents, the prince will be selected from among the four princes. Whether it is a prince or a county king, in the future I will send all of them out, and the prince will sit in the capital to assist me in leading the overall situation. I said that no one is allowed to mention the prince within ten years, and after ten years, I will decide on the candidate for the prince. For the Tang Dynasty, he is the most suitable candidate, depending on his growth in the past ten years. I let him get in touch with you more, and I also want you to influence him more. Chen Mu is the second son, as long as Chen Mu is willing to work hard Assistant brother, if you are willing not to fight or grab, even if I don't give him the crown prince, I won't wrong him."

Emperor Yong'an held Zhuo Ji's hand: "You are my virtuous wife, and I can rest assured only if I entrust the candidate for the crown prince to your education. I know you are already busy enough, but apart from you, no one can do this for you." I share my worries."

Zhuo Ji shook Emperor Yong'an's hand vigorously, and said: "Chen Mu and Chen Mu are very sensible and eager to learn, and I am also willing to teach them. The princes started enlightenment together at the age of three, which is equivalent to going to kindergarten together. To reduce the prince's suffering The selfish influence of the biological mother increases the time they spend with each other, coupled with proper education, I dare not say that we can absolutely eliminate the matter of taking the heirloom in the future, but at least it can be reduced. Most of the battles in the harem are because they are too idle. If the concubines in the harem are so busy all day long, who have the energy to think about how to harm others and fight for power. However, as the concubines of His Majesty, it is standard to eat and wait for death, so they are busy all day long It's impossible."

"Hehe..." Emperor Yong'an said, "You shout all day long to eat and wait to die, so you are so busy all day long. If these people in Danyang Palace know how to behave and don't act like demons, I will let them fool around." Eat and wait to die. If you don’t know the fun, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Zhuo Ji turned over and lay down on Emperor Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an stretched out his arms cooperatively, letting Zhuo Ji rest on his shoulder.Zhuo Ji said: "In the last life, several Arab countries were still monarchies. The kings of those countries had hundreds of princes, and the status of the crown prince was relatively stable. At least from the news, it was rare to see the change of the crown prince. For the crown prince , the king not only trusts him very much, but also grants him a lot of power, which to some extent ensures the safety of the crown prince."

Touching Emperor Yong'an's chest, Zhuo Ji said: "Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven is the son of a real dragon, but he will go west after all. After all, the world will be left to the prince. If your majesty chooses a prince, he must trust him. I am afraid that the prince will seize power one day, and the prince and the prince will be suspicious of each other. With your majesty's prestige and strength, it is impossible for the prince to seize power. On the contrary, I think that when your majesty is 70 or 80 years old, his energy and physical strength can no longer meet the needs of the king. At that time, the power can be completely delegated to the prince."

Emperor Yong'an did not speak.Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty retreated to the second line, and the new monarch is in power. In a sense, the new monarch has His Majesty's support, and he can stabilize the country as soon as possible in a short period of time. As far as His Majesty is concerned, His Majesty can also see the new monarch with his own eyes in his lifetime." The power of governance. Your Majesty has served the country for a lifetime, and you must always see what the country looks like under your rule."

Emperor Yong'an hugged Zhuo Ji tightly: "I will consider it."

Zhuo Ji also hugged Emperor Yong'an tightly: "I also have my own selfishness. I don't want His Majesty to spend his whole life in this position of emperor. I think that one day, His Majesty can take me out to eat oil noodles every day, and can accompany me in my Holidays on the farm can accompany me all over the country."

Emperor Yong'an: "Look at your promise. As long as I am the emperor, you will be arrogant and domineering. If I become the Supreme Emperor, aren't you afraid that the new empress will overwhelm you?"

Zhuo Ji: "Don't be afraid, the new queen has a queen dowager above her. The queen mother is either my brother or my sister. I have a lot of backing."

"Ha ha……"

Emperor Yong'an turned his head and kissed Zhuo Ji's forehead, he knew what Zhuo Ji's intention was.Emperor Yong'an said in a low voice: "If the prince meets my expectations, I will consider it. Zhuo Ji, no matter whether I will spend my whole life thinking about it, I will definitely take you with me. In my will, I will order you to be buried, Are you scary?"

This is the second time that Emperor Yong'an mentioned this matter. Zhuo Ji said calmly: "There is nothing to be afraid of. If Your Majesty does not issue an order, I will go with Your Majesty. If I leave late, Your Majesty will find you in the next life." Thank you for helping others. But Your Majesty has to agree to my request."

Emperor Yong'an directly agreed to Zhuo Ji's request: "I will only have you by my side."

Satisfied, Zhuo Ji yawned and said, "I'm sleepy."

"Go to sleep."

In Emperor Yong'an's arms, Zhuo Ji quickly fell asleep.Emperor Yong'an hugged his virtuous wife and quickly fell asleep.Outside the house, the night wind was blowing, which seemed to indicate that there would be a breeze blowing across the north and south of Mata country.
