The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 486: Peaceful and Prosperous Times

"Wang Ji has just entered the silkworm room. It takes a lot of effort to prepare the equipment. Your Majesty, why don't you sit down and wait."

Yan Chengjin saw Emperor Hongzhi walking around and couldn't help but give advice.

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, but he couldn't bear it. He asked Liu Jian and others to stand and said, "Come here and give seats to Master Liu and Ma Qing's family."

Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng are the oldest veterans among the ministers.

He had to stand for a long time. Yan Chengjin wanted to ask for a seat, but he couldn't ask for it.

At this moment, the little eunuch ran in in a panic.

Liu Jian was extremely nervous: "The Queen has given birth?"

The officials were even more worried than Emperor Hongzhi. After all, what his Majesty wanted was the princess, and what they wanted was the prince.

Yan Chengjin secretly speculated that coming out so soon, could it be...

The little eunuch knew that His Majesty might have misunderstood, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness is here."

Not long after, Zhu Houzhao walked into the side room in a hurry: "Father, my son and I are here to see our mother."

"Well, wait aside and don't get in my way."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the palace door from time to time and had no time to teach him a lesson.

Zhu Houzhao came to Yan Chengjin's side, his eyebrows dancing with joy: "Old Gao, do you think you are a princess or a prince?"

Yan Chengjin thought carefully: "It's the princess."

The angry voices of the ministers were heard everywhere, like enemies meeting each other and casting hostile glances.

Yan Chengjin doesn't care. If His Majesty is happy, he will be promoted. I still care about the ministers?

Emperor Hongzhi looked better.

He paced leisurely in the side room, pretending to be taking a leisurely stroll, but his tightly clenched fists showed that he was nervous.

Zhu Houzhao was happy and thought to himself: "If I want a prince, let him go to Zhan Shifu to study, find him the best master, and copy the emperor's ancestral precepts a hundred, no, ten thousand times a day."

The ministers showed satisfied smiles, and His Highness became more and more sensible.

If you study well, you can become talented, help the world, and govern the country.

Yan Chengjin looked strange, Zhu Houzhao clearly wanted to take revenge on His Majesty.

If the queen gives birth to a prince, the prince's future destiny will be very bumpy, right?

At this time, Zhao Jie, the eunuch in charge of Renshou Palace, came to ask if Queen Zhang was alive. When he learned that she was not, he ran back to Renshou Palace to report the news.

The people waiting outside Huimin Pharmacy were in an uproar when they learned that Queen Zhang was going to give birth to His Highness.

Empress Zhang gave birth to a prince and a princess, and she had a close relationship with them.

If the prince wants Pan, all the money will come from the common people.

They want a princess!

Many people began to kneel on the ground and pray devoutly.

In the silkworm room,

Wang Ji was sweating heavily, holding a special ripper knife and cutting open one layer after another, six layers in total.

A doctor from Huimin Pharmacy came with him and hurriedly drew a picture for the doctor he was recruiting to observe.

But it’s not always possible to perform anatomy on pregnant women.

"Is His Highness inside?"

Everyone's hearts tightened.

What if the fetus is stillborn, how should I explain it to His Majesty and the officials who are waiting outside? What if the knife cuts too deeply and injures His Highness, how should I explain it to him?

"It's on the sixth floor, it must be here."

The surgical area was a blur of red, and ordinary doctors couldn't tell where the palace organs were and where the highness was.

"Your Highness... Where is Your Highness?" The nanny who delivered the baby asked in shock when she saw such a scene for the first time.

Wang Ji saw the little hand moving slightly in Queen Zhang's belly.

And the brain.

He held the scissors and quickly cut off the tire cord wrapped around his neck.

"Come and sew up the wound. Look inside the abdomen first. Don't leave any foreign objects."

Hu Dayuanzi looked at it carefully three times.

No foreign objects were seen falling in, so the wound was closed and sutures started.

Six layers of skin were opened, and six layers were needed for suturing.

When grandma saw the child being taken out, she came forward with great joy and hurriedly went to the door to announce it. The eunuch outside the door hurriedly went to report it.

Is this a prince or a princess?

Mammy was suddenly startled: "No, Doctor Wang, why doesn't His Highness cry?"

Isn't this a dead baby?

Being entangled in the fetal cord for nearly half an hour, it is very likely that a dead baby will be born.

Wang Ji also noticed the abnormality. He grabbed the calf, turned the doll upside down, and patted the back.

sneeze~

A mouthful of amniotic fluid was coughed out, and a loud cry filled the room.

The little eunuch ran back to the side room and reported: "Your Majesty, the queen has given birth to your highness."

Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng and others were even more anxious than Emperor Hongzhi, as if they were the fathers.

Immediately I burst into tears. I had been looking forward to it for twelve years and finally had another heir.

By the way...

"Is he a prince or a princess?"

Emperor Hongzhi came out of his trance and looked at the little eunuch intently.

Yan Chengjin also looked over, even though he was flattering His Majesty just now.

However, he also wanted a princess from the bottom of his heart.

The little eunuch hesitated: "Mom didn't report it."

At this moment, a loud and powerful cry, like the cry of someone being beaten, resounded through Huimin Pharmacy.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard the crying, his whole body trembled with excitement.

The officials were overjoyed and looked at each other with understanding smiles.

Such a clear and powerful cry is very similar to when Zhu Houzhao was beaten. There is no doubt that it is the prince.

"Quickly, take the prince out and show him to Your Majesty."

They said it was for Emperor Hongzhi to see, but actually they wanted to see it themselves.

The joy on Emperor Hongzhi's face faded a bit, and the birth of the prince was beyond his expectation.

The little eunuch hurriedly ran.

Soon, he turned back and said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Doctor Wang said that His Highness needs to stay in the silkworm room and must not catch a cold."

If he takes her out, she may catch a cold. At this time, the heavy snow has not melted and it is still a bit cold.

Emperor Hongzhi did not force it: "Is it a princess or a prince? Can I go in to visit?"

The hearts of all officials tightened, and they all looked at the little eunuch eagerly. At this moment, the little eunuch was his father.

It seemed that if the little eunuch did not say that he was a prince, he would eat him alive.

The little eunuch knelt on the ground with a plop: "It's a princess!"

The faces of all officials were pale, as if they were as uncomfortable as being cheated by a servant.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed out loud, and Yan Chengjin smiled unconsciously.

Zhu Houzhao was disappointed. The princess did not have to study like him. She did not have to suffer the hardships that this palace had suffered.

She would also be held in the hands of her father and loved well.

Thinking of this, his heart was like being torn apart by someone, and then sprinkled with salt, and it hurt like hell.

The people outside Huimin Pharmacy heard the loud crying and raised their heads to look at the silkworm room.

Giving birth to a prince means heavier taxes in the future.

Climbing up to the attic of Huimin Pharmacy, Xiao Jing stood on the high ground and said happily: "The queen gave birth to a princess. Your Majesty named her Zhu Xiuyun and called her Princess Taiping, which means peace in the prosperous times."

The princess' title was mostly named after a place, but Emperor Hongzhi lost two sons in a row and was afraid that another one would die young, so he named her Taiping.

The people outside Huimin Pharmacy cheered.

It's good that she's not a prince, no matter what she's called.

Emperor Hongzhi was so pleased that he couldn't calm down for a long time: "Pen and ink, I want to give a name to Huimin Pharmacy!"

Xiao Jing ordered people to bring paper and pen.

Emperor Hongzhi wrote four big characters on the big paper: Xuanhu Jishi!

Yan Chengjin was excited. It was an advertisement worth hundreds of millions of taels.

"I beg Your Majesty to order the Ministry of Works to carve a plaque and put it in front of Huimin Pharmacy."
