First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao walked back and forth at the door several times, like a donkey pulling a mill, all of which were his own unconscious actions. His mind was in a mess, and thousands of strange and unreasonable thoughts kept coming out. No.

From time to time, there were palace maids in and out of Chengqian Palace, but there was no sound from inside. Zhu Biao's complexion was red, and he suddenly grabbed a court lady carrying a basin and asked, What's the matter with the princess?

The little palace maid was also very nervous, she was grabbed suddenly and almost cried: Your servant...I don't know about your servant.

Zhu Biao swallowed his saliva and let her go, feeling that he was conscious, but as if he was dreaming, he found a step and sat down feebly, surrounded by a group of eunuchs but dared not speak to comfort her.

After a while, Chang Luohua's cry suddenly started to come from inside, but Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. He had been too quiet all the time. He thought his wife and children were dead, and the eunuchs were afraid, so they colluded and pretended lie to him.

At this moment, he even thought about how to torture them severely. He finally relaxed when he heard his wife's cries during childbirth. All kinds of strange and violent thoughts receded like a tide, but his heart started to jump up and down again.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang walked over quickly out of breath, with a group of eunuchs hanging far behind him, his chest was constantly heaving and even the dragon on his chest seemed to come alive, baring its teeth and claws.

Although he was very tired, Lao Zhu didn't intend to sit down. Instead, he glanced at the palace door and then at his son. He kept circling with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stopped and ordered to the eunuch who came: Immediately! Let the Ministry of Rites offer sacrifices to Fengxian Hall!

By the way, Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum can't be pulled down either. Send people over there immediately to sacrifice, without delay!

After seeing his father, Zhu Biao's heart finally settled down and regained his former composure. He stood up and comforted his father, but Lao Zhu was not in the mood to listen to his nagging at this time.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao smiled helplessly, dragged a court lady to the side and whispered: Go and tell Granny Zhang, if necessary, you must give up the little one and protect the big one. There is no need to come out to ask for instructions. If you dare to be smart, you will be at your own risk!

The court lady stared at Zhu Biao in a daze, her eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars, then she nodded firmly, saluted and walked towards the delivery room.

Women in this era are just tools for giving birth, even if they are as noble as a princess, they can't change this essence. If that juncture really happens in a while, Lao Zhu will definitely order to give up the big and protect the young. Even Wang Chang's family in Kaiping will not have any objections. It is enough for the grandson of the Chang family to be born.

But for Zhu Biao, children are very important, but his wife who has been with him for several years is more important. If Chang Luohua just left like this, Zhu Biao would find it hard to accept.

After a while, Empress Ma arrived, without even looking at the father and son who were circling around, they paused silently at the door for a while, and then walked into the delivery room. Empress Ma led the women and children in the back, and the men were all fighting on the front line , when every woman gives birth, she goes to the delivery room and has rich experience.

The voice inside was fluctuating, and the concubines and princes and princesses of the harem also rushed over. Seeing that the restless father and father wanted to say something nice, Lao Zhu thought their chattering was annoying, and told them to leave with a glare. , less chaos here.

Immediately, the concubines turned pale and ran away covering their faces. The disgraced three brothers who had just finished their work still wanted to stay with their eldest brother and waited to see their eldest nephew, but they were dragged away by their mother and concubine.

The eldest princess Zhu Jingjing, who led the younger siblings, cast a consoling look at her elder brother, and then coaxed away a few little carrots who wanted to join in the fun. They didn't know that her sister saved their butts.

According to Lao Zhu's character and traditional superstition, it's not impossible to suddenly drag a few princes to spank their butts and make them cry.

After tossing and tossing for half an hour, Princess Lan of Kaiping finally arrived in a hurry. After a hasty salute, she stood outside the delivery room to comfort her daughter. She came in a hurry with a cold wind on her body, so she didn't dare to enter the delivery room directly.

There is no need for anyone to order, the lights in the palace are brightly lit like daytime, the sacrifices at Fengxian Hall have already begun, and all civil and military officials outside the palace have also received the news, and most people are eagerly hoping that the Crown Princess will give birth to the grandson .

Especially the officials of the Xungui Group, the Royalist Party, and the Eastern Palace. Their fortunes, grandparents, and grandchildren are closely related to the orthodoxy of the Tian Family.

More and more officials gathered in front of the Chengtian gate, talking in low voices to bless the emperor and grandson to come to the world smoothly, so as to continue the inheritance of the Tianjia ancestral temple.

Some of the officials were wearing court clothes and some were wearing ordinary clothes. The higher the rank, the more they were wearing court clothes.

There were also some senior officials who secretly sneered, thinking that it was already night, even if the grandson was born smoothly, the Holy Majesty would not let them enter the palace for a banquet.

Regardless of the officials in the court, the officials at the bottom of the capital are gearing up. Since last month, the governor of the capital has ordered the officials to secretly prepare many red and purple silk ribbons, which will be hung all over the place when the grandson comes into the world The city map is auspicious, His Royal Highness Bo Sheng smiled.

If things don’t go well and something unbearable happens, then nothing happens, the red silk ribbon is destroyed on the spot, and marriages are prohibited in the city for the next few days, waiting for the imperial court’s order.

Time passed little by little, and the originally lively scene became more and more silent. Everyone knew that a woman gave birth after giving birth, let alone twins this time.

It is false to say how sad and depressed they are. After all, they are not their heirs. Besides, the fact that the princess is pregnant means that there is nothing wrong with the prince. Affect the overall situation, let alone shake the foundation of the country.

But it is true that they are in a bad mood. The Holy One loves His Highness the Crown Prince, and Aiwu and Wuxia must also cherish the emperor's grandson from the Eastern Palace. If there is an emergency, the Holy One may lose his temper on them in grief...

The heavens are pitiful, their life is already very difficult, but they can't stand the toss of the Holy Majesty, so they should bless the Crown Princess to give birth to the grandson safely, so that the joy of the family relationship can resolve the panic of the Holy Majesty.

Pots of blood flowed out from the East Palace, screams followed by screams, the eyes of the two fathers turned black, mountains of corpses and seas of blood were not uncommon, and there were millions of dead souls under a military order. It's not so easy to calm down when you close your own blood.

Zhu Biao is preparing to be a father, the first time a big girl gets on a sedan chair, and Zhu Yuanzhang has no experience. Although he has many children, just like when Zhu Biao was born, he led an army to besiege Jiqing. When the first few children were born, he They are all fighting outside.

When the founding of the country and proclaiming the emperor do not have to go out to fight, there are already a large group of sons and daughters under the knees, and it is not so rare to be born again. Basically, they let Queen Ma go and see, and do what they have to do.

It was the first time that he had come here to wait outside the main hall, and the only thing he was thinking about was his grandson, not just the grandson, it was very likely that he would be the future prince of Ming Dynasty, the future emperor, and the future successor of Zhu Mingxia. .

Wow ~ wow ~ wow ~

Finally, a special cry of a baby suddenly sounded in the East Palace, Zhu Biao shuddered uncontrollably, while Zhu Yuanzhang beside him raised his head and laughed loudly.

After a while, a court lady walked out briskly and kowtowed happily to the father and son: My servant congratulates the Holy Lord and congratulates His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Princess has given birth to the eldest grandson of the Emperor for me!

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he waved his hand, he was going to distribute the rewards widely, and then he was going to kowtow to the ancestors in person in Fengxian Hall and tell the good news to the ancestors. Our family's country will definitely be passed on.

Zhu Biao hurriedly asked: How is the princess, is there another one?

The maid replied: The crown princess is well. The empress is currently feeding the crown princess with ginseng soup to replenish her strength. Granny Zhang said that the other little highness is also in the right fetal position and will give birth soon.

Okay, we got it, you go back to serve immediately, we will be rewarded a lot later, all of them will be rewarded, hahaha!

Biao'er, you are going to be a father, and we are also going to be the emperor's grandfather. We are so happy. I will go to the ancestors with my father to thank our ancestors in a while. Thank you, the ancestors, the spirits of the ancestors in the sky, bless our Zhu family's descendants to continue the Yanmian ancestral temple.

Zhu Biao was also completely relieved, and then he had to face the reality. He had a son, but there was another one who didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. If it was a daughter, it would be great. It can be difficult to handle.

After Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, he also reacted. The father and father looked at each other. Old Zhu has always been a staunch defender of the eldest son inheritance system, but if these two grandchildren were born almost at the same time...

At this moment, another baby cry sounded, and the one that had just subsided was also stimulated to howl, one after another quite methodically.

Both of them wanted to know if this was a man or a woman, but they were so entangled that they didn't dare to ask, so they could only wait anxiously for someone to come out to inform them, but it took a long time for Empress Ma to come out.

He didn't hold the baby. After all, it was late autumn night, and the newborn baby couldn't stand the cold. Empress Ma's face was also a little strange, mixed with joy and confusion. Lao Zhu understood his wife's face, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Empress Ma said: Luohua strives for success, and has added two grandchildren to my Zhu family in one breath. This is a great thing, isn't it Chongba?

Yes, it's a great thing, we have to let our ancestors have fun too!

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally happy. It is better to have grandsons than no grandsons, let alone two grandsons, double the happiness.

Since the reality is like this, then there is no need to tangle, the two of them are strong-willed people, and they have never seen any big storms, let alone two mere childish children, it is really nothing to say.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was in his prime in the spring and autumn, and Zhu Biao, the prince, was not as weak as the crown. It was not an urgent matter to establish who was the emperor's grandson. There was plenty of time to think carefully.
