Domineering Daming

Zhu Xuru was pardoned, and immediately said: "It's the emperor's brother." After finishing speaking, he quickly walked into the palace.

Zhu Youjian looked at his back, exhaled two breaths of displeasure from his nose, and turned around to leave.

Zhu Xu entered the palace, thought for a while, and went straight to Kunning Palace.

He's going to sue Zhu Youjian!

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, brother five is bullying again!"

As soon as Zhu Xu entered Kunning Palace, he yelled loudly, took off his boots and threw them around.

Huan'er ran out from the inside, picked up Zhu Xu's boots, and said angrily, "Your Highness, Your Majesty must not be disturbed now!"

Zhu Xu didn't care, and went straight to the cloud bed where Queen Zhang was lying.

Empress Zhang was lying on the cloud bed with her belly protruding high, holding the embroidery in her hand, she smiled and said, "Okay, let him in, otherwise he won't know how to bother me."

Zhu Xu walked in with bare feet, sat on the stool next to the cloud bed, and said like potatoes pouring out of his mouth: "Sister-in-law, Brother Wuhuang is getting more and more unruly, and he is full of shame in front of outsiders in front of the palace gate." They taught me a lesson for half an hour, some were not, just for the sake of standing up..."

Empress Zhang picked up the embroidery frame and tapped Zhu Xu, and said with a full smile, "Okay, don't make me laugh, I'm about to give birth now, so if you have anything to say, go back quickly."

Zhu Xu blinked and said, "Is the emperor's sister-in-law, midwife, confinement wife, and imperial physician all ready?"

"Don't worry about these things." Empress Zhang looked at the embroidery and said with some difficulty with the needle, "Go back honestly and be your little monkey after I give birth. During this time, be honest with me no matter what."

Zhu Xu knew that Empress Zhang had always been gracious and magnanimous. This time, such an obvious warning was obviously because of the child in her belly. She was actually very worried.

Zhu Xu nodded seriously.

After talking seriously for a while, Zhu Xu left Kunning Palace.

"Your Highness." Zhu Xu returned to Jinghuan Palace, and Cao Huachun said as he walked: "The court has reached a consensus on the recall of Mao Wenlong, but there is still controversy about the candidate, mainly because the officials disagree."

Zhu Xu went into the bedroom to change clothes, and said after coming out: "There is no more suitable candidate. Jin Zhongshan will attend the palace dinner tonight, and he will propose Xiong Tingbi to go. Presumably, the emperor can make up his mind."

Cao Huachun was startled, and said: "Your Highness, you are going to the dinner too, so you won't be involved then, right?"

He knew that His Royal Highness Prince Hui had always avoided party disputes, and if he was called out in public, he might be dragged into it even if he didn't want to.

Zhu Xu waved his hand, and just about to speak, Yao Qingqing rushed in and shouted, "Your Highness, it's not good, something happened to your empress."

Empress Zhang is the only one who can make Yao Qingqing call her empress.

Without saying a word, Zhu Xu rushed out and ran in the direction of Kunning Palace.

When Zhu Xu arrived at Kunning Palace, there was already a group of people there.

Zhu Youxiao, other concubines, and even the letter king Zhu Youjian, the chief assistant Ye Xianggao and others were all there.

Empress Zhang is the empress of the Zhenggong Palace, and this childbirth is Zhu Youxiao's only heir. Once it is a boy, it must be the eldest son, and no one can be careless.

Zhu Youxiao was leaning on crutches, and beside him was Zhang Yanyao, who was dressed in red, looking anxiously into the room.

The maids, the old lady, and Queen Zhang's painful cries came from inside the door.

Zhu Xu came, but no one paid any attention to him, they were all anxiously watching and waiting.

It is no secret that Empress Zhang has physical problems. While everyone is concerned about whether the child will be a prince, they are also worried about whether the birth will be smooth.

Zhu Xu was the most worried. Standing behind Zhu Youxiao, he frowned and his face was tangled.

According to historical records, Empress Zhang gave birth to a stillborn baby, which was caused by Hakka's palace maid hammering her waist.Now that everything is going well, what he is most worried about is whether Queen Zhang will be implicated or have a difficult delivery.

The pain inside the door became louder and louder, passing through the gatehouse, it was heart-piercing.

Zhu Xu trembled when he heard it, and couldn't help covering his ears.

The most nervous one was Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the stool, frowning tightly, sweating all over his head, Zhang Yanyao comforted him softly from time to time, and wiped his sweat for him.

After half an hour, a child's cry sounded, and everyone's hearts were put in their stomachs.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the empress has given birth to a princess!"

Zhu Xu didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, but he was relieved that he didn't hear what happened to Queen Zhang.

"It's okay to be okay."

Zhu Xu comforted himself in a low voice.

Chapter 142 Believe in the King's Persuasion

When Empress Zhang gave birth to a daughter, several families were happy and others were sad.

Zhu Xu was happy with that group, no matter whether Queen Zhang gave birth to a boy or a girl, the most important thing for him was to hope that Queen Zhang would be safe.

Of course, there are more happy ones, such as the concubines in the harem.

There are even more unhappy ones, the long-awaited Zhu Youxiao and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Queen Zhang had just given birth and had no way to see people.Zhu Xu let go of a big rock in his heart, and went back to the palace to sleep peacefully.

Naturally, the dinner party still had to continue, but there were not many important people who wanted to participate.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Early the next morning, there was a knock on Zhu Xu's door.

Zhu Xu slept in the dark, got up angry, turned over and shouted: "Don't disturb my sleep even if it's a big thing!"

Yao Qingqing glanced at Cao Wenzhao and Cao Huachun from outside the door, hesitantly knocked again, and said softly, "Your Highness, Lord Jin Zhongshan is leaving Beijing today."

Zhu Xu's head hurt even more when he heard it, panting heavily over and over again, and finally crawled up in excruciating pain.

Washing and dressing were almost done with the help of Yao Qingqing. On the carriage leaving the palace, Zhu Xu was still groggy and his eyelids were clenched.

When they arrived at the post station, Zhu Xu rubbed his face and forced himself to wake up.

"Your Highness."

As soon as he arrived at the posthouse, Jin Zhongshan trotted out quite courteously, bowed and said, "Jin Zhongshan, I have met His Royal Highness King Hui!"

Zhu Xu forced himself to calm down, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty Jin, you don't have to be polite, the king is here to see you off."

As he said that, he took a look at it, big boxes, small boxes, more than a dozen boxes, this trip, Mr. Jin has gained a lot.

Jin Zhongshan took two steps forward, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the matter of reinforcements..."

"Don't worry, my lord." Zhu Xu rubbed his face and said, "Within half a month, the first wave of reinforcements will be available, and now we will wait for your king's arrangement."
