The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

But it's not that there are no substitutes, just some contraceptive decoctions. It can be said that from ancient times to the present, whether the emperor wants to let the concubine get pregnant is obviously the same, but the methods are different.

Just considering that the decoction would also harm the concubine's body, Liu Tao did not adopt it.

"Wow..." At this moment, a baby's cry came from the bedroom, and a new life was born.

Chapter 521 New Family

The heat in the delivery room was boiling, and it was basically not ventilated. With so many people and the temperature of the hot water, it seemed very stuffy.

It is said that pregnant women can't see the wind, and they insist on being bored in bed for a month, which is called confinement.In fact, if you really want to count, how can those ordinary women have this condition, most of them will go to the fields to do farm work after a day or two of rest after birth.

Of course, there are also sayings that it is fine now, but joint pain and arthritis in old age.In fact, Liu Tao thinks it makes sense. When I was young, I didn’t take good care of it, but when I was old, I was sick.Not to mention a lot of cancers at the age of six and 70, and at the age of five and 60.

Peasant women are peasant women, and most of them don't live to be 50 or 70 years old. Who cares about 80 to [-] years old?But rich people are different. There are people in their [-]s and [-]s, so it’s okay to pay attention.

"How are the warming preparations going?" Liu Tao asked the eunuch in the house.

"It's ready and can be put into use at any time." The eunuch who was asked was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly replied.

The warm room is specially prepared by Liu Tao for these mothers. It is wide enough for activities and reading. It can be heated by geothermal heat, and the ventilation is also good.It is mainly waste fuel, but Liu Tao can still afford the fuel cost.

"Hmm..." Liu Tao nodded, "Take care of the greenhouse, and the queen will move there to recuperate in two days."

"Observe the order!" The eunuch responded quickly, and then went down to make arrangements.

At this time, the Wen women had cleaned up the filth, simply bathed the child, wrapped it in cloth, and put it on the bed.It is not the first time Cai Yan has given birth, so although she is tired, she is still energetic.

"It's really hard work, my queen!" Liu Tao walked in and came to the bedside.

"The concubine is incompetent, this time she gave birth to a princess." Cai Yan replied apologetically.

"Haha, as I said earlier, it's the same to have a boy or a girl. Other people's family is other people's business. Here I follow my rules. What's wrong with the princess? If you are really talented, you can become the first empress of a big man!" Liu Tao smiled. road.

"Your Majesty, be careful, how can a woman be the emperor?" Cai Yan became a little anxious when he heard the words.

"That's right... How can a woman be an emperor..." Liu Tao sighed, but there was Wu Zetian in Huaxia who was short-lived.But in the past thirty years, he changed back to Li Tang, and in the end Wu Zhou was just a joke.

There have been female emperors in the island country next door. The main reason is that the emperor's blood has faith and divinity among the people, so even if it is a female emperor, they are willing to admit it.Huaxia can't do it, it's like 'the princes and generals have kindness' at every turn.

In Shi Naian's "Journey to the West", there is a sentence "The emperor takes turns to do it, and this year he will come to my house".Also because of this sentence, "Journey to the West" was once banned.

With the introduction of the imperial examination system, Liu Tao still has no way to allow women to participate in the scientific examination and become officials. In the final analysis, it is also a problem of the times.Anyway, women from noble families and wealthy families are in the minority.

In this era, the vast majority of women can show their faces, such as farming, doing business, or doing work, and they don't have their feet bound. They are much more free than in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

So the feminist movement and the like only take care of a small number of women in the end, offending most of the classes in this society.After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Tao did not deliberately engage in it.

"What's the name for the child?" Seeing Liu Tao's expression, Cai Yan really thought he had such an idea, so he quickly changed the subject.

"I asked my father about this... No, it was because he came to me and kept hinting in front of me that the child was going to be born. Seeing that he was so active, I didn't want to destroy his enthusiasm, so I asked him for advice." Liu Tao first expressed emotion.

Liu Yuan was an old man, and he was timid when he wanted to name his grandson.I'm probably also upset that the first two were given to Cai Yong, so this time, I probably plan to do it myself for the names of the grandsons (daughters).

After a pause, he continued: "Men have requirements, that is, to bring the five elements, and add what is lacking. Women's requirements are not big, sweet and cute, innocent and lively, gentle and kind, these meanings are fine."

"Isn't the Supreme Emperor too casual?" Cai Yan complained when he heard the words, and wanted to say that he was patriarchal, but he couldn't say it directly.After all, it is also the duty of a daughter-in-law to be filial to her parents-in-law.Talking bad about her parents-in-law behind her back is impossible for her who is well-bred.

"No way, who made him the Supreme Emperor?" Liu Tao also expressed helplessness, "According to this method of naming, it is called Liu Zhi."

Zhi is a grass that emits a fragrance that makes people stop, that is to say, I hope Liu Zhi will grow sweet in the future, so that people will stop at a glance.Girls, especially royal girls, are actually mostly used to marry courtiers.

Don't ask how virtuous, how knowledgeable, how good-looking, and how happy you are.Besides, the mother is Cai Yan, a talented woman, how could the daughter she taught be not virtuous?

"Liu Zhi...that name is pretty good too." Cai Yan heaved a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't a fancy name or a vulgar name.

There are brothels in this world. Although it is a place where literati and inkmen gather, there are also many courtesans who sell their skills but not their bodies.They originally had names, but after entering the industry, they would all be named after flowers.

Therefore, ordinary people don't care about giving their daughters a flower name, but those who are more particular will avoid it.

Don't underestimate the name, old people say 'a person lives up to his name', sometimes a name can directly affect a person's character.Let's just talk about Princess Liu whoring of Guantao, she is a genuine person as her name suggests.His daughter, Chen Ajiao, may be delicate and charming, but her arrogance is stronger.

"Although she looks a little different from Xiangzhi now..." Liu Tao hugged his daughter, looked at the hairless monkey-like little guy and laughed.

"Wow wow wow..." I don't know if I can understand Liu Tao's meaning, or if I'm not used to being hugged by him, the child started crying on the spot, and even took a pee.

Liu Tao also didn't understand why there would be feces and urine even though he hadn't eaten anything, but his body was wet, so it didn't matter.No, Cai Yan immediately took over and urged Liu Tao to go back and change his clothes.The latter returned the child and went back obediently.

The clothes had just been changed, but the family seemed to be commotioning again.

"What's the situation?" Liu Tao came out wearing new clothes and asked.

"Concubine Zhen seems to be about to give birth!" The eunuch passing by hurriedly replied, who would have thought that not long after Cai Yan gave birth, Zhen Jiang would start making noises, so I have to go out quickly, and call the stable woman return.

"Where are Concubine Ren and Kalier?" Liu Tao couldn't help but ask, don't wait until they give birth on the same day again.

"There is no response yet." The eunuch thought for a while and replied, the due date of the two is said to have to wait at least a few more days.It's just that the due date is only an estimate, and it is normal to advance or delay it. It is better not to advance more than one month.

Put it in later generations, one month in advance, at least there is an incubator.In this world, a month in advance would be really fatal.

"Send someone to take care of the two of you, and report immediately if there is any situation." Liu Tao ordered, and then walked towards Zhen Jiang.It seems that there is no way to be peaceful tonight...

After working for a long time, all the women came over, and after a little inspection, it showed that this was a fake labor, so there was no need to worry.It should be because I saw Cai Yan giving birth, so I reacted.

Liu Tao didn't quite understand this, but just to be on the safe side, he kept two stable women for one night.It wasn't until the next day, when Zhen Jiang was no longer in labor pains, that she rewarded the two stable women and sent them away.

Even so, at the beginning of August, the three daughters also gave birth one after another, adding four new members to the family.

Ren Hongchang was really strong, with two babies in one child, two boys, as if he wanted to make up for the regret of not being able to give birth to a boy for the first time.According to Liu Yuanqi's meaning, August belongs to gold, and the earth gives birth to gold, so the two were named Daitu.

So the elder brother was named Liu Tan, and the younger brother was named Liu Ji. This was the result of discussions between Liu Tao and Ren Hongchang.The elder brother is taken by Ren Hongchang, which means I hope he can be flat and broad, and have a stable heart. In the final analysis, he should not try to grab Liu Cong's throne.

The younger brother is called Liu Ji, because Liu Tao remembers that Liu Bowen's name is Liu Ji, and Bowen is his cousin.This name was chosen because it was compelling, and because it hoped to become a virtuous king.

Both Zhen Jiang and Kalier had daughters. Zhen Jiang's daughter was born first and was named Liu Wei; Kalier's daughter was born a day later and was named Liu Fen.

So far, Liu Tao has seven children.At the age of four girls, each of them can have at least four or five more children.In other words, in theory, he may have thirty children in the future.

Being born doesn't mean anything, being able to grow up is the key.The emperor's family is full of disputes. Before Liu Hong had Liu Bian, it is said that he also had several sons and daughters, but they all died young.I don't know if it's because of poor care, or because someone deliberately wanted him to die.

In the end, Liu Bian was sent to be raised by a Taoist priest, but he grew up smoothly, but he was dull and timid, and looked like he was hard to become a master.It's hard to say whether it's intentional to protect itself like this, anyway, it's already a conclusion now, so there's no need to prove anything.

In other words, even though I have seven children, the real ordeal is only now beginning.

Born in the emperor's family, this is the luck of these children, but also their greatest misfortune.

After the girls gave birth, they rested for a day or two, and then moved to live in the conservatory. It was warm enough here, so they didn't need to lie on the bed and cover the quilt all the time.There are sports equipment, a piano, a desk and books, and you can draw or play chess.

When not in confinement, it is used as an entertainment room, so it is not a waste.
