After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

Because the ministers in the court had been arguing endlessly about whether Emperor Jiaqing should adopt Prince Yu or the younger grandson of Prince Zhuang, and could not come to an accurate result, Emperor Jiaqing proposed to let the two of them live in the palace for a while, and treat them Let's get to know each other better and then decide whether to make one of them the crown prince.

None of the ministers had any objections to Emperor Jiaqing's decision. After all, it was useless no matter how much they argued. The final choice was still subject to the emperor's decision. They were only providing reference suggestions to the emperor.

Soon, Prince Yu and Xiao Shisun were sent to the palace and moved into the prince's residence specially designed for princes.

After the prince is born and even when he is young, he is raised and cared for by his mother. He usually lives with his mother in the six east and west palaces. Until he is six years old, he will move to the prince's house specially provided for the prince's residence.

However, Emperor Jiaqing had no children, so the prince's place was always empty.

"My nephew, please give my regards to your uncle!"

"Meet the Emperor!"

One is fourteen years old and the other is ten years old. There is a difference of four years between the two and two heads of height difference. Prince Yu has already started to have sex and has grown into a little boy, while the younger grandson is still short and has a big face. And the chubby baby fat.

"Everyone, get up." Emperor Jiaqing said to the two of them.

He also knew that adoption was inevitable. Even if he had a grudge in his heart, for the sake of the country and the country, he should adopt an heir. Besides, the two of them were just children, so he treated them very leniently and treated them with kindness. Without any personal emotion.

This was not the first time Emperor Jiaqing had met these two children. Prince Yu was the eldest son of Prince Yu and the grandson of Dowager Xiao. Prince Yu and Princess Yu often brought their sons to the palace to pay homage to Dowager Xiao. , so Prince Yu comes to the palace more frequently.

As for the young grandson of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Emperor Jiaqing saw him relatively rarely, only a few times during palace banquets, and his impression of him only stayed with him when he was a child.

"Since you have moved into the palace, treat this place as your own home and don't be too restrictive." Emperor Jiaqing said to the two of them in a gentle tone.

The two nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

However, they knew in their hearts that the emperor was just a kind word to them, and they did not dare to take it seriously. Moreover, they knew the purpose of coming here, so they naturally had to be cautious and perform well in order to be selected by the emperor. Become a prince.

When the two children had just entered the palace, Emperor Jiaqing would not immediately start to examine the two. Besides, choosing an adoptive candidate was a big deal, so he had to choose carefully.

He just asked about some basic information about the two of them with concern, and then said to them: "I guess you haven't gone to Cining Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother, right?"

Seeing the two men shaking their heads, Emperor Jiaqing stood up from his seat and said to them: "Let's go, I will take you to pay greetings to the Queen Mother first."

Naturally, the two of them had no objections to Emperor Jiaqing's words and followed him.

In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting on a soft couch looking at a blue and white underglaze red plum vase in a daze.

Knowing that today is the day when Crown Prince Yu and the young grandson of Prince Zhuang enter the palace, the emperor will definitely bring his two children to pay his respects to the queen mother, so the queen also came to the queen mother's place and waited to receive the two children.

As the Queen's legitimate wife, Emperor Jiaqing's adopted children will naturally be adopted in her name. In the future, the child will also be called her mother, so she is also very concerned about this candidate. It is best for the adopted child to be respected. her.

Aunt Qin, who had served the Queen Mother for many years, knew her master best. She knew that today was the day when Prince Yu and the younger grandson of Prince Zhuang entered the palace, so she was in a bad mood.

If there are no accidents, the emperor's adopted heir should be one of these two children. Once the emperor adopts the child, the child will become the emperor's child and the queen mother's grandson.

But that was not the emperor's biological child. What the Queen Mother wanted in her heart was the emperor's biological little prince, not someone else's child.

Even though the Queen Mother accepted this fact, she couldn't be happy at all.

In order to fight for the throne, she gave up a son. Finally, the younger son became the emperor, but she didn't expect that the younger son turned out to be childless. The empire that mother and son had finally won would have to be handed over to others in the future. What did she do? Be willing.

The Empress Dowager gave birth to two sons in total. The eldest son was once the prince, but was later deposed and died of smallpox. Although he was married when he died, the marriage was not long, only one year old, so he did not leave a single son. Son and half daughter.

If the eldest son could leave an heir, the Queen Mother and Emperor Jiaqing would not be so uncomfortable, because it is better to pass the throne to the heirs of the first prince than to anyone else. After all, the first prince's child is the direct grandson of the queen mother and the emperor of Jiaqing. The emperor's nephew.

When the former prince was still alive, the relationship between the two brothers was very good. If the former prince had not passed away, Emperor Jiaqing would not have become emperor. Instead, he would have assisted his elder brother in ascending the throne.

The little palace maid outside ran in to spread the news that the emperor and the others had arrived at the palace gate, so Aunt Qin reminded the queen mother in a low voice: "The queen mother, the queen mother, your majesty and the two young masters will be here soon."

After hearing Aunt Qin's reminder, the Queen Mother came back to her senses, moved her eyes away from the vase, and looked at the door, waiting for their arrival.

After a while, I heard the eunuch shouting loudly from outside: "The emperor has arrived."
