sick princess

"Now that the harem is empty and the emperor's heirs are not prosperous, it is time for the emperor to select some beautiful women to enter the palace, so as to continue the heirs for the royal family."

This is not the first time that Emperor Yongjia has heard such words. Countless people are persuading Emperor Yongjia to draft, or they are really worried about the emperor's heir, or they want their daughter to enter the palace as a concubine and win the honor of their relatives.

Emperor Yongjia heard this when he was just out of the filial piety period. The Tao said that Emperor Yongjia had already ascended the throne as emperor, but there were only a few people in the harem. The first emperor prayed for three years. During this period, it is not appropriate to accept concubines.Naturally, it is possible to get close to the empress. The empress was pointed out to him by the late emperor. Presumably, the late emperor must have hoped that their husband and wife would be harmonious and that they could have more sons.

Now, three years have passed in a flash, Empress Fu has two princes under her knees, and she was diagnosed with pregnancy not long ago. Those who intend to send their daughters to the palace are naturally anxious.If their daughter can't enter the palace as soon as possible, what will happen to them when the two princes under Empress Fu grow up?At that time, even if their daughter is lucky enough to give birth to a prince, they may not be able to compete with Empress Fu and her son.

"This is my family matter, and you don't need to discuss it."

Emperor Yongjia is now only focused on state affairs, and when he has time to spare, he goes to accompany Empress Fu and his sons, or goes to the Empress Dowager Xu to fulfill his filial piety, and from time to time he even calls his sister into the palace to connect with each other. Very fulfilling, obviously not prepared for the draft.But how could the courtiers below agree?

"The matter of the emperor's heir is related to the foundation of the country. The heavenly family has no personal affairs. Let the emperor learn from it."

"Oh, so according to Qing's opinion, which women should I bring into the harem? The daughter of Li Aiqing's family, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, the granddaughter of Mr. Wu's family, the Minister of Officials, or the daughter of Zhang Aiqing's family?" Emperor Yongjia glanced coldly. The few people who jumped the most.

The few people whose names were named were all a little flustered, but they had the determination to stay in the officialdom for many years, and they didn't show anything on their faces: "As long as the emperor agrees to recruit beautiful women into the palace, and continue to be the royal family's heirs However, which family's daughter is chosen to enter the palace depends on the wishes of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and I have no right to question it."

"Well, I have no right to question it. If the lovers don't say it, I would think that the lovers want to imitate the former emperor's imperial concubine and concubine Hui."

The imperial concubine and concubine Hui of the former emperor had been degraded to common people because of their crimes, but Emperor Yongjia still used their original titles to address them.The imperial concubine is the deputy queen, unless there is no queen in the middle palace, she will not be named easily.At the beginning, when the Zhou family was canonized as an imperial concubine by the late emperor, many people commented that the Empress Dowager Xu would lose her position?

"When the first emperor was here, his concubines were unknown, and there was no distinction between superiority and inferiority. My mother and the queen suffered from wives and concubines. The father and the emperor left early because of the villain. Now, you have proposed to let me choose the show, I'm afraid it's not for the sake of extending my descendants, but for recreating the chaos of the past!"

These words are heartbreaking, whether it is a person who is sincerely thinking about the royal family, or a person who wants to make a fortune with his daughter at home, when they hear this, they all fall to their knees: "Your Majesty, I dare not think so."

With this in mind, if anyone still insists on letting Emperor Yongjia choose the draft, wouldn't he be the person with ulterior motives in Emperor Yongjia's mouth?

Emperor Yongjia said: "Since this is the case, don't bring up the matter of the selection in the future. I and the empress already have two princes, and there will be more princes in the future. I will do nothing for the royal family. We worry."

After Emperor Yongjia stepped down, someone whispered: "The emperor is more majestic than when he first ascended the throne..."

"Who said it wasn't..."

Nowadays, Emperor Yongjia can reach an agreement with his courtiers most of the time, and can reconcile with each other when they disagree. Only on certain issues, Emperor Yongjia is very persistent. Even if the courtiers oppose him, he will try his best to reject it. Discussions by all, Gan Gang is arbitrary.

The Yongjia Emperor in the court hall has one face, and the Yongjia Emperor in the court hall has another face.

In the final analysis, Emperor Yongjia did not cultivate such arrogance and sharpness for the purpose of playing prestige in front of his wife and mother.

"Go, go to the Queen's Palace."

There was so much trouble in the previous dynasty, it is impossible for Empress Fu to be in the harem without hearing about it. He has to forgive Empress Fu's heart. Empress Fu is pregnant now, but she must not let her worry too much.

Unexpectedly, after arriving at Fengyi Palace, Empress Fu greeted her early: "The emperor is back? It's a bit cold today, the emperor might as well drink some hot tea so that he can take a rest." Then he said to Lanzhi: "Hurry up and hug the eldest prince and the second prince."

Today, the royal heirs are enlightened early, and most of them start teaching literacy and learning the thousand-character script when they are three years old.

The Eldest Prince is the eldest son of Emperor Yongjia, and Emperor Yongjia is naturally very concerned about the education of the Eldest Prince, and spends some time every day teaching the Eldest Prince how to read and read.The palace people in Fengyi Palace also knew about it, so they responded with a smile and went down to bring the two princes up.

Emperor Yongjia raised his hand to stop them: "It's not busy, I'm here today, I just want to talk to the empress, please step back first."

"Yes."

The people below guessed that Emperor Yongjia had something private to say to Empress Fu, so they closed the door when they left.

"Come on, come and sit down, you are a person with two bodies now, so you can't be tired." Emperor Yongjia personally pulled Empress Fu and sat beside him, looking softly at her belly: "Today, our child Did you bother me?"

Empress Fu touched her lower abdomen: "It's not troublesome, this child is not as naughty as those two, it's very strange, the concubine thought, maybe it's a daughter."

"It doesn't matter if it's a daughter, we already have two princes, and if we have another princess, we will have both sons and daughters."

Empress Fu smiled, her face full of maternal brilliance.Over the past few years, she has lived a comfortable life, and her complexion has become better and better.The aloof and indifferent temperament of the past has disappeared even more.

"Empress—do you have anything you want to ask me?" Seeing that Empress Fu hadn't spoken for a long time, Emperor Yongjia finally couldn't help asking.

Empress Fu raised her eyes and glanced at Emperor Yongjia: "The concubine said that no matter when, the concubine will trust the emperor."

These words warmed Emperor Yongjia's heart, she really remembered what he said back then.Unknowingly, they have cultivated this tacit understanding.

Although they didn't trust each other at first, but they supported each other, and they finally got to where they are today step by step.Thinking about it this way, this friendship becomes more and more precious.

Neither of them spoke again. After a while, Empress Fu rested her head on Emperor Yongjia's shoulder silently, which was an act of trust and dependence.

Emperor Yongjia wrapped his arms around Empress Fu, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Their most difficult days have passed, and they will only live better in the future.
