As soon as Zhao Duan came in, everyone noticed something strange about him.
The Queen asked directly: "Your Majesty, did anything good happen to you today? Why are you so happy and why did you even call everyone over to have a meal together?"
As soon as she said this, she immediately attracted the attention of others. They all pricked up their ears and waited carefully for Zhao Duan's answer.
Zhao Duan chuckled, first waved his hand, and waved away the palace maids who were playing songs and dances, then raised the letter in his hand and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha! You guessed right, there is indeed something good today!
Guess what? Today I actually received news that someone from the sixth family has it!
I finally have a grandson or granddaughter!
How can this make me unhappy?
Do you think this is worth celebrating? ! "
As soon as Zhao Duan said these words, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone opened their mouths!
The sixth princess is actually pregnant!
no! Why is she pregnant? ?
I don’t know if it’s a curse directed at the Zhao and Song royal family.
The bloodline of the royal family has always been thin. Except for Da Zongzheng, who has five children, most of the time it has been a single generation, with only two children occasionally appearing. .
Only to this day have three more children survived to adulthood.
However, even though there were five brothers in the late emperor's generation, only three of them, the late emperor Dazongzheng and King Zhenxi, survived in the end.
And because of this reason, the royal population of Zhao Song has never been very prosperous.
If it were another royal family, more than a hundred years would have been enough for the royal family's population to develop to an extremely terrifying level. However, in the Song Dynasty, the number of people in the royal center was not as large as that of a large family!
In Zhao Jun's generation, none of his grandchildren have appeared until now, but Zhao Duan is extremely worried.
But the imperial doctor could not tell what was wrong. Now that Zhao Jun has a child, this is a great news for Zhao Duan and the royal family, but for the princes, it is a heavy blow. !
It's okay to say that the fifth prince is not married yet, but the fourth prince's eyes immediately turned red. How could he blurt out this sentence so quickly? If Meng Yuru hadn't grabbed his hand and asked him to calm down, I'm afraid he would have been in front of everyone today. Become crazy!
But even so, his face was still very ugly.
At this time, Meng Yuru also understood why the emperor had to let those who had families bring their families with them, and her face became sad for a while.
But then he seemed to remember something, and turned to look at the beautiful woman in a light blue dress sitting side by side with the prince behind the first desk on the upper left hand.
Sure enough, just as she thought, this woman also lowered her head, with a lonely look on her face, but it was different from her husband who was dragging her crazy.
The prince who always acted gentle and gentle outside had silently held her hand and comforted her.
That's right, this beautiful woman in a light blue dress is none other than the current crown princess, Li Qingning, the eldest daughter of Duke Ning's palace!
Inexplicably, my heart suddenly felt a little better.
Over at Da Zongzheng, the chopsticks that he was picking up fell off his hands at that moment, and fell on the plate with a clanking sound.
His face was full of astonishment, but he looked at Zhao Duan with a hint of surprise and expectation.
Having just rushed back from cleaning up the world, even Zhenxi King Zhao Chongguo, who had been doing nothing at the dinner, had a look of surprise on his face, and he couldn't help but straighten his posture.
Zhao Duan sat behind the desk, quietly taking in the expressions of the people below him, with a smile on his lips, very satisfied with their expressions.
After the queen was stunned for a long time, she stammered and asked: "Your Majesty, don't you want to joke with me?
Is this true? Is there really a princess from Lao Liu? "
Saying this, the queen's face was still filled with an incredulous expression.
Zhao Duan raised his eyebrows, handed the letter in his hand to him and said: "The eight hundred miles of urgent information, can this be false? You can tell it by yourself if it is true or false."
The queen hurriedly took the letter and opened it. After a while, she returned the letter to Zhao Duan with a dazed expression. Zhao Duan did not accept it. Instead, he called Cao Shuang over and handed the letter to him, asking him to hand it over. Pass it to everyone below and take a look.
"Come! Take a look, lest you think I'm lying to you."
The first one Cao Shuang gave to was naturally the prince.
After taking it, the prince read it and said with a smile: "Since it is true, it seems that the elder brother, my son, will prepare gifts for the future nephew or niece of the emperor as soon as possible."
Zhao Duan smiled and nodded: "Of course it should be."
Zhao Ming handed the letter back to Cao Shuang again, but this time Cao Shuang handed the letter to the fifth prince first.
After reading this, Zhao Sheng nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that the most capable among our brothers is the sixth one, who has done great things quietly!"
Zhao Sheng's words seemed normal, but Zhao Duan frowned after hearing this.
Cao Shuang stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to the fourth prince.
The fourth prince was unhappy at first. He snorted slightly, took the letter and read it once, and then his fists clenched.
Looking at the contents of the letter and thinking about how proud that guy Lao Liu might be now, an evil fire was rising in his heart.
He pressed his hand hard and was about to make a move when he suddenly heard a voice: "Bring it to you!"
The next moment, the letter in his hand was snatched away by someone else.
Looking up, who could do such a thing if not Zhao Chongguo, the king of Zhenxi?
The old man read the letter carefully, then he chuckled and said, "Hey, this guy seems to have taken what we said back to heart.
Emperor, I remember that the time you gave this boy was before March next year, right? "
Zhao Duan laughed and nodded: "Uncle Second Emperor is right. I did mean before March."
Zhao Chongguo touched his chin and said, "This guy can do it. It's only been a while now, but he has already sent good news. Not bad! Not bad!"
Zhao Chongguo praised, but the letter was snatched away by Da Zongzheng, who was already impatient.
After reading the letter, Da Zongzheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is a great happy event for the royal family. How about you order Princess Yun to come to Beijing and let her give birth in the capital?"
Only with the Imperial Hospital in the capital can we ensure the safe birth of the emperor's heir! "
As soon as Da Zongzheng said these words, Zhao Duan immediately touched his chin and started thinking.
But after a moment, he still shook his head: "The journey from Yunzhou County to Bianjing was full of bumps. Now that Princess Yun is pregnant, she should focus on resting.
It’s better not to worry about it, but this matter does need to be taken seriously. After all, this is my first grandchild.
In this way, I will immediately ask the imperial hospital to select ten imperial doctors who are proficient in fetal maintenance and care to go to Yunzhou County to take care of Princess Yun and ensure the safety of my grandson. "
Da Zongzheng nodded, but then added: "Your Majesty has a grandchild, which is an extremely important matter for the entire royal family. In this way, my clan's mansion will also send a clan relative to look after the child nearby, so that the child will be born as soon as he is born. It can be engraved on the family tree immediately!"
Zhao Duan understood what Da Zongzheng meant. This was to confirm the bloodline of the emperor's heir. With people from the Zongren Mansion watching, there would be no mistake.
"Who is Da Zong planning to let go?"
Da Zongzheng thought for a while and replied: "Let Xiao Twelve pass."
Zhao Duan was stunned and took a deep look at Da Zongzheng.
"Have you thought about this?"
Da Zongzheng nodded with a smile on his face: "I am getting old, it's time to let go."
"Okay! Just Xiao Twelve!"
