Zhao Shan was stunned for a moment as if hearing the sound of nature.
The child's cry seemed to be the most moving music, which made Zhao Shan intoxicated. From then on, he really had children in this world and had a continuation of his bloodline.
Zhao Shan was relieved, and Po Wen came out to announce the good news, saying loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are a princess."
Zhao Shandao: "Here's a big reward."
Po Wen went back to work happily, while Zhang Xu carried out Zhao Shan's arrangement.
Zhao Shan waited for a while, and everything in the room was cleared. Xu Yu'er was lying on the bed with a pale face, looking very tired.
Next to Xu Yu'er, the child who had cried previously had fallen asleep.
Zhao Shan looked at the child. The skin was as red as a little monkey, and it was a little wrinkled. There was no baby fat, and it would take some time to grow out.
Zhao Shan's eyes showed deep joy.
This is his child.
Xu Yu'er looked apologetic and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine is useless. I only gave birth to a daughter, not a son for Your Majesty."
This era still favors boys over girls.
Zhao Shan did not have such a concept. He took Xu Yu'er's hand and said softly: "Hello, my daughter. She is a little cotton-padded jacket. I like her. I have to take good care of her and don't be careless during the confinement period."
Seeing that Zhao Shan really liked him, Xu Yu'er felt relieved and no longer felt depressed and decadent.
Zhao Shan continued: "My daughter's name is a joyful one, and her name is Zhao Yue. I hope she will be happy and carefree for the rest of her life."
Xu Yuer nodded hurriedly after hearing this.
Zhao Shan even thought of a name, and he obviously liked her. What Xu Yuer was most afraid of was that Zhao Shan didn't like his daughter.
Zhao Shan added: "My daughter has been born, can she follow me back to the palace?"
"not going back."
Xu Yuer shook her head again.
There was a look of longing in her eyes, and she said: "I feel very relaxed and comfortable during this time when I am living outside. I have never been so relaxed."
"When I get up every day, I don't need to worry about the intrigues in the harem or the interpersonal relationships in the palace. I only need to take care of myself."
"I still want to live here."
"Your Majesty, please give me permission."
Xu Yu'er really hated the situation in the palace and was unwilling to go back. She believed that even if Zhao Shan had a child, it would be impossible for him to abandon her mother and daughter.
Zhao Shan did not force it, but nodded and said: "If you want to stay, just live here temporarily. When you want to go back, I will make arrangements. Anyway, the child is still young, so it will not have any impact."
Xu Yu'er smiled like a flower and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all, she had just given birth and was physically exhausted. After talking to Zhao Shan for a while, she closed her eyes to rest.
Zhao Shan squatted down and looked at his daughter next to the bed, and then began to look at her carefully. His daughter's eyebrows are similar to his, her nose is straight and straight, and her facial features are more like Xu Yu'er's, making her appear more delicate.
Zhao Shan held his daughter's little hand and couldn't help laughing, as happy as a child.
Xu Yu'er opened her eyes and glanced at Zhao Shan, with a smile on her lips, and continued to rest.
Zhao Shan teased the child for a while, kissed Xu Yu'er's forehead, stood up and left the yard.
He looked at Zhang Xu beside him and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xu, I don't want any gossip to spread here, let alone anyone harming the child. Please arrange for people to keep an eye on me. Anyone who has any thoughts will be killed first and reported later."
Zhang Xu solemnly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have arranged everything and nothing will go wrong."
Zhao Shan nodded and returned to the palace.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Shen Yuanqing came over on his own initiative and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Zhao Shan asked: "What's wrong with Qing Shen?"
Shen Yuanqing solemnly said: "Your Majesty squeezed 200,000 taels of gold and millions of taels of silver from Xiliang. I asked you to allocate money to buy food from various places. The money left in the treasury is not money, but a dead thing. The money must be used Only when you get up can it have an effect.”
Zhao Shan asked: "Why do you want to buy grain in large quantities?"
Shen Yuanqing replied: "I have investigated the food situation this year and found that there is a slight drought in the Guanzhong area near Luoyang. In addition, the drought in Jizhou, Jingzhou and other places is slightly more severe."
"In a time of peace and prosperity, the court would provide disaster relief and the place would be stable. It wouldn't be a big problem."
"However, the world is in chaos, bandits are killing people indiscriminately, and the princes are attacking. Under such a general environment, no clues can be seen in the short term. After the autumn harvest, the drought will trigger a series of reactions, causing food prices to rise."
"It is foreseeable that grain prices will rise further after this year's autumn harvest."
"It will be too late to buy food by then."
"Your Majesty's army is growing in size and consumption is increasing day by day. Without sufficient food reserves, it is very dangerous."
Shen Yuanqing looked solemn and said: "Especially King Zhao Rui of Chu is good at business and always likes to hoard. I am worried that Zhao Rui will use grain to do things during the autumn harvest in the second half of the year, so we must prepare in advance."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "How much money do you need?"
Shen Yuanqing said: "With two hundred thousand taels of silver, I am enough to operate. The purchase of grain is not necessarily a strict purchase. You can lower the price first and then purchase on a large scale. Many shopkeepers of the Shen family are fully capable of operating."
Zhao Shan said forcefully: "Grain is a strategic material. I will give you five hundred thousand taels of silver. If it is not enough, I will give it to you again. You must be careful when purchasing and transporting grain, and it cannot be robbed."
"I understand!"
Shen Yuanqing became excited.
With Zhao Shan's arrangement, he no longer had to worry and could just go ahead and do it. As the Minister of Household Affairs, Shen Yuanqing is very good at these aspects.
After Shen Yuanqing saluted Zhao Shan, he left in a hurry.
Zhao Shan finished handling the government affairs at hand and came to Cao Mengchan's palace near evening. The two had dinner and wandered around the harem. Zhao Shan told about Xu Yu'er and the child's name: Zhao Yue.
Cao Mengchan was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, this incident happened. She was surprised and surprised. She did not object or dissuade. She said softly: "Your Majesty, I will handle Sister Xu's affairs well and will not let the child be wronged."
Zhao Shan said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Cao Mengchan shook his head and said, "This is my concubine's duty. It's not hard work."
The two chatted while walking, and the atmosphere changed slightly, not as harmonious as before.
Back in the palace, Cao Mengchan hugged Zhao Shan with both hands, her plump breasts squeezing Zhao Shan's chest, her eyes were as tender as water, but there seemed to be a flame burning deep in her eyes.
Cao Mengchan's breathing was slightly rapid, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, I want to have a child."
Xu Yuer's incident gave Cao Mengchan a sense of crisis.
She hugged Zhao Shan and rubbed it.
"I satisfy you."
Zhao Shan looked at the charming Cao Mengchan, picked up Cao Mengchan and went to the bed.
After marriage, Cao Mengchan became more mature, and this time she was even more eager and proactive than ever before. She took off her long skirt, revealing her fair neck and mutton-fat white jade skin. The faint fragrance lingered in her nose, arousing the desire in her heart.
