When Zhu Biao reached this stage, his biggest problem was whether he would have any heirs. The rest were trivial matters. As long as the legitimate son was born, not only the subjects of the East Palace, but also the high-ranking officials in the court would be completely at ease.
Needless to say, the importance of the eldest son in this era. This is why Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy when Zhu Biao was born. Only with heirs can there be a future. People in this era consider the long-term interests of the family, and It is not a temporary rise and fall.
Zhu Biao had been holding on for so long just because he wanted Chang Luohua to grow up. Giving birth to a child at a young age was always risky. It was not an exaggeration to say that half of the child was born and half died. Zhu Biao still couldn't bear to let go of his princess.
But now it's almost time. Previously, it could be said that it was because Zhu Biao was traveling north and south for work. Now Zhu Biao will not leave Beijing easily. If he can't have another child, there will be a problem.
I can only let Chang Luohua exercise more after I go back, but thinking about it, it should be okay. After all, the Chang family is considered a general, and Chang Luohua doesn't have his feet bound. He also likes to be active, and his body is quite healthy, at least.
After walking around for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang began to drive people away, and Zhu Biao resigned and returned to the East Palace. He happened to meet Yun Jin on the way, and she just came out of Kunning Palace. The two of them were walking towards the East Palace together, and Zhu Biao asked I asked about the situation in the harem during this period.
After all, all the news Quan Xu could receive was from the court. He didn't dare to pry into the affairs of the harem. First of all, there were some trivial matters. The harem would never be calm. There would always be various things. After all, there would be right and wrong when there were too many women. too much.
However, it was not a big deal if Empress Arima was suppressing her. The big thing was that the tenth prince Zhu Qi died three months ago. The child, who was only more than five months old, was said to be born with a congenital defect and had been sick since birth. After his death, Zhu Yuanzhang He was posthumously named King of Zhao, and he was buried according to the prince's specifications.
It stands to reason that if such an older child dies, even if it is a prince, it will be hastily arranged. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang valued his children and hoped that his younger son would have a good pregnancy in the next life with a princely funeral.
Zhu Biao felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but after all, he had never seen it before, so he was not too sad. It was just a pity that this child was not blessed. He was born into a noble family but died early, and he did not enjoy any blessings at all.
There was also Concubine Li who was quite favored recently, and the Holy Emperor had mostly been resting there for the past two months. Zhu Biao was a little surprised when he heard this, as his father was not someone who could easily get emotional.
Zhu Biao took a few steps and asked, "Is the Queen Mother ever angry?"
Yun Jin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has many rewards, so she asked me to take more care of you. Don't let others interfere."
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief. He was not worried about this concubine or that concubine. He was just worried that his mother would be so angry that she would be hurt. The rest were trivial matters. A mere concubine was nothing, just a plaything for people's entertainment.
The peony demon in front of the court has no status, only peonies are the true national beauty. As long as his mother and queen are stable, the rest are just foils, and the temporary novelty is not a concern.
After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Biao personally helped his princess up, then took her hand and walked into the house. Chang Luohua struggled for a few times and then let him go. The maids on the side followed him with lowered eyebrows. .
Zhu Biao pulled Chang Luohua to sit down. Liu Jin made a gesture as soon as he saw this posture. After a while, all the maids and eunuchs serving in the East Palace came. The high-ranking ones could enter the room and kneel, while the rest were kneeling outside. With.
When everyone was present, Zhu Biao said in a solemn voice: "I have been away from Beijing for a few months, and I often miss you in the palace. I am afraid that you will not serve me well and bully my mistress when she is young."
A group of people hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I don't dare to have such an idea. Your Highness, please be clear."
After Zhu Biao heard this, he continued: "That's good. In the East Palace, meritorious deeds must be rewarded and demerits must be punished. This will also be the case in the future. Liu Jin took out pieces of silver and cloth from the inner wall and distributed them as rewards."
After saying that, he waved away the people who had expressed their gratitude, and only a few close ones stayed. Zhu Biao's expression softened, and he said to Nuanyu and Xiaoshuang'er: "I brought a lot of good things from Jiangnan. You go ahead and pick it, you can get whatever you like, it’s an extra bonus. "
The little girls also saw that their father wanted to talk to the Crown Princess, so they went out happily. Chang Luohua also relaxed. Although they were married, they were still a little embarrassed to hold hands in front of everyone.
Zhu Biao looked amused and reached out to pick up the Crown Princess and put her on his lap. Chang Luohua screamed in fright and quickly turned back to the door, fearing that the slaves would see him and the Crown Princess would lose all his face. .
Zhu Biao buried his face in her arms and smiled: "Don't worry, someone must be guarding the door. No one dares to come in without an order."
Chang Luohua breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt very happy. Zhu Biao hit those people just now to support her. After all, the prince always took the initiative to run away after getting married, so it was inevitable that there would be some gossip.
Zhu Biao stroked her back and said: "Anyone who spreads rumors will be severely punished in the future. How can you not establish authority after entering the palace? How about asking Liu Jin to cooperate with you? The prince's personal eunuch should be qualified."
Chang Luohua also slowly reached out and hugged her husband and said, "No one dares to say anything unless the queen establishes her authority."
Zhu Biao laughed when he heard this and said: "Thanks to my mother for giving birth to me, if you can give me such an outstanding son, I will give you anything."
Chang Luohua wanted to say how I could give birth by myself, but years of rules still made her embarrassed to say such words. Of course she wanted to give birth. A child is as valuable as the mother, and the mother is as valuable as the child. Mother and child are natural. alliance.
Zhu Biao slowly nibbled upwards and said softly: "Father, the Queen and the Queen must push hard, you have to work hard."
………………………
The next morning, Zhu Biao felt that he had only slept for two hours. He was really tired from having a baby, so he got up in a daze and washed his face before feeling energetic.
After putting on his court clothes, he set off to Fengtian Palace. Zhu Biao still listened quietly during the court meeting. Both Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong took the initiative to petition the prince to take over Zhongshu Province. After being rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang, they retreated to the next best thing and petitioned the prince. Helms six or several of them.
Zhu Biao declined politely, saying that he still needed to study more. Now all the courtiers felt at ease, thinking that His Highness was just here to observe the government.
Zhu Biao was not in a hurry. He had not yet sorted out the plan to rectify the functions and powers of the government offices. It was related to the operation of the imperial court. Zhu Biao had to plan carefully, otherwise the impact would be too great if something went wrong.
Moreover, the group of people in Fengyang are coming back soon. They are Zhu Biao's direct descendants. Without them, Zhu Biao will not have reliable manpower, and it will be difficult to assign positions. Otherwise, no department he takes over will be able to operate according to his wishes.
