The warriors held the Qing Dao flag and entered first, followed by the crimson flags. They were protected by many guards from the East Palace holding ceremonial cloaks, Ge cloaks, halberds and cloaks, my staffs, ritual knives, ban swords, standing melons, lying melons, stirrup sticks, bone flowers and golden axes. The princess's car drove into the palace.
Behind them are the mighty eunuchs and maids holding ring festivals, green square umbrellas, red round umbrellas, red embroidered round umbrellas, red embroidered square fans, red embroidered round fans, green embroidered round fans, covered with gold and silver. Gold and silver foot pedals, silver whisks, bright silver water basins, celadon jade jugs, nine-hole lotus root silk incense burners, incense sticks, two teams of red gauze lanterns, a small sedan, followed closely by the two leaves of the walking barrier.
All the princes and wives looked at her with incomparable greed. Even though she was considered a high-class lady and looked noble and extraordinary wherever she was placed, in the case of the Crown Princess, she looked no different from an ordinary village woman.
The two accompanying maids held the jade and opened the curtain as they wished, and the Crown Princess in luxurious palace clothes sat inside. The ladies invited her again, the eunuch placed the gold and silver pedals, and Xu Miaoyun, the legitimate daughter of the King of Zhongshan, personally stepped forward to support her.
Chang Luohua put his hand on the soft hands of his future siblings, got out of the car lightly, and gave a half salute to the leader, Princess Zhongshan, as if he had met her as a junior.
They were all women, and there were no men, so there was no need to be polite in the front yard. Everyone gathered around the princess and went directly to the back house. Chang Luohua first summoned the imperial doctor and carefully inquired about the situation of the mother and daughter.
This carefulness is very meaningful in the eyes of others. Not to mention that she is just the granddaughter of the Prince of Zhongshan, even the eldest grandson will not cause the Crown Princess to be so concerned.
But there are also a few short-sighted people who can't help but feel sour. They all know that King Zhongshan's hard work and merit are the most honorable, but none of you have risked life and death for the sake of the Zhu family. This is too much.
Chang Luohua didn't notice the expressions of these people, or rather she didn't bother to notice them. At her position, she didn't need to look at the faces of any married women.
Xu Miaoyun noticed it, but didn't say anything. These were the first wives of several uncles who were married when they were still in the wild. They were good at managing their livelihoods, but they were not so good at talking about other things. Sometimes their words were biased. It's ugly, but my mother won't argue with them.
Chang Luohua asked the imperial doctor to take care of her carefully and not to rush back to the palace. After that, he smiled at Princess Zhongshan on the side: "It's really gratifying and congratulatory. The prince and I can feel at ease. I also want to congratulate the princess on the treasure."
Princess Xie stood up with joy and thanked her: "Why should His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess care so much about a small family matter?"
Several marquises followed and flattered her, and they were enjoying themselves. After a while, Mrs. Xie waved and said: "Bring the child here and ask the Crown Princess to see him."
Chang Luohua stretched out his hand to stop him: "When a baby is born, his soul and body are fragile and difficult to see others. It's not too late to see you again after the month is stable."
"The same goes for young lady. I have brought a lot of nourishing medicinal materials. I need to take good care of them during the first month of my life in order to regain my vitality."
As she was talking, Princess Zhongshan went out to apologize. After a while, a large number of princes and wives came back. Princess Kaiping was among them. Chang Luohua stood up to greet her, but she still had to let her mother see the gift before she could return the gift. Mother and daughter had always been distinguished from each other. .
If the concubines who were there just now were close to the Kaiping Palace, the ones who came now were just for the Crown Princess. The stupid ones were in the minority after all, so everyone could probably guess what it meant.
The birth of an ordinary girl is not worthy of their coming in person, but if it is a grand concubine, it is worth it. When the concubine grows up in the future, she will have a humane face when talking about this matter, so why not? Not for that.
Of course, they didn't come empty-handed. The door of the palace was almost blocked by the large carts and small boxes of gifts. This matter quickly spread to the government and the public. The King of Zhongshan, who had been in the cold for many years, seemed to suddenly become a hot topic.
After a while, Princess Xie went to welcome the two nobles back. When they entered, all the wives except the Crown Princess stood up. These two were Princess Deng of Jin and Princess Xie of Chu.
One was the daughter of the Duke of Wei Deng Yu, and the other was the daughter of the Xie family of Yongping Marquis. They were both noble daughters of martial arts. They came in gracefully and bowed respectfully to the Crown Princess first, and then accepted the gifts from all the ladies.
The princess is a minister in front of the crown prince, but she is a king in front of the wives.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to be a sister-in-law. Chang Luohua also took care of these two younger siblings, but he also kept a distance and was not too close. After all, although they were the eldest sister-in-law, she and the prince were not much older than the two younger brothers and sisters-in-law. , there is no need to act like an elder.
Everyone sat down again according to their rank, and Princess Jin asked impatiently: "The emperor's sister-in-law is here in such a hurry, but she has to make a decision for her son. I don't know if it will be for Yang'er or Liang'er, and I don't know if the father is... got it."
There was quite a bit of resentment in her tone. Although her stomach had not yet swollen, she was originally thinking that her son, the future prince of the Jin Palace, would definitely marry a noble girl, and the Xu family would naturally be the first to do so. within the scope of consideration.
Princess Xie of Chu frowned and said, "What are you talking about, second sister-in-law? The King of Zhongshan is the pillar of the country, and the prince is also a pillar of talent. Now they are all running around for military and national affairs. His Royal Highness and the emperor's sister-in-law are looking after you."
Princess Jin hummed: "The emperor's sister-in-law hasn't spoken to me yet, but it's obvious that you can speak, and you don't have any respect for yourself."
As he spoke, he raised his chin and said to Madam Yongping Hou: "I don't know how Madam raised her. When I was talking to the Crown Princess, it was her turn to interrupt."
Mrs. Yongping Hou responded calmly: "The Princess of Chu, the Crown Princess and you are sisters-in-law. If you can talk to the Crown Princess, the Princess of Chu can naturally talk to you. As for education, things in my house, I won’t bother you to ask.”
"you…!"
Princess Jin didn't want to see Princess Chu. In fact, she was still very enthusiastic. If Xu Miaoyun was also included, two of the four sisters-in-law were the legitimate daughters of the prince, and they were all more noble than her, so she wanted to win over this woman from the Marquis Palace. , but I didn’t expect to pretend to be aloof.
If you want to marry the crown princess, you don’t want to see if she wants you!
Everyone looked at Mrs. Wei Guogong with vague eyes, but they were shocked to find that Mrs. Cao had the same expression as her daughter, and something was about to come out of her mouth.
Princess Zhongshan hurriedly intervened to calm the atmosphere, and everyone laughed and drank tea. However, they could not help but feel pity for Duke Wei in their hearts. It was not easy to deal with this wife and daughter.
Fortunately, the Cao family did not give birth to a son. Otherwise, depending on such an upbringing, if there were a legitimate son, the Duke of Wei might not be able to last long.

"Speaking of which, it's time for you to decide on the order of names for your grandchildren. Yang'er Liang'er is getting older, and the second and third children are getting married."
Lao Zhu was very happy to learn that Xu Da had a granddaughter. After all, it was decided early on that his son would marry a daughter of the Chang family and his grandson would marry a daughter of the Xu family.
The integration of the blood of these two pillars of martial arts into the Zhu family also represents the further stability of the Ming Dynasty, and to a certain extent, comforts the martial arts.
Zhu Yuanzhang took out the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty that he had written long ago. Zhu Biao took it and took a look. Good guy, he had even drafted the names of his thirteenth son and grandson who were just half a month old.
After becoming an official, he became a smart and handsome man who filled the court, Nai, Ding and Yi. It was said that Yilian was beautiful and elegant, and Bingyao was strong and Hongji.
Zhu Biao naturally had no objection to this and asked, "Then Yang'er Liang'er is the generation of Yun."
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked the short beard on his chin and shook his head: "Yang'er is our eldest grandson and a twin. We are going to give him another name, Hero!"
"Hahaha, Zhu Xiongying, Hero Zhu, Biao'er, what do you think?"
It's still Zhu Xiongying, but it's different. Zhu Biao bowed and saluted: "My son, I am a hero for you. I thank my grandfather for giving me the name. Long live, long live."
"Okay~" Zhu Yuanzhang happily accepted the gift and said, "As for Liang'er's name, we have discussed it with your mother. Let's call her Yunxi."
Zhu Biao could only thank his son once again, but it seemed that his father had no intention of naming Chun'er. It was obviously his special love for his legitimate grandson, and he also wanted to rectify his views and rectify his legitimate concubines.
