Chapter 412 Burial of the Dowager Concubine VS the Ruthless and Romantic Emperor (End)
Emperor Jing was busy with government affairs, and his mother was heartbroken by him. She quietly worshiped the Buddha and paid no attention to worldly affairs.
He was worried about leaving the full moon banquet to the concubines to organize, mainly because they were inexperienced and afraid that they would not be able to handle it well.
After much thought, Emperor Jing simply selected two experienced old ladies in the palace.
Let them prepare carefully for the full moon banquet of the second prince and the little princess.
Only when you encounter something important, just take it to him and let Lu Xi keep an eye on it.
The two nuns are experienced and both are old people in the palace. The full moon banquet was held very appropriately without any problems.
On the day of the full moon banquet, the palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful ribbons, and red silk was hung high, creating a festive and peaceful atmosphere.
The courtiers and wives, dressed in gorgeous clothes, entered the splendid palace in an endless stream, beaming with joy.
The full moon feast is held in Qianyuan Hall.
The Qianyuan Hall is generally not open to the public and is only used to entertain large-scale ceremonial banquets for important foreign envoys and important court officials.
Today the Qianyuan Hall is open to the public, with melodious music and dancing girls dancing, creating a prosperous and prosperous time.
The palace people shuttled among them, busy.
The concubines, ministers and wives who came to the banquet were all dressed up. They chatted in low voices, and their eyes occasionally turned to the twins held in the hands of the two wet nurses.
The twins are wrapped in delicate and soft swaddling clothes. They are carved in pink and jade, and the jade snow is cute. Their big black eyes are wandering around. They are not afraid of life and are very lovable.
Yu Yao was going to have a double month and did not attend the full moon banquet.
Only let the nanny take the two children out, while Amber and Liuli watched from behind.
Concubine Zhen came to Qianyuan Hall early with the eldest prince in her arms.
She looked at the pink and jade-carved dragon and phoenix fetuses in the hands of the two nannies, and her heart was full of envy.
The eldest prince was very weak when he was born, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind. At that time, everyone was worried that he would not be able to support him, so neither the Xisan nor the full moon banquet was organized.
Now that the eldest prince is getting better, but he missed it again, Concubine Zhen couldn't help but feel sad for the eldest prince when looking at this scene.
Obviously he is the most noble eldest prince, but he is not as beautiful as the second prince and the little princess.
Although Concubine Zhen feels aggrieved for the eldest prince, thinking that the eldest prince is healthy now is better than anything else.
As the ritual music played, Emperor Jing slowly walked into the Qianyuan Hall. He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a tall and straight posture, a handsome face, and steady steps. His face was filled with the joy and pride of being a father. .
He looked around, and his eyes finally fell on a pair of twins held carefully by the wet nurse, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Today, my prince and princess are one month old, so I specially organize this banquet to celebrate with all the ministers."
Emperor Jing's voice was loud and solemn, attracting everyone to congratulate him in unison.
He gently raised his hand and signaled the nanny to carry the twins to the front of the stage, letting everyone see the son of the Tian family.
"I now give the second prince the name 'Rong Qi' and the title of Prince. May he receive God's blessings and have long blessings. The little princess will be named 'Rong Wan' and can be crowned Princess Ruiyang. , I wish her to be gentle and virtuous, and to be blessed with good fortune and wisdom."
Emperor Jing's words were full of expectations, and his words were like an edict, instantly making the whole banquet boil.
Everyone was shocked, and they established him as the crown prince just after the full moon. This was extremely rare in the history of Daqian Kingdom. It can be seen that Emperor Jing's love for Concubine Chen went beyond the norm.
But no one dared to object at this time, and they all bowed their heads respectfully.
Then, Emperor Jing's eyes fell on the eldest prince in Concubine Zhen's arms, with a bit of pity in his eyes: "The eldest prince, I give you the name Rongkang. A person who is healthy means health and peace. I see you. The prince was very weak when he was born, and I was worried. Although he has improved now, I still hope that he will be safe and healthy in the future. I will name him King Kang. I hope that he will be free from illness and disaster in his life, assist the prince, and prosper our great dynasty together. "
As soon as this statement came out, it caused an uproar.
Although the eldest prince is not the daughter of Concubine Chen, Emperor Jing's move is undoubtedly a kind of comfort to his mother, Concubine Zhen, and is also his expectation for the eldest prince's future.
Concubine Zhen felt sour in her heart when she heard Emperor Jing conferring the title and conferring the title of Prince Kang on the eldest prince, but she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The name Rong Kang, as well as the title, are full of the emperor's wishes for the eldest prince. As long as the eldest prince can grow up healthily, she, as a mother, will have nothing more to ask for.
Everyone once again shouted long live and congratulated Emperor Jing.
Amidst the noise, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warm.
The palace ladies shuttled between the banquets, as light as colorful butterflies, and the trays in their hands were filled with all kinds of delicacies.
The aroma of fine wine fills the air, intertwined with the aroma of delicious food, making your mouth water.
The ministers began to toast each other and talk about court affairs and new affairs in the palace. Although their words were full of congratulations to the royal family, they also contained speculations about the future situation.
In the corner of Qianyuan Hall, some concubines gathered together and talked quietly.
"Concubine Chen is so lucky. The second prince was made the crown prince at such a young age. Her status in this palace will probably be unmatched by anyone in the future."
"Isn't that right? , look at Concubine Zhen, holding the eldest prince with a lonely look on her face. Although the eldest prince has also given the title of Prince Kang, the difference can still be seen at a glance. "
"We can only live a peaceful life in this palace, but we can't provoke Concubine Chen."
......
What happened at the banquet quickly spread to Qiong Hua Palace.
When Yu Yao heard that the second prince was named the prince, she just looked calm and didn't say anything.
Her child does not become a prince once or twice, so there is nothing surprising.
Not long after, the twins were brought back. They were obviously sleepy. They yawned delicately and fell asleep quickly.
Yu Yao had a gentle smile on her face, caressing the faces of the two children, and hurriedly asked the wet nurse to take the two children down to rest.
The full moon banquet ended quickly, the courtiers, wives and concubines dispersed one after another, and the palace returned to calm again.
Emperor Jing loved Yu Yao deeply and promised to be with her forever.
Now that he is determined to pamper her alone, the concubines remaining in the harem are useless and even an eyesore.
In fact, Emperor Jing thought it was nothing, mainly because Yao'er was worried.
I'm always worried that he can't help but sneak into that woman's palace in the middle of the night.
In order to avoid any setbacks or unnecessary conflicts in their relationship.
On this day, Emperor Jing made a decision to move all the concubines in the harem to live in the royal garden.
The treatment is also the same as in the palace, but not under his nose.
Of course, the eldest prince's concubine Zhen and Shu Guiren, who was about to give birth, stayed in the palace.
After all, I have children and it is impossible to move out with them.
Otherwise, how would the courtiers view the child in the belly of the eldest prince and Shu Guiren.
Mother is more valuable than her son, just as a son is more valuable than his mother.
Although he didn't like Concubine Zhen and Guiren Shu, Emperor Jing would also consider it more for the sake of his children.
When the news came out, the harem was in an uproar.
The concubines who were moved away cried and expressed their innocence and sorrow.
But Emperor Jing remained unmoved, showing his indifference and ruthlessness.
Yu Yao was quite happy when she heard this decision.
Finally no need to worry about the lecherous Dog Emperor sneaking out in the middle of the night.
But he was still full of tea and said to the Dog Emperor: "Your Majesty, although you are doing this for the sake of my concubines, those sisters who have been in the palace for many years and were suddenly moved away must be resentful of my concubines."
< br> Emperor Jing looked at her with a half-smile. , teasingly said: "How about I withdraw my decree and call the person back to the palace?"
Yu Yao choked instantly, her expression became extremely weird, she looked at the Dog Emperor with shame and annoyance, It looked like an angry little wild cat.
She reached out and pinched his waist hard, and said coquettishly: "Okay, you call them back. After the concubine was out of confinement, she took her children to travel around. I won’t go back to this palace anymore. From now on, I won’t be able to control who the emperor favors and who he favors..."
If she had said this before, she probably wouldn’t have dared to say it.
But as the dog emperor's feelings for her became deeper and deeper, there was nothing he dared not say.
Emperor Jing knew that she was speaking out of anger, so he pretended to be scared and hugged her quickly, coaxing her in a low voice, "Yao'er, don't be angry, don't be angry. I'm just joking with you. How could I call them back? , I only have Yaoer in my heart. I said that we will be together for the rest of our lives. I will never break my promise. I just wanted to see your jealous and worried look, so I couldn't help teasing you."
Yu Yao snorted and looked away. The Dog Emperor is quite good at coaxing women, and he coaxes her to a point of great joy. But what he said was: "The emperor will use sweet words to coax my concubine, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. The emperor has moved those sisters away, and there will inevitably be gossip in the harem. I am afraid that I will end up with a special one in the future." The reputation of being a spoiled woman is being criticized behind her back. "
She is a bitch and has to build a memorial arch. She is the one who wants the tea.
Yu Yao admitted that she was not a good person, and of course she would not harm others.
Emperor Jing gently pulled her face and asked her to look at him, his eyes full of affection, "Yao'er, when did my Yao'er become so worried. I am the emperor, and this harem I will handle the matter myself. I only care about Yao'er's thoughts. As long as Yao'er is happy, I don't care about anything else. I will make them disappear."
Yu Yao listened to Emperor Jing's words. , most of the anger in his heart was gone, and he said: "Then the emperor might as well make another decree. If any of them is willing to return home or remarry, they can be free."
The Dog Emperor will not favor them in the future, just Being left in the royal garden like this, although I have no worries about food and clothing, I can't help feeling lonely.
We are all of the same age, and the days are long. How can we not be lonely if we are left to retire in the royal garden like this?
Especially at night...
Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows, surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his gentle expression.
"Yaoer is really kind. I am lucky to have you."
Emperor Jing hugged her a little tighter and said, "I will do as you please. I will issue an edict tomorrow, If any concubine wants to return home or remarry, I will never stop her and will give her a generous reward. They will have a worry-free life in the future."
Yu Yao smiled with satisfaction, "The emperor is so wise, I feel relieved. This not only shows the emperor's kindness, but also gives those sisters hope. , so as not to be depressed in the royal garden.”
On the second day, Emperor Jing really made his decree.
This decree was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing quite a stir in the harem.
After hearing the news, the concubines who were moved to the royal gardens had their own thoughts.
Some concubines were born into famous families, and their family honor did not allow them to remarry, so they could only continue to live a cold life in the gardens.
But the resentment towards Yu Yao in his heart has also subsided a bit.
After all, this is a humane choice.
Some concubines were already tired of palace life. Now that they had this opportunity, they began to think about how to express their willingness to return home or remarry to the emperor.
In the royal garden, Ning Zhaoyi frowned and said to the people around her: "Concubine Chen's move is really powerful. It not only won her a good reputation, but also put us in a dilemma. If you choose to leave, it will be like admitting that you have failed in your fight for favor. If you stay, you will be really lonely and unbearable."
After hearing this, Concubine Zhen in the palace admired Concubine Chen even more.
She couldn't help but sigh: "Concubine Chen may seem weak, but she is actually extremely intelligent and kind-hearted. In doing so, she not only solved her love rivals and troubles, but also gave those concubines a way out. ”
When Yu Yao was two months old, Shu Guiren gave birth to the second princess successfully.
This was when Shu Guiren activated it. She secretly used a birth pill for Shu Guiren, otherwise Shu Guiren was afraid that he would end up like Concubine Yun.
Although the second princess was not as frail as the eldest prince when she was born, she was still weaker than a normal fetus.
Fortunately, the doctors from the Imperial Hospital are highly skilled in medicine, and with careful care, there will be no major problems.
The second princess gave her the name Rong Lan, which is a very poetic and elegant name.
After Princess Ronglan was born, Shu Guiren was also named Shu Concubine.
She put all her thoughts on her daughter.
Concubine Zhen concentrated on teaching the eldest prince. Perhaps she was lonely in the palace, and they both had children. Gradually, the relationship between the two became better.
I often hold the child and chat together. Either you go to my palace, or I go to your palace.
Under the careful care of Shu Bin and the imperial physician, Princess Rong Lan's health gradually improved. Although she was still weaker than ordinary people, there was no problem.
At this time, Emperor Jing had already taken Yu Yao and the twins out of the palace to play.
Of course, it is a private visit with concealed identity.
The size of their traveling team is small to avoid being too ostentatious.
Emperor Jing only brought a few trusted guards with him. They were all highly skilled in martial arts and silently guarded the surroundings to ensure the safety of the group.
Yu Yao was very happy. After being bored in the palace for a long time, she could finally come out to play.
Rong Qi and Rong Wan were both held by their nanny, and they were full of curiosity about everything outside.
Although Rong Qi is still young, he has begun to show the calmness of a prince, but when he sees new and novel things, he still cannot hide the excitement in his eyes.
Rong Wan was like a cheerful bird, chirping non-stop along the way.
Their first stop was a famous mountain.
The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, lined with green trees and gurgling clear springs.
Emperor Jing held Yu Yao's hand and walked in front. The two children were followed behind by their grandmother, and they slowly walked up the winding mountain road.
When you reach the top of the mountain, the view suddenly opens up.
The rolling hills in the distance look like an ink painting.
Emperor Jing stood on the top of the mountain, facing the breeze, and the fatigue in his heart seemed to be swept away.
He turned to look at Yao'er and the two children, with a happy smile on his face.
"Yao'er, I haven't felt so relaxed and comfortable for a long time."
Emperor Jing sighed in a low voice.
Yu Yao responded with a smile: "Your Majesty, the beauty of this world can really make people forget their worries."
They stayed one night in a temple on the mountain.
On the second day, they continued their journey and came to a quiet water town.
The houses in the town are built in an orderly manner along the river, and boats are swaying on the river.
Yu Yao and the two children sat on the bow of the boat. Emperor Jing personally paddled the oar, and the boat moved forward slowly.
When the people along the way saw them, they just thought they were wealthy people traveling, and did not realize that they were the current emperor.
In the small town, they tasted local specialties, such as sweet and glutinous pastries and delicious fish soup.
Rong Wan eats until her little mouth is surrounded by food residue, and she looks extremely cute.
Rong Qi, on the other hand, was like a little grown-up, imitating Emperor Jing's example of eating elegantly.
After visiting the water town, the group went to many places.
They have seen the magnificent sea, and the boundless blue is awe-inspiring. Rong Qi and Rong Wan ran happily on the beach, chasing the waves, and their laughter floated in the sea breeze.
They also visited the quiet valley, where flowers bloomed.
Yu Yao picked many wild flowers and woven them into a garland and put it on Rong Wan's head, dressing her up like a little flower fairy.
As time goes by, the children grow up.
Rong Qi is smart and wise, and has shown great talent in governing the country.
Emperor Jing was so pleased that when Rong Qi was 15 years old, he threw the throne to him and ran away with Yu Yao.
Imperial Study Room
Rong Qi looked at the pile of memorials in front of him with a look of resentment.
"My father is so annoying. He really wants to go out and play."
Although he was full of resentment, he also knew that he had a heavy responsibility.
He remembered his father's instructions before he left, asking him to be a wise king and govern Daqian Kingdom prosperously.
I can only put away my thoughts about fun and immerse myself in government affairs.
After Yu Yao and Emperor Jing left the palace, they should not go too crazy and wander around the world, going wherever there is fun.
Yu Yao had lived a happy life all her life, and the Dog Emperor used all his romantic energy on her.
Of course, she also lived a happy life under the endless pampering of the Dog Emperor.
Their story has become a legend in the history of Daqian Kingdom, which has been passed down by word of mouth and will be remembered forever.
