Chapter 727 Princess (1)
The newly born baby girl has fine downy hair on her face, which is bright red, her eyes are closed, and she is crying at the top of her lungs.
He is not small, and he cries loudly, which shows that he is very strong.
Jiang Shaohua looked at his newborn daughter, and a feeling of motherly love quietly emerged.
"She must be hungry." Sun Zelan said with a smile: "I will carry her out and let the wet nurse feed her."
"By the way, Uncle Chang Ning has been walking back and forth outside the delivery room for two hours. Can we let him in?"
Jiang Shaohua was exhausted and sleepy, so he hummed casually.
Cui Du rushed into the delivery room like flying. He did not go to see the child. He rushed to the bed first and grabbed Jiang Shaohua's hand: "Shaohua!"
Jiang Shaohua pulled away a trace of weakness. Smile: "It's a daughter."
Cui Du's eyes turned red and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we have a daughter."
Before he finished speaking, tears fell down.
In the past two months, Cui Du has been anxious, even more anxious than Jiang Shaohua, a pregnant woman. Jiang Shaohua was working hard in the delivery room, while Cui Du was pacing back and forth outside the delivery room, and the floor was almost trampled by him.
It’s like a tight bowstring that suddenly relaxes. What you feel is not joy, but extreme exhaustion.
Jiang Shaohua was funny and helpless: "I was the one who gave birth to the child. I didn't even cry. Why did you cry?"
Sun Zelan couldn't help but interrupt: "Uncle Chang Ning, The emperor is very tired now and has to sleep to replenish his strength. "
Cui Du quickly wiped his eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm just too excited. Shaohua, go to sleep! I'll guard you."
Jiang Shaohua was indeed too tired. He closed his eyes and felt very tired. Fall into a deep sleep.
Cui Du carefully wiped her sweat.
After the baby was fed by the wet nurse, Cui Du let go of Jiang Shaohua's hand and picked up his newborn daughter.
After the baby girl had eaten and drank enough, she stopped crying and kept her small black eyes open.
The more Cui Du looked at it, the more he fell in love with it. He leaned over and kissed his daughter's forehead and little face. Then, she happily carried her daughter out of the delivery room.
At this time, the morning light is dim.
It took about three hours from the time Jiang Shaohua suffered from abdominal pain to the time the child was born. Judging from a woman's first childbirth, it was incredibly smooth.
Queen Mother Li, who was waiting outside the delivery room, first hugged the baby, looked at it carefully, and praised with a smile: "This baby has delicate features and is born really well."
Queen Mother Li felt in her heart Actually a little disappointed. It would be best for Jiang Shaohua to give birth to a prince in her first child, so naturally it would be good to give birth to a princess. However, it is a bit regretful.
Chen Changshi was extremely happy and respectfully asked Empress Dowager Li: "Empress Dowager, is it time to arrange for people to go to various palaces to announce the good news?"
Empress Dowager Li nodded slightly and gave the order.
As for the ministers waiting in the side hall, Chen Changshi simply went to announce the good news in person.
When Wang Jin heard that Her Majesty the Empress had survived the pain of childbirth safely, she breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Daliang has a princess. This is a great joy."
Before Those ministers who were muttering indiscriminately had to mutter a few words in their hearts.
Is giving birth to a princess considered a great joy? However, the emperor is a woman, and she is shrewd, ruthless and powerful. Maybe, when the princess grows up, she will be another Jiang Shaohua.
Thinking of this, the ministers put away all their murmurs and congratulated each other sincerely.
......
When the good news reached Jingyang Palace, Empress Dowager Zheng, who had been lying in bed to recuperate, became energetic: "The emperor gave birth to a princess?"
"Yes," Eunuch Zhao responded with a smile: "There has been no such happy event in the palace for a long time."
The last time a baby was born in the palace was the birth of Prince Ping eight or nine years ago. Next, funerals were held one after another in the palace. Three emperors died in eight years, which is indeed very unlucky.
The birth of a child is always a happy event.
Empress Dowager Zheng frowned and told Eunuch Zhao: "Go to the Zhaohe Palace and see how the princess is doing on behalf of the Ai family."
Eunuch Zhao happily accepted the order. . After half an hour, he came back and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has beautiful eyebrows and particularly bright eyes. She is very similar to the Emperor."
A newborn baby's facial features have not developed at all, so you can tell who he looks like. When Eunuch Zhao said this, he was just saying good things.
Empress Dowager Zheng knew it well and glanced at Eunuch Zhao with a smile: "You are now better at talking and running errands. No wonder Mr. Shaohua looks at you so highly."
Eunuch Zhao said with a smile. : "The servants are of low status, and they are all taking advantage of the Empress Dowager. The Emperor is targeting the Empress Dowager." Your Majesty, please be more polite to your slaves."
Empress Dowager Zheng loves to hear such flattery, and she looks much better: "It is indeed a great joy to have a princess in the palace. , all the servants in the palace are given a wedding gift. "
This is also the custom in the palace. When a princess is born, a wedding gift will be given to her. If it is a prince, it will be double happiness money.
Eunuch Zhao coughed and whispered: "Please forgive me for talking too much. Your Majesty is a woman, and you must be very fond of the princess. Why don't you follow the example of the prince and send a wedding gift, which will also show the empress dowager's love for the younger generation." A loving heart.”
Empress Dowager Zheng thought about it and agreed.
Distributing wedding money is an errand of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Eunuch Zhao went to the House of Internal Affairs to deliver the oral instructions of the Empress Dowager. Eunuch Min, the chief chamberlain in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, smiled and said: "We will do it right now."
Then he whispered a few words: "Work That Yang doctor in the department, After the third year of junior high school, I came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for money. My wife nodded, why don’t we give her money?” I can only approve the note. However, the miser, Eunuch Min, was not happy at all in transferring the money, and it was delayed from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Eunuch Zhao smiled and glanced over: "Mr. Yang has just taken office. He wants to run his errands well, and his temper can't help but be a little anxious. Eunuch Min raises his hand and that's it. Why bother!"
Eunuch Min He is also a confidant of the Empress Dowager, otherwise, he would not be able to achieve the position of head of the House of Internal Affairs.
However, in front of Eunuch Zhao, Eunuch Min did not dare to take advantage of it. After hearing this, he immediately smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Eunuch Zhao has already opened his mouth to intercede. Our family has to give Eunuch Zhao a face. We will allocate the money tomorrow. Give it to him. "
......
The good news that the emperor had given birth to a princess soon spread out of the palace and reached the ears of Prime Minister Wang.
Prime Minister Wang felt a little disappointed.
It actually doesn’t matter if the emperor is born male or female. At such a young age, if you want to have a baby in the future, you will always be able to give birth to a prince.
Prime Minister Wang regrets that the emperor’s delivery went too smoothly. If there is a difficult childbirth or something, the palace will bulldoze the king and become the next emperor. By then, the Wang family will be able to take advantage of the situation and become powerful officials again.
Such regrets cannot be expressed in words. Even to his close confidants, he couldn't say it.
Prime Minister Wang ordered: "The birth of the princess is a great joy for the country. If you pass on this Prime Minister's words, all the servants in the mansion will receive double wedding money today."
