Chapter 274: Happy to Get a Daughter
Shulan, Rulan, and Yu Yanran were already favored, and they became a small group.
If Zhang Guifen targets Shulan, he will naturally also target Ru Lan and Yu Yanran.
Although Shulan and others are also favored, there is still a gap compared with Zhang Guifen.
Zhang Guifen is also the princess, so Shulan and the others are no match for her.
If Shulan and the others are left out, her chance will come.
No one knows what Li Liangdi thinks.
“It’s born!”
“Quick, bring the scissors.”
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from inside the house, and Zhang Guifen outside the door showed a smile. Said: "Go and inform His Highness!"
"Yes!" A palace maid responded and trotted out.
…………
“Give a baby? Is it a boy or a girl? Is Concubine Sheng Zheng safe?”
Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the report from the palace maid. He asked with a happy face.
"Your Highness, I am fine with you. As for whether you are the king or the princess, I don't know." The palace maid replied.
According to the etiquette system, the heirs of the prince are granted the title of prince or princess. Only after he ascends the throne in the future can the heirs be granted the title of prince or princess.
After hearing this, Zhao Xing walked directly out, ready to go and have a look.
"Your Highness!" The palace maid who reported the news said quickly: "The Crown Princess asked the slave to come over and report the news, just to reassure His Highness. The Crown Princess said, please don't rush over there, and she will send her after everything is done over there. Someone came to inform His Highness."
Hearing this, Zhao Xing calmed down and said, "I know, you can go."
The palace maid bowed and left.
"Huh~"
Zhao Xing took a deep breath, as long as he was born safely, it didn't matter whether he was male or female.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xing was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Sanshui, did you hear that? I am now a father alone!"
It was really not friendly to say this to a eunuch.
However, Sanshui didn't think about this at all. He was also happy for Zhao Xing and smiled: "Congratulations, Your Highness!"
"Haha, reward!" Zhao Xing said happily: "Today there are rewards in the East Palace, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
There are many people in the East Palace, and there are more than 400 female eunuchs in the Palace alone.
After all, he now has many concubines. Depending on the rank, the number of people serving in the courtyard ranges from a dozen to dozens.
There are more than 200 maids and eunuchs serving in the concubine courtyard alone.
In addition, there are 5,000 people from the East Palace Forbidden Army. If you reward them like this, you will get 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver.
But Zhao Xing was happy and didn't care about this.
“Yes!” Sanshui responded.
Not long after waiting, Zhang Guifen sent someone to report again that Shulan had given birth to a daughter.
Zhao Xing's joy did not diminish when he heard this. After waiting for a while, Zhang Guifen sent someone to inform him that he could pass, so Zhao Xing hurried to Shulan Pavilion.
Because the weather is cold now, Zhao Xing cannot go directly into the inner room because of the coldness on his body. He has to warm up outside for a while to get rid of the coldness.
"Yeah." Rulan exclaimed: "Why is it so ugly?"
"Didn't Mother Cui and the others say that children are like this when they are born, and they will get better after a while. Fifth sister, please keep your voice down. , don't wake her up," Minglan reminded.
While Zhao Xing was waiting outside, he heard Rulan's exclamation in the room, and a black line.
Ru Lan dared to call his daughter ugly, and he had to deal with her later!
He didn't hear Minglan's reminder because the voice was low.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Zhao Xing entered the inner room.
After entering the room, Zhao Xing smelled a strange smell that had not dissipated.
Among the concubines in his harem, except Li Yunchu, he was actually missing.
Mrs. He was taking Shulan’s pulse while Zhang Guifen stood aside.
Li Liangdi and the others stood aside, Ru Lan held the child in her arms, and Minglan and Yu Yanran stood around and teased her.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Seeing Zhao Xing come in, everyone quickly saluted.
"No gifts!"
Zhao Xing came to the bed, glanced at the pale Shulan, looked at Mrs. He and asked: "Is the lonely concubine okay?"
"Back to Your Highness, Concubine Sheng Zheng has just given birth to a child and has lost some of her energy. She just needs some time to recover and will be fine." Mrs. He said.
"Then please take care of Mrs. He and help her take good care of herself." Zhao Xing said.
"This is what I should do." Mrs. He said.
Zhao Xing squatted down by the bed, reached out and touched Shulan's face, and said with a smile: "You have done a great service by giving birth to a daughter for me. Please take care of yourself and take good care of yourself."
"Yeah!" Shulan smiled and nodded.
When she learned that she had given birth to a daughter, she was still a little concerned about gains and losses. Seeing that Zhao Xing didn't care at all, she finally let go of her worries.
Zhao Xing and Shulan said a few words before standing up.
"Quick, give Gu's daughter a hug." Zhao Xing said.
"Your Highness, look how much this child's eyebrows look like His Highness." Ru Lan smiled and hugged the child over.
Actually, she couldn't see where she was thinking from, but that's what Yu Yanran just said.
"I just heard you say that my daughter is ugly."
Zhao Xing glared at Ru Lan and reached out to carefully take the child.
After taking a look, the corner of his mouth twitched.
So ugly!
After two lifetimes, this was the first time for him to see a newborn baby.
The little face is wrinkled and looks really ugly.
However, Zhao Xing doesn't dislike it, and it will be fine if it opens up in a few days. "Your Highness, it's time to send someone to the palace to announce the good news." Zhang Guifen reminded.
"Yes, yes, Sanshui!"
Zhao Xing then remembered that he was just being happy and hadn't sent anyone to the palace to announce the good news.
“Wow…”
As a result, because his voice was too loud, he directly woke up the daughter in his arms.
The little guy burst into tears.
"Keep your voice down, Your Highness." Zhang Guifen rolled her eyes at Zhao Xing angrily and stepped forward to take the child.
Zhang Guifen was very skillful in holding her baby. She patted her baby a few times and was able to coax her.
Before she got married, she helped her sister-in-law coax the children at home, so she naturally understands this.
Zhao Xing touched his nose awkwardly and walked out.
When he came to the outer room, he ordered people to go to the palace to announce the good news.
In fact, what Zhao Xing didn't know was that when Shulan was about to give birth, someone had already gone to the palace to report the news.
When the officials heard the news, they all ordered people to prepare for leaving the palace.
Whether he is a direct descendant or a concubine, he is his first grandchild, and the official family still attaches great importance to it.
Shulan gave birth to a child quite smoothly, and before the official family left the palace, the news that Shulan gave birth to a daughter was sent to the palace.
When the officials learned that she was a granddaughter, they immediately gave up the idea of leaving the palace.
When the people Zhao Xing sent to the palace to announce the good news arrived, the officials only gave some symbolic rewards.
When they first learned that Shulan was pregnant, even though Shulan had been married once, the officials made an exception and named her the crown prince's concubine.
If Shulan gives birth to the emperor's eldest grandson this time, it is very likely that she will be promoted to another rank and become a good lady.
Unfortunately, I only gave birth to a daughter.
Zhao Xing didn’t know the official’s reaction, but he was very attached to his precious daughter.
Not only did he give the East Palace a reward, but he also went there every morning and afternoon to have a look and hold and tease her for a while.
But his daughter was very disrespectful to him. She would either sleep or cry when she hugged him, and even peed all over him.
Going to a hot spring villa for a few days was canceled due to the birth of my daughter.
Just like this, a few days passed, and the Lantern Festival passed in a blink of an eye.
After the Shangyuan Festival, various government offices in the imperial court officially opened for business, ending the long holiday.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the first morning of the new year, Zhao Xing got up early and took a carriage to the palace.
In the morning of that day, Hu Zhongyan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was impeached by many people.
More than twenty officials were impeached.
These people are not public officials and have no authority to make decisions based on rumors.
So the reason for their impeachment was that Hu Zhongyan's brother was obstructing the land.
As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father.
Hu Zhongyan's father passed away more than ten years ago. As the elder brother and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he failed to fulfill his responsibilities of education and had an unshirkable responsibility.
This excuse was also valid in ancient times and is not groundless.
Ancient laws never emphasized that one person should do something and another person should do it.
If an official of the same clan makes a mistake, the rest of the officials will be implicated.
Just like in the original drama, Sheng Changfeng and several young masters talked nonsense while drinking in Fanlou. The officials did not find them, but went directly to their father to question them.
It is precisely because of this that ancient times valued the relationship between clan, teachers and students, and in-laws so much.
Because we all benefit from each other and suffer from losses, we naturally have to help each other.
Hu Zhongyan is a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and holds a high position of power. Naturally, this kind of impeachment cannot shake him.
Even without him opening his mouth, many officials came out to defend him, and the court became a quarrel.
In the end, it was the officials who spoke up to stop the quarrel.
After the morning court, the officials called Zhao Xing to Longtuge and sent the palace maids and eunuchs away. He said angrily: "I thought you had some support by contacting some officials, so I didn't stop him. After working on it for a long time, you just made this little noise?”
Of course the officials knew about Zhao Xing’s banquet and asking those people to impeach Hu Zhongyan.
Officials were also very dissatisfied with Hu Zhongyan.
Jiangning Mansion is Jinling.
Before this, it was the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty and was very prosperous.
Although it is not the most economically prosperous place in Jiangnan, its status is very special.
It was his order to measure the land area. Hu Zhongyan's younger brother served as the governor of Jiangning Mansion, but this caused trouble for Hai Wenyou.
After being captured by Hai Wenyou, Hu Zhongyan conspired with many officials to impeach Hai Wenyou. How could the officials not be angry?
Therefore, he acquiesced to what Zhao Xing did.
I wanted to let Zhao Xing toss him around, but in the end, Zhao Xing thundered loudly but rained lightly. Based on this alone, he couldn't do anything to Hu Zhongyan.
The emperor does not do whatever he wants. The Minister of Civil Affairs has a high position and cannot do anything without justifiable reasons.
"Father, Hu Zhongyan is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he is very cautious. There is no way for my son to get anything against him." Zhao Xing said helplessly.
Since Yu Xianggong and Hai Wenyou took charge of the land inventory, officials from various places have caused a lot of trouble for them.
But what those officials did was relatively subtle. Only Hu Zhongyan's younger brother was very arrogant, if not openly uncooperative.
Hai Wenyou's poor progress in Jiangnan has a lot to do with this person.
Hai Wenyou had no choice but to temporarily dismiss him for not cooperating.
After Hu Zhongyan learned that his younger brother had been dismissed, under his instruction, many officials impeached Hai Wenyou for abusing his power.
The governor of a government is a high-ranking official in the border area. Even if Hai Wenyou has the authority granted by the official, he cannot dismiss a high-ranking official in the border area without asking for instructions.
