Chapter 1248: It's Hard to Give Birth to a Son
As soon as Jiajing and Xu Jin returned to the western suburbs of the capital, they received good news from the palace that Concubine De gave birth ahead of schedule and gave birth to a little princess. Xu Jin, Xia Yan and Zhai Luan and other close ministers congratulated Jiajing one after another, but the latter's mood did not seem to be very high, and there was a bit of a forced smile, and after rewarding a group of ministers (equivalent to happy candy), they hurried into the city and rushed to the palace to visit Concubine De's mother and daughter.
As soon as Jiajing left, the accompanying ministers of civil and military affairs also dispersed, and Xu Jin also took Xue Bingxin and He Zhi'er back to the Xu Mansion in Xiaofang.
He Zhi'er's riding skills are not good, and she took a carriage on the way back to the capital from Datong, while Xue Bingxin was too depressed to ride a carriage and insisted on riding a horse, although Xu Jin was worried about the fetus in her womb, which was only four months old, but she couldn't help it, so she had to accompany her on horseback.
At this moment, Xu Jin and Xue Bingxin walked side by side, unhurriedly along Xuanwumen Avenue towards Xiaofang, and He Zhi'er's carriage slowly followed.
At this time, Xue Bingxin suddenly asked in a low voice: "Husband, is the emperor patriarchal?" ”
Xu Jin was slightly stunned and said, "Why did Xin'er ask such a question? ”
Xue Bingxin's pale blue eyes glanced at Xu Jin and said, "When the emperor heard that Concubine De gave birth to a little princess, he was obviously not very happy, I don't believe that you can't see it." ”
"Uh...... No, I think the emperor is very happy, didn't he immediately rush into the palace to visit Concubine De? Xu Jin pretended to be stupid and said.
Xue Bingxin snorted coldly: "Women all give birth to children with their lives, if a man ignores it, then it is really a wolf's heart, even if he is the emperor, I will only look down on him." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, Xin'er was still so clear in love and hate, and said in a low voice: "Xin'er said carefully, the emperor has always been affectionate and righteous, but he is not that kind of person, but he has been married for more than six years and has not come out, and it is estimated that he wants a son too much." ”
"It's not up to a woman to decide whether to give birth to a boy or a girl, and it's not a woman's fault if you can't give birth to a son?" Xue Bingxin said with a cold face.
Xu Jin said with a smile: "Of course you can't blame women, your husband and I never mind having a boy or a girl, even if Xin'er gives birth to a daughter, even if she gives birth to ten or eight, her husband will be very happy." ”
Xue Bingxin suddenly flew on her cheeks and said lightly: "you, you want to think about what do you think of others!" ”
Xu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally succeeded in diverting the topic, once women are more serious in fighting for women's rights and interests, their combat effectiveness will be quite scary, such as the "women's rights" who are active on the Internet in later generations, and they will criticize and write at every turn, making people retreat.
But then again, although Xu Jin is a modern traverser with "advanced thoughts", he can understand Jiajing's mood very well at this time.
As the so-called unfilial piety has three, no queen is great, the ancients originally attached great importance to the inheritance of incense, not to mention the monarch of a country under the feudal hereditary system? And Jiajing has been married for six years, and there are still no heirs under his knees, coupled with the experience of his cousin Zhu Houzhao, he is not in a hurry, so it is normal for him to be a little disappointed after learning that Concubine De gave birth to a little princess, but he still immediately entered the palace to visit Concubine De's mother and daughter, it can be seen that he is not a cold person, the fact is just the opposite, Jiajing is very emotional, for Xu Jin, for Lu Bing, and for Zhang Xuan.
In fact, in terms of heirs, Xu Jin is still very sympathetic to Jiajing, because according to historical records, Jiajing ascended the throne at the age of fourteen and did not have his first son until he was twenty-six years old, but unfortunately died in less than two months.
It is now the sixth year of Jiajing, and if history has not changed, then he will have to wait another five or six years before he has his first son, and this son will die after only two months of life, and what is even more tragic is that Jiajing's second son lived to be fourteen years old, and died shortly after being made the crown prince.
It is said that when Jiajing's first son died, a Taoist priest who usually favored him told him that the Son of Heaven was a true dragon and the prince was a hidden dragon.
Jiajing listened to the words of the Taoist priest, so after the birth of the second son, he insisted on not seeing until the second son went out of the pavilion to study at the age of fourteen, and under the persecution of the queen mother, Jiajing participated in the second son's study ceremony out of the pavilion, and also canonized the second son as the prince.
Since then, Jiajing has been more convinced of the saying that "the two dragons do not meet", and later Jiajing got two sons, one is Yuwang Zhu Zaiyuan, and the other is Jingwang Zhu Zaizhen, but in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy, Jiajing did not see these two sons until his death, nor did he set up the prince, only gave these two sons the title of prince, which also left a lot of room for operation for the then cabinet chief assistant Xu Jie.
Later, Xu Jie, in the name of Jiajing's edict, put Yuwang Zhu Zaiyuan on the throne, which is a bit strange, this King Yu has never been the prince for a day until he ascended the throne, and he has never seen his father Jiajing.
Therefore, if history has not changed, Jiajing is very sad in terms of birth and raising, only after more than ten years of marriage to have a son, but died in less than two months, the second son raised to the age of 14 and died, after the birth of a son did not dare to meet, obviously close at hand, but can not see or hug, until death can not see the face, it can really be said that life "parting" from death, not ordinary cruelty.
Until today, Xu Jin, a traverser, has undoubtedly made earth-shaking changes in the historical trajectory of the Ming Dynasty, and forcibly revitalized a huge empire that was going downhill, but it is still unknown how much Jiajing's personal fate has changed, and it is still unknown whether it will follow the trajectory of the original history.
Regarding the birth and raising of a son, even Xu Jin can't help it, he can only say that this is fate, and it is beyond the reach of manpower!
About half an hour later, Xu Jin and his entourage finally entered the hour square, and Xu Shou, who had been waiting at the gate of the square for a long time, immediately ran in the direction of Xu's mansion, shouting as he ran: "The master and the fourth lady have returned to the house!" The lord and the fourth lady have returned home! ”
At this moment, the front yard of Xu's mansion was already crowded with people, and the three daughters Xie Xiaowan, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang were waiting with a group of servants and servants.
Outside the gate of the mansion, the housekeeper Dabao was leading more than a dozen young and strong family members to wait for him, and suddenly a sharp-eyed family member said loudly: "It's coming, it's coming!" ”
Dabao looked at the goods, and immediately recognized Zhao Datou, the captain of the pro-soldiers who opened the way in front, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Master go back to the house, light the cannon!" ”
Under an order, the family in charge of lighting the fire immediately lit the firecrackers in front of the house that were coiled like a prehistoric python.
