Because of the emperor's orders, the news that the concubine of Yonghe Palace was happy with her noble son naturally spread quickly to all palaces, and for a while several families were happy and a few were sad. The happy concubines think that others can give birth, and they can also give birth, no matter their children, they can always rely on them more in the future, as for the sorrowful ...... But it is not a matter of worrying about the future of their children, because most of them have no children.

What they are worried about is that the concubine, who originally had only one daughter, now has another son, and even the emperor has gone there in person, and it is said that she has also entered the delivery room, so won't she really want to dominate the harem in the future, and the others will never have a chance again? Today's imperial concubine is not the queen of the past, 10,000 don't care about things, don't compete for favor!

Except for her, who can suppress Concubine Yu, who has become a concubine?

However, when the emperor was happy, he overlooked one place, that is, the three princes in the Ciqing Palace, and he did not let people send the news. It's not that he deliberately forgot, but he was elated that he only thought of telling the queen mother and the other concubines in the harem, the prince who was studying, and he didn't feel that this news needed to be sent to inform him immediately.

Therefore, not only Ciqing Palace, but even the entire eastern area of the palace where Ciqing Palace is located is all in order. The three old scholars in the cabinet, as well as the rest of the cabinet secretaries and other assistants, plus the chamberlains who served here, all didn't know that there was another prince in the palace.

And the prince and the attendants in the Ciqing Palace, as well as the lecture officials, will study harder and make progress every day.

Because under Zhu Ying's cooperation, although the lecturers and attendants did not jointly write the book, they all sent fierce speeches, and they lamented how diligent Prince Chen was in his daily study. Moreover, the lecturers praised the attendants for their conscientiousness, and the attendants praised the lecturers for their conscientiousness, and they praised each other greatly anyway. There is only one core meaning, the East Palace is a whole!

Even those lecturers from the Hanlin Academy, after learning that Zhu Ying had personally visited Yue Shanchang and others, they were on the books, and they had to pinch their noses and make the same choice, even if they wanted to get rid of Zhang Shou. Because of this, the bachelor from the Hanlin Academy, who came to Ciqing Palace after Zhang Shou to give a lecture today, couldn't wait to keep a close eye on the prince.

However, he skipped class once, and today's three princes were very attentive throughout the whole process, even if the acolyte wanted to teach, he didn't find a chance. When the two classes were over, seeing that it was about to be lunchtime, what he didn't expect was that the third prince politely opened his mouth to stay with him for lunch.

For such an honor, if it is put aside in ordinary times, people will definitely be humble on the surface, but in fact, they are ecstatic and want to refuse to welcome it, but now there are different opinions outside because of the prince's truancy incident, and people have to refuse bitterly. And when he said goodbye and left, he couldn't help but persuade the third prince a few words.

"No matter what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks, but you must know that a pair of eyes are staring at each other outside, even if you are now the actual eldest son, and you have always been famous, you can't help but be corrupted by the villain. You know, it's hard to build a reputation, but it's too easy to ruin. ”

For such a cliché, Lu Sanlang, who has always been deviant, of course, is in the left ear and out of the right ear, but the third prince is such a serious person, and he naturally thanked him respectfully at the moment.

After the old gentleman who felt that he had been valued shook his head and sighed, he turned around and went down the steps in front of Ciqing Palace, only to staggered by a small chamberlain who hurriedly came up. But in the next moment, he suddenly reacted, frowned and turned around and shouted, "Who are you?" How come I have never seen you in this Ciqing Palace? ”

Although the suggestion that the Confucius scholar that Ciqing Palace is not allowed to use literacy and hyphenation is absurd, there was only one Chu Kuan in Ciqing Palace before, and now Chu Kuan is out on business, and there is no inner servant here on weekdays, and several bachelors feel that this situation is very satisfactory. Therefore, he was naturally wary of such a stranger who did not look like he was from the Qianqing Palace.

Don't let this eunuch spoil the prince!

The little chamberlain didn't expect to be suddenly asked such a shout, and he stopped all of a sudden, his face completely full of panic. Seeing this scene, the little fat man rushed over to block in front of the third prince as soon as possible, and asked with a vigilant face: "Which palace are you from, and what are you doing here?" ”

was asked twice in succession, and the little chamberlain was suddenly even more confused. It was a long moment before he stammered, "I...... I'm from Wan'an Palace. ”

As soon as he heard the three words of Wan'an Palace, not to mention that the Hanlin scholar was full of embarrassment, even Lu Xiaofat's face was also unnatural. He quietly retreated to the side of the third prince, and just as he was embarrassed to explain, the third prince had already calmly asked, "Did the concubine send you?" So what's going on? ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not speak in the same stern tone as the two before, and the little chamberlain was in a calmer mood a little later. He stopped seven or eight steps away from the third prince very knowingly, saluted aggrievedly, and then whispered: "The imperial concubine sent a slave maid to tell His Royal Highness the prince, the concubine is happy, and the mother and son are safe." ”

The third prince's eyes widened suddenly. Zhu Ying took Zhang Shou to visit Concubine Yu today, because Concubine Yu would be born in a few days...... It's not because Concubine Yu is going to give birth today! Moreover, how long has it been since the talent has passed, and has it been so fast to have a baby? Also, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying went over there, did they just bump into Concubine Yu to give birth, or was it because Concubine Yu had fetal gas when talking to them?

The third prince, who had no common sense about this kind of thing, was at a loss, and just when he was in a daze that he forgot to react, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The third prince, who suddenly came back to his senses, saw that the handsome Hanlin scholar was looking at him, his face was not so good-looking, he didn't have time to figure out what the other party meant, and hurriedly asked, "So, I have another younger brother?" Well, that's a great thing. ”

Seeing that the chamberlain hurriedly nodded again and again, the third prince said thoughtfully: "Anyway, there is still time at noon, why don't I go to Yonghe Palace and say hello to the concubine?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine has just given birth, and she has to sit on a mattress next, and she can't see the wind, so you might as well go to the Qianqing Palace to say hello to the emperor!" When he said this, the acoly-in-waiting scholar only felt that he had a great responsibility to coincide with his meeting today, and immediately persuaded him earnestly, "The emperor has added another son, and this is the time to rejoice, so you must be happy." ”

I'm very happy, what does it mean to be happy?

Until he saw the old gentleman leave worriedly, the third prince was still a little puzzled. However, he didn't understand, but Lu Saburo behind him understood, and those who had other brothers in the family and even cousins also understood.

Not all brothers will be as harmonious and loving as the third prince and the fourth prince, some brothers are born to compete with you, from the favor of their parents to property resources, they will do everything. Even if the little prince was just born, the third prince didn't think of this aspect at all, I'm afraid he won't understand what a fight is, but who knows in the future?

Even the fourth prince and the third prince have such a deep brotherhood, but who can say clearly that ten or eight years, or even three or five years later?

The three princes, who were a little ignorant and a little troubled, didn't care about eating, so they immediately rushed to the Qianqing Palace according to the meaning of the scholar, and then ...... Completely pounced. The opinion of a certain old gentleman is correct in a general sense, however, the emperor's character is not expected by ordinary people at all, even if it has been confirmed that the mother and son are safe, people are still in Yonghe Palace.

So, not very relieved that the third prince was not at ease, and Lu Xiaofatzi, who came with a few other attendants, was completely helpless. Even if he is now in the palace, he can be regarded as the first member of the Lu family, however, it does not mean that he will be able to enter and exit the harem area.

After thinking about it, he could only say solemnly to the third prince: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go directly to Yonghe Palace, if the teacher is there, it doesn't matter, if the teacher is already out of the palace, you can accompany the emperor to say more festive words." ”

After being instructed by the gentleman and Lu Sanlang who were in class today, the three princes hurried to Yonghe Palace accompanied by a chamberlain in the Qianqing Palace, and their feelings were really complicated.

Now, as smart as he is, he has vaguely noticed that others are saying those words, which is nothing more than to persuade him to be cautious when his father has a son, to curry favor and sell well, and not to fall out of favor as a prince. However, he always felt that such thinking did not seem to be right, at least not in line with the teaching he had always received since childhood.

That younger brother of his is not the eldest prince and the second prince, he shouldn't think so!

With this emotion, the little Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally came to the outside of Yonghe Palace. Although Concubine Yu had just given birth to a child and had to sit on the mattress for a month, it was impossible to see outsiders, but since the emperor was here, the concubines naturally came, and even the biological mother of the third prince, the imperial concubine, also came to show her face. But she didn't like a lot of people, so she sat down a little and retired a long time ago.

Except for when he saluted Qingning Palace after being canonized as the crown prince, the third prince can be said to have rarely seen so many concubines in the same room, so he couldn't help but be a little slow to react when he saluted, and even a little dumbfounded.

The emperor didn't pay attention to this at all, and dragged the third prince up and pulled him to sit down, and he said with a smile: "I seem to have forgotten to send someone to tell you, why did you hear this good news?" ”

The third prince habitually did not delve into the emperor's words, and said without thinking: "It was the mother concubine who sent someone to Ciqing Palace to tell her son. Erchen was afraid that the concubine would sit on the mattress and not see anyone, so he went to the Qianqing Palace to say goodbye, and heard that his father did not come back, so he came here! Father, is the concubine okay? Is Erchen's fifth brother fat or thin, can you take it out and take a look? ”

The emperor, who was happy, was moved by the words of the third prince, and immediately ordered someone to hug the little prince out. Seeing this scene, he came here early, but the emperor didn't see the newborn baby concubines at all on the grounds that the little prince was still asleep, so they had to look at each other, and most of them had a basic judgment.

Although the emperor likes this newborn little prince very much, he still takes the third prince very seriously.

After a short time, the nurse came out with the little prince who was sleeping heavily. And the third prince has never seen a newborn child, when the person is hugged in front of him, he looks at it again and again, only to feel that it is very rare, especially when he sees that the face is a little wrinkled, he doesn't know whether it is playful, or a moment of curiosity, he actually stretched out his finger and poked it on the person's delicate face.

Then it didn't seem to be enjoyable, and poked again...... This kind of action that is definitely not in line with the setting of the prince of steady atmosphere, others were stunned for a moment, but the emperor burst out laughing after being stunned for a moment. Because he remembers it clearly, when he was very young, when he saw the newborn King Lu, he seemed to reach out and poke like this, and then woke people up and made them cry.

Fortunately, the little prince at the moment was obviously sleeping very soundly, so the movements and laughter did not wake him up, and the little guy who had already fed the milk once was still sleeping there. And it wasn't until the third prince withdrew his finger that he realized what he had just done, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed. He coughed embarrassedly, and then whispered: "Father, the first time the son has seen the newborn ......"

Without waiting for the third prince to finish explaining, the emperor waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's just a moment of curiosity, what is this, I was just like you back then!" ”

I never felt that the three princes were like himself before, but this time the three princes suddenly slipped out of the palace, and just poked and poked in the face of the newborn brother childishly, just like an ordinary naughty boy, the emperor thought that the three princes were as good as the four princes on weekdays, and he felt for the first time in his life that this child who used to feel shy and shy was still very similar to him in his bones!

So, after interrupting the third prince, he asked seriously: "Gorou has just been born, and the daimyo I haven't had time to think about it, do you have any ideas?" ”

I didn't think about it, this is naturally a pretext, in fact, the emperor has broken several dictionaries, whether male or female, there are no less than ten or twenty names, but after pondering it repeatedly, he feels that it is not very good. At this moment, he simply threw this question out, and as a result, he saw that the concubines in front of him all looked at each other, and when he looked at the third prince again, his irritability disappeared immediately.

Because the third prince really frowned and thought about it, and looking at that expression, he was thinking hard and racking his brains...... So, in order to provide reference, he said all the words that he thought of that were suitable for his son, and only then sighed at the end.

"At the beginning, your character was fire refining real gold, so it was famous; And Shiro's character is because when he was born, it coincided with the bell of the bell tower, so he was famous. Now Goro's name, although I have thought about it so much in advance, I always feel that it is not appropriate enough. ”

When the emperor said this, the third prince suddenly hesitated, and then whispered: "Father, how is the word Duo?" The noble concubine Niangniang likes martial arts, and the word Duo means the bell that declares the decree of politics and religion, but it is also the bell of war......"

This time, before he could finish his words, he saw that the emperor slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, it's Duo!" Zheng Duo, that's a good name! ”
