Giving birth to a child is a very physically demanding thing, and after using all her strength to finally give birth to the child, Zhang Yan fell asleep before she had time to look at her child, but before she fell asleep, she faintly heard Wen Po say, "Congratulations to Niangniang...... You've given birth to a prince! ”

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Yan, who only felt that she had a nightmare, finally woke up, she opened her eyes in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Zhu Youjiao sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her affectionately, and after seeing her wake up, Zhu Youxiao held her hand and whispered: "Zitong, you have worked hard, you are for me...... I have made great contributions to this Ming Dynasty, and I finally don't have to worry about being shameless to see my ancestors and ancestors after I die. ”

Zhang Yan smiled when she heard this, at this moment, she seemed to have completed the most sacred and important event, and the burden that was originally pressing on her heart was finally lifted. Although her face was still very pale, and the hair on her forehead was clinging to her with sweat, she was so beautiful in Zhu Youxiao's eyes at this moment.

Zhang Yan pleaded, "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to see the child, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Of course you can, this is your child, now Wen Po is helping him take a bath, I asked them to report it immediately." Come on, bring the child! ”

"Here we are...... Here it ......."

As Zhu Youxiao's words fell, a stable woman walked over quickly with a swaddling baby in her arms, and brought the swaddling clothes in her arms to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan struggled to raise her head and look at the baby in swaddling clothes, the newborn baby was naturally wrinkled, but it was so beautiful in the eyes of her mother. Zhang Yan looked at the baby in front of her stupidly, carefully hugged it into her arms, and said to Zhu Youxiao with a smile: "Your Majesty, take a look, this is our child." ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes with a joy on his face that he couldn't hide: "Yes, I have seen it, he is a handsome little guy, very similar to me." ”

Looking at Zhu Youxiao, who was in a good mood, Zhang Yan thought for a while and said to him: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to ask you something." ”

Zhu Youxiao said without thinking, "Zitong, you and I are husband and wife, why don't you ask for it, you just have to say it, as long as I can definitely promise you." ”

"Then the concubine said." Zhang Yan plucked up the courage and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to milk her own child." ”

"What...... Nursing your own child? Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Yan in surprise, "Zitong, why?" ”

In these years, anyone who has a bit of status, the housewife will hire a nurse to feed the child after giving birth to the child, if it is her own milk, it will be shameful to spread it, not to mention the queen who is the mother of a country. If Zhang Yan's words are spread, it will inevitably cause an uproar.

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment before saying: "Last time, when Jiang Ninghou's wife Hai Lanzhu entered the palace to chat with the concubine, she told the concubine that after giving birth to a child, it would be better for the child's body if the mother was to milk the child by herself, and the child would be closer to the mother when she grew up, so the concubine wanted to milk the child herself." ”

"Oh...... And what's going on? Zhu Youxiao was surprised, but he was a little embarrassed and said: "It's just that the palace has its own rules, and after giving birth to a child, you must invite a nurse as usual, otherwise you may be criticized if you spread it." ”

"Criticism? Whoever dares to criticize, let him tell the concubine. Zhang Yan said a little unhappily, "Other people's children and concubines can't take care of them, but can't the concubines want their own children." Besides, the children of ordinary people are all breastfed by the mothers themselves, and I haven't seen anyone laughing at anyone, so why can't they go to the concubines? ”

"Okay!" Looking at Zhang Yan, who had an extremely firm attitude and looked like I would fight with whoever dared not let me milk the child, Zhu Youxiao shook his head helplessly, and could only agree: "In this case, Zitong, you can breastfeed the child yourself." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Zhu Youxiao agreed to his request, Zhang Yan smiled again, and kissed the face of the baby in her arms, as if she couldn't kiss enough. It's just that after a while, Zhang Yan suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Your Majesty, when the concubine gave birth to the emperor, she faintly heard a burst of singing from outside the palace, quite the style of the ancients Yan Zhao, I don't know who is singing?" ”

Zhu Youxiao explained: "Just now, Zitong, didn't you ask the family of Jiang Ninghou to come to Kunning Palace to guard it? That song is sung by the family of the Marquis of Jiangning, it is said to be the military song of the Qin Dynasty, from the "Book of Songs, Qin Feng, No Clothes", I heard that this is also the military song of the Jiangning army. ”

Zhang Yan nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case, the concubines are almost unable to hold on, but for some reason, after hearing those songs, the concubines suddenly had the strength again, and they gave birth to the emperor unconsciously. ”

"That's nature!" Zhu Youxiao nodded again and again, "Zitong, you don't know, when our emperor was born, the sun in the sky was suddenly obscured by a thick dark cloud, originally I thought that this was the heavens warning me, but when those family members sang the military song, the dark cloud was suddenly blown away by the wind......

Zhu Youxiao told Zhang Yan about today's vision, and Zhang Yan had a look of surprise in her eyes as she listened. After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Zhang Yan yawned, her face showed tiredness, and Zhu Youxiao said considerately: "Zitong, you have a good rest first, and I will come to accompany you after you have rested." ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao covered the quilt for her again before leaving the delivery room.

After Zhu Youxiao came out of the delivery room, Zhang Yan's personal palace woman Qing walked in with a basin of hot water, only to see her take out a towel from the basin and wring it out, carefully wipe Zhang Yan's face, and then wipe her hands and feet.

Zhang Yan was just silent, and only asked after a while: "Ziqing, has that person been here today?" ”

Ziqing nodded, looked around for a moment before whispering: "Qi Yu Niangniang, that person not only came, but also brought a few stable women over, saying that he was coming to help, and the few eunuchs who were originally guarding the door did not dare to stop him." Seeing that they were about to let them break in, fortunately, Jiang Ninghou's family members arrived in time to stop that person, and the slave maid heard that the original person still wanted to play tricks, but Jiang Ninghou's family members put the tip of the knife on her throat without saying a word, and that person was so frightened that he ran away, which was simply very happy! ”

Although Zhang Yan was still lying down, the phoenix eyes that were originally closed had opened at some point, and while listening to Ziqing's words, her eyes kept flashing with a mixture of happiness, anger and fear, and it took a long time for her to close her eyes again, "This palace knows, you go down first." ”

"Whoa!"

After Ziqing cleaned up, she walked out with a basin and closed the door.

When the door was closed, an inaudible voice sounded in the delivery room: "Hakka, originally the palace thought that you had begun to converge today, but I didn't expect that you wanted to harm the palace and still not die, wait, one day the palace will let you know how to write the word regret!" But before that, the palace would have to thank Jiang Ninghou's wife, if it weren't for her reminder, the palace didn't expect the Hakka family to be so frustrated, it seems that Jiang Ninghou's family is indeed the lucky star of the palace and His Majesty! ”

The news of Zhang Yan's birth of the prince soon spread throughout the palace, and the happy Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered to give all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace a silver tael, and added a meal for five days to celebrate, when the news reached the ears of the people and officials who were waiting outside the noon gate, there were bursts of cheers outside the noon gate, and then the cheers began to spread to the whole capital.

The people of the capital are really happy for Zhu Youzhen, with the popularization of potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other high-yield grains in Daming, the people of the capital really feel the benefits, at least the price of grain has stopped rising year by year, most of the people can fill their stomachs, and the people of the capital alone should thank Zhu Youxiao.

The common people of China are actually the most simple people in the world, no matter who is the emperor, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they think you are a holy monarch, and you will never have to worry about your rule, but on the contrary, once you push them to a dead end, the energy they burst out is also very terrifying, which is estimated to be the deepest experience of Emperor Chongzhen in another historical time and space. The Ming Dynasty was in his hands, and he was overturned to the ground by a group of mud legs, and even Chongzhen himself could only hang himself helplessly on the coal mountain.

In Wenyuan Pavilion, after knowing that Zhu Youxiao had added a prince, Gu Bingqian and the others showed a complicated look on their faces that they didn't know whether they were happy or regretful.

After a long time, Gu Bingqian said to several pavilion elders in Wenyuan Pavilion: "Your Majesty has added a prince, this is a happy event for our Ming Dynasty after all, we can jointly congratulate Your Majesty later, I don't know if you are willing." ”

Everyone said: "Since it should be like this, we will join forces to congratulate Your Majesty!" ”

In the Jiangning Marquis Mansion, the three daughters of Hai Lanzhu, Zhezhe and Da Yuer were also very happy after learning the news that the queen mother gave birth to a son. Of course, they knew that their men had such a close relationship with the current emperor, and they had reached the point where they were both prosperous and lossy.

Originally, they were worried that Zhu Youxiao would have no children so far, once Zhu Youxiao was no longer there in the future, then the status of the Jiangning Hou Mansion would become very delicate, but now that Zhu Youxiao has a son, with the relationship between his own man and Zhu Youxiao, it also means that the position of the Jiangning Hou Mansion will become very solid in the next hundred years, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Hai Lanzhu immediately called a family member: "Send someone to send a letter to Xianggong immediately, inform Xianggong of the news, and make him happy!" ”
