Chapter 20 The Horse Stepped on the Young
A small pink-carved doll was carried in front of the Queen Mother, and the child's face was flushed with the characteristic of a newborn baby.
The Empress Dowager stretched out her withered palm and stroked her great-grandson. In the confused eyes, two lines of cloudy tears were left. At such an age, it is a good time to dance grandchildren. With this milk doll, I am afraid that I can live for several years.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother!" Aunt Ying saw the Empress Dowager smiling and stroking the child for a long time. Hurriedly spoke out and called beside him.
"Well, what's wrong with Wei Meiren?" The Empress Dowager finally symbolically cared about Wei Ya, although she didn't care about Wei Ya's life or death at all. But this superficial article still needs to be done.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, Wei Meiren has fallen asleep after giving birth, and Xiaoqing next to the Empress Dowager is waiting by her side." Aunt Ying saw that the Empress Dowager came back to her senses, so she was relieved.
"Oh, mother and child are safe. Her reward is set by the emperor, and the old body doesn't have much of this mouth. She gave birth to a prince for the emperor, and she contributed to my great Han country. Sue the emperor, it doesn't hurt to reward him thicker. If someone interjects, let him come straight to the old body. ”
Gillian glanced at her mother reluctantly, and Princess Guantao shook her head slightly. Seeing that her mother was also in a rut, Gillian had to lower her head and grit her teeth with a "gurgling" sound.
As soon as Liu Che announced the reward for Wei Qing, a Yulin lieutenant hurriedly arrived. Walking in front of Liu Che, he bowed and said: "The last general will be congratulated by His Majesty, and the beauty of the Yilan Palace will give birth to a prince for His Majesty." Now that the mother and son are safe, the Empress Dowager asked Her Majesty to hurry over. ”
Raw. And it was born in time for the triumph of this great army. Liu Che was so happy that he almost jumped up and pulled Wei Qing. Turning to Qiandu, he said, "The prime minister and the captain are here to greet General Gongsun, and I and General Wei will go back to the palace first." ”
did not sit on the royal horse, the two led two horses to beat the horse and whip and rushed to Chang'an City. Qiandu hurriedly followed Yulin all the way, and a team of people and horses rushed into Chang'an City like arrows.
In front of him was the palace gate of Weiyang Palace, but Liu Che had no intention of restraining the horse at all. Instead, he stepped up quickly, and Yulin, who was guarding the door, was just about to release arrows. Seeing that it was the emperor who broke into the palace, I thought something was wrong. Hurriedly unloaded the crossbow arrows that had been wound, and opened the palace door to welcome the emperor's majesty back to the palace.
Liu Che and Wei Qing were like two wild boars rushing into the vegetable field, riding war horses and knocking down countless palace attendants along the way. made the whole Weiyang Palace chickens fly and dogs jumped. This is the first time in the history of Weiyang Palace. Before this, no one had ever dared to gallop in the Weiyang Palace.
Galloping horses trampled the Imperial Garden. Kicked and smashed the Queen's favorite potted plant. knocked over the decoction made by the Queen Mother, and ran all the way to the Yilan Hall amid the screams of the palace people.
Without waiting for the palace people at the door to pass the word, Liu Che rushed into the Yilan Palace. But after entering, he regretted it, because of the excitement of the moment, he actually forgot that Jiwei Ya had been moved to the west side hall of the Yilan Palace.
But at this time, it is too late to go out. Wang Wan was holding a satin bag in her hand. Liu Che suppressed his excitement. Step by step, he walked towards his mother. Everyone's eyes were on Liu Che. But Liu Che's eyes only had the satin wrap.
A little doll with its eyes closed, as if it was still asleep. A small face was red and red, and the skin was a little wrinkled. The delicate skin is like a layer of paper. It's as if it would break with a single breath.
"Is this my son?" Liu Che looked at it blankly for a while, wanting to reach out and touch it, but he didn't dare. He was afraid that his hands would break the child's delicate skin.
"Emperor, now you have your own heirs. It's an adult, but you can't be as reckless as you are today. "Liu Che's horse stepping on Weiyang Palace has been reported by the sharp-eyed palace people. Wang Wan winked at Liu Che and signaled that the Empress Dowager was here, and it was better to ask for guilt first.
"Well, today is a good day for the emperor's eldest son to be celebrated by the whole world. It's okay to break this rule, but it can't be like this in the future. What does an emperor look like galloping in the Weiyang Palace. ”
The Empress Dowager reprimanded Liu Che with a straight face, but before she finished speaking, a smile bloomed on her face again. It can be seen that she likes the eldest son of the emperor very much.
When Wang Wan saw the appearance of the Queen Mother, she was relieved. With the care of the Empress Dowager, even Gillian and Princess Guantao did not dare to use any schemes.
Anything can happen in this palace, and how many princes have died before they reached their first birthday. Wang Huan's own sister Wang Haojiao suffered so much, as the woman who gave birth to the most princes in the harem. Wang Haojiao's early death contains great mystery.
"No, the grandson is wrong for the imperial grandmother. This is my eldest son, and I want to make him ......"
"Your Majesty, Wei Meiren's production is very hard. I heard that I had fainted, and His Majesty could go with the Queen Mother to take a look. Princess Guantao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.
Now the Empress Dowager is happy, if Liu Che really wants to crown this child as the crown prince. As soon as the old lady was happy, she opened her mouth to come again. That matter is irreparable, so Princess Guantao interrupted. used the reason to support Liu Che's mother and son, and took this opportunity to persuade the empress dowager not to agree to the eldest son of the Jin Emperor as the crown prince.
"No need, your majesty can go alone. Why bother ...... "Wang Wan Bingxue is smart, so she naturally knows what Princess Guantao thinks." Comrades who used to be in the trenches are now divided greatly, one of them wants to protect his son, and the other wants to protect his daughter.
"Wei Meiren works hard, and the old body will not go. If you go to visit on behalf of the elder, the emperor may be stingy with the reward. For the royal Ding import, this is a great merit must be rewarded. The Empress Dowager ordered, and Wang Wan had to take the order.
"The grandson knows, and the imperial grandmother sits down for a while. The grandson went to see Wei Meiren. Liu Che was far less than these women thought about, and hurriedly pulled his mother and walked towards the side hall. Wei Qing glanced at the satin package, and followed to the side hall.
"Mother, this child can't be crowned prince." The mother and son and Wei Qing had just left, and Princess Guantao said hurriedly, ignoring the palace people in the house and Wang Huan.
"Yes, grandma, how can the child born to that woman be crowned prince. Grandma ...... "Gillian pulled the sleeve of the Queen Mother and was coquettish."
"This is the eldest son of the emperor, why can't he be crowned the crown prince?" The Empress Dowager said with some displeasure.
"Mother, this is the eldest son of the emperor. But Majesty xià...... Belch...... Fortunately, she was in the Yun family when she was born, and this bloodline ...... Even putting aside the question of pedigree. This child is not a concubine after all, if this concubine child is named the crown prince, what if the queen gives birth to a concubine in the future? ”
Speaking of the issue of bloodline, the Empress Dowager was a little moved. The later concubines and concubines are not so important, but if their granddaughter gives birth to a prince in the future, they will abolish the child. That's a problem, and I don't know if I'll make it to that day.
Gillian looked at the Queen Mother with blank eyes, and a pair of small hands gently shook the Queen Mother's arm.
"Don't shake it, the old arms and legs will be shaken apart if you shake them again. You, you've done your best for this girl. Tell me what the old body should do. What to do can not only appease the world, but also help Gillian. ”
The Empress Dowager is a sign of compromise, after all, Princess Guantao is the only surviving child of the Empress Dowager. As a parent, where is there nothing that is not considered for children.
"Mother, do you think this is good. Within three years, the child will not be crowned prince. The child is three years old, and he has grown up and grown. It's not like Majesty xià can be seen at a glance, and the three-year-old looks younger than the seven-year-old.
If this child is really His Majesty's blood and bones, and he has a gentle temperament and a pure temperament. His Majesty named him the crown prince is also a suitable direct election, if the queen gives birth to Lin'er in these three years. Naturally, the child is going to be crowned the crown prince, mother, what do you think? ”
Princess Guantao's words can be described as impeccable, which can block the mouths of the people. can give Liu Che a convincing statement, although the doubt about the bloodline is not on the table. However, dragging it out for three years is still not a problem. Sometimes, it's easier to procrastinate than to veto.
The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time, and Gillian sobbed softly beside her. "Grandma'......"
"Well, the old body depends on you. However, this matter can only drag on for three years, and if Gillian is no longer pregnant, there is nothing she can do about it. (To be continued......)
