Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager's dormitory, Yongshou Palace.

Known to be the most powerful woman in the world, the Empress Dowager Dou of the Han Dynasty was lying quietly on the couch, and around her, several personal maids gently beat her body and massaged her limbs.

The eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, Tao Liu, knelt under the collapse of the Empress Dowager Dou, crying and saying: "Queen Mother, you must call the shots for your sons and gillian......

After the emperor had it, it was good news for the rest of the Han family.

But it is not for Liu Yan.

As a member of the Liu family, Liu Concubine knows too well what kind of virtue the man of the Liu family is.

Her father, Emperor Taizong, and her younger brother, Emperor Renzong, were both famous for their flowery turnips and standard bulldozers.

The current emperor's nephew, although he seems to be quite well-behaved, also respects Gillian and her aunt, and indeed loves Gillian very much.

But the emperor's love? What is it?

It's not that Liu Yan hasn't seen those women who were loved by Taizong and Renzong in every way at first, and then abandoned them.

The Empress Dowager Dou, who was on the couch, said to Liu casually: "What are you crying about, what is there to cry about?" The emperor has a son, and the Han family has a queen, this is a good thing......"

But Liu Concubine was unrelenting, pulling her mother's sleeve, sobbing and saying: "Queen Mother, you don't know, Gillian is now, let alone pregnant, the emperor didn't even have sex with Gillian, and now, the emperor has a son, what if he is made a prince, what should Gillian do?" ”

Since ancient times, the tradition of the Heavenly Family has been that either the mother is more precious than the son, or the son is more precious than the mother.

To put it simply, the eldest son born to the queen. That is naturally the prince, and the mother of the prince. will be ordained.

This is a universal value.

Though. The son of the righteous lady, judging from the current point of view, is absolutely impossible to be established.

But, what if?

What's more, crying children have milk to eat.

No matter what status the prince born to the righteous lady will be.

Liu believes that it is always beneficial for her to cry and make trouble.

Empress Dowager Dou sighed. sat up with the support of the maids, and said sternly to Liu Yan: "Guantao, don't make trouble, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know your thoughts......"

"Just now, the emperor has come, the eldest son of the emperor has been given the name of illness, and the princess is named Taotao......" Empress Dowager Dou shook her head and said: "Even if it is the mourning family, I also feel that the emperor is a little too much...... The righteous lady. Quite aggrieved ......"

When Liu Yan heard this, she was stunned, she didn't cry anymore, and her tears were gone.

Sick has this name. In today's Han family, just like Xiao Ming and Xiao Fang in later generations, it is one of the names with the highest popularity rate among the people.

Give a prince such a name.

Since he is the Son of Heaven, he hopes that this son will be safe and sound. Healthy and healthy growth, in another way. Didn't it show that the emperor didn't want this son to take on too heavy responsibilities?

Although Empress Dowager Dou was blind. But hearing is becoming more and more sensitive.

Listening to Guantao's voice, she sighed secretly in her heart.

This daughter really doesn't give her peace of mind!

"Pavilion Tao, ah......" Empress Dowager Dou took Liu Yan's hand, asked her to sit down, and said earnestly: "It's not that the mourning family said you, or the emperor didn't give the emperor's eldest son this name, and you shouldn't be so reckless, and you should be ...... in a hurry."

"What are you afraid of? Gillian is the queen, the lord of the Changqiu Palace, canonized by the mourning family, recognized by the ministers, the lady and beauty in the palace, no matter how many sons she has born, no matter how good she is, can she compare to the queen's son-in-law? ”

In the 59 years since the founding of the Liu family, there has been no scrapping and no scrapping.

Over the decades, this has become a tradition.

The inertia is far greater than you can imagine!

At the time of the first emperor, the Bo family had no queen, and the first emperor still had to take into account the power of this tradition, and did not dare to speak lightly.

As for the Empress Dowager Dou herself, she is the beneficiary of this tradition.

Back then, in Taizong's later years, she already had problems with her eyes, and after the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, she was almost blind.

At that time, there were many beauties in the palace, but she, the blind queen, still had the last laugh.

Therefore, in the view of the Empress Dowager Dou, the key to the problem is not how many children the other concubines have, but whether the queen has children or not.

As long as Chen Ajiao has a son and a half daughter, she can help that grandson to the storage position!

In the final analysis, Empress Dowager Dou felt that she was too pampered and indulged in this daughter on weekdays.

So much so that she has reached the point where she is so pampered and proud today!

Isn't it normal for the emperor to have women, and there are many women?

When Empress Xuanping, the granddaughter of Empress Lu, gave Emperor Hui as the queen, Emperor Hui's harem was also complete with three palaces and six courtyards, and even Emperor Hui never touched a finger of Empress Xuanping.

Did Empress Lu and Princess Lu Yuan do anything out of the ordinary?

Another example is that when she was the queen, she was old and decrepit, and Emperor Taizong chased those younger and more beautiful concubines.

Even Liu Yi, the king of Liang Huai, once posed a huge threat to the position of the prince of the first emperor.

What did she do?

No, nothing!

even, he took the initiative to lower his body frame and marry those favored concubines, at least on the surface.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Dou sighed and said: "The mourning family is still alive now, you can be so indulgent, but if one day, the mourning family is gone, what should you do?" The lessons of Su Ji in the first emperor, you have to remember the pavilion! ”

Listening to these obviously warning and dissatisfied words, Guan Tao hurriedly knelt down and said, "How can the queen mother say these unlucky words, the queen mother will definitely enjoy a thousand years and live a long life!" ”

Of course, Liu Yan knows that her mother is not angry, and when she is angry, it is the anger of thunder.

Besides, the emperor hinted to his mother that he would not set up the son of the righteous lady, and it would be stupid for her not to know how to accept it when she saw it.

She rolled her eyes, immediately changed to a smiling face, and said coquettishly: "What the son just said is nonsense, please don't take it to heart ...... queen mother."

"In the future, Gillian will give birth to a princess, and she will be brought to bear her knees under the queen mother's knees!"

Empress Dowager Dou stared at Concubine Liu with a pair of godless eyes. She couldn't see Concubine Liu's look and appearance clearly, and could only see a vague figure. Shaking her head, Empress Dowager Dou sighed: "I hope so......"

To this daughter. She was disappointed.

She said so much that I thought the other party would know what she meant.

But who would have thought about it......

"I hope that in the future, Gillian will be smarter than her mother......" Empress Dowager Dou thought to herself.

The women in this court can only have the last laugh if they are smart enough.

………………………………………………………………

At the same time, Weiyang Palace, among the greenhouse halls.

Empress Dowager Bo hugged the little princess who had just been born for more than a day, and her mouth couldn't close with joy.

"Peach, the mourning family's good peach peach......" Empress Dowager Bo kissed and touched the little princess's little face, and she was extremely loving.

She is in this life. I've never been happier than I am now.

She had been thinking about wanting to have a child.

But, in the end, this dream turned out to be just a dream.

However, because of this, she is now so excited, even happy.

No, as the queen mother, and there is a queen mother on top of her head. Empress Dowager Bo, at this time, she really can't wait to hold the prince and the princess together in her arms.

"If the queen mother likes Taotao, I will ask people to take Taotao to visit the queen mother often in the future, and greet the queen mother," Liu Che said with a smile on ......the side.

For the Bo Empress Dowager. Liu Che's feelings became more and more complicated, and gradually he really regarded her as his mother.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Bo liked the little princess, Liu Che naturally opened the door to convenience.

Empress Dowager Bo listened. Couldn't be more satisfied.

In her life, she had the greatest wish. It's to be able to hold a child and watch him grow up. Regardless of gender, beauty and ugliness are even smart and stupid.

There is no hope for children.

But granddaughters are available.

"Emperor, does the princess have an edict?" Empress Dowager Bo suddenly asked.

Liu Che was stunned, the Han family has never had a precedent for enshrinement of any newborn prince and princess, and generally, they will wait for the prince or princess to be eight or even ten years old before giving a pardon.

This is because the foundation of maternal and child health care in this era is too weak.

is born into a heavenly family, and the premature death rate is also high and scary.

Emperor Taizong had more than a dozen sons and seven or eight princesses during his lifetime, but when Taizong died, he had only two sons and one daughter to die.

Among them, the first three sons died young.

Even Liu Yi, the king of Lianghuai who was born after ascending the throne, fell off his horse and died because of an accident, and by the way, he got into a future prime minister candidate, Jia Yi, who is regarded as a figure like Xiao He and Cao Shen.

Therefore, usually, the canonization of the royal family will wait until the prince or princess is at least out of danger at an early age and can have a certain degree of resistance before it will be considered.

Otherwise, the front foot is canonized, and if the back foot dies, wouldn't it be to suck the emperor's face?

What is said to be the order of heaven? What about the Son of Heaven?

This is a very serious problem at this time.

However, looking at the happy appearance of Empress Dowager Bo, Liu Che was not easy to disturb, let alone worried. I can only smile and say: "I'm waiting for my mother to give Tao Tao a life!" ”

The Han family, the princess's decree, is basically implemented by the East Palace, of course, the emperor also has the right to decide, but the final edict must be promulgated by the Queen Mother of the East Palace.

Now, this power belongs to the Empress Dowager Dou, but, as the Empress Dowager, Bo can still decide the fate of a princess, and the Empress Dowager will not be embarrassed by her daughter-in-law on the issue of a princess.

Empress Dowager Bo didn't have any political scheming, listened to Liu Che's words, nodded happily, and then hugged the little princess, pacing slowly, thinking.

After a while, the Empress Dowager Bo smiled and said: "The mourning family remembers, when Taizong, Ye County had tribute jade, gold beads and other things, the mourning family was loved by Emperor Taizong, and once gave a pair of gold beads, I heard that Ye County is a good place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, is the emperor like this?" ”

Liu Che nodded.

Ye County, that's really a good place!

Historically, Cao Cao had been in Ye Narrow to order the princes, although the background at that time was that the two capitals were ruined, and neither of them was within the scope of Cao Cao's control.

But it also shows to some extent that Ye County is rich.

Even now, Ye County is not a small place.

More than 100 years ago, it was still the capital of Wei!

"Then let's be named the princess of Yeyi!" Empress Dowager Bo said with a smile.

Liu Che was slightly stunned, Princess Yeyi?

The title of the princess of the old Liu family is not a nominal title like the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, but a real title that belongs to the princess's private territory.

There are even some strong princesses who can decide the choice of the fiefdom and county order.

Like the current Princess Taichang of Guantao, her Tangmu place Guantao is her own private playground.

If this is not the case, when Liu Fei, the king of Qi mourning, offered Chengyang County to Princess Lu Yuan as a place for soup and mu, he would not have been so appreciated by Empress Lu, and even escaped death.

Ye County, with a permanent population of nearly 10,000 or 20,000 households, is stronger than Zhiguantao County.

gave such a big county to Taotao, Liu Che was worried that when this little girl grew up in the future, I am afraid that it would become a nightmare for the kings of the Han family!

The princess of the old Liu family, not to mention other people, Liu Che himself is afraid!

In the past, there was Lu Yuan, who could decide the life and death of the princes and kings, and now there was Guantao, known as the 'Minister of the Underground Organization Department', and there was also an eldest princess of Hubei in the back, who could wrestle with Huo Guang.

And why are these princesses so strong?

Of course, it is inseparable from the queen mothers or emperors behind them.

But the abundant human and financial resources of their fiefdoms are also their strengths.

The legs and faces of the subordinates are all raised for money!

It's just that Liu Che looked at the happy appearance of the Empress Dowager Bo, and he couldn't bear to hurt it, so he could only pinch his nose and say: "Since it is the queen mother's golden mouth, then the son will treat Yeyi and Yiji to thank the queen mother for her kindness!" ”

Isn't she just a princess of Yeyi!

Anyway, the old Liu family has always had a tradition of raising the eldest daughter richly.

At that time, Princess Lu Yuan's Tangmu land had as many as one county and three counties, which was much bigger than the average vassal state, and no one chirped crookedly.

For the courtiers and the people in the palace, the title and title of the prince are fundamental!

…………………………………………………………

The affairs of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace have rarely been able to hide from the gossip party in Chang'an City.

It didn't take long for the news to spread all over the world.

Although for the specific situation of the prince and princess, the name or something, these details are unknown to outsiders.

But the princess was named Princess Yeyi, and the eldest princess of Guantao went to see the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, these things can't be hidden at all, and they can't be hidden.

Soon, everyone knew.

Of course, some people know more, and some people know less.

But no matter how many details they know, some people still start to weigh and plan based on what they know.

"The eldest son of the emperor was given the name 'Sick Already', it seems that His Majesty is unwilling to establish a long term, and wants to establish a successor...... "Some people are worried, there is no trivial matter in the heavenly family, any wind and grass, everyone wants to find some signs or metaphors from it, and the hidden metaphor of the emperor's eldest son's name is too straightforward, so straightforward that even stupid people know what it means.

But what's the matter.

What does the emperor mean, is it positive or negative?

It depends on each person's understanding.

What if the son of the day wants to escort the emperor's eldest son?

Who knows?

Moreover, if one day, the Son of Heaven suddenly became like the first emperor, in the current situation, the eldest son of the emperor is the heir of the ironclad.

Besides, even if none of this happens, it doesn't matter, a lady who has just given birth to a princess and princess must be the most favored and favored time, at this time stammering or even kneeling and licking, as long as you hug the thigh, it is the golden thigh!

As a result, many speculators began to act eagerly. (To be continued......)
