Mrs. Shizi's words became a proverb.

Knowing that the eldest princess gave birth to twins, countless people came to congratulate the capital, and even the palace was surprised when they heard it.

Twins are rare, I didn't expect the Queen Mother to give birth to a pair of twins, and the eldest princess actually gave birth to a pair, and they are all healthy and safe.

Now that the country is prosperous, such a scene is more and more associated with auspiciousness.

Fortunately, not long after Queen Zhou gave birth, although the one in the palace was not a twin, he was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

From the second day of the Lunar New Year to the present, Kunning Palace has not stopped visiting, because Queen Zhou is still inconvenient in confinement, and most of them are received by Mrs. Zhou.

Queen Zhou only guards the child in the warm pavilion, although it is confined, she has to read to the child every day, regardless of whether the child understands it or not.

The palace people who were waiting occasionally went in to see it, and they all said that the queen mother is really a female champion now.

Dan'er only smiled when she heard this, and from time to time she betrayed someone to persuade Queen Zhou, "The queen mother takes a break, reading is naturally a good thing, but I'm afraid you will hurt your eyes." ”

"I'm measured."

Empress Zhou gently put the book on the head of the bed, and the child was already asleep.

Newborn children are always sleepy, and they have to sleep for most of the day, and the nurses always have to carry the child down to sleep, which is also the practice in the palace.

Queen Zhou wanted to be closer to her children, so she used the excuse of reading to keep her children to sleep.

She said to Dan'er: "If you are afraid that I will hurt my eyes, find a literate palace maid to read it for me." Wouldn't it be good for her to read it and for me to listen to Chen'er's mother and son together? ”

"That's a good idea."

Dan'er said with a smile: "Every time the eldest prince listens to the queen's mother's reading, he obediently opens his eyes and looks at the mother, and he falls asleep after a while." Let the palace maid read it, and the queen mother can sleep with the eldest prince. ”

Queen Zhou said: "By the way, the eldest sister gave birth to a pair of twins, can you send someone to see it for me?" Have you ever sent a gift? ”

"The queen mother is in confinement, and these naturally don't have time to think that the slaves and maids have been sent."

Dan'er said: "The people who went came back and said that the eldest princess's pair of twins are really cute, and they were born exactly the same, just because the twins look smaller, not as white and fat as our eldest prince." ”

Speaking of the eldest prince, Empress Zhou unconsciously smiled on her face and glanced at the sleeping child beside her.

She said softly: "On the day I just gave birth, the child was taken out, and the emperor came in to see me. I asked the emperor if the child was like me or like him, and he said that his eyes were like me and his mouth was like him. When I look at it myself, it's not like that at all. ”

She felt that the child's eyes were like Yuanji, and the momentum between the eyebrows was the same as Yuanji, but the face shape was like her, and the chin was slightly curled with such a small chin that was so small.

Dan'er couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "Secretly tell Niangniang that the emperor hugged the eldest prince that day, saying why the child was red and wrinkled, and he looked disgusted." It was the Queen Mother who persuaded the emperor that the newborn children were like this, so the emperor was better. Thinking about it, he can't see where the eldest prince is like you or where he is like him, and he is afraid that you will worry, so he is talking nonsense. ”

Empress Zhou couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Zhi was a father for the first time, and when she thought of Mrs. Zhou entering the delivery room that day to talk to her, saying how Yuan Zhi was anxious and worried outside, she felt infinite sweetness in her heart.

As he was talking, he suddenly saw the little palace maid come in and say, "Niangniang, the emperor is discussing with the ministers in the Qianqing Palace, saying that he came to Kunning Palace to have lunch with the queen's mother." ”

Empress Zhou said with a smile: "All I eat here is confinement rice, the medicinal food master makes it rotten, not in line with the emperor's taste, what is he doing here?" ”

said this, but did not mean to refuse at all, but instructed Dan'er, "Quickly let the small kitchen make a few dishes that the emperor loves to eat, so that the emperor will not eat well." ”

"Hey."

Dan'er answered and walked out.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, Yuan Zhi called Su Zhiming, Prince Yong and others.

It was the time of the New Year's holiday, and the court was not open, Yuanzhi invited everyone to sit, and only said: "Originally, I shouldn't have disturbed Uncle Wang and Uncle Wang for the New Year, but for the happy event of the birth of the eldest prince, I wanted to ask the two elders for an idea." ”

"Don't bother what the emperor says, just say it."

Prince Yong glanced at Su Zhiming and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated the emperor on having the eldest son, I heard that the eldest prince was born very white and cute, but it's a pity that I can't see it now." When the eldest prince is full moon, the minister must take a good look. ”

"It's nature."

Yuan Zhi said: "I just thought that Chen Que is the eldest son, if it is so quiet, it is not enough to express my attention and joy." So please ask the two elders to decide, what kind of courtesy should be given to him? ”

Su Zhiming glanced at Prince Yong, it seemed that Yuan Zhi was planning to give his eldest son a title.

But the child is still so young, it is a bit exaggerated, not to mention that the name Yuan Chenque can already reflect great importance......

Su Zhiming thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is still too young, if he exerts too much grace, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it." It's better to wait, isn't the emperor already the mother of Queen Jiaen? ”

"I don't think that's enough."

Yuanzhi didn't want to treat this eldest son badly, so Prince Yong said: "When the emperor was young, the first emperor was also in the same pain, but he never gave too much grace. The first emperor often said that the princes could not be pampered, for fear that if they were raised, their future temperament would not be as good as hard work. ”

Motoji was silent when he heard this.

What Prince Yong said is also reasonable, if you give too much grace when the child is still ignorant, the child will be sensible when he is older in the future, and he is afraid that he will be pampered and arrogant.

Yuanzhi himself is the eldest son, he understands very well the self-esteem and pride of the pride of the sky when he was a child, even if his biological mother Empress Jiang is gone early, it can't change his pride among the princes.

Fortunately, Su Youyi was by his side to teach him carefully, otherwise he was afraid that he would continue to be naughty, and he didn't know when he would study hard.

Thinking of this, he let out a sigh of relief, "Since the two elders don't think it should be, then it's okay." I listen to you. ”

Su Zhiming smiled, "The emperor's love for his son, the ministers and others all understand. It's just that since the emperor loves his son, it is better to push this love son's heart to the world, and the minister has a proposal, I don't know what the emperor thinks. ”

"Uncle, please speak."

Su Zhiming said: "Because of the war, the people in the northwest near the grassland area were implicated in the war and have not yet completely recuperated. The minister thinks that the emperor might as well exempt him from paying taxes for two years in the name of the eldest prince, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for the eldest prince, so good? ”
