He tossed with his concubine until midnight before he was born, and Yuan Zhi and Queen Zhou couldn't help but go back to rest.

The concubines also dispersed, and Queen Zhou only told Qian Changzai and Sun Changzai, who lived in Chuxiu Palace, to take care of her more, and if something happened, they would come to Kunning Palace immediately to return to her.

This night, Queen Zhou fell asleep very late, and when she woke up the next day, she heard the good news, "The queen mother, born with a concubine, is a beautiful little princess!" ”

Dan'er came to tell her happily, and Queen Zhou was also very happy to hear it, and hurriedly asked her to make up.

"Does the emperor know about it?"

"The emperor knows, he only went to the early court after hearing about it, and he didn't have time to see the concubine yet."

Empress Zhou nodded, "Presumably the emperor will pass after the dynasty, you quickly order someone to prepare a congratulatory gift, and I will take it to see the concubine in a while." She had just given birth and needed to be condoled at this time. ”

Queen Zhou herself is also a person from the past, so she naturally understands the feeling of having just given birth.

Dan'er nodded, holding her hair in a bun for Queen Zhou, "It's good to have a princess with your concubine, this is the emperor's eldest princess." If you can be like the eldest princess who has been married, it is also a blessing that cannot be found. ”

Queen Zhou said: "The emperor doesn't know how, but the queen mother likes her daughter very much." Presumably she will like it when she meets our little princess. ”

After finishing her makeup, she went outside to have breakfast, and soon went to Chuxiu Palace.

Chuxiu Palace is lively, and there is an endless stream of people who come to congratulate.

Hearing that the queen was coming, everyone hurriedly got out of the way to salute the queen, and Queen Zhou walked into the hall with a smile, only to see the concubine lying on the bed, holding the child and saying something to Mrs. Zhao.

Seeing Empress Zhou, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly got up and saluted, and when she was about to get up with her concubine, Empress Zhou waved her hand, "Don't get up, take care of it." Come, let me see the little princess. ”

He Concubine smiled and handed the child to her, Queen Zhou held it in her arms, and only felt that the little princess was very beautiful and cute, "You are beautiful, the little princess is like you, and she will definitely be a big beauty when she grows up in the future." ”

When the concubine heard this, she smiled from ear to ear, and looked out again, "Queen Mother, does the emperor know about the concubine giving birth to a princess?" ”

"The emperor knows."

Empress Zhou handed the child to the nurse, sat on the edge of the bed and slowly said to the concubine: "The emperor heard the news in the morning, he was very happy, and he was going to come to see you." But when the time of the early dynasty came, it was not good to let the ministers wait, so he went to the court first, and came to see you and the little princess in a while. ”

"Is the emperor really happy?"

He Concubine has been waiting for Yuan Zhi to come to see her but can't wait, she is a little lost in her heart, and she is better after listening to Queen Zhou's words.

Empress Zhou nodded, "Naturally happy, our princess is rare, not worse than the prince at all, don't you know if you look at the eldest princess who married into the Jiangcheng Hou Mansion?" ”

When the concubine heard this, she immediately nodded, and said to her mother, Mrs. Zhao, "Did you hear it?" Even the queen said so, what are you speculating about? How could the emperor not like the princess? She is also the emperor's first princess. ”

Empress Zhou couldn't help but look at Mrs. Zhao, who looked embarrassed.

Presumably before Queen Zhou came, she said that many daughters were not as good as men, for the Zhao family, they must be looking forward to a prince who can have real power in the future, right?

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, how can a princess compare to the prince?" Or you are blessed, you gave birth to a prince in the first child, and you will be rich and noble in the future, unlike the concubine, she only gave birth to a princess. ”

"Blossom first and then bear fruit, and there may not be a prince in the future."

Empress Zhou was still covering up for Mrs. Zhao in front of the concubines, and her tone was much more serious at this time, "Mrs. Zhao, although the princess was born to the concubine, she is also the daughter of the palace and the emperor. Hongu will never allow anyone to look down on Hongu's daughter, understand? ”

Mrs. Zhao trembled, only then did she realize that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly excused herself.

Seeing this, the concubine was afraid that her mother would be convicted, and when she wanted to explain something to her mother, Queen Zhou had already turned her face to look at her, "Don't worry, this palace is not angry." It's just that I'm worried that Mrs. Zhao's words will reach the emperor's ears and cause Long Yan to be angry. Don't talk about that, I'll bring you something that you can use, you see. ”

Dan'er ordered the palace maid to bring the reward in, and when she saw those gold, jade, jewelry, silk and satin, Mrs. Zhao had already thrown Fang Cai's horror out of the clouds.

There was a burden wrapped in silk cloth outside, and Queen Zhou took it and handed it to the concubine, "This is the clothes that Chen'er wore when she was born, you can rest assured, these are all worn by Chen'er." In addition, there is a bag sent by an official outside, and Chen'er grew up before she had time to wear it, so I also sent it to you. You can see if you like it or not, if you like it, you can wear it for the princess, and if you don't like it, it doesn't hurt to throw it away. ”

The newborn child is not dressed in the clothes of men and women, they are all about the same, so Queen Zhou brought them over.

He Concubine was only happy with the clothes worn by the eldest prince, and was busy thanking Queen Zhou, "Thank you to the queen concubine, I didn't expect the queen to take the concubine's words to heart so much, and the concubine was really flattered." ”

Empress Zhou just smiled and didn't say anything.

For a while, there was a sound of talking outside, and it turned out to be Concubine Li, Min Guiren, and the two Chang Zai who came in, and they all congratulated him and his concubine.

Concubine Li smiled: "I brought some gifts to my sister, all of which my sister can use, and I ask my sister not to dislike it." Fortunately, the child is still young, and the things used by the prince and the prince are similar, and my previous preparations were not wasted. ”

The implication is that her gift was originally intended for the prince.

Others didn't hear the meaning of this, but Concubine He heard it clearly, although Concubine Li came to congratulate with a smile, she also felt uncomfortable.

gave birth to a princess, she didn't feel lost in her heart, and even her biological mother, Mrs. Zhao, said that the princess was not as good as the prince, and she didn't take it to heart.

But seeing Concubine Li's smile, she was suddenly a little annoyed, angry that she didn't give birth to a prince to make Concubine Li respond.

If Concubine Li gives birth to a prince in the future, won't she be pressed down by her again?

Thinking of this, He Concubine felt very uncomfortable.

Empress Zhou noticed that Concubine He's face was not good-looking, so she stood up without saying a few words, "Concubine He has just given birth, let her rest well, and save some strength to talk to the emperor for a while." Let's go out first, and put down your sister's gifts. ”

Concubine Li didn't say anything, everyone followed Queen Zhou out, Queen Zhou turned around and smiled: "There is another little princess in the palace, all sisters have to work harder." There will be more and more children in the harem, and you have to bother your sisters to take good care of these children, whether they have children or not, after all, they are all the emperor's children, don't you say? ”
