First Prince of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 805

  Chapter 805 Chen’s

After seeing his son, Zhu Biao headed towards Chen Yunqing’s dormitory. If he hadn’t activated it yet, he would go to the Hall of Martial Heroes to have a look. Something big might happen in the grassland. I heard that just now his father had summoned Chang Yuchun and others to Wuying. The palace discusses military affairs.

Just halfway through the walk, I met Zhao Huai’an who came in a hurry, so there was no need to ask any more questions. At this time, there was nothing else going on in the East Palace. Zhu Biao quickened his pace, and the few palace people behind him stopped consciously. Scattered to report everywhere.

  Although it is not that precious, but it is the blood of the Eastern Palace after all. The Holy Queen and the Crown Princess have ordered that any situation must be reported as soon as possible.

Zhu Biao’s steps were fast, but he was very steady in his heart. Firstly, he had asked the imperial physician repeatedly that the fetus was well-raised, so there probably would not be any accidents. Secondly, no matter what he said, he had three sons and a daughter after all. , I am indeed a little used to this kind of thing.

   What I think more about is Chen Yunqing’s father, Chen Youzong, the former envoy who returned to the south of the Yangtze River for nearly a year after being dismissed from office, maybe it’s time to take the opportunity to recover.

  …

  In front of the Chen Mansion in Hangzhou, Chen Youzong, who was dressed in regular clothes and smiling, personally sent a group of people out of the mansion. After they all got on the carriage and walked away, he restrained his smile and returned home.

  Walking to my mother’s yard, I tidied up the sleeves of the crown carefully, and then I walked in slowly, and was ushered into the inner bed by the maid, and saw my wife was feeding medicine to the old mother who was leaning on the jade pillow.

  Chen Youzong saluted respectfully, and then stepped forward to take the medicine cup and spoon in his wife’s hand: “I’ll serve my mother, Madam will take a rest by the side.”

   Mrs. Chen said bluntly: “You have to come over, whether it’s hot or not, it’s a lot of trouble.”

   “It’s not that the son was busy with government affairs in the past and neglected to serve his mother. Now that he has nothing to do at home, he wants to be filial to make up for one or two debts in his heart. The mother is reluctant to understand her son’s filial piety.”

   “You feel at ease in your heart, but the old man will suffer for nothing.”

  That’s what she said, but Mrs. Chen still happily drank the medicine her son gave her, and her brows were not as frowning as before. It was obvious that she was very grateful for her son’s filial piety.

  But no matter how sweet it is in my heart, this medicine is bitter. After half a cup, the old lady obviously didn’t want to drink it anymore. After a few words of persuasion, Chen Youzong looked at his wife for help.

   Mrs. Chen took the medicine cup and said: “Mother’s health is much better, and Doctor Chen also said that the medicine can be reduced.”

   “That’s good.”

Chen Youzong called the maid to get up the candied fruit and gave it to her mother. After a while, the old lady couldn’t help but sighed and said, “It’s all my fault that I was ill at the wrong time, otherwise you and your wife would have gone to the capital to accompany Yunqing to give birth. Now my granddaughter is here The palace is about to pass the gate of hell, and there is not even a blood relative to accompany him.”

  Naturally, idlers are not allowed to enter the palace, but there is still extra special care for heroes who are pregnant with the flesh and blood of the heavenly family. Female elders can visit the palace every month to visit and accompany them, and they can even live in the palace when they are about to give birth.

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn’t help turning her back and covering her eyes with her sleeves. Naturally, Chen Youzong felt sorry for his daughter, but seeing the old mother and his wife hurriedly comforted him, he said, “Didn’t you ask several doctors to read Yunqing’s pulse case?” , said that it is a Taiping fetus, nothing will happen, and Yun Qing also said in the letter, that your old body is the most important thing, and she will be taken care of by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and nothing will happen.”

After spending a lot of effort to calm him down, Chen Youzong was thirsty. He went to the table and sat down to drink half a pot of tea. Ping An, I also hope that this child can restore my son to a glorious family.”

   Mrs. Chen followed with red eyes and made a wish: “I hope it will be a boy.”

The flesh that fell from her body, she was not looking forward to anything else, but only after being a woman did she know how difficult the world is for women. Even if the princess is extremely noble, there are countless etiquette constraints, but for her daughter, After all, it is a comfortable and decent life to have a son by his side. “

   “You Zong, it doesn’t matter whether Yunqing’s child is male or female, as long as it can be delivered safely, you should be able to return to Beijing.”

  Chen Youzong responded: “The Holy One values ​​bloodlines. Anyone who gives birth to a bloodline heir for the Eastern Palace will be regarded as a meritorious service to the community. Since he will favor the family, he will surely recover.”

   “Your Highness should have planned this a long time ago.” Chen Youzong smiled wryly: “Now that I think about it, before I was dismissed from office, His Highness probably knew about Yunqing’s pregnancy, and that’s why he pushed me to make an example of others.”

  The old lady was silent for a moment and said: “Don’t have any resentment, that is the crown prince and the prince. The person who will rule the world in the future will have deep meaning in every move. We, the family of courtiers, follow the above.”

  ”The son naturally understands, so since he left Beijing and returned to Jiangnan, he has never been idle for a day, running around every day to contact relatives and friends of the family, restraining his children and admonishing the old, so as to carry out His Highness’s intentions to all the families in the south of the Yangtze River.”

   “My son is a good man. He can bend and stretch to be a real man.”

“In and outside the clan, there are many people with short-sightedness. Those people are arrogant and respectful. When they first found out that you were dismissed from office and returned to your hometown, they dared to accuse you unceremoniously in front of me for ruining the opportunities of the clan. What kind of face does Yunqing have when she is pregnant, hmph, it’s arrogant and respectful, it makes people laugh just thinking about it.”

   “Mother doesn’t need to waste her mind on this, the son will vent his anger on his mother in the future.”

   What Chen Youzong said was very plain, but the old mother and wife naturally knew who he was. If it was someone else, maybe he could laugh it off, but when it comes to Mrs. Chen, it will be revenge.

“Forget it, some fools, why bother, they have come to beg for forgiveness, and I have vented my anger. No matter what, this person has three aunts and six relatives. In the end, they are old relatives. You have to do your best for His Highness. You can’t do without him.” Open these capable relatives.”

   “Don’t let some stupid people break the friendship with everyone, otherwise when you encounter troubles in Beijing, you will pass the news back to each other and delay each other. In the end, you will not be responsible for your ineffectiveness in front of Your Highness.”

   “What the mother taught, the son will remember.” Chen Youzong stood up and responded respectfully, but he had a different plan in his heart. For more than half a year, it seemed that he had fallen from the sky to the ground, and many things became clearer.

  Relying on His Highness’s kindness, the Jiangnan family relied on His Highness’s kindness, even if he deliberately restrained them, but with the prosperity of business and the development of sea trade, the size of each family and clan has swelled too much, and they are not as cautious and united as before.

  Especially the juniors in the family, relying on the power of the family, bullying and dominating the market without any scruples, based on his understanding of the prince, if he hasn’t issued a warning at this time, it is clearly laissez-faire.

  Restraining the most powerful civil servants, Wu Xun, the relatives of the emperor, but not the aristocratic merchants who are the easiest to restrain, what is the prince’s thinking?

When he realized this, he even got a little creepy. The older generation of all races also noticed something wrong. Unfortunately, they are old and weak. Maybe they can be scolded by others because of their seniority, but the younger generation just ignore it. In vain?

   Relying on the clan can survive the troubled times, but it may not be able to survive the prosperous times, especially the prosperous times of these two.

   It is necessary to cut off the family and the Jiangnan family as a whole, and it is necessary to cut the flesh and bones, and it is imperative to divide the clan.

Fortunately, the heavens are merciful, Yunqing is pregnant with the emperor’s heir, and she only hopes to give birth to the emperor’s grandson safely. In the future, the family of the clan will also rely on her. Although she is still a little reluctant to part with her ancestors’ foundation, the most important thing is to preserve the incense, and the rest will eventually come to an end. Is outside the body.

  …

Zhu Biao said a few words to Chen Yunqing through the screen, and then was invited out of the bedroom by Mrs. Wen. The three imperial physicians were also standing aside with their medical boxes on their backs. If there were no accidents, they did not need to enter. Wen Po is very experienced, and there is even one with a little skill.

   Soon the Crown Princess also came. As the hostess of the Eastern Palace, all children born in this palace should respect her as the aunt.

  Zhu Biao reached out to support his wife, and nodded to a palace maid in Tsing Yi and a pendant behind her. It was the big palace maid next to his mother.

   “My lord is here later, my concubine will go in and have a look.”

   “The imperial doctor said there is no problem. If you don’t want to go, just stay with me and wait for the news.”

   It would be uncomfortable for anyone to see other women give birth to their husbands, and Zhu Biao didn’t want to wrong his first wife, not to mention that she was not a doctor when she went in, so she was just looking at it.

Chang Luohua waved his hands and ordered a few servants who needed to take care of the boiling water and boiling the medicine in person, and then whispered to her husband: “There is a precedent for Chun’er, the concubine should go in and watch it with his own eyes to be at ease, let alone Chen Youzong It is also a confidant that the master needs to use, and he must be appeased.”

   “Then it will be hard for you.”

   “This is the duty of a concubine as a clan wife.”
