Chapter 424: The New Emperor Becomes a Son and Grants Amnesty
"Oh, Master, the lady is in there and won't run away. Please ask the midwives to clean her up first."
Xuan Qi pulled Xie Jingci out, feeling both amused and helpless, and said to the person inside, "Pack up quickly."
Their masters were all waiting anxiously outside the palace.
"yes."
The midwives sped up, cleaned up quickly, and left in an orderly manner.
Xie Jingci rushed in impatiently.
Before he reached the bed, he saw Lu Wanyin leaning against the bedpost, gnawing on pork ribs with relish.
There was still oil on his hands, and the sweat from his forehead soaked his hair, sticking to his face.
Her lips, slightly paler than usual, still looked energetic because of the oil stains.
Xie Jingci wiped her sweat with a distressed look on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard.”
Lu Wanyin threw the last bone onto the plate and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xuanyi."
With so many midwives around her, it was not easy for her to get food from the space, so she could only rely on Xuan Yi to do it.
At this hour, I'm afraid even the spatula is smoking.
Xie Jingci felt a surge of warmth in his heart, with thousands of words condensed in his eyes, but he couldn't turn them into words to tell her. In the end, he could only hold her tightly in his arms.
The chaotic heartbeat sound reached my ears clearly.
Lu Wanyin struggled to get the handkerchief from the bedside to wipe her hands, then patted his back: "Husband, please let go, I want to drink some water."
Xuan Qi shook his head helplessly and quietly retreated.
Madam will ruin the atmosphere.
The next morning, the new emperor was blessed with a son and a daughter. The whole country celebrated and he issued a general amnesty.
The little prince's name is Xunzhou. He is the Crown Prince of Dasheng and the future heir to the throne.
The princess is the eldest sister of the prince. Her name is Zhiyu and her title is Anle. She has the same power as the prince.
The empress commands the harem and has the same power as the emperor.
The Empress's order was the same as the Emperor's order. If the Emperor was not satisfied with any matter, big or small, related to Da Sheng, they could report it to the Empress for handling.
When this decree was issued, the whole world was in an uproar.
Putting aside the general amnesty, all those who committed serious crimes in the imperial city had already been hanged before the new emperor ascended the throne;
Nor did he mention the prince who was crowned the crown prince just one day after he was born;
There is also a princess who was born on the same day but already had a title. How favored is she?
These seem to be nothing compared to the last one.
Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in political affairs.
The new emperor not only abolished this rule, he even directly announced to the world that meeting the empress was like meeting the emperor.
If the current queen had any rebellious intentions, she could easily take over the world.
Emperor Yongchang was so bold that even the most unruly person in the world would say it was ridiculous.
Yet, no one in the entire Da Sheng court opposed this extremely absurd decree.
Even the most conservative Mr. Hou didn't say a word of objection.
As Xie Jingci's only elder, the old lady couldn't let go of this matter at all.
Her eyes were filled with her precious great-grandchildren.
Some people wanted to find the old lady to apply some eye drops, but they couldn't find any sign of her after looking for several days.
The old woman no longer listened to operas or storytelling. She stayed in her side hall all day, helping Lu Wanyin take care of the children.
"Oh, grandma's precious great-grandson, but this food doesn't suit your taste. Tell grandma what you want to eat."
"Oh my, my dear great-granddaughter, why are you sticking out your little feet again?
Did you accidentally kick the wooden bed just now? Come and see grandma if it hurts."
The old lady touched it left and right with great curiosity, her face flushed.
The mistress demeanor she had cultivated over the years was long gone, and her face was covered with wrinkles from smiling.
I only sleep for more than two hours a day, but I am still full of energy.
Lu Wanyin listened to the voice in the side hall and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandma, these two children are only a few days old, how can they speak?"
The old lady smiled and said, "It's okay, just tell them."
The old lady liked the two children, and Lu Wanyin did not spoil her fun.
Xie Jingci had just ascended the throne and there were still a lot of affairs to deal with in the court, so Xie Jingci would not be able to come back until very late every day.
She stayed in her bedroom during this period of confinement, eating and sleeping, and was quite happy.
Although the birth of the two children did not torture her, it took away a lot of her spiritual power.
Lu Wanyin obviously felt much weaker.
This is also the reason why she kept eating to replenish her energy on the day of delivery.
The spiritual spring water can restore spiritual power quickly, but it is not as tasty as food.
Anyway, there is plenty of time, so thank you Xuanyi for your hard work.
After a period of time, everyone in the palace knew that their queen had an appalling appetite.
"I've never seen a pregnant woman as amazing as you in this world."
Because she was worried about Lu Wanyin's health, Song Jiuning stayed in the palace for several days and took her pulse every day.
Apart from her still very good appetite, there was nothing wrong with Lu Wanyin.
After Lu Wanyin finished taking the pulse, she took the menu specially prepared by Xuanyi and started ordering food.
Song Jiuning held her forehead helplessly: "Others are almost dead, but here it's better, it's like having a big meal and giving birth to a baby at the same time."
She put away her medicine box and came over: "Add two more dishes. Xuanyi has been very busy these days. I haven't tasted his cooking for a long time.
I just happened to have dinner at your place today."
In the court.
The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
The Minister of Revenue stood in the middle, trembling with fear.
“Your Majesty, food is the foundation of a country after all.
Even schools and academies in various places were responsible for regulating the thoughts of the people.
Leave it all to Her Majesty the Queen, whether, whether…"
As soon as Emperor Yongchang settled down, he actually handed over the affairs of Da Sheng Agriculture and the Academy to the Empress.
This is too bold.
He didn't dare to put it too clearly.
The entire Dasheng knows how good the relationship between the current emperor and empress is.
He was afraid that if he said one more word, his head would be separated from his body.
Xie Jingci sat on a high seat, looking down at the ministers below.
After a few days, there were more people in the court than at the beginning.
He had noticed these a long time ago and promoted them in the past two days.
The Minister of Revenue was a minister of the previous emperor. He was upright and honest, and loyal to Da Sheng, but his ideas tended to be old-fashioned.
In the past, besides Mr. Hou, there was only him.
Now that Mr. Hou is completely on Lu Wanyin's side, this old minister has shown his worth.
"I know you are worried about the well-being of our country, but there is no need to mention this matter again."
Xie Jingci's cold voice startled the court officials: "Since it has been raised today, I will leave it here.
Not to mention that the Queen has no interest in this matter, even if she does, I will take the initiative to give up the throne.
If the Queen had not been unwilling, I would have handed over Da Sheng's million-strong army to her as well."
The ministers were shocked.
Why does it sound like their emperor can't wait to give the kingdom to the queen?
Someone quietly went to see the guards standing on both sides of the emperor.
These people have been fighting on the battlefield with the emperor since he was still a general. Their loyalty to the emperor is unquestionable.
But after hearing these words, they didn't show any surprise at all.
It seems that everything is as it should be.
Crazy, all crazy.
The entire court, civil and military officials, bowed their heads and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"
No one dared to object anymore.
