Thinking of this situation, Yan Zhuo's head hurt, and he quickly changed the subject of the emperor.
"Royal brother, isn't it time to pick a name? Hurry and show it to the imperial concubine, otherwise it will be almost lunchtime."
The emperor rolled his eyes at him and asked, "When did you become so obsessed with food?"
Didn’t we used to be able to eat once every two days when we were on a mission?
The emperor didn't know that Yan Zhuo had accidentally punctured his lung!
Good son, good subject, alas, the road ahead is long and arduous!
Concubine Chen looked at the names carefully one by one, and finally pointed out four, two for sons and two for daughters, which were basically the ones chosen by the emperor and Yan Zhuo before.
"Your Majesty, I like these. Please choose two from the four."
The emperor saw that they were all excellent, which made him feel very embarrassed. He caught a glimpse of Jiang Ying and Yan Zhuo's little movements and deliberately threatened them, "Princess Mo, my little prince and princess have been carefully cared for by you since they were in their mother's womb. How about this, I will give you the honor of choosing two out of four."
Jiang Ying clenched his fist and said a lot, and then broke one of Yan Zhuo's fingers.
This guy is becoming more and more outrageous and bold. He even dares to tease her in front of the emperor and the imperial concubine!
"This... isn't a good idea." Jiang Ying refused.
The emperor shook his head, apparently unwilling to give in.
The imperial concubine continued to exaggerate, "Your Majesty's suggestion is excellent, and I agree with it.
When I was a child, I heard that if a child is given a name by an elder who has both sons and daughters and whose husband and wife live in harmony, the child will be blessed as he grows up.
Although Prince Mo and Princess Mo only have one son and no daughter yet, I believe that the good news of a new addition to Prince Mo's family will be just around the corner."
"Is there such a saying? Will it bring good fortune to the child?" The emperor heard it for the first time and it was quite new.
After all, the royal family follows rules for everything, unlike the common people who respect more bizarre customs.
Concubine Chen nodded heavily, indicating that this was indeed the case, and also took this opportunity to express her gratitude to Jiang Ying. "Yes, Your Majesty, for the sake of our two children growing up healthy, no matter which name Princess Mo chooses, you must approve it."
The emperor suddenly felt a little lost. As the father, it was natural for him to name the child. But then he thought again, in fact, these names were all chosen by him, but he gave them to Jiang at the last moment, and it was all for the future safety and health of the child. It didn't take him a moment to figure it out.
He agreed, "Yes. The Imperial Concubine is my meritorious official, and I will listen to her."
Jiang Ying couldn't stand the two of them showing off their affection a little bit, so she quickly stepped forward and pretended to be conflicted, and then chose two names based on her son's thoughts.
Yan Jin rate
Yan Leying
It was also strange that the two children who were originally sleeping soundly actually stretched their hands and feet and slowly woke up when Jiang Ying chose two names.
When Concubine Chen saw this, she hurriedly asked Yuexi and Nanny Zou to call the people over, tugged at the swaddling clothes, and one of them called out "Sui'er" and "Ying'er". The two children, like little kittens, instinctively rubbed their sleepy eyes, and when they slowly opened their bright black eyes and looked at Concubine Chen and the Emperor, they felt that the most adorable little thing in the world was just like this.
Concubine Chen smiled with a loving motherly smile, "Your Majesty, you see, it's absolutely right. Even the two little ones are very satisfied with the names chosen by their Sixth Aunt."
The emperor was delighted. "Very well, a reward! I'll give you the former Xiangyang King's mansion as your new home for your wedding!"
I've thought about it before, but I couldn't bear to do it at the moment.
The Prince of Xiangyang was extremely extravagant. The steps in front of his palace were made of white jade, not to mention all kinds of precious and luxurious furnishings.
In other words, those jade bi and golden nanmu wood would be worthless if they were dismantled. Otherwise, when the military funds were insufficient a few years ago, the emperor would have thought of razing the Xiangyang Palace to the ground.
He never thought that he would willingly give away such a mansion that he felt guilty living in.
No flower lasts forever, no man is perfect forever...
Ironically, after Concubine Chen gave birth to the child with so much difficulty, she only had less than forty-eight hours of peace on the third day.
On the morning of the third day, just as the Imperial Concubine had instructed the servants to take the Third Prince and the Second Princess out to bask in the sun for a while, the Empress and Concubine Ruan arrived in their carriages one after the other.
On the surface, they brought the children to apologize to Concubine Chen, but anyone with eyes could see that the Queen and Concubine Ruan had other intentions.
When the emperor received this news in the Yangxin Palace, he suddenly stood up from his throne and said, "Oh no! I promised to listen to the explanation of the eldest and second princes, but I got so busy that I completely forgot!"
Eunuch Huang's face was filled with worry. "Your Majesty, I reminded you last night, but you said you would go today. Then this morning, we happened to encounter an urgent call from the border. So, you're delayed."
The Queen and Concubine Ruan waited and waited, but the Emperor never showed up. For the past two nights, one of their children was frightened and had a high fever, and the other had nightmares. They had no choice but to find Concubine Chen.
"Come on, Huang Mingquan, let's go too, otherwise the Queen and Concubine Ruan will have to eat the Imperial Concubine."
Eunuch Huang did not answer, but just flicked his whisk and walked forward. But he was thinking in his heart, Concubine Chen is not a ginseng doll that can be squeezed and flattened by anyone, who can eat her?
Besides, the Queen is sensible and never forces trouble on anyone. This time she came to the Emperor, probably because he was too partial to her!
But he only dared to think about these words in his heart and would never say a word even if he was beaten to death.
Inside the Yuntai Palace, however, the first round of overt and covert attacks had already begun.
After three days, Concubine Chen was able to get out of bed with difficulty. Despite her uncomfortable body, she received the Queen and Concubine Ruan.
"May Her Majesty be blessed with good health." She bowed.
The queen looked at her son, whose face was flushed, in the arms of her confidant. For the first time, she showed no pity at all and accepted the gift from Concubine Chen as a matter of course.
Concubine Ruan's rank was lower than that of Concubine Chen. She only paid her respects to Concubine Chen after Concubine Chen paid her respects to the empress.
As soon as Concubine Chen came up, she spoke first, "I did hear about the punishment of kneeling and praying, but I haven't recovered yet in the past few days. I wanted to wait until I felt better before going to your palace to talk about it."
Just like she and Jiang Ying said, she didn't want to suspect anyone casually.
Especially don't doubt children.
"We've all given birth before. This month, Concubine Chen has to recuperate and stay in Yuntai Palace. We all know this, so since Concubine Chen can't come to see us, we took the initiative to come and see her. Our purpose is the same: to talk it out. Adults are fine, but children can't stand being wronged."
Concubine Chen had just said one sentence when Concubine Ruan had already said several, and there was an obvious condemnation in every sentence.
I guess he thought it must have been Concubine Chen who whispered in the emperor's ear, which made the emperor agree to investigate the truth, but suddenly ignored it. Isn't this like putting two children on the fire?
One was timid to begin with, and the other pretended to be strong. After three days, the fat one became thinner, and the already thin one became completely unsightly!
