“You’re doing this for my own good. But we can’t rush it. Let’s see if she can become a Zhaoxun after this child is born,” the Crown Princess said.
"I doubt it. His Highness doesn't care about her, does he? Ever since she got pregnant, His Highness hasn't visited her many times. Especially after what happened last time, His Highness hasn't gone even once. It's for the sake of the child, otherwise I'm afraid he would have ignored her sooner or later."
The Crown Princess nodded and said, "Tell someone to keep a close eye on her, at least make sure she gives birth to the child safely."
"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured." Su Jin thought to herself, "I'm afraid the adult is alright."
Meng Haijiang.
The spring winds are strong. Standing on high ground and looking into the distance, Shu Chengfeng could hardly see any trace of the past. Most of the people here live in tents.
Even if it collapses, it shouldn't be able to kill someone immediately.
The biggest loss was probably that many cattle and sheep were frightened and ran away, but they can be found after some time.
He was accompanied by local officials and generals.
Some were sent from the Central Plains, and some were locals.
It's easy to tell them apart; locals tend to have darker skin and reddish faces.
The clothing is also quite different.
Shu Chengfeng had traveled a long and tiring journey and was exhausted when he arrived here.
Fortunately, the local officials here are all very honest.
I told him right away that the loss wasn't significant, just troublesome.
The main problem is that Meng Haijiang has few people, so there are many wolves.
The cattle and sheep that escape may be eaten.
So the first thing they did was to stop people from finding the cattle and sheep for the villagers.
Everyone was able to rebuild their own tents after they collapsed, so the situation was much better than expected.
Therefore, this relatively minor natural disaster was not a big deal for the locals, and they were naturally happy that His Highness the Crown Prince had come.
Soon, several local princes arrived and pulled the crown prince away to drink.
Although he was called a prince, his rank was actually more like that of a marquis.
They are the earliest descendants of King Meng Haijiang.
He was later granted the title of Prince, and his treatment was the same as that of a Marquis in the Central Plains.
It's just that the place is special, so they're called princes. However, their titles are hereditary and will not be downgraded.
They were men with troops under their command, but compared to the nomadic peoples of the north, they were relatively peace-loving.
Over the years, the dynasties have changed, and they have been treated well. Therefore, they have no intention of rebelling.
With them in command, the western territories were also safe. They even defended the areas bordering the northern steppes.
The Tuotuo people dared not cause any disturbance.
So it's really important. Because it's important, even a harsh person like Shu Zhongjing wouldn't dare to be the slightest bit harsh on him when he came to power.
She also married into the family with a younger sister.
However, the princess couldn't adapt to the local food and climate and died young. She did leave behind a little prince.
He's still a young prince, but he'll inherit the throne someday.
This prince is no longer young; he is seventeen years old this year.
He was raised by a maidservant of his mother, Princess Shuning, who later became a concubine of Prince Gagong.
This Prince Gagong was also an interesting person. Since Princess Shuning died, he had not appointed another Grand Consort.
Although he had quite a few children, he was the only legitimate son.
Logically speaking, given his Central Plains bloodline, he shouldn't be the most suitable successor.
However, Prince Gagong liked him, so he naturally became the crown prince.
For the Dayan Dynasty, that would naturally be the best outcome.
When the child saw the Crown Prince, he first bowed according to the customs of Meng Haijiang, and then addressed him as his cousin.
The Crown Prince humbled himself and got along very well with several princes and local officials.
I just can't stand drinking anymore...
The people here drink alcohol like it's water.
Just as the Crown Prince was experiencing both immense pleasure and excruciating pain, Consort Jin in the palace was finally about to give birth.
The time was the night of March 20th.
The Crown Princess had made preparations in advance, and naturally everyone had arrived.
I'm too lazy to go south to catch the wild geese, so I'll stay in Jiyue Pavilion.
I ate dinner early and went to bed.
Kim Bong-eui was having her first child, so it wasn't an easy birth. She struggled for a long time, and it was late at night when the time finally came.
With the baby crying inside, the midwife finally felt relieved.
There's no need to go out and announce the good news; the Crown Princess has already returned.
"Congratulations, Consort Jin! It's a grandson of the Emperor, and he's in good health," the midwife said with a smile.
Kim Bong-yi smiled and said, "Alright, everyone will be rewarded."
She struggled, saying, "You all just keep busy. Tomorrow morning, there will surely be more rewards from the manor."
The midwives all agreed with smiles.
She thought to herself, "No matter what, he's given birth to a grandson of the emperor. They'll definitely reward him handsomely."
Kim Bong-yi only fell asleep peacefully after seeing the clean baby. The baby was finally born safely, and both mother and child were well.
She was relieved; no matter what, once she entered the palace, her rank wouldn't be too bad.
Moreover, this is the second son of the Crown Prince.
The next morning, when the main courtyard paid its respects, everyone learned that Consort Jin had given birth.
The Crown Princess naturally rewarded the midwives.
He also instructed people to take good care of the mother and child.
Those who deserved rewards received them, and those who deserved gifts gave them. Of course, this did not include the returning geese.
She didn't give any rewards, and no one said anything about her.
Even if they want to say that this kind of thing isn't a requirement, so not giving it is simply not giving it.
The Crown Princess was delighted and wrote a letter to the Crown Prince that very day.
Back in Jiyue Pavilion, Yan Nangui smiled and asked, "Where are the things?"
Jiang Xiang said, "In the courtyard, you want to..."
"Take your things and come with me, and call Shuanzi along," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
“Liangyuan, today…” Jiangxiang hesitated.
"Let's go." Yan Nangui said with a smile, offering no explanation.
In Jinhua Garden, Ding Zhaoxun was consumed by jealousy; that wretched woman had actually given birth to a son.
She dared not do anything, so she could only make a few veiled remarks.
Yan Nangui suddenly arrived, and she trembled in fright: "Yan Liangyuan..."
"Go and bring Jin Fengyi out here." Yan Nangui smiled.
Jiang Xiang made up her mind and went.
Ding Zhaoxun asked, trembling, "What is this...?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just came here to cause trouble." Yan Nangui said with a mischievous grin.
Ding Zhaoxun took a step back and dared not utter a sound.
Kim Bong-yi had a natural birth. Although it was definitely not advisable for her to be exposed to wind or get out of bed at this time, Yan Nan-gui had already come, so how could she not come out?
She struggled to get dressed and came out: "Greetings, Consort Yan. May I ask what brings you here? I am still in my postpartum period..."
"What did I say back then? Didn't I say I was going to break your legs? Shuanzi, go find something handy. Don't let your hand shake, just once, don't make our Jin Fengyi suffer a few times."
Shuanzi agreed and went to find the things.
"Yan Liangyuan, ...what are you going to do? I...I was being used. I didn't mean to harm you..."
Jin Fengyi trembled with nervousness: "I just gave birth to the second grandson of the emperor. If His Highness finds out about you... what benefit will you get?"
